that some day these forest aiSeS would

habitation of his relentless enemy, the pale

little villages and cosy cottages where

the opening of the summer season, which Will

quarters to be oterhauled and repaired,
preparatory to being launched into the blue

to guests. The visitors are nearly all bent
on getting the earliest enjoyments of the
fishing season, and daily excursions are
made to the grounds where, from the limpid
depths. fine strings of bass, perch, pike and
croppies are quickly pulled. The old resi-
dents at the lake say that the fishing this
season offers unusual amusement and sue

of the fact. Fishing is a source OF
amusement that is cOurted by the

AFFAIRS OF THE RK-HOUSE.
Superintendent Thompson's Report of the In
stitutiOn'S First Year.

Mr. Thompson, who retired day before yester-
day from the Office of work-ho superintend
ent, has presented to the County Commissioners
an annual report of the transactions at that in
stitution. The building was ready for occupan-
cy on the 2lst of October last, aud on that day
the first prisoners were received from the May
or's court. Within few days thereafter pris
oners in the Jail on short-term sentences were
transferred to his care. From that time
until the 18th OF December, the
men were used in grading and filling up the low
levels of the grounds During the year but one
attempt to escape through a conspiracy was
made, although thirteen succeeded in getting
away at different times by their own individual
efforts The health Of the prisoners has been
so good that none of them were at any time
unfit for work, except FIVE who were brought
there suffering with disease. They were trans
ferred to the City Hospital. Breaking stone has
been the principal industry, with few engaged
in gardening. They produced enough vegetables
to supply the prisoners and officers table and to
give good store of potatoes and onions for the
winter
During the year 1.066 men and boys, and 243
women and girls were committed to the institu-
ton, those under sixteen years of age number
ing forty four. OF these one was a girl eleven
and another boy twelve years of age. Of the
whole number the Mayor committed 1, 2l9 the
Criminal Court50 the United States District Court
Z, and the justices of the peace 33. There were
1898 discharged. leaving in the institution on
the 18th inst. seventy-one persons. AS to ma
tionalty. l042 were born in this country, and 267
in foreign lands The offenses were of all
grades Of minor crimes and msdemeanors, but
nearly one-t third of the prisoners-470-were
sent out for drunkenness. The daily average of
prisoners was seventy.three; the average SEN
tence, thirty days; the longest 300 days, and the
shortest, one. 1t cost ST. 1897 to feed and
clothe the prisoners. and SO, 03 to pay Off
GERS, attendants and guards, the daily cost of
the whole institution being $50 and the cost of
maintaining each prisoner 30 cents per day. The
stone broken cost 81 236 81, and that sold and on
hand is worth So GOO 30.
