MAKING CONVICTS WORK.
New Plans to Be Prepared BefoIe
September.

A joint meeting was held yesterday at
the capitol of the states prison inspect
ors and the state board of corrections
and charities. The subject before the
meeting was matter relating to the en-
ployment of prisoners at Saltwater.
Prison inspectors present were: A. K.
Doe, Saltwater; j. F. Norrish, Hast
ings; E. Dunn, Eyota, and Warden
StOrdock. Members of board of correc-
tions and charities-Governor McGili,
ID. G. Bell, Minneapolis; DR.. g. Vivian,
Alexandria; ii. r. Wells, Preston, and
Secretary Hart. A report was pre-
scented by Secretary Hart which set
forth that there was a general ten
dency towards the abolition of the system
allowing cOnvictS to perform contract
work, substituting in place the state ac-
count system. By this system a prison
develops somewhat like a manufactur-
ing establishment, the produce of the
cOnyictS being sold in open market.
Mr.. Hart suggested that the system
should receive thorough Investigation at
their hands, and that the legislature
should be asked to make permanent
provision for its adoption.

Dor favored the adoption of the system,
and Secretary Hart produced the fol-
lowing statistics of the distribution of
labor in the state prison: Wagon and
hard wood carpenter shop, IS; soft
wood carpenter shop, %; soft wood and
hard wood planning shops, %; paint shop,

engine manufacturing shop, 21: foun-
dry, 81; setting up separators and horse
powers, 20; sash and door jobbing de-
partment, As; fire and boiler room, 10;
clerks, 7.
At a subsequent meeting of the board
of corrections and charities plans for an
aims house for Becker county, and jails
for st. Louis and Isanti counties were
approved. d. G. Bell was elected vice
president of the board and the secretary
was instructed to furnish an estimate of
current expenses of state institutions
for the ensuing year.

ANOTHER FRANCHISE ASKED.
Determined to Have Street Cars
Run to Fort Smelling.

Run to Fort Smelling.
There was large attendance at the
meeting of the West Seventh Street
District union last evening, where the
principal topic of discussion was the
extension of the street car line to Fort
Smelling. 1t was the opinion of those
who addressed the meeting that no re-
lief could. be expected from the street
railway company, and that another cor
poratiOn should be formed, composed of
local capitalists, to take action in the
matter. AS result of the discussion
two committees were appointed, the
first to wait upon the mayor and coun-
ell and obtain their views regarding
the granting of a franchise, and the
second committee was empowered to
to take steps looking to the organiZa-
ton of new company. Several attor-
neys who were present stated that
there were no legal obstacles to the for
nation and operation of the proposed
company. 1t was an enthusiastic gath
ering throughout, and no doubt was en-
tertained that if a franchise could be
secured there would be any difficulty in
raising all the money required to begin
business at once.

PLEADED GUILTY,
But His Lawyer Thinks He Was
WrOnDed

Some time ago man named Williams
was tried at Minneapolis on the charge
OF grand larceny, and pleading guilty
was sentenced to year and three
months in the state penitentiary. The
statutes prescribe punishment in such
cas+s of not less than five years in the
penitentiary. On the strength of this
discrepancy the prisoners attorney had
him brought before the supreme court
yesterday on writ of habeaS corpus,
claiming that the sentence was void and
that the prisoner should be discharged.
The court took the matter under advise
ment and will render a decision to-day.

4 CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
By WIZ. H. S. ATKINSON.

A long time-a very long lineage,
I studied medicine with a jolly old
New Hampshire doctor. Even after
obtained my diploma continued with
DR.. Golightly until such time as fair
and favorable opportunity to branch
out for myself should appear.
Taking advantage of the presence in
his Office Of full-fedged NJ. D., my
old instructor decided upon indulging
in an extensive pleasure trip, and Left
me in charge Of his practice at Brent
ford. Almost my first patient, after
my Old friends departure, was little
girl, daughter of New York gentle
man who spent his summers at a coun-
try house in our neighborhood. The
child had scarlet fever, and, though
she was very sick, [ was given sole
charge Of the case. In the sick room
there was a hired nurse in addition to
the little ones mother; but the child
cared neither for the nurse nor her
mother.
A young lady, apparently visiting at
the house, was the only person whom
the sick girl would permit to attend her
in any way. [ remember that, in my
private opinion, l thought the child
showed decidedly good taste and sound
judgment; for if little Mable loved Miss
Morris before the sickness came, loved
the lady myself before my patient be-

"Poor girl heart-broken = darned
rascal-iust married-journey played
her out-trifle better now," ETC., etc.
Old Mr.. Rathbone led me across the
hall to a pretty morning room. The
curtains were drawn SO as to shade the
light. Reclining in an easy chair was
lady dressed in deep mourning, who
turned her head languidly as We entered
the room.
As INV eyes rested upon pale but
beautiful face, they beheld the one face
in all the world to me-that of the
woman / loved-Helen Morris!
Forgetful of the fact that I had been
called to see Mrs. Williams, and quite
unmindful of the runaway marriage, ]
took the dainty hand gently In mine,
and with much feeling, exclaimed: Il
am so glad to meet you once more!"
Suddenly the thought did flash itself
across my dull brain, that this was the
Mrs Williams whom I was to attend,
and the bitter knowledge that she was
another mans wife came slowly to me.
An acute ossession of misery took
possession Of me, while thousand and
one thoughts of the past ran riot in my
mind As for Helen-I mean Mrs.
Williams-she appeared to be consid-
er@bly astonished, is did the old gen.
laman, who exclaimed:
"Iou have seen my niece before,
ih3n, Doctor?"
"Ycs-no-that isl thought" l
stammered; then, as I fully compre-
hended that Tor some reason she wished
to ignore all former acquaintance, [
tried to say coolly and politely:
II beg the lady's pardon; it is a gross
case of mistaken identity on my part.
and J. am sorry that 1 made the blunder. :"
Quietly she bowed and with her old
grace and sweetness (Which in this in
stance, at least, seemed to me to be
very admirable acting) she said:
IL wish 1 could lay claim to former
acquaintance; it is SO pleasant to meet
old friends unexpectedly.
Then, as well as my nerves would al
low, treated my patient. AS I felt in
no mood for conversation, soon as I
could I took my departure.
My thoughts were none OF the pleas

street, but I thought I might as well

grow used to my disappointment, and
resolved to stay in Marblehead- Mrs.
Williams or no Mrs. Williams.
That afternoon I was honored by a
call from my old aunt. was not ex-
actly in frame of mind to entertain
her, but she was one of the sort who
can entertain themselves pretty well.
Even she noticed my guinness and raj
lied me in her talkative way.
"Why, John Beckwith, you're not
yourself! You're lonesome, man! You
Will never be success professionally
or socially, my hoy, until you marry.
Now, there's a fine chance right under
your nose, John. A beautiful young
widow whom many man would be only
too glad to have the chance of wooing.
and here she is a neighbor of yours in
a country place. Let me take you up
to see Mrs. Williams.
By this time I was getting interested
in my aunt's gossip.
"A widow, aunt? Are you sure Mrs.
Williams is widow?"
"Sure? Why, of course I am, John.
All, see you know something of the
lady and are already interested in her.
Well, good-by, John; I am real glad
to find that you can appreciate a good
thing when you see it"
If L had felt blue in the morning,
my feelings underwent violent change
now, as I asked myself what was to
prevent me from wooing and winning
Helen? Of course, as she was my pa
tient, had plenty of excuse for calling
upon her the very next day, and did
SO. She appeared distant and strange
at first, but after while she "thawed,
though she never seemed just her old
self. I thought it best not to refer to
former times, and so our conversations
then and on subsequent occasions was
confined to passing topics. Three or
four weeks slipped away, and at last l
Thought [ was bold enough to ask
Helen for some encouragement. I'M
agine the shock to my nerves, then,
when I was one morning greeted by
Mrs. Williams gleefully exclaiming
oh, Doctor Beckwith, congratulate
ne! Ny husband is coming home to-
morrow. Perhaps you don't know, but
so many unkind things have been said
about him, and now he can clear up
all doubts and We can both take our
rightful places in society again. You
have been so kind and such a good
friend to me that 1 felt I must tell you,

Well, it was certainly very fattering
to be so taken into lady's confidence !;
but I do not think my congratulations
were very hearty, nor my sympathy
very well, if at all, expressed. I know
just what wished; wished Mr.. Will

ESQ to speak, threw yourself at her feet
she was engaged and on the eve of mar

band all the while. You had better
steer clear of womankind, henceforth
and forever" I resolved to never ente,
Mr. Rathbone's house again, nor even
to pass it more than was absolutely
necessary.
But doctors, like beggars, cannot be
cLoosers, and the very next day I was
compelled to drive past the house. As
1 did SO voice (well known to me)
called out, "Dr. Beckwith!"
Naturally I turned my head toward
the speaker, and beheld sight which
made me imagine, for a moment, that
1 had gone crazy. There, on the porch,
sat two Mrs. Williams, or else Two
Helen Morrison one of each!
The ladies were laughing heartily,
and even before explanations were ten
dered [ began to see through the joke.
They were twin sisters, exactly alike in
every particular, except that, as 1 after
ward noticed, Mrs. Williams looked
slightly careworn, which her sister did
not.
Well, had been great goose, in
deed; but "all is well that ends well"-
and Helen has been my wife for many
years, now. 1t is only necessary to add
that Mr.. Williams was connected with
q bank, and owing to some irregulari-
ties perpetrated by others, in which
they had sought to implicate him, he
had got into serious trouble. To avoid
arrest and to give himself the chance
of establishing his innocence, as we'll
as Of setting matters right, he went to
Canada. The natural suspicious of his
employers and the public brought about
his wife's sickness, for which I attended
her. As the people of Marblehead were
ignorant of Mr.. Williams troubles and
enforced disappearance, old Mr.. Rath-
bone, to shield his niece from idle gos-
sip and unkind insinuations, allowed it
to be understood that Mrs. Williams
was widow. To this day she never
suspects that was a mistaken sutton
for her hand and heart, and she often
insists that she could never understand
why I shook hands with her when I
first saw her, finally concluding that it
was a part Of my prescription for a
nervous illness.
