Statistics Compiled by secretary
Hart Make a Good Exhibit.
Criminal statistics are not the most
edifying reading matter, but they are
encouraging signs of intellectual
growth when a low percentage Of crime
is demonstrated. Minnesota stands
well i'll this respect, as during the past
three years the number of criminals in
state prisons, county and village lock-
ups, has been practically stationary. The
prison population on July 81 of this year
was as follows: County jails, 2O6;
city and village lock-ups, III;
st. Paul work house, 40; Minn eapOliS
work house, rs; House of Good Shep-
herd, 6; state prison, 49,; reform school,
23S; or total prison population of
1,217, against lob in 1887, and 1,03l in
1886. Secretary Hart. of the state
board of corrections and charities, COM
piled the figures, and expresses him
self well pleased with the story they
reveal. He further reports that COM
forts of the prison are being vigorously
attended 10, and that the gov
ernment of county and village
lockups shows decided improvement.
This could very easily be done from
the picture given by Mr.. Hart in
1884 of lock up in st. Louis county.
1t ran: 1.-THE front halls and stairways
were clean, the pantry and dining
room we're moderately clean; the
kitchen was not very clean: the back
hall to the stairway and mems dormi-
tory were dirty. Empty rooms were
moderately clean. Bed ticking and
blankets, as well as some of the sheets,
were very dirty. Multitudes of bed
bugs were found. Chickens had the
range of the house, and pigs
frequented the back dOOryard. There
was general air of untidiness about
the place. The overseer and his wife
were absent. On his way to the city
the visitor met the OverseeT. He was
intoxicated, swaying to and fro in his
seat, and urged the horse at a rapid
rate up the stony hill. In the wagon
was a coffin containing the body of a
woman destined for the county burying

of the board of directors of the Mime
sofa Magdalen society was held yeSter-
Gay afternoon. Several ladies interest

mothers. OF these children four are
now in the home, five were taken away
by their mothers, one was still-born, one
died and
-FOUR HAVE BEEN ADOPTED.
The work of the society has not been
confined to the home; many of the
members have been into the strong
holds of vice, seeking to save their er-
ring sisters, many OF whom, 1t was re-
ported. were deSirOuS of leaving theiI
ways of sin. but put Off the change
till 4 more convenient time. The ef-
forts of the society towards gathering
in the unfOrtunateS have not been as
persistent as they would have been had
they more room in the home. but OF

turned away. The following is a sum

Report OF the Inspectors of Still
water Penitentiary.

report or the inspectors Oh Stlll-
water Penitentiary.
The board Of prison inspectors met at
Saltwater penitentiary yesterday and
revised the semi-annual report for pre-
sentation to Gov. McGill to-day. Work
ings of the institution are very care
fully overhaulded in the report, particu-
lar attention being called TO the neces-
Sity for Improvement in the condition
of affairs regulating the employment or
cOnvictS, the $4,000 appropriated by the
legislature being practically useless for
accomplishing any permanent re-
suits. Since the 1St of September.
when the law doing away with
contract labor went into effect, great
difficulty has been experienced In ind
ing employment for the $50 convictS in
the penitentiary. Their time has been
mainly occupied in making excavations
for a new retaining wall around the
prison, and thousands of cubic yards OF
material have been deposited along the
lake point for the purpose of filling in
around the railroad trestles. The trans
fer company furnished the engine, and
the cOnYictS here loaded the material on
the cars, but at no time could accommO-
datiOn be found for more than ninety
men. Otherwise the condition OF analrs
at the penitentiary during the past SIX
months has been exceedingly SatiSfac-
tory. With view to preventing "es-
capeS' care has been exercised IN put
ting short term men to work outside the
walls. and this plan has worked most
successfully. The inspectors recommend
the creation OF a board of pardons, by
whom all applications from prisoners
and their friends shall be
INVESTIGATED AND DECIDED.
The inspectors are now subjected to
appeals from prisoners anxious TO Sc
cure pardonS. when they visit the penl-
tentiary, twice per month, but nothing
could be done by them, their duty being
merely to investigate the condition OF
the building and INQUIRE after the COM
fort of the inmates. &fter the election
next month, the inspectors state their
intention of making all investigating
tour in the East. They will be accom-
panied by Secretary Hart, of the state
board of corrections and charities, and
the ostensible object of the trip will be
to inquire into the state account system
of employing convictS. The conduct
of state prisons generally will receive
careful attention, and among the inStl-
tutiOns visited will be those at Joliet,
ILL.,. Columbus, o., the Elmira re-
formatory, in New York, and the Inc
briate asylum, at BinghamtOn, New
York. Three or four weeks will be
covered by the trip, report of which,
with recommendations as to the system
to be adopted for employing the con-
victs, will be made TO the legislature o.
next year.
There are now upwards of $50 con-
victs in the Saltwater penitentiary, and
their condition and health is all that can
be desired
