HARD TO BELIEVE.
An Extraordinary Change in the South
ern Police Station


ern Police Station.
Voluntary and involuntary visitors to the
Southern Police Station yesterday were
terribly shocked. A great transformation
had come over the place. 1t had strange
air of freshness. The doors of the cells
were painted green and the posts 4 razzle-
dazzle red.
Prison-keeper Judson wore a boutonnere
and preceded his questions regarding ar
rests with a Chesterfeldian bow as he en-
tered their names in the prison register.
The DRINKS and diSorderlies fail TO kick
up their usual row, and the officers about
the place spoke in whispers.
But 1t was none of these things which
overwhelmed the feelings of those who
habtually visited the place. The painting
did not cost much, and Prison-keeper JUDD
son had been long suspected of being a
polite ana urbane man. 1t was something
more unexpected. something harder to be
believed, and something which paralYzed
the mind and made one hold his breath
the janitor had actually scrubbed the floor.

Circuit Court yesterday for the granting of
writ Of habeas corpus in behalf of All

could not be prescribed by physician. All
