THE HoBos ARE SAD.
The County Jail IL Made . Cherries
Home for Them.

Home for Them.
The county jail is not a haven Of
quiet amusement for the hobos now.
The era of cards, music and feasting,
while enjoying the hospitality of the
taxpayers. has passed into oblivion
and the detected and disguised inmates
resent the change. Yesterday morning
Sheriff Mcqueen instructed the officers
at the Jail to enforce the rule recently
established by the supervisors, under
which the prisoners are to be locked IN
their cells except one hour in the fore
noon and one in the afternoon. This
rule was observed yesterday for the
first time and as a result there was
weeping and gnashing of teeth among
the Gagged loafers VINO have hitherto
enjoyed soft snap. The rule is be-
lieved to be one OF the sensible things
done by the supervisors. ''The county
Jail, as we'll as all other jails, should
possess an element of holy terror to all
persons" said comfy officer last
night. "Why l know of some God
-fOrsaken and handicapped creatures
winter quarters with plenty to eat,
warm fire and nothing to do. This
new order of things will make such
fellows very tired. Yes, they had a
picnic IN there for a long time. Their
time is spent in playing cards, reading
cheap novels, chewing and smoking
tobacco, telling ribald stories and hold
ing kangaroo, OF mock courts. Their
condition was far better than many
honest and industrious mems outside.
/ am glad of it. A prison is place for
punishment, and every regularly con-
victed criminal should be so managed
that when he comes out he will not
say it's q soft place for the winter
OF course some innocent men are
/ temporarily in jail and they should not
be made to suffer. Nor indeed would
/ favor any harsh or corporal punish
ment. but you bet your life there would
be no festivals held in the corridors
while l was running the coop!"

A Senatorial Dandy.

Washington Correspondence New Yori
Tribune: Here is the picture Of the COSTUME
ola Southern senator which should be pre-
served in the record of the fashions Of the
time. This senator wore on his head a
small, soft black hat, well pulled over his
eyes. His undercoau was dark green, made
so as to button at the throat. Under that he
wore low-buttoned waistcoat, leaving a
white. shiny triangle Of the shirt bosom
showing. upon which glowed coral studs.
His trousers were dark blue, with light
red stripe. These trousers were made abso-
lutely skin-tight, like the trousers OF the
German officers. They came down snugly,
over pair oflow Ok ord tieshoes tied with
loose. wide ribbon laces. Over this morn
ing costume he wore drab-colored cloak
lined with brown. The collar of the CLOAK
was q light blue purple velvet. It was
caught at the throat with two brass hasps
Of q character ponderous enough for fasten-
ing the back door OF a stable. 1t was in this
unique and altogether original attire that
the senator was out paying his respects to
various department otncials.

Too Much.

The Lewiston Journal prints story
of a man who lived several years ago
on one of the islands OF Maine, and
was commonly reputed to be a miser.
The anecdote does not of itself estab-
fish the truth of this common report,
but it shows pretty conclusively that
he was not a man of the world.
" He possessed considerable property,
and one winter, during the session OF
the legislature, had occasion to visit
Augusta. He stepped into res
taurant for dinner, and the waiter
spread before him the printed bill of
fare.
The novice took it for a bill of
charges. He ran his eye over it quick
~ footed up the figures at. the right
OF the page. Then he sprang to his
feet in Indignation.
WHAT said he, call that to pay,
and haint eat q mouthful YETI"
No doubt he thought Augusta PEG.
pie q set OF sharpers, and according to
the Journal, on his next visit to the
capital he carried with him a pail Of
victuals.

WANTS HIS WIVES,
Cannon Afraid That He Cannot Keep
All of the Mrs. Cannons

Cannon Afraid That He Cannot Keen
All of the Mrs. Cannons.
SALT LAKE CRY. Utah, April THE
spring conference of the Mormon church
closed to-day. At the morning session
George Q. Cannon spoke Of the IN anifesto
stopping polygamous marriages for the
fnture. He said it was hard for him to &C.
cept it, but the saints were in straits and
something had to be done. He finally saw
the light, but much against the grain, as he
had always held that the salvation OF the
soul lay through polygamy. The question
now was, what could be done with plural
wives? He had hoped the government
would say the husband could keep them,
and may be that would be done yet.
Raterring to statements issued by anti
Mormon agitators that the manifesto issued
some six months ago by President Wood
roof in regard to the discontnuance of
plural marriages was not genuine Cannon
said its sentiments were sincere and it's
terms had been observed. 1t is the
intention Of the Mormon people as then
stated to abide by the law. He
considered it of the utmostimportance that
this should be thoroughly understood in
future, and that when promise OF this
kind is made by them. they mean what
they say; that they are not dealing falsely,
but are treating matters in good faith. He
said the Mormon people will accommodate
themselves to changed conditions to the
best OF their ability. and honestly carry out
all they have promised.

NINE LIVES LOST.

The Fire at Rochester. Pa, More Fatal
Than at First Supposed.
RocHEsrEE, Pa, April 1.-The fire here
last night, in which fourlives were reported
lost, was worse than at first supposed, nine
bodies having been found.
The wife and son Of C. J. Keene, the
shoemaker, were visiting in Pittsburg. Had
they been at home they would no doubt
have also lost their lives.

one of the family to escape, although not
seriously injured, is Frustrated. -. 49,. -
There is no definite evidence as to how
the fire started, but st is the opinion OF the
auth orities and it seems to be the correct
one that lamp left burning by Mr.. Keene
in his kitchen exploded and fired the house.
There appears to be no indication of incer-
diarism. A revised list of the dead fol-
lows: c. J. Keene, aged forty; Walter
Keene his son, aged nine; Baptist Tee

aged thirty-six; Yosef Tecchio, aged thir-

For some time past the rumors of the re-

About9 o'clock twenty Italians came I'm
in body to apply tor work. They told
the superintendent that they would work
for 81 day. When the others who had as

Italians, they seized fence pickets, stones
and an other missiles and charged the Italians.

High Rents in Gotham,

In a days search we found less than
d dozen vacant houses on the Hill,
and while we were hesitating between
them they were rented at prices vary
ingfrom $2,6OOto 49, 200. It is not at
all difficult to find tenants, which
causes it to seem a little strange that
rents have not advanced. Stores,
tailor shops, millinery establishments
and offices continue to creep into this
district. The business invasion OF the
streets adjoining Broadway near
Thirty-fourth street is driving out
many residents, whose houses are
eagerly sought for commercial pur-
poses at from $4,000 to 81, 500.
Some well-known places in Fifth av-
enue have been abandoned to trade,
noticeable one among them being the
old Dinsmore house on the northeast
corner of Thirty first street. 1t costs
$4,000 a year, and IS now under
going alteration to fit it for business
purposes. It is not less difficult to
buy a house here than to rent one.
We priced several just for the fun Of it,
and found prices practically out Of
reach. In Thirty ninth street, for in
stance, between Fifth and Madison
avenues, we were asking to give $780,
900 fora four-story dwelling that was
not at all extraordinary. We admit
that neighborhood is great deal, but
we cannot afford to buy a whole one
for the sake of obtaining q home. In
Thirty-slxth street modest house
was offered us at $4,000. In Park
avenue we found the prices from $50
900 to $13O,OOO, and the agents dis
inclined to reduce their figures in the
slightest degree Tribune.

surrounding the disappearance OF James
Bellew was cleared up to-day by that gen.
tleman's return home
MIR. BelleW is commission merchant and
started for Mexico by the way of Galveston
a month ago. He spent about a week in
Galveston and then left for Mexico, since
which time nothing has been heard of him
until to-day. At Paso Del Norte
Mexico, Mr.. Bellew tendered
Mexican merchant ten
dollar gold piece in exchange for some pur-
chases The Mexican claimed that the coin
was only five dollar piece. A dispute
arose, and the Mexican called on the police
and had Belew arrested. The prisoner W as
thrown into Jail, and was denied all
communication with his friends or with the
American consul
He says that he was subjected to all sorts
OF indigrities and harsh treatment. His
health has been shattered by confinement
IN prison. and he intends that the American
govern ment shall procure satisfaction from
the Mexican government.

Thursday, April, 2.
SENATE.

The routine business of the senate was in
ordinately dull yesterday. Nearly the
whole day was spent on general orders and
it happened that no bills of particular in
terest to the general public were discussed
1t was the same way with the calendar
Senator McMillan's automatic coupler and
brake bill-the measure which provides
that all cars and engines in the state must
be equipped with couplers and brakes with
IN tour years-was referred to committee
consisting of Senators Mcmillan and Morse,
the latter having discovered a provision
which he thought needed modification. L:
will be reported back to-day, and being first
on the calendar is likely to be passed. This
was the most important bill on yesterdays
list. The bill providing Tor the revision of
the statutes under the direction of the at
torney general went through without OBJ
lection. " r,
In the afternoon there was little more
animation in the senate over J. w. Peter
sons bill! amending the law regulating the
sale and manufacture of baking powder
and prepared foods, syrups and the like.
After the bill had been amended by pro-
visions requiring that all ingredients be
shown on the labels the bill was recon-
NEEDED for passage.
The joint resolution petitioning congress
to stablish postal telegraph was favorably
considered. This was one OF Donnellyis
pet schemes. Another bill OF some inter
est was that Of Senator Leavitts, providing
Tor the assessment and taxation OF tele.
phone and telegraph lines. The Currier
bill from the house was substituted for this
1t having practically the same provisions
and was then recommended for passage.

ton of employees of the house CAME up,
Mr.. Feig calling up his resolution Of March
