The young ladies' at the Art Students

Let Loose.

growled Judge Xix In the City Prison at
$3.50 O'Clock yesterday morning.
The prison was damp, dark and hot as al
oven. All the smells seemed to have been
gathered MP from the dumps, sewers aud
foul places in the city and poured into the
moldy old basement. in which over 800
men, women and children were confined in
cells. the walls OF which were dripping
with sweat caused by the heat and moisture
The prisoners who knew they had to stay
IN the prison had stripped down to their
undershirts, and still the perspiration ran
down their faces in streams.
Hurry up them drunks," said Judge
Xix. and he shed his big overcoaI aud wiped
the moisture off his forehead.
The officers and TRUSTEES rushed the great
crowd OF unwashed out of the drunk cells
INTO the main corridor where they stood
s ana sweitered while the roll was called.
There were Ia of them, and nearly every
one was an old timer. Black eyes and
bloody noses were as thick as feas on the
patrol wagon dog, and that dog often moves
without any exercise of his owD muscles.
Ii was too hot for Judge Rix to lecture the
unIortnnateS, and lie rushed them through
and out of the sweat box as fast as he could,
All were glad TO go. They were not used to
Hannah baths and they had been getting

grew better and the blo0dshot eSes brighter
as the crowd scurried away in very direc-

turned and looked back at the turnkey
and said: I've let 240 of 'em 90 in ten
