Her disagreeable experiences began with
the awful Brooklyn theater fire in 1875.
which killed 400 persons, three of the vic
tins being members OF the company. Her
own escape was almost miraculous. In
1877 she passed through the famous st.
Louis fire.
Since that time she has seen more than
a dozen -theater panics, three of which
were caused by fire. Besides, she says that
several times scenery in theaters where she
has been playing has caught fire and been
eXtinguished without the knowledge of I,
audiences. At Rochester, N. Y, one tinu~
she pulled down some blazing canvas and
stamped the flames out herself.
More Of the panics which she has seen,
she says, have been caused by the noise of
fights outside the theaters in the streets
than by anything else. A frightful disas-
ter was barely averted at Owens opera
house in Charleston once when she was
playing there. The only reason for 1t was
a wordy war between two men on the side
walk in front of the theater.
Miss ClaXton has gained so much of n
reputation as n forerunner OF theater acct
dents that she says she is satisfied that
many people who would otherwise go to
see her act stay away because of their su-
perstitious dread.

ago, but soon returned to Chill, leaving his
wife and children in New York.
His wife found 1t hard to make both
ends meet and taught Mildred to dance
and recite, accomplishments for which she
had shown much talent. But as soon as
their relatives learned that little Mildred
was to appear in public a family quarrel
was started which occupied a good deal OF
space in the newspapers. Mildred's grand
papa, the late Rev. DIR. Ferdinand c. Ever,
was once n prominent New York clergy

PRISON LABOR IN uTAH.
A Salt Lake Grand jury Scores the Sys-
tenn of Convict Contracting.

A Salt Lake Grand jury Scores tile Sys-
tenn OF Convict Contracting.
The report of "A recent Salt Lake grand
jury contains the following:
During the session a matter was
brought to our attention that we felt it
our duty to investigate Thoroughly, it
being one of the great public questions
of the day, viz, h question of prison
labor. 1t would seem from the testi-
mony before this body that in the con-
tract work lately performed in this in
stitution prisoners were worked to a
considerable extent, not to the profit of
the government nor of the territory, but
to the profit of the contractors and to
some extent the acting warden and
United States marshal.
Prisoners were hired out to contractors
at the rate of one dollar per day, there
by duplicating free labor that would
cost from two to three dollars per day.
This we deprecate as inimical to honest
labor and calculated to deprive free
men, law abiding citizens, from the op-
FORTUNES of earning on public work az
honest living for their families. A large
amount of the money received for this
labor is alleged to have been appropri
ated to n penitentiary library fund, but
on investigation it was a~scertained dur
ing the early part of this session that it
was then on deposit to the private credit
account of the acting warden of the pen
itentiary. while it was claimed to be
held in trust as II library fund. This in
itself we feel it our duty to criticise and
condemn.
Since that time it is claimed the greater
part of this fund has been expended for
the above named purpose. 1t has been
further shown that the acting warden
and United States marshal have jointly
played the role of subc~ontractors, using
prison labor to advance private interests.
Many other things ave been alleged de-
rogatory to the honesty and integrity of
the management, and this investigation
has disclosed several instances of irregu-
larities that must reflect seriously on
the administration of this institution.
Some other serious charges have been
under consideration before this Jury
which did not seem to justify the return
of indictments, and as we understand
the district attorney has called them to
the attention of the court we shall make
no further mention here. Several other
smaller matters have been called to our
attention which we do not think ~justifies
any special consideration
The attention of the'court is called to
the alleged brutal whipping with a
horsewhip of one prisoner for an alleged
assault and the hanging by the thumbs
of another for the purpose of extor!ing
a confession

ing the past veal. ~ course a great
deal of this money has gone to main
tanning the societies II to greasing the
complicated machinery of distribution
which they employ. but probably more
than half of the sums expended have
been for food and clothing for the needy.
And has poverty been decreased in the
CITY? Has the number of destitute
and suffering been diminished by this
apparently lavish giving? The statis-
ticians of the various societies say not.
They admit when questioned upon the
subject that the grand army of poverty
is steadily growing and that greater
and greater precautions have to be en-
ploycd to prevent the charity o%rganiza-
tons being taxed beyond their capacity
by impositions, etc. No sensible re-
former would quarrel with the well
meaning men and women who give o
to the hungry and clothing to the naked,
but it is marvellous that in the face of
these returns there can be found one in
telligent person who does not under
stand that charity is only Il crutch
which enables crippled humanity to
hobble along with a diseased leg that is
becoming weaker and weaker. The dis
ease must he eradicated.
Another fatal accident on the New
York Central railroad is added to the
chapter of crimes chargeable to a regime
which believes in i~ntrusting the lives of
thousands of citizens to "men who do
not attempt to run the whole corpora
ton" 1t may not have escaped the no
tice of the reader that serious accidents
have been very frequent on the Central
since it made war upon labor organiza-
tons and began the system of blacklist
ing men large enough morally to stand
mp for their rights. Men who will work
long hours and submit to any kind of
treatment without protest are not al
ways easily impressed with the serious
side of anything-the safety of a rail
way train or anything else. OF course
a brakeman had to bear the burden of
the horrible disaster at Hastings.
