AN ARMY OF PRISONERS
Two Hundred and Twenty Be-
hind Iron Bars at New Castle.
THEY ARE MARCHED IN TOWN NOW

Prisoners Have to BE Paraded Through
the streets Again as There Are No
Afternoon BATTERY" TraIns-Mayor
Herbert Makes Rev Regulations Re-
garding Cattle on the streets-Other
Matters.
Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
NEw CASTLE Sept 15.-The startling
announcement made recently that there
are 225 prisoners confined within the
walls Of the county Jail here has caused
much comment. To-day the number
was diminished TO 22O by the discharge
of five short-tarm men, but even the re
naming army is larger than has ever
been known. The principal increase
during the past month has been in the
short term prisoners, those sentenced to
hard labor and the stone-pile gang has
been divided into two gangs. one crack
ing the rocks at a lively rate for eight
hours every Monday, Wednesday and
Friday. the other coming on for duty
every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
The return Of peach plucks from down
the state has had little to do with the un-
precedented increase. Chief Warden
Francis, in an interview this morning,
said; "The only way we can account for
the increase by careful examination Of
the roster and the men themselves Is
that IL is a direct result of hard times.
These fellows were thrown out of work
many of them, and, as was the case in
the Puritan ranks in New England,
idleness begets vice.
'On account Of the recent p. w. & b.
changes by which all the afternoon
Battery trains we're taken off, all the
Wilmington prisoners now have to be
landed at the Delaware railroad station
at the foot of South street and marched
through the oity's streets. Sometimes
the gang numbers a score and the
chained prisoners are followed by a
hooting crowd Of boys.
Dogs, Mules, Geese, Horsesl and Cattle.
Mayor Herbert has made new rules to
better enforce the ordinances and state
laws In relation TO animals. Ducks
are not included as they eat refuse mat
ter and purify the streets. They are as
follows.
New Regulations in Enforcing City
Ordinances.
"On and after this date the rule com
pelling police constables to enforce GER
tain ordinances has been dismissed for
tine present and Dog-Catcher Michael
Bishop has been appointed special officer
TO enforce ordinances as follows viz:
''An ordinance to prevent the running
at large Of geese.
"An ordinance to prevent the running
at large of horses, mules or animals Of the
horse kind.
An ordinance to prevent the running
at large Of goats.
IAN ordinance in relation to dead
animals within the city limits.
ALSO the law preventing cattle from
running at large in school districts Nos
40 and 46, both Of which are in the city
limits"

There are but few ambidexters, either

clans and oculists Of the country have
been able to learn in lifetime. re-
marked that It is an established fact that
we all use one eye more than we do the
other, which establishes as clear a case
of "left and right eyedness" as though
the same terms were used TO denote a
preference in the use of hands and feet

pus-a cruel old thief. The picture shows
him kneeling down and with one large
right hand throttling the revolutionist Gar
"a, represented by a goose, and with one
large left hand seizing the federal district
railroad. The English Of Cara is crane,
and there is some deep appropriateness in
representing him as a goose. Uncle Sam
has 10 other hands, which are diving into
pots filled with Mexican gold. His eyes
are bullying with greed.
Another cartoon shows him jumping
across the Rio Grande on a long horse aim
ing pistol at goose (Garza) which is fly
ing off with flag bearing the words Rev
olutionery Plan" Behind Uncle Sam are
certain shorthand characters which mean:
uphold tyranny in Mexico until the
Most Necessary shall be crowned emperor
to protect our enterprises and business af-
fairs. Virgil sang praises to Augustus,
who restored the poets farm, though all
the rest of the people of Mantua and Gre
mona were deprived Of their lands and
homes"
"The Most Necessary" Gel Necesarissimo
in SPANISH is phrase applied to Diaz,
whose supporters insist that his rule is a
necessity until the republic is settled and
orderly. He is supposed to be friendly to
the United States; hence the opposition's
satire Uncle Sam is presented much more
faithfully than in English or French pa
pers, with the big beaver hat, long hair,
cadaverous features, swallowtailed coat
and other accessories, much as our own
caricaturists represent him.
Americans recently from Mexico say that
these cartoons correctly present the popular
Mexican view Of the United States. The
general notion is that we Americans are
just burning with anxiety to get more Mex
lean territory.

Wordsworth In His own Home.

That Wordsworth entertained high
idea of womanhood in the abstract is un,
doubted and is evident in most Of his poe
try, but it is equally true that he could Ill
support contradiction or interference from
the ladies Of his own family, from whom,
by the way, he was likely to meet with
very little Of either. He was lord para
mount in his home-the central figure of a
group of devoted and faithful admirers,
who could see no flaw in anything he said
or did. His sister and sister-in-law resided
constantly with them, joining wife and
daughter in one invariable chant Of praise
of his great gifts and veneration for his
genius.
Under such circumstances who would
wonder at the growing weakness for uni
versal appreciation which is said to have
beset in his latter days the grand old Lake
poets.- -Cornhill Magazine,
