SAN QUENTIN.

SAN QUENTIN.
The committee also visited San Oman
tin, and compliments Warden Hale on
the efficiency OF his management. In re-
IatIon TO the proposed consolidation, the
committee thinks that san Quentin is too
close to San Francisco, and manv of the
prisoners do not have the dred OF iucar-
ceration there that they would have if it
were mora isolated, as Ii Is easy OF access
TO their friends.
The attention Of the committee was
called to the number OF boys under SEN
-tence for minor offenses, whose ages
range from l9 to p, and who are brought
IN contact with the most depraved Grim
InRlS. Methods should he adoDted
whereby grading and segregating of the
various criminal classes could be accom-
pIIshed in our prisons and retormatory
INSTITUTIONS. At the present time all
classes and grades are thrown together
against which the Wardens protest
Warden Hale has 800 young men whom
he believes could be reformed il clessi-
hed. The idea is presented of having the
two prisons divided into four classes.
Unless relief is given by transfer of
prisoners to Folsom, additional build-
lngs Will be needed at San Quentin. The
committee thinks the expense of bring
Ing prisoners from Southern California to
be so great as to justify the establishment
OF prison III that part OF the State. The
Jute mill at San quentin employs 100
prisoners and is run by two immense en-
glnes, and, in case of removal to Folsom.
II would be advisable Tor the Warden at
Folsom to keep table OF estimates Of the
maximum OF power developed at the
power-house when the river is at it's
lowest stage.
Cf l,26l prisoners, only eleven are
women. The management OF the hos
p!taI, under Dr. Mansfield, is excellent.

HOME OF ADULT BLIND.
Cargill moved the consideration of the
report OF the Committee on State Hospit-
ais and AsyIums presented on February
Sth, and moved its adoption.
Dodge spoke upon that portion of the
report relating TO the Home for Adult
Blind, and SAID il was not a pleasant

The Lower Phase of City Life-Father
and Mother Drunk.

William Moran, IS years old, of
aSao Leamy street, was seen by a
policeman Of the Thirtieth district on
Saturday night carrying his year-old
child along the street. The man was
too much under the influence of liquor
to keep his footing and fell, dropping
the baby to the pavement and bruls-
ing it about the face and body.
The policeman arrested Moran, and
when the case was reported to Lieu
tenant Enders he detailed men to in
vestigate it.
When they went to the address
given by Moran they found his wife,
Ella, also intoxicated, while playing
about the neglected rooms were two
other children, aged 4 and s years,
while a 6-weeks.old infant lay crying
in its cradle. The children were un.
kempt and neglected and were placed
in charge Of the Society to Protect
Children from Cruelty and the mother
was arrested.
Magistrate Lukens sentenced the
couple to three months in the House
of Correction, where the infant was
sent with its mother.-PhjLa. Times.

DEATH FOLLOWS A STRUGGLE.
AFTER ARRESTING A MAN IN HIS
STORE A CIGAR DEALER SUCCUMBS
TO HEART DISEASE.

John Helb, So years old, cigar
dealer, whose place of business is on
the southwest corner of Ridge avenue
and Jefferson street, Philadelphia g,
died suddenly at his store, recently,
from heart disease superinduced by
excitement in arresting a man for be-
ing drunk and disordcrly. A man
considerably under the influence of
liquor entered Helb's store and asked
him to wrap up bundle which he
carried in his hand. Helb did not
like the tone in which the request was
asked, and refused to comply with the
demand. This refusal greatly incens-
ed the man, who Immediately started
in, it is said, to demolish the store and
fixtures.
Heb seized him, however, and
shouted for help. Park Guard
Showaker, who was passing at the
time heard the cries and assisted
him to subdue the man, and they took
him to the station house only few
doors away. The prisoner gave his
name as William Toner, 80 years old,
of 1866 Patton street, and Mr.. Heb
made charge of drunkenness and
dlsorderly conduct against him.
Five minutes had scarcely elapsed
after this when Policeman Plummer
rushed into the station house and in
formed Sergeant Norbury that Helb
was lying dead at his residence. He
reported the affair to Lieutenant
Lyons, who notified the Coroner.
There were many witnesses Of the
affair, who state positively that no
blow was struck by either party during
the struggle. DR.. Keim, OF 2or5
Ridge avenue, who was called in to
attend Heb, said death was due to
heart failure.

Spencer and Nora O'Brien, the triple
star Shakespearean Company, will ap-
pear at the Opera House early in the

proportions, will be in the presentation
of the play, which is carried complete

scenic production of the play is prom
ised. All during the past Spring and
Summer Mr.. Hanford had artists and
carpenters at work preparing for this

Injured While Riding His Bicycle.

We are informed that the popular

dent near Patterson Grove last Sun.
day. He is reported as falling from
his bicycle while under full speed and

his equilibrium by the wheel striking
a slanting rock, or rut, he fell with
such force on his head and shoulders
that he was unconscious for a long
time. Evidently the bicycle is danger.

The Drawback on Trolley Car Profits.

Should one-half the exorbitant
claims set up be granted to persons
for injuries sustained by their coming
into collision with electric cars, the
margin of profits to the companies
must necessarily be pretty large to
meet these demands and pay running
expenses. The exorbitant claims pre-.
sented, no matter how serious or
trifling the injury may have been,
seem frequently to be based upon
the presumption that if corporations
have no souls they at least have plenty
Of available cash.

For the Children.

The time is close at hand for the an
nual fitting to seashore Or mountain,
with the prospect of rest and freedom to
tired mothers and housekeepers. There
is one difficulty which frequently inter-
feres with the perfect enjoyment Of this
blissful environment-that Of giving the
little ones their liberty in the matter of
playing in the dirt, and yet having them
presentable for the table or for chance
visitors
A very simple continuance will be
found to obviate the necessity Of too
many changes, or, on the other hand, Of
restricting the children's freedom. A
large, long sleeved apron is made Of
some dark gingham Or calico. This is
made with full skirt of double length,
through the hem of which is run tape,
which il tied round the child's waist
under all the skirts. When the emer-
gency Of mealtime Or company arrives
this apron is dropped off, the hands and
face are washed, and in a minute the
toilet is as complete as when the pretty
fresh dress and skirts were put Oh at
breakfast time.

A Girl In Gray.

A certain auburn haired girl appeared
at an evening party not long ago in a
simple gown which made her look like
picture. 1t was Of sheer gray organdie
made over mouse gray satin, the outer
skirt being very full and edged with
fluttering ruffles. The blouse was COM
posed of gray satin ribbon, three inches
wide, alternating with creamy white
lace, with a beautifully finished edge,
which Tapped over the selvage Of the
ribbon. About the neck was worn dog
collar Of silver. The sleeves were i'm
mensely gigot, the tightly fitting lower
arm buttoned with silver ornaments to
match the collar. Gray silk stockings
and gray suede slippers, with a bit Of
silver embroidery, and gray suede gloves
completed the picture, which any red
haired girl may duplicate for very lit
