A TEMPTING MENU.
Rhode Island Feeds Her Prisoners
Well.
What II Means 10 Work Out Fine and
Costs.

IL any OF the citizens OF this or any
other State have any idea OF spending
any part OF the summer out at the jail,
now is the best timo to go, that Is so
far as ssfeed" is concerned, for the
guests at swell hotel do not get the
quality that the inmates DO at "Hotel
de Wall" Neither do they get as fresh.
Yesterday afternoon representative OF
The NEWS was out to the jail during
noon hour, ,and the long tables with their
460 odd occupants presented an inter-
esting picture. The table was loaded
oown with good things TO eat, "boiied
dinner" being the bill of fare. At about
every two feet on the table were piles OF
steaming corn, which an hour before
had been on the stalk; new potatoes
fresh from the hill; red and luscious to-
matoes, which a few minut es before
were swsyed backward and forward by
the breezes on the vine, and the ten
der cabbage and the pork with which II
was boiled looked SO good that person
who was trou bled with "loss of appetite
could not resist such a meal. The men
have all that they can eat, provid ing they
eat it in 80 minutes. There is nothing
close about Warden Wall In the way OF
eating. The only things that indicate
that the prisoners are not at a club BAN
auet at this time OF year Is the absence
OF toothpicks aud finger bowls.
In speaking of the jail there are but
few who have any conception of what ",
s., so or Sl5 and costs means, or how
long it takes TO "work" out a fine, and
to illustrate this one of the cases OF the
Sixth District Court this morning will
answer. A young man was fined sl5 and
cost for making an assault on a stranger.
Thee costs were $500, providing it had
been paid before he went out TO Jail, IL
not ;2. 80 was added to the cost for TAX
ing him to that institution, making the
fine and cost $3.50. This amount he will
be Obliged to work out at the rate of "a
cents day for the first five weeks, after
which he will be allowed 80 cents day.
Sundays are not included. So 1t will be
seen that person who has been sentenced
TO pay a fine OF S15 and costs and is not
able to 60 SO will be obliged to stay out
at the jail for nearly nine weeks.

Radical Change by a Big
City Factory.
Wcrkmen Reading the Writ
ing on the Wall. =
Compels TO Vote for Mckinley and
Sound Money.

there is a big sign on a building
forming. a part of the Fletcher Manufac-
turing CompaDy's plant on Charles
street. 1t faces so that pedestrians,
bicyclists and passengers in the railway
trains can see 1t. 1t reads:
"Vote for Mckinley and Sound
Money"
The fact that sign OF any sort would
be tolerated on the premises has occa-
stoned considerable talk at the orth
End. 1t was never heard OF before,
and employees who have grown gray in
the service of the company shske their
heads and declare tnat something must
be- the matter.
They say that one OF the most strict
rules In the factory has been broken by
the political sign. Memory cannot recall
the time when the Officials would permit
a notice OF anyt hing on the premises. III
an employe should happen to lose his
watch or diamond shirt stud or his
weeks wages and should make known
the fact by putting up writing on any
piece OF paper on fence picket, post or
anything else inside OF the factory pre-
serves it would be immed lately removed
and the offender would be in danger OF
losing his job. Yet in the face of this
aversion to signs and notices the COM
pany assisted painter Hefiernan, VINO
painted the sign, by mechanical APP
pliances heretofore exclusively used for
the benefit of the concern. Ladders,
horses, tackle and ropes were ordered
furnished him by responsible men in
the company's employ and the painter
had soft snap.
1t Is a good sign, too. Men who have
been employed IN some OF the various de-
partments of the big corporations plant,
however, are Of the opinion that they can
read the handwriting on the wall. Two
of them who have known 20 years TO pass
over their heads in this Charles street
esta blishment said that in ell that time
they never knew what IL was to be idle
from lack of employment until within
four years. Trouble began shortly after
the present administration got In its
deadly work and no twelve months since
have..passed wit hout q considerable break
in continuous work. Last year was
about as bad as this. AT present 80 hours
week constitutes the working time
and there is no regularity about that.
For instance the plant was shut down
yesterday and 1t Is going today. 1t may
be going again tomorrow and 1t may stop
until Saturday. There is no better out
look for the next four weeks. And this
has been going on for nearly thres
months.
This means a good deal to this neigh
borhood and other neighborhoods for the
Fletcher Man ufacturing Company en-
ploys about 1900 hands and their revenue
has boen cut down one half. The grocer,
the markotman and the landlord come in
for their share of the bad conditions,
end there is deepset impression that
protection and sound money will remedy
the present defects and make business
what it used to be.
For that reason nearly every man will
heed tho new sign and vote for Me-
Kinley.

IS NOT A SURPRISE.
Assignment of the Whitten Cycle
Co. Not Unexpected.
Friends Will Probably Lend Assistance

The failure OF the Whitten Cycle Manu-
much OF a surprise 10 those who have
been somewhat informed OF the gen.

The assignment for the benefit of credi-
tors was made TO Samuel #. Douglass.

a settlement is mace 1t Is believed that
the value of some of the assets will
shrink materially.
The company had an authorized capi-
tai Of 800, 900 when IL was recently organ

already subscribed and that amount was
really the capital stock at the time of the
assignment.
A lack of stock subscriptions and poor
collections are said TO be the direct cause
of the trouble. Friend, OF the young
men who form the company. il Is said,

them over the difficulty in order that The
business may be continued uninter-
ruptedly. The company owns the store
on South Main street in the Infanty
building, and operates factory

avenue, Elmwood. 1t las also branch
stores at Newport ana Narragansett Pier.

The first real knowledge of the state
