CITY AND VILLAGE LOCKUPs.
What Secretary Hart Says on the
Subject.

SuDJCcts
The legislature of 1895 passed a law
providing for annual inspection of city
and village lock-ups by local health Of
f1cers, with a report to the state board
Of corrections and charities and to the
city and village council. This law has
now been in operation for two years
and the results have been very salts
factory. Health officers have made in
telligent reports and the reports Of the
second year show that in many cases a
marked Improvement in the condition
Of the lock-ups has resulted.
There are in the state of Minnesota
242 city and village lock-ups. Of this
number only II are fire-proof build
ings, as follows: Cloquet, Norwood.
Moorhead, Brainerd, Gilmore, Water
vile, Stewartville, Fosston. Duluth
(headquarters), West Duluth. Owa-
tonna, Staples, Wabasha, Waseca,
Newport, Saltwater and Monticello.
Only 80 can be considered suitable
buildings for their intended purpose
Nearly all of the lOck-ups are wooden
buildings with wooden cells, so con-
structed that it is impossible to keep
them free from vermin or in a Sani-
tary condition. The reports show that
in many cases the buildings are neg
lected and that the cells and the bed
ding are found in a dirty condition.
ton to the risk Of fire to which prison.
ers are exposed.
The law Of 1895 requires that all
plans for city and village lOckups must
be approved by the state board of cor
rections and charities, and that the
board should not approve of any plans
which did not provide either for fire
proof or for buildings protected within
and without by fire-proOf material.
Under this law good flre-proof lock-
ups have been built in several villages,
but in several cases the law has been
neglected by the village authorities and
lockups of the old type have been
built without consulting the state board
of corrections and charities. 1t is be-
lieved. however, that these cases have
resulted from ignorance Of the law and
otfrom the willful disregard of the law.
On the whole, there is a decided adj
vance in the condition and the admin
istration of the lock-ups Of the state.
though there is still room for marked
improvement.

WEAK AND EVASIVE.

The Minneapolis Journal exhibits
symptoms of ratified condition in its
comments upon some criticisms Of the
c. O b e, which it does not at all at
tempt to answer. of the policy of try
ing to buy prosperity" 1t does not
have the courage to admit the con-
fusion of it's original article and the
mistakes that it made, even from the
point Of view of one who believes in
subsidies. tariffs and bonuses. It pre-
tends to be exercised about having
freight money go into American peck
cts. We have simply in this matter to
repeat the question which it has not
attempted to answer If an American
ship no matter where constructed.
owing to the absence of robber tariffs,
at such a price that it is profitable to
run it, and then should engage in the
American carrying trade, to whom
would the earnings and profits of the
business be paid? Will the Journal
kindly explain how the freight receipts
of a line owned by American capital
and all the profits of the business could
go anywhere else than into American
pockets? We have yet to be instructed
how it is that a ships earnings would
be paid to it's builders after it had been
sold to citizens of another country.
The Journal asks us a couple of
questions which we are exceedingly
glad to answer, because they furnish
the keynote of the fundamental differ
ence between its views and ours, being
the distinction between bondage and
liberty
Didn't the Glo b e advocate in 1894 the
legislation Of prosperity into the country
through the Democratic tariff? Didn't it de-
clare that by the repeal legislation which
stopped silver imitation in 1893 the country
would be prospered? Has it not frequently,
during the past winter, advocated legislation
in Minnesota to promote prosperity by immi-
grafton or by removing this and that bur-
den from the people?
Precisely so. The G 10 has advc-

Days.

The funeral of Fred Uttley, son of P.
L. Uttley, took place yesterday after
noon at o'clock from the home of his

best Of health and spirits, but towards
evening he was taken i'll with what
was supposed to be fit of indiges-
ton; he grew no better Monday and a
physician was called in Tuesday, as
there was no change in his condition.

startled his parents by telling them
that he was dying. Several doctors

This is due to the fact that the comedian can

factor to his success les in the fact that his

Washington, April 13.--Isador Efron, 3
merchant of San Antonio. Tex, was as
sauIted and robbed by footpads in the
White house lot late Saturday night. Mr.
Efron is in Washington seeking appoint
ment to a consulate in Japan, and is en-
dorSed by Mark Hanna.
Mr.. EfrOn arrived in town Saturday and
about 10 o'clock was on Pennsylvania

had missed his way Seeing two men of
apparently respectable character the
avenue, he asked them to direct him TO
his quarters
Instead of going toward his rooms, how
ever, the men went in the direction of
the rear OF the White house. Mr.. EfrOn
finally became suspicious when the larg-
er of the two men seized him. while the
other struck him q sharp blow on the
head with a blunt weapon. The blow
staggered him, and before he was fully
aware of what was going on they bad
rif1ed his pockets of a watch and chain,
$40 in cash, and a pOcketbook containing
drafts on New York for $50.

THREE CENT CAR FARES.
Causes a Great Suit to be Brought IL
IndianapoIis

Indianapolis, April 13.-Three cent
fares for street car patrons are on trial
in this city in the big suit before a
United States judge to test the validity
of the new act of the legislature cut
ting down the fare to cents.
The suit is brought by the Central
Trust company of New York, trustee
for the street railway company's bonds.
The law will go into effect in a few
days and the result of the suit will be
full of interest to municipalities and
street car companies everywhere.
The plaintiff asks the court to en-
join the company from complying with
the law, the city from trying to enforce
it and the prosecuting attorney from
prosecuting any violatOrs of its provis-
ions. Intense interest is manifested in
the case by the people of this city. The
terms of the statute are peculiar.
The law gives the people two meth
DDS of remedy against a refusal of the
company to accept a Scent fare. 1t
provides that any employe of the COM
pany that refuses to accept the fare
may be arrested and fined for each Of
fense, or the person aggrieved by the
refusal or who is compelled to pay in
excess of 3 cents may sue and recover
damages not to exceed 800. 1t is fur
ther provided that the charge of 3 cents
shall cover transfer to any of the COM
pany's lines and secure all the privi-
legeS that are now enjoyed under a s.
cent fare.

4 MILLIONAIRE LABORER.
Hubert Pratt Serving an Apprentice
ship in a Standard Oil Refinery.

New York, April 13.-Hubert Pratt, son
of the late Charles Pratt, the multi-nil-
liOnaire associate of the ROckefellers in
the Standard Oil company, and brother of
Charles Pratt, who is a Standard Oil
magnate today and owner of about half
the securities of the Long Island railway,
has decided to become a practical man in
the oil refining business. He has appren-
ticed himself in the Queens County oil
works and, clad in a SlOuch bat, mon
key jacket. from which the grease fairly
oozed, a pair of overalls that showed the
effects of hard service, and a pair OF rub
Der boots, the yong man was seen today,
assisting the engineer, rolling barrels or
doing whatever he was ordered to do at
the refinery in Green Point.
Young Pratt has been working here in
the yard and all over the plant for some
months past said the superintendent of
the Queens County Oil company today.
He is deSirOus of learning the business
of oil refining and the disposition of Pc
troleum products thoroughly, and so he
came here and began at the very bottom
of the ladder. He has learned rapidly,
mastering one branch of the business
after another, and 1 suppose he will be a
graduate in the science of oil refining
SOON
Young Mr.. Pratt lives in a mansion at
No. 232 Clinton avenue, Brooklyn, and is
in his own right worth several million
It IS said he will leave the Queens
County Oil works in the near future to
assume the management of another big
oil refining concern, in which some of the
family millions are invested.
