TRENTON, Feb. 5, 1S97.-The United
States prisoners were brought from the
District of Columbia to the State Prison
in his city yesterday afternoon. They
were in charge of a deputy and three
guards and were all chained together.
They were taken from the Clinton street
depot to the prison in a lack.
This is the first batch to arrive under
the recent arrangement entered into with
the United States Government for the
combining of District of Columbia pris-
oners in the New Jersey State Prison.
The men were sentenced for various
terms for various offenses.
The fees for bringing the prisoners here
will be quite an item for those deputized
by the United States Marshal of the Dis
trict to do it. The deputy gets a fee of
10 cents a mile for himself and each pris-
oner. Out of this he has to pay all ex-
penses of himself and his prisoners. AS
it is only a one-day trip, these consist of
car fare, dinner and hacks. 1t would net
him, for yesterdays trip, it is calculated,
about $110. The guards get 10 cents a mile
each as their fee and pay their individual
expenses out of it, so that they get a
very liberal days pay.

Frank A. Mcgowan have fallen was the
commencement of a suit in charlcery yes

ciety to foreciose a mortgage. Judge
William L. Dayton entered the suit on

for $4,000 and was given by Mcgowan on
December 16, 1882. 1t is on the property
on which the big mansion has been built,
corner of Clinton avenue and Monmouth
street. Mcgowan became indebted to
the society for $4,000 and in order to Sc
cure the payment of this sum gave a
bond and mortgage. This has never
been paid, n the suit has been entered
to have 1t foreciosed.

to select 'men of eminent fitness" who

honorable figures on the stage of life.
The ~workingman, dressed in his neat and
becoming leisure attire, is an equally adj
mirable spectacle. When the American
workingman grooms himself up in his
best style and goes to see the pictures
or to hear the music or to amuse him
self in any other elevating way, we look
at him with admiration and respect, and
we point to him with pride as one of
the best products of our civilization.
But the workingrnan has no more right
to offend against the fitness of things
than his ~neighbor. When he forces his
dusty overalls. his shirtsleeves and his
unwashed face into places which call for
decorous appearance, he becomes a
mere rowdy and nuisance, and the sweat
and CRIME which are honorable to him
In the workshop become merely an offense
to his fellows, because they are out of

Some papers have alluded to the fact

but the blouse is the national dress of

stitutes a clean one for a soiled one when
he goes out endimanche. Our American
workman dresses as becomingly as any
other citizen. hanks to his self-respect,
his good wages and the c-heapness of
clothing under the Wilson tariff. He
has, therefore, no excuse for insisting
upon obtruding himself in the costume of
the workshop into places for which he
has suitable equipment whenever he
chooses to array himself in it.
