The penitentiary Is the best institu-
ton in the country, inasmuch as 1t
affords more opportunities to the un-
fortunate to right themselves when
they are released. Most of the institu-
lions OF this character put their men to
such work as broom making, at which,
when released, they cannot make more
than forty cents o dav On the ntbs'
foundry work, manufacturing, shoe
making, woodwork, etc., at which
convlcts. and especially long-term
convic,s, who learn their trade we'll be-
fore leaving the institution, are able to
make good money. Men in the lines
handled in this institution are able, on
being discharged, to make from $40 to
$40 q week. These are not the excep-
tons, but the figures given strike the
average. So it caa easily be seen
where the institution is really a benefit,
rather than Otherwise, to many men.
Many 60 there who have never known

Identity of Dead Man a Mystery.

south Berwick. August 1O.-The
coroner's jury at South Berwick has con-
cluded its deliberations over the body
found near Ritt's brickyard in Eliot, July
%, and last night returned the verdict.
They found that they could not identify
the body, or determine the manner of
death-that they did not know who the
unfortunate man was, or when and where
he came to his death. Coroner Ham of
South Berwick has put in lots of hard
work and has taken an interest in the
case, trying to ferret out the mystery.
There has been no reliable clew thus far
to prove anything about the death.

DON'T GO TO KLoNDYKE.
Official Advice To That Effect From In.
terror Department..

Washington, August 1O.-Secretary
Bliss has taken coguizance of the rush
to the,Klondike gold fields and Alaska,
and has issued the following warning to
the general public:
To whom it may concern: In view of
information received at this department,
that 5000 persons with 1000 tons of bag
gage and freight are now waiting at the
entrance to White Pass in Alaska for
an opportunity to cross the mountains
to the Yukon river and that many more
are preparing to join them, I deem 1t
proper to call the attention of all who
contemplate making that trip to the ex-
posure, privation, suffering and danger
incident thereto at this advanced period
of the season, even if they should succeed
in crossing the mountains. To reach
Dawson City over the pass, 700 miles of
difficult navigation of the Yukon river
without adequate means of Transports
tion, will still be before them, and it is
doubtful if the journey can be completed
before the river is closed by ice.
D am moved to drawspublic notice to
these conditions by the gravity of the
possible consequences to people detained
in the mountainous wilderness during
five or six NOR tbs of an Arctic winter,
where no relief can reach them, however
great the need.
