New jersey Prisoner VINO Preferred

ArSNeAA ~ A18NfNf-S "
OF the PAS prisoners in the New
Jersey state penitentiary at Trenton
there is one who will not work, nor
can he be compelled to work. HE'S
a man of intelligence and has been
put to different kinds of work, but he
will not raise q hand, so the officials
and keepers have given up the idea
of making him toll. BE has the run
of the prison and can do pretty much
as he chooses.
BE was sent up from one Of the
lower counties of New jersey for for
gerry. On his arrival at the prison he
was put to work at keeping books, but
he simply "laid down" as the saying
goes. He was told he must work, but
he wouldn't, so he was placed in the
dungeon.
At the end of three days he was
brought out and put back to his desk.
There he sat.
Again he went back into the dun
geon and was fed on bread and water
for four days. This time it was
thought he had been cured. But he
wasn't. He was brought out once
more and put into the shoe depart
ment. He still refused TO toll. The
keepers now began to get angry, and
resorted to the last method applied to
stubborn prisoners. In one section Of
the penitentiary is big tank about
seven feet deep. A prisoner who per-
sists in violating the rules ofthe peni-
Tertiary is placed in the center of the
tank and his feet are strapped to the
bottom. The water is then turned on
gradually, and, to prevent it from go
ing over the prisoners head, he is ex-
pected to pump and keep on pumping
or run the risk of finding himself over
his head.
But this prisoner wasn't in the
pumping business. He was strapped
in the tank and the water turned on.
Gradually it began to get higher.
Several prison-keepers looked on, one
laughingly rcmarking that whenever
worked before, he would now. The
water got up to the prisoners chin,
but he wouldn't grasp the pump
handle. lie simply went to the bot
tom, and the keepers had to rescue
him TO prevent drowning. Since then
the case has been given up as u bad
job. The prisoner does not work.

MORTALITY IN THE ARMY.

World.

Soldiertng the Safest Profession In the
world.
AS it is by no means impossible
that all ablebodied Englishmen may
have, in the near future, to become de-
Tenders Of their country, it is reassur-
ing to learn, on the authority of sta
!isticians, that soldering is about the
Least dangerous profession in the
world.
Protestant clergymen are popular
" supposed to be the best male elves"
going. But they die at a rate of nearly
II per thousand each year, while the
British army shuffies off this mortal
coil at rate oflcss than FIVE per thou
sand. Even ladies' maids, who have
usually life of great comfort and lit
tie work, die faster than this, depart
ing this life at the rate Of eight per
thousand.
1t might well be supposed TINT the
troops who do as much fighting as the
British soldiers abroad would be car
ried off in large numbers. This was
true in the past, when the conditions
favored disease, but in these days war
is by no means as dangerous. For in
stance, in all our wars of the past 90
years the death rate on the battlefield
has been only Is per thousand per
annum.
Now solicitors cannot be said to be
engaged in very risky work, yet they
depart hence at the rate of 16 per
thousand per annum. Roman Catho-
lie priests die at the rate of is per
thousand, and cabmen at the rate of
26 per thousand. Your chances Of
death, then, if You become a cabman,
are five times as great You join the
army at home, and nearly twice as
great as if You form part of the fight
ing forces in India or Africa. And
there are scores Of trades-such as
lead working, glass-blowing, match
making, public-house keeping, ETC.

A TOMBSTONE TRAGEDY.
Kingston-on-Thames Has Monument
Which Commemorate No One.


Kingston-on-Thames is a town full
of wonderful curiosities. Its latest
acquisition is a tombstone in search of
some one to commemorate. The
monument is ready and wiling
to record the virtues of anyone who
will oblige it by becoming its sub
terranean tenant. At the last meet
ing Of the local burial board the sub
ject of this peripatetic tombstone was
gravely discussed by themembers. 1t
appears that the sepulchral embel-
hshment was originally placed over
the last resting place of married
woman by her sister, and a second
wife of the same husband was subse-
quently placed by her side. There
upon the sister of the first spouse re-
moved the monument to q part of the
cemetery where she had purchased o
tomb, but which, happily, is still UNI
tenanted, and declined toallow it to be
restored to its properplace. The oc-
cupants Of that spot are consequently
deprived of the rightful record of
their virtues, while the tombstone use
lessly marks grave which contains
no body. The clerk expressed the
opinion that family feud was at the
bottom of the whole business. One
member said that what he objected to
was the inscription beginning "Here
lieth." As nobody was underneath,
some people might attach o wrong
meaning to theverb, and the truthful-
ness of the community be under
mined. To avoid such catastrophe,
it was resolved to request the sister
either to kindly arrange to have some
one inferred underneath the stone
with promptitude and dispatch or re-
store it TO its original position.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

The news of the death of the Very
Rev. William Corby, which occurred
at NOtre Dame, Ind, on the 28th
most regret and grief to his many
acquaintance in Watertown, where
he was SO kindly remembered as a
true Christian gentleman who impart-
ed his goodly Offices to one and all
alike. Father Corby was stationed
here in 1870 as pastor of st. Bernard's
Catholic church, in which charge he
continued until 1886. During his
passionate the elegant church edifce
which now adOrns West Main street
was reared at a cost of 800, 000 1t
stands as lasting monument to Father
Corby's energy and to the glory of the
Almighty. Upon leaving ST.. Ber-
nard's, Father Corby assumed duties
in the university at Notre Dame,
where he had since remained. He was
at the head of the order of the Holy
Cross in this country, and was one of
the most prominent prelates of the
Catholic church.
tober 2, 1888. Twenty years later he
took up studies at.Notre Dame univer-
sity and subsequently became an in
structor there. He was ordained a
priestin 1860. Father Corby was one of
seven instructors of Notre Dame who
/ joined the Union army in the war Of
the rebellion. His record in this con-
nectiOn shines as brilliantly as that Of
his priesthood. He was chaplain of
the famous Irish brigade and saw
three years of hard service in the
campaigns of the Army of the Poto-
mac. His absolution to the troops
just before the battle of Gettysburg
has gone down into history as a
most patriotic incident, and there is
no doubt that his inspiring and loving
words spurred on the soldiers to
bravery and galiantry in that famous
conflict. Ever since the war Father
! Corby took an active interest in the
veterans and his work among them
was on a par with his services as an

DIED.

At her home in Omaha, Neb., on
the morning of Tuesday, December
%, 1897, Mrs. Elizabeth Stanton
Woolworth, aged 81 years. The an
nouncement of the death of Mrs. Wool
worth will convey a message of sorrow
to many of our townspeCple, who will
recall in her Miss Elizabeth Butterfeld,
who for many years was a resident
among us, and who by her rare quail
ties of mind and heart and the excel
lence of consistent, wOmanly,
Christian character endeared herself
to a large circle of friends, who realize
a sense of personal loss in her death.
Previous to the year 1868, when she
removed to Omaha, she was engaged
in musical work in our city and filled
with fidelity and skill the position Of
organist of ST. Paul's Episcopal
church, of which denomination she
was lifelong and devout commune
can't.
Mrs. Frank Graeszel died Sunday at
the home of her mother, Mrs. Kugath.
in Milford, Of consumption, aged 25
years. Her husband, to whom she
was married about a year ago, died of
the same disease few months since.
The funeral occurs this afternoon.
The remains of daughter of our
former townsman, Philip Heinrichs,
will be brought here to-day for inter-
ment. The young lady died at the
present home of the family, Miladore,
Wood county, Monday. She was about
20 years old.

day, aged 50 years. His widow sur

Fir. Stones Opinion,

The Sunday Sentinel printed large
number of opinions as to business
prospects for the ensuing year, the
general sense of which was that a
| substantial improvement is to come.
| Among the prominent business men
| quoted was our tOwnsman, Hon, Jesse
| Stone, who had the following to say:
!. 1t is perfectly safe to conclude that the i'm
| proved business conditions have come to stay.
In fact, the improvement has hardly begun. 1t
has been in progress only a few months, but
has almost wrought a complete change in con-
ditions throughout the country The improve
ment thus far noticea Die will not only continue
but will increase in volume and vigor until
every industry will be in full blast, in 1882
The country has not yet gotten rid of the sur
plus foreign supplies rushed in under free
trade. But the partial exhaustion of those
supplies has made room for some Of the pro-
ducts of American labor, as can be seen by the
handsomely increased volume of employment
This Will increase as the forelgn-made supplies
diminish, and American labor will receive the
benefit.
The only danger ahead which I can see is
possible shortage in our own supply of wheat
before another harvest. Not in many years has
there been such an active movement of wheat
as since the last harvest The crop has moved
straight ahead, and largely out of the country
since it began to leave the farmers hands The
time has not been in the history of wheat ele-
vators in the Northwest when their owners
nave pa1Q so 11Utl0 interest on money to move
the crops of year from producers practically
to consumers hands. Instead of having to
store wheat and pay interest on their money to
carry it, they have received their money back
almost as fast they could count it, and the
elevators of the wheat country, usually full at
this time of the year, are empty. The supply
has gone forward and the money for it is in
hand to help increase the volume of business
activity. 1t is not wholly improbable that wheat
which has already moved east from primary
markets will have to be brought back to supply
seed and bread before another harvest. There
is practically no surplus wheat in the farmers
hands. 1t looks as though Phil. Armour's pre-
diction of 81 % wheat would be realized. But
if this condition comes it will only intensity
redistribution of money and business activity.
In any event the business activity of the last
few months will continue and the business of
1898 will be as good throughout it has been
during the last few months. Like a healthy
child, well fed and cared for, it will keep grow
ing. Coming years will constitute period of
activity among American manufacturers the
equal of which they have never yet seen. That
means good times for labor, and when Ameri-
can labor is well employed and well paid no
power on earth can stop business activity in
this country. [ also believe it perfectly safe to
predict that the new tariff law, when given a
fair opportunity, will yield all the revenue the
government Will need.
