ACCOMMODATIONS LACKING
Report by Intendant stOutenburgh Corcsrn-
ing the Workhouse.
Appeal Made Against Sentencing Boys
to the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Upon the Floors.

In a report submitted by him today to the
District Commissioners, Mr.. w. H. Stouten-
burgh, intendant of the Washington Asy-
lum, stated that 10 out of a total of 400
prisoners carried on the rolls Of the work.
house were without sleeping accommoda-
tiOns. Lack of hunks and space, he says,
compels these prisoners to sleep on the
cold, hard floors. Ten of the unaccomno-
dated prisoners are colored youths rot yet
fourteen years of age, committed to the
workhouse on charges of disorderly as
sembly and sentenced to from thirty to
sixty days each.
Mr.. Stoutenburgh, speaking of the i'm
proper accommodation of these boys, says
that contact with older and more ex-
perienced criminals tends to degenerate
them and ruin them morally and physical
ly, and he suggests that no more youths
under sixteen years of age be sent to the
workhouSe.
Text of the Report.
The report of Mr.. Stoutenburgh is as fol-
lows:
THE number of male prisoners carried
on the rolls of the institution today is 2O9
white men and 200 colored men, making
total of 400 prisoners. They are located, as
far as sleeping accommodations are con-
cerned, as follows: One hundred and eight
IN hunks, Jos colOred men in hunks, 30 col
ored men doubled in hunks, making a total
of 299 provided with sleeping accommoda-
tons, and leaving 40 to be provided for
OF this number three white and one coll
ored are in the hospital, sick; three white
men are on detail at the almshouse and one
colored man is in the almshouse by request
OF the court, l9aving 62 white and 40 col
ored men with beds only on the fioors Of
TINS number 10 are colored boys fourteen
years OF age and Under committed on
charges of disorderly assembly and SEN
tened TO from thirty to sixty days each.
Difficult Problem.
These boys are one of the most difficult
problems with which 1 have to deal. Every
sentiment and consideration for the refor-
nation and betterment of these boys, NOR
ally and physically, is against their COM
ing in contact and association with the
older and hardened inmates of this work
mouse, or any other prison.
L have given you the above details, that
you may see how utterly impossible it is
Tor me TO keep these boys separated from
the older inmates, and / earnestly beg of
your honorable board that such action be
taken as Will remove those under sixteen
years OF age, and to prevent their sentenc-
ing 10 the workhouse in the future Their
parents, the board of children's guardians.
the industrial school, or the reform school
for boys would seem to be the proper
agencies to correct the evil tendencies and
secure the reformation of boys under six
teen years of age. Surely the workhouse
is no fit place for them.''

It is a common thing for the individual
who has no cash, or other personal OF
real property, to figure that he has nc
capital; in other words that he is worth
nothing. This is mistake. The man
who has health and who has job is
worth good fair capital. The average
rate OF interest OH money in this country
is about s per cent. A piece of property
that will yield per cent over and above
taxes and insurance is rafting good
piece of property. On the same basis the
man who can earn $500 year is worth
$4,000. The man who can earn 81, 600
is worth $4,000. The individual who
can earn $1,000 is worth $4,000 to his
family. He is really quite valuable
piece of property and his wife should watch
over him with tender and solicitous
care. As financial proposition she can't
afford to lose him. Many wives. perhaps,
do not realize the importance Of caring
for their husbands until it is too late.
Many thoughtless wives allow their hus'
bands to OK pose themselves by getting up
and building fires in the chill Of the win
tor morning. Many wives permit their
husbands to take chances on strainine
their backs carrying in buckets Of coal OF
pals of water. Husbands have no doubt
been hurried into the saccharine subse'
auently on account Of exposure and
neglect. Remember, ladies, that man
who can earn 81 900 year lie valuable
piece of property. Care for him tenderly.
