Since the departure of Mrs. Gombrig
last week; Mrs. Isay has undertaken
the charge of two domestic establish
ments, spending part of her time at
her home in Silver City aud the balance
looking after Mrs. Gombrigs home
here. She would be welcome in Della
mar all the time.
The Colorado Supreme Court has
declared the Eight Hour Law, passed
by the last session of the legislature,
unconstitutional Some of the mining
and milling companies which complied
with its conditions from the date it
went into effect, have found the eight
hour system SO satisfactory that they
will continue it. The big smelter trust,
however, will not look upon it that way.
Even those most DESTROYS of seeing a
reign of law and order established in
the Cmur d'Alenes and who approve of
the course pursued by the state author
tiles to suppress the lawlessness which
has so long dominated the mining in
dustry in that district, are disguised
with the manifestly unfair manner in
which the proceedings of the trial now
in progress is being reported by the
leading daily paper in Idaho. Its COM
ments upon the character of the wit
nesses and the evidence given by them
is entirely unnecessary.
Boise now needs only s697 400 to in
sure her becoming a railroad town.
She has had offers from the Oregon
Short Line and from Kunnel Dewey
which a committee has figured up and
reported upon, and 100000 is found to
be all that will be required to bring
that beautiful city out Of its isolation.
Elk Mayor Alexander, it is known, will
put up $500 of that amount and well
known and wealthy banker of that city
can always be counted upon for con-
tribution of 500 every time there is
scheme proposed to boom the city,
consequently they are now only the
mere bagatelle of $697, 400 short.

submitted a certificate from a physician

Captain Waring said he had been at Ben

THE CUBAN PRISONS
Charlton 8. Lewis Report ON Theu
to Secretary ROot.

Charlton 8. Lewis Report ON Then
to Secretary Root.
Charlton. T. Lewis. President Of the New
York Prison Association, has made a re-
port to the Secretary Of War upon tn,
abuses which exist in the prison system o.
Cuba and in the application of the pena
laws Of the island
| He went to Cuba to examine into these
abuses on-behaf of the various prison as
sociations OF the United States. and that
he found them to be Of a fragrant character
is evident. for he calls the Cubans prisons
hell upon earth" and he holds the Ameri-
can Government responsible for allowing
them to flourishj SO long after the islands
| emancipation from Spain. "a truthful de-
scription of these prisons" he says, would
arouse universal indignation, which would
probably be misdirected.
Nothing but prompt interference by the
War Department can stop the intolerable
cruelty and injustice which now constitute
national disgraceN.
First, as to their sanitary condition, Mr..
Lewis complaint that the prisons are over
crowded. that the prisoners get no change
Of clothing; no blankets, no beds; hundreds
sleep on bare stones, and the only provision
against filth and vermin is sprinkling with
disinfectants
AS to the moral aspect, he declares that
men and boys, hardened criminals and
mere suspects, are "herded together in ab-
solute idleness-s and unrestricted inter-
course"
From this woeful condition of the prisons
themselves Mr.. Lewis passes to the appli
cation of the penal laws, and finds it nee
essary to use equally strong and condemna-
tory language. Judges OF first instance"
investigate the charge against each pris-
oner.
THE code requires them to make a re-
port to the court within two months. but
20 regard is paid to the limit says Mr..
Lewis. In one prison he found three pris-
oners who had been awaiting a trial since
November, 1895. and to wait year is not
uncommon II the prisoner has no money to
expedite matters. he says.
In the Havana Carcel which Mr.. Lewis
characterizes as worse than the Newgate
Of John Howard" he found on December
last twenty-five American citizens some Of
whom had been there for over five months.
vainly begging a hearing. The general
opinion among CIbans Is that corruption
honeycombs the entire court system, and
rank disparity in the punishment meted
out is an everyday occurrence, it is de-
clared Mr.. Lewis found some convicts
serving terms of twelve years for murder
and others sentenced for forty years or for
life on a charge OF speaking insolently to
an officer.
Mr.. Lewis thinks a commission consist
ing entirely Of Americans. or with work
ing majority OF Americans. should be ap-
pointed TO overhaul the entire system, and
should have authority to remit the SEN
tences Of convicts now serving terms which
are cruel or excessive.

NOT IN FEAR OF INVASION.
Reported Fenian Plans Cause Little
Concern I'm Canada

Concern I'm Canada
TORONTO. Ontario. Dec 27.-Stories
from Washington and other points in the
United States of an alleged Fenian plan to
invade Canada were displayed prominently
in Canadian papers yesterday. Leading
military men attach little credence to the
stories. ---.
It was reported here that in place OF
sending LOCO men in the second contingent
the government would send 1900 men to
South Africa. and that the whole force
would leave Canada by January 21. Mill
tary men point out that the departure OF
1900 men will not materially affect the
defensive power Of Canada. The total mil
itary strength of Canada is about $4,000
officers. commissioned officers. and
men. The militia is splendidly equipped,
and practically ready for service in the
field at any time II the Fenians attempted
TO cross the ST. Claire River at Detroit they
would be met by a powerful artillery and
battery force. the most prominent arm Of
that branch Of the militia being in west
ern Ontario whence they could in few
hours reach the ST. Claire River.
Authorities spoken TO about the matter
give no credit to the stories They say
the relations between the United States and
Great Britain are altogether different from
what they were in 1866; that 1t would b
impossible for any force TO mass in the
United States to attack Canada without the
knowledge of the authorities there, and
that the United States Government would
never allow preparations at this time for
such an invasion as proposed.

Expert Testimony.

The recent developments at the Molineux
trial suggest some interesting reflections
regarding expert testimony. We have
heard a great deal of such testimony in re-
cent murder trials, and the situation seems
to be about this: Cne expert testifes that
according TO his knowledge of the laws of
physics. or chemistry. or handwriting, or
palmistry, the prisoner is individually
guilty. Another expert, hired by the de-
fence. testifies that according to his
knowledge OF the same sciences, there is
absolute proof of the prisoners innocence.
The effect on the minds Of the jury is, ac-
cording to the laws of mathematics
merely zero. 1t is as simple as an alge-
braic equation; represents the testimony
of one expert, y the testimony of another:
Z is positive, y negative; plus equals
the result on the mind of the jury; so far
as the average juryman can see and
are equal; plus y, therefore, equals
nothing at all.
There is also a chance that one side or
the other will hire two experts to its op-
ponent's one; in which case it will look a.
having the most money. The result of the
whole tangie will probably be a confirmed
distrust in any sort Of expert testimony on
the part of the juryman. 1t must be re.
membered that the average greengrocer.
drug clerk. or mechanic does not know
much about science. This is not to his dis
credit at all, for no nm can learn dozen
