er showed himself quite civilized
joker the other day in the United
States court. He was on the stand in
a hotly contested case, the Attorney
D. Il. Bailey, of Sioux Falls, was after
him in the most approved fashion Of
cross-examination. Finally, after ap.
parently frightening thc Indian with
the awful consequences which would
follow the slightest deviation from the
truth, Mr.. Bailey took his most por.
tentious tone and solemn manner and
demanded:
"Now, sir, I want You to tell me the
exact truth, without any shutting or
evasion. 1 want you to look me
square in the eye and tell me now you
get your living. sir"
The Indian looked straight at Mr..
Bailey, and, with that imperturbable
air familiar to all acquainted with the
red men, simply said, Eat"
The courtroom roared, even Judge
Garland smiled, and Mr. Bailey let the

Advantages or Porto Rico.

Owing to the large number Of in
Iuirics that have been received by the
members of the insular commission
since their recent return from Porto
Rico, Gen. Robert =. Kennedy has
prepared a statement as to the re-
sources and conditions in Porto Rico,
which he thinks will cover the points
upon which the greatest interest has
been manifested. Concerning the
people themselves. Gen. Kennedy
says:
There can scarcely be found upon
the globe more hospitable and warm
hearted people than those of Porto
Rico. They are in full sympathy
with American institutions. There is
great deal Of poverty in the island,
as it is understood in the United
States, but the stories of starvation
upon the island arc baseless fabrica-
tions.
While the richer classes live we'll in
beautifully appointed homes and, for
the most part, have been abroad, so
that they speak English, the percent
age of illiteracy among the poorer
classes is very high, reaching 80 per
cent.
AS to the agricultural opportunities,
| should say that not one-fourth of the
lands in the island are now unculti-
waited, but thousands Of acres remain
to be given over to 'husbandry. Lands
are held at good griccs, owing to the
promise Of an influx Of people from
the United States. Still, there is op-
portunity for many thousands of per-
sons who really wish to engage in ag-
riculture on the islands. That there
are great opportunities in Porto Rico
IS unquesticnable. To young men de-
string to seek permanent homes and
who have good stock Of energy and
enterprise Porto Rico offers great in
ducements. But 1 would discourage
the simple adventurer who expects to
reap quick and unearned reward.
Sugar and coffee both require a large
outlay in lands, material and improve
ments. The promise of both of these,
however, is unequalled anywhere else
in the world.
The opportunities for stock raising,
it appears to me, are superior to those
in almost any part of the United
States, and this without disparage-
ment to our own cattle country.
The climate of the island, in my cx-
pericnce, and from what I can gather
of it from records, official and other
| wise, is all that could be desired. 1t
is warm in winter and cool in summer,
and even the densely populated city
Of San Juan is remarkably healthy
place. look forward to the time not
far distant when Porto Rico will be
not only the tropic garden spot in the
United States, but one Of the most
! popular winter resorts.

A Good Hot Weather Item.

Something new in trusts is the liquid
air trust, for which articles of incorpo-
ration have been filed in Delaware on
a capital of slO,OOO,OOO. Few Of US
had supposed that tho liquid air busi-
ness had reached that stage. It is
only step to an air trust that shall
control the atmosphere and rent air
meters to 60 with every pair of lungs.
The liquid air chaps, it may be added,
propose to supplant the ice dealers.
One gallon Of the liquid air is equal
to ton of ice, one tou will keep a

corporation. a gallon or two Of the

The New Tonlbs.

The perfection Of prison arrange
mcnt has been reached in the Tombs.
New York city'S famous central iail.
While the Tombs will have the out
ward appearance Of being nine stories
nigh 1t really consists OF but three
stories. The two main floors, where
the cells arc located, are very tall,
comprising four tiers Of cells each.
The prison Off :es will be on the
ground floor. The top floor will be
used as recreation ground for the
prisoners
The cells are novel features of the
structure. Nothing like them has
ever before been introduced in prison.
There are $50 cells, and each will
cost about $1,000. Each will be 8
feet deep by feet and 3 inches wide.
and will be equipped with steel, lat
ticc bottomcd folding bunk, steel
folding table and shelf hinged to the
wall, wash basin and a toilet.
The cell tier structure will be of
burglar proof steel, and the cells will
be reinforced with four ply chrome
tool proof steel plate. On top of the
floor plate will be a finished floor of 2
inch polished bluestonc.
Through the rear Of each cell will be
pecp-hole arrangement whereby the
keeper may sec all that the prisoner is
doing, while the prisoner cannot sec
the keeper.
This inspection hole on the outside
is only about an inch and half wide,
but it widens gradually inward, until
at its end it is 18 inches in diameter,
fiaring like the bell Of trumpet.
BY this arrangement the keeper
commands view of the entire cell
interior, except tso corners always in
view Of the watchman in front of the
| cell.
Running along each tier is a utility
corridor, used primarily for the piping,
ventilation and electric wiring. Along
this corridor also the keepers pace to
watch the prisoners through the peep
holes. The steel floor is covered with
rubber mating, to deaden the sound
Of their approach.
Each cell is equipped with an cleo
tric light, turned ON from the outside.
The cell lockin. arrangement is new.
Each bolt is operated by lever at the
end of the tier. Every door in the
tier may be locked or unlocked stimuli
tancously, or any number of the locks
may be operated at once. If, when
the prisoners are to be taken out for
exercise. there are some who cannot
be let out, the lock on their cell doors
is secured by key, so that it will not
unlock at the turn Of the lever. All
locks are on the outside of the cell
doors. where they cannot be tampered
with by the prisoners.
At each end of each tier of cells is
q hot and cold water shower bath for
the prisoners.
Special attention has been paid to
heating and ventilation. Heretofore
the trouble with prisons having sew
eral tiers of cells has been that often
the Top cells would be not while she
lower ones would be cold. The top
cells would also catch the greater part
OF the foul air. These difficulties
have been overcome in the new Tombs
by an elaborate system of powerful
heating and ventilating blasts
