HINT TO COURTS.
Longer Terms Necessary n State Prison
is To he Self Supporting.

Augusta, December 28.-According to
Captain Hillman smith, warden of the
Maine State prison at Thomaston, 1t is
the short-tsrm men that make business
so Improbable at the penifentiary. He
says that more than two birds OF the
men who come under Is care . sent
encsd to wear tle stripsd suits hat one,
two or three years, and that bsfore they
have learned to make themselves worth
their keep they ara out ana away.
The carriage department shows q gain
of yl426. So; the harness department of
s.337 AZ; the broom department S-00I 81 !;
the furniture department Sl69 2s.
Or the wears work the inspectors say :;
Not quite so many goods have been
manufactured in the different depart
ments as last year, owing 20 the fact
that the daily average number of oonvicts
has been 81 less While the gains from
these departments have been fair, far bat
ter results would have besu attained mad
there been sufficient funds to enable the
management to conduct affairs on pusi-
ness principles.
The inspectors report on county jails
states that conditions In these institu-
lions are steadily improving, greater
attention being paid to sanitation. etc.
The escapes in Auburn, Aroostook,
Ellsworth, South Paris, Bangor and Al.
fred are attributed TO the carelessness of
jail officials in putting too much trust In
their prisoners, and greater vigilance Is
recommended.
Rev. q. A. Plumer, the chaplain, re-
ports as follows; ''Duriny the year IS

Maine state prison, and one to this insaL 9

THE STANDING.
SUED A WHOLE coMMUNITY.

Indianapolis, Ind, December 2S.-D.
A. Jennings of Columbus, Ohio, has
filed suit in the United States court
against about 20 citizens, men aud wo-
men of Washington county, Indiana. for
s2O0.O00 damages. He claims they
whitecapped him on January 30, 1900,
and prosecuted him and his family until
they we're forced to leave the state. Jen-
nings says he ran Newspaper in Salem,
in which he had $4,000 invested. He
claims the people of the county are SO
intermarried that they control all the
social, religious and political institu-
tons. They undertook. he alleges, to
control the policy of his paper and he
opposed them. False charges were made
against him in ths1ocal courts, he says,
and the court costs alone took every
dollar he had. The women, he says,
undertook to get his wife to join in the
conspiracy against him.

THE POLO STANDING.

Figures Revised by Secretary Weber
The state papers do Dot agree as to the
standing of the Maine polo teams and
Secretary Weber has prepared a cor
rected standing from the official records.
The figures below are taken from
Secretary Webber's statement. The
race between the five teams is now
remarkably close there being just two
games difference between the leaders
and the tailenders. 1t would be possible
for Portland or Lewiston to go from
last place to first in single week.
