The cell accommodations at the Provi-
dence county jail are to be the subject OF
immediate discussion. according TO To-
cal luminary.
The assertion has been made that there
has been so great an increase Of crime In
this city In recent years that the accom-
modations provided for the Involuntary
exile Of certain classes OF people have
proved TO be wholly inadequate.
This is a subject worthy of considerable
| reflection. II should not be lightly dis
missed because IL is said that the reason
why there are not jails enough Is that
the great increase of vice In Providence
compels officials 10 request more prison
accommoda tions.
There are 252 cells in the prison and
Jail wings at howard, and I'm lne Jail an
mex. which is a big open dormitory. hunks
are provided for 100 short-term men.
In the state prison wing there were to-
day 1876 prisoners occupying l2s cells.
In the jail wing there are l26 cells. and
these, with the 100 hunks, We're accommo-
dating 256 men. Thirty-three women. TO
whom jail sentences had been given, were
at the State Workhouse.
The men waiting trial are kept on the
jail side, and as rule, they number 10
per cent. of the prison and jail popula-
ton.
RELEASED FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR.
The jail and annex would be more
crowded now were II not that recently the
board OF state charities and corrections
and the probation officials weeded out the
best behaved OF the short term men and
let them Off without payment OF costs.
This was an economical measure. and IL
greatly relieved the crowded condition of
the cells
The averment that there has been a
great increase OF vice In this city ma be
true. 1t is made by the sponsor for NUM-
cipal reform and the godmother OF the
Democratic administration which came
in with Mayor Edwin ID. McGuinness.

THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN.

Once year, at the close of every
melon and fruit season, says the
Albany Herald, the growers pub
icIy resolved to take steps, before
another season, looking to arrange
ments whereby their product viii be
properly distributed and disposed of by
honest hands, but the plans suggested
have, heretofore, always ended as they
began-in talk. Is this old order of
things to be repeated again this year
and next? Is procrastlnation again to
kill a movement which, if followed out
intell1gently, would be worth thousands
of dollars to the growers and to their
section? It looks very much that way
now.

RICHEST TRUST IN THE WORLD

The Standard Oil company, the gi-
gantic oil trust, declared dividend of
IS per cent. IS, 900, 900 payable to stock
holders of record on September Is next
Thus far in the good year of 19OO-the
fourth year Of Mckinley and prosperity
for the trusts-the Standard Oil COM
panY has declared three dividends;
One in March-20 per cent.
One in June-10 per cent.
One in September per cent.
That is to say, by September 16 next,
the Standard Oil company, the richest
most powerful trust on earth, will
have divided S38, 900, 600 in this one
year between John D. Rockefeller,
William Rockefeller, his brother, its
president, and the comparatively few
men who own its stock.
1t is safe to predict that the Stand
ard Oil company's fourth quarterly
dividend this year on its ca pital stock
of 800, OOG, 600, will be 10 per cent, $40, :
600, 900, so that in 365 days s48, 900, 900
will be distributed among the Stand
ard Oil company's stockholders.
That IS, the Standard Oil Company is
making s181, sos day, or SIS, 479 an
hour.
The annual report of the comptroller
of the Currency proves that in 1899
the dividends of all the national banks
in the United States were SAG, SOL, SOP.
The Standard Oil will pay in diYi-
dends this year S48, 900, 600.
John D. Rockefeller owns 81 per
cent of the capital stock of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey. This
is merely the parent corporation of the
innumerable subsidiary companies
which compose the trust. Each of
these companies makes its own profits
and the trust gets its share from the
ownership of stock in them.
The trust owns 81 per cent of the
stock of all these subsidiary companies
and it has made S88, 600, 900 so far this
year out of their ownership. The re-
naming 40 per cent of the stock of the
subsidiary companies is owned bv
John D. Rockefeller outright, IN add
ton to his 81 per cent interest in the
parent corporation.
His share of the dividends SO far de-
clared this year By the parent trust,
is 81, $50, 900. His per cent share OF
the profits of the subsidiary companies
is $50, $40, 600, making in all $48, 300, DOC
that he has received so far this year
from his interests in oil,
Nevertheless, he has dyspepsia and
lives chiefly on crackers and milk.
