nearly every one Of the 80 inmates. slhe
building is calculated to properly accom-
modate $50 persons, 2o9 fewer than arc
now there. As Il result Of this over
crowdng ii was impossible TO isolate NJ
inmates as is intended. Therefore they
were enabled 10 accomplish II concerted
effort TO escape. and the conspiracy has
been Matching for several weeks.
Owing To The overcrowlcd condition Of
the Mattcawan wards it was planned T.
remove about 300 Of the inmates to the
prison at Dannemora. Every effort wa.
made to keep secret this plan until after
election day, when it was intended tc
make tho transfer. But in some way the
news became known, and as the inmates
| did not desire to be removed farther from
| New York city. whore the friends and
relatives of many of them live, the plan
for escape was framed.
Superintendent Allison says that he
does not see how any of his subordinate,
are to be blamed for the escape, and
there is no intention ON his part Of dlsci

Human Hearts Tonight.

Have you seen "Human Hearts?' II
not do not miss your opportunity to wit
ness play that never fails to hold an
audience. Everywhere it is spoken OF
as possessing great power to move and to
entertain. The varied characters chosen
by the autnor to reveal his inten-
tion are woven into action that in itself
has artistic variety and is aiivs with such
elements as rivet the attention.
The play is clean, clear and clever, and
the fact that it is in the fourth season
warrants the statement that it has last
ing power, which can be said of few
dramas. The secret of this lies in the
simplicity, truthfulness ana varied
human interest. Human Hearts" comes

scuuent speeches lie sought to int1ane
the poor against the rich by artful ap-
peals to their envy and other bad pas
slons, and stated that the Republican
partys policy was such MS to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer and
that the Republican party cared only
for the rich people.
Excited by such talk as this from
Mr.. Bryan and some of the other lead
ers close to him in the management of
| the Democratic campaign the Demo-
cratic rank and file have been guilty of
various violent and lawless actions,
and the tendency in that direction on

| rate.
At Victor, Colo, short time ago, Gov
ernor Roosevelt and his company Of
Republican speakers were assaulted by
| q gang of Democratic miners with
| clubs and other weapons. Governor
Roosevelt and several others were
struck and considerably injured.
At Chicago Governor Roosevelt was
shamefully assaulted and abused with
| vile language by another gang Of Bry-
| antics in front of church where he
had just attended service on Sunday

Commenting on these proceedings,
Senator Scott of West Virginia said re-
Gently: "The Bryanitc Democracy has
adopted this policy of disorder and
lawless violence because in it remains
their only chance. Their arguments
have long since been riddled through
and through, and their only remaining
resource is literally to raise the devil
of riot and mob law in the community,
hoping by that means to terrorize the
peaceable and respectable citizens and
in this way TO carry New York city and
