The new electric appliance,
description of which recently ap-
peared in these columns, paid for
itself on Monday and through it's
adoption in the shops of this in
stitution we have spared another
life. While one of the oilers was
poised high on ladder lubricat-
ing the shafts overhead, lis over
alls in some manner became at
tached to the belt and up he rose
feet first. Reaching out to save
himself his shirt sleeve also be-
came fastened. The guard, catch
ing sight of the distress, instantly
smashed the glass face of the.
electric appliance and turned on
the alarm to the engineer who in
all promptness brought the engine
to stop in less than a minute.
The moment motive power was
cut off, the oilers weight caused
the belt to switch off the pully, as
the belt when running at reduced
speed loses its tension and will
easily slide. 1t was a miraculous
escape and without the new alarm
this man would surely have been
crushed to death. AS it happened
the oiler had an arm broken and
the right side of his body from
hip to shoulder painfully ex-
coriated, and when help reached
him was SO tightly fastened to
the machinery overhead that it
took several assistants fully
two minutes to climb a ladder and
cut him loose. To the prompt
action Of Guard Bloom and Mac,
the engineer, also, is much credit
due.

That the inmates of this institu-
ton enjoyed services of song must
have been evident to every member
of Sundays congregation. The
chapel was taxed to almost it's full
seating capacity and the spirit and
vim with which the congregation
joined in the songs was certainly
pleasing. Thirteen vocal numbers
were given. of which seven were by
the congregation, three by the
choir, one by the quartette and
two by our soloists. Every song
was rendered in a highly pleasing
manner. The consensus Of opin-
ion is that the service was one of
the most enjoyable held for some
time. About sixty visitors from
the city were in attendance.

James, who with both arms
disabled and in a helpless con-
dition, apparently doomed to con-
slant idleness in Fairweather park,
has finally found something to
busy himself and occupy his mind.
With a long stick cuspidated at
one end he st1olls up and down
the greenhouses and by a short
wrist movement the extent of
his arm control pierces one dead
leaf at a time from underneath
the plants and carries it to a small
box.

Among our visitors the past

spective journals.

Through the courtesy of Will
liam E. Easton of the Saltwater

Of the penitentiary, a representa-
tive of this paper was taken
through the various departments
of this model institution yesterday.
Persons who have visited this and
the St. Cloud prison, cam It help
but be impressed by seeing many
grayhaired men in the former,
while in the latter only young
criminals are found. The genial
captain-though busy man-led
the way into every corner Of the

While by no means as modern as
the reformatory the Saltwater
prison is in keeping with our
penal institution in cleanliness,

crowded closely with the big build
ings, and one cannot help but
wonder where the next structure
will be placed when necessity de-
mands it. The Younger boys
''boys'' who occupy the front row
at the theatre, were seen, and
while showing their advancing
years and long confinement, have
those sharp eyes that fairly pierce
one at a glance. Both are, of
course, model prisoners, one being
in the library and the other in the
hospital. The prison now has ap-
proximately $50 prisoners, Of
which but three are females.

The large range which for many
