GUARDS SUFFER
DURING WINTER
Prisoners Keep Warm While
Officers ShiVer
Sewing Circle ia ROrkhOuSe Has
Many Charms for LODg-term
Prisoners

Life at the county workhouse. at
Greenbank, is not so pleasant to the
keepers. If the statement of one of the
number is 10 be believed Said one
yesterday.
People i'm discussing the worlShouse
subject speak of but one side of the
question. They seemed to be interested
in the prisoners and their work. but
never BOTHER about those who manage
the institution. We think or speak but
little OF ourselves but this kind OF
weather brings us to our senses. espe-
cially if we are forced to work a gang
of convicts in The cold for eight hours
every day. 1t is my opinion that the
guards suffer more from exposure to
the cod than do the poor prisoners,
as they are usually termed, for the
prisoners are kept at work. and the
exercise keeps their blood in circua-
ton. while the guards have to stand
by and look on with chatteiing teeth
cold to THE bone. 1t is a case of the
innocent suffering for the guilty, and
It certainly is punishment to have tC
stand around in the cold and keep men
at work. For all THAT it is better foI
guards TO be out in the air with forty
or fifty men than to be cooped up with
them in a room where the ventilation
is not sufficient to carry off the fou
air.
Another thing unpleasant to us is tC
be locked up in the wOrkhOuse WITH
these men. II has a depressing effec-
upon a person, which feeling vanishes
while working in the open air."

About fourteen men are now making
trousers daily in the institution, and
thirty others are ON practice work.
The cutting is being done in Trenton
penltentiary, but in a short time a
cutting table will be placed in the

or more of THE prisoners will be
taught to work on it with an electric
cutting machine. This machine will
be in operation by the last of next
week. BY that time the prisoners who
are learning to sew straight seams
and do other practice sewing will have
advanced far enough to be put ON regu-
lar work, and about thirty or thirty

PRISONERS LIKE 10 BUN MACHINE

PRISONERS LIKE TO RUN MACHINES
The sewing circle" undoubtedly is
the select society of the worl1house,
and pantaloon making is work that is
sought by all of the prisoners, espe-
cially during the cold weather There
are over a hundred willing prisoners
who gladly would make pantacoons in
preference to repairing lake or ditch
banks, or to working in the stone
quarry within the barbed wire fence
Of the stockade.
Oppenheimer & Co.. who own, and
whose agents operate the sewing room
in the institution, have a similar plant
in the Trenton penitentiary, and receive
many pairs of priscn-made trousers
monthly. The work in the New Castle
county workhouse promises to be of
better grade than THAT done in Tren-
ton, as the machines are new and bet
ter, and the operators seem to be more
apt and skillful in making the gar
ments.
Smoking and loud talking are pro-
hibited in the sewing room, and, be-
yond the conversation necessary for
uhe operation of the department, it is
very quiet.
The men employed by OppenheimeI
& Co. 10 manage the convicts are. pris.
Oners during working hours. When
they take charge of the department in
the mornings they are Cooked in and
kept locked in as long as the machin-
cry runs.

in this city, and who was formerly Vice
Consul under Ruunsevile Wildman in
ii, ngkOnS, is sdii cherishing the belief
that the COnsu. General and his family
may have taken to IA nfe-boat which has
beea blown out vi the harbor, and that
they may yet be heard from.
Mr.. and Mrs EDWIN Wildman. who
are now at the Everett House, commn-
niCated with San Francisco after the
news Of the disaster reached this city
and spent an anX Gus day in the vain
hope that some detn te news of the
missing family might arrive.
Mr.. Wildman was in very despond-
ent mood last night There can be no
doubt" sdud he, that my brother was
on the vessel. Besides the fact that his
name is mentioned in the stories Jt tho
disaster, | received only a short while
ago letter from h m saying hat he
and his family were going to sail on
January % The other evening l dined
with Third Assistant Secretary Of State
Cridler and he also had a letter from
my brother saying he would sail on
January %.
1T is a remarkable thing that this
steamship was my brothers pet and he
always made 1t a point to sail Oh her
when cross ng the Pacific. When / was
last in Hongkong he wanted me to sail
on her, too-he was so fond # her. 1
sailed, however. last November, on the
Coptic. The Rio de Janeiro was the
Oldest and smallest vessel of the line
and l preferred to sail on large and
modern ship. My brother would take
the trouble to miss q steamer II, order
to go on that ship.
Captain william Ward. the com
mander of the ship. was reputed to be
about the most popular officer in the
employ of the line. The fact that he
was in charge induced a good many to
nj N mn ri h
cr was a great friend of Captain Ward
"On this trip ne took the entire fam
lily, consisting of his wife, his two chill
dren, Rounseville Wildman, Jr., years
old, and Dorothy, years old They also
had with them Katie O'Brlen, the chill
dren's nurse, whom they took out from
San Francisco several years ago. My
brother has wo' ked very hard and he
and his family have been under a strain
since those troublesome times in China
began.
He was much in need of a leave IF
absence and thought that the health of
the children would be benefited by a
change. I understand he was to have
returned to Hongkong in about three
months. l expected to get a telegram
from. him upon the arrival of the yes
sci. telling me whether he would come
on to New York or whether l should go
to Washington. which was his real des-
unation. to meet him."
Mr.. Wildman said that his brother
had left Vice Consul William Aldrich.
hrother-in-law. In charge of affairs
while he sailed for this country.
Mr.. Wldman said that Mrs. Rounse-
vile WIldman was n granddaughter of
the late Lucius Foote, the War Govern
or Of Missouri, who had to leave that
state because OF his strong Unionist
svmpathics ard went to San Francisco,
where Re afterwards became United
states Senator. His son, W. w. Foote.
MS. w ldman's uncle, is now in this
city.
