The prisoners are given but two
meals on Sunday and three on other
days, Warden Meserve says that
there has been no complaint of food
except the one man who COMP aimed
OF the mush. In feeding the men
certain quantity is cooked for each
t'n men. The allotment OF various
articles on the basis of ten men is as
follows: Roast beef, ten pounds;
corned beef, seven and one-hai pounds:
stew beef, five pounds; mutton, eight
pounds: molasses, one and one -half
quarts; coffee, four ounces; oat meal,

There is but two sick prisoners in

Warden Meserve was thanked for his
courtesy and the visit was at an end.
One great improvement derived
over the old jail is that the prisoners
are kept occupied and their work re-
quires that they give it their utmost
attention. so tllat they have no time
to brood over their confinement.

SHERIFF! is
NOT HAPPY.
Fears That His Beloved
Prisoners Are Not
Receiving Proper
Care.

Sheriff Mcdaniel is very jealous
of the care given the prisoners at
the workhouse and thinks 1t his
special duty to see that they get
enough to eat and are fed with the
best of TODD He never loses a
chance to complain bout the work
house and those who manageit and
il he only had his way he would
have the prisoners back al New
Castle Jail where he could feed
them to his he arts content aud also
to the contentment o, his pocket
which has been crying in a loud
voice since the prisoners ware
moved.
The sheriff was allowed 20 cents
a day Tor each prisoner and il he
could get out cn six cents a dav,
the remaining money went TO him
sell. Then those prisoners CON-
mil,cd by Mayor Boyd (?) ceased
to make their appearance and that
was Just that much more Tor the
poor sheriff to lose. Surely much
WrOngel man as nc IS uesel'ee 'hc
pity aud help OF all charitable cit'-
zens. and If by any movement the
prisoners can be restored to him
all should lend hand to make this
poor man happy again.
II is said that the sheriff has not
smiled since the day he appeared
in court with all his beloved pris.
oners to turn them over to the
Trustees oil the Workhouse, and it
surely is a pity that such Jovial
fellow as he once was should be
brought to such Il condition. We
would like to hear him laugh as
he used to do before all this wrong
was done.

tie committee appointed by President
Mckinley to investigate the moral con-

interview:
II went there an antiexpansionist

We should hold the islands and do

DR.. Hazlett made an exhaustive
study Of the morality question and con-
rluded that the morals of the country
Are much better than Is generally be-

says, is doing everything in its power
to suppress vice and maintain high

succeeding.
He says there will be antipathy for
