 SHOULD DRIVE sLOWLY.--At this
 season of the year when the town is
 well filled up with people. drivers
 should be careful about coming out of alleys too hastily. There is scarcely
 al day that some one does not have to save himself from being run over by 1 a quick jump. This is particularly true in the case of Wall street. Com mercial street and Broadway Ca mis- nomor) and the alley running from Washington to Jefferson between Center and First streets. Both Washington l and Center streets are nov well filled with people the greater part of the day and neither the pedestrian nor the driver can sec each other more than ten or fifteen feet away on account of the buildings. If d horse approaches any of these crossings from within the
 block. on a trot there is nothing for a pedestrian to do but jump for his life
 What would be considered a very letharSic pace on a broad street might
 be murdcrousIy swift at an alley cross

 A GAsTRONOMIC PROTEsT-The prisoners Of the county jail yesterday addressed a round robin to the sherin's office on the subject of the jail pro- Nender Like Oliver Twist Ley want more. They also want better quality. The steak. liver and potatoes which constitute the staple of their food they say is more often rotten than not. The beans are all right except that they are i lacking in quantity and some times there are none at all. The steak the 1 prisoners have reason to believe is cut l from that part of the beef called in . technical terms. the "cOmebaciI.' They ! have frequently observed the marks of . teeth upon it showing that it had been . proof against the efforts of some uu- fortunate predecessor. The signcrs o-t The round robin say that they have ire 1uently spoken to the Chinese commits f sary about and when he does not in suit them in reply he tells his troubles 10 them and points out the imposs.- 5ility of doing any better for ten cents T l meal. Accordingly the prisoners pre- T test against being starved for the pur- pose oi building Up the fortune of the Il Chinese contractor. They respectfully | ask that a change of some kind be Tn- iugurated and that there be more of it.
