Five Million Says the st. Paul
Miles of Irvine. Globe:
Five million miles of binder Irvine
have been turned out by the prison
plant since it was established eight
years ago. This would be sufficient to
wind string completely around the
earth 200 times and almost around for
the 20lst time.
The aggregate output of the state
prison plant since it began operations
has been 100000 pounds of Irvine.
This Irvine, considering each grade in
its proper proportion, averages $50 feet
to the pound, and therefore the prod
uct would amount to 26, 4OO,OOO,OOO feet,
or 100000 miles of Irvine.
Contemplating the prison Irvine in
dustry from another point of view, it
is estimated that the plant has saved
the farmers of Minnesota $1,44O,OOO in
the term of its operation. The prices
at which prison Irvine is to be sold are
fixed at the beginning of each year by
the Warden and the Board of Control,
as directed by law, and it is the pur-
pose of these officers to make the prices
as far as possible below the general
market, and still leave slight margin
of profit.
1t is estimated by those who have
followed the operation of the plant,
since its beginning, that the average
difference between the prison Irvine
and that sold in the market generally,
has been cents a pound, which would
make the saving on the aggregate out
put of the factory 81, 100000.

The Hit of A clean, wholesome,
The Season. ludicrous farce pre-
sented by a company Of clever
players was the treat provided for
the prisoners on the morning of
Lincoln's Birthday. The play was
Zone Night Only translated
from the German by Robert
Baker; the players were members
of the University of Minnesota
Dramatic Club.
All the inmates and several
guests from the outside world
gathered in the chapel at 9 o'clock
in the morning, filling the room
to the doors. The platform had
been extended three or four feet, a
stage and curtain had been con-
structed and heavy curtains were
hung before the windows to keep
out the daylight, the whole giving
the room the appearance of a small
theatre.
There is a plot to "One Night
Only" In fact there are two
mature plots and several hopeful
situations that may grow up and
become plots after awhile. They
get very much mixed up during
three acts of the farce, owing on

ability of the plotters to tell the
truth and on the other to their
incapacity to comprehend the
truth when they hear it, but finally
they straighten themselves out
and the last curtain is rung down
on scene of domestic bliss that
brooks no misunderstanding. In
short there is as much continuity to
the story of Zone Night Only as
one expects or desires to find in a
farce. The lines are bright and
clever and the situations ridiculous
and humorous.
The players are amateurs, but
that is probably because they don't
need the money. Certainly they
are the peers of many thespians
who find bread and meat and an
occasional stein in the practice of
their art. These young people act
with a grace and finish which
reflects credit on themselves and
on Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Holt of
the johnson School of Oratory and
Dramatic Art, under whose
direction the play was put on.
What is more, they enjoy the
work. Every moment they were
on the stage this pleasure was
obvious and it heightened the
pleasure of the audience.
No one was the star and no one
carried off more honors than the
rest, altho, of course, certain roles
offered greater opportunities than
others. The ladies, the Misses
Cornelia Hollinshead, Mildred
Hunter, Alice Bean and Florence
Hofflin, sustained their parts with
intelligence and artistic apprecia-
ton, and we're we'll supported by
the male members of the COM
pany, George Tyler, Dana M.
Easton, Max Kicker, Paul Magnu-
son and Cyrus S. Brown. The
audience entered keenly into the
spirit of the play, and the applause
was frequent and prolonged.
At the conclusion of the perform
ance Warden Wolfer explained
that the members of the company
had contributed their time and
talent gratuitously, and thanked
them for himself and on behalf of
the inmates.
Between the acts music was
furnished by members of the local
band, orchestra and choir, and the
former played for the men to
march in and out of the chapel.
The usual dollhouse privilege
was granted and a holiday dinner
was served. The afternoon was
spent in the cells.

When folk could boast such qualities
And had 'em too, what's more!
Who has abundance of it now,
Or who would care to rob,
The glory, that lies pregnant,
From the bones of poor old Job?

They smite you-cheek by jowl.

HURLEE AND WIFS
 FINALLY SEPARATED
Man Who Was Let Out By Judge Fea- gin on Probation Is Fined Heavily
 for Carrying Pistol.

After about fifteen years of married life, John Hurlee and his wife have finally separated as result of his attempting to beat her Saturday, and threatening to take her life. Yesterday morning Judge Feagin fined him S15 in the police court for mstreating his wife and gave him $90 and 1s0 days on a charge of carrying concealed weapons.
 The evidence of Mrs Hurlee in court was that about a year ago she had her husband arrested for mistreatlng her, and that again Saturday she was forced to have him arrested again. When arrested a year ago he had promised Judge Fea- gin to treat her better and had been placed on probation. She said that for a while he had done this. but that about month or two ago he quit supporting her, and that for several weeks she had worked in a laundry to keep herself and her child from starving.
 On Saturday she testified her husband came home drunk and threatened to kill her. He had pistol and fired 1t one time out of the back door to show that 1t was loaded She sent for Policeman Nix and he arrested the husband. Mrs. Hurlee and her little girl live at 2126 Avenue G.
 Mrs. Hurlee told her husband where he could find his clothing, saying that he would not find her when he returned home from jail, He begged to be allowed to go free and promised to treat her bet ter and care for her, but Judge Feagin re- fused him another trial.

AMUSEMEN Is.
At the SlJou.

"The Factory Glrl'' pleased a large aud fence at the Bljou last night. The open ing performance augurs well for a good business during the remainder of the week. There will be the usual perform ances at night and matinees In the after noon this week, with the exception of Good Friday. Manager Wells permits no plays in any of his theatres on that day.
 The play given last night Is a melo- drama and unfolds one of those stories of life that appeals particularly to the masses. The trials and triumphs of working girl and her love for the hero make an interesting plot in which are a number of thrilling scenes. The midnight duel in the snow, the escape from prison. the absnthe fend the electric dynamo. and the courtroom scene are all good. In fact the staging Is one of the strong est features of the play.
 ''The Factory Grl' is another one of the clever Baney plays. Across the Pacific and "only a Shop Girl" also from the pen of this author, have been presented here this season to crowded houses. '"The Factory Girl' is similar to "Only @ Shop Girl"
 The parts last night were distributed among a company of players who acquit themselves well. A feature of the per formance was the factory girl quartette. Their songs were well rendered and res ceived frequent encores.
