Mr.. Mann.

contracted for the convict labor Of the
shoe department in the state prison,
testified regarding the business condi.
tioRs IN the shoe shop and spoke Of the
general ineiaciency Of Supt. 4. W.
Oakes and the general efficiency Of j.
d. Harpin. He told Of making an un-
successful attempt to obtain an inter-
view with Mary Rogers for Boston
newspaper man
John Oakes, a brother Of the former
superintendent, was also called to the
stand
AID WINDSOR PRISON
Dir. Oakes who worked under super
inendent Oakes ia 1881 for a few
months and under his brother from 1884
to 1901, described his duties in detail
while an employee or this institution
and told of his packing vegetables for
his brother in a trunk to take to Lake
Sunapee several times. He did not
know of any chickens or meat being
taken over there lie had picked a few
ears Of corn few times from the state
grounds, but that was all He had
used his brothers mileage to travel of.
He supposed this was kept in q drawer
with the state mileages. Some of the
eonyiets had hoed out some cabbages
in his own yards two or three times and
be had known Of conyiets working at Mr..
Harpin's and no account made Of ii.
He had a raise III July from S25 to
$40 per month III 1896 because lie
thought he was worth more and he had
more responsibility than the other
guards. This was procured by asking
the superintendent.
Alr. Cakes denied the-story Of undue
intimacy with a female employee as
testified to BY an ex-guard at the hear
ing in Boston. He said that as mem-
ber Of the firm Of Deane q Oakes he
had sold supplies to the state prison
and had got no better prices than were
charged local hyeryinen, who bought
grain, etc, in large quantities. In Mr..
/ 0akes' opinion the cost Of carrying on
the farm with convict labor would be
about the same asswith free hired labor.

AUTO-FUNERAL CITATIONS.

Judge Moore of Spokane. who was
the principal speaker at the meeting
of the Bar association of that city
held on account of the death of Hon.
Patrick Henry Winston, advocated
in the course of his address that
each member of the bar should write
his own funeral grafton, on the
ground that the obituary thus pre-
pared would be more fitting tribute
and better prepared than the stereo-
typed resolutions of respect" now
passed upon the demise of deceased
member of the profession.
The learned judge might have add
ed another cogent reason, which is
that the departing lawyer would die
in the happy confidence that his obit-
uary would be written; for, in some
instances there might be little un-
certainty concerning it; also, from
the well known verbosity of some
members of the profession it might
be we'll to require from the 'estate"
a deposit to assure the engrossing of
the memorial on the record of the
court

view of beginning active preparation
on the plans for the new building
tnat he is taking the trip.
The library committee will hold an
important meeting here next week,
soon after the return of Mr.. James,

Orpheum Theater.

The popular Orpheum theater is
still drawing large crowds, and the
high class and strong attractions are
well deserving of the large patronage
it is receiving. This weeks attrac-
lions are the beautiful comedy-dra-
ma ION the Mississippi" and "The
Ensign" These are two very strong
and interesting plays. There is a
vein of high comedy running through
every line of them.
The illustrated songs are "a Rab-
bis Daughter" and Last Night as
the Moon was Shining" The moving
picture, Hop O My Thumb" is one
among the best series of pictures
produced. 1t depicts the fairy tale
of Little Thumb" showing the fam
lily in poverty, the parents despairing
and in their despair taking their chill
dren to lose them in the woods; the
lost children find their way to the
giants house, and the clever manner
in which Hop O. My Thumb out
witted the giant and his wife and
brought opulence and wealth to him
self, his parents and his brothers.
The pictures alone are worth more
than the price of admission.
