games from both Princeton and Harvard
Harvard won from Carlisle, but as usual
found the Indians a tough proposition, the
redmen crossing the line. The final score
was % to II in favor OF Harvard. Holy

from Syracuse % TO 0. The game be-
tween Dartmouth and Brown at SPRING

Conditions at House Of Correction.
tBarre Times1

tBarre Times.1
1t is a wrong which ought to be righted
at the first opportunity, the crowding of
the states prisoners into the accommoda-
lions which are now provided at the house
of correction at Rutland. The recent visit
of state officers disclosed anew the press
ing demand for more room. The institu-
ton is fitted to accommodate $50 persons
but on one day last week there were gao
Inmates. 1t Is oftentimes the case that
two men have to be placed In one cell
These cells are eight feet long, seven
feet high and five feet wide Under the
present arrangements two men are kept
in each of these sweat-boxes thirteen
hours al a stretch. Imagine the condition
of the air at the end of thirteen hours
and this I'm light of the report made by
the institutions physician, that the cells
are too small to accommodate one man,
let alone trying to crowd in two. The
superintendent says that the conditions
are dangerous to health discipline and
morals Of the prisoners, and declares that
the men will probably leave the house Of
correction more hardened and bitter
toward society because of their eN-
periences during confinement. Vermont's
prisoners may have broken laws Of the
commonwealth, but they do not deserve
to be herded like pigs.
