DIR. GEORGE b. WIGHT, State Com
missioner of Charities and Corrections
is working on a plan to make New Jer-
sey penal Institutions as nearly self
sustaining as possible and to make the
|convicts labor to contribute to the
support of their dependent families.
He wants some radical changes from
present conditions and new laws on
the subject may be asked of the next
Legislature. Hes says that New Jersey
markets are flooded with prison made
goods from other states, yet our con-
yicts are not allowed to work to any
profit. He favors moving the State
prison to some locality where stone
abounds and set all the prisoners to
breaking stone He thinks the trade
declarations win not object to this.

organizing his army. From this point
he could descend Instantly to the
plains if the British invaded Jersey,
or march quickly, by interior lines, to
depend the Hudson passes in case Of
need. From thisztime the Cutting Of
the colonies in two was a main object

with Bnrgoyne's help to accomplish
this object by taking and holding the
line of the Hudson; but instead Of
advancing from New York to meet
Burgoyne, with Washington in the
way they moved by water to the south
ward, drew Washington away, and
took Philadelphia, not suspe0ting the
fate to which they were leaving Bur-
Lgoyne.

Shepherd King" the largest dramatic
production ever made, and which tells

he is tending his fathers herds, to sing to
King Saul and still his madness, he goes

him in single combat with sling and
stones" and becomes king.

changing in tint each moment overhead,
the gloomy and supertitious air that seems

Oriental ornamentation, are all scenes
that have not been equalled in grandeur
and sumptuousness in any production
ever made.
