Glenn Jail In BlrnlIngham.

T have travelled all ever the coun- try and have seen all sorts, sizes ana conditions of prisons. I have seen iaiIs in Chicago, New York. and all the big cities of the Beast. My study of Juvenile court work has brought me in actual contact with men behind prison bars, and while there have made a study of prisons from every viewpoint. l have seen Jails that were considered good from a sanitary view point. I have seen jails that were really cleaner than they looked. But I want to say that the Jefferson coun- ty jail is the cleanest, positively, the most sanitary prison I ever saw"
 Thus spoke Dr. A. S. Orne, of Chi cago, who Is in Birmingham in the interest of juvenile court work He said that he mades an inspection of what is reputed to be one of the most crowded prisons in the SouEh and was surprised to find everything so orderly.
 'The floors were scupulously clean" said pr. Orne, "and there was a total absence of the filth that usually is allowed to accumulate in the corners of the cells and in the corridors. l was also impressed with the prisoners themselves. They seemed 70 take a pride in keeping clean and the bath room is feature that should be in- stalled in every prison in she United States"
 During the course of his remarks Dr. Orne said other good Shings about the local prison. He will be here sev- eral days. Dr. Orne Is accompanied by his wife, who is also interested in Juvenile court work.

Mobile, March Is. Especial. 1.-The sound of the willow against the horsc- hide was again heard at Monroe Park this morning after an absence of one day owing to the cold snap, and Ber- ney McCay and his husky tribe of Oystermen were out all forenoon lim- boring up.
 There are now about eighteen nien here for tryouts and each morning hitting and individual fielding prac- tice are indulged in, while in the af- ternoon the "Yanigans" line up against the regulars and complete game is played. when some excellent showings are made. This Is especially true of the hitting of the oystermen, for Me Gay seems to have landed q hitting team.
 The pitching staf is rounding into shape nicely and from the way the fellows are bending them over some body in the Cotton States League this season will be going out of the gates after curve balls. Hayes No. 2. for there are two on the Mobile team and both pitchers. who arrived yesterday afternoon was on the firing line thia morning and the way the healthy youngster was sending them in to Mickey made the old Irishman feel as if he were really in the game again.
 Mickey OBrien is the same jolly. happy chap that made him so popu- lar here last year and he lost none of the true arm with which he nailed so many base thieves at the second sta- ton for the pennant winners last year.
 Puckett, who will do the additional hackstop work for the Oystermen th.s year, is surprising all the old heads with bis receiving. He has a great stand while back of the bat and shoots them to second in good style.
 The infield Is about the fastest bunch that has ever collected to de- fend a rag in any of the minor leag ue towns. From first around to the third station every position Is occupied by man fast on his feet, quick of eye and with a whip as true as a rife. The few fans who gathered to watch the Oystermen at practice yesterday were all praises of their work and pre- dict great things when the season opens

Negro Runs Away.

The dignity of Justice James Brodie at Ensley was very much insulted this morning whe a negro was arrested for changing his name. The defendant was brought before the judge and af- ter ascertainipg that the court was in possession of evidence sufficient to convict. the defendant decided that a good run would be better than bad stand. and acting on the impulse of thought started to run, the court fol- lowing in hot pursuit. The negro was apprehended after short run down one of the most important thorough fares of the city. Quite a number of people watched the flight and arrest.
 Both the negro and court were bare headed as they chased down the street, and when the run ended beth were winded.
