CONDITIONS AT THE JAIL.

Richmond and Wayne county will be
under lasting disgrace until the con-
ditions existing at the county jail are
rectified. The Jail seems to have been
turned into an insane asylum, and
Sheriff Meredith into an attendant.
The case of John Thorman, who was
admitted to Easthaven Thursday, after
being kept in the jail for over six
months, illustrates the frightful state
Of affairs existing. Thorman was
hopelessly insane and not being able
on account of the crowded condition of
Easthaven to obtain admittance there,
he was kept for safe keeping at the
county jail. Besides being mental
wreck. Thorman was a physical wreck,
and owing to the latter the jail has
been in a disgusting condition for the
six months he was there.
AS long as Easthaven is SO crowded
and It takes so long to secure the adj
mittance of patient there, the county
council certainly should take steps to
maintain a place separate from the
prisoners confined in Jail in order to
take proper care of insane persons dur
ing the period they must wait before
being able to get into Easthaven. I'm
der present conditions the prisoners in
the county jail are subjected to treat
ment that is not whit better than the
torture of the Spanish inquisition.
Prisoners are kept awake all night by
the insane cries and meanings of the
unfortunates who are temporarily kept
there. They are also constantly men,
aced by the unsanitary conditions that
arise when a patient like Thorman is
confined in the Jail.
Moreover, the insane persons them
selves can not get the treatment they
should have. A jail is no place in
which their cases can be properly
taken care of, nor can Sheriff Meredith
or the turnkey be expected to know
though if the county council delays set
Ting this question long enough, they
may become expert attendants of the
insane from experience. The county
council declares that Wayne county
can nat afford to build a separate ward
at the jail for insane patients and pro-
vide proper attendants for them. There
is more or less bosh in such a state
ment, for If Wayne county does not
happen to have the ready money to
provide such a ward, 1t can at least
use its good credit and issue bonds for
the required amount. But it ought to
take immediate steps to right the con-
tinued wrong of turning our Jail into
an insane asylum.

STOLE COURTROOM CLOCK.
One Story That Hongkong Doesn't
Like to Tell Against Itself.

There is one story of Hongkong
that has never been told in this coun-
try" sair the man from the tropics,
"and guess that's because Hongkong
has always been ashamed to let the
story get out. For IL ever the laugh
was on the whole community it set
tied upon the damp village the time
the coolies went to the courthouse
to fix the clock.
"Hongkong prides itself on its mu-
nicipal buildings, particularly upon
the Hall of Justice. Over on the wall
opposite where the Justices bench ia
there used to be fine marble clock,
an immense affair.
Whenever tourists visited the Hall
of Justice the big sikh at the entrance
used to call particular attention to
that marble clock. 1t was pride, and
one of his chief joys off duty was to
wind it every week.
'Not very long ago, when court was
sitting, two Chinese coolies, dressed
as mechanics, presented themselves
before the door of the courtroom.
They carried ten-foot ladder be-
tween them. The sikh stopped them.
ALE li-fixum clock pidgin,' said
one of the coolies. and the big Indian
admitted them.
"They went right over to the wall
under the clock, hoisted their ladder
noiselessly, and with due Difference

across the room, took that marble
clock down from its fastenings. Then
they trotted out of the courtroom.

shouldering the ladder.
"The reason why Hongkong will
never tell the story on itself is that
no more was ever seen either Of the
coolies or the marble clock"
