PRISONS NEW RECORD.
Now Has I,285 Inmates Largest Number
in the History Of the Institution.

The population of the New Jersey
state prison has increased to con-
siderable extent during the past few
weeks. The institution now has nm
enrolment of ,as5, the largest in the
history of the place.
The next highest figures reached
was several years ago, when more
than 300 government prisoners were
within its walls. The register at that
time showed an enrolment of 1,2S4.
Nearly all of the convicts now con-
fined Mt the prison were sentenced in
the state. There are few long term
government prisoners, who were sent
here few years ago. A majority of
the government prisoners, are now
sent to the government prison in Del
aware. or the !, 1856 convicts behind
the dreary walls, IS are women. The
largest number of women cenvicts
confined in the institution ut one time
was 81
At this time last year there were
l,21G convicts in the prison.
Five long-term prisoners were re-
ceived at the institution during the
week. The longest termer was Lo-
renzo Moglio, who was sentenced
from Essex county, to 20 years for
murder in the second degree.

The Cigarette Smoker.

Ebert Hubbard isn't the best au.
therity in the world on all subjects,
but he is unquestionably correct in
pronouncing against the use of ciga-
rettes, especially by the young In a
late number of the Phillistine he says:
AS close observer and employer
of labor for over twenty five years, l
give you this: Never advance the pay
OF cigarette smoker; never promote
him; never trust him to carry roll to
Garcia, unless you do not care for
Garcia and are willing to lose the
roll. Cigarette smoking begins with
an effort to be smart. 1t soon be-
comes pleasure, a satisfaction, and
serves to bridge over a moment of
nervousness or embarrassment. Next
1t becomes necessity of life, a fixed
habit. This last stage soon evolves
into third condition, stage of
fever and unrestful, wandering mind,
accompanied by loss of moral and
mental control.
Inevitably cigarette smoking i'm
pairs health, lessons usefulness and
Jeopardizes happiness, and all with
out compensation worthy of the name.
All smokers are not affected to the
degree, but there is none who would
not be better off without, the habit.
