Xmas Entertainment.

The inmates of this institution,
altho denied many of the comforts
enjoyed on the "outside," had a
very agreeable time on Christmas
Day. At eight o'clock in the
morning they we're permitted to
congregate in the dollhouse cor
ridors and CONVERSE with each
other. At ten o'clock they we're
marched to the prison chapel to a
performance given under the aus
pieces of Manager McCready of the
Star Theatre, of St. Paul, and
Manager Pierong, of the. Orpheum.
These gentlemen, at a consider
able sacrifice of personal comfort,
did all they possibly could to bring
a little cheer and happiness to the
detained and to cause us to forget
our cares and worries for the time
being.
The show was enthusiastically
enjoyed by all, for the boys not
only applauded the exit of the
performers, but also gave them a
delightful reception as they ap-
peared on the stage. The sing
ing, as we'll as the comedy sketches
was we'll done and merited the
loud applause extended. The pro-
lessor of black magic, was simply
marvellous" He appeared to get
as much merriment out of his
visit to our "castle" as he gave to
the audience. His tricks were
very mystifying, and some of the
boys watched him in open-mouth-
ed wonderment.
The names of the performers
who SO kindly gave their time and
talent to our entertainment were
Ben Welch and Emil Fox of the
Orpheum; Oracle and Reynolds,
Snitz, Moor & Co., Morris Abrams,
Miss Lola Bigger, Miss Eta Wells,
Miss Lola Keegan from the Star
Theatre. Each of these ladies and
gentlemen have the sincere thanks
of the inmates for their generosity,
and merited the hearty applause
given them at the conclusion of
Warden VOTERS remarks in which
he thanked them on behalf of the
prisoners.

But running track never moves. by gum!
AS seed of hay is not hayseed,
Horse radishes are not horse feed.
Since drinking cup never takes a drink,
A sinking bark amt barking sink
If store groceries come from grocery store
coreless apple is an apple, less core.
Now bum box car amt a box car bum.
But gun hammerless is a hammerless gun
If scaly fish was a ishy scale,
Wouldn't that make bucket turn pail?
Tho clock that runs don't have to move,
Bet neither way. if you do you'll lose.

While the men were having
their outing in the corridors just
before the show took place on
Christmas, it was rumored about
that John L. Sullivan and Jake
Killraine would take part in the
program. The rumor failed to
materialize, and no doubt the man
who started it is still laughing at
his little joke.

Che Celegrapb.

Do our English cousins admit
that Morse invented the telegraph ?
The man who takes the negative
side of this argument has the ad-
vantage of expert opinion, includ-
ing Kelven, Hooper and Henery,
names to conjure with when talk
ing about telegraph experts. He
also has eighty per cent of the en-
cyclopedias in his favor. Some
say Wheatstone, others explain
that there is a controversy. No
fresh evidence has oeen produced
and it is a well-known fact that
bis claim is disputed not only in
England but in America and Ger
many. To say that anything is
universally conceded is a big or
der. In fact one is surprised at
the small number of things that
are universally conceded. Strange
to say one of them is well-known
to be wrong, i. e.. all the nations
of the earth concede that the sun
rises and sets.
Now to get down to the fine
point. 1t has been proved by
Thompson that the idea of an cleo
trio telegraph had been expert
mented with before Wheatstone
or Morse were born-both in Eng
land and Germany. That is also
proved by the Germans. It ap-
pears that the key was the stumb-
ling block and the first one to be
patented by Wheatstone and
Cooke in 1886. Now no one sup
poses that it was completed in a
day. The Morseites claim that
Morse invented it in 1882. 1t is
indeed strange that he did not get
patent for it. A man who had
put aside painting to study the
problem of key for an idea which
it is admitted he got from another
man would not let the grass grow.
find that not only was the
Wheatstone key used in England,
but according to Mr.. F. w. Jones,
Chief Engineer of the Postal Tel
egraph Cable Co., it was used in
several places in the United States,
Brazil and Mexico and it was a
different key than the one invented
by Morse. There is controversy
and it will never be settled. Bell
is held to be the inventor of the
telephone by the courts of the u.
IS. On the same day, the 18th of
February, 1876, both he and Gray
applied for a patent on the tele-
phone, and the proofs are clearer
that Ries exhibited a telephone
from 1861 to 1864 than those are
that Morse invented the telegraph
in 1882. The experts declare that
Ries ought to share with Bell
the honor. He lies buried at
Friedrichdorf. On his tombstone
are the words: GER finder des
Telephone" Morse was honored
by France for his work which has
proved to be better than that of
Wheatstone. Kelven has also been
decorated by Spain, France, Ger
many and England for his serv.
ices to mankind in bringing the
electric telegraph to it's present
high standard of efficiency. It is
not universally conceded that
Morse invented the telegraph.

Our Tribute.

The world is wide, so runs the tale,
And man is merely mortal.
But wider still for him whose sail
Was trimmed to prison portal;
And tho a line divides the two
The world and its erring brother,
An abyss as deep as the sun-lit blue.
Perhaps it is, or the other.
Some actor friends beyond the wall
With singing, wit and dancing,
Came in to entertain us all
Our Xmas cheer enhancing:
A world of humor to entice
Our mirth from out its hiding
of pathos, just trace of spice
A program so inviting,
When folks forget their Joys, to share
Discomforts for our pleasure,
And of their talent gratis spare
An OVERLOOKING measure;
We hardly know what to say,
Nor scarcely how to say it,
However. if enough. then may
Our heartfu1 thanks repay it.
It takes generous heart indeed
A spirit of he1etter,
To hold in giving is received
A balance for the debtor;
So while we never can return
Or recompense their favor,
To Christmas Day we'll often turn
And 1inger on its SAVIOR.
