ANCIENT CELLS ARE FOUND
Abode Of Prisoners in the 7-ime of
Charles 10. Are Unearthed In
London.

A fitting abode for criminal relics
to be exhibited at the new London
museum at Kensington palace has
been found in two prison cells, which
were discovered by a gentleman con-
nected with the London county coun
ell in an old house in Wellclose
square, st. Georges-in-the-E East The
cells, which are believed to date back
to the time of Charles II. and to have
been subsequently used in connection
with the Whitechapel police court.
were occupied in a common lodging
house when discovered. In the walls.
which are built of oak, thickly studded
with strong iron bolts. were the orig
inal letters used for the condemned
prisoners. together with a plank bed
upon which no doubt many criminal
spent his last night upon earth.
The complete cells have been dis
mantled by experts acting under in
structions from Guy Laking, custodian
of the new museum. and they will be
regretted in their entirety in the
annex at the museum at Kensington,
where visitors will be able, not only
to pass in and out of them and in
spect the many quaint inscriptions on
the walls, but examine the massive
iron bolts Oh the exterior. which de-
fed the efforts OF the most willy pris.
oners to force an exit. An old oak
staircase still stands in the house in
Wellclose square. but this will not be
removed.

Answer the Question

The American Live Stock Insurance
Company insures horses and mules
against death from ANY cause. Do
you suppose, in view of the fact tnat
YOU are five times more liable to lose
one or more horses or mules by death
from disease or accident than you are
to have your dwelling burned, that
you can satisfactorily explain why
you carry insurance on the latter, and
could hardly sleep without 1t. and al
low your stock to go uninsured? JudS-
ing by the large number Of high
priced horses and mules sold in York
county and the comparatively small
net gain in the annual increase, as
shown by the county auditors books,
it is evident that the mortality Is very
heavy. I do not insure stock after 1t
Is dead or over IL years of age. See
me about 1t at once.
