Prisoner Without a Prison.

While nearly everyone has heard Oh
the man without a country, it has re-
manned for New York To produce i
prisoner without prison. who Will
apparently have to spend the SIX
wears to which he has been sentenced
as a sort of wandering convict taking
train rides with guard, This curious
condition of affairs is due TO statute
which SAYS that a prison term shall
not expire during the winter months.
The prisoner in question was SEN
fenced about four years ago but 1t was
only recently that his final appear
from the verdict was heard and the
punishment upheld. AS result 1t Is
only recently that the authorities of
the Tombs in this city, where he has
been held pending the decision Of his
appeal. delivered him at Sing Sing. a
prisoners term begins there when he
crosses the Sing Sing threshold and
as this would make this prisoners
term expire in winter the warden sent
him back. The judge as promptly re-
turned him to the Sing Sing warden,
and so long as the warden holds to the
statute in question these trips BACK
and forth can go on indefinitely.

dents in and about the mines in the
anthracite regions of Pennsylvania de-
creased from 699 in 1911 to 593 in 1872
according to the annual report of the
Department of Mines. This is an inn
provement Of approximately lo.2 per
cent. The number of fatal accidents
per 1000 employees decreased from 4.0S
in 1911 to 2.68 in 1872. The produc-
ton of coal per fatal accident rose
from 130,o67 tons in 1911 To 1892
tons in 1912. The number of fatal ac-
cidents per million tons produced de-
creased, therefore from 7.69 to 7.42
For many years efforts have been
made not only to safeguard the lives
of employees, but to induce them to
protect themselves. Classes in first

and corps of men trained in this work
established. Equipped ears with every

Upon a weary road;

Was faint beneath its load.

The light that led was dim.
