1.-The Mirror" which has ever been held up to
the gaze of the Great Outside as the reflection of
how the grey brotherhood believes others see it,
and how it views the Great Outside, is about to be
placed in charge of successor by the outward
bound" helmsman of its editorial desk, Mr.. j. S.
He will leave it Mirror that has not lost
its ustre during the time of his incumbency. But,
rather he leaves it brighter because of his conss-
tent policy offarness to all it's inmate contributors
Together with judgement and tact that have at
tracted to its columns staff of writer's second to
none in intra-mural journalism.
Happily, lie is about to pass the portals to
freedom that separate the delinquent from the in
delinquent, which has, during his stay among us,
spurred him to determination that was bound to
win him the sesame of cemency, that has finally
opened the grim gates to liberty for him.
This, determination and real merit have achev-
ed the fruits that uncOnquerabe spirit like his
will gain opportunities that occur to pen
al inmates which smoothens the way to promotion
and the final: Go thou and sin mOre.''
He leaves behind host of we-wishers that
have learned to respect and appreciate him at his
true worth.
We bid him farewell and God speed upon a
journey that will lead him to the eager and joyful
welcome by the loved and loyal waiting ones at
home.
We wish him nothing but the best the Mirror
of the Future may contain for him. May he al
ways find in it reflection of honored and useful
citizenship -surmounted by the inscription

Outdoor Work Instead Of Jail Sentence

The city of Duluth and St. Louis county,
Minnesota have decided that it is not fair and poor
business to boot to lock up men and maintain them
in deness for such acts as drunkenness and other
minor misdemeanors They have purchased thou
sand acres of new land Duluth, where men
who have committed such ofenses will be sent and
put to work in the open. The place is called 'Coun-
ty and City Work Farm
This idea of putting to good use the brains and
energy of men who have gone little wrong, and
who may as easily be led back to the straight and
narrow way as helped on the downward path by
daily contact with prison life, is not only extremely
humane but one instance of the scientific solution
of an old and vexing problem. So the city of Du-
luth and st. Louis county instead of sending men
to Jail for petty Oenses will send them to the Coun-
ty and City Work Farm, where they will be we'll
clothed, we'll fed and required to work in the open
air.
At present the institution is run much like
lumber camp. There is room for 48 men and
the camp has been full since starting in january
Quarters are to be enlarged shortly to accommo-
date at least 1870 men, The superintendent of the

They forced him down stairs. He resisted pr. Pool, after tell ing Cavanaugh to tie Nicholson to the cot, left the room. A moment later the physician heard Cavanaugh cry out My NIOQs SLdOOSo' Oe@Nc@- naugh staggered from the rest room and died in Dr. Pools arms within two minutes, He was stabbed in the heart.
 Meanwhile the patient, minus his hat, escaped through the maids room upstairs to the Cavanaugh yard next door, where the orderly's wife saw him, and into the basement home of Mrs Elsie Delcourt. at s55 West F'iftieth street. There he asked Mrs. De1court for a hat and grdmbled, They tried to kill me- but I killed them.''
