A NEW YEARS APPEAL.
Prisoners For Debt Used Day to Tell
of Their Unfortunate Condition.


The newspapers of a century ago af
ford an i. evidence Of the cruelty and
futiliiy % one of the laws of the day
namely. the punishment of debt by
imprisonment. says Alice Morse Earle.
1t was an utterly hopeless task for any
imprisoned for debt ever to expect
to be released save by pardoning. and
the sufferings of such prisoners was
extreme, as they had no charity funds
to draw upon to mitigate the woes and
misery, the filth and horror Of their
surroundings. These unhappy men
often chose the opening Of the new
year-a time Of gladstone hope to the
world in general-to appeal for aid in
their utter forlornness, and in the
newspapers at the close OF the year ap-
peals for help printed through the pity
of the publisher of the news sheet, and
in early January sometimes humble
thanks for gifts from generous cih-
zens. Here is an advertisement from
the New York Gazette, January, 1851:
Thrice happy. whose tender Care
Relieves the poor Distrest
When Troubles compass them around
Tho Lord shall give them Rest.
We the poor Prisoners confined In the
I Gaol Of the City Of New York. do take
this publick Opportunity Of returning our
most humble and hearty Thanks to our
generous but unknown Benefactors for
relieving US this severe Season when We
were almost perich'd with Cold and Hun
ger, by sending two Quarters of Beef. one
Cord Of Wood. Twelve Shillings In Money
and three dozen Of Loaves Of Bread
which was fairly and justly distributed
between us. And that God Almighty may
give them Health and Happiness In the
present Life and Eternal Happiness In the
next are the sincere wishes and Desires Of
THE POOR UNFORTUNATE PRISON

During Cuba's rebellion against Spain
in the early seventies the ship Virgin
ius. flying the American TAG and carry
ing the requisite papers as an Ameri-
can vessel. was captured by the Span
ish on it's way to Cuba, carrying Amer
lean volunteers to aid in the rebel
cause. Declaring that the ship was
not actually an American vessel. the
Spanish officers took possession of 1t
ana shot number of Americans ON
| board The government of the United
States protested against the action OF
the Spaniards. and an investigation
followed. which disclosed the fact that
the ship was not an American vessel,
but a cuban boat sailing under false
roors ana with forged papers. Tech
nically this cleared the Spanards OF
the charge of attacking an American
ship. but for the execution of Amerl-
can passengers the Spanish govern
ment formally apoloSized to the Unit
ed States ana paid Il large indemnity.
