cords.

all Schools running in good

rish Jail and found it kept
clean and the prisoners we'll
provided for. We recon-
mend that the inside walls be
white washed and the cells
painted. For the sake of hu-
inanity, if for no other reason
a wooden fence should be
built around the Jail so as to
allow the prisoners to brea-
the fresh air. The broken

nal should be repaired at once

OF the six Justices of the

in the Fourth and Fifth
Wards.

night should be stopped with
out any further recomrnenda

GENTLE JABS.

Poverty is the only luxury
the rich can't afford.
Let the other fellow have
MS way-as long as it is only
talk.
Some men are not satisfied
with courting trouble they
go ahead and marry it.
It's pity a man can't get a
pair of srspenders to hold Up
his reputation as we'll as his
trousers.
A preachers life would be
awfully tame if it wasn't for
weddiugs.
