 more there are no fire escapes. The kitchen and dining room in connection with the jail is not large enough to accommodate the number of prisoners lodged in the jail. The building that the jail, dining room and kitchen oc- cupied is very old and in a dilap- idated condition; the walls have dropped from the ceiling as much as six inches and the flooring is broken and uneven making it un- safe and difficult to keep in a san itary condition. We recommend that immediate repairs be made in the kitchen and dining room of the Federal Jail.

 The quarters occupied by the U. s. Marshal's office is very in- adequate for the amount of bus mess it transacts. The building that the U. s.

 TAXES UNP AID
Time Limit Almost Up; Mrs. Walter Fenn Is
 Given Shower
| OAKVIL.LE Correspondent: Mae Villa Babirl
 lS17 WatertOWu Avenue

The Oakville fire district tax col- lector, William c. McQowan, re- ports a number of taxes un-collect- cd for the year of 1885.
 The amounts due. are in most in- stances rather small and the col- lector hopes that they will be clean ed up promptly. As the tax years is nearly expired, taxes unpaid will force the collector to place liens against the property involved and the lien charges of $3.76 will in many instances exceed the amount of the tax.
 The collector hopes that people who owe taxes will see him at once so that arrangements can be made to pay the tax and avoid the ad- ditional lein charge which the state law says must be filed.
 Miscellaneous Shower
 Miss Genevieve O'Connell of Hartford was hostess at Q miscel- laneous shower. given last evening at the home of Mrs. William O. Connell of Falls avenue in honor of Mrs. Walter Tenn, of Manella street.

 Convention Hall, Philadelphia, June 24-(UP)--Their ears buzz. Their eyes burn. Their throats feel full of hack-saws. And it's their own fault. These democrats are the great little demonstrators. They even lead a donkey into the hall and bray at it. It's no fun for Sen. Alben Bark ley, the keynoter, who's trying to make speech about the three long years before the 1883 inauguration of President Roosevelt. Every time the curly haired senator bellows the name of MT. Roosevelt into the mi- crophones, the convention hall goes wild. Sirens wall. Delegates scream. They sing hail, hail, the Tennessee delegation dances a collective jig.
