Jf a prisoner+has: a' bad record he is ship- ped to Portsmouth; if a prisoner be- comes unmanageable in one of the other prisons he is hustled to Ports niouth. "The worst men in the com- munity find themselves landed there. To the men controlling the institu- tion this seems to be in a way rather complimentary. It shows that the management of the big penal imstitu- tion must be highly thought of by the authorities when such confidence is re- posed im it. And such confidence is daily being justified. Where others have failed nu or fallen far short of the mark, the officials at Portsmouth have succeeded. Behind them they have the strongest and best penitentiary in the dominion and one that 'compares favorably with and surpasses the ma- jority of whats are considered ideal in- stitutions of this kind on the other side of the border. The fact remains, however, that from highest to lowest, every officer "has much to pride him- self on and yet with all much to make him paufe and think, when he contem- plates the responsibility which rests upon his shoulders in the careful dis- charge of his duties toward society of which he is'a mémber and in which his charge must. also be. included though, for the timé being at least, fallen from the path of uprightness. The really good officer, who realizes as he shoulll the position he occupies in the chain of authority which gov- erns a prison must see glearly his duty and ba ready to perform it at all times. Ii-he does this his lot is not the easy one that the, uninitiated im- agines. What would the reader think, if told, that a guard on an average did about sixteen months duty, of ten hours a day, in every fourteen months, Yet such is the case as figur- ed out by high officials. Yet in spite of that fact there are scores of appli- cations for situations now on file, Verily fey know mat. what they do! -Foremost in Its Class The Kind of Men in Charge and the Grave Responsibilities of the Cleverest Men the World Produces-- A Visit at the Dinner Hour. along the proper THE DAILY WHIG, SATURDAY, JULY fs. PROGRESS World. < criminals have among their number the cleverest men in the country. Yes, without exception the cleverest ! Men, who, had they applied their talents channels, would be to-day, highly esteemed and leading members of society, perhaps holding the highest honors the public could bestow; instead they are mow para- sites on that society which offered them so much had they but resisted temptation. For all manner of crimes they have been sent to prison. Some never mounted the ladder in life; oth- ers have fallen from its topmost rungs. Well, place a class of men like this together, and who do you want to govern them? Should not. their keepers and" guards be men of high ideals and good education? Should they not be of the most superior class available ? These convicts have out- witted the best brains in the country in. many instances, while others have little more than the brute instincts in their make-up, They have trespassed the bonds surrounding modern soci- ety; they have committed erimes of all varieties; they are sent to the peni- tentiary tobe restra:ned and better- ed, One has outwitted the world he once belonged to, will he not be try- ing to-do likewise under his new sur- roundings ? Another has used vio- lence, is not the same to be expected of him now ? Then to bring good out of bad, to. bring from this great assort- ment. of evil inelinations, ove good and homogeneous whole is the task which confronts the officer who realiz- es his duty as he should, Can he not spend mueh time in thought as to how best to accomplisk the results expected of him. No two prisoners can be treated alike possibly, To tackle the problem and camry it to a sue cessful issue is 'a man's work." And this is the very work the casu- well as the crime for which he was convicted, his trade or profession, if any, the trade he elects to follow as afi inmate, and other interesting data along the same line, He is searched and made to disrobe." Disposition is made of his personal effects over his own signature. They will be kept till the time of his release or will be for warded to any friends, if he so de- ires. Next he receives a or the barber's hands, finally receiving his prisoner garb, and is conducted to the quarters allotted hen begins his first day in the nitentiary. At 0.30 a.m., a substan- Ho realist is allowed him of food in' sufficient quantities, but of courso devoid of amy delicacies. He then cleans up his ocll and 'is ready for the days' work. Patading with the mbmbers of the gang he is to labor beside, he, is marshed off to berin his toil. What that constitutes has al- ready been described at length. Short- ly before the moon hour each gang is marshalled in the prison enclosure under the watchful eye of its respec tive overseer, Every man is searched to see that he °~ has secreted nothing during the course of his work. Then begins the march. back to the cells. As fast as the last of one gang pass: os beneath the portals of the dormi- tory, another. is started on its way. Under the guidanee of the chief keep- er, the guards are posted along the route and at places of vantage at every turn so that mo prisoner . 1s ever out of sight of an officer. In turn onch passes toward the kitchen where he receives his dinner vail, and con tinues on the way to his cell. When hes enters the lock is turned and he in free to cat his mid-day meal. Ev- ervthing is carried on without a hitch or delay, and with scarcely a word. Kvery man, be he prisoner or sruard, knows exactly what is expected of him, and if he conforms to the regul ations then trouble cannot seemingly possibly result. The official returns are at once brought to the deputvswarden and immediately checked. If every: thing is found correet the prison bell rings forth in. joyous poals, which sound as music to the ears of the at- tendants. On the other hand should a prisoner be found missinr we indge the bell would dang forth the alarm in angry tones and shea herald the vi we abroad. : Ge x concluded and the time for work' having arrived, the routines again followed, and when the evening shades 'begin to fall the" men are once more in line and go through the same proceedings before receiving their ton, So far everything has been carrie on without. ~ room for criticism, But how about the food supplied y I it up to the standard or does it fa to the low level ascribed to it by an occasional former inmate of the pri son.

There should indeed be faithfulness and deep sense of duty. owed to the men at the helm as well as to the outside world, if a penal in- stitution is to undergo any advance- ment. From what canbe gleaned from men of long connection with the prison that faces the waters of Lake Ontario advancement has marked the nast few vears in every department of the in stitution so that the penitentiary of a few..years 'hack, would scarcely be recognized as the penitentiary of to- day, as changes have heen wrought in every imaginable way and, certain- ly, to the casual visitor. there now seems' little rdom for improvement.

As to the quality of the dishes mentioned, they are fit for | the best people to partake of so that as regards the articles given for the convicts' daily sustenance there appar o for fault ently can be little room finding, . From the little seen we must con clude that were the details of prison life which are not open to the gaze of visitors, uncovered everything would be found in a remarkably high state of efficiency and instead of the institu-, tion and its workings being condemn( ed it should in for unstinted praise. Of course this merely applies to what may be observed by any vis itor lucky enough to be allowed with in the gates, but it is from what one observes only that conclusions can be drawn. Naturally the innermost work ings of the penitentiary as of any public op private enterprise, are not open for inspection and were they there might possibly be much to crith cize. However they are not and so the writer can only give the opinions for mulated by the revdations of one ghown about the institution as any visitor would = be wha secured the necessary permission. Would the com- plaints of jex-eonvicts originate from the channels more zealously guarded from public sight ? Possibly, but we are inclined to think nos and that if the truth were known &he trouble would be found to be largely of the prisoner's own making. Have you ever scen the ordinary pri soner's cell # It has undesgone some changes with the years. In by gone days the penitentiary wos open to in spection by anyone who would pay twenty-five cents to he shown about. J The dangers of such a condition are manifest and hence the relffietions of to-day. Likewise - with the advancing ideas along sanitary lines the views of officialdom have had fo conform to higher ideals and more modern ideas. As the twenty-five cont admission busi ness was abolished go likewise has the old dingy and unhealthy style of cell given place to a more habita tion. To illustrate the advancement in this respect it will be suffisient to note that in tne space which formerly eon- tained five tiers of celle under the re modelled building operations only four tiers are erected, while in the length, sub-divided into thirty cells under the old style, only eighteen are now heing placed, This change being considered what must be the inference if not that the health, eomfort, and betterment of the prisoner is not the primary con sideration when it can be ligitimately accomplished. The cells themselves are perfect in neatness, Of eourse thev are built of massive stone and well equipped with the necessary ar- rangements to prevent communication with persons beyond or any successful attempt at an escape. That is to be expected when one thinks of the na ture of the institution one is survey come 2 value ? wheat. you like them?." fresh, crisp, tasty. biscuits. te of metal and turns up beside the wall hen not in use. Besides these neces sities, the inmate is allowed his littio table and such few trinklets as con- form with the regulations. Every- thing is compact, neat, and tidy and it strikes one if such a standard wore maintained without the walls there would be fewer people find their way behind the bars. The bars, or rather let us say the barred doors. which close the prisoner in his cell are all locked simultaneously by an automa- tic, arrangement, but dt is so con- structed that should it become neces: sary to open one cell, this can be ae- complished without unlocking all. And in conclusion let us turn to the more aesthetic side. of the epnviét's Do you eat Biscuits for their food Mooney's Sodas contains all the nutriment of the finest Canadian Do you eat Biscuits «just because Mooney's Cream Sodas coméito your table appetizing, tempting, In either case, don't you want the most nutritious and most delicious MOONEY'S ARE BOTH. nature and see if we van draw ahy conclusions from our visit as to whe- ther it is boing cultivated or negleet- od. The answer comes in the affirma- tive. The Roman Catholic and the Protestant chapels are sepapate and a credit to the institution. They are in no wax different from an ordinary church and are in charge of their chaplains, who attend well to the spir- itual welfare of their respective flock, Services are held twice on Sunday and from those who have been privileged to attend many complimentary refer ences have, from time t& time, been made regarding the earnestness and enthusinem of the gatherings and the good results reflected therefrom upon the everyday life of the prisoners. Then there is the school room, which is in charge of competent officers and where the men can spend their moon hour, if they desire, to advance along the lines of learning. How dreary gloomy and long the life of a convict must be even when brightened by ov- ery thoughtfulness on the part of the authorities. The continual sameness dav after day must be a monotony most trying on the nerves of the con- fined. There is one favor granted him, however, though it may searcely be called a favor, for it is rather more of a necessity, or 'at least only a proper Tonicney. We refer to the prison library. It is comvlete for such a place and contains in the neighbor hood of 3,500 books, including the Int est work of fietion, science and his tory, The convict interested in read. ing .is allowed ample room. here to gratify his tastes, and elevate his ideals und no obstacle is placed in the wnv of his reading as much as possi ble and deriving the benefits to be se cured therefrom, Thus it will be seen from the brief deseriptions given of the prison amd its inner working that the task of controlling the institution is no sine cure. To attend to every detail,' to supply constant work for the conviets the vear round, and at the same time to in no way neglect any opportunity for their betterment, ean be no light task and to the officer who has an ideal of the duty to which he is called there must he constant opportunity for the employment of good judg ment. In the face of everything to find the prison in the state it is, ! nothing if not ereditable to those in charge and cannot but be the one and indisputable denial to many of the distorted acccounts of the work carried on which from time to time are given the public in the most vio lent eriticisms of the institution. geems TO RUIN HIS RIVAL. Scheme is Discovered, and He is Sent to Prison. Zurich, July 28.--A villainous plot conceived by a Zurich peasant named Stahbli to ruin his rival, Zimmerman, with whom he had a deadly feud, has just come to light. The other evening, Stahli emptied his revolver into the wooden walls of his barn, and, after burying the wera pon, went to the police station and told the officers, that Zimmerman had attempted to murder him, Zimmerman was arrested, and the police gearched his house, but could not find the revolver with which he was alleged to have committed the of- fense. Stahli's house was then search- «dl, and a bullet 'was found in a box. On contparison with those found im bedded in the wood of the barn, it was seen to be identical. Stahli was then arrested. Under cross-examination he broke down and confessed the plot.
