Has Undergone Improvements A Whig Representative Finds It Bright and Clean-The Equipment Very Satisfactory-Dr. W. G. Anglin Is Doing Good Work. * Since the appointment of Warden Ponsford and Dr. W. G. Anglin to the staff of Portsmouth penitentiary many improvements have been ef- fected. It was in the late spring that they took office and they state that before any publicity had been direct- ed to the conditions alleged to exist in the institution they began to plan new devices for the comfort and wel- fare of the men incarcerated. On Monday a representative of the Whig visited the institution and re- quested permission to inspect 'the hospital in view of the deplorable conditions, alleged to exist in that department. The request was imme- diately granted by Warden Ponsford, and in company with Dr. Anglin the representative was shown every nook and cranny of the building. He had an opportunity to converse with con- victs confined to hospital and noted the ordinary administration in -ed- fect. While it is possible that condl- tions some time ago were not of the best, it can be stated that the hospi- tal is now being better managed. The hospital, concerning which there has been so much controversy and dispute of later is situated in the southeast side of the grounds and is exposed to the atmosphere on four sides with light streaming in at all the windows. The building waa con- structed over half. a century ago when modern ideas of hospital con veniences and unknown. improvements' were Instead of being a smelly building, it is completely free from foul odors and by a double system of ventilation each room and the cor- ridors are bright and airy. The front entrance leads into a large hall where a convict clerk makes records of all men confined in the institution The dressing room contains neces- sary equipment for the treatment of minor cases including electric steri- lizers, sanitary basins, dressings and so forth. All the treatment rooms in the hospital are in spotless white and the walls and floors were shining. In several parts of the hospital con- victs were engaged in cleaning the floors. In the dispensary, which is in charge of A. D. MacConnell, formerly a captain in No, 1 Field Ambulance overseas, and A. N. Raven who has had long experience as a dispenser, can be seen a complete assortment of necessary drugs. It is to this room that any convicts who are ill may ap- ply for treatment and the represen: tative of the Whig was present," un- known to the convicts, while they were examined by the doctor who vi- sits the hospital twice a day. Prepa- rations for the treatment of their ail- ments are expeditiously made by the attendants and no convict is permit- ted to leave without careful atten- tion being give to his case. It ap- peared also that the most cleanly methods of treatment were utilized. Individual tongue depressors, 'spu- tum cups and other appliances neces- sary for the examination of the pri- soners are used and quantities suffi- cient for several years' use are on hand at the institution. , dirty Secures Everything Needed. The representative of the Whig was shown the quantities of drugs on hand Dr. Anglin stated that since he had taken charge of the hospital |. he had had no difficulty in securing anything and everything he needed for his work. The government had purchased large supplies of surplus medical material brought back from the war and at the present time all drugs and medicines necessary for ths treatment of the prisoners are provided. Behind a barred door, wiseh leads into: a middle corridor eight feet wide, is the casualty ward where mi- nor cases are treated, On each side of this corridor 'are rows of cells where hospital patients are confined. There arp twenty-four cells on this floor and each one is lighted from the win- dows that are about four feet from the open bar doors, of the indivi- dual cells. Were the hospital to be constructed today, it is probable that instead of having a middle corridor with two outside corridors and the cells between these corridors, the rooms would be placed next to the windows. However, there is little cause for complaint in the matter of light andl air as fresh air circulates around the halls and into the-ecells with perfect freedom and the double ventilating system keeps the .atmos- phere pure at all times. The light-| ing, too, appears to be sufficient and | a number of the convicts were read- | ing in bed when the representative of the Whig passed through. Each cell is supplied with a cot and fresh sheets and blankets when | the latter are necessary. There is al- so a small stand and table in the | rooms. Several of the convicts who were convalescing were walking in the corridor--a freedom which is greatly enjoyed. On the second floor there is an- other ward laid out on the same ge- uveral principles as the first floor ex- cept that the cells are twice as large. On this floor patients confined on account of more serious illnesses are treated and their rooms are bright and airy. Individual electric lights are provided in every room, and diet and temperature records can be read at the door of each of the cells. The case records are retained by Capt. MoConnell in his office as there | might be a tendency on the part of | the convicts Yo ascertain the nature | of their comrades' illnesses or ail- | ments. Convicts Questioned. Out of any attendant's hearing, the representative of the Whig was able to question the men concerning their treatment and they appeared to be well satisfied that everything was being done for them that was possible. The diets ordered by the doctor are provided on separate trays from the penitentiary kitchen, and individual bed trays are also supplied to sick patients. No claim is made by Dr. Anglin that the hospital is the equal of any hospital, because the conditions and iimitations that obtain in a peniten- tiary are not to be found in other in- stitutions. For instance, it is not pos- sible or desirable to place beds side by side as in the ward of a city hos- pital because of the possibility of es- cape. The custody of the prisoners is the first consideration and it must be remembered that the unfortuna- tes are incarcerated by orders of judges who are appointed because they can mete out justice tempered with such mercy as may be advis- able. Crimes against law and order and the peace of the social body must be punished, and while the convicts are in the institution it is the duty of the warden and the officers of the penitentiary' to take all precautions lest the men attempt to escape. As it was, the representative of the Whig saw where two bars had been sawed through by a patient on the second floor some time ago in an attempt to escape. The whole ambition of many of those incarcerated seems to be to leave the institution as soon as-pos- sible by fair means or foul, ang it is not possible to rely too much upon their honor as is evidenced by the escape of two "trusties" on Saturday. Such being the case, cells have to be provided. The cells are neat and clean'and well ventilated and light- ed. The bedding is all that could be desired and the equipment in the rooms is very suitable. On, Monday some of the cells were being repainted and screens are be- ing brought for the windows. The lavatories, while quite sanitaty and modern, were being refitted with tile and painted white. Operating Facilities, The operatipg room is a bright sunny room {n° the southeast corner of the building. Through the win- dows on two sides of the room the sun was shining, and was reflected on the pure white walls. The operat- ing room appeared to be well equip- ped with instruments and tables. El- ectric and alcohol sterilizers are pro- vided, as well as many glass top ta- bles which can b@ readily cleaned. All of the equipment is of metal and amelled white. Operating i hes, basins and other necessary equipment are provided and in a white cabinet. on the wal] are kept the instruments and dressings ne- cessary for operations. In the centre of the room is a modern Arnold ope- rating table and, in addition, in the digpensary there is a smaller table where patients may be examined, +» No complaint was heard from con- victs that they were neglected, and it was stated that disciplinary officers makee the rounds of the wards every hour from six o'clock until nine; o'clock in the everiing and every fifty | minutes thereafter. nol TWICE TOLD TALES 'News of Kingston TEN YEARS AGO, 'Retailers defeated -Printers in a baseball game by ten rums to two.

Leese eseretttnines WORTHY OF THE MOVIES. i The pursuit after the the 5 young convicts who escaped from the provincial penitentiary at Portsmouth was so thrilling that it is expected the movie companies will endeavor to re- produce it. The bursting of a tire in the pursuers' car when within half a mile of their prey, the convicts stopping in a yard at a village to secure more gaso- line while one of the guards' tars passed on, the attempt of a farmer to stop the convicts' car by throwing a fence rail across adway, the deserting of warden's car by the convicts thei: use of a handear on C.
