He says the jail is a breeding place for crime and disease. "The number goes on increas- ing" he added, "and will increase, and we can do nothing, but simply pack them in wherever we have a aquare inch of space. If there was fonce a blaze started here every soul would be burned like a cock- reach, and the holocaust would be the worst which would have ever happened in Canada. "YT tell you I cannot sleep at nights wondering what is going to happen. I am beset by fears on every side, Discipline is suffering, for we cannot handle our prisoners with conditions as they are at pre- sent. How can we? or how can we try to use reformatory methods un- der such conditions? Instead of sending our prisoners back to so- ciety repentant and determined to become good citizens, they are leaving here, if possible, worse than when they entered. Vice is ram- pant in the jail; you have no idea of what goes on, it is the worst of all the terribly difficult problems with which we have to deal, but we cannot stop it, we cannot apply any remedies, for we have not got them to apply." ---- TO REFOREST.

Fleet of foot and as wary as -- an untamed beast, he never allow- ed his fellowmen to approach him, At the sight of a human being he in- -- variably vanished in the dense bush, He was finally captured after a des perate struggle by Canadian Paci-® fic Railway Constable Ball, of this city, and a Dominion constable of Ignace, He had existed during the four years on raw fish, rabbits and fowl, which he snared or killed with - stones or clubs. In the house na- ture had fashioned for him were found only a pile of dry leaves, two or three dried skins, and a pile of stones. ----t first clears, $2.95 to $3.35; second jclears, $1.95 to $2.55.

PEARS OF BUBONIC PLAGUE Europe Cannot Be Infected Save Through Criminal Carelessness. A despatch from Paris says: Dr. Burnet of the Faculty of Paris Uni- versity, who has made a special |study of the bubonic plague, af- 'firms that the sole means of pre- venting its spread from Manchuria to Europe is by isolation. Dr. Elie Metchinikoff of the Pas- teur Institute is of the same opin- ion, and, by showing the possibility of successfully isoiating the plague, he is prompt to reassure the French pimlic, which has lately been watch- ing the reports from Eastern Asia with considerable apprehension. He adds pzvt even the frightful mortality in Manfhuria is, in fact, a safeguard for Eufo,e, for the rea- son that the plague é@ Ses to ad- vance only when it ceases. }© find material upon which to feed with» in its immediate reach. Dr. Bure" net says on this head: "The greater the number of quick deaths from the plague the smaller the number of perambulat- ing victims of the plague. - It ix from the latter that the world at large has most to fear. The work of the European physicians who ar@ fighting the plague in Manchuria -- is more sanitary than medical. "In spite of the speedy. commir nication of the 'Trans-Siberian Railway,'"' concludes Dr. Burnet, | "Europe will not be infected un- less it is done through absolutely criminal carelessness. The very character of the plague, together with ou~ modern sanitary orgapig ations, protects us'? Bee rec
