Prisoners.
In the center of the great prison
yard , writes a Jolicl correspondent of
The St. Louis U lobe-Democrat , i.tis ls a
P'juil5arly-shipccl fr.aine building with : i
white roof , an object of much curiosity
to prison visitors , who usk to know
what the placu is used for.
This building contains two rooms ,
the Iront one being use : ! as u loafing
place for extra guards while off duty.
Its walls are completely covered with a
mc-illey of illustrations , thousands of
them , that have been cut from such
papers and periodicals as Puck , The
Judge , Harper's and Leslie's , and other
journals. The clippings are neatly cut
and pasted to the wall , by an ingenious
little negro convict , who has charge of
* O
the place as "trust } ' . " A door in one
corner leads to another room on the
north this room has high , bare , white
walls , excepting an immense sky-light ,
wh.eh covers one-half of the ceiling.
This is the prison photographic Itu-
dio , wherein are registered the form
and. features of every prisoner that is
sent to the Joliet prison , no matter
what b'j his degree of crime. In this
room he must take his place before the
lightn.ng camera of the prison artist.
The room is iitteil up with screens and
curtains for reflecting the 1-ght down
upon a chair , which is fastened .solidly
to the floor directly beneath the sky
light. The rays of light arc so strong
that , should a prisoner prove unruly
during the operation of having his pict
"
ure taken , the artist , at a "favorable
moment , can catch the truthful expres
sion of a man's features in the hun-
tlrcdth part of a second by simply
pressing a button attached to the ca
mera , which loosens the drop-shutter ,
causing it to Hash across the lens. The
rc-iilt .s an instantaneous portrait. S.
\V. Wettmore , a&Mstunt clerk of the
prison , is the photographer , who takes
the convict piclure&T and o far as san
be ascertained he enjoys the distinction
of being the only exclusive prison pho-
lographer in the world. _ The aulnori-
ties of several oilier prisons in this
country have recently commenced pho
tographing their prisoners , but call in
an outside photographer to take the
pictures. On Jan. 1. 1SS-1 , "Warden Mc-
Claughry commenced having the pict
ures of all new arrivals taken in order
to make the prii > on records more com
plete , and to furnish a reliable method
tor the luture identification of profes
sional criminals and escaped convicts.
The process in use at the pr son is
the be > t that science has yet invented in
modern photography. The wet-plate
process , is too slow and a thing of the
past , and so are dry-plates , so far as
prison photography is concerned. The
Eastman paper negative and roller-
holder process is used exclusively at the
prison. The roll of paper" is prepared
inthe _ same manner as u glass dry plate
i. e. , the gelat no silver emulsion is
spread on the paper. The roll is then
placed in a holder , with a w.ndiug key
at one end and an empty-spool to re -
ceive the exposed paper at the other
? ud of the holder , the paper first pass
ing behind the lens , and , as each pic
ture is taken , --wound on the empty
spool. In this way one roll of East
man's paper answers the purpose of
n.net\--cight glass dry plates , 4x5 inches
til size , for making cabinet pictures
or , in other words the artist can make
5he negatives of ninety-eight people in
succession without once leaving the
aide of hs camera. The paper is then
cut into the right lengths , developed ,
fixed , and printed from , just the same
as a dry plate , but the paper is oiled
after development , to render it trans
parent
The photographic dark room at the
prison is situated in the warden's
house , where the convict negatives are
? arefiilly filed away and indexed. Be
fore filing two prints are made from
sach negative. One copy is given to
the receiving and discharging oflicer of
'he prison , for the purpose of identifi
cation , and the other is placed in the
holograph cabinet iu the warden's of
fice , which already contains nearly two
thousand convict's portraits. In case
of an escape the negative of the fugi
tive is at once hunted up and in a few
flours' time several hundred copies of
the man's photograph will be sent
broadcast through the mails for his re
capture.
A quick way of duplicating the photo
graphs now in use at the prison is by
the bromide of silver paper process.
No sunlight is needed the printing is
done by a gas-jet in the dark room
two seconds exposure is snflicient the
print is then developed and fixed. In
this manner five hundred copies can be
made from a single negative in one day.
It is a , fact that no escaped convict
from Joliet has been able to retain his
liberty when his negative was on the
lie at the prison. His picture sent
broadcast by the authorities has always
been the means of his recapture.
William Pile escaped from prison
jWO years ago. lie kept in the coun
try , shunning towns and highways
antil he had been gone for several
weeks , finally hiring out as a farm
hand way down in central Illinois.
One day soon after his employer sent
him to town after a load of drain tile ,
giving him an order on the station
agent for the tile. Pile went to the
Station and presented his order , but
the moment the station agent laid his
eyes upon the man he thought of a
photograph of an escaped convict he
had received several weeks before.
He took the picture from his pocket
and it fitted him exactly. The agent
had Pile arrested and returned to Joliet ,
receiving the reward oflered for his re
capture. This was the first town Pile
had entered since his fl ght from the
prison.
It was your correspondent's good
fortune to "visit the prison on a recent
date while tlve nrisou artist was engag
ed iu taking the pictures of 152 new ar
rival ? , convicts who had arrived dur-
inir July and August , and of witness
ing tl'e"modus operand ? of reproducing
their "mugs" ' on paper. Everything
was in readiness at 9:30 A. M. The
Ertst handed a 1 st of names to a guard
requested him to bring iu a gang
of thirty or forty new convicts from
the cliair-sliop. The oflicer soon had
tho ri\v recniiLs in l > ne and marched
them across llm yard to the gallery ,
where the } " wore bcatod on a bcfich
along the wall in the wilor rooiu. Capt.
Lukii , the receiving oilicur , then took
the list of names , and entering the op
erating-room where all was ready , the
camera and chair in position called
'
out the na'mti of the first man on the
list , and tho gnard , picking out that
man , hustled him into the room.
"Sit right down here. What's yer
name ? What's yer register number ?
See that little red star on the wall ?
Place yer eyes on that end don't move
till I tell yer hold , up that head a lit
tle. "
While this volley was being fired into
the ears of the trembling convict , the
captain grabbed the man by the shoul
ders squared him back in the chair ,
yanked his head around in the direction
of the fatar on the wall , chucked him un
der the chin to elevate his head , and
then pulling around a wooden arm at
tached to the head-rest , and containing
a place in which to put some paste
board figures to represent the prison
number of theconvict , pushed it up
against the man's chest , so that the
number would show in the resulting
picture. All these manipulations were
gone through with in a moment's time ,
and then came the ominous "click of
the instantaneous shutter on the came
ra the exposure was completed. A
second later and the captain veils :
Xcxt ! "
And in comes another victim. The } '
follow each other in rapid succession ,
like sheep coming to a shearing.
The faces that came before the came
ra during the few hours your correspon
dent was present would"have been a
study for the study of human nature ,
especially if he had a penchant for phys
iognomy.
Criminals of all ages from the boy of
15 to the gray-haired old offender of 80 ;
the sly pickpocket , the dangerous bur
glar , the sc eiitific safe-blower , the
adroit sneak-thief , the clever confidence
bilk , the embezzling clerk , the man
with too many Wives , and the red-hand
ed murderer , all were there , with sen
tences ranging from one year to the
life term. The } ' all had to face the ca
mera though much against their will
and leave their features recorded
there.
Try It Yourself Awhile.
Nothing is easier than to borrow n
newspaper from a friend , examine it
with a jaundiced eye , and set it aside
as a worthless thing that "doesn't
pay. "
To please , entertain , and enlarge the
range of public thought at the same
time is a diflicult task , yet it is demand
ed by the reading world , and if the fas
tidious claims are not fully mcr , the
seal of condemnation is affixed , and the
large expenditure of the hazardous trial
falls upon him who has been so rash as
to launch his all upon the perilous sea
of popular opinion.
Let those who criticise newspapers
try the experiment of editing one before
they pass a wholesale censure upon the
shortcoming of such adventures. Let
them empty their purses to the last
available penny tax their brains night
ly for the matter that is to ensure de
feat or success plod daily the same
monotonous , irksome round of duty ,
and after all this be denounced and ridi
culed ; if this docs not cure the carping
spirit , such disease is beyond the con
trol of remedies.
We say to all such grumblers , invest
in a newspaper yourself if you desire
sure gains , sound sleep , anti-dyspeptic
tendencies , and a perfect exemption
from invidious comment. In one twelve
month you will learn more of th little
worries of life more of the caprices of
popular favor more of the treachery of
the masses , and the pitiable lack of hu
man generosity and charity than you
would learn in a lifetime in another
enterprise. Try it , and you'll wear the
thorny crown of humility before you are
a } -ear older ; and the starch will be ta
ken out of your self-esteem to harmon
ize with 3"our general surround ngs.
We expect too much of our weeklies ;
they must g.ve all the current news of
the day social , political and. ecclesias-
trcal and enlarge on every little item
that may eiil st our svmpathy or elicit
our interest. The original matter must
be of the highest standard , and the
selections such as the finest taste ap-
jfove5 ? ; there must be nothing common
place , hackneved or dull , and novelty
and excitement must keep alive an un-
llajrging interest , and all this pandering
to the public palate is not to cost the
paltry sum of live cents a week.
Though our journalists are with a
few exceptions , general benefactors ,
giving the largest amount of useful in
formation at the smallest cost , counsel
ling and admonishing when danger
threatens , offering remedies for ev 1 ,
and guarding with ceaseless and faith
ful vigilance every avenue where the
pubLc happiness , prosperity or liberty
is imperilled , they are. in the main ,
the most poorly recompensed of any
class of publ c servants.
Should u newspaper fail to meet your
views and taste , lay it aside , repressing
all denunciation , remember that your
own performances are more faulty un
der smaller extenuating circumstances.

We are one people , after all.
We have had our differences and we
fought them out. Jarring politics and
coullictiug opious will always exist and
cause more or less bickering. We must
expect all that.
But "one touch of nature makes all
the world kin. " When genuine distress
strikes one section , when a great ca
lamity befalls it , then we realize how
closely we are knit together3j the
bonds of brotherhood and sympathy.

Power Ijoonis vt , . 58aii l Weaving ; .
The cotton goods industry offers , per
haps , as striking an illustration as any of
the apparent displacement of labor , a Del
aware house considering that the displace
ment has been seventeen per cent outside
of motive power. By a hand loom a
weaver usedto * weave from sixty to eighty
picks per minute inweaving a cloth of good
quality , with twenty threads of twist to
each one-quarter scmarct inch. A power
loom now weaves 180 picks ier minute of
the same kind of cloth. Even in power
machinery a weaver formerly tended but
one loom. Now one weaver minds all the
way from two to ten looms , according to
the grade of goods. In a large establish
ment in New Hampshire improved ma
chinery , even within ten years , has reduced
muscular labor fifty per cent in the produc
tion of the same quality of goods.
Ever since the Michigan Central Railroad
was built it has been a favorite with the
traveling public , because its roadbed was
smooth , its cars elegant , and its service
admirable , but since the road built a new
bridge across the Niagara river below the
falls , and a station called Falls Fiew , right
beside the horse-bhoe falls , everybody wants
to go that way. Many people cannot stop
at Niagara Falls , from one train to another ,
and they never could see enough of the
Falls from the old bridge to amount to
anything , but now , by the new "Falls
Route" of the Michigan Central , they can
stand on a high bluff for ten minutes , right
above the seething boiling cauldron , and
see more of the falls in that time than the-
could to stop over for a day. From ' 'Falls
View" station the Michigan Central give ?
its passengers the most beautiful view to
be seen on this earth. There may be more
beautiful views on some other earth , but
no railroad runs there yet. Geo. W. Peck

A curious incident with a touch ofpathos
in it occurred yesterday morning at the
corner of Clark and Washington streets.
As Henry Howard stepped from the street
car something in the voice of a bootblack
who hailed him attracted him. Turning
around , hewas both startled and delighted
to recognize in the gamon his own son. who
had run away from his home in Virginia
City , Nev. , about a year ago. "Tom , my
boy ! " lie exclaimed , as he advanced to em
brace the youth. The latter , looking
frightened , rushed through the crowd and
has not been seen since. The father , who
was on his way home from New York , will
remain here , with the hope that with the
aid of the police Tom may be found. He is
known ' among his companions as Tommy
McGinnis , and is 15 years of age. Chicago
