MALODOROUS MEN
Oscar Wilde picking oakum in Wormwood Scrubbs—Taylors takes it easy.
London, June 2 — Oscar Wilde will serve his two years sentence in Wormwood Scrubbs prison. The prison doctors affirm that his heart is weak, and he has, therefore not yet been placed on the treadmill, but he has been compelled to pick oakum. His health is broken and he hardly sleeps. Taylor takes prison life in a lighter manner. Certain low class papers clamor for the arrest and trial for the well known associates of Cocoa, as Taylor is nicknamed. The police actually arrested several persons, but they were afterwards liberated, the government being unwilling to create any further social malodor.
