As has already been stated in our columns
Massachusetts returns to the use OF the Old
prison at Charestown for state prison prop
er, while the newer prison at Concord is to be
used for reformatory design Of the law
establishing this institu ton being to separate
conyicts susceptible OF reform from hardened
and professional criminals. Under the law
the courts will send convicts to the reforms-
tory under long sentences, and leave il with
the authorities to release them on probation
at discretion The convic, is thus furnished
with the strongest motive to behave well TO
acquire g trade and to manifest serious pur-
pose Of reform The Massachusetts commits
siouers Of prisons have established in the re-
formatory separate department for men
sentenced for hsbitual drunkenness, where
they will be Kept under proper restraint, CON.
PEELED to work, and given Il chance to develop
their will power, while they will be saved
from the stigma Of prison life. The institu-
ton is evidently wise and humane move.

ART RECEPTION.

The art reception given yesterday after
noon by Mrs. w. T. Stem, at her studio on
Lawrence avenue two blocks south OF
Douglas, was largely attended by those of
our citizens who take more or less interest
in works of this kind. Her studio present
ed very beautiful appearance, the walls
on either side being handsomely embel-
lshed with pictures, mostly from the brush
of her pupils, OF whom she now has about
twenty. During the last few months Mrs.
STEMS scholars have made wonderful pro-
gress, some Of them having developed the
real genius of the artist. Miss Lizzie
Means has on exhibition a very pretty
panel of roses as also has Harry Smith.
A moonlight scene by Mrs. W. \. Dean at
tracted much attention, as did porcelain
plaque of roses by Miss Eva Mossbacker
Mrs. Sherman's winter and summer scenes
were very fine. Miss Matte Fabrique's
black and white scene on tile elected very
favorable criticism. Miss Clara Lynch's
panel and banner, came in for its share OF
attention, a. also did Miss Mossie
Baldwin's mirror with rOses-in fact we
might go on through the long list of all
those who had products OF their brush
on exhibition, but space viii not permit.
With few If any exceptions, the display
was highly creditable not alone to the pu-
pills but to Mrs. Stem, whom our readers
are well aware is a very excellent artist rs
well as thorough instructre Possessing
that peculiar faculty of imparting to others
knowledge that she possesses. The results
oF her labors must be highly gratifying to
all concerned, and it will pay any one. par
ticularly the ladies TO visit her studio and
view her many choice works of art. The
and Mrs. Stem will be pleased to welcome
any one who will favor her with call.

Mr.. sol II. kohn writes Judge +. b.
Jewett under date Of July Both, from New
York city, denying the rumor lately cur
rent in Wichita that he had turned Demo
crat and would vote for Cleveland. He says
that he will not only vote for Blaine and
Logan, but great number of Irishmen
working in his steel works who have been
life long Democrats, are openly for Blaine
and Logan. In another place in his letter
he says: "ltis allbosh about the business
men Of New York being against Blaine and
Logan. They are strong with the great
body of business men who are afraid OF the
old Democratic party and its English free
trade ideas and record. The business men
here very well understand that IL would be
impossible for MIR. Cleveland to rise above
the Democratic party or the men who
elected him. Even in this state he utterly
failed of his promised reforms because Of
the men who made him."
