1t Is very probable that the educa-
tionai influences at the state prison will
reach the pretentions of Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific circle, the estab-
ment of such body there being COM
mended by FL. 81. Hart, secretary of the
state board of charities and corrections,
who writes to the warden, in course Of a
letter received yesterday, recommend
ing E. P. Penniman as the proper per-
son to establish circle in the warden's
Jurisdiction. The secretary says the
circle 'has been adopted in several state
prisons for considerable portion of the
cCnvicts. It is in use in Connecticut
and Massachusetts,, believe. This plan
is adapted to a number of men who
are too far advanced to work to advan-
tage in a primary school. 1t can be car
ried on mainly in the cells and is very
attractive and profitable to man who
has any ambition, and l think it could
be made valuable auxiliary to your
school work. Warden Randall there
upon wrote to Mr.. Penniman. inviting
that gentleman to visit the prison and
look over the field, which he will be per-
mitted to cultivate. The warden is also in
receipt of a letter fromMaj. L M. Newson,
Offering to deliver before the prisoners
in the chapel one of his entertaining
lectures. The major is great favorite
with the inmates and equally well liked
by the officials. His offer was cordially
accepted and he will come at an early
date not yet fixed.

cest, committed with his fourteen-year-
old daughter, an attractive girl, and
who became well known during her

happily with his wife. He removed
