CHAM ERALD reporter happened iii AZ
the Kent county jail. The ilfst prs

Standsh. Ia language the most re-
/ specttul and subdued, yet IA language
OF stern eaTnestnesS, the reporter Nas

SINS. Bat that is Cf no consequence

utterly foriOrn situation. He IS IN jail
on the complaint OF hlS VIE, Mho
makes no other charge IN the woria
than that he wrote her a letter whicn
violated certain postal laws Of the
/ United States. Standish was put into
lali six weeks ago, and At that time ne
was a plump individual OF ls0 pounds
weight. lie has languished uaul ne
n4s lost at least twenty-five pounds.
Ae states that PRISON iare IS
bringing him low. lie yearns for
o change OF clothing. The atmosphere
of the iail corridor. is simply suif0cat-
ing after the stones and IRON become
Esurcharged with the heat OF the last
few DAYS. The water which the prlcon-
ters have to drink Is warm and not
ftasteless. There was 10 complaint
hagalnst the sheriff and hIs family. The
tpIsoners made no alluslon to any hard
ship except what Is incident, newt
Iably, to captive's lie. lie told has
story to human being simply because
he bad human being before hlm 10
whom ms story could be told. lie SAID
Enothing of the horrors OF hls loneA-
ness, OF the longings of heart, because
those Tefinements of torture the mascu-
line nature feels bound, superstitlously
TO conceal. The reporter left the jail
with heart heavy with the thought OF
what tile humane world could be IN
duced TO do to soften the Imprisonment
of men, especially Of those not yet con
ylcted of crime.
The TELEGRAM-HERALD Office is not a
stones throw from the Salvation Army
barracks. Last night unusual groan
ings were waited out from the windows
on the opposite side of the street. The
reporter went over. He went out OF {
feeling of respect for all things tina
purport to he serious. ID front of tn,
platform was an unusual massng ol
soldiery. One conspicuous tenal,
voice sustained itself above the sur
rounding tumult IN accents plalntlye
pleading, commanding, dcsperatel,
agonlzed. The congregation looked
serious, the usners and hangers-on haS
: 2 look of familiar solemnity, like tina
on the faces of auxiliary doctors anC
nurses who know that the prospective
! mothers danger is not half so conse
duential as their wise look OF judicial
mindedness on an awful occasion
Amid the din the reporter looke'
closer.
"Take hold now, soldiers Once more
z Take hold! Take hold"
Instantaneousiy the awful shouts an
. groans and pleadings increased IN vO
ume of sound infinitely, while the IN
| terest at the central point increase
s proportionately. The eporteradvance

persons were IN accOuchment IN whor
new births were about to occur.
