The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1890-08-14
TO THE PUBLIC.

THE PRISON MIRROR is a weekly paper pub
lished in the Minnesota state prison. All matter
published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates. except that properly credited. Its sup
port must come from the outside as every inmate
is given paper without cost. 1t is published in
the interest Of the prison library and after paying
for the printing outfit contributed $3.50 to the
library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-
courage individual intellectual effort, provide a
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other
PRISONS and. above all, to acquaint the outside
world with the needs of the prison by rejecting
its inner life and thus aid the Of moral ad-
vancement and prison reform.
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1890-08-14

chiefly we are. of course, indebted for the
means by which the paper has been con-
tinued. but without the advertising given
us by the merchants of Saltwater, we could
not have come out clear of debt. Next to
these are our many friends, the newspapers,
who have given us the moral support of
their mighty endorsement. And lastly, the
present Management of the prison is sin
cerely thanked for it's uniform good treat
ment of THE PRISON MIRROR.

That Major T. M. Newson is dearly loved
by those who have had the pleasure of his
acquaintance is shown by the way the peo-
pie of St. Paul have treated him on the eve
of his departure to foreign land. He
has been banqueted repeatedly and the
press of Minnesota has had more kind
words for him than any other citizen of the
state. He has earned this honor by life
of labor, and kindness to everyone of high
or low estate. We understand that the
Major will start on the 18th inst. for his post
of United States Consul, at Malaga. Spain.
Bon voyage.

John Boyle O'Reilly, the Irish patriot.
author, editor. poet and orator. died sud-
denly last Sunday evening at his summer
home at Nantasket Beach, Mass. An &C.
cidental dose of poison is supposed to have
been the cause of his death. Mr.. O'ReiIly
was one of the most remarkable men of the
nineteenth century, and his history shows
what seemingly insurmountable obstacles
may be overcome by energy and persever-
ance. He was born in Ireland in 1914, and
at the age of fourteen he entered printing
office where he learned to set type, and after
wards became reporter for several English
journals. At the age of nineteen he enlisted
in the English army with the secret purpose
of propagating revolutionary principles.
he was detected, convicted of high treason
and sentenced to death. The sentence was
committed and he spent several years i'm
different English prisons and was finally
transported to Australia. After two years
in Australia he escaped to sea in an open
boat, was picked up by an American ship
and landed in Philadelphia Nov. 80, 1869.
His literary productions have been extern
sively read in this country, and he has lect-
ured in nearly every principal city in the
Union. In 1870 he became connected with
the Boston Pilot of which he was editor
and principal owner at the time Of his death.

The necessary amount was easily raised,
the material was purchased, and after much
trouble, many Mistakes and some correc-
tions the first number of The PRISON MIR
RoR was, on the 10th day of August, 1887.
presented to an expectant community and a
curious public. Schoonmaker was editor of
the first two issues, when w. F. Mirick as
sumed the editorship and management of
the paper. (The sentence of SchOOnmaker
had been shortened by the governor so that
he went out few days later.) Of the fif-
teen men who became share holders, but
five remain in the prison. Of the others,
three were pardoned; and three have died
Bob Younger. Walter Mutt, and George
Anderson. Only one of the remaining four
is known to be in prison again, and this
one is Landers who escaped from here and
is now serving out ten years sentence in
prison in Germany.
Mr.. Mirick conducted the paper just one
year when he was pardoned, since which
time the editors names have not appeared
in the paper. The present editor has had
charge now nearly Two years ana mas Doen
with the Office since the start.
Financially the paper has not been as
successful as desired, for it was hoped that
we might begin this year with new type;
but thus far the expenses have just about
equaled the income. If we are successful
in getting in outstanding subscriptions we
NAV be able to give the paper new dress
of type within the next three months.
In conclusion we wish to thank all those
who have contributed in any way to the
success of the paper. To our subscribers

to- the public, which appeared in the
first issue, Mr.. Stordock said: ''THE PRISON
MIRROR is now before you. If it shall
prove failure then the blame must all rest
on me. If it shall be success then all the
credit must be given to the boys who have
done all the work. 1t was necessary to
have my consent before the experiment could
be tried, and therefore 1 am responsible for
the venture. 1 hope and believe that a
generous public will give THE MIRROR all
the encouragement it shall deserve; and as
it does not cost the state anything, and only
the prison library can be benefited, the peo-
pie will, feel sure. bid it God speed.
*** Encourage our little enterprise if
you can, criticise us if you must, but please
do it kindly and fairly" He has had to
bear no blame from the public either for
permitting the paper or for it's failure, and
good long subscription list and more than
five hundred testimonials from lawyers,
judges, business men, prelates, authors,
teachers, and the press show that the encOur-
agement asked for has not been withheld.
Now few words of the boys in stripes
who started THE PRISON MIRROR. The
scheme originated in the brain of Lew p.
SchoOnmaker to start prison paper with
money advanced by inmates of the prison,
and after obtaining the Warden's consent
he circulated the following document:
AGREEMENT OF THE SHARE HOLDERS OF
THE PRISON MIRROR
July, IL, 1887.
II. G. STORDOCK, Warden.
We the undersigned do hereby voluntarily loan
to the trust fund" for the purpose of starting a
prison paper, under the management of Lew P.
Schoonmaker, the following sums opposite our re-
spective Names said sums to be replaced to our
several credits with interest thereon, at the rate
of three per cent per month, from the first earn
ings of said paper, and when full amount of
said loan with due interest thereon is so
refunded and paid to our private accounts
in prison Office, our claims upon the stock,
material and shares Of said paper. shall
cease and said stock, material and shares of
said paper. become the property of the prison
library, and part and parcel thereof and the net
profits of said paper shall be devoted exclusively
to the prison library in the purchase Of such books
and periodicals us the Warden may select; and we
hereby pray that you will accept this and consider
the same an order to pay the said respective sums
opposite our names, to the treasurer Of said pa
per, Mr.. Geo. p. Dodd, and charge the same to
our several accounts.
