there are many people who would rather be
shocked and Mortified than be entertained
IN any other manner And this sombre dis
play at the fair will be one of the most in
structive Of them all, for it will show the
progress which humanity has made in the
quality of mercy.
The exhibit to which 1 refer is now in
preparation under the direction Of the Ma
tional Prison association, which recently
held its convention in Pittsburg. 1t is the
purpose of the association to show more
completely than was ever done In the world
before the development of appliances and
methods for the treatment of criminals.
Ex-President Hayes will officially open
to the public this remarkable exhibit, and
by this act will at the same time inaugurate
the first session of the International Prison
congress ever held in America. The mos,
distinguished men in this field of endeavor
throughout the world will be present, and
the facilities afforded them for observation
and study will reflect credit upon the coun-
try which invites them.
The idea of adding this remarkable ex-
hibit to the attractions of the fair was first
suggested to the commissioners by the Rev
Francis Milligan, now secretary of the n a
tional Prison association. Mr.. Milligan
was known during the late unpIeasantness
as the lighting parson of Pennsylvania y
