The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1892-12-15

Warden Wolfer returned from his trip to
Baltimore. visiting several of the Eastern prisons
on his way back. The meeting of the Prison
congress was one of great interest. Next week
shall take pains to give in detail, if possible
full particulars of the meeting.
Sign boards now decorate the entrance of
the Barber Shop, Cell House, Library and Print
ing Office, and the Hospital. Just what was
needed" every one says. The visitor will now
be.easily lead to the office of THE MIRROR to
drop his one hundred cOppers for years. sub
scriptiOn to the greatest paper in the universe.
-e*- The inmates who wish to become men,
berS of our Pierian circle, will apply at once in
writing to the President or Secretary who will
be pleased to give their applications earnest
sideratiOn. There are at present ten vacancies
to be filled, and we advise those who are willing
to take hold of the studies in good faith, to take
advantage of this piece of news. Come early
and avoid the rush.
Last Sunday we were at loss for while to
find out the cause of the frowns that were dis
figuring the fair brOwS of some of the guards.
The attitude struck by some of them was SEEM
ingly on the defensive. Later in the day we
were able to solve the problem. 1t was the eX-
traOrdnary large pieces of the composite ginger
bread that had been dealt out to us, and which
had the appearance of pOlicmen's billes. But
there existed no foundation for alarm. as not a
vestige of the feast was left to prove that in
tentiOns were otherwise than peaceful.
A late resident of cell n, of reasonable in
tegrity, and little given to joke, tells this very
curious story of himself, beginning: ''DOg-gon'd.

Double the Guard!

This peaceful. orderly and secluded
community is considerably excited over
an item which appeared in last week s
Saltwater Messenger, to the effect that
an unknown man had made an attempt
to force his way into our habitation.
Briefly stated. the facts are as follows:
Last Friday, shortly after dark. man
of sinister appearance called at the
front Office, and demanded admittance.
AS he came unattended and without
the proper credentials which would en-
title him to a membership in this select
circle, he was refused admittance.
whereupon he began to raise disturb
ance. and threatened to force his way
in. The guard Oh duty, an old soldier
who had proved his devotion to duty
on many hard fought battlefield in
his cOuntry's defense, had the advan-
tage of good strategic position on the
safe side of a large and strong iron
door, and he boldly told the daring in
truder that he would defend that sacred
portal while life remained. The scoun-
drel evidently did not expect such a de-
termined resistance and was nOnpluSed
for few minutes, but recovering from
his surprise he was about to renew
the attack when, fortunately, the patrol
wagon and squad of policemen ap-
peared on the scene. The desperate.
realizing that resistance would be use
less, Immediately surrendered, and
throwing up both hands, said, Search
me-" Subsequent events proved that
he was perfectly safe in submitting to
be searched by the officers. for he had
nothing of value on his person.
The question which now agitates this
community is: Will there be other at
tempts to invade our privacy? We
fear there will be. and should future
attempts prove successful we tremble
at the dreadful consequences which
would ensue. Many who have earned
the right to an abode here and who
hoped to pass the declining years of
their life in peace and quietness, would
be dispOSSesSed of their homes and
thrust out upon cold. uncharitable
world. We fear that this unhappy
state of affairs is largely due to the in
judiciOuS utteranceS of THE PRISON
MIRROR. For years it has sung the
praise of Steward Benner's bOuillOn
and the many other advantages to be
derived by SOjOurn here, until the i'm
preston has gone forth that such de-
sirable place of residence must be Sc
cured at all hazards.
LATER-We have received the intel
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1892-12-15

ligence, through our private under
ground wire, that the rascal who made
the felonious attempt to break into the
Minnesota state prison was convicted,
and promptly banished to Wisconsin.
The penalty was severe, but it is the
sentiment of this community that the
punishment fits the crime.

A Beautiful Incident,

\ youth recently ran away from the galleyS of
Toulouse. He was strong and vigorous, and soon
made his way across the country, and escaped
pursuit. He arrived next morning before cot
tage in an open field. and stopped to get some
thing to eat, and get refuge while he repOSed a
little. But he found the inmates of the cottage
in the greatest distress Four little children sat
trembling in the corner; their mother sat weep
ing and tearing her hair and the father was walk
ing the floor in agony. The galley-Slaye asked
what was the matter, and the father replied that
they were that morning to be turned out of doors
because they could not pay their rent.
"YOu see me driven to despair" said the father;
my wife and my children without food or shelter,
and without means to provide Them
The convict listened to his tale with tears of
sympathy. and said:
Il will give you the means. have just escaI-
ed from the gaeys. Whosoever brings back an
escaped prisoner is entitled to a reward of fifty
francs. How much does the rent amount too"
Forty francs.' answered the father.
Well said the other, put a cord round my
body. will follow you to the city. where they will
recognize me- and you vii! get fifty francs for
bringing Inc back
NO, never. exclaimed the aStOnShetl listener.
MY children should starve a Thousand times be-
fore would do so base thing
The generous man insisted and declared at last
that he would give himself up if the father would
not consent to take him. After a long struggle
the father Yielded and taking his preserver by
the arm. led him to the city. and.to the mayors
Office.
Everybody was surprised to see that a little
man like the father had been able to capture such
a strong young fellow: but the proof was before
them.
The fifty francs We're paid, and the prisoner sent
back to the galleys. But after he was gone the
father asked private interview with the mayor,
to whom he told the whole story The mayor was
so much affected that he not only added francs to
the fathers purse. but wrote Immediately to
the minister of, justice, begging the noble young
prisoners release. The minister examined into
the affair. and finding il was a comparatively
small Offense which had condemned the young
man to the galleys. and that he had already served
out half his term ordered his reIease.-Er.
