Was in the City Monday and Delivered
Two Lectures, His Topic Being "Iife
Among Criminals"
State Senator John n. REYNOLDS. of
Kansas, who has peculiar record, in
that he is the only man ever elected to
public office while a convict, arrived in
the city Monday ond delivered lectures
on the streets that afternoon and night
Nj. Reynolds came up from Albany
Monday, having delivered two lectures
there Saturday. He has averaged two
lectures day for the past three year.
He lives at Atchison, Kansas, and was
formerly editor of the Atchison Daily
Times, paper which he devoted to the
interest of the people while Kansas was
in the hands of radical Republican
ring. Thus hatred was engendered
against him, and during one of the po-
litical battles in Kansas he was arrested
on trumpet up charge, convicted, and
sentenced to serve sixteen months in the
penitentiary, where he had to work in
the coal mines.
Towards the latter part of his term in
the pententiary he was called from the
coal shaft and telegram read to BIN an
nouncing his election as State Senator
from his senatorial district, a complete
vindication by his people of the crime
for which he had been sentenced. He
returned to the mine, refusing pardon,
served out the remainder of his sentence,
and then served his term as State Sen
ator with beftting hOnors
For the past three years he has been
engaged in work of evangelistic nature,
travelling around the country, lecturing
twice day to the lowest classes of peo-
pie as we'll as the most cultured and
aristocratic, always delivering his lee
lures from some sidewalk corner, his
prime object being to get at the lower
class of people and teach them, through
his lectures and telling them his expe-
riences, how to avoid pentontiary life.
He has repeatedly refused offers to 60 on
lecturing tour for pay, and always APP
pears on the streets at his lect ures wear
ing his convict stripes.
Mr.. Reynolds will begin editing the
Chicago Bee on the first of next month,
and will devote much space to writing up
the towns in the South through which
he has passed, and his experiences while
in this section.
He says he is thoroughly in love with
the Southern people, and finds them ex-
tremely warm in their hospitality.
He delivered two lectures here, one in
the afternoon, and one at night at the
opera house, his subject being life
Among Criminals, in which his endetv-
or is to teach those with whom he comes
in contact how to avoid the horrors of a
prison life. HIS talks are well worth
hearing.

He was only poor little bound boy,
but he liked good things to eat as we'll as
any boy in more fortunate circumstances.
His ordinary diet was not such as would
tempt an epicurean, and one day, when
several stinguished guests arrived, he
looked forward to the dinner hour with
delight. What was his dismay to fi--d
that there was not room at the table for
him, and he must wait until the others
had eaten. be sat and watched the good
things disappear, and when at last he
took his place and looked around at the
poor prospect he bowed his head and
asked blessing as folio VS.:
