Entertainments for Prisoners.

Easter Sunday was made memorable to the
prisoners in the Kings county penitentiary by
the announcement that, through Mr.. Burtis,
commissioner of charities, they would hence
forth receive the privilege Of writing to their
friends and relatives twice a month instead of
once month as formerly. Mr. Burtis IS theories
on the subject of the treatment of criminals are
we'll known to lean most prOnouncedly to the
humane side. The commissioners methods are
highly satisfactory to Chaplain Bass, who said of
Mr.. Burtis: He is doing grand and glorious
work here"
The prisoners are now making portable fix
lures to be used in magic-lantern entertain
ments, which Mr.. Burtis is going to begin giving
them about every fortnight. A canvas eighteen
feet square, upon which to cast stereOpticon
pictures will be stretched across the pulpit plat
form little to the right Gas has been put in
the chapel and on the evening of April 21st Ben
jamin Lewis lectured to the prisoners on the

Parent of Crime.

Strong drink is not only the devils way into a
man, but mans way to the devil.-Dr. Adam
Clark.
Judges are weary calling attention to drink as
the principal cause of crime. but 1 cannot re-
frain from saying that if they could make Eng
land sober, they would shut up nine-tenths of
the prisons.-Lord Chief Justice Coeridge, of
England.
Ofall the causes of sin and misery, of pauper-
ism and wretchedness, intoxicating liquor stands
forth the unapproachable chief.-Noah Davis,
Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court.
Two-thirds of the crimes which come before
the courts of law of this country are Occasioned
chiefly by ntemperance.-Lord Chief Baron
Kelly, of England.
Eighty per cent. of the crime of our country is
the result of intemperance and ninetyive per
cent. of the depraved youth are the children of
drunken and depraved hOusehOlds.-General
Eaton, United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton.
can keep no terms with vice that fills our
iails, that destroys the comfort of homes and the
peace of families. and debases and brutaliZes the
people of these islands.-LOrd Chief Justice Cole
ridge, of England.

photographs which he brought from the Holy
Lands last year.
Lieutenant Peary will follow Mr.. Lewis with a
lecture on the North Pole" also fully illustrat-
ed. 1t is probable that Garrett 2. Serviss will
be the next lecturer.
In the Kings county penitentiary there are
confined men who were formerly prominent in
business and social circles. number of bank
presidents, government prisoners, and one man
who is a titled nobleman of Europe.
Mr. BurtiS thinks that when man of educa-
ton and refinement is suffering the punishment
of his crimes by wearing stripes, needless hum-
iations and cruelties do not belong to justice but
to tyranny. 1t was for the benefit of these men
that the privilege of writing letters every two
weeks was granted and the entertainments
planned.
Mr.. Burtis has also brought before the Board
of Aldermen the request to allow the prisoners
light in their cells from dusk to bedtime.
There is sufficient fund to put in an electric
plant and light the cells by electricity. There is
no lack of reading matter in the Kings county
penitentlary, but the prisoners work during the
day. The time when those who are educated
and could enjoy book or paper is in the even
ing. Up to the present time there was nothing
for these men to do at this sOmbre hour but to
sit alone in their cells.-New York Tribune.

Mark Twain on Interviews.

Mr. Samuel L. Clemens, who is on his way
around the world, arrived in Bombay in the lat
ter part of January, where the American Vice.
Consul and other Americans arranged formal
reception for him. Mr.. Clemens CHANGED to
make some remarks on the subject of interviews
while in Bombay that are characteristic of him.
"Of course he said, to representative OF the
Times of India, everyone has his moods and
lenses, and have mine, but when | am going
round about at leisure, as am now, why, dear
me! would as soon be interviewed as not At
the same time there are, it must be confessed, a
hundred thousand objections to interviewing,
and the first one is naturally this, that when you
put before the whole world in print anything
out of your skull it should by the very nature OF
the case be something worth reading.
"NOw. how many men--and / don't care how
practiced they are even with the pen-can sit
down on a sudden call, hunt round their head,
find a subject and write acceptaby on that sub
ject? could not do it, and don't believe any
one could do it. interviewing necessarily has
that blemish; it is surface talk; it is mere fluff
and foam; there is no substance in it. 1t has no
value; it has no right to 60 into print; it is a
waste of the time of man who sets out to
read it.
"a man sits down and talks in an interview,
and he is ostensiby saying something worth
printing; but he knows all the time that he is
not, it would be most dazzling action if he ever
did, say anything worth printing in such circum-
stances. interviewing would be quite justifia-
BILE if the public would grant that when man is
being interviewed he is not to be expected to
say anything worth the interviewer's trouble in
recording. Ifthat be understood no harm would
be done.
1.-The interviewer is not bit of trouble to me
or to anyone else for the matter of that, for any
one can talk. The difficulty is that talking Off
hand no man is likely to say anything worth
preserving. Haven't you heard thousand men
called ON their feet at dinners to speak, and it is
the most uncommon thing in the world to find
them saying anything that is worth listening to.
If they had known they were going TO be called
on they would make quite different show; and
so it is with interviewing.
Il don't know of any other objection to it. In
the first place. there is nothing on the spur OF
the moment worth talking about, and in the
second place, there comes the question of phras-
ing, and it is phrasing that makes piece of lit
erature valuable. How are you going to do your
phrasing unless you get time to think it over and
get it ready? Phrasing is the difference between
good literature and poor, commonplace litera-
ture. '-NewspaperdOm.

COnvsntIon.

That Minority Report In the New York
Convention.
CLEVELAND, Ohio. March 26.-when
Hon. II, a. Hanna announced early in
the campaign for William Mckinley for
the presidency that he would not at
any time during the progress Of the
campaign engage in any criticism, for
publication or otherwise, OF the various
other candidates, he meant what he
snid. In addition, to meaning that, Mr..
Hanna also meant that he would not
for publication or otherwise say any
thing derogatory Of the states whose
conventions saw 1T TO indorse the can
dIdacies OF other Republicans.
Pursuant TO this policy Mr.. Hanna
practically declined yesterday TO be In
terviewcd on the subject OF the New
York convention.
There were n good many Mckinley

Mr.. Hanna yesterday vigorously de-
nlcd the story thnt contributions TO
the campaign had been solicited and
received from the American Protective
Tariff League.
II am president of that association"
said Mr.. Hanna, 'aud that story is
false. The league has not contributed

campaign"
