Il. II. Sothern will present for the
first time his new romantic drama,
written for him by r. N. Stephens,
"An Enemy TO the King" at the Opera
House on next Monday evening, April
l2. The scene of the play is laid In
France during the sixteenth century,
and depicts the eventful times during
the civil wars Of France IN the six-
teenth century, the exact period being
the Autumn Of 1856. when Henry Iii,
was King of France. and Henry Of
Navarro was at the head Of the Hugue-
not army The chroniclers of the time
relate countless incidents which show
that combats, abductions, treacheries
and remarkable displays of craft and
valor were almost every day matters.
The four scenes which illustrate the
story are among the most beautiful evor
seen on the stage. Mr.. Sothern por-
trays the character OF Sieur de le Tour
noire, and Miss Mary Hampton, the
charming young actress, plays the role
Of Julie dc Varion. The remainder OF

A VERY SAD CASE.
Harry Wilson Dies Just Three Hours
Before the Arrival of His Father
to Take Him Home

A most pathetic incident transpired
here the past week. Harry Wilson,
serving five-year sentence from Hen
nepin Co., was the happiest man in the
prison few days before when Warden
WOlfer informed him he had procured
his pardon. Though very sick at the
time, his coming freedom and thoughts
of the parents who would soon clasp
him to their hearts again brought an
assuring smile to the pallid brow. At
ter the necessary preparations were
made his father, who lives at Davilla,
Texas, was telegraphed for and arrived
here Saturday at 600 P. NJ. but the
spirit of his son had left its earthly
frame just three hours previously. The
anguish of the parent was heartrending
when he found that his boys lips were
forever sealed in this world.
Death was the result of consumption
primarily, though entirely unexpected
that afternoon, the patient seeming to
be enjoying unusual good rest. The
immediate cause of death was the
bursting of the pulmonary vein. Harry
was sleeping peacefully Saturday after
noon when the nurse in charge sum.

MADAM" said the weary inspector of
railroad ties. "truly l doth hunger; l
pine for something to prevent my
stomach acquiring the lackadaisical,
lazy habits of my outer, drossy self. +"
Her heart melted like snow before the
western simeon. A muscular slice of a
tender, three week old loaf was brought
forth. 'Now my man" said the char
liable lady, cit is not for your sake nor
my sake give to thee of my plenitude,
but for Gods sake" He paused; he
crunched the fioury sapling. "Kind
LADY, said he, "you giveth to me for
Gods sake. Ere l further curtail my
inward vacuity allow me, in the Ian
guage of great divine, to similize, by
asking you for His Sons sake-for
Christ's sake-put some butter on it.

moned DR.. Beebe as the patient awoke
choking, with the blood rushing from
his mouth. But no earthly power could
now stay the hand of the Grim Reaper.
The grief stricken father who was so
near the end of his long journey from
Texas was too late, and bowed his head
to the will of Providence as his tears
fell on the inanimate form of his once
happy boy now taken from him in the
flush of youth.
LAST SAD RITES.
The inmates assembled in the chapel
Sunday afternoon to pay last tribute
to their fellow-unfortunate who has
gone to the court of the infallible
Judge before whom king and peasant
must stand alike. Appropriate an
thems were rendered by the prison
choir. Warden Wolfer spoke very
feelingly of the boy as he told us OF the
circumstances surrounding the case,
and his efforts to secure a pardon for
him earlier. But such was an impOSsi-
bility as there was no pardoning power
vested in any state official since Dec.
Dist until the board of pardons' law
was legally enacted and the members
appointed. Wilson was the first one to
be pardoned by that board.
Chaplain Albert conducted the SER
vices. The bereaved parent was pres
ent and what thoughts flashed through
his mind in this hour of grief, as he
gaZed on the casket amid the surround
ings of so many unfortunates in their
prison garb can only be conjectured
The chaplain spoke mOdestly and
calmly of the boy as he had known
him. No fiaring of virtue was INDUCED
in. The tears welled up in the eyes of
many a strong man whose heart was
long ago hardened by his own perver-
sity and adverse surroundings. The
solemnity of death made us all kin as
we watched the bowed head of the
stricken father who knew his son only
as Godfearing, loving child.
One tribute we can justly pay to our
departed comrade: He was clean spok-
en-; free from profanity and ribald
slang. This we could say in life as well
as at death. May it be a consolation
to the parents with whom. as convicts
and men, we deeply sympathize, to
know that vicious though the world
may consider us we can pay silent
homage to true virtue; and we know
that mouth free from profanity and
vile language can only have it's source
in an honest heart.

To Our Outside Readers.

1t is our intention to impress on the
minds of those of our readers who en-.
joy the exquisite pleasure of sitting in
their homes while reading The MIR
ROR that the paper is the sole property
of the cOnvicts and not in any way
subsidized by the state. 1t is matter
of worthy personal pride with us all to
keep it on a sound financial basis, and
improve it in every manner possible.
To that end we request those who are
in arrears on subscription to pay up as
much as they can spare.
Though immured from the world we
are aware that, during the past five
years, times have been hard and many
worthy people sorely tried to live in
even meagre comfort. To offset this
you must remember that hard times
are now but part of history. People
of every shade of political opinion adj
NIT that this spring will witness an
immense revival in trade. Whether
this will be due to the new national ad-
ministration or the natural sequence
of events you may judge for yourself.
Therefore we ask all who are indebted
to us to remit what they can spare.
Your postmaster can supply you with
postal notes from fifty cents upwards.
We will appreciate any amount you
send and you will know that you are
receiving paper you need not con
over before allowing your children to
read. Perhaps your investment will
be the indirect means of saving some
fellow being from spending term in
prison. 1t is we'll to have such items
credited to your account before you
face the last and most reliable Auditor.
If the world has favored you with
ordinary prosperity pay your
subscription ahead, then you will
always be sure of it.

acquiesce gracefully to the attack and
the officials formed diplomatic force

they succeeded admirably. The Board

Merrill received the attacking party
proper. Mrs. Wolfer and Mrs. Lemon
saw that the lady belligerents were not

speaking to any prisoners they saw fit
without being listened to by officers.
Every nook and crook of the prison

sofa Prison is kept and governed.
ECHOES OF THE VISIT.
Ex-senator O'Brien, of the board of
managers, and Senator jacobson had
friendly debate on the exact date of a
certain event in prison history. Each,
in his own opinion, was correct, and
showed desire to back up that opin-
ion with the wherewithal to purchase
a goodly supply of cigars. Warden
Wolfer examined the records and the
result was Manager O'Brien had to
pony up the smokers.

there is no possible show of their being
