FEATU RES AND ME- TIL o D S

Written for The Evening Star.
Best known of all the prisons in the new
world is the one at Sing Sing. n. Y. Its
fame is not due to it's fulfilling the re-
tiyIfrements of a modern prison-far from it
but to it's nearness to New York and its
occupancy by celebrities. who, from time
10 time migrate ':up the river" for the
good of society and. it is hoped, for the
good of themselves. 1t might be supposed
that the big city would produce the biggest
rascals. because it has the most and largest
stakes for them and is best protected by
politics against the righteous: Yet, as a
matter of fact. the small towns produce
the same sort of depredators as the others.
only there are fewer of them. New York
city sends thousands of wrongdoers to jails.
penitentiaries. reformatorieS and refugees,
and spares only regiment for the perma-
nent population of Sing Sing. That is, its
usual number of prisoners is about 1900,
and nearly all of these come from the city.
What might be called the bounds of the
Sing Sing district occur at the Atlantic on
the south and the latitude of Poughkeepsie
at the north.
The situation is beautiful. The Hudson,
nearly at its widest here, stretches from the
very walls of this place of gloom to the
highlands. looking up-river, to the harbor
looking down and on the opposite shore the

men began to tear the shores of this lowell

ately behind, above the prison, the bank
rises Steeply and is crowned here and there
with villas and dotted with pleasant cot
tases- The scar Of a limestone quarry is
the only DETACHMENT. This quarry is work
ed by the conyicts and IL is of the stone
that came from it that the prison was built.
Sing Sing village has just had its Indian
name restored-Ossining-and it feels better.
IL says that II was so long associated with
bad people that it was ashamed to look
strangers in the face But bless its heart
doesn't II know that the prison at Ossining
is the same as the one at Sing Sing? The
real gain from the change of name will be
the disappearance of Sing Sing from min

The village is half a mile from the strong
