Blake OF the penitentiary this after
noon ON behalf Of the convicts as a
token Of appreciation of the music af-
forded them by the ladies in question
at the prison chapel during the last
few months.
Miss Carlye Grey is a most accom-
plished violinist and her sister is no
less skilled and talented pianist.
Shortly after their arrival here they
offered to play at the regular Sunday
services at the prison chapel for the
benefit of the convicts. They found a
most appreciative audience and soon
became favorably connected with the
chapel music. The cheerfulness and
grace with which they performed
their self imposed duties, captivated
came great favorites.
About week ago when it was
learned that the young ladies were
shortly to return to Chicago one OF the
convicts asked Chaplain Blake If he
might be permitted to raise a sum of
money among his fellow prisoners to
purchase some token to be given to the
Misses Gray as an evidence of their
esteem. The chaplain obtained the nee
essary permission from the warden
and few days later was presented
with nearly fifty dollars, with which it
was decided to purchase a gold watch
for each of the young ladies.
The watches have gold filled cases,
are fitted with the best Waltham
movements and are very daintily yet
highly serviceable time pieces. When
told few days ago what the prison.
ers had done the young ladies said
that they did not deserve such gener-
osity and that they had played at the
prison because their services seemed
to be understood and appreciated. The
beneficiaries requested Chaplain Blake
to furnish them with a Biblical text
to be engraved on the inside of the
watch cases and he suggested the last
clause OF the thirty-sixth verse Of the
twenty-sixth capter of Mathew-"I
was in prison and We came unto me-"
and it was accordingly inscribed upon
each of the watches.
Miss H. B. Gray will leave for Chi
cago on Wednesday. Her sister, how
ever. will remain a few weeks longer
in Canon City. That they are proud
of the timepieces presented to them
through the munificience of the pris-
oners In the penitentiary goes without
saying
