New York.-The four grim gray
walls of the city prison over on Black
wells Island have been just bursting
with the secret Of a romantic engage.
ment, and there is a smile these days
on the faces of the forlorn creatures
forced to live therefor the fortunate
man is DR.. Philip B. Matt, assistant
physician TO the prison and the friend
of every unfortunate inmate of that
place, according to the Sunday World.
The heroine in the case is Miss Jo-
sephine Brown, who lives at No. 204
West Ninety-fourth street, New York.
1t was on a mission of mercy to "the
island that Miss Brown met DIR. Matz
but to begin at the beginning:
A little over IL years ago Chicago
was taking a very great interest in
deed in a little seven-year-old girl who
could play the violin with the skill Of
a born artist. The little one was Jo-
sephine Brown. She had won her
honors at a series of public concerts.
A year or two later she came to New
York with her mother, and added to
her fame as a violinist was her repu-
tation for childish beauty. The almost
perfectly formed features of her face,
the magnificent black eyes and long,
jet-black hair acclaimed her wherever
she appeared. Those who were
charmed with her then predicted that
as she grew older she would become
one of the most beautiful women in
the world.
In New York Mrs. Brown secured
for her daughter the leading violin
teachers, and very soon musicians
and artists we're attracted toward the
little western girl. Photographers,
artists in black and white and those
who painted in oil besieged the
mother to allow Josephine to pose for
them. Mrs. Brown granted as many
of these requests as possible, and the
Madonna-like face of the little girl
became well known in the artists
studios of the city.

Since then never a week has passed
that Miss Brown has not been a Wis
itor to the island. In her arms she
has always carried flowers, fruit,
books-countless little offerings of de-
votion to make the days of her bene-
factor pass as quickly as possible.
Once in a while she would take her
violin and play over and yer the ia
vorites of Mr.. Hummel. She was in
truth an angel of mercy. for while she

led to the b~ewildering number of con
gratulatory letters and kilograms
which Miss Brown has been receiving
during the past few days.
When ABE" Hummel, the convict
ed lawyer, was sent, disgraced and re-
viled, to serve a years sentence in a
felon's cell on Blackwell's Island,
there were many of his friends who
came forward to tell of his deeds of
kindness during his years of success,
and foremost among them was Miss
Brown.

passed that DIR. Matt, even though he
did not have to prescribe for his pa
tent, has failed to visit his cot and
chat with him for Is or 20 minutes.
OF course, on several of these occa-
sions Miss Brown was announced. The
doctor was introduced.
And then of course the inevitable
happened.
Even before he had been formally
presented, DR.. Matz had heard of the
beautiful young Woman whose graft
tude toward her old friend had never
changed in his adversely. He had
heard of her from Hummel, from the
other prisoners, from the keepers,
who had come to look forward to her
visits almost as anxiously as did
Hummel himself.
What has followed has been the Sc

Miss Brown, with her face sufused
with bushes, will tell you herself that
the minute she saw DR.. Matz "he ap.

tell you that even before he had met
her he had made up his mind that so
loyal a friend as Miss Brown had
shown herself to be was just the girl
for him.

The visits of Miss Brown to the
cold, forbidding prison became more
and more frequent-for of course, as
she would have told you a few weeks
ago, Mr.. Hummel needed to be
cheered up more and more as the days
dragged along. But 1t was not only
Mr.. Hummel that saw her. Of course
no one would ever suspect 1t, but
there are pleasant walks and quiet
hooks even on Blackwell's Island, and
a very happy young couple were often

with each other than with anything
else in all the world.
Now that the secret is out, the
quiet smiles of approval that have
greeted the young couple from the
associates of the young man and the
friends of the young girl have been
turned into real old-fashioned con-
gratulations. Messenger boys and

They Say Is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the follow
ing occurs right here at home, it is
bound to carry weight with our read
ers. So many strange occurrences go
the rounds Of the press; are published
as facts, people become skepticSL
On one subject skepticism is rapidly
disappearing This is due to the ac'
tual experience OF our citizens, and
their public utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as

one whom you can see every day,
leaves no ground for the skeptic to
stand on.
