If it Is patched up into something like
a resemblance to revision he may af-

much refreshed She is in good spirits
and has regained much OF her old time
vivacity.
Her arrival at the penitentiary last
night was after the hour for retiring
and she was given only a night dress,
while all her other clothing and orna-
ments were taken from her. She
awakened this morning to find only
the prison garb in her cell Marching
in line with the other prisoners, Mrs.
