 Gray for Conyicts.
 Gray for convicts without demer- it of any kind, blue for those who have only few demerits, brown for those who have strained the rules of the state penal institution, and then stripes for those who have frao- tured so many rules they are entit- led to no recognition from the pris- ou authorities. This will probably be the report of the committee ap- pointed at the last meeting of the Arkansas penitentiary board to con- slider the proposition of allowing the convicts of the penitentiary to wear some uniform other than the broad black and white stripe which has been in use for many years The change cannot be made until spring as the stripes for the winter suits have ben delivered and this goods must be used up. It is probable the cloth in the suits of different col- ors, will be the same as that now used for stripes. The uniform will be made up much in the same man. ner as it is now, in order to make a uniform by which convicts could be identified should they make an escape The members of the prison board be- lieve the negroes, as we'll as the whites, will strive for the honor Of wearing the gray suits, and the con- duct of the convicts become better. The uniforms for the boys of the re- form school, will probably be navy blue, and made sailor style. It is intended that these shall be worn on- ly On Sunday and the first supply of them will soon be delivered to the board.
