FIND KINDNESS IN
AMERICAN PRISONS
French Delegates Are Amazed
at Treatment of Criminals
in This Country.

special Gable TO The Tribune.
PARIS Dec. 3.-The French delegates
10 the American Prison congress- are
amazed al what they regard as the cX-
traordinarlly kind treatment accorded
prisoners in the American prisons, jalls
and penitentaries which they visited
during their visit to your country. Dis
cussing the subject NJ. Schrameck, one
OF them, said
"The prisoners get three good meals
daily; they are allowed To sit in their
rocking chairs, take their coffee aud
smoke. In America the Idea is that i'm
prisonment is punishment enough. In
certain places corporal punishment is still
practiccd. We saw none Of 1t. In the
United States even the prisoner main
tains some dignity: his hair is not cut
and he does not wear the striped convict
garb. At the dining tables is a stool
for each man. Here, as YOU know, we
have benches. Mental Improvement Is
looked after. The prisoners learn to read
and write. There arc classes daily and
the prisoners are attended to as IL they
were children. They are taught a trade,
are taught as much as possible TO love
work, and this is a great lesson OF re-
demptlon. They are given some money
on leaving prison so that they can a,
least for a time withstand temptation and
not go hungry and nnshcltcrcd.
CLERGY OF all denominations are al
lowed 10 have all the influence they can
There is no red tape. not SO much cerc-
mony and not so many permits arc re-
qured to open The prison doors to them
as here, The Americans have different
ldea from ours about criminals. They
treat them on the theory that they are
crate or diseased, and should he treated
as dcgcnera tcs.'

LONDON. Dec. 3.-King George, or,
rather. Queen Mary. is bnsily engaged
In planning drastic reforms about the
court, which will not only result in a
more economical and efficient manage
ment Of the royal household, but which
will also lead TO the correction OF many
abuses which have grown UP within the
past quarter OF a century or so. One oil
the most important of the new regulations
is one by which the four chief officials
of the household namely, the lord cham
berlain, the master OF tho household. the
master OF the horse, and the lord stew
ard, will meet at regular periods to con-
fer on the working Of their respective de-
partments, and to settle questions which
are constantly arising between them.
Under the old regime, when the work
Of say, the master OF the horses depart
ment brought that official into conflict
with one OF the others, there was a meet
ing of the two officials. and the question
at issue between them was referred to
the kings secretary for his majesty's In
Structions on the matter.
The number of equerries and lordS-in
waiting in the residence Is to be reduced,
but the number OF non resident eQuerries.

fortnight for attendance at the palace,
Will be increased. This regulation will
make for economy without putting any
extra work on the officials affected by II,
The presence of the mistress OF the
robes at court will be required far more
constantly than WAS the case in the last
few years Of King Edwards reign, when
Queen Alexandra only required the pres
ence OF her mistress OF robes on occa-
sions OF great state ceremony; and many
of the duties attaching to her office were.
as matter of fact. performed by Miss
knollys. II is the wish of both King
George and Queen Mary that the mistress
OF the robes should resume chief control
of her majesty's household. and in con
sequence the Duchess of Deyonshire Will
be great deal at court. When the
