WOMEN IN PRISON
Suffragettes in London Jail Tel
Of Their Hardships.
Bad Food and Damp CeIIs-EngIlsh
Women Of Position Undergoing
Punishment in Holloway Not
v Having Easy Time.

London.-The 2OO-odd s%uffragettes
now in Holloway Jail serving sen.
fences ranging from a fortnight up are
not having an easy time. Most Of the
privileges which they secured from
Winston Churchill when he was home
secretary, in recognition of their
status as political offenders, have been
taken from them since the outbreak
of window smashing and there is a
return to the harsher conditions which
obtained three years ago.
At the ~suffragette headquarters
there is a suspicion that there has
been a resumption of forced feeding;
but no evidence has been produced to
support the belief. In fact, the au-
thorities have adopted such secrecy
in regard to the imprisoned suffra-
gettes that it is practically impossible
to obtain any information as to what
is going on inside Holloway.
At the suffragette headquarters. in
Clements inn, Miss Janet Green, who
is accused of smashing a $3.50 win
dow, gave a correspondent these de-
tails of her life in Holloway:
The Journey to Holloway In the
Black ,Iaria' is enough to take the
courage out of any one" she said.
You are placed in a narrow compart-
ment, just large enough to squeeze
into. Then you are locked In, and
whatever air or light might creep in
between the bars is shut out by the
burly warder. who stands in the pas
and shakes and. with darkness and a
suffocating atmosphere, the journey Is
a nightmare.
Arrived at Holloway. I was first ia
ken to my cell. My bag, containing
nightdress, comb, brush and a few 9TH
er needful articles, was kept by the
warder. 1t happened to be a rush day
on which I arrived and it was nearly
midnight before my case was attend
ed to. When l was taken to the main
hall my money, jewelry and knick-
knackS were taken from me and the
amounts and details entered in a book.
Then my description was taken. as
we'll as my name, age and my weight.
After this ! was taken to my cell.
The ordinary routine is to be awak-
ened at from 6 to $50. Breakfast is
served at from Z to 7:2O. 1t consists
of what is With license called tea and
a small loaf of coarse bread and what
is called butter. Then it was chapel
from S to about 8.
"After supper We read, if we had
any books. until the lights vent out at
about $50. | was one of those placed
in solitary confinement for taking part
in the mutiny. This mutiny arose be-
cause We were not allowed to see our
leader, Mrs. Parkhurst. Then, with
the usual inconsistency. the prison au-
thorities placed the heaviest punish
ment upon Mrs. Pankhurst, who was
not to blame. and put her in a dark
underground damp cell where she
caught bronchitis and is now in the
hospital.
after the mutiny all privileges
were stopped by the visiting magis-

WindfaU In Old Hat.

There is something more than a joke
in inheriting an ole hat from an uncle.
For the recent Mardi-Gras fete, in
Paris, a motor bus driver, wishing TO

ant keeper an old battered top" hat,
inherited from a deceased uncle. Dur
ing the festivities, the wearer, in at
tempting to adjust his wig, knocked
off the hat, and to his establishment
out fell nine 100 franc notes ($lS0).
He fastened to put this unexpected
bequest into the cafe keepers

Deadly Glasses.

A contrast to the Venetian glasses
which were popularity supposed to fly
to pieces if poisoned liquor were pour
ed into them, were glasses which
poisoned all who drank from them.
The poison was crystallized at the
bottom of the glass, from which it
was indistinguishable, and as it dis
solved very slowly it could be used
many times with deadly effect. Some
such glasses can be seer at the Brit.
iSh museum.

Pie sufficed for Large Party.

Over 80 persons partook, the other
day at Confession, Suffolk, England, of
a gigantic sea-pie, into the making of
which there entered two stone of flour,
six rabbits, six OK and sheep kidneys.
2S pounds of beefsteak, two score Of
green vegetables, half a stone Of on
ions, and two stone of turnips and car
rots. The total weight Of the pie was
over two hundred pounds, and it took
two days to cook.
