A PLEASED CONVICT
Prescott Courier. )

Chas. Fulton recently sent from this city to the Arizona State prison, writes a letter to a friend in Prescott, in which he speaks highly of the man agement of. the prison. Following is an extract from Fulton'S letter: Do not get the idea that this is not a pris- on and conducted on prison lines for | it is. But it is a humane prison, un- der humane and broad-minded man. agement. A management which looks upon the inmate as a human being, and not an animal that must be lash ed and driven to do what is required of him. Possibly there are desperate men here but the only evidence I have noticed is the ferocious manner in which they attack a savory potato stew, and certainly not in their de- meanor or smiling faces. I must close now as we are to have a fare well speech from Miss Kate Bernard, who has done much for the oppressed.
 There is no work on Saturday after
 moons and, of course, all hands gather to hear her. She is much beloved by the men of all penal institutions, who know her for her good work.
