school Days In Reformatory.

Frankfort, KY, April 9.-School
days began in the Frankfort Reform
atory last night, and more than 100
convicts, gray-haired offenders and
boys who had scarcely attained their
majority, with slate and books un-
der their arms, filed into the cor
ridors of the new dollhouse, where
seats were arranged facing black
boards. Six tentative classes were
organized for the first nights work.

attained considerably dexterity as
porch climber in Louisville before
being sent to prison, and Albert
Adams, Fayette-co., prisoner took
charge of classes. They proved pa
tent teachers, and few instructors
ever had better attention or more
eager pupils. 1t was necessary to be-
gin at the very rudiments of in
struction in the formation of let
ters and figures with many of the
men. Nearly 100 more men have
made requests to join the school,
but for various reasons the classes
will not be enlarged until the Or
