at New Hampton, Orange Country, organized and
populated with inmates from the Hart's Island
Reformatory, has proved success. meeting the ex
pectations of Katherine B. Davis, Commissioner
of Correction of New York city. The little colony
is largely self-governing There are few hard
and fast rules. Only six boys have away since
the colony was started.
The chief work says Katherine B. Davis, in
her report is farm and garden work, and aside from
the vegetables needed for use of inmates the sur
pIusage yielded them handsome returns last year.
This money will be used to build new buildings
and further the cause of the successful innovation
to teach wayward boys how to become useful
citizens after they leave the colony.
The Saltwater Gazette says: 1.-The State
Board of Parole finished meeting of two days last
evening Uhursday) at the state prison. Although
supposed to meet monthly there, this was the first
meeting there. There were seventy applicants for
parole and twelve of them were granted
We are inclined to believe that the Gazette
was misinformed as to how often the Parole Board
has met this year. The truth of the matter is that
the Board has met every month, and we do not
know of a single instance to cite that would prove
the contrary. Aside from there having been twelve
paroles granted, the state board of parole granted
eight discharges and four discharges from PAROLE
the latter four discharges having been granted to
men who have made good" on parole.
As far as we have been able to ascertain, this
has been the largest number of glory tickets''
issued by the board time, for several years.
We have been assured that the inmates would
see some interesting and exciting baseball games
this summer on the local park The manager of
the last years famous Green Sox doubly assured
us that within the course of three weeks or month";
all fandom IN and about the silent city would have
the privilege of seeing the new lineup appear at
their respective posts on the local diamond, pro-
vided, of course the weather is still in his
present reasonable, good natured frame of mind as
