Buffalo, on the edge Of the mid

vented their enthusiasm In song.
They had the lake view and Its

rough way it was in those days.
Enough has been written OF this

Prisoners in England
Delight in Violin Solos

London, Sept. lie. Percy Brown
is comparatively young man, with
a young mans enthusiasm for re-
form. He wants to make prisoners
better and happier men inside the
Jail, and to give them a chance to
make good when they get out. He is
governor of Dorchester Goal, where
he is trying certain experiments that
come to him from the United States,
and the Home Office is watching them
to see how they turn out.
The effects of the new treatment
already are pronounced to be amaz-
ing. The tone of the prison is ex-
cellent and the general conduct of the
prisoners is very good. And this in
spite of the protests raised by the old
fogy type of prison authorities
against undermining discipline by in
Producing "fashy American meth,
DDS"
Music is Mr.. Browns most power.
full instrument of amelioration
Nearly every week he organizes good
concerts. The prisoners display a
real hunger for these events, and the
better the music the better they like
them, showing an almost pathetic
delight in violin solos Of the higher
class.
Also Mr.. Brown has organized 8
series of debates and lectures for the
prisoners. The debates, especially,
are hugely enjoyed by the prisoners
Some of them participate with great
zest, for among those now "doine
time" at Dorchester are men of ex.
cellent education and remarkable
arpumentatiye skill
