Kendall, Mcntana, July I, 1902. 7. WHAT THE CONVICTS EAT Men ill Stripes Are Well Trested at Deer Lodge. They Get Three Meals and It Costs the State 45 Cents a Day to Keep Them. With three meals a day, and those mealy far better than the prison fare al- lowed in many penitentiaries, the life ef a Montana prisoner is not altogether un- happy unless he be a man of finer sensi- bilities that revolt at the thought of being deprived of liberty. These remark. s are prompted by a per- usal of the contract between the state and Conley & McTague for the clue of he cclAlifIlL_,Tlie—uesi erke-ttse.t. a en t into effect June 16 and is to rim two years. Under this the .contraetors are to receive 45 cents per day for each oft he convicts, and in returu must safely keep and care for the criminals who are committed to their cus'ody. The con- tract goes into t he minutest details, even plescribing the hours of the various meals. For instanee, breakfast is to be served at seven o'clock, dinner at 12, and slipper at six, except in winter, when it shall be served just preceding darkness. And the contract contains the menu, irot for one they, but for every day in the week and each meal in the day. The list was not prepared hy a French chef, but by some one who knows %%hat is good and wholesome food for prisoners who are not given to work. Here is what the contract provides shall be fed to the eon : viva: - Monday—Breakfast, mush and milk, bread, coffee with sugar; thinner, baked beans with pork or baeon, breed, pota- toes; supper, corned beef, bread, tea %%bit segar. Tuesday—Breakfast, beef hash, corn blead, coffee with sugar; thither, beef stew, potatoes, bread, boiled cabbage; supper, oatmeal and milk, bread, lea wit h pew. Wednesday—Breakfast, rice and milk, bread, coffee with sugar; dinner, roast beef, bread, potatoes and carrots; slip- per, beef hash, bread, tea with sugar. 'fliursday — Breakfast, oatmeal and milk, bread, coffee a ith sugar; .lien, -r, I aked beans, brown bread, potatoes. beets; supper, corned beef,' bread, tea ith sugar. Friday—Breakfast, corned beef hash, corn -bread, coffee with sugar; dinner, boiled codfish', potatoes, bread and tur- nips; supper, beef stew, bread, ten with sugar. Saturday—Breakfast, rice anti milk, bread, coffee midi sugar; dinner, mut- ton stew, bread, potatoes, cabbage; slip- per, corned beef, bread, tea with sugar. Sunday—Rice and milk, bread, coffee ebb sugar; dinner, fresh roast pork, baked potatoes, bread, beets; supper, oatmeal and milk, bread, tea with sugar. Another of the provisions of the con- tract is that tbe clothing furnished to the convicts must be \suitable to their station and condition.\ and in setficient quantity and must be kept clean. While Contractors Conley & MeTague are strict disciplinarians, they are as liberal with the convicts as tbe rules of the best regulated prison will permit. The prisoners are not allowed liberty or labor, but aside from these things they should have no kick against their treat- ment. One of the pleasant features of prison life is the music furnished by the peniteritiary bend, a large organization, coMposed mainly of life or long term inete Under the tntorship of n musician who is also a guard at the pen the band has reached is state of efficiency that puts it above the plane of the ordinary. \The state prison\ said Shirley C. As1111. clerk to the board of prison com- missioners, vesterday, \is one of the beet conducted places in the country; in fact, any one W ho goes through it on a trip of inspection must conclude that it is a model penal institution.\ GERMAN INTERESTS. German companies now have six steamers plying regularly on the river Yangtse between Shanghai and Hankow. The German peasantry have a curi- ous instrument called the nagel- geige or nail violia. It is a circular frame of wood in which are set 60 or 70 iron pins, played with a bow. The custom of writing foolish beg- ging letters to the emperor has be- come so prevalent in German schools that a warning has been sent out that it must stop or fines will be Htlicted. The authorities of Aix-la-Chapelle recently sentenced to two weeks' im- prisonment a man who carelessly threw away a lighted match in a for- est near that city, although no dam- age was caused by the act. It is the practice in Berlin when any poor person (lies TIP :leaves no heir to have the bed disinfected and stamped by the official stamp of the town coun- cil. In this way a large number ot beds are collected, and are then lent to the vary poor. ART NOTES. In spite of his age Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria is an art student. M. Hamard, the French sculptor, has just completed at Paris the model of a statue of Marshal Rochambeau, to be presented to the city of Washing- ton as a companion to the statue of Lafayette. Miss Helen Hyde, of San Francisco, won the first prize in a Tokio art exhi- bition, in which her work, done in the Japanese manner, came into competi- tion with that of native painters. She began her studies of oriental folk in San Francisco's Chinatown. eo. W.
