Racy Account of Prison Experience-- In Charge of an Irish Female Offi- cer--What Prisen Garb and Prisen Fare Is Like--Cannot Receive or Send Letters--Was Sentenced For Disturbing the Peace. One of the suffragettes recently ar- rested in London and sentenced fo prison on a charge of disturbing the peace has written an account of her prison experience for ome of the Lon- don papers. The letter follows: As the constable who rides behind "Black Maria" unbolts, one by one, the hutfhés in which ita occupants, during the drive are penned, each prisoner on arrival at Holloway is jecked into a cubicle cell, the furni- ture of which is a seat. The parti- tions of these cells do not reach to the top of the corridor, so as one sits in the dark and cold one hears the re- epiving officer open one cubicle after another and go through the form of interrogation whieh is the nation's welcome to those seeking temporarily its hospitality. The receiving officer, when I visited "Holloway House," was a good-natur- ed but ignorant Irish woman, and when T shut my eyes I can still hear the voice in which she repeated me- chanically, as she opened each door: "Well, gurrl! Fwhat's your name? How old age yoy? How do you get your livin'? Have you been here be- fore? Fwhat's your religion?" We were then let out in threes into a sort of pasasge, where we were told ty take off all onr clothes and to choose from a heap of coarse prison chemiises, plentifuljy marked with the broad arrow, an clementary garment in which to clothe ourselves. We then stood for twenty minutes bare- footed and in this one garment, while lists were made of all the clothes, jewelry, money, etc., found upon us. Je were weighed and measured, our hair was taken down and examin- ed, and we then passed on to the bath, which, fortunately for us, was a perfunetory affair, as we just stood in warm water for a few minutes. We then put on the rest of the pris- on clothing, consisting of a much worn coarse flannel jersey, flannel pet- ticoat to match, a linsey petticoat, a green shapeless bodice and skirt, a check apron, a white cap, 8 yellow badge bearing our number, and a duster for a pocket handkerchief; no pocket being allowed, this beautiful object is tucked into the string of the apron, and as it has to last a week before it gets washed, it will be understood that no provisions for in- fluenza colds are made for those who are the guests of the nation. The stockings provided are of the quality of eveling stockings, and in as no garters are allowed, the e when one has to walk briskly round and round the prison yard for half an hour, does not make for neatness. The--shoes are of the hardest and ocafsest leather, and have been cob- bled again and again till their weight is enormous, and the number of nails sticking up in the soles soon reduce one's Be Hl and one's feet to a state of holes. When on the third day I complain- ed, the wardress produced a heap of old odd shocs, telling me to choose some that had fewer nails. On this evening of reception, after being mar- shalled in one of the upper corridors, wa were each given a brown roll, and were locked for the night into our cblls, where we took down our plank beds, laid them flat on the cement floor, unrolled the cocoa-nut fiber mat. tresses, covered ourselves with the two thin blankets, and lay down-- but not to sleep! At six the bell clangs for us to get up, and in the dark of a winter morn- ing 1 %got into my outer prison gar- ments (I suffered so from cold in the night that I had to keep on all my underclothes), washed in the tin bas- in, fastened up my hair as well as I could without a looking-glass, and was. just ready by the time the cell doors were thrown open and we were told to go and fill our water cans After a breakfast of cocoa (which I pever ventured on, so I cannot speak for its quality) and a roll of brown tread came the cleaning of the cells, which "cleaning," being among the most obtusely stapid traditions of prison discipline, desérves to be de- seribed in detail. The cell violates all laws of hy- giene, in that the barred window is not made to open to admit the outer air, and is of corrugated glass & that no sunshine can penetrate into the cell. A strip of the cement floor at the further end of the cell has to be whitewashed every morning, and on this whitewashed strip are 'arranged the tin utensils used by the prisoner These tin utensils are a dust-pan, a sanitary bucket, a washing basin, a water can with a cover, and a tin mug. These utensils can be rinsed my case reached barely to the k 3 ' fleck, Tots of proud men take off heat, which, being interpreted, is Chicago tinned meat, There are gen- erally potatoes, which is the only part of the menu | ever tried. The evening is tea or cocoa and brown bread, after which the scissors used in cutting the evarse threads with which the mail bags are sewn are removed, presamably be- cause the temptations to commit sui- cide become more acute as the even- ing chill and darkness set in. It was explained to me that the lack of gar- ters was caused by the same soliei- tude: on the part of the authorities that there should be mo extra tempta- tion for prisoners to commit suicide. No letters are allowed to be receiv- ed or sent by prisoners serving short sentences. . Any letter sent to the prisoner is opened and returned at once to the sender with a printed form stating that the prisoner has no right to receive a letter. w _AN ARCTIC EASTER. The Coldest Season For Over Thirty Years, It is a long time since the vagaries of the British climate were so strik- ingly illustrated as during Easter- tide of 1908, At ome .time the san ghone with an almost tropical bril- liance: at anothcr, blinding snow showers driven by Arctic blasts sent fhe thousands of holidaymakers shiv- ering into dbor recesses or any other place where shelter could be found. Indeed, according to the meteorologi- eal experts, this Faster was the cold- est experienced for over thirty years. In North Essex the ground. was eov- ered with snow to a depth of nearly three inches, and the west hills of the Highlands were thickly mantled. The holiday wae therefore to a great extent a fireside Easter. The blizzard, however, if it spoiled outdoor amuse- ments brought a rich harvest to the theatre manager. There WRs pot a theatre or music-hall in' London that eould report anything but record busi- neas, and it is roughly estimated that on Bank Holiday, including matinees, more than a quarter of a million peo- ple visited the seventy-five places of entertainment that were open. At a modest rate of reckoning, this means that some $125,000 changed hands at the various pay-boxes and booking offives, In happy ignorance of the weather conditions, they were destin. ed to experience, there was an excep- tionally large exodus of Londoners during the week-end, the railway re- turns showing that over three-quar- ters of a million left the Metropolis. Many thousands went to the contin. ent. The lot of the trippers, however, was disconsolate in the extreme, for the weather on the continent was quite as inclement 'as in the homeland. Mixed. A Glamorganshire draper having let part of his shop to a butcher, some wag issued the following hand- bill the other day: "Great attraction for the festive season at Billy's beef and bonnet shop. A large and varied assortment of tripe and trimmed hats to be clear out regardless of cosh Shawls snd sausages woven while you wait. Fagots and flannelettes, the largest stock in town. Reels of cofton and ribs of pork in great variety. Try our calicoes and corned 1. Our German sausages and gossamer veils warranted to wear well. All wraps from our own sheep and mut- ton from the same. Pincushions and pig's feet, suitable for presents, very cheap. Be in time. Be in time. Experiences of the Gilded Chamber. Mr. Hedley, the attendant in the Press Gallery of the House of Lords, has "looked down" on the peers for 29 years. Now he has descended, on promotion #8 Third Prinvipal Atten- dant, to the brass gates org the entrance to the Upper House. He has seen nine Ministries come and go. During his tenure nearly every present oceupant of the House has been introduced and made his bow to the Lord Chancellor. Now the kindly, grey-haired attendant, whom reporters 'have looked upon as their guide, philosopher, and friend, has passed from his aecustomed haunts. "I came to the gallery," said Mr. Hedlef, "in the latter days of Disraeli's second ad- ministration. They were exciting times. I think the House, if anything, is more subdued than then. "One thing strikes me especially Thirty years ago a few peers stood out in bold relief from the rest on both sides of the House. Today there is a mote general level, as it seems to me, both in debating and speaking. I have watched the set oration gradu- ally die, and the rise and development of ctisper and quicker methods of business, Of the famous men who have left their mark on my memory-- and IT think I have béen present at every great debate and every great function Eince 1879---there has been ne greater debater than Lord Cairns. Lord Heérschell was, perhaps, the greatest and most dignified, Lord Sel- borne the most learned, Lord Hals- bury the most genial, and Lord Lore burn the most acopesible and sympa- thetic of the oe nts of the Wool- sack." $ Taking No Chances. "Yes, he has by letter," she explained. "Now, do you think I ought to wail my answer immediate of Keep him in suspense for awhile? "Mail it!" exclaimed her dearest friend in a tone that had a trace of spite! . "HI \were yom, I'd f i" And ute was an emphasis put on "if §£ were you" that edme near breaking a friendship that had extended over several years.
