Ludlow Street Jail a Modern Debtors Prison in New York

It describes the jail’s layout, management, and practices under Warden A M Fox, including meals, cell regulations, and the end of the bar in debt cases. The piece recalls Tweed’s era and notes improved conditions and restrictions on privileges for debt prisoners.

Japan Children's Festival and Jizo Shrine Tribute
In Lafcadio Hearn's From My Japanese Dairy, a delegation of children visits to fund and honor the festival of Jizo. The shrine near the author’s home is decorated with flowers, lanterns, a new bib, and a dancing platform. A child creates a kazari of pine and fire-shovels as a token of gratitude amid lantern light and street booths.
