COMMUNICATIONS.

New Haven's Opportunity.
To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Although many Of our citizens opposed
the creation of East Rock Park and regarded
the scheme as means of wasting money, 1t
is now almost unanimously conceded that
New Haven made good bargain when she
acquired this park. In fact, so careful a
business man as the late Harmanus NJ.
Welch declared the park worth more than
four times it's cost. But while New Haven
undoubtedly took a wise step in acquiring
East Rock, that park is defective in several
respects and can never fully meet the PROS
pective wants Of this growing city.
First-East Rock ia to small. Second
It ia not readily reached except by the COM
paratively small number of persons who keep
carriages. Third-It is too irregular in SUR
face for some of the important requirements
of park.
We need larger park-ene with a great
breadth of nearly level land, easily travelled
by persons on foot, by misses with children's
carriages, by bicycle riders, and which can
be readily traverssd by horse railroad. In
short, we need park which the great mass
of people who wish to stroll in can easily and
cheaply reach. It would also be desirable to
have such park simply a continuation and
enlargement of the present one.
met by the city acquiring Mill Rock and
about three hundred acres adjoining. These
lands should embrace the south of Mill Rock
as far as the reservoir, and should extend
from Whitney avenue to the Northampton
railroad-thenoe along the Northampton road
to Lake Whitney and thence along Lake
Whitney to the highway which now runs on
the westerly bank of the lake, thence down
that highway to the dam across Mill river.
These lands are mostly in a wild uneulti-
waited condition and could now be had for q
low price. They comprise great variety Of
picturesque and beautiful features, and could
be readily penetrated by herse railroads. For
a comparatively small sum, New Haven can
now convert East Rock Park into portion
of one of the finest parks in the country.
Now is the time to move in this important
matter, NELSON NEwKIRK.

He Lives at Bury st. Edmunds ana
Tells His own Story.

FROM the ST. James Ga1ette.l
The original of "Smiken-ons Of Dickens
characters in "Nioholas Nickleby"-is living
at Bury st. Edmunds. He is toy shop
keeper named johnson. Interviewed by
representative of "The Bury and Norwich
Post" he stated that he was undoubtedly
the original "Sniike." He gives a graphic
account of his life at the Yorkshire school
kept by Mr.. Clarkson csSqueers.'D In
reply to question how long It was since he
knew that he was the original of ''Smike, !"
Mr.. johnson assured his interrogator that he
never knew s'Nicholas Niokleby" WAS written
until about ten years ago, when he was told
by Mr.. Gibbs, confectioner, who borrowed
the work for him to read. He had previously
related to him the history of his life in
Yorkshire, and Mr.. Gibbs said: "Why,
your life is written by Charles Dickens in

himself to sister at Brighton to get addi-
tional information and verify the conclusion
to which he had come. He paid his sister q
surprise visit and said: ST have come to
have my dinner with you, and to ask you
whether you know that my life has been
written by any author" She said, eyes, IL

friend ssSmike.n t'It has been written by
| Charles Dickens in Nicholas Nick1eby," said
she. "That is all want to know" was the

fair. In effect, the engineers have stretched
six horizontal Eiffel towers, at a height of
$40 feet above high water mark, across the
estuary, and have yet made their structure
capable of supporting, not only its own
weight, but that of Eve Of the largest iron-
clads, were they to be hung from Its girders.
The problem presented to the builders Of the
bridge was the spanning of space mile
and half broard. The water was too deep
to allow the sinking of piers, and SO the only
plan possible was to utilize rocky island in
the middle of the Forth. Two great cantile-
vers, or brackets, 700 feet long, were pushed
out from each eide of the space to be spanned,
and then connected by steel girder $50 feet
long. The weight of the metal employed is
$4,000 tons, and yet the structure may be
depended upon to carry an additional weight
of IA, 900 tons. while three times the fury of
the worst storm ever recorded can break upon
the bridge without the slightest danger. The
work is undoubtedly one of the greatest, If
not the greatest feat of engineering ever per.

THE NEW VOTING SYSTEM.

THE NEW VOTING SYSTEM.
Evidence in favor of the new plan of vot-
ing continues to come in. A gentleman who
acted as election clerk at the polls in Mon
tana at the recent first trial Of the Australian
system in that State says that the only OBJ
lection which has been heard against the new
System was that it took too long to count the
votes, but he asserts that the system was in
no way responsible for the length of time
consumed in counting the votes. That was
caused solely and only by the length of the
ticket. There were over eighty names on the
ticket, and over forty had to be voted for.
There was an immense amount of scratching
done by both parties, out of all proportion
to what is done In the States. He believes
he 10 perfectly safe in saying. that at least
half of the ballots cast by either party in
some of the precincts were scratched, conse-
quently in large precinct 1t would necessa.
rily take long time to count the ballots.
1t has been feared that there would be de-
lay in voting under the new plan, but this
gentleman's experience leads him to say:
While the Australian law seems cumbersome
in reading, 1t is otherwise in practice. ALI
that the voter has to understand about it is
to know how to mark his ticket. This un-
derstood, he walks inside the ropes sur
rounding the polling place, thence into the
polling place, and as soon as he is in the
polling place one of the judges gives him a
ticket and another assigns him to booth
where he marks his ticket, walks up and
casts his vote and walks out. The whole
thing is very simple in practice. I believe
that under the Australian law fully as many,
if not more, votes can be cast than under the
old law, all the circumstances being the
same Take any large precinct where there
are from 400 to 500 voters. Let us suppose
that they are entitled to vote. Under the
Australian law there are enough booths pro-
vided for these men, and they can walk ur
and deposit their ballots just as rapidly al
under the old law. The judges are secure
from aeise or confusion-no person is al
| lowed about the polls except the judges ani
clerks and tho persons admitted to vote, st
| that the election officers can do their bust
ness much more expeditiously and satisfao
torily than when surrounded by q noisy
crowd. could say much more from actua
| experience in favor of the new law.
Of course the new plan has not yet had (
full and fair test, but the indications are tina
when 1t has 1t will be approved.

having been adopted by Dickens as one OF

having been adopted by Dickens as one of
his characters.
"And is the character of sSmike,' as given
by Dickens, faithful portrayal of the facts
as you know them4' was the next question
submitted. To this Mr.. johnson replied that
it was undoubtedly based upon actual facts;
but of course there was a deal Of iotisn
thrown in by way of padding.
Dickens did not exceed the truth in de-
scribing the condition of affairs at Dothe-
boys hall, and might have easily made it
much worse than he did. His characteriza-
tion of the porridge as a "brown compost
tion, which looked like diluted pincushions
without the covers" was thoroughly justi-
fed, for it was indeed "wretehed tackle, /"
and the "stirabout and potatoes" which
formed part Of the dietary, were no imsgln-
ary quantity. $50 badly were we treated,
Mr.. johnson says, s'that we used to break
out at night and rob bean and pea stalks in
order to supply our wants and to make up
for the deficiencies of the larder at the
hail. But there wes thorough esprit de
corps among the 'boarders,' and those who
gathered these supplemental luxuries were
loyal to their companions in misery, and the
understanding respecting the fair and equal
distribution Of the spoil was always faith
fully carried out. Of course" he continued,
1--WE were never allowed to sit at the table to
eat our meals. We were ranged In two rows
at long deal table and We had to stand
while eating"-a privilege which probably
was not included In "the thanks for what We
have received"
Pressed on the point respecting the admin
istration Of the "four of birthstone and mo-
lasses," Mr.. johnson replied that it was per-
fectly accurate. Birthstone and treacle
was our medicine" said he, "and lit was adj
ministered by Mrs. Squeers,' and," he dryly
added, ga half days holiday was always CIV
en- on the occasion" OF his escape from the
school and subsequent adventures he also
gives lively account. Asked as to what
age he was when he ran away from the school
he replied that he was fifteen. When he was
old enough to be able to realize his surround
ings there were about forty boys in the
school, but at the time he left there were not
moro than twenty scholars receiving instruo-
tion, "the first class in EDglish spelling and
philosophy" having become proportionately
reduced in numbers. The terms were TWEEN
ty guineas, which included board, washing
and everything, not excepting the "hour of
birthstone and molasses," which, while puri-
flying the blood, had the additional advan-
tage Of being valuable substitute fol
breakfast and dinner.
