ARE THE PARKS EoR rHE People

ARE TIL E PARKS FOR THE PEOPLE?
That is strange excuse which is
made by those who seem to be planning
to keep large part of the people OF
New Haven out of their own parks.
They say that railroads which would
make it easy for the people to enjoy
that which belongs to them would mar
the face of Nature" This is ingenious
and may possibly impress some who
would not like to see 1.-THE face Of
Nature" wantonly marred. But we
would like to ask those who are i'm
pressed by it If human nature does not
deserve consideration in this matter
and rather indefinite phrase. How
much would 1.-THE face of Nature" be
marred by a well and properly built
electric railroad to the top of East Rock
park or West Rock park? Any more
than it is now marred by the roads
which accommodate the carriages Of
the wealthy and the bicycles of those
who can afford to own or hire bicycles?
And is it more important that THE
face of Nature" should not be even
slightly marred than it is that the
human nature which can't get to the
top of the great rocks in carriages or
bicycles should be able to get there in
beautiful and swift-rushing electric
cars, which many look upon as orna-
ments and not as marrers of "the face
of Nature?"
The real question is, are the parks
for the people? There can be but one
answer to it. And If the people find
that they have given power over their
parks into the hands of gentlemen who
have, or profess to have, more regard
for ''the face of Nature than they
have for the good of the people
change must be made. 1t is well
enough to keep the old Green sacred
new parks should be kept sacred to the
use and the good of the people, and
if that can't be done without scratch
ing "the face of Nature" little it must
be carefully scratched and Nature and
the Park commissioners must stand it
for the benefit of the people.

ings," writes the Admiral, afford adj
ditional evidence OF the observed facts
that the deepest holes are not In the
centres of the oceans, but are near land,
as two of them are within 100 miles of
the islands of the Kermadeo group and
the other not far from shoal. Doubt
less deeper depressions in the bed of the

that this sounding of SO,9SO feet shows

Triton n. DOOLITTLE

When, about three months ago, Mr..
Doolittle laid down the heavy burdens
of the important office which he had
so long and SO faithfully filled the at
tention of this community was forcibly
called to the fact that there must be
an end to human activity and a rest
from human labor. He had been so
long prominent figure in public af-
fairs and he had displayed such power
and persistence in living and doing that
it was hard to realize that he had prac-
tfcally come to the end of his uncom-
monty vigorous, useful and successful
career. And though he was more than
was hoped that he still had before him
some years of peace and rest among
the scenes of his combats and his vic
tories. This hope has failed, but the
peace and the rest that are, not of earth
have come to him.
Mr.. DoolittIe will be chiefly remem-
bered in this community and through
out the State on account of his work as
States Attorney. 1t covered a period of
seventeen years, and they were years
Of honest, thorough, skillful and eff
cient labor for the good Of the public
not better than any man in Connecti-
cut. He was entirely fearless in his eff
forts to apply it. He would fight till
the last armed foe expired or
surrendered He made himself re-
spected and admired by the bar
and the bench and he made himself
terror to criminals. And yet he could
be and often was very considerate and
merciful toward those whom his idea
of his duty allowed him to help. Many
men and many women have cause to
remember his kindness toward them
when they most needed kindness. He
was especially willing to do all that
could properly be done for a young
man or young woman who had taken
| the first step In crime and who gave
promise of the possibility of reform.
One of his last official acts was a kind
and a generous one.
| Though Mr.. Deolittle had come to be
| thought of almost wholly in connection
with the office of States Attorney, he
| had held other offices, including that of
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. He also filed large place in
the practice of law, in which he was
very successful He was a useful and
an influential citizen in many ways.
He was jealous in behalf of his own
rights and the rights of Others. He de-
spised sham and hypocrisy and knew
| how to effectually expose them. He
| had a fine sense of flumor and superior
| skill in satire. He was a relentless
enemy and a firm and loyal friend. He
| was a good husband and father. He
| lived his long life strongly and indie
pendently. He feared no man and he
fawned upon no man. He will be held
in long and respectful remembrance by
| ali who knew his sturdy. his honest and
his honorable quality.

Rear Admiral Wharton of the British
navy has made public some facts con-
corning some extraordinarily deep
soundings taken recently in the South
Pacific ocean. He says that the British
surveying ship Penguin, while return
ing from the Tonga group to New Zea-
land, sounded in three places where the
depth exceeds 5000 fathoms. Up to the
present the deepest water found was
to the northeastward of Japan where
in 1874 the United States steamer Tus-
carora obtained a cast of 1855 fathoms
The Penguin's soundings were 5,922,
5.147, and 5,155 fathoms. The increase
is, therefore. 500 fathoms, or 5000 feet.
These sounding were separated from
one another by water much less deep
and the bottoms may not be connected.
The distance from the two extreme
soundings was 450 miles Specimens
Of the bottom We're recovered from the
two deeper soundings, and proved to be
the usual red clay found in all the deep

A prize of $3.50 for method of inocu-

mercial association of Pendleton, Ore

thorities and various farmers organiza-
lions will add to the sum offered. The
farmers of that region are at their wits
end as to how to mitigate the plague of
squirrels. Tons of strychnine have
been used in the effort to exterminate
the squirrels by poisoning them, but lit
tie relief is had from this or any other
method heretofore used.

SYDNEY, Oct. 27th.-News has been
received of another massacre at New
Guinea. The yacht Lizzie, owned and
sailed by Capt. Webster, who is MAX
ing a cruise around the world, lay off
the Dutch possessions in New Guinea,
early in August. Some of the crew
went ashore for a days shooting, but
shortly after the boat reached the
shore one of the sailors came running
back pursued by a horde of natives.
He managed to swim aboard amid a
shower of arrows and spears. Three
other members of the crew were I'M
able to escape, and were killed and
eaten. The boat in which the crew
landed, together with five guns, were
captured by the natives. For five days
the yacht was unable to get away from
her anchorage. Large bodies of ma
tives made continuous attempts to
board her, and several of them were
shot.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27th.-The
splendid gameness with which Mr..
Bryan is fighting the presidential cleo
ton is attracting the sympathy of the
workmen. He is delivering 20
speeches a day. Mr.. Hanna, McKin-
leX's chief manager, says that McKin-
ley's success is assured.
1t is expected that vast boards of
gold will be released if Mckinley is
elected President.
Henry George, after an extensive
tour through the Western States, says
he is confident that Bryan will be
elected President.
Bryan is exhibiting wonderful ener-
gy in conducting his campaign. He
has spoken in 40 cities and last week
he addressed audiences aggregating
over 1000 900 people. He is confident
he will be returned by a majority of
over 800 votes.
The Democrats declare that McKin-
ley has spent over 100000 in bribery.
A special train full of Generals and
another of Governors is visiting every
town, and the distinguished occupants
are addressing meetings in the inter
ests of Mckinley.
The excitement throughout the
States is intense, and the bitter feel
ing increases as the campaign pro-
ceeds.
