THE GROWTH OF LONDON.

MT. Robert Vigers delivered his pres- idential address at the Surveyors h. stitution, Savoy street, recently There was large attendance. Speaking as surveyor of fifty years standing, he had, he said, seen the open spaces taken
 possession of by the extra two million people who had had to be provided for during that time. The population within the administrative county of London had risen from 2,363 274 in 1851 to 4232, 11S in 1891, or about fifty-six persons to the acre. The number of in habited houses was 306,064 in 1851, and 54S 315 in 1881. The serious problem was how to provide population in creasing at the rate of about five hun dred thousand in ten years with the proper means of internal communica- tion. Speaking broadly, the bulk of the heavy traffic of London was be- tween the north and south, or the ter mini of the great railways on each side of the river. The lighter traffic and the ebb and flow of the pedestrian tide was, on the other hand, mainly from east to west. They might wonder what the state of things would be in twenty or thirty years time, and yet nothing had been done to mitigate the growing in- conveniences. The widening of the footpaths had scarcely been considered. The system of tube railways would probably absorb some of the foot traf- fic. but their carrying capacity would soon be reached, and wider roads and pavements and new arteries for wheeled traffic would become impera-

PROJECT ABANDONED.
The Scheme for State Highway Or.
 ganiZatiDn


 ganization.
 Highway Commissioner James H. Macdonald stated on Monday afternoon that he would take no steps, for the present at least, to hold the contempla- ted meeting of prominent business men and those in charge of the local affairs of the towns of the state, to form an or ganization to forward the movement for good roads and general public improve ment Indeed, from the tenor of his re- marks, one would be justified in infer ring that Mir. Macdonald has aban- doned the project entirely. His deci- sion is not due to any weakening of his faith in the feasibility of his plan to create movement for the improvement of the state that would he co-extensive with the boundaries of Connecticut in it's scope. His faith is the sublime faith of the devotee. But, he says, circum- stances have combined to prevent the realization of his hopes and the achievement of his ambition, to create an esprit de corps among those promi- nent in the public and business life of the state that would make for the gen. eral welfare. Nor does he think that the people are apathic towards his plan, He believes they look upon it with a great deal of favor that could be easily developed into enthusiasm. He points to pile of letters nearly three hundred in all, from prominent men all over the state, who have writ ten, expressing their willingness to at tend meeting in the capitol for the rI1 of cip hie, o proof of it's general indorsement incl dentally; the writers would enjoy the hospitality in the shape of a refreshing lunch which the genial commissioner would tender them with that gracious ness which he knows so well how to show when he is acting the part of host. He says he has been too busy with his pubic duties to perfect the ar engagements for the meeting, and that the absorbing interest taken by the public in other questions, such as the war with Spain. which even MT. Mac donald comedies has been more momen- tous than the good-roads movement has temporarily diverted attention from his scheme. He thinks the Spanish war has been particularly calamitous to Connecticut, in that it took the place of his pet project in public attention.
 Commissioner Macdonald is congrat- ulating himself on his foresight in or derng work on state roads to be dis continued on the 26th-last Saturday. The blizzard showed that he was some thing of weather prophet. He had a presentment some time ago that some thing extraordinary weatherwise was going to happen the latter part of this month, and hence his circular ordering work to be stopped last Saturday. He was down in Haddam that day, and in spected the finishing touches to work His order does not apply to the blasting of rocks and the work on certain kinds of gravel road.-Hartford Times

BLACKSTONE'S MJ

CENCE.
 A gift of one hundred thousand dol lars has been made to the Blackstone Memorial library by Hon. Timothy B. Blackstone Of Chicago, who presented the library building to the town in 1896,
 Hon. Timothy B. Blackstone is na- tive of Branford and spent his early life there. When young man he re- moved to Chicago, and became a well known and influential business man there. His early attachment to Bran ford has shown itself in several ways since, notably in his magnificent gift in 1896 to the town of four hundred thou sand dollars for a library building, six thousand volumes, and an endowment fund of one hundred thousand dollars. The structure is one of the most beau tiful library buildings in America, and is made of finely dressed light granite for the base and dolomite marble for the facade. In regard to equipment, in- terior decoration and appointment the library cannot be equalled in New Eng land
 The library now contains ovec seven thousand volumes, and with the NorK- ing income from it's two hundred thou sand dollar endowment will be in ad- vance of many of the largest cities in New England. The library was built by MT. Blackstone in memory of his fath- CT, Captain James Blackstone, life long res dent of this place.
 Mr. Blackstone is president of the Chicago and Alton railroad and a mill lionaire. He is an unc of w. N. Blackstone and Mrs. Frederick F. Camp of Norwich city. The late J. De Traf- ford Blackstone, of that city, was also his nephew.

A PLAGUE OF MONKEYS.
Their Massacre a Serious Question in
 India

Their Massacre a Serious Question in
 India.
 The monkey slaue hter question has, it appears, assumed a more serious as- pect just now, It has caused consider able excitement among orthodox Him. dus not only in Orissa and Bengal, but as far as the news has travelled. We seriously warn the authorities against this iniudicious proposal of the Puri city fathers lest the question should lead to some serious consequences, The religious feelings of orthodox Hindus, who form the majority in India cannot be trifed with in this manner, and the lessons of the Benares riots should not be thrown away. We are against this slaughter more for the maintenance of peace and order than for anything else. The massacre of the quadrumana itself is a far uglier nuisance than all the mischief committed by monkeys put to- gether. It may be, however, that these so-called ancestors of humanity are RlVlng q SUOu u6dl ul lIUuDlt dl uli, but where do they not? Most of the principal seats of Hindu pilgrimage are literally colonized by these restless brutes. but are they not tolerated from time immemorial and has there ever been such crusade against them? If it is so difficult to put up with them any longer at Puri, cannot they be ban ished from the town rather than killed?
 There are villages in Bengal where these wicked creatures sometimes do considerable harm to villagers, who, by the way, instead of having them swept out of existence, catch the leader of the party with a process known to every child in Bengal, and, painting his face hideously, hold mirror before his eyes the village chaps making soaring noise with accompaniments of dhols and cymbals-with the result that, fol- lowed precipitately by the whole party, the heroic captain beats a nasty re- treat, never to return to the village again in his life It would be far better to have these mischief-makers deported to some distant parts than endangering public peace by shocking the religious feelings of the pilgrims by such as, in their view, inhuman action. As many as fifteen out of the twenty-one Pun dits consulted at Puri are averse to slaughter, and the remaining six dwin- dIe down to a microscopic minority against the mass of Pundit opinion sup porting orthodoxy in this country. On ; the other hand, almost all the Engl sh and vernacular newspapers in Bengal, Behar and Orissa are strongly prot st. ing. As to the Puri commissioners and their "airs of absolutism" the Indian Mirror, in a leading article, invites the immediate interference of government. Tt is,' says our contemporary, ''the or | thodox Hindus that have made Puri, and as they have made it. so can they mar it. The time may have come for the intervention of Sir John Wood burn in settlement of this question of monkey slaughter at Puri." And sure ly the time has ceme.-Lahore Tribune.

tive. What had hitherto been done was mere tinkering, and an enormous ex- penditure would have to be incurred in further widening streets like Oxford street, Holborn, the Strand, Fleet street and Ludeate Hill, which were original ly laid out for a population one-tenth the present size. The value of proper ty had enormously risen in the city; and he had purchased for seventy-three thousand pounds property for which the grandfather of the vendors had giv- en fifteen hundred pounds.-London Times.
