MAYORS CABINET MEETING.

Some Suggestions Offered Last Night
fi by Superintendent Spier.
A regular meeting of the Mayor s
cabinet was held last night and various
matters of more or less Importance con-
nected with the city government were
discussed. Representatives of the va
rious departments We're present, and
Mayor Driscoll spoke of the Importance
of the estimates for the departments
being ready by Oct. 10, to submit to the
Board of Finance.
Among the suggestions made and
discussed was one by Superintendent
Spier of the Department of Charities
and Correction relative to the care of
the sick persons who are charges on
the public.
Heretofore each year an appropria-
ton has been made and included in the
account of the Department of Charities
and Correction to pay for the care of
sick persons at Springside Home. Mr..
Spier suggests that instead of this be-
ing done a lump sum be appropriated
for the care of such patients at the
hospitals in the city, without the Char
titles and Correction Department hav-
ing anything to do with it. He thinks
that in this way the sick persons would
receive better care and that the cost to
the city would be less, since the facil-
ties at the hospitals would permit of
handling of such cases more cheaply
than they can be handled al Spring.
Side.
Mr.. Spier also suggested that all the
New Haven insane be sent to the State
hospital in Middletown, instead of be-
ing cared for at Springside and thought
that to have them taken care of at
Middletown would cost less than at
Springside. He also advocated the es-
Establishment of a workhouse at SPRING
side. His suggestions were quite ia
Eorably received.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR.
Recently l sent circular inquiry
to the prison authorities Of the various
states and territories for information
concerning changes In wardenship,
prison industries, legislation and ad-
ministrative methods since the Hart
ford meeting of this association. Re-
plies received from twenty-nine states
and territories indicate practically no
revision Of productive industries dur
ing the year, except the establishment
of binder-twine plants In Kansas and
North Dakota and the erection OF a
brick plant in New Mexico, and show
only ten changes in the executive Aeads
of penal and reformatory institutions.
4 OF the changes four were due to death
and four or five to political causes.
The number of political changes was,
unless I am in error, smaller than for
a recent year, and carries the crafty
ing suggestion that the day of admins
tering prisons upon the spoils system
with each change in the state admins
tration are gradually passing away.
Not too rapidly can those days part
forever and not too soon can the pris-
ons throughout the country be placed
upon a civil service basis on which as
certained fitness rather than political
influence shall be the determining fac
tor in the selection of executive officers.
Ingenuity could not devise a more eff
fective agency to hamper efficient
penal administration and to retard
prison reform than the spoils system.
Prisons, more than any other class of
public institutions, should be divorced
from politics upon the ground of in
compatibility of temperament. Penal
administration, constantly encounter
ing difficulties and calling for high
qualities of both mind and heart, de-
mands trained talent and thorough
equipments and needs the service of
specialists. No branch of government
is confronted by problems more deli
cate and perplexing than those which
are always arising in penal manage
ment and whose solution requires the
qualities that are born of preparation,
and the skill that comes only from ex-
perience. The general recognition of
the fact that prisons and reformatories
are not legitimate field for partisan
strife and for the political headsman
and that tenure of office should be con-
dftioned on demonstrated merit rather
than on vote-getting influence would
impart great uplift to the administra-
ton Of these inetitutione

BRILLIANT FIREWORKS DISPLAY
Big Crowd Witnessed Muro's Celebrs
ton on Wooster Green

Big Crowd Witnessed Muro's Celebra-
ton on Wooster Green.
Every year the Thanksgiving services
held for Antonio Muro, the Italian bar
Der who thus celebrates his recovery
from an illness that threatened to re-
move him from this life grow grander
and grander in the magnitlcence with
which they are characterized. Muro
started the celebration Sunday with
special services at st. Michaels church
Last evening it was continued with a
grand display of fireworks on Wooster
green, which was witnessed by five or
six thousand people. During the dis
play the italian band rendered a roper
toire of patriotic airs.
Aside from the brilliant skyrockets
and bombs, the object of greatest at
traction was an Illuminated framework,
surmounted by a cross, which was set
in front Of the church. Thousands of
blazing vari-colored glasses hung from
this in festoons, forming a centerpiece
of real beauty and attractiveness. The
band, stationed near by was kept in
strong relief by the red fire which was
kept constantly burning. The fireworks
will be repeated this evening.
Four years ago Muro recovered from
a violent attack of illness, almost mir
aculously. While on his sick bed he
had vowed to give thanks to God in
this manner every year If he should
ever regain his health.

Cape Town, Sept. al. w. Sauer,
the former commissioner of public

olution in the Cape parliament to-day,
declaring that the spirit of independ-
ence in the Transvaal and Orange
River colonies might be kept down with
bayonets for time, but it would rise
again. The peace of South Africa, he
further asserted, called for the restora-
tion of the independence of the two re-
publics.
The premier, Sir j. Gordon Sprigg,
replied vigorously, advising Mr.. Sauer
to address himself to Messrs. Kruger
and Steyn.
Mr.. Schreiner, former premier, moved
an amendment to Mr. Sauer's resolution
to the effect that the two republics
of the queen with guarantee preserv-
should be placed under the protection
ing their national existence.
The house, by vote of Al against 80
decide to go into committee of supply,

READVTLLE CIRCUIT RACES.
Winners of the Various Events Yester-
Iay.

Boston, Sept 24.-With an open air
horse show as a special attraction and
the $4,000 stallion race on Thursday as
the brilliant feature, the New England
Trotting Horse Breeders association
began it's fourteenth race meeting at
| the Readville track this afternoon. For
the opening day the card was a good
one, but the attendance was small and
the track events dragged to weari-
some degree.
The attention on the track was CEN
| tered in the free-forall, with four
starters, and which proved an easy
winner for Frank Bogash in the end,
for both Conner and Prince Alert, who
had divided favoritism In the pools be
fore the first heat and had clinched
grip on the money at the end OF that
time, failed to last out. Prince Alert
in the early heats seemed to have more
speed than Driver McClary cared to let
out, pulling at his bit quite saYagely
but he failed to use his speed to a Win
ming advantage in the stiff brushes from
the third post to the wire. Everybody
thought that the big black gelding Con-
nor would do something, but he some
NOW COulu HCl SCl Wy I'OSetoAi wiz Nii~
opportunity came for him to lead the
way to the wire.
At no time was Chehalis worth men
tioning in the race although finishing
third in the last heat after Prince Alert
broke just as he was coming down to
the finish.
The 2:19 class was we'll split up after
the little gray gelding Brandywine had
gone tired in the third heat. Hunter
Hill, who finally won the money, proved
to have the endurance. for in speed he
barely held his own with Dolly Bidwell
and Coral.
The 2:14 class went over after the ia
vorite, Alkalone, in the second heat had
been badly beaten out at the wire by
three horses, four of the trotters finish
ing so that noses had to be watched.
The card tomorrow, both in races
and in classes to be judged on the tan
bark, is one of the best yet seen at the
track. Summary:
