For Economy and Humanity.

The May issue of .sThe Connecticut Citizen" is largely devoted to the two matters now receiving very special at- tention from the Connecticut Temper ance Union and it's secretaries-a system of probation and state reformatory. The paper gives some very significant figures from jail reports, and other valuable information bearing upon these points. With commitments to Connecticut iails increasing 16 per cent. in two years, 50 per cent of prisoners having been in prison before. 1t is time people were looking into con- ditions. Massachusetts. Rhode Island, New York and New Jersey are working tho probation plan with signal success. ''The Reformatory Idea" is not less practical.
 A large edition of this paper has been printed and J. Fl. James, of Rockville, will be delighted to send copies free for general distribution. The awakening and education of public sentiment on these lines is good work.

BENJAMIN'S OPENING.
Ten Floors occupied by the We'll
 Known Wagon Man.


 Known Wagon Man.
 The Winsted Citizen of recent date has column account of BenjamiD's opening from which we take the following:
 Among the places of interest which stamp Winsted as a thoroughly dis tiuctive town is Roscoe Beniamin's car riage repository, or. as he pleases to call it, "Connecticut's Larsest Carnage Re. pository," standing on Elm and Center streets, and comprising three large wooden structures, one of which-a new four story building of Colonial style, 40x55 feet-has just been completed and is probably the finest building adapted for the carriage business in the state. The plans were prepared by Architect Benedict of Waterbury, and the building was built especially for the business. The forty foot front has an elegant plate glass show window and there is not post or obstruction on any of the four floors. This building like the others, is finished in hard wood, ceiled with yellow pine, highly varnish- cd, giving a soft. rich appearance. The repository is lighted throughout by electricity.
 Mir Benjamin has between 30,000 and 40, 900 feet of floor space. There are ten large floors brimful of new goods, between 400 and 500 wagons being on exhibition The buildings and floors are all connected and Morse Williams carriage elevator runs from the base ment to the roof Entering by the Elm street entrance, the visitor is attracted by the cosy little waiting room and private office, where on the walls are hung photographs of many we'll known steeds scme of which it has been MT Beniamin's pleasure to own. In the store room proper, which occupies the first floor of the corner building. are displayed various lines of fancy horse goods. Besides many novelties there are blankets, robes, horse covers, water. proof covers. rus 8, mats, hassocks, team and work harness, etc etc. A portion of this floor is given up to the display of Eagle bicy cles, for which MT Ben iamin is agent.
 Adjoining the store room is the new harness room, where may be seen by far the hsndsomest harness display in the state. One hundred sets of single and double harness are shown complete, on the new patent revolving racks, includ- ing long tug s-s short tug coach har- ness. Cole ,ider. gentleman's driv- ing, g -ss collar runabouts, flexible sadde road harness, etc.
 Mir Benjsmin's repository Is visited every week by the swellest and weslthi- est people in New England and he has worked up large out of town trade to which he caters especially.
