WHITE CITY WINS PRAISE.

Savin Rock Amusement Center Visited
 by Thousands of Pleasure Seekers.
 The great White City, Savin Rocks newest attraction, opened Saturday af- ternoon and was visited by thousands of people. With bands playing all day and in the evening. and with the shoot the chutes. in full swing, there was a touch of the true Coney Island spirit that gave zest to the place. A .flre- works display in the evening was |another attraction, and the brilliant lighting of the city with it's 12,SO0 cleo tric lights was unlike anything else ever seen in New Haven. Probably 1O.- 900 people visited the White City in the evening.
 The scenic railway was not complet- led sufficiently for the running of cars, but the shoot the chutes was doing a rushing business, and many people ex- Derienced the sensation of the plunge for the first time. The scenic railway will be in running order to-day, and with speed of forty miles an hour in some places ought to be a winner for those who want to get up a breeze this hot weather. Everything will be run ming with the summer vim to-day, and New Haven's slice of Coney Island will make pronounced hit.

But our people evince deep interest

The influence OF newspapers in aid

journalists has been to cry down
everything antiquated and traditio al,
as it was the order of the day to a 'l-

counterpart in the civilized west.
The most important influence ex-
er.ed was to arouse the public to
demand for a national assembly. In
pursuing this end many newspaper
men were accused of publishing Sc
dirious matter and many were forced
to pay the penalty. But finally the
increasing pressure decided the en-
peror. and the intention to open a
national diet was finally announced.
1t undoubtedly was a victory for the
press"
