A Good Book.

A G00d BOOK.
 Mrs. Sara Andrew Shafer's recent story of child life in the middle West, The Day Before Yesterday" has been compared to nearly all the classics of child life and village life. from "Craw- ford" to '"The Golden Age" One un-
 sympathetic reviewer accused the au-
 thor of writing an imitation of Ste venson's "Will O the Mill" Mrs. Sha- fer writes to her publishers to express her gratitude to the reviewer for the pleasure she experienced in reading Stevenson's beautiful story, of which
 she had never before heard. "The Day
 Before Yesterday" has just gone into It's second edition. Of this book Miss Eleanor Hoyt wrote in The Lamp: The
 story has a charm of dear common
 things into which understanding has read beauty book for
 which readers who love fragrant, lei-
 surely living will rise and call her

but which promote the advantage chief ly of those who have the time and the means to enjoy them for driving or walking. or other kinds Of leisurely re- creation.
 But we are now endeavoring to wid- en their usefulness in other ways.
 This year we have set apart spaces in some of them for use as athletic grounds for young men and boys, and We hope next year to do the same thing in other parks as far as practicable. We have also made a beginning of pro- viding playgrounds for young children by placing a few swings in one or two parks, but the beginning is small and we are anxious to enjoy it. New Ha- ven is one of the few large cities of our land which does not contain any suitable playgrounds of liberal size for small children. We greatly need such 2 playground, one of ample space, with pleasant shades and fitted up with ap- plianeas for amusement, and shelter house with sanitary conveniences; a place of rest during the hot summer months for the hundreds of little chil- dren pining in the crowded quarters of the city, whose parents cannot afford to take them to the mountain side or seashore; a place where the school children can play in on holidays, and where mothers and nurses can take their babies and find a rest with fresh air and pleasant surrounding. Such, a place we are now endeavoring to se- cure, bordering on Cold Spring and Or ange streets-an ideal tract for the pur- pose, some fifteen acres in extent, be- ing almost under the shadow of East Rock. To carry out the project it is necessary for the commission to pur- chase a piece of land adjoining East Rock park at a cost of s10,O0O 1000 of which has been contributed by members of the commission and some half dog en generous friends A public appeal for the remaining $s,0O0 has been before our citizens for several months. but regret to say that during all that pe- riod there has been no response. We had hoped that the project would com mend itself to universal sympathy, and ! would meet with prompt and liberal support. We have not entirely relinr quished that hope, and ii is our pur- pose before long to renew our appeal to the public. When we do so we hope that every member of this Chamber of Commerce will lend us his cordial aid and influence to secure general and generous response
 A gentleman said to me the other day, "New Haven is park poor" and there may be others who have thought that we have acquired more parks than we can take care of. In other words, to use a phrase appropriate to this oc- casion, that we have bitten off more than we can chew. But think that little reflection will convince such doubters that we have not overdone i the matter in our acquisition of land for park purposes. In the first place they must remember that parks are not merely luxury to a city, nor even an expensive necessity, but they are (unlike most other municipal institu- tions) money producing investment. It has been the experience of all cities (and New Haven is no exception) that parks if not purchased at extravagani

 Vice President Danaher said after the meeting that the league was now ready to meet the Bridgeport manager on any and all grounds.

In THE last Indiana Bulletin of Charities and
Correction there appears article county ails in
which the following paragraph occurs: "In most
ails there is attempt to separate prisoners. The
congregate in the corridors and spend their time
in gambling, recounting their crimes and telling
indecent stories Mixed with all this is strain of
vulgarity and profanity flavor Of tobacco and the
scent of unwashed human beings, together with the
odors of the place of confinement Into such place
is put the old offender and the ncorrigible boy the
hardened criminal and the witness awaiting trial.
They gathered about the stove, the window,
over game of cards. The tendency is to draw all
there gathered downward. The young boy, or even
the young man, there may become enamored with
the glamour of the criminals tale and be led into
paths of crime. In the majority of cases, jails
but places of preparation for criminal ways. They
the schools of crime where masters to teach
those less knowing in such things the lessons of their
craft These schools are expensive ones How
many young prisoners there who have been
helped into criminal lives and led to adopt of
crime through the instruction obtained and the
inspiration received in of these miscellaneous
companies congregated in the county Jail"
THERE'S just enough truth in the foregoing to make
it misleading. In most jails there is no necessity
to separate prisoners The average jail is in small
country town and seldom harbors more than half a
dozen prisoners at once. OF this number four FIVE
are awaiting trial Until they found guilty the
law presumes them to be innocent, and it would be
manifestly unfair to subject them to severe discipline
AS for gambling in county jails, very few sherifs
would permit such thing. Those doing would
soon lose their positions. OF course the young boy
or man "may" become enamored with the glamour of
the criminals tale, but the chances that if it is
his first oense the severity of Jail life will knock all
the romance out of lawbreaking and if he is incor-
rigibe and old offender he is hardened before he
enters the Jail. How many young boys annually get
into Jail anyway The whole article is tissue of
exaggerations and is unjust to large and conscien
! tious body of public servants.

that it has profoundly shaken their faith in this

The granting of a service pension to every Civil
War veteran that has reached the age Of 81 years
step in the right direction It has meet with very
general approval. OF course the South Objects but
that was to be expected. Protests have also been
made by certain enthusiasts such as the editor of
the Northwestern Mi1zey-men with exalted ideas of
patriotism. They do not count Office holders
unanimously support Mr.. Ware in this ruling. The
republicans approve because it shows the disinterest
edness Of the administrations Love for the old
soldier causes the democrats to rejoice. The mug
wumps pleased because they believe that so long
as the tariff exists way must be found to get rid Of
the treasury surplus. No Civil War veteran who is
not actually in need will take advantage of the new
ruling Experience has proved that men who deserve
pensions are the only ones to ask for them. Nissan
thropes exaggerate the element of cupdity in human
nature.
America is rich country; surely she can afford
to be grateful. To permit any man who has carried
arms in her service to go unrewarded would be to
her everlasting disgrace. In her hour of prosperity
let her not forget those who made prosperity possible
The new pension ruling is but short step in the
right direction It is merely beginning Not only
should all Civil War veterans be pensioned but
every last man that marched under the stars and
stripes in the with Spain should also receive his
eight dollars per month from grateful people. The
country has plenty Of money. Why not spend it?
Nay, further every national guardsman, whether he
has seen service not, should be pensioned. He
has worn the uniform, he has carried the banner.
He was willing to lay down his life at his countrys
call Let him in.
Germany pensions every citizen that reaches a
given age She feels that to live in the fatherand
entities to recognition from his government.
America need not go far. The goal will be reached
when she provides for all who have worn the blue

DIR. LAWRENCE F. FLICK Of Philadelphia, a
specialist in pulmonary diseases, has created some
discussion by announcing that tuberculosis is the
most prolific of crime in the world. Of course
it is It is the most common of all serious ailments
All disease breeds crime. Malaria does, typhoid
does, rheumatism does. Whenever men are poor
and sick and homeless and out of work, the chances
are in favor of their becoming desperate A des-
perate man is only step removed from criminal
His judgment is warped, his of justice is out
ragged, the instinct Of self preservation dominates
him. He steals without conjunction, because he
must live.
When the tenement houses in the larger cities
well ventilated and sanitary crime will not
but it will diminish. One cause of it will be re-
moved. If the time ever comes when all the sick Of
the poor are properly cared for and when there is
fresh air for ALL shall require fewer to police
our cities and shall not have to enlarge prisons
each year. A healthy body usually harbors healthy
mind.

In GERMANY the lot of the fake physician is not
happy one There are laws against advertising the
cure of every known i'll and those laws enforced
as one Schroeder recently of Berlin testify He
is now in prison for two years for dipping wealthy
women. In this country fake is permitted to gull
the public to his hearts content His trade is seldom
interfered with by the authorities unless he is guilty
Of fragrant malpractice. He is parasite that is
in evidence
All quacks do not advertise but it is safe to say
that most physicians that advertise quacks. If
they could do what they assert they can do they
would be millionaires in five years. The reputable
physician builds up his practice by keeping his
patients and becoming their regular medical adviser;
the quack doesn't expect to treat the same person
twice. He squeezes all the money he squeeze
