present this wonderful play with an ex-

ton new and complete in every detail
"The Lion and the Mouse" tine play
that all America il talking about Just
now, will be presented here by Henry B.
Harris and with company that has
been especially selected to insure per.
feet representation. Charles Klein
wrote 'sThe Lion and the Mouse. and
the best Judges Of matters dramatic
have given him credit for creating the
great American play. for which every
body has been patiently waiting for
many years. The subject which Mr..
Klein selected is one Of vital interest to
America at this time-the influence
which the financial powers of The coun-
try are exerting and he has treated the
matter in a mastery manner. While
the drama is serious Ia its aspect there
Is an abundance Of humor introduced in
the broadsides Of as keen-edged wit as
it has been the playgoefs pleasure to
listen to in many years.

THIS EVENINGS mEEr1yG.

More than common interest attaches to the meeting this evening of the New Haven board of education, when for the first time the petition of the pub- lie school teachers will be considered by the full board. Not only are the teachers concerned in the action of the board, The parents of the city are concerned, the city itself is interested and the school system is in a sense on trial.
 We have said frankly that the re- port of the committee on schools is too commercial a paper in it's outlook. It lets figures, representing mony in bulk, dominate it's view of duty. The real question involved is the underpayment of the teachers, on the one hand, and the welfare of the school system, on the other hand. The board of educa- tion cannot afford to let this view es- cape it's attention, any more than it can afford to let the commercial view of the committee on schools dictate it's decision. Because that committee has worked out scheme of payment, which defes careful analyzation and perpetuates gross dlscrimlnations be- tween teachers of a corresponding use- fitness and worth, Is no reason why that scheme should be accepted. It can only be intelligently studied with the petition of the teachers alongside of 1t, with their admirably conceived understanding of their rights.
 The teachers, in the schedules they have made, do not ask for exorbltant compensation as compensation is offer led in cities of similar size and wealth. It Is. of course, possible that New Haven cannot afford to pay what lit should pay for such important ser vice, but as a matter of dispassionate judgment, there is no reason to doubt that of the two sets Of recommenda-
 tions which the board has before 1t, that worked out by the teachers is the more just and intelligent. It ought to be. They must, in the very nature of
 things, be better informed both as re- 
 gards what they need on which to live Irespectably, and as regards the val nation placed upon such labor by oth- CT school centers.

IRRIGATION.

Let's irrigate," say the bold, bad men in the saloons of the wild West, or at least, they say so in stories de- scribing the doings in said saloons. Let's irrigate, say the bold, good men who are making the western deserts blossom like the rose. Announcement is made, following the consolidation of several irrigation companies, of a plan to build the largest dam in the world, nine miles northwest of Denver. It will be built by New York concern, and will be mile and a quarter long, 15O feet high and will contain 10000 GOO cubic yards of material It will im- pound 5000 100000 cubic feet of water, sufficient to irrigate more than 100000 acres, and will take the flow of five rivers. The dam and auxiliary sys- tems will cost upward of $4,OOOOOO.
 So the wonder workers go on from big things to bigger things. By and by, we suppose, they will have ar arrangements so that the crops can new CT fail on account of dry weather, Then, if the water doesn't give out In Wall street the boom times will be continuous.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Church Supervision and Generalization
 Does Not Spell Progress.
fsprlngfleld Republican.l


 Action against the proposed union of the ngregationalists, the Protestant Methodists and tho United Brethren has been taken by the old Center church in New Haven. whose pastor Is the llb eral and well-known Rev Dr. Newman Smyth. It is both because of the his- torical prestige of Center church and of its liberality under the long leader ship of pr. Smyth that it's present ac- tion deserves note. Such opposition to the plan of union proposed last March at the conference held in Chicago, and now laid before the individual church. es for action, would not attract atten- ton If taken by narrow and illiberal body. Tho objections of Center church are not to the idea of union, but to the means by which the union would be ef- fected It is declared that the proposed plan would tend to build up "a new denomination, no longer Congregational. with a less elastic and harder ecclesl- astical policy than we or our fathers have ever known" In word, the ob- jection is that the new denomination would be more rather than less cen tralized. and that the autonomy of the local church would not be safeguarded In the formal statement adopted by Center church it is said;
 We believe that the giving up by us, in the manner proposed, of our distinc- tive Congregational principles, would not prove to be the positive contribu- ton which we as Congregationalists are called by our past to give to the unity of the church of the future. We greatly fear, on the contrary, that it would eventually prove to be only the formation of another more determinate and consolidated sect which might stand as a new obstacle in the way of that larger and freer Christian unity, into which all communions are to bring their honor and glory.
 These seem weighty objections. The impression of the oneness of Christian ity to be created by such church union would be strong, and 1t is to be hoped that In time this union and other un- ions will be achieved, but 1t is import ant that they be achieved in a spirit of the utmost freedom. A step toward greater supervision and centralizatior does not spell progress.

4 GOOD FIG URER.

State Senator Briggs professes to have discovered a 'Dabolls Almanac" dating back some thirty years, in which the prediction was made that there would be no summer in 1907.
 Dabon was pretty good figurer, as the boys who had to do the sums" he invented for them discovered. and it may be that he could figure out this wondrous year thirty years ago. And perhaps if Senator Briggs will look over his Daboll collection he may find in the arithmetic some such sum as this: If legislature resolves to ad- journ on the 18th of June, 1907, and does not then adjourn when will it ad- journ?

soME USEFUL NEGROES.

What is this that meets the as- tonished eye? The negroes in some of the southern States paying a larger proportion of the taxes than they re- ceive for their schools and thus in reality contributing to support the white schools? This is the assertion made, and 1t is backed up by convinc- ing figures in the case of South Caro- lima. It appears that the negroes of South Carolina last year paid into the State treasury for educational pur- poses $27S,477, while there was expend- cd by the State for the negro schools only S259,93S, leaving Q balance of $1S,- 544, which may be said to have been the contribution of the negroes for the help of white schools. It is pointed out that $27S,477 was not the total amount of the taxes paid by the South Caro- lima negroes, for if it were there would be an obvious flaw in the argument, since other State functions than that of education would undoubtedly cost

 The Idea is fast getting acceptance that criminal who has been caught and imprisoned may protitably be treated with some regard to his present and future welfare A promising new departure in "criminology" is reported from New South Wales. Heretofore the prisons of New South Wales were con- ducted in about the same manner as prisons elsewhere, but the injustice suf- fered by the prisoners under the pre- valling system appealed strongly to the intelligent men of the colony, who con trlved an entirely new scheme of rewards and punishments which would put premium upon industry and good behavior, and let the matter of prls- oner's comfort rest solely with himself. Commissions are appointed to deal with the prisoners individually on the lines laid down in the general regulations. The classification will be in three grades-the lower, the Intermediate and the higher, and the lower will be divid- ed into two subgrades-the penal and the ordinary. When a prisoner enters upon his term he is placed In the lower grade, and he can rise to the higher by industry and good conduct, but is re- duced to the lower again if he does not maintain his record. In the highest grade a prisoner is permitted to earn nearly full wages, which he ia prlvileg- cd to have sent to his family or kept on deposit for himself Good time" us It is called in thls country, is also provided for, which means that pris- oner who makes a clean record is al- lowed certain portion of his sentence of.
 This is encouraging all around. Per- haps the time will never come when graduation from a prison "summa cum laude" will be something to be proud of, but it may help the graduate to get a chance to work and get a new hold
 in the world.
