CONSUMERS LEAGUE.
CONSTITUTION ADOPTED
Objects of League Tersely Stated The Newsboys
 Half Holiday.

The Consumers league had a very interesting meeting Monday at Center church chapel at which a constitution was adopted, an extract from which, which gives in a nutshell the objects of the organization, is as follows;
 That the interests of the community demand that all workers shall receive fair living wages and that goods should be produced under sanitary conditions; that the responsibility for some of the worst evils from which producers suf- fer rest with the consumers who seek the cheapest market regardless of how cheapness is brought about; that it is therefore the duty of consumers to find ou. under what conditions the articles they purchase are produced and dis trbuted, and insist that these condi- tions shall be wholesome and consistent with a respectable existence on the part of the workers.
 At the meeting also a committee ap- pointed to try to find out how many newsboys there are in town and their ages reported that the number, as es- tin'ated, ranges from 100 to 460. The boys are not licensed, as is the case with bootblaclls so it is impossible to find out definitely in regard to the ages of the boys. According to city ordinance no child under the age of ten is allowed to peddle any article on the streets.
 We learn that there is a draft of an ordinance before the aldermen to meet this issue, and it is hoped that the al- dermen are going to pass this meas uro.
 l Another committee reported that it has visited all the department stores and that it was received with great courtesy and frankness. Several of the heads of department stores said ! they would be glad to welcome giving l the Saturday half holiday during July and August if il could be done with ! fairness to all The patronage of the stores on Saturday afternoons and evenings is chiefly, they said, from the suburbs, the trolley cars bringing to the stores a large number of these pat rons, They count the evening as one of the pleasures of the week, when their friends can be seen, fashions noted and a general good time enjoyed This gentleman who was speaking said also: We are the servants of the public. and 1t would not be fair tt
 these people who come in from tht country, if we should shut down on the only evening they could come ln
 The principal officers of the Consum
 CTS league are: Mrs. Isham Tender,
 son. president; Mrs William W, Far.
 nam, vice president; Mrs. w. A. Gran.
 Vile, second vice president; Mrs. Irv.
 ing Fisher, secretary; Miss Bonner

Col Cody comes direct from Madison square garden, New York city, where he recently ful- filled one of the most financially sue cessful engagements ever known in the history of that famous building. The Wild West has been abroad for the past four years, and it over five years since Col. Cody exhibited in this city. He has assembled for his pres cnt tour one of the best exhibitions ever seen under his management The battle of Summit Springs will be the chief scene in which the Indians will appear, and they will be seen one hum ded strong in a stirring reproduction of that historic conflict. The red men, however will also be seen in two other pictures of early fronties life. "A holi-
 day at the 'T. E. ranch" and An attack on an an emigrant Train" In
 these two scenes the everyday life of the pioneer will be produced and the dangers which beset the pathfinder will be vividly set forth. Another typical western scene will be The great train hold-up," in which a prac-
 tical locomotive drawing a train of cars will he held up and robbed in true western fashion Incidental to tho holiday scene Ray Thompson's g
 trained western range horses will dis play their proficiency in high-school acts; Johnny Baker vii give exhibi- tions of sharp shooting, and Devlin's 1 Zouaves will introduce intricate drills ! and difficult feats of wall sealing. l There will be a large collection of buck [ ing horses, and Anna Schaetfer will | give specimens of her ability to control 1 these ill-tempered mustangs and bron- 1 chos The Wild West will, in short, 1 be an exhibition typically western in all particulars and at every perform
 ance the original and only Buffalo l Bill, last all the great scouts, will be 1 seen on horseback, displaying hIs l skill as a marksman, and participating
 in the big battle scenes, at all times
 personally directing the unique and
 thoroughly American exhibition which
 he was the first to create and still per
 petuates.

DEFENDERS MONUMENT.
\ Good Suggestion Comes Qultc Too
 Late.

TO the Editors of Journal and Courier:
 and Courier-Sir
 The discussions that have occupied the columns of your paper relative 10 the designs fthe proposed Defenders monument has led me to call attention to what actually took place at tho West River bridge at the time of the British invasion. It is extremely sug- gestive for a monument to commemer- ate that event, and while I appreciate that this may come too late still it seems to be if it could be followed out would smooth over some of the objec- tions that have been raised to the pres ent design
 1 quote from my fathers Cthe late Captain Charles H. Townshend) Brit ish Invasion of New Haven, on page 62, as to how the cannon that was sta toned at the bridge was brought and served there.
 "On the morning of the invasion David Atwater took his Dutch horse and whifletree, and with some of his friends went to an armed vessel which way layng at the wharf and dsmouatel one of it's six pound brass guns, tan old Spanish piece) and, hitching bis horse to it, drew it uot to West bridge and then mounted 1t with stone and rails from the fence and fired several shots at the approch of the enemy"
 How simple and effective, how true to this tradition and how probable from all we know of the means at the hands of the defenders would be @ me morial consisting of a Spanish brass cannon mounted on base represent ing an old stone wall It would be artistic and not subject to the objec- tionable criticism that is sure to rise from the use of figures. I mentioned this matter some time ago to MT. 1 George D. Sanborn and he used it, SC I understood. before the recent com mjttee hearing in Hartford and he was pleased to style it the "Townshend 1 Tradition" While deeply appreciat- 1 ing the. compliment, we can hardly 1 lay claim to the tradition" as a fam ] fly matter

ELM LEAF BEETLE BEGINS DESTRUCTION
New Experiment Station Bulletin Concerning
 Them Out.

A bulletin of fifteen pages and six figures has just been issued by the Con- necticut Agricultural station in this city regarding thls pest, which has been so destructive of elm trees in all parts of the state.
 The bulletin is timely, for it appears at just the time when the beetles make their first appearance for the season.
 They spend the winter in belfries of churches, cupolas and garrets, where. by the way. they can be destroyed in great numbers if people would only take the pains to search them out and burn them.
 Just now they are flying to the elms to feed on the opening leaves, eating round holes through them, and to lay clusters of yellow eggs which will hatch about the first of June, The larvae or grubs which hatch from these eggs will destroy the leaves by eating off the soft green tissue from their under surfaces.
 This defoljation greatly weakeus the trees and sometimes kills them, Spray ! ing when done promptly and efficiently will protect the foliage and kill the grubs. About the middle of July the grubs are full grown, crawl down tho trees and go into the pupa stage at ot near the base of the trees. These pupac can be killed by sweeping and burning or by spraying with kerosene emulsion of soapsuds
 After ten days the adults emerge ant may produce a second brood the same year. but most of the damage is done i by the first brood
 In the fall the adults fly again fol shelter to the winter quarters namel above
 The bulletin, No. 155, prepared by W F. Britton, the state entomologst, give full descriptions of this insect in it' several stages and receipts for the va Hous spray mixtures and apparatus used in fighting it.
 The public should be cautioned against the proposition to put a mix ture of secret composition into q h3l, bored in the trunk. in order to protec the foliage against the beetle It fail tl accomplish this and only injures thr tree. Another sonseless mixture Whicl has been quite profitable to its origin aro. Is to coat the haso of the trees for the consideration of one or two dol liars each-with a preparation whicl Ip1eyents the beetle from climbing tn tree, There is nothing in the compost ton, which 1ui kly dies, to keep tn beetles from climbing over it, but as matter of fact, this insect flies instead of crawling into the trees, both seXe having efficient wings.
 The bulletin will be sent on reaues to anyone in the state who applies fo lit to the Connecticut Agricultural sta
 tion. New Haven, Conn.
