AT EW YORK. - Blackwells island,

the site of New York's penal institu-

the hordes of petty criminals and mis-

and larger establishments are proposed
somewhere outside of the city, where
the prisoners and patients may be

the secretary Of agriculture, who ap'
points wardens whose duties embrace
frequent trips to them, putting up
warning notices and otherwise pre-
venting trespassers from molesting
the birds, either out of curiosity or to
collect plumes or eggs,
The recommendation for this re.
serve was indorsed strongly by the
National Association Of Audubon soci
eties for the protection Of birds and
animals, whose expert ornithologist
and field agent visited the islands
and filed an exhaustive report on the
bird breeding qualities and feeding
ground of the native fowl along that
section Of the coast. The creation Of
reserves of this character is strongly
encouraged and supported by the

THE SoURoE OF NEWS.

The cities and towns Of the state of
Connecticut are visited every day in
the week by newspapers printed at a
distance which are dated several hours
after they are printed. The streets of
New Haven are occupied all during
the day with newsboys who pretend to
offer their patrons newspapers fresh
from the press which are sent to press
early in the morning and given the
noon mark. This is nothing short of
doing business under false pretenses
The Journal and Courier has no OBJ
lection to the visitatlons of these de-
ceitful prints, So far as it is concern
ed they are welcome here though there
is touch Of humiliation in the knowl-
edge we possess that those who buy,
buy only to be deceived They
in no instance get what they pay
for nor do they get what their own
local newspapers give in much more
complete and perfect form. The
Hartford Courant called attention the
other day to newspaper extras printed
elsewhere which were marked 5:35
though offered for sale at noon. If
people want to be fooled all of the
while, as the immortal Lincoln said
they could not be, these newspaper
fakirs give them the opportunity.
There is not one Of our many excel
lent New York morning newspapers
which sets the news Of the night as
late as the Journal and Courier does,
That of itself makes It impossible for
them to cater more completely to the
reading public There is not day

Courier With the full Associated
Press service 1t Is impossible for a New
York morning paper, printed at mid

to compete justly with this newspaper.

four hours. This fact should be noted
and realized in order that the news

intimation of the crime was the testi-

Nor is that all. 1t was hardly de-
MED by the medical inspector that
there had been other brutal assaults
by attendants on the helpless patients.
The fact that a patient could be muir
dered in the institution without pun
ishment for the perpetrators and with
out the knowledge of the outside world
is proof presumptive that there have
been other cases of maltreatment of
patients. 1t reveals an utter lack Of
discipline among the hospital force
and an astonishing indifference as TO
the treatment Of the patients.

Yor TIE PERFECT nANpsrANp

The Hartford Courant knows all
about music, from the kind they have
at the Capitol to the music Of the
spheres, so 1t is worth while to pay
attention to what 1t says about
"the perfect bandstand." This Is 1t: The
perfect bandstand for open-air work is
walled In at the back and two ends
and has roof over it, These three
walls and roofs are finished off inside
with lining made Of matched boards,
the lining being so rounded as to pre-
sent the uniform surface of wide
mouthed bell. The lining serves the
same purpose in an open-air bandstand
that the sounding board does in vio-
lin. The musical notes, striking it. are
bent outward toward the front without
loss Of strength or quality, with the
result that the entire volume Of tone
produced by the band pours out direct
ly upon all lines radiating from the
open front No part Of the music goes
up toward heaven, TO be heard by the
treetops, and none escapes at the back
or ends. More people can hear music
satisfactorily by standing within the
range of lines radiating from the front
of such a bandstand than in any other
manner.
This, it will be noticed, does not de-
scribe the Chinese pagoda situated on
the Green in New Haven. Therefore,
that pagoda is not the perfect band
stand. 1t has been hitherto suspected
by some that it was not.

amazed to learn Of the opportunities
that are open 10 labor.
We don't know how much Mr.. Pow
derby really knows about this matter.
Men who have work themselves, and
easy work with good pay, are apt to
wonder why other people don't find
work, Still, his testimony is interesting,
and, of course. has some basis in fact.
The country continues to seem unconl-
monty prosperous and there is a loud
demand for harvesters in Kansas. But
there are hungry men around, and
some of them are willing to work. Per-
haps they are too particular about the
work, the pay or something which they
cannot afford to be particular about.
