1 PERTINENT POINT.

The New York Sun makes perti- nent point when it says. When Faith full was on trial in the town of vani- ty the magistrate abused and insulted him before conviction. Nowadays magistrates reserve tnelr abuse and in suits for sentence day when prisoners are more helpless and defenceless than they are previous to their con- victlon In d future and better day magistrates may see the propriety of refraining from any expressions of personal feeling toward those they are about to sentence and be content to re- strict themselves within the limits of their legal duty.
 Well said. Not long ago in New York a prisoner who was being thor oughly scolded by a judge before sen- tence dared to protest and assert that he was there to be sentenced, not to be criticized. Of course the prisoner couldn't make the earnest judge see the point, but he did make many oth- CTS see it. It is saI and saddening habit of some judges in police courts to have their little Jokes with the wretched ones who are on trial before them. These little jokes are always much appreciated by the policemen who stand around and by lawyers who arc standing around and want to stand in, The prisoners do not seem to have the sense of humor which is expected of them. There was once a judge if Connecticut who, by good fortune, was allowed to sit on the bench insteat of standing in the dock, and it wa. his pleasing habit to have all the fur he could with the "crIminals" who hat been caught and brought before him
 A judge who makes a prisoner :; target for abuse, insult, or ''fun" ha very poor understanding of what hi own place in life is, and what plac, in life his helpless victim has.

ANOTHER OASIS.

Although "the times" are not quite as cheerful as they have been, or as they will be, there are "oases" and things. It came out the other day that Secretary Cortelyou remembered the. man who gave him his start in life and appointed the man to good office, for which the man was 1t may be add cd, thoroughly well fitted. Now comes the equally pleasing story of Joseph Brown, of Argentina Kansas, MT, Brown, desiring to seek his fortune in the Klondike region, persuaded the First State Bank of his town to grub stake" him for sufficient funds to un- dertake this expedition He was suc- cessful in the gold region and amass Il wealth after which he returned to Argentina. Last week the bank that had befriended him became involved in the trouble of the National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City. The l fact came to the knowledge of Joseph Brown, who promptly and voluntarily came to ifs aid, paying it's indebted ness and buying its securities which it could not have sold in the open market without great loss. His ad- vances to the bank amounted to $40,- GOO, which was many times as much as It had advanced to him when he Eneeded money.
 Men with such memories as Secre- tary Cortelyou and Joseph Brown are \ not As frequent as they ought to be, but the fact that they come to the sur face as often as they do is cheeringIy indicative Of what there is in human nature.

 Of all the multitude of duties that confront public journal, none Is more genuinely pleasant than that of noting, each autumn, the reappearance of sauerkraut upon the tables of the great plain people. sauerkraut comes upon the heels of Indian summer It pres ages and foreshadows Thanksgiving day ard Christmas. It is the first course in the gastronomic saturnalia which reaches a climax continuation in roast turkey. As every one knows sauerkFaut had it's origin in the Ger man empire, where it has been held in the highest honor and veneration for centuries.

OPEN TIE ART SCHOOL SUNDAYS.

While we have been discussing the Puritan Sundays that have saddened our New York cousins of late, our thoughts have been diverted, for the moment, from a Sunday problem of our own, Aside from the urgency which comes with proximity there are other reasons why the Sunday of the City of Films invites our particular att tention more than that of Gotham. Not the least of these is the fact that New York is only playing at goodness and that it's last two Sundays have been endured rather than demanded or en- joyed, except perhaps, as tickling the ever-insatlate desire of the metropoli- tan population for novel sensationo
 If there is one characteristic that q Connecticut Sunday universally has 1t is it's regular afternoon, promenade tough the business streets. Perhaps ! it is because New Haven, Hartford, New Britain, and Bridgeport are all just large enough cities to have one or two principal business streets ant just small enough to make the homes of the workers within easy walking dis tance of them.
 This paper, would be far from de-, crying the Sunday afternoon ccnstitu- tional But it would advocate for it such scenes as are not continually met with in the humdrum life of the otlier six days of the week It could suggest nothing better for the stimulating of the man physically and mentally, per- haps, than quiet Sunday afternoon stroll through one or another of this city's remarkable and picturesque sys- tenn of outlying parks
 But for the good of those creatures of habit who cannot but visit voun- tarily on Sunday the same scenes that thev will have to live in of compulsion during the coming Six days, for those in whose breasts the call of nature cries not aloud, two suggestions might be made. One is of negative character; the other of positive; and either, il carried out. we believe, would result in Sunday being q day fuller of meaning for a great many New Haveners.
 Let the stores pull down their shades on Sunday, we say, and the college authorities open the art school build. ing and the Peabody Museum during the afternoon. The first would be hu following out business method whicl the best merchants of many of oul larger cities have long been making use of A New Haven branch of a biz l New York confectionery concern is do. ing it here now. If looked at sanely i will be seen that there should be nt appreciable loss of trade as a result while, on the other hand, to the i'm questionable mind of the passing thropg, Sunday would be far bette differe, lated as day apart from thu other six. The idea of opening the art schoo and the Peabody Museum to the pub lie on Sunday afternoons commend itself in more ways than one and further than that, we have every req son to believe that the college auth orities would te willing to open them did they see tlere was public deman, for it.

(The Springfield Republican,
 The choice of the Connecticut as the flagship may have been made on grounds entirely personal to Rear Ad- miral Evans, yet there are many whc see the appropriateness of having that vessel lead the line as it starts out from Chesapeake bay. The Connecticut was designed and built by the govern ment in one of its own navy yards and is the best example of warshir we have of government construction in contrast to private construction There was no battleship named the Connecticut during the Spanish war and now there is no Massachusetts in the big fleet bound for the Pacific The Massachusetts that fought at Santiago is in the obsolescent class, if she is moi obsolete entirely.

THE PRINCIPLE HANDICAPPED.

This evening the second of the free public lectures being given under the patronage of the Board of Education though really under the intelligent leadership of the Associated Societies, will be given in the Hamilton school hall. The lecture will be an interesting one and will follow musical program.
 This. will be the second in the series so periodically planned by these asso- ciated societies. The one a week ago at the Welch school called forth a crowd which was unable to be accom- modated, which, while that was to be regretted, proved concluslvely the wis., dom of the men who have planned these neighborhood entertainments for the improvement of the social condi- tions of the city.
 No one is quite wise enough to say just what the dividend is which these we'll directed efforts to better New Haven will be. It will be large in the satisfaction it will give hundreds of people, and still larger in its education al influence upon those who have hith- erto without thought made but linn l ited use or the public buildings. At last New Haven is we'll on it's way to make it's extensive equipment of substantial value to it's citizens. The Associated So. cieties have vindicated their existence and the principle back of these free public lectures.
