 T, Charles Lounsbury, being of sound mind and disposing memory do hereby make and publish this, my last will and testament. in order as justly as may be to distribute my interests in the world among succeeding men.
 "That part of my interest which Is known in law and recognized in the sheepbond volumes as my property being inconsiderable and of no account I make no disposal of in this my will.
 My right to live, being but life es- tate. is not at my disposal, but these things excepted all else in the world l now proceed to devise and bequeath:
 ''Item: I give to good fathers and mothers, in trust for their children, all good little words of praise and encour- agement, and all quaint pet names and endearments, and I charge said parents to use them justly and gener- ously, as the needs of their children may require.
 "Item: I leave to children inclusive lv. but only for the term of their child hood. all and every, the flowers of the fields. and the blossoms of the woods, with the right to play among them freely according to the customs of children, warning them at the same time against thistles and thorns. And devise to children the banks of the brooks, and the golden sands beneath the waters thereof, and the odors of the willows that dip therein, and the white clouds that float over the giant trees. And I leave to the children the long, long days to be merry in, in a thousand ways, and the night and the moon and the train of the Milky Way to wonder at, but subject nevertheless to the rights hereinafter given to lov- CTS.
 'Item: I devise to boys jointly all the useful idle fields and commons where
 ball may be played; all pleasant waters where one may swim; all snow7cla( hills where one may coast, and al streams and ponds where one may fish or where, when grim winter comes one may skate; to have and to hold thu same for the period of their boyhood
 And all meadows with the clover bios
 sons and butterflies thereof, the woods and their appurtenances, the squirrels and birds, and echoes and strange
 noises, and all distant places whicf
 may be visited together with the ad
 ventures therefound. And I give tt ] said boys each his own place at tht , f1reside at night, with all pictures tha lmay be seen in the burning wood. tc

taching them to strings obtained by
 raveling out their stockings and swing
 Ing them like pendulums from one cell
 window to another or by lowering
 them or pulling them up through the
 iron soil pipes which connected the
 water closet fixtures of the cells with the sewerage system of the, city
 The prisoners had long. before dis covered that by scooping the water out
 of the closet traps they could open the pipes so as to make them speaking tubes from cell to cell, and could even usethem as a means of transferring
 little packages from one cell t tze21ez2th-
 CT by tying such packages to long strings, throwing them into the plpes
 and then pulling the strings up and
 down until they became entangled ana twisted together
 Out of the strips of colored cloth ob-
 tained in this way, some of the women who were permitted to have needles and thread and do sewing in their cells succeeded in making secretly small,
 rude American flags; and before July
 almost every political offender in the prison had either small American flag or few red, white and blue strips of cloth.
 Day breaks in the high northern lat itude of St. Petersburg, in summer, very early; and on the morning of July 4, 1876, hours beforethe first daylight cannon announced the beginning Of the great national CeleDrdtloH III Iullduel- phia, hundreds of small, rude Amerl- can flags or strips of red, white and blue cloth fluttered from the grated windows of the politicals around the whole quadrangle of the great St. Pet ersburg prison, while the prisoners were faintly hurrahing, singing patri- otic songs, or exchanging greetings with one another through the iron pipes which united their cells.
 The celebration, of course, was soon over. The prison guard, although they never head of the Declaration of Inde-
 pendence and did not understand the
 Significance of this extraordinary dem onstration, promptly seized and remov
 ed the flags and trlcolored streamers. Some of the prisoners, however, had more material of the same kind in re-
 serve, and at intervals throughout the whole day scraps and tatters of red white and blue were furtively hung out here and there from cell windows or tied around the bars of the gratings
 Late in the evening, at the preconcerted
 hour, the polticals lighted their bits
 of tallow candles and placed them in
 their windows and the celebration end
 ed witha faint but perceDtihle illumin-
 ation of the great prison quadrangle.

THE MAY FESTIVAL.
wagneFIan Fea.t f0r the openIns con-

CeSNs
 Waterbury, April SO--Musica1 people who have been studying the May fes- tival programs have set down as a hap py inspiration the idea of opening the festival with Wagner concert by the Damrosch orchestra. It isn't so many years ago that Wagner was considered hard nut to crack. In this days, how Iever. Wagner music Is among the most popular music played. Everybody with any musical experience at all is more or less familiar with the more popular Wagner concert pieces such as the "Tannhauser" overture and march, the "Lohengrin" prelude and wedding mu- sic and some of the "Meisttersinger" airs, besides such favorite "Ring" se- lections as the Ride of the valkyries.' And when this music is played by such a well drilled and finely balanced in lstrumental body as the New York Sym phony orchestra the enjoyment of Wagner concert is almost unalloyed. The opening concert of the Musical festival on Monday evening, May 19, is bound to be a feast of notable quail ty and generous quality. It will be con- ducted by a man who has made the Wagner drama a life study and who has earned high reputation as a di- rector at the Bayreuth masters operas. MT. Damrosch has made his greatest success indeed, as an inter- tar oR 0l eho bi,,a self familiar with the smallest details | of this music in his conducting, and in his thousands of explanatory recitals on the Wagner dramas at the piano. His Insight into the methods and in- Itentions of Wagner has been amply demonstrated and this concert which he will direct here will be found by music lovers, it is easy to predict, among their most enjoyable hours with the music of this greatest of all mak- CTS of music dramas.
 There has been considerable inquiry AS to where course tickets for the May | festival may be obtained, They are | in the hands of the Oratorio society members, and on sale at the music stores Attendance at the three con- certs and two public rehearsals is in- cluded in the privileges of season tick ct purchasers,and the rate of $i for five performances such as these will be will seem anything but exorbitant. For the lseparate performances the price of tick cts will be S1.50 for the opening Wag- ner concert on Tuesday evening, the same for the afternoon symphony, con i icert of Tuesday, and $2 for the sam change of course tickets for reserved might, with the chorus of 150, orchestra of fifty, and Mime. Isabelle Benton, con- tralto; Ellison Van Hoose, tenor, and Gwilym Miles, bass, as soloists Ex-- seats will be begun Monday morning, May G.

TRYING TO SEE FIGHT.
Boys Arrested While Attempting to Get
 In BiJOu.

Boys will be boys, and there is some- thing about a boxing match that stlrs the youthful blood. Michael O'Connor, of 252 Wallace street; Abe Schwartz man, of 256 Hamilton street, and David Healy, of 3S Walnut street, were ar- rested by Officer Kane last night in the rear of Woods drug store on Church street. The boys, all of whom are about sixteen years old, were try ing to get In to see the fighting that was going on in the Bijou. There was plenty of room inside, all right, but the boys did not have the price to go In the front way. The charge against them is trespassing

the birds of prey about these hllly dis
 tricts the places would soon be over
 run with harmful rodents.
 AS family the owls are among the
 most beneficial of all birds from the economic standpoint of the agricultur- alist. With few exceptions the owls
 are nocturnal, Their eyes and ears are remarkably developed, and the keenest in the early hours of the night and morning.
 Many harmful rodents are most act i've in their search for food during the night, and the owls are the natural check for this multitude The hawk hunts by day, and the owl by night, and the work of one supplements that of the other.

Business Values the Y. NJ. c. A.

MT. Wallace and MT. Stevens were
 both railroad officials before they took
 up the work of digging the canal for
 Uncle Sam. In their earlier years they
 and learned that the character of the
 men employed, and the way that they
 were cared for had moreto do with sue
 cess than even better roadbed or more
 powerful engines They found, too
 that the Young Mems Christian asso-
 citation could do much to keep the em- ployes clear headed, steady -nerved, and cheerful In spirit. As matter of economy and business, therefore. they were both in turn ready to encourage the presence of this association in he canal zone. The government, having already decided to put up recreation buildings for it's employees on the isth- mus, began to look around for the right kind of men to take charge of them, and found this association ready. l President Roosevelt, who had seen the work in Cuba. welcomed the associa- tion's aid in Panama. Secretary Taft took the same view. The last of the i five association secretaries has just goneto Panama to take charge of these clubhouses for the government They | contain gymnasiums, reading rooms, game rooms. and other things that will minister to the comfort, health and | contentment of the men. It is a sim 1 pie matter of business for the govern ment, If the men are properly taken | care of they will do better work, and
 stick to their work longer. For years now various well-informed railroad i men have been favoring the growth of I this body along their lines. Hundreds l of thousands of dollars for new build | ings and equipments are regularly in- l cluded in their expense accounts Miss 1 Helen Gould is spending a quarter of a l million for such a building in St Louis. i The headquarters for all this work for North America will be housed, after 1908, in the new building of the in- | ternational committee in New York, | which is being provided by Mrs. Sage I-Collier's Weekly.

WOMEN IN SUPREME COURT.
Twenty-eight Have Been Admitted (
 Mrs. BeIva Lockwood the Pioneer.

Miss Ida M, Movers of this city, who was admitted to practice before the supreme court yesterday is the twen- ty-eighth member of the tender sex to attain that distinction.
 The first woman to become a member ot the bar was Belva A. Lockwood, who was first denied the privilege on the ground that there was no authority for woman to practice before the court. Shs then secured the passage of 8 special law admitting womn to the bar on an equal footing with men, and as soon as the bill was signed she appeared and took the customary oath on March 3, 1879.
 It was not until six years later that Mrs. Lockwood lost her monopoly of rights, and since then applicants have appeared every year or so. They are scattered all the way from Massachus- etts to California, each of which is the residence of two women who are mem bers ofthe high bar. This city has the greatest number-six, Illinois and Wis eonsin have four each, Nebraska three, Pennsylvania two and Arizona, Con- nectlcut Missouri. New Jersey and Montana one each.
 All four of the Wisconsin members belong to one family-Mrs. Kate Pier and her three daughters, who are ac tive practitioners in Milwaukee. Miss Kate H. Pier, the eldest daughter, and first of the familyto be admitted, had as her sponsor the then Senator Will liam F. Villas of Wisconsin, Later her next sister was admitted on her motion, and afterward she introduced her moth- CT and youngest sister on the same day.
 Comparatively few of the women ad- mitted avail themselves of their priv ileges, the conspicuous exception being Mrs. Lockwood, who has appeared fre- quently and last term argued an In- dian case. and Mrs. Sarah Heering Soim of Tucson City, Ariz, who was was admitted about year ago and is the attorney of record in a case on call next week.
 Miss Mover the latest addition to the ranks, is good looking young woman apparently twenty-three or twenty-four years of age, and is the senior member of law firm here which makes a speciality of practice before the eourtof claims.-W Washington Herald,
