SQUIRRELS IN THE PARK.

The graceful squirrel is one Of the
prettiest features of a public lark. In
Central Park, which is kept free from
vagrant dogs and prowling cats, the
squirrels have become so well tanned
hat they eat out of visitors hands,
and they are the delight of the children.
Central Park is well guarded, and 1t is
a question whether squirrels would
survive In our city parks, unprotected
as they must be from predatory ami
mails and from hat species OF aiped
that looks upon all wild life as game
to kill. The Shade Tree Commission,
which has done so much to improve our
city parks and increase the outrageous
shade of our streets, may, however.
succeed by patient effort in so well
demonstrating the squirrel in the parks
that ever the wayfaring dog win learn
to know and love them.

ASYLUM MANAGERS TO EXPLAIN.

Public interest in the investigation of
the affairs of the State Hospital for
the Insane at Trenton is sharpened by
the announcement that the entire
board of managers are TO De sub
poenaed to appear before the Hahn
committee on Monday and make ex-
plantations. Another interesting fea-
-ture of the committee session on Mon
day will be the appearance of Warden
William P. Hayes to tell about the
finances of the institution. Warden
Hayes handles all the receipts and ex-
penditures, the latter totaling nearly
$500, 900 a year, and the State Comp
troller and Treasurer have no check
upon him after the institution receives
it's appropriation in bulk. No account
is given to these officers of the moneys
received from pay patients. The treas
urer of the hospital, who was lately ex-
amined, had a misty idea of the 'nsti-
tutional finances, and when questions
were asked him he referred the in
quisitors to the warden. Considering
the extraordinary loose management in
other respects it would be singular in
deed if the finances were properly adj
ministered.

WOUNDED; DIDN'T KNOW.
Soldiers Never Thought They Were
Hurt Till They Saw own Blood.

Owing to the small callber of the bullets
used during the Russo-Japanese War
many oldiers did not know that they had
been struck by them until the frenzy OF
an attack had passed. During the battle
of Mukden, according to the Chicago
News, a company of Japanese infantry.
of a strength of ninety men. attacked a
Russian party holding the opposite bank
of the river. The attack was carried
through with great spirit until the Jap
anese arrived under the river bank. when
the Russians evacuated the position, evi-
IDENTIFY believing hat their fire had been
without any effect.
1t was only then that forty out OF the
ninety Japanese discovered that they had
been wounded during the advance. The
company commander only made the same
discovery In his own ease by seeing the
water Of the river redden by his blood,
There was apparent no physical effect OF
the wounds so long as the men had been
sustained by the fury and excitement OF
the advance.
But on seeing that they were wounded
ALL from the officer downward, expert
| enced the moral effect Of their injuries
and all at once felt they could advance
no farther.

A BIG BENEFIT TO COMMERCE.

Ambrose channel, the leading en-
trance to the port of New York, will
be buoyed and thrown open to COM
merce at an early date. Soon the larg-
est steamships win be entering port by
this waterway. at a saving OF five
miles in distance and by the most di-
rect possible our from the Lower
Bay. The newly deepened channel will
get between the same terminal points
in a distance of seven miles and avoid
the many dangers of g%roundings and
collisions in the more tortuous channel,
and effect a saving of probably one or
two hours time. The Importance of the
completion of the undertaking to COM
merce can hardly be overestimated~

A srArE BOARD on CONTROL.

1t is likely, the Trenton Times be-
lieves, that out of the Hahn investiga-
ton there will come a recommended
ton. and possibly legislation. to place
all. of the institutions on a business
basis, under the control of one central
salarled body. with absolute control
and required by law to give the mat
ter proper supervision. 1t is evident
that the system of committing the con-
troll of State institutions to unsalaried
commissioners as honorariums is great
ly at fault. The commissioners, as a
rule, leave the practical management
to subordinates and are content with
their reports.
The director of a fiduciary institu-
ton who trusts entirely to some man
aging director, or to the executive Off
GERS, n lets it go at that. is a ia
miliar enough figure in financial life.
Scores of banking Institutions have
been wrecked in that way and in
Vulnerable cases of breaches of trust
have happened in consequence. We
have the same thing not infre-
duently in the public Institution man
aged by an honorary board and in
a public department in charge of an
honorary commission. And that is
manifestly the ease at the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Trenton.
One result of this system is a large
unnecessary expense to the State. The
public money is s%quandered or stolen,
graft hourishes, and the States expen-
ditures keep mounting up as they have
been doing, so that in twenty years
they nave beer trebled. At the same
time inferior work M materials are
put in public buildings, inferior sup
plies are purchased, and the inmates
of the State institutions are subjected
to an Unfit diet and to lack of proper
-necessaries. The idea of a central
State Board to have control of all the
institutions of the State is well worth
the attention Of the Legislature. Per-
haps the Governor will have something
to say on the subject when the Legis-
lature meets in September.

A PROPER INSTITUTIONAL STAND
ARD.

The State of New Jersey suffers a
shameful disgrace in the conduct of
one of its great curative institutions
and a powerful doubt has arisen in the
public mind as to the integrity of man
agement of other State institutions.
Governor Stokes said in his inaugural
recommending the creation-of the office
of commissioner of charities and cor
rections:
New Jersey has most commend
able feature in connection with her pub
lie institutions-her boards of man.

serving the State without pay-ex-
amples of civic patriotism worthy of
all praise. The work of these noble
men and women cannot be too highly
commended, md the freedom Of their
action and judgment in the work should
not, in my opinion, be hampered or
curtailed."
One of these boards of best citizens
is now figuring before the State in a
way that is very far removed from the
description given by the Governor. In
making his recommendation TO the
Legislature the Governor added: such
an official as has been suggested could
visit and receive reports from State in
situations, investigate commitment of
State wards and see that a proper
standard be maintained in Ill institu-
tons that in any way receive State
funds. He should have as his advisory
council the heads of our various insti-
tutions. The practical knowledge of
such a council would insure New Jersey
a system of charities and corrections,
which, like her courts, would be re-
garded as exemplary"
There has been a large economy eff
fected In the cost of architects services
in State construction, and that is grati-
flying. But the creation of the new Of
flee has very evidently failed in insur-
ing the maintenance of a proper stand
ard In all the State institutions.

THE HAYWOOD TRIAL ENDED.

One of the most extraordinary trials
In the criminal annals of this country
closed at Boise, Idaho, yesterday. The
three principal officers of the Western
Federation of Miners stand charged
with completely in a series of murders,
one of which was the assassination of a
former Governor of the State. Only one
of these men, Haywood, is on trial, and
upon the verdict in his case depends the
fate of the two others. The principal
! witness for the State has been one Or
chard, a self-eohfessed murderer, who
testified that he committed a number of
murders and attempted others under
orders by Haywood and his associates
and that the murder of former Governor
S~teunenberg was inspired and planned
by Haywood.
Orchards testimony was not shaken
by cross-examination. The defense
sought to discredit this witness and a
number of witnesses gave testimony
contradictory to Orchards statements,
but the prosecuting counsel in his adj
dress to the jury showed that much of
the adverse testimony was really con-
firmatory in that 1t proved Orchards
personal relations with the accused men
and also his detailed statements about
his movements in the commission of his
murders.
Unfortunately there has been mixed
up in this case questions affecting the
relations of capital and labor, and So
cialist agitators have taken advantage
of that fact to try to arraign the labor
sentiment against the proper admins
tration of the laws of the land. As II
an American jury would condemn tc
death an innocent man on improper
evidence, or as If the courts of this
country would uphold such a verdict
The testimony in this case has beer
read by millions of people and the YER
dict is awaited with the deepest in
terest.

Increased EFFICIENCY.

After all. perhaps the most notable sig
nificance of the great increase in our
foreign commerce which is now attract
ing so much attention both at home and
abroad is in the proof it gives of the in
creased efficiency of our domestic indus
try. Time was. and that not so long ago,
when we were distinctively an agricul-
tural people, producing foodstuffs and
raw materials and exchanging them for
foreign manufactures. And the free trad
ers assured us that under a protective tar
if that was all we could ever hope to be.
Yet the fact now appears that the great
Increase in our IN has been in i'm
ports and hat the great increase in i'm
ports has been in raw and partly ant
featured materials. That is. through an
increase in the efficiency of home indus
try which the protective tariff was intend
ed to bring about we are acquiring more
and more ability to do our manufacturing
at home. thus giving more employment
to labor as well as charging the field for
the profitable employment of capital

william Tell.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:

To the Editor OF the Evening starr
Is the story of William Tell accepted by
historians as fact? READER.
William Tell Is a myth. Gessler never
was; the whole incident is a fable, and In
its Swiss setting a very modern one at
that. Yet not on that account is 1t the
less to be held in regard. The story of
the master archer and the cruel tyrant
who forces him to pit his skill against his
fatherly love is one Of the aboriginal treas
ures of our race. In Iceland the Thu
dreksaga tells 1t; 1t is repeated anew in a
Danish setting by Saxo Grammaticus; the
Perslans knew 1t still earlier. The Swiss
story fixes the date at 1907, a perdiod to
which there Is abundance Of historical
documentary record. In those contempo-
rary chronicles there is no mention Of the
incident, and Gessler does not appear at
all in the list of Austrian baliffs. The
first mention of the tale is as late as
"Das Weisse Bueh," at the end of the
fifteenth century, and it does not begin
to assume its full proportions until
Tschudi's "Chronicon'' about 1850. The
historical questions involved a been
