Considered Most Artistic.
Senior Don Antonio Escandon, one of the
richest men In Mexico, presented a statue
OF Columbus to that city half a century
ago. 1t was designed and executed by
Cordier and stands on the Paseo de la Re-
lorna. the great boulevard which leads
from the city to the Castle of ChapuItepec.
Many critics consider 1t the most artistic
or all the Columbus memorials, and in con-
ceptlon, treatment and execution IT ranks
hlgn among the great monuments of the
world. colossal and dignifed figure of
the admiral stands on the top of a lofty
pedestal, whose base is surrounded by
other figures representing the men who
gave MIN encouragement and support and
the two missionaries who first ATTEMPTED
the conversion of the Indians. A base of
req marble is ornamented with several
Dasso ,relievos portraying events in the life
of Columbus.
The finest monument of Columbus in the
united states was erected by the Italian
residents OF New York on Columbus circle
at the junction of Broadway and 59th
street. In 1892. 1t was designed by Gaetano
Russo OF Rome. The figure is Of marble

Died Suddenly on Way to Jail.

PITTSBURG, May 15.-George Robinsteen,
formerly head of the Eleanor Steel Com
pany, died suddenly on a fast Pennsylvania
train yesterday. while being brought to the
Pittsburg Jail. where he was about to be
imprisoned for six months. Everything
points to suicide by poison. The coroner
will look into the case more fully. Robin
steen had asserted that he would kill HIM
self before he would serve time in prison.
When sentenced he tried to kill himself in
the court room. He took an appeal, which
was denied Monday, and he was ordered
before the court for sentence. John Robin
steen, a brother. now in jail, says his
brother surely took his own life. The
brothers had been convicted of conspiracy
to defraud in the sale Of an iron mill.

The most reliable authorities (and the
subject has been under discussion for two
eentures) agree that the face of Columbus
was never painted or sketched or engraved
during his lifetime. His portrait has been
painted, like that of the madonna and those
of the apostles and the saints, by artists
who have depended upon the verbal descrip-
lions given of the man by contemporaneous
writer's or have conveyed to canvas their
own conceptions of what the great sea-
mans face must have been. Five persons
who were intimately associated with his
career have left us descriptions of his fea-
lures and his person. His son. Fernando,

MAKING ESTIMATES
Many Streets That Need Top
 Dressing on Wacadam.

The different departments of the city government are now preparing estimates for next year and while they are at it they should keep in mind few things which many thought should have been taken up this year, but the powers that be claimed that they had no money for such purposes. The board of public works should make provision to ma cadam Hamilton avenue, from Bridge street to Washington street, build a suitable retaining wall on Baldwin street, east side, from the entrance to the Healy cooperage to the north line of the driveway, south of the Pendy property, and surface harden South Leonard street, from Bank street to where it connects with South Main street. If these projects in volve too much expense for one year provision should be made to do a DOT tion of them next season and let the balance wait another year. Hamil- ton avenue is one of the oldest thoroughfares in the city, but the city
 
 never paid much attention to it. Not wlthstanding this, the grade is just right for macadam and with this treatment and the removal of the old telegraph poles the place would com- pare favorably With the most favored residence section of the city. Over on Baldwin street, sections of the old re- taining wall are constantly tumbling down and this added to the inconven- fence caused owing to the ursatisfac- tory grade since the advent of the trolley, have been subjects of con- menl on all sides and everybody won- ders why residents of that region have not gone to the city hall in a body long ago and demanded that something be done to make the street trifle more slightly and secure. South Leonard street is in wretched condition and if nobody down there ever called attention to it, the board of public works and the alder men should feel in duty bound to see that it is fixed up and put in proper for public travel. These are but a few long standing eye sores which should not be allowed to stand any longer.

BADLY WANTED
Man Supposed to Have RiiIed St
 Mary's and St Margaret'S.

John Martin, alias John Egan, who
 is thought to have committed theft
 in this city on two different occas-
 ions, was arrested in New York We'd nesday evening. He is wanted in sev- eral cities of the state, as well as in other places of New England where his nerve and his light lingering brought him several hundred dollars. It was in 1902 that Martin first struck the city. One day he called at St Mary's convent on Cole street and rep resented himself an an emp!oye of E. D. 4 Brady. the electrician. He was clad in overalls and evidently was prepared to go to work. He did go to work and during the day sue ceeded in stealing about $100 in cash.
 The following year he again came to Waterbury and this time took a trip to St Margaret's school on Grove street When asked who he was he said he was the plumber. He looked the part and as he was around pipes he was accordingly to enter the building. There he collected about $50 and consider able iewelry. He is said to have operated in New Haven as late as February of the present year. He was captured while making a visit to his home, the first in two years. The local detectives have never seen Martin. but they declare he is the fel- low that operated here, as the descrip- lion given at the time fits his photo graph.

USHERS STRIKE
Manager Clancy Transferred
 Help From PoIi's Last Night.

It looked for time last evening as though the record breaking Thurs day night crowd of the season at the Jacques would have to find their own seats, as the ushers went out on strike shortly after o'clock. But it did not take Manager Clancy long to appease the ire of the boys and within half an hour they were back on their jobs. Thinking that the boys might remain out the entire evening, two ushers were brought from Poli's to handle the audience at Jacques. AL though it is said that the boys are looking for raise in pay, Manager James Clancy declared to-day that the boys were dissatisfied because of misunderstanding. Charles Rob- erts, the ticket taker, resigned, so Mir Clancy stated, but the ushers were under the impression that he was discharged, and went out in sympathy. But the breach was quickly patched up. The ushers re- ceive twenty-five cents performance, which is said to be the rate in all vaudeville houses.

long list of manufactured articles She
takes from us a large amount of raw
cotton and considerable pig iron. which
she does not tax. But the application
Of her maximum tariff would put stiff

that is where the shoe would pinch on

gate and Sir Thomas More tells US in
his Utopia that twenty thieves might
be seen hanging from a single gibbet
at the same time and that hangings
were of almost daily occurrence In
those days the theft of a loaf or the
sharing Of hare upon game pre-
serve were crimes punishable with
death.
Up to 1865. when Michael Barratt,
an Irish Fenian. was hanged, all the
executions at Newgate were held in
public The public regarded such
to assemble outside the walls and camp
out during the night in order to have
vantage points from which TO view the
CHASTITY spectacles. Whisky and gin
were sold freely, even upon the steps
of the scaffold, and often when a Grim
inal, who had committed some glaring
ly atrocious crime. was led forth to be
hanged the mob would ding themselves
upon him and half murder him before
the rope could be put around his neck.
At the time. earlier than this, when
criminals were confined at Newgate and
executed at Tyburn, they were wont
to be assaulted on the way TO Tyburn
by savage robs and were frequently
pelted with stones and mud as they
hung suspended from the gallows.
Nor was it the mere rabble who en-
joyed these degrading spectacles. Peo-
Die of fashion" paid as high as SO
for advantageous places from which to
witness an execution and the governor
of the prison usually gave breakfasts
to persons of quality" that they might
be in the proper humor to see the
hanging OF a poor fellow mortal. How
enormous were the crowds who wit
messed executions at Newgate may be
inferred from the statement that 20O,-
600 jee ing people looked on at the
hanging of Jack Sheppard; and in
1907, when $4,000 people had gathered
to SEE a double execution, % persons
were killed and 30 injured in the wild
rush and scramble. Fights were COM
mon among these onloolSers and spec
tators often had their limbs broken and
teeth knocked out.
Newgate prison dates back tc the
