HIGH RECORD OF CONNECTS.
Number of Prisoners at Wethersfeld
 Now 576.

Hartford. March T.-The reception at the state prison yesterday of batch of convicts from Hartford and Fairfield county brings the total population of the institution up to 5TI This figure establishes q new record. The previous high census of convicts was IFS, that number of prisoners having been housed at wethersfield from Febraury 2J tO March 2.
 It Is probable that the industrial re- cesslon has something to do with the swelling of the population of the con- vict colony of Connecticut. It is recognized principle that the line of crime rises and falls as the line of prosperity falls or rises. An indus trial reaction tends to stimulate the volume of crimes against prOperty.
 Among the prisoners received at the prison yesterday was q life con- vict. His arrival brings the total number of life prisoners up to Ts-a new high total
 Nine prisoners from Hartf0ri county were received at the institu- ton and two were discharged.

 It is interesting to read in Dr Ernest Welker's History of Music in England,' the following comment on Irish folk music: Few musi- cians have been found to question the assertion that Irish folk music Is, on the whole, the finest that exists, 1t ranges with wonderful case over the whole gamut of human emotion from the cradle to the battlefield, and is un- surpassed in pOetlcal and artistic charm. If musical composition meant nothing more than tunes sixteen bars long, Ireland could claim some Of the very greatest composers that have ever lived; for in their miniature form the best Irish folk tunes are gems of absolutely flawless luster, and though, of course. some of them are relatively undistinctive, 1t Is very rare to meet with one entirely lacking in character Nearly all Irish tunes show peculiar sensitiveness of feeling; 1t is true that frequently they do not seem emotion ally to fit. the words with which they were in their earliest days connected, but as mere successlons of notes with out words of any kind they arc full of a subtle vitality which can give delicate and distinctive sparkle to more or less humorous dance measure of no particular melodic loftiness For sheer beauty of melody, the works of Mozart, Schubert, and the Irish folk composers form triad that Is un- challegned In the whole range of the art; deeper tunes have been written by still greater men. but these par ticular inspirations show a liawless spOntaneity of utterance. an instlnc- tive feeling for loveliness and dignity of phrase as such. that We do nor find elsewhere in anything like the same profusion."
