"a GOOD FELLOW" FARclcAL

Florence Lake Young and company
presented "a Good Fellow" at the
lBabcock theater last night to a fair
sized house. The piece is a farce
comedy that has to do with the whims
of a fun loving girl. The complica-
lions resulting from her escapades are
farcical and more ludicrous because
the characters were over drawn. Mark
3. Swan assumes the responsibility
for the existence of the piece and
Miss Young in the title role showed
herself a versatile coincidence.

From under dead boughs for whose loss the pines Moaned ceasecss overhead, the blos- soming vines Lifted their glad surprise, While yet the hluehlrd smoothed In leaness trees His feathers ruffled hy the chill sea breeze, ., And snowdrIfts fingered under April skies. As. pauslng, OCT the lonely flower I bent, thought of lives thus lowly, cogged and nent Which yet find room, Through care and cumber, coldness and decay To lend sweetness to the ungenial day
 And make the sad earth happier for

STILL PROUD BUT NOT GAY

While the United States has long and justly boasted that 1t is the most attractive country on earth to one thinking of changing his country, just now it is perfectly willing not to seem as attractive as 1t has been. It Is glad to see that immigration in March decreased 76 per cent. as compared with the same month of 1906 and 77 per cent. as compared with 1907. The total number of immigrants arriving in this country last month was 32,517, as against 199,11S In March year ago. The country showing the great est decrease is Italy. Tn March, 1907 there were 41,455 Italian immigrants but only 6,612 in March, 1908 Hun gary stood next with total of 27,367 for March, 1907, as against 1894 for March of this year. In March, 1907, 3.400 Japanese arrived here as against 1902 for last month. In March, 1906, Russia contributed 2d,202 toward our population and in March, 1907, 21,275, while in March just past only 5469 ar rived from that country.
 1t is also not unpleasant reading that nearly 100000 foreign laborers have left the United States for Europe so far this year. Of course they took lot of money with them, but 1t would have cost this country lot more if i they hadn't gone. The talk now is l that nowhere near as many as usual of our own folks are going to migrate | to Europe this season and leave much 1 money there. This is cheering. The l money is needed and wanted at home.

SCHOOL FIRE APPLIANCES.

The statements made by the Insur- ance Press concerning the lack of fire appliances in school buildings. especi- ally as pertains to this State. ae print cd in The Journal Courier yesterday morning, are rather surprising. They must prove to be go to citizens who have been accustomed to go about con graduating themselves on the fine fire protection provided hy New Haven, As to tho fire department of this city and It's efficiency In general there can be no reason in the least for dIsparage- ment. It is frequently commented upon by strangers who have witnessed the handling of fires here. Prompt ness. Intelligence, and the steady, methodical work due to good discipline, are the characteristics observed. when has this city had any such devastating fires as we read about in other cities? If we have none it is because fire is not allowed to gain headway and to get beyond control. However there is all ways room for improvement In efiIci- ency and in the adoption of new and tested apparatus. but this Is true else where than in New Haven
 The special revelation of the Insur- ance Press has reference to school houses. \ list of the cities In this State that are lacking in proper appli- ances is printed. About every city is named If a single city had hecn found having a full fire equipment there might be that much of a chance for some slight congratulation, hut tho report does nothing of the sort and | leaves one free to infer that school fire equipment is in bad shape Dormitories also are included among school build lrgs and these seem to have provided fires in the first three months of this year in nineteen States and one terri. tory. including this State
 1 But it ir to he observed that public school buildings have caught fire dur. ing the same period in eighteen States and Connecticut is not mentioned as one of them. The proper inference there would seem to be that our publi, school buildings are well looked aftel and the general classification of the In surance Press relating to defective ap pllances in schools in this State i' somewhat amended to read that fires have usually occurred in dormitories However, on general principles the all thorities cannot look too closely after school fire equipment.

GREAT MEETING, GREAT VICTORY

Great times are expected in Chicago when the Republicans gather there in June. No less than 100000 are ex- peoted, and while Chicago is not given to nder-expecting the indications are record breaker. Four years ago the au- ditorlum where the convention was held was arranged to accommodate s. 300 spectators, delegates, and alter mates This time seats for 12,00O will be provided. The delegates and alter mates will be on the floor level, while the spectators seats have been ar ranged in tiers. Tho acoustics of the hall are such that person in the farthost end of the auditorium will be able to distinguish the words of a speaker of ordinary voice.
 Of course such a great convention ought to be followed by a Aroat victory for it's candidates and principles The indications are that 1t will be, in spite of the other indications that the Dem ocrats think they have fighting chance, or last chance or something like that. There are going to be somC interesting days and nights when the campaign is really started.

HENRY CAMPBELI-BANNERMAN.

It Is only about a month since Henry Campbell Zimmerman resigned Eng lands greatest ofilce--that of Prime Minister Yesterday he let go his hold on life, Though he had not played q brilliant part in England's government he had been solid, reliable and sound in his words and works. His experience In government was large. He was q member of the House of Commons for forty years. He held the post of hnan- cial secretary to the war office twice. secretary of state for war twice. secre- tary to the admiralty and chief secre- tary for Ireland. In 1899 he became leader of the Liberals in the House of Commons. He managed well in this place, and when. after prolonged quar- reling between his party factions. the King offered him the premiership in December. 1905. he was able 10 give as- surance of his ability to form q strong and united cabinet. He was a successful conciiator. and held the Radical and Conservative wings of his party firmly together until failing health compelled him to drop out of public affairs.
 England has lost one who served her long and well. and it Is not expected that his successor will be able to dc what he did with the uneasy clements in the Liberal party
