GOLF ON A HOUSETOP.
Putting Green in Billiard Room.
Driving Against Nets"

Aerial observers may see on the leads
of a large house looking over Regents
Park sort of huge cricket net and
rugs Of cocoanut mating. In another
large house in the neighborhood the
owner. who is member Of the house
Of lords. has turned out his billiard
table, stretched mating over the floor
and perforated five round holes.
Both these strange spectacles are in
dcations of the still increasing preva-
lcnce of the golf habit. The net on
the leads is for practice at driving. the
billiard room is converted into a put
ting green
\ new and striking example of the
habit was exhibited in the Royal
Botanic Gardens yesterday. when the
school of golf opened it term. One OF
the first pupils was a famous Harley
street physician, 4 Scotsman, who has
put himself down for a lesson at rs
each morning
The chief apparatus of the school
consists of nets and putting green's.
The beginners. under the personal in
struction of professionals. are almost
completely encircled by netting, but
they strike a free ball and can tell
whether it is sliced or pulled
For the advanced golfer forty-foot
nets, stretched on telegraph wires and
gigantic telegraph posts, are provided.
and it is calculated that good player
can safely drive at the net from a dis
tance Of forty to fifty Yards No regu-
lar links are provided. but there is
plenty Of room for short approaches

JUDGE s. ]. CHADWICK
SPEAKS IN SEATTLE
Before Associated Charities &
Boards of Correction.
Treats LearnedIy and EntertainineIy
on Juvenile Courts Our Boys and
Girls Should Not Be Condemned
Along With Hardened Criminals.

Judge Stephen ]. Chadwick left Satur-
day evening for Seattle, where he adj
dressed the Associated Charities and
Boards OF Correction of the State
Of Washington on last Tuesday night,
his subject being the Juvenile Courts
This was an important meeting, at
which many of the foremost men Of the
state appeared, and the address Of Judge
delivered. The Gazette regrets that it
has not room to publish his address in
full, but the extracts given below will
show the value as well as the nature of
hia remarks;
"Judge Lindsay, who ia properly cred
tied with the honor of being the father
Of the Juvenile Court, dieclaims any gu
periOr sympathy for the Juvenile offender
or any credit for the creation of an orig
inal idea. He knew, what all men who
have had to deal with criminal or deIin-
quent classes know, that the law was
founded upon q wrong theory. 1t made
no exception in favor Of youth, necessity,
mental Obliquity upon certain subjects,
and the utter and abandoned criminal
the moral pervert. He saw, what every
thinking man who has ever occupied the
bench has seen, that the hope OF society
laid in making men good rather than in
making them bad that our laws were
framed upon the theory that if man
(nO exception was made for the boy, he
was a man under the statute) committed
some slight Offense, although he was in
law innocent until he was proven guilty
a mere theOry-the public on the other
hand Immediately pointed the finger OF
suspicion and scOrn at him, and, as in
the olden time, the rabble cried Cruelty
him Cruelty him SO our bOys and
girls we're subject to the Incorporate
Judgment Of the law and the tickle deter
mination of the popuace.
"In this, then, lies the credit and honor
due TO Judge Lindsay He was brave
enough to DEFY the man made laws that

in the history Of Colorado will our boys
and girls go down to ruin, branded as

own way considering the child, its pnvi-
ronment, its opportunities, its disposition
and its hopes. Children are human, they
have hopes and ambitions. Did you
ever think Of that ? Many parents. God
only knows how many, do not know
this until their boy is charged and
brought before a magistrate accused of
the THEFT Of some copper wire, or some
thing Of value stolen that he might sell
1t and buy baseball! or catchpr'a nit.
or q pair Of peg-top trousers. Only
those Of ia who have had to deal with
these things notice them. Some parents
never give their children anything.
OftentimPs 80 cents invested in some
childish necessity would have saved the
faint Of crime. And then there is the
child Of poor parents who comes in cor
tact with the better dressed child. the
one with toys and candy-things his soul
hungers for, bnt which he has no means
to obtain. The finding Of these hopes
and ambitions, their development along
proper lines, leading away from i'm
proper drift and improper influence in
other words, to treat and by precept and
example teach the world to treat our
children as little men and women, as
they are, is the task OF the Juvenile Court
