A BLACK RECORD.

There is no reason why crime should be more prevalent in this republic than Tn the older nations of the earth, ex- cepting the loose administration of law. It seems to be easy for the worst of criminals to escape punishment for their. crimes.
 The figures show that the number of murders in this country are far in excess of those of other countries, the rate of felonfous homicides to the mill lion is two and a half times what it is in all the other countries combined. The official figures are as follows:
 In Canada 3; Germany 5; England il; France IS; Belgium, the most criminal country of Europe, IS; in the United States 129.
 In this country only one in "A of the murderers tried are convicted, and the reason is stated to be political and personal influence and the maud lin sentiment that regards crime as a disease and a murderer as a sick man to be cured instead of a dangerous beast to be exterminated, permit the average man-killer in America to es- cape with seven years in prison.''
 This is not showing any citizen of moral stamina should be proud of.

IupeE BROWNS COUNSEL.

In calling the attention to parents of the danger of giving their childTen too much freedom, in consequence of which they take too much license and frequently fall into bad habits. Judge Brown did the citizens a real service, for which he deserves public thanks.
 The boy-beggar ought to be dis couraged as much as possible by the management of these low-priced ev- eryday entertainments It is 6. fact that none are seen lettering about the doors of one of the houses. while at others the approaches are full of them, begging of adults to be taken in to the performance, and making little nuisances of themselves.
 These shows are educational if they are properly conducted. and there is little danger of evil if children are accompanied by older and responsible persons. The assembling of several hundred children under twelve with out care or supervision, is not to be commended.
 There is nobody who can control and direct the destiny of the child better than the parents. and it is up to them to know where their children be, how often they attend these shows and where they get the price of admis- sion.
 Boys of no judgment and a taste for cigarettes, shows, baseball, or any thing else, may be tempted to steal to gratify their tastes if they are left to the temptations of them before they reach the age of discretion or judg- ment. It is up to the parents of Nor wich to know where their children are and what they are doing.

THE SLAUGHTER OF ROBINS.

The other day The Bulletin called attention to the fact that a robinless spring might be future condition, be- cause of the way in which these mi grating songsters are being killed off at the south, where they are now sell ing for ten cents a dozen.
 The Louisville Courier-Journal states that robins are selling at ten cents a dozen in Tennessee, in which state hunters are killing the birds by thou sands. It is estimated that 150.00o birds have been killed within three weeks A party of hurNers bagged sixteen hundred, and a single hunter caught thBee hundred and seventy sew en in one tree.
 This Is not pleasant reading for New Englanders who protect the robin as a useful bird and are trying to increase it. There seems to be no way to prevent this slaughter, however much we may deplore it.

THE INDICTMENT IS ALL RIGHT.

THE INDICTMENT IS ALL RIGHT.
 While the meat packers of Chicago are inclined to regard their prosecu- ton as a joke, the prosecutor has nc doubt the indictment will hold. The indictment against the trust directors reads as follows:
 ..The said defendants, in pursuance of conspiracy, combination, confedera- tion and agreement, did unlawfully keep, maintain and control divers warehouses and cold storage plants in which they stored and kept and withheld from the markets large quantities of meats and poultry, tc the great wrong, injury and oppres- sion of the public.n
 And the description of their offense appears to lack nothing. They are charged with '.wilfully, unlawfully | immoral1y. frauduentIy. extortionately knowingly and corruptly combining uniting. confederating. conspiring and binding themselves by agreement, for their own unjust, excessive. extortion- ate, exorbitant, immoral and unlawful gain and profit. by the power of their numbers and wealth and their greed and cunning. and their divers subtle, immoral, dishonest, collusive, coercive and unlawful contrivances. methods and compacts .. to raise, enhance and increase the prices of meat and poultry to the public.''
 Considering the millions they repre- sent, the si,000 fine is not expected to be sufficient to disturb their equan- imity or to force the smile from their faces; but there is a prison sentence possible, and that would be far from pleasing to them. They will have no fear of a term of three years in pris- on until they get there.

THE COST OF A. PEACEFUL
 STRIKE.

The strike of the stone cutters of Barre, Vt, which was largely sympa- thetic and orderly, closed at the end of fourteen weeks. It appears that one of the smaller firms belonging to the Barre Granite Manufacturers as- sociation had installed pneumatic sur- facing machines and failed promptly to equip them with suction fans The operatives, four in number, walked out, and their shopmates followed. The Manufacturers association met the following day, and in view of two facts, that their agreement with the Granite Cutters International asso- ciatfon had still some sixteen months to run and that number of em- ployes had acted premature and applied unjustif1ab1e pressure, decided to stand by the firm that had been struck" As a consequence. some 5000 union men in Barre and other Washington county towns have 1oafed and as many more workmen-appren- tices, quarrymen, Jumpers, boxers, teamsters and derrickmen-have had to get along as best they could.
 The original issue faded away and work was resumed at an advance in pay of 10 cents day, or 60 cents a week, for the coming year, or bet terment of $50 in wages with a. wage payment loss of s250 to gain this ad- vantage.
 More than six weeks ago, says the Boston Transcript, the head of the union stated that, up to that time, the strike had cost the members of his organization, in wages given up and benefits expended. fully $1,000, 900; and 1t is probable that the strike cost the men at its completion a full million and a. half, to say nothing of what it cost the granite companies

A HIGH ROLLER.

The National City bank of Cam bridge, Mass, which has been wreck ed by 2 2S-year- bookkeeper, has disclosed a lack of supervision on the part of those in charge of it which is simply appalling. This trusted s1,200 bookkeeper made a club house of the bank after closing hours and served wine and light lunches therein to friends and women. Bookkeeper Cole man got to helping himself to the banks money and was in the habit of carrying large wads of it in his pock- ct An acquaintance says of him:
 Money was nothing to Coleman. If he lost at stocks or otherwise it didn't worry him, for he always had more.
 "He, was never without $3,006 or s4,00o in his pocket and often he car ried as much as s1o,oo0 or s15.00o- He was Q man easily persuaded, especially by women, and those who had gained his confidence had little difficulty in interesting him in their pet schemes and getting him to invest.
 His first f1ier in stocks of which I know was about two years ago, when he invested s30,000 and made money. Since then it has been no unusual thing for him to invest S1, 900 or s5,000 at a time in curb stocks, sometimes winning. but more often losing. He was a great gambler and if he lost a few thousands was always ready to put more money in and make another try
 When he was out with a party Coleman would never let anyone else have hand in settling the bills, but paid everything himself. At one time he had a suite at the Lenox, enter tained all his friends, and paid all the bills. He would never buy a glass of wine; it was always a bottle of cham pagne for every member of the party Fifty-cent cigars were the rule, and when q man didn't care for cigars he'd throw him half a dozen boxes of the choicest cigarettes
 He owned two automobiles and kept three women, and was getting s25 a week. It is strange that no one sus- pecteci him of dishonesty until $140,00o was disposed Of This is showing of duILness on the part of the manage Inent of the most discreditable sort

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May Be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as we'll as for preventing redIess, roughness, and chapping, and imparting that vel vety softness and whiteness much de- sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed to be superior to all other skin soaps For those who work in corrosive liquids, or at occupations which tend to injure the hands, it is invaluable
 Treatment-Bathe and soak the hands on retiring in a strong, hot, creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint- ment, and in severe cases spread the Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of old linen or cotton. Wear during the night old, loose gloves, or light ban dage of old cotton or linen to protect the clothing from stain. For red, rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis- sured, itching, feverish palms, and shapeless nails with painful finger ends, this treatment is most effective Cuticura Remedies are sold through out the world.
