Remembering Don Quixote.

(From the Indianapolis News.)
 This country is taking a somewhat belated interest in preparations which have been under way in Spain since the beginning of" the year to celebrate the Cervantes tercentenary. It will be 300 years next spring Miguel de Ger vantes Saavedra died. He left behind him humble family, an inconspic- uous name and no fortune to speak of-only his books. He is best known for "Don Quixote' of which an ap- preciative critic says: Children turn it's leaves, young people read it. grown men understand it, old folks praise it." All Spain has engaged to do honor to Cervantes next year. The king has. interested himself officially and personally" in the plans. There is to be a national celebration, an

art and library display, memorial stamps and coins are to be produced, public meetings in the cities-Madrid. Seville, Valladolid, Toledo, Cordova -are to be held in honor of the au- thor and in praise of his work.
 Cervantes lived and worked for considerable portion of his life in old Toledo. Writers have remarked on the failure at tourists to stop at the Cervantes house, as they would at Stratford. Even the native guides have in the past neglected to do as much as they might in the way of calling attention to the historic place, as squalid now as it was in the day of Cervantes. Contrast displayed by the English in all things connected with Shakespeare. Shakespeare was no more to the English than Cervan- tes that the Spanish people have neg lected Don Quixote." That classic book. the product of hours of toll in pverty in slavery, in prisn and at times comparative ease, is the na- tional literary work.

Good News From Hartford.

The mero -g of money is not always truly ,ncouraging as it ap- pears but closer examination does not spoil the news from Hartford that the expenditures of the state, for the year ending September 30, were less by $1,366,619 than those of the previous year. This is sum considerably in excess of the amount received from the state tax. It is saved despite the fact that the legislature was in ses- sion this year. and its direct and in- cidental expenses are added.
 How was the money saved? Run hing down the list, it is easy to catch the big drop in the outgo of the high ways department The details of how it accomplished it are not yet given, but we know in gross that it saved s1,201, ,094.41 in the year. The dif- ference between this and the total, amounting to only S165,524.59, is al- most covered by the reduction of $165,524.59. is almost covered by the reduction of $162,564.43 in the amount drawn by humane institu- tions. In addition to that state pri- sons cost 13,6s4.67 less. and the tuberculosis commission received $216,S2722 less. So there was oppor- tunity, evidently improved, for in- crease in some other departments
 It does not appear that there has been a serious drop in the efficiency Or in the results secured by the high way department. 1t was apparent that here was our most expensive de- partment, and naturally a great effort was made to secure a better showing for it. Whether that record can be kept up is a question, but there has been no change in administration there. We can hardly afford to let up materially on our highway im- provement program, but we do need to keep up the economy thtre. That need not be the only point however. The showing of the year is a good one. Let the check be continued un- til the speed of our increasing re- ceipts catches up with the speed of our increasing expenditures, and then, perhaps, we can get along without a state tax. The good showing is only an incentive to make a better one next year.

the same year as that of Cervantes. Spain plans to take advantage of this and share with the English poet a few of the honors gathered for Ger vantes. Everybody in Spain, 1t is said, believes in Don Quixote, mot the book, but the character. There are even some who profess to be descend ed from the knight. And possibly some humber serving people, some families of muleteers, are to be found proud to trace their ancestry to the illustrious and faithful Sancho. This sentiment is characteristic. The people have entered into the celebration with enthusiasm, numerous editions of the writer's works being prepared for special sale.

FIVE ARE CAUGHT
 IN GAMBLING RAID
Proprietor Is Fined S26 and Costs
 -FrequenterS Taxed S5 Each

As the result of a gambling raid uel Bamforth, Officer A. C. Malone and Supernumerary Officer Horace Mercure at the coffee house at IS Lafayette street about 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon Armah Peter. 2l. proprietor, was fined $25 and costs by Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning, and Baba Mooshal, Mar GUS Kanoskian, Karel Kayas and Jo- seph Bagdasorian, frequenters, were each fined $5 and costs for gambling.
 The police were tipped off that there was a gambling joint on Lafayette street when brother of one of the gamblers made a complaint that he was being pauperized by the card route. Sergeant Bamforth and Officer Malone testified that when they en- tered the place they found four of the accused seated at a table playing "thirty-one." There was no money on the table, but the players had the money underneath the table in their laps. They showed it in their pockets when the police arrived.
 All of the accused denied gambling. They said they were playing cards to pass the time away, and the money mentioned by the police was that which they spent for coffee. The pro prietor also denied running a gambling house and said he did not know what game the quartet were playing. Eli Josef, Saul Abraham and Sam Moos- hall, erstwhile frequenters of Peters pool room and coffee house, testified, however. that on many occasions in the past they had seen gambling going on there. and all declared that the proprietor received a rake-off of ten cents per game.
 Youth Sent to Jail.
 James Corbett, a youth of nineteen years. was sent to jail for thirty days on a charge of drunkenness. He was arrested by Officer Charles Mccarthy on Main street Saturday night fol- lowing a fight upon the railroad tracks. When Corbett staggered down Main street he had large stone in his pocket, but he denied having taken part in the fight or of having the stone as a weapon of offense. He had the stone to crack walnuts with, he said.
 Accused Is Lucky.
 Amos Begorra was lucky this morn ing when he was arraigned on a charge of breach of the peace. He was arrested by Officer Heslin on a complaint preferred by Mrs. Morley | The woman was the only witness against the accused and when she failed to appear in court Prosecutor Klett entered a nolle, after giving Be- | gorra a warning.
 | Kislowski told the court that he was at work Wednesday morning and wanted to get out and go home. He | knew he could not get out without a pass and that the watchman at the gate would not let him through Therefore, he used strategy. He Dor rowed" a bicycle from the racks and rode out, giving the watchman the impression that he was an errand boy His ruse was successful and he left the wheel against the curb outside the factory.
