TWO EXECUTIONS IN CHICAGO
Says tho Chicago Tribune:

Says tho Chicago Tribune:
 With our murder and homi-
 eide record of 2S3 this year in
 this county two men have been
 hanged, two Negroes, both poor
 and without friends. II is the
 experience of this county that
 a murderer with money will
 not be hanged The money for
 Scott came largely from igno-
 rant sensation~scoking women
 in Detroit. Money beats the
 hangman, Our system Of apply
 ing criminal laws gives 1t every
 chance"
 From which one Grts the impress sion that 10 he poor and without friends in Chicago is a worse ca lamity than 1t ought 10 be. When the law becomes one thing for the poor and friendloss and another for the wealthy and influential the bed rock Of stability is broken, and the record in Chicago - an average of one a day -- proves the point, It appears that most of those who commit this crime in Chicago are not entirely friendless nor en- tirely bereft of influence, although most of them need neither, as it is unusual for the authorities 10 bring any of them to trial, most of them never being caught.

THE HEAT OF SUMMER
 AND THEATRES

There was time In the history of every city when the summer was dead so far as theater going was concernod: most theatcrs were dark" all summer. Matters have changed with the advent of the moving pictures, and today we find such theaters for the most part not only open throughout the heated term but they arc well patronizcd. A few of them, of course, are closed; but a scrutiny of the ad- vertisemcnts in newspapers indi- catcs that the leading theaters keep going without the old-time summer intermission.
 Nothing could he more significant of thc hold exercised by the moving nicture dramas upon the public. They are a staple product. In New Britain theater patronage to those houses which have been open throughout the summer has been excellent, to all appearances. The ability of theater managers to keep places of amusement cool and com fortablc throughout heated weather has been no small factor in the success of summer thcatricals.

In the record of the 5Sd congress, which preceded the political conventions of 1896, there Is speech by Con- grcsSman Samuel w. Mccall, in which the crown of thorns and cross of gold metaphor Is used in nearly the same wording made famous by Bryan. In later years, when Mir. Mccall was asked about the "coincidence, he said, "Yes Bryan borrowed 1t from one of my congressional speeches. And prob ably stole 1t from somebody else"
 The Detroit News writer takes these instances of borrowed plum age to explain why Charles A.

ELECTRIC LINES IN LARGE AND SMALL CITIES

Tn all probability, judging entireiy from reports based upon survey of the trolley situation throughout the eastern cities, prorortionately more people ride to and from worh in their own automobiles in the smaller cities than in the large cities No other conclusion is to be drawn from the fact that 90 per cent of the people in the large cities still use the electric lines regularly and that so per cent of those owning automobiles still use the electrics' either subway, elevated or trolleys.
 A personal observation by anyone in any large city will show that inc subway and elevated lines are still crowded. Isn't the political battle in New York largely one hinging around more subways?"
 But the reason for the subway elevated or trollcy's continued noruIarity in largo cities is due to tbe fact that they are more con- venicuI than any other form ol transportation. It all tho persons riding in them were to transfer 10 automobiles in going to and from work f would be impossible to get near the downtown section on ac- count of automobile congestion The streets simply could not hold the total of motor cars. And thcrc vou,d bc no room in which to park them during business hours.
 Tn the smaller cities these cond'- lions do not obtain It has become more convenient to large numbers of rcorle 10 uso automobiles Tn making the comparative shorter trin from their homes 10 work with tbe use of machines. Whereas the automobile traffic in n large city is something to he avoided by the mass of automobile owners, condl- lions in the smaller cities arc not nearly as serious,
 In addition 10 that, the rides on the subways, elevated lines or troll Ieys in the larger cities are much longer for one fare than is usually tho case in the smaller cities, It is not only more convenient through thc avoidance of traffic 10 ride in tho suhways, but 1t is also cheaper
 But in tho smaller cities condi- lions arc reversed; and it often hap ncns that wcll-wishers of the trol- ley companies makes the mistake Of citing electric statistics from the large cities in support Of conten- tions that trolleys are holding their

Massachusetts, sit up and take par ticular notice.
 Yet we feel that some rnttlesnake dens have been omitted, and these arc comparatively close to New Britain. The Pinnacle mountains, between New Britain and Farming ton, are usually loaded with rattle snakes and one of the mountains was named Rattlesnake mountain because of It's characteristics as breeding ground for rattlcrs, Rattle snake mountain is north Of New Britain. and is reached through Pennington avenue: hut the best plan is to avoid 1t. The rattlesnake dens in the Meriden mountains arc also not to be overlooked, and Sun sct Rock, between White Oak and New Britain, a favorite haunt for hiking parties has enough rattlers on it 10 keep any snake busy, Strange 10 say, however, the rat tiers have not prevented the popu- larity Of the mountains as a mixers paradise.
 The mountains between Southing- ton and Waterbury, which are traycrscd by numerous autoists en route between New Britain and Waterbury, are widely known for the production Of rattlers, and this year have produced more of them than ever before, according to re- ports. The snakes are so numerous, in fact, that they frequently contest the roadway with autoists, but 1t doesn't do a snake bit of good to bite an automobile.
 A New Britain resident who had occasion to motor over the highway between Rockville and Crystal lake, In Ellington, reported that scores of adders were "wiggling" across the highway at the time. By the way. an advantage of riding in an auto mobile Is that such a little occur renee is nothing 10 worry about, The average autoists merely steps on the gas and lets the snakes take the consequences, Sometimes, under such circumstances, the wheels may skid a little, but that is all,
 Connecticut's rattlesnakes could be all but decimated through the exercise of an organized campaign of cXtcrmination. A number of pigs turned loose upon each infested crag would make short work Of them in d season. As dcstroycrs of snakes pigs are wonders, and the bite from the snakes do not bother them in the least, nor does the poison have the slightest effect upon them. If such an organized system of snake cxtermination were carried out everywhere the country would save the loss of a certain number of persons every year, How many Is questionable.

Down in New Jersey there are solid swarms Of mosquitos, Demo- cratic oaiceholders, Jersey jus ticc," bathing beauties, board walks, fvc-cent fares, commuters and jay-walkers.
 A committee from the Chamber of Commerce. spent profitable time there Investigating new and novel store lighting effects. The object was 10 acquire ideas to apply in New Britain; in other words, 1t wanted more light 10 apply on the lighting situation.
 What may happen this fall Is that sundry New Britain establishments may blaze forth with a new and radiant glow; the lighting effects of the thoatrrs may be no whit superior to those 10 be seen every evening in merchants windows and stores.
 All of which will be q benefit to the city by enhancing interest in thc progr, ssivencss of storckeepers. When all is said and done, they form the basis of the citys com morcial character. People judge q city largely by the appearance or its stores, and more light and plenty Of it, with artistic effects cannot do otherwise than add to the good commercial reputation of the city.

WHEN BICYCLE SPEEDERS
 PESTERTD THE TOWN

In the 25-years-ago department ot the Herald the other day ap- peared a reference 10 bicycle speed CTS on West Main street. and how they were menace 10 life and limb Those were the days when the hi- cycle craze was at its height and the great industry of furnishing bl- cycles for the nation centered in Connecticut.
 In those good old days of only 25 years ago it was every hc-man's ambition 10 have pcdaled a "ccn- tury" in one day. and Sunday was the universal day for pushing a bi- cycle 100 miles. And attaining to this honor in Connecticut was con- siderably more of q job than in some states, for the Nutmeg state, with it's many hills, made pcdaling up the hills hard task - although coasting down them was quite a short and pleasant experience.
 The difference between mankind nowadays and only 25 years ago is that today man gets very much less exercise. We travel 100 miles with out batting an eye, without engaE- ing in a bit of exercise except to drink in" tho pure country air. Some Of our catimahlc citizens ride their motor cars 10 their offices and return every day, thus denying 10 themselves the exercise of even a comparatively short walk. If is stated, in fact, that modern man is coming to the point where a walk of ten blocks is looked upon as d tremendously difficult undertaking
 The bicycle riders of q hygone generation were built in different mould. The man who could ride q bicycle for short spin of 25 miles along Comociirui's winding high ways -- such as they were in those days - got a dral Of exercise. He developed muscle, lung power and was "hard as nails" Some of the most prominent mon in the city once were first class hicycI" riders and in their younger days probably wero looked upon as paraEons of hcalt)l and efr.uStn. Ask them to pedal bicycle today and thoy would think you wcrc crazy
 Some physicians arc said 10 con template rho future 0i'h mtsri,ings. Man, they saN. will doroncrat. rhy- sjcalDy ou account of his extreme reliance upon tires.
