A Dangerous, Bill.
There-ispendi’ng before the general
assemblya bill that good morals and
the public welfare alike demand Ishall
not-pass. Ithas received the approval
0 ’3 the judiciary committee, largely be-
i'cause‘t was not contested. and for this
reason the likelihood of
strengthened.
We refer, says tlic Ansonia Sentinel,
to a bill that provides for the parole of
life prisoners who have served fifteen
passage is
yearsbr longer and who may obtain'
the consent of the board of pardons.
Godd behavior is to be made the test of
admissibility to this privilege, which
is to continue so long as a correct life
in the open world is preserved. The
method of release differs from pardOn
- Only in that the beneficiary may be
put back behind the prison bars when.
ever he shall he complained against for
bad conduct, without further formality.
This bill is ostensibly drawn as a
'.public act, but its operation will affect
so few persons, less than a half dozen,
that it may well be classed as a private
measure. In fact, there are strong rea-
sons to believe it is intended for the
benefit of but a single individual, and
will not be likely to stand after it shall
have served its purpose. It is a crafty
.and dangerous measure and the life
ought to be stamped out of it the
moment it is put to vote. .
The danger lies in the case with
which provision is made for the release
upon the world of a class of criminals
who have been consigned to banish-
ment from human life because they
have forfeited the right to mingle with
it. The method proposed is much
more subtle and taking in the exer.
cise of clemency than pardon, because
the application for .its issue is placed
upon a plea for a trial of good behavior
\ simply, with the possibility of forfeiture
Upon the commission of an offense.
Pardon is unconditional and once
granted cannot be revoked. The very
effect of this is deterrent. Parole, it
will be urged, may be terminated at
any time that occasion demands, and
this possibility will have weight in the
consideration of applications for release
under the parole bill.
PrisOn doors ' swing open all
easily as things now exist. Let not
the’ way be made more facile. The
rehabilitation of criminals goes on too
swiftly, and the need is in the direction
of keeping them shut up I ather than
turning them loose upon the commun-

ation, has once passed the life sentence
_upon a convict that sentence ought to
stand unless facts subsequently develop

carriage ol jUsticzor the punishment
is undeserlred. Good behavior be-
hind prison bars ought to be

freedom to men whose bloody crimes

HenryfllinGoodwin Dead.
Henry L. Goodwin, of East Hartford,
well known throughout the state for
his opposition to the Consolidatedrail-
road, died from a severe attack of pneu-
monia at his home at 2:55 o’clock this
merning. Mr. Goodwin was stricken
while in the hall of the House of Rep-
resentatives last week Friday, havmg
a fainting fit, from which he recovered
i in about half an hour, so as to be taken
to his home in the Burnside district.
Pneumonia developed and Mr. Good Win
has failed rapidly .since then, principal-
ly because of his feeble condition and
advanced age.

AM,USEMENTS. -
The Kennedy Players,
Jno. J. Kennedy, who heads the list
of the “Kennedy Players,” is certainly
a very ,funny comedian. In fact, his
speeches in front of the curtain each
evening are so entertaining and origi-
nal that he has become in each. town
and city a household name. It is per-
fectly easy to engage great artists to
support such a star, for Mr. Kennedy
never refuses to permit an actor in his
company to introduce anything that is
legitimate, to make his part stronger.
In fact, why should he. for wherever
or whenever he appears before an
audience he. makes his presence felt.
It actually seems as though. they had
been hypnotized by his funny sayings.
He is certainly one of the youngest
and brightest Comedians on the stage
of to-day. and fears no rival. He will be
seen at Hoyt’s Theatre all. next week
with the Kennedy Players.

.’ AGE OF NIAGARA.
The Latest Estimate 1:: That the Great
Gorge “'as Made 12,000
Year: Ago.
Some interesting speculations con-
cerning the age of the‘Niagiara. gorge
are reported by Nature. This was the
subject of a paper by Prof. -G.~Fred-
erick Wright, read at the Boston meet-
ing of the American association. The
late. Dr. James Hall early noted the
significant fact that “the outlet of the
chasm below Niagara falls is scarcely
wider than elsewhere along its course.”
This is important evidence of the late
date of its origin and it has been used
in. support of the short estimates which
have been- made concerning the length
of time separating us from the glacial
period. A close examination made by
Prof} Wright last summer greatly
strengthens the force of the argument,
since he found that the disintegrating
forces tending to enlarge the outlines
and give» it a V-sha-pe ,are more rapid
than has been supposed. As the result
of his investigations heconcludes that
a. conservative estimate of the rateaof
disintegration for the 70 feet of Ni-
agara. shales supporting the Niagara.
limestone would be one inch 3. year,
with a probable rate of two' inches 0.
year. But at the lowest estimate no,
more than 12,000 years, would be re-
quired for the enlargement of ill-.6111)-
per part- of the mouth of the gorge,
1,000 feet on each side. which is very
largely in excess of the actual amount
of enlargement. Some of the recent
estimates. therefore. \\ hich wrould
make the gorge from 510.000 to 40,000
years old. are regarded as extravagant.
According 10 Prof. Wright the age of
the gorge cannot be much more than
