High This Low Tide At 5:13 at 6:33 at ‘12“ at 10:38 Pros and Cons of‘ Oyster i‘olicc Bill. . (Hartford Post.) The Miller the creation of an oyster police raises one of the most puzzling questions th has been before a Connec- stout legieia re for some time. The Iattsrof necessary expenditure in- volved cuts vdry little figure. The main question is wh~ her it is right or just for the stats to o to such a police and strong argunm s are advanced on both ides. Theoystermen and advocates of the hill base their c on the fact that they payastatetaxau that the state is in honor hound t provide protection. Under the wt w oyster property is taxed one per cent. n the value unused by the Shell Fish Commissioners and at resent the tax returns about 87.500 an- nually. This shows that he property is ”all at $750,000, tiJrgh its actual value myth the way from $00,000 to 0! 000,000. The oyslermen ask that one-third of what they pay in taxes to the state he depended for police protection against pi- rates. These "pirates" are usually peo~ pie who live along the shore and dark nighlseail out cver private oyster beds with their dredgee and scoop up oysters that have been cultivated by private en- terprise. They are not like ordinary land trespasscrs. While the beds are private property. every one has a right. to sell over them. No man can be prov- ed a ireepnsser unless be us actually caught in the act of dredging for oysters on private beds. Although the Oyster Growers’ amoeiation spends something iihe.ll.000 annually for protection on itsown account. the piratesI they any. do a rushing business and what is needed are police. clothed with state authority. even if they are few and far between. The adjacent towns afford them no con- Itabulary protection except such as may he aflorded where it is not needed to Mr wharvcs and buildings on the shore on which they pay taxes to the towns and not to the state. The oystermen claim that it is not right that they should pay taxes and re salve no protection. particularly in view of the fact that they have taken these and beds which were worth nothing and created a property oi so much value Host of those who oppose the bill op- pose It on principle. They do not object my to tbeexpenditure of 83.600 and they argue that if it is right for the state toapend that amount for policing the symr beds. it should spend enough so that the policing would be adequate. tthsy say that the state has no right to a police to protect private pro party. simpiy Manse it pays a tax. and that the railroads which pay nearly ”0,000 in taxes to the state might just upscpsriyeak for-stats police to keep son at! train wrecker-s off their tracks uthat mutual fire lnsunrance companies :ghtjustaswell ask tehevs the state their risks from incendiarlsm.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Received Highest Awards AT THE WORLD'S FAIR n eoooooccoooeceeoeoeeo 00000000000 doubtful precedent, but there is great difference of opinion as to whether the claims of the oystermen are just. Two— thirds of what they pay in taxes is ab ready used up in the expenses of the fish commission; so that if the bill, passe all the oystermen pay in taxes will go to the commissioners and the police. There is grave doubt as to whether any one pay ing taxes to the state can claim the ex. penditure of it all in his own behalf and this has suggested the pending amend- ment increasing the tax to 11} per cent. If the bill isajust one it still has. it seems to us. the fatal defect of not pro- viding sufficiently for what it proposes to do. It is absurd obviously to think that theexpenditure of only from $2,500 to $3,000 annually would result in much protection from the pirates all along the Connecticut shore. Such a police could hardly be in more than one place at a time and might not be enough to capture the pirates even then. ,If the bill is right at all it is right that the state should spend enough to maintain an adequate police force along the shore.

POPUIiAB AlUlliiMllNTS. lens of the Innis in which Harwell People are Interested. Ullie Ackerstrom completed a three nights' engagement. at Hoyt‘s Theatre, Saturday night. presenting the humor- ous play, "lielinda’s Woe." She delight- ed her audience with her songs and graceful dancing. Her acting is always pleasing. The simplicity and individu- ality she giveeto her portrayals mates them very interesting. One of the best dramas ever presented beforeelforwalk audience was “Dark— est Easels," at lush: Hail. Saturday night. The play throughout is fated toercite the deepest interest, and it was interpreted by an unusually strong cast: in fact, there was not a weak member in the company. The scenic featurrs were assailants“ oflt being especially designed for the pre- sentation of the piece. The costumes were in every instance tasteful and magnificent. There was a fair stud au- dienci in attendance, but not near as largest the performance merited. This was doubtless due to the stormy night.

HALE’S at the Park City theatre yesterday after- noon and evening. The play is too well known to require any sort of a review. The cast was in all respects excellent and uniformly satisfying. Frank Lymsn’s portrayal of the cheracterless Prince Von Haldenwsid was very cleverly done George W. Barnum was perfect in the accent and actions of the Due de Vigny- Voienie. Forest Gibson was a good type of the American business man. Alberta Gaiiatin was a handsome and a fascinat' ing Virginia, Laura Alberta was particu- larly acceptable as Diana. and Arnold Dsly was good as Stuyvesant Stockton. Like all of Frobman‘s productions. it was practically flawless.” One of the best features of Prof. W. Gilbert Newell's twelfth annual exhibi- tion and reception, which takes place at Music Hall, Friday evening. April 19. will be the “Maids of the Mist.” given by ten little misses, never seen before. It is charming; also the eight little babies in pretty dances and good night drill. solo dances, the German, Grandma's Minuet, and other specialties. The programme arranged for the con- cert to be given for the First Methodist church League cannot fail topiease. it will be one of ,nnusuel excellence, as the artists have no superiors. Miss Alice Sherwood needs no recommendation in the Norwalke, while Robert Weber the boy singer. has delighted large audiences here with his beautiful voice. Miss Jase phine Jennings. a charming soprano. has been heard here before, and none should fail to hear her this time in sweet eelec tions of song. R. R. and G. M Selle-ck. were former residents of this city. They have voices which commend them to all. hire. T. Vale Wood. a young and pretty elocutlonist. has appeared before the largest audiences. She has a powerful voice and commanding stage manner. Frank Cometock will he heard in a solo. there will be musical selection by the Misses Disbrow and Benedic, ilowerd Tilly. Misses Peck and Smith,f)|ive Holt, and a selected musical trio. The floral decorations will be of an elaborate cher- scter. and there will be fine musical ac- companiste. The concert will be given in the church. The doors will hooped at 6:45 so that none will be obliged to wait for admission. The low price of thirty five cents is asked. but the concert will be worth twice that amount. Tickets can be secured at PIaisted's and Greg- ory‘s. C. E. Seymour's. and Ilrown & Wilcox‘s stores.
