There is certainly sound sense in this
position and there is not the slightest
doubt that Mr. Mansfield will be the
gainer by the new plan, says the New
Haven Register. The newspaper is
coming more and more to be recog-
nized by keen, intelligent businessmen
as the best medium t 'use in spreading
the knowledge of the' ' business enter-
prises to the public. here is no class
of enterprises more (1 )endent upon the
newspapers than the [meal companies.
People who wish to know what is going
on in the theatrical lire do not rush to
the nearest bill board; they take up
their home paper and look through its
columns, where they find the adver-
tisements giving all thetlesired infor-
mation. Money expended in costly
lithographs and immense show pictures
is money thrown away, es ecially for a
company of substantial erit. If is

in that class of advertising is vgry

ple and it is read by all members of the
family, It is a directory as well gs a

The movement started by Mr. Mans-
field may well spread throughout the
profession. The pictures of the bill
board might easily be spared. As works
of art they are usually failures. Cl hey
give a cheap, tawdry look to the street.
They are incongruous and inharmoni-
one, not fitting their surrou dings.
They, along with the despicable signs
that adorn fences and rocks, advising
the people of the merits of patent medi-
cines, are abnormal developments of
advertising enterprise and ought to be
abolished. As the cultivation of the
esthetic becomes more common, and in
co-ordination with that, as the precep-
tion that the newspaper is theonly val-
uable advertising medium becomes
more general, less and less attention
will be given to those forms of, adver-
tising, and money will be expended
mainly in the direction of newspaper
advertising. ‘

A Child Badly Burned.
About 8 o’clock last evening, Mrs.
Mary Anderson, who resides in the up-
per portion of No. 24 Park street was
down stairs talking with her neighbor
Mrs. Jane Drake, when her little
daughter ran down stairs and startled
the ladies with “O, Mamma, baby has
set the table cloth afire.” Mrs. Ander-
son rushed up stairs and found her in-
fant child, whom she had left but a mo-
ment before playing beside the table,
enveloped in flames. Mrs. Anderson
with the aid of a wet blanket succeeded
in putting out the fire, which in a few
minutes more would have fatally burned
the child. When Mrs. Anderson went
down stairs she left a lighted candle
standing in front of the stove and it is
thought that the baby’s attention was
attracted by the flame, which is so apt
to be the case with a child, and that it
picked the candle up and set the bottom
of the table cloth on fire.
The child was quite badly burned
about the feet and legs, and itwas only
the mother’s prempt action that saved
it from being burned to death, and
possibly the total destruction of the

Savings in Connecticut.
The annual report of the state Bank
Commissioners, showing the condition
of the savings and state banks and of
the Connecticut security and safe de-
posit companies for the year ending
Oct. 1, will be placed in the hands of
the Governor on the first of January.
The total increase in deposits in the
eighty-six savings banks in the state
W1 1 exceed $6,000,000, as compared
w1th 1890, the aggregate Oct. 1 of that
year being $116,406,675. There has
been 'a marked increase during the
year in the number of depositors hav-
ing each less than $1,000 on deposit.
One. year ago the number of such de-
posltors was 273,292. On the “other
hand, there has been a reductiendur-
ing the twelve months inthe total num-
ber of deposrtors each of whom has
$1,000but notmore than $2,000in bank.
Last year the number was 22,991. The
whole number of savings bank deposi-
tors 1n the state Oct. 1 will not aggre-
gate less than 310,000.
The general rate of interest thrOugh
the year has been 4 per cent, less than
ha1f_a dozen paymg 5. The Society of
Savings 1n Hartford, which has deposits
to the amount of $13,000,000 in round
figures, declared an extra dividend of 1
per cent. during the first quarter of the
year. Less than twenty of the banks
pay a 4.122 per cent. dividend to the de-
pos1tors.

A Bloody Murder.
The town of Shelton was the scene
of a fiendish and bloody murder about
10 o’clock Monday night. The victim
is a lady 26 years of age, named Mary
L. Monson. She resided alone in a
small tenement a mile from the center
of the village, and her death is charged
to John Hawley, a colored man, now
under arrest. 2
When Chief Tomlinson,who had been
sent for by a neighbor, arrived at the
house he was horrified at the sight that
met his gaze. Mrs. Monson lay on the
floor dead with a ragged gash in her
forehead which had been inflicted with
an axe and her breast was torn away by
a bullet, and another bullet had enter-
ed the unfortunate woman’s abdomen.
.Hawle was arrested at his home in
Birming am later. but re fused to‘talk.
He was in an excited condition and ap-
peared very much heated. He said he
was sick and had been taking a sweat.
HIS wife said he returned home at 11
o’clock. Everything points to him as
the murderer. Coroner Doten viewed
the remains yesterday. An inquest
w1ll probably beheld to-day.

Secretary Blaine was so busy at the
StateDepartment on Chilian matters
that he did not attend the Cabinet
meeting. There is an under-current of
confidential gossip in high political cir-
cles, that there are grave fears of our
Chilian Minister being assassinated at.
the American Legation, and that if he
be murdered that war is more than
likely to be a sequence, as the Presi-
dent and Secretary Blaine are thor-
oughly incensed at the insolence of
Chili and the quasi encouragement
Englishmen, who fear American trade
advantages, and seek to embitter the
natives against all Americans.
