To GLEN ISLAND.

The Second Trip Of the Seas0n-The
 Daughters of Liberty Among the
 Party.
 The steamer John H. Starin made her sec ond trip of the season to Starin's beautiful day summer resort, Glen Island, the fairy spot in New Rochelle harbor. The only or ganization aboard was the Daughters of Lib erty, and the opportunity for family parties was an excellent one. There was not large party yesterday, but those who went had a most enjoyable time. The sail down the Sound is always pleasant and the three hours stay at the island affords time to see the nu- merous attractions of the place. Glen Island is this year if anything more attractive than ever. The best of dinner and 8 genuine old- fashioned Rhode Island clambake are served
 as in previous years in the capaciots dining pavilion, while lunches may be obtained at
 the dairy or where Germany's favorite bever- age flows, in the main concert pavilion or at Klein Deutschland. Abundant provision for
 basket parties is made at Beach Lawn. The menagerie is considerably enlarged and some very fine specimens are shown In the hasin between the dining halls and the main pavil- ion sports school of some twelve or more seals, while the animal cages are more nu-
 merous than heretofore. Two horses with eight hoofs each, several donkeys which the children ride with delight, and an Irish
 iaunting car drawn by demure looking don-
 key are among the attractions. The beauties as well as the popularity of this place are ever on the increase and those who have
 never visited the island have lived in vain, while those who have visited it are determin- ed to go again. Tomorrow there will be another opportunity for family parties, but later in the season the boat will be occupied

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Health OMcer Willfston,s Report on she Mortality of June.

Health OMcer WlllfstOR's Report on she Mortality of June. At meeting of the board of health last night Health Officer Williston submitted
 printed copies of the mortality for June. He
 said that the death rate. 14.70 per ,000 per-
 sons, was rather large, which was due to the
 fact that for the past two years the death
 rate had been averaged on the population of
 the city being 5000, whereas it is at least
 S5, 900. The board has always taken the
 lowest estimate of the population, and if
 there was no objection he would make the
 death rate for the remainder of the year on
 the city's population being 5000. During the month of June there were 9S
 deaths; the average deaths:in the same month for the last five years were 103.4; the deaths
 in the corresponding month of last year were 11.20.
 During the month there were 13 still births. There were 15 deaths in the New Haven hos pital; one in St. Francis orphan asylum and one in the almshouse.
 One page of the report is devoted to the meteorological report for the month of June, furnished by Sergeant H. J. Cox.

And a Slight MYstery-A Family
 Episode.
 A bright child of about eleven summers appeared at a West Chapel street doctors residence on Monday and its message was that the doctors services were required al once for its mamma, who lived out West Chapel street near the end of the street. The doctor repaired to the place, but the man of the house said in much confusion that no doctor was required, and the physician rel tired. From subsequent developments it appears that the lady of the house when ex- cited fired of pistol, but had harmed no one and soon calmed down so that peace had been mutually declared.

 The steady decimatIon of Ireland $
 population IS the most impressive com
 mant upon the effect of England 5 rule that could be offered During last year, the emigration amounted to 80,000, an increase of 10000 over the year preceding Of this number, 60 per cent. wero between 15 and % years of age. That young element is the one which a nation can least af- ford to lose. It represents the strength of the present and the hope of tho fu- tuse, and to take out in one year 48,Q00 of the Irish youth is to inaict loss upon tho country winch is ire parable. A few years ago Ireland had 100000 population; now it has dwindled dewn to 4,700,000, with the number constantly decreasing. So much for the cruel and unjust treat msnt Ireland has received from En- gland. The Tory Government may opprsss and maltreat those who re- man behind, but it can not prevent the Irish people from leaving their misruled island, and seeking homes m some land where they will be treated with the justice due to common hu. manity.

To the north of tue lava flow. and lying in a country equally desc. late and arid, t' surveyors have come upon the ruins (, Gran Guivera, known already to the early Spanish explorers, but which have been visited by white men less often than the mysterious ruIns of PGienque in Central America. Only few people at Socorro and White Oaks hare been at Gran Guive- ra, because 1t IS at present 40 miles from water.
