<. II. Hyde, Il. S. Gold and j. w. AL
sop, State commissioners on diseases of
domesticated animals, have issued spec
ial report on tuberculosis, from which a
few words of warning are taken for the
benefit of the farmer:
Tuberculosis isnot tonlycommunicated from
animal to animal, but from man TO animal, or
the reverse and therefore greatest care should
be exercised whenever tuberculosis which is
most commonly found in the form of pulmo-
nary or lung consumption, is suspected. 1t is
one OF the worst scourges affecting humanity;
yet 1t is, to a large extent, capable of prevent
ion. tuberculosis, affecting the lungs, the
most common and communicable FORM is in
dicated by a cough, difficult respiration and
wasting away. The persistence ofthese symr
toms proves that it is not common cold.
The animal should be quarantined; if Il mich
cow, the milk rejected; if there is no speedy
recovery, a veterinarian should be consulted
or the beast slaughtered as valueless and dan
gerous. The soundness of all cattle purchas-
ed, as well as their antecedents, should be
carefully examined. Crowded, overheated
stables, with imperfect ventilation, any
causes by which the tone of the system is
duced, favor the development of the disease
by destroying the power of resistance. As
should never be used as Il breeder. tuber-
culous animal has little strength for work and
will not pay for keeping. In milch cows, in
addition to the common danger OF contagion,
the milk is unsafe tor food even for swine or
poultry and it only remains for the owner of
a tuberculous subject to meet the loss prompt
ly and slaughter the animal before others con
tract the disease. While all would avoid tu-
berculous beet as food, yet we may recollect
that thorough cooking destroys its dangerous
properties and boiling has the same effect on
milk. destroying the germs of disease. From
its very nature, the prevention OF the spread
of tuberculosis and the eradication of the ex-
listing cases, depend upon the cattle owners
themselves and on them rests the responsible
ity
Though such cases have been rare in
Newtown and vicinity, yet there is much
in this report to commend it to the at
tention of the careful dairyman.

Stunning Athletics.

The ball game, announced in your last
issue between the machine and heater de-
partment employees of the n. Y. B. & p.
Co, mainly composed of old men, came
eff, Saturday afternoon, at the Glen
grounds, before large crowd. Play
was commenced ats o'clock, with Tom
Kane of the heater department at the bat.
He did not stay long, being struck out
and was succeeded by Dan Blake, who
quickly sent the 'sleather" out to left
field and got to second base, being ably
assisted by Ed kilbride. Three runs
were scored in this inning and then the
machinists went in for their half. John
Graham (who was enjoying with Sir
Walter Raleighish relish the grateful
fumes of mild Hayana) was first to try
conclusions, asking the pitcher to send
him nice ball, which he hit in profess
sional style and scored the first run for
his side il.idst the cheers of the crowd.
account of the work done by each player,
but will mention some who acquitted
themselves creditably. The fielding of
Albert Coles deserves special mention,
he having caught some ''dandy fiies;" he
also did good work at the bat. Charley
Hurlbut on second might be equalled but
not excelled. The local Rubber nine
would do well to take some points from
Tom Carey, whose play at short stop was
real good. With little practice, Henry

field as any young lad, though in error
on his part lost his side the game, whilst
Ed Kilbride astonished even himself by
knocking three-bagger. The game con-
sisted of five innings and was won by the
maciiinists, their score being . against
their opponents 4. After the game, the
players adjourned to the grove, where
refreshments were served and dancing
and singing enjoyed, the music being fur
nished by the Becker orchestra. After
doing ample justice to the refreshments,
the party again repaired to the field to
take part in the athletic events. The 1OO

The Norwalk Hour, In which Editor
Naples airs his spites without charity or
courtesy, even though the property is
said to be mortgaged to ex-senator Hill,
has renewed It's attacks on Sentor Catlin
of Bridgeport, whose name has been
mentioned as Republican candidate for
State treasurer. There Is little history
back of this. When Mr. Catlin was NOM
mated for State senator, the Hour came
out with two editorials In the same issue,
one patting Mr. Catlin on the back, while
the other fed sugar plums to Mayor Hub
bell of South Norwalk. Whether or no
this was bid for sugar, the Hour there
after supported Mr. Hubbell. whether
this was the cause OF Mr. Catlln's election.
the BEE does not know, not being In pol
itics; but when Editor Naples went up
to Hartford to occupy the chair that he
had held In the Senate chamber for SO
long, he was met by a resolution ap-
pointing a committee TO assign seats TO
reporters OF the daily papers. Mr. Catlin
and John M. Hall, another friend whom
Editor Naples has loaded with spare gall
left from tearing the Consolidated road
to pieces, were placed upon this commit
tee and. somehow, there was no seat as
signed to Editor Naples, whose Hour Is
weekly. This cost him the $3.50 or so
that he has been drawing out Of the State
treasury, 10 these many years and you
may wager your spare nickels that the
Hour will not forget 1t II Senator Catlin
should be nominated for State treasurer
The BEE keeps out OF politics and l. just
q free OF influence from the Consolidat-
"a road a. the Hour, but IL doesn't want
Editor Naples to mistake his spite for
public spirit.

At the meeting of the Congregational
society, Saturday night, the vote to call
Rev Mr. Delzell as pastor for year was
unanimous. Ladies of the church have
given the parsonage thorough cleaning
and members of the society have attend
ed to securing the hay on the parsonage
lot and other needed improvements about
the premises. Mr. Dalzell's household
effects arrived, this week and his wife, a
New Haven lady, with her little boys,
one four years and the other Is months
old, were expected later in the week to
occupy their new home at once.
In his address to the church, Sunday,
the pastor spoke in an earnest and con-
vincing way of the new relation which
he and the church held to each other, ac-
cepting the call as coming not alone from
the church but as of Divine origin, TAX
ing as his text the admonition of the vet
eran Paul to the younger Timothy and
drew lessons which were specially ap-
plicable to the existing relations between
himself and the church. Mr. Delzell laid
particular stress upon the preaching OF
sound doctrine as a first duty of the min
lister, declaring his intention to preach
none other and incidentally paid tribute
to the intelligence of rural New England,
which demands type of preaching even
more thoughtful than the village or city
church, because of wider culture from
book education, while the city mind is
h5r ha
ings chronicled by the daily press. Ex-
pressions of congratulation and satisfac-
tion are heard from many in the church,
that the vacant pulpit has been filled so
quickly and happily, which augurs we'll
for the future of Mr. Delzell's work in the
church and parish.

fitted up "A special department for making
Life-Size Portraits in Crayon, Pastel, and
Water-COlors Of superior finish to any work
of this class in the city. and are thoroughly
equipped for turning these pictures out in
the shortest possible notice.
a few weeks ago, il Will be remembered.
we gave away ONE THOUSAND free sittings
for Pearl-rypes. The result has been not
only satisfactorily, but also highly fatter-
ing to us. We have. therefore, determined
to advertise our Llfe-Size Portraits in a
similar manner We propose TO give away
absolutely free of charge one hundred Life
Size Portraits. Please bear in mind that
these portraits are not given as premiums
with dozen cabinet photos. You pay for
no cabinet photographs in order TO secure
one of these portraits. We give you por
trait absolutely and entirely free of charge.
These portraits are given away solely to ad-
yertise our business and not as money
making scheme. We expect 10 reap our
harvest OF money from the cash orders that
these elegant portraits will secure for us.
OF course we expect those who receive
these free portraits TO have them nicely
framed that they may be seen to proper ad-
vantage. If we can afford to make you
present of fine Life-SiZe Portrait you can
certainly afford to frame it. for if it is not
worth framing it is not worth having, and
would therefore be of no service to you and
no advertisement for us. However, we do
not want those who receive these free POr-
traits TO 90 to any unnecessary expense for
frames. We have made special arrange
ments with the largest factory in the United
States, by which we will be enabled to have

beautiful frame cannot possibly be sold for
less than $3.50 retail. Your Portrait costs
you nothingI you need not pay over $3.50
for your frame. We will now explain the
manner in which these portraits will be
given away. In order to avoid a rush and
to give everybody an equal chance. we will
issue 100 tickets, n limited number only of
which will be given away each day. The
distribution of these tickets to continue till
the 100 are all taken up. Parties who re-
ceive these tickets can sit Immediately or
