HEALTH OF THE STATE.
Report of the Board of Health For |
May and Its Showing.

Report OF the bOard OF Health For
May and Its Showing.
The report for May of DIR C. A. Linds-
ley, secretary of the state board of
health, shows l III deaths, being 1913 more
than in May 1890 and 235 more than the
May average for five years. The death
rate for the state is 1873. The figures
given as to ceath rate are misleading
through what is perhaps a Topographic
corrected before such a document was
allowed to go out. According to the re-
port the death rate in the towns above
5000 population was 1916 and in the
other towns ia Then the general
death rate is given as 1873. This is
clearly impossible. A little examina-
tion showed that the rate for the large
towns should be 1875 in place of Is 5.
This error occurs in two places in the
report. A note in the body of the report
reads: ''It is to be observed that the
death rate in the rural towns is again
higher than in the cities and towns of
over 5000 inhabitants. It illustrates
the value of attention to public hygiene,
ton in the cities than in the country"
The sentiment is sound, but does not
seem to accord with the present facts.
The mortality in public institutions was
So. The deaths from zymotic diseases
were 1874, a much larger per cent than
in April. The grip is still prevalent all
over the state, but is generally decreas-
ing in violence and in number of cases.
The infectious diseases reported for the
month were measles, IL deaths; scarlet
fever, 10 deaths; cerebro-spinal fever,
25 deaths; diphtheria and Group, Sc
deaths and typhoid fever, 10 deaths

sPINNERs WILL FIGHT.

The Fall River Men Will Not Submit to a
Reduction in Wages.
FALL RIVER, Mass, June 1S.-The mule
spinners are excited over the news of
a proposed reduction in wages.
Secretary Howard says that any attempt
to reduce wages would be resented by
the spinners. At a meeting of the Elk
ecutive Committee of the Weavers' Asso-
citation the proposed action of the manu-
facturers was looked upon as a game of
bluff.
The Manufacturers Association have
not yet decided on a date for a meeting
to put the proposed reduction in force.

Combination in SUGAR provided that
they sell at the same price and get one

KELLY thought that price too high and
went into the jobbing' business, buying
sugar in carloads direct from the refiners.
The result is that Kelly has compelled the
wholesalers to adopt his method.
But KELLY can go the wholesalers one
better. He buys in car lots and has his
sugar delivered direct to Waterbury. The
wholesalers store their sugar in New Ha-
ven or Bridgeport and have to pay two
feight bills and double carriage.
KELLY further says before the city ex-
