THE COMING POULTRY SHOW.
1t VIII be a Big Exhibit-Largest Ever
Held In the State.

Several very handsome premiums have
been added to the already very large
premium list of the New Haven Poultry
association for their poultry show in Janu-
ary. Besides these the Connecticut Poultry
association of Hartford which, as previous
ly stated, decided to forgo their show and
join in with the New Haveners, have sent
down several very beautiful and costly
premiums, among which ia handsome
silver ice pitcher and service.
One of the chief features of the exhibit,
and one which is rarely seen will be a
group of a dozen Chinese pheasants owned
by John B Robertson of this city. These
will be among the rarest exhibits seen
there.
The coming show will be the finest ever
seen in the state, Judging from all the
indications. The premium list offered is
by far the largest in the history of poultry
exhibitions in Few Haven. --.,zs4,.-e.s.......,.

ESQ., OF Barre. A rumor is afloat that Bis
sett Brothers, Gamble Brothers, Fort and
others are about to organize a stock COM

Regarding the strike, there is no change
in the situation, unless it be that the New

drawing the cords the tighter. They issued
a public circular, last Saturday, saying
that, for their own protection, they would
not hereafter hire men who should at any
time go to work for firms that have been
dropped by the association.

Real MOOrs i'm America.
A CARAVAN OF THIRTY FIVE MEN, WOMEN AND
CHILDREN BROUGHT FROM AFRICA

What is undoubtedly the most important
engagement of any foreign feature for an
American amusement institution is the one
secured for the year 1892 by Manager j. T.
McCaddon for the Adam Forepaugh Shows
in the form of Ben Hadjal Pashas Wild
Moorish Caravan Camp and Circus Com
pany. Ben Hadjali has been in the Sultan's
dominion for many years past what the
great Adam Forepaugh was to this country
the leading showman-with this exception
that Hadlali was performer as well as
manager. He was the prime favorite of the
late sultan, and received from time to time
very many honors and presents. AS a
special mark of esteem, however, when
HadJali determined to visit all the coun-
tries on the continent of Europe the sultan
presented him with two of the most beauti-
iul ladies' in the imperial harem and granted
nm the altogether unprecedented privilege
of taking these ladies of the harem to for
eign countries Hadjali has been for the
last three years exhibiting before the royal
courts OF Europe. Besides these two ladies'
OF the harem he has two Moorish ladies and
two Arabian ladies', all stars of the first
magnitude in the sultan's imperial circus
and in addition to the women there are
twenty-nine men and children. These six
women are the only genuine Moorish and
ARABIAN women, without any exception
whatever, ever brought to America. In
the company are two tribes of the direct
descendants of the ancient Assyrans, the
Kybales and the Assiaons. These people,
while Mohammedans, retain very many of
the ceremonials and superstitions of the
ancient Assyrian religion. The Assaons
still hold in great veneration the dove; in
tiict upon themselves terrible personal in
juries, thinking thereby to appease divine
WRATH offer up sacrifices of living animals,
and eat lizards, scorpions and other reptiles
in honor of the god of serpents. These prac-
uces show them to be the decaying descend
ants and remnants of a race that once ruled
the world. Notwithstanding their religious
ideas, however, they are all skilled and dar-
ing performers, and their feats are of a char
acter entirely new to this country. The en-
tire company will be seen following their
pursuits, both peaceful, domestic and war
like. They bring with them their own
tents, tfapplngs, costumes, implements of
household use and of manufacture. Thew
will be seen at their looms weaving, maxi
ing jewelry, ornaments, clothing and every
thing they use in the same manner in which
such articles were made nearly thirty CEN
turtles ago. AS the people are brought to
America by special permission Of the sultan
and the protectorate government of France,
with view to their becoming part of the
Moorish exhibit at the Columbia Worlds
Fair in 1893 this may be the only oppor-
tunity which you will have to see them
and 1t certainly should not be missed. The
Adam Forepaugh Shows will exhibit in
Montpelier on Friday, July 20.

WHY So NInnY InfantS dc.

There is no means of knowing Just what
proportion of deaths among children in
summer are due TO neglect upon the part
Of mothers. But beyond doubt it is very
large indeed. When baby il taken with
diarrhea, if it Is not serious ut first. the
average mother either assumes that it is
due 30 tecthiug or some other cause equally
remote from the right one. More than
likely she considers the complaint salu-
tary 1t j. therefore neglected until it has
become severe and occasioned alarm. and
by that time it has often gone beyond the
point where = cure : possible
Little children, even in hot weather,
sometimes have attacks Of diarrhea which
are innocent and do not threaten life but
no mother can tell whether the same are
harmless or not. 1t is therefore the duty
Of all when their young children are taken
down with this complaint to send mt once
for a physician. Mere pocket economy
should weigh nothing in sickness. and least
of all when tie victims are very young.
Here in america one-fourth of all the
children die before tie end of the fifth year
is reached: ANA of all who die under five
years of age more than thrce-fifths are less
than one year old. There are number of
obvious reasons for this appalling mortal
ity. Ignorance and the assumption of the
responsibility of caring for the little one
when i'll are the prime factors. Educate
mothers SO that they can give their chill
dren better care when we'll and convince
them that Il physicians advice IS always
