conneoticut's Deaths From Consumption
 Over Twenty-one Thousand in Fifteen

Connectlcut's Deaths From Consum ption
 Over Twenty-one Thousand in fifteen
 Years.
 New London. Nov. 2o.-An eighteen page pamphlet which the members of the coming legislature will see is enti- tied "The State Board of Health and Vital Statistics; A Letter to the Cover nor and Legislature of the State of Connecticut by J. Dobson, M. D. F. A. s." J. Dobson. M. D.. Is a New Bri- tain man, and he takes hold of the state board of health and shakes 1t vigorously.
 The doctor prints reviews of the re- ports of the state board for the last fifteen years, giving strong arguments, and figures to back them. and makes a really serious arraignment of the board. He gives the number of deaths from six "zymotic" and the "tubercu- lar" diseases, for the fifteen years the state board of health has been In ope- ration. as follows: Small pox, s7; ma laria, 2,627; scarlatina. 2,692; typhoid, 1875; croup and diphtheria, s.1ss; in- fantile diarrhoea, 10,S7O; tubercular dis eases, phthisis Consumption 21,2S2; other diseases, 3,377; making a grand total of deaths tubercular diseases of 24,65s.
 Tubercular diseases are 2S0 times more fatal than small pox and steadily increasing, yet nothing Is said or done to check it's rarages, but a sensational outcry is periodically made when a case of the least fatal disease occurs. The great plague of tuberculosis, fed and maintained by vaccination, Is a standing reproach to the state board of health, says the doctor.
 This monument Of mortality Is erect ed to commemorate the inefflciency of the state board of health for which there has been appropriated sixty thou sand dollars exclusive of additional and special appropriations. The insu- rance societies of the state are respect fully invited to a consideration of this very large mortality of those diseases, which the state board of health in its last report" regards as "zymotic."

SinIa Aid fn Iihraries.

Eleven Connecticut towns have voted 10 maintain a free library since the legislature Of 1893 passed an act es- tabiishing a public library committee to be appointed by the board of educa- ton and offering towns gift from the state of books equal in value to the amount expended for establishing the library up to two hundred dollars. These towns are Seymour, Wethers- field. sufiield. Putnam. Plainville, East Haddam, Milford. Durham, Union. Newington and Scotland. If every one Of these towns would induce ten others to follow its example this year, there would be few in the state without h- braries. Union is said to have A small- er population than any other town In Connecticut, but it has come bravely forward offered its two hundred dol lars. and promised twenty dollars year In future. The other towns have all voted the same sum for the first year. and from fifty to one thousand dollars annually. Several libraries have already been opened. and are do- ing good work. while others are mak- ing reedy as fast as possible to supply reading for the long winter evenings.
 Massachusetts has in three years es- abolished sixty-two free libraries, and only about forty out of three hundred and fifty-two towns are without them. The New Hampshire public library commission was appointed in February 1892. and the next month eighty-one towns voted 70 accept the hundred dol lars offered by the state. The Vermont legislature has lately passed an act au- thorizing the establishment of libra ry commission and promising hun dred dollars worth of books to every town voting to maintain free library. Miss Louise Bartlett, a member of well-known Hartford family, and libra rian of the St. Jonnsbury Atheneum, has just been appointed a member of the commission by the governor of Vermont.

Opposed to Boys Brigades.

Meriden, Nov. 2O.-Rev Dr. Per kins, In his sermon at St. PauIs church Sunday morning. deprecated the organ- ization of military brigades among the young men of the churches. While he had the highest respect for the patriot, whose services were freely rendered to his country in the hour of peril, he said the teachings of the church are towards peace. and opposed to warfare. The trend of the military training is to- wards military achievement on the battlefield, and the church of Christ cannot fnculcate this spirit in the minds of its children.
