The Connecticut state board of health
has issued it's monthly bulletin for June.
BY mortality reports received, there
were 1,O4S deaths reported during the
month of June. This was 90 less than
reported in May, and 81 more than in
June of last year, and As more than the
average number Of deaths in June for
the five years preceding the present.
The death rate was 1879 for the large
towns; for the small towns, 1876, and for
the whole state 1873. The deaths from
zymotic diseases were 161, being 159 per
cent of the total mortality.

ton of $4,000, reported 43 deaths. repre-
senting an annual death rate of 1913 per

Union. A better attention to these de-
tails, prompted by an interest which
every physician ought to feel in the sub
ject, will make our vital statistics still
more superior to other states. Esti-
mates of population for the year 1899
have been received from almost all the
towns in the state by their respective
town clerks, and appear in the bulletin.
They represent an increase in the state

EVOLUTION OF WALLPAPER

When and Where 1t Was First Used
Modern Methods of Design and Man
ufacture
While various kinds of printed fabrics
We're known to the people of most re-
mote antiquity, it was not till the eigh-
teenth century that wallpaper in any
thlhg ike its present form came into
common use in Europe, though it APP
pears to have been used much earlier in
, China. A few rare examples which
may be as early as the sixteenth CEN
fury exist in England, but these are i'm
ltations, generally in flock" of the old
Florentine and Genoese cut velvets,
and hence the style of the design in no
way shows the date of the wallpaper,
the same traditional patterns being re-
produced with little or no change for
many years. 1t was not till the end of
the last century that the machinery to
make paper in long strips was invented.
Up to that time wallpapers We're printed
on small square pieces of handmade
paper and We're very expensive. On
this account wallpaper was slow in
superseding the older mural decorations,
such as tapestry, stamped leather and
paper cloth.
A work printed in London in 1744
throws some light on the use of wall
papers at that time: 1.-THE method Of
printing wallpapers of the better sort
is probably the same now that it has
ever been Wooden blocks with the de-

If the pattern is required to stand out

rolled to compress the flock. Cheaper
sorts of paper are printed by machinery,
the design being cut on the surface of

LISTENING TO THE BAND.

Rehearsals of Second Regiment Band
Enjoyed by Many
Although it looks Just at present as
though New Haven Is not going to
"listen to the band" very much this
summer. there are quite few music
lovers who think otherwise, having in
fact, enjoyed several impromptu but
nevertheless highly enjoyable concerts
already. A chance passer-by in the
neighborhood Of the armory last even
ing would have been surprised to have
seen the number of people sitting about
on steps and curbs and thronging the
sidewalks, And all enjoyed the spirited
strains of music which floated OUT from
one Of the upper windows of the arm
Dry.
1t is not every night that the Second
regiment band has a rehearsal and
those they do have are at Irregular in
tervals; but there are always a certain
number of people who seem to make it
point to be on hand to enjoy the mu-
sic. Little tots, hand in hand, trip the
light fantastic on the sidewalks, while
their parents stand around in perfect
contentment And the music, too, while
probably not as finished as that given
in public is every bit as spirited and
there Is certainly more of it.

Judge Mcmahon of Derby presided in
the New Haven probate court yesterday
to consider the inventory on the estate
of the late Jacob H. -Augur of Fair Ha-
ven. The widow, Marie E. Augur, who
is executrix, filed an inventory, giving
the value of the estate as 100000, and
this was objected to by Attorney Jason
+. Thompson, acting for heirs, other
! than the widow
| Attorney Thomson said the estate was
worth much more than the sum return
ed In the inventory. He said there were
bonds, jewelry and horses not returned
in the appraisal.
Mrs. Augur took the witness stand
and testified that the inventory of the
estate as filed was to her best knowledge
and belief true valuation of the whole
estate. She said she knew nothing
about the bonds, jewelry and horses re-
1erred to by Attorney Thomson.
Judge Thomson accepted the inven-
tory and then Attorney Thomson asked
for an increase in the amount of the
bond given by the executrix. She had
formerly given bond of $50, 900. Law
yers Zacher and Moyle, counsel for Mrs.
Augur, insisted that the original bond
was ample, but the court ordered that
an additional $4,000 be furnished with
in fifteen days.
The litigation over the Augur estate
is considerably complex and a new feat
ure to add to its compleXity was intro
duced in court by ex-Judge Deming
counsel for Ella Barrett of Baltimore
She was the first wife of Jacob H. Au-
CUR, they having married in 1870. Three
years afterward he filed a petition of /
divorce against her and she filed a cross
complaint. After trial the court de- !
creed that her reasons for the divorce
were true and granted her the decree. |
Now it is claimed that under the stat |
utes of this state the former wife is en-
titled to dover because she obtained no |
alimony from him at the time she was
granted a divorce. 1t Is claimed that
the Baltimore woman Is entitled to a
life's use of third of her former hus-
bands estate.
The main contention in regard to the
Augur estate will be fought out in the
probate court, where a contest of Jacob
II. Augur's will has been entered on an
appeal from the probate court. 1t is
claimed by those opposing the widow
that the estate disposed of in the will
Of Jacob II. Augur was not his; that 1t
was the unsettled estate of his father,
Jacob p Augur, who died in the seven
ties.
