STORRS TO HAVE EXHIBIT AT
 PARIS

Washington, March 1.-The agricul- tural colleges and experimental stations of the country have contributed to an exhibit of materials, charts, and mod els of apparatus for the Paris exposi- tion. The collection is now complete, and is expected to be one of the most interesting of it's class at the French fair.
 Especially complete is the dairy ex- hibit in which Connecticut has an im- portant part through the contribution of forty-eight cultures of dairy bacteria from the branch experiment station at Storrs. It will be recalled that several years ago the college faculty and ex- pertinent station professors at Storrs worked out and reported to the state and department a series of experiments on the various kinds of bacteria which give life and flavor to butter and cheese. The best speciments of this work have been added to the exhibit for Paris. The exhibit also includes a model of the Atwater Rosa respiration calorimeter.

aid at SprlngSlde Home. Miss Pauline Fitzgerald, the nineteen year old girl who was taken to Spring. side home apparently in trance Sat urday, was somewhat improved last night. pr. James H. Flynn, who is at tending the patient, said last night that the girl was in a cataleptic trance the result of fit, which overcame her some time ago. pr. Flynn said she, was able to take medicine yesterday and to converse little, though her speech is hardly audible, as it is in a low whisper.
 Miss Fitzgerald was taken to Spring side from the hospital, where she had been since January il. She told the doctor yesterday that two or three years ago she was taken with the same symptoms, but that they did not seem to be so marked.
 Dr. Flynn said that Miss FitZgerald's case was not a critical one. and that as long as she was able to take medi- cine the chances for her recovery were good, though how long she would be in the trance he was unable to state. The girl has relatives residing on Day street, and they, as we'll as the doctor, are unable to clearly account for her present condition.

POLICE STOPPED A COCK FIGHT.
Sports Rounded Up in West Haven
 Early Yesterday Morning.

Sports Rounded Up in West Haver
 Early Yesterday Morning.
 The keepers of the peace in West
 Haven made one of the most success
 ful raids in their history early yester-
 day morning when they swooped down
 upon a cooking main going on in full
 swing in the place kept by William | O'Keefe on Thomas street. The place is known as the West Haven house and
 has been watched for some time past | by the West Haven authorities. The
 warrant was made out by Attorney C..
 K. Bush Officers Fenwick, C. w.. French, R. W. French and Special Con- stables Kelly, Niesson, Scranton, Frye and Bescher made the raid and brought back with them twenty-eight live game cocks one dead one and sixteen men, including Proprietor O'Keefe. The names of the men besides Proprietor O'Keefe were P. T. Lenham, John Col lins, Patrick Qui1fe, F. Brennan, Jacob Dunn, A. F. Bailey, Frank Jones, F. Kelley, William Adams, Samuel McAl- len, Frank Morhan, James Mascott, Joseph Kelly T. Fay and Philip Jordan. All these men were taken to the West Haven lookup and all but six were re- leased on bonds They will come before Judge Bryant this morning for trial.
 The mains were running full blast when the officers reached there, about 2:SO o'clock, and the proprietor and spectators were caught unawares. Off, cers, French and Fenwick entered the place first and found the main in the large dance hall on the second floor of the house As soon as the men realized that officers of the law were among them they turned the lights out and all made for the windows and doors. There were about 200 in the room and in less time than it takes to tell it they were out on the ground and making for sa- clusion in the woods near by. Shortly after the three officers entered the spe- cial constables made their appearance and then a grand fight took place | Chairs, tables and lamps were flying 1 the air and two men stood on a table, each keeping the officers at bay with chairs. Some of the men in | the room were seriously hurt by being clubbed by the officers and others were injured by falling in their attempts to escape from the second story windows. A special car which was to have taken | the spectators back to this city was ID instead Three bouts had been pulled off and the fourth was in progress when the officers made their appearance.

TWO LOUD REPORTS.

Residents of East Chapel Street Startled by Two Mysterious Explo-
 sions
 Two loud reports, as of an explosion, which followed each other at an inter- val of half hour, startled the resi- dents of Chapel street in the vicinity of Wooster square, about 9 o'clock Fri day evening. The reports, which were particularly clear and sharp, were loud enough to rattle the windows, and the noise brought many toltheir doorsteps. No explanation of the disturbance has been found and those who heard them are at loss to explain the matter. It is said that they did not sound loud enough for torpedoes, which are some times placed on the railroad tracks by mischievous persons. There is never theless a suspicion in the minds of many that it was the act of some prac- tical joker, and with these the senti ment is strong against the perpetrator.

 Divorce is an iniquity that respectable society and the church must loudly protest against. There is little differ ence between the Mormon with his simultaneous wives and some divorced people with their successive ones.
