But 1t Goes to All the Trouble That
Accompanies Growing.
Now that warm weather is at hand
and windows are open in the early
morning, many complaints are being
received by the police about the crow
ing and cackling of chickens kept by
persons in the residence portion of the
city, says the Washington correspond
ent of the Baltimore Sun.T police
regulations prohibit the keeping of
such fowls when they are an annoy
ance, and a fine on the owner may be
imposed. Inquiry at police headquar-
tiers to-day elected the information
that such complaints should be sup
ported by the testimony of two wit
nesses from different houses to show
that the noise is a nuisance In this
connection a story was told of a man
in the northwestern section who had a
rooster whose Growing qualities were
of the best and whose voice could be
heard all over the neighborhood. FL
nally his neighbors could endure the
noise no longer and they hauled the
owner of the rooster into court Here
he promised the bird should trouble
them no more, and on that promise
was released. The next morning the
neighbors saw the rooster in the yard
and held an indignation meeting.
Calling on the owner, they wanted to
know why he had not kept his prom
ise. He asked them if the bird was
annoying any one 1t had not yet, but
they thought it might He thereup0n
pointed to the rooster. which was nap

the motions accompanying Growing,
but without a sound issuing from his
throat, and informed them that he had
taken 1t to a veterinarian. who had re-

Prayer for Success.
o men of Wall street and of an

enterprises, join that great company
of Christian men who are maintaining
their integrity, Notwithstanding all the
pressure of temptation. In the morn
ing. when you open business in the
brokers' Office or in the banking house,
ask Gods blessing, and when you close
it pronounce benediction upon it. A
kind of business that men cannot en-
gage in without prayer is no business
for you. l wish that the words of

could be uttered in the hearing of all
young men throughout the land. He

this problem and not entirely without
results" The variations in the rela-
tive birth rates indicate that there are
hidden principles that govern them.
Just now one of the men working on
the clues he has found promulgates the
theory that hard condiIlons of life with
meager food and care tends to a pro-
duction of males, while an abundance
of food and good surroundings and
gentleness increase the number of fe-
males over the males. He claims to
be proving this by keeping part of his
fowls under hard conditions, and car
ing for and feeding the other birds In
the best possible manner.

Dairy Items.

"The higher the temperature of the
cream at churning the poorer the quail
ity of butter" is >oming to be an ac-
cepted principle Of butter making. 1t Is
therefore of no use for a man to use
a churn that can churn only at high
temperatures, like some of the whiri-
wind and cyclone churns now being
so extensively advertised Low tenn
peratures for churning are the only
ones that should be recognized.
At the Ontario Experiment Station
butter churned into granules like
clover seed contained an average OF
Ills per cent of moisture; perfect
granular butter contained lila per
cent; large granular butter contained
1886 per cent, and butter churned into
grains like corn had an average OF
11-57 per cent of moisture. This should
set at rest the claim of some that the
amount of water In butter Is naturally
from Is to 20 per cent, as seems to be
the claim In some Oh the English and
Irish courts.

Certifcated Diaries.

Certificated dairies are among the lat
est developments of municipal life, says
London Dairy" The town council of
Plymouth leads the way. at the in
stance of Mr.. J. A. Bellamy, who in
duced the council to pass the following
resolution by thirty-four votes to fif-
teen: ssThat the medical officer of
health be authorized to issue annual
certificates to those dairy farmers
both within and without the borders
Of the borough, who, being suppIiers
of milk, cream or butter to the inhab-
itants of Plymouth, express themselves
willing to permit the inspection of
-neir farms by the medical officer of
health whenever he shall think fit
That such certificates be granted only
to such dairy farmers whose dairies,
cowsheds, premises, and farms gener-
ally are in thoroughly sanitary con-
dition. and whose milk carts, cans, and
all other plant appertaining to their
business shall satisfy the requirements
of the medical officer of health. That
a list of dairy farmers to whom GER
tificates shall have been granted be
advertised for the information of the
Plymouth public every three months,
ana that all other details as to the
Carrying of this scheme into effect be
left to the sanitary committee"
An outbreak of typhoid fever in the
town gave rise to Mr.. Bellamy's idea,
and if 1t has the effect of preventing
similar calamity no one will have
right to complain. Yet it Is not at all
clear that the power to issue certf-
fcates will relieve the town OF all
possible taint of Infection, and we are
disposed to question the wisdom OF
sending a medical officer of health
hither and thither. when a large
towns supply of milk is necessarily
drawn from a wide circle both within
and without his Jurisdiction The
power to issue implies a power to
withdraw a certificate, but there Is, we
imagine, no intention to prohibit the
sale of milk from uncertifcated dairies,
or those whose certificates have been
cancelled Voluntary measures Of this
kind may possibly contribute to the
purity Of the milk supply. but we con-
fess not to view the proposal with
much hopefulness.

Poultry Briefs.

One poultry raiser says that while
the care of chicks and the feeding have
much to do with the mortality, yet in
his mind the greatest cause of mortal
ity Is lack of stamina in the breeding
stock. He certainly has hold of a
truth, but his statement of it must be
modified to be generally accepted.
Given ordinary care and full protec-
tion from lice and animals of prey his
statement is near the trutn But, with
the protection absent, there is no room
for comparison. The writer of this

FURNESSIA DELAYED.

The Anchor Line steamship Furnes- sia from Glasgow, which has many New Haven people aboard who have been spending the summer in Scotland and other parts of Europe and which was due to arrive at New York Sunday morning, will not reach that port until some time during to-day. The delay to the Furnessa is occasloned by her coming upon a disabled steamer in mid-ocean which requested Captain Young, the Furnessias commander to tow them into St. Johns, which the latter did. The following are the names of those whose destination is down on the steamers passenger list as bound for New Haven: Mrs. Duncan Urqu hart, Miss Georgeana Urquhart Mrs. Charles Henderson, Miss Jean Tender son, Miss Margaret Henderson, Miss Elsie Taylor. Miss Jeannie Somerville, Miss Martha Bertie, Miss Annie Der tie, Mrs. Lee Klrton, Miss Lizzie Kir ton, Miss Mary J. Rogan, Mrs. Charles Pullar, Mrs. Lizzie Pullar, Robert Jef- frey, William Bertie.

Won by Hugh Doherty, of This City, al

 Among the exhibits of poultry at the Branford fair, which closed Saturday was particularly fine exhibit by Hugh Doherty, of No. 1S3 Davenport avenue MT. Doherty secured thirteen prizes, five first prizes, four second and four concentrations.

 treme GA and lost 5as net. This com
 prised most of the stock market for the
 day. There was some early resistance
 among a few railroad stocks, but it
 was abandoned in the face of the per 1 sistent and heavy liquidation in Amal-
 gamated Copper and the whole market
 turned weak
 The net losses ran between one to over two points in quite an extended 1 list of important stocks. Such Vio-
 lent decline as that of Amalgamated 1 Copper is bound to affect the stock market by sympathy, whatever the conditions elsewhere. Although high 1 ly msnipulative speciality, the stock has been more favorably regarded than some other industrials by reason of the influential character of the control of the company. The reduction in the
 dividend and the collapse in the price
 have led to flying rumors of shortcom- ings in management and finances. The effect was to engender distrust of all
 the industrials and their blind pool methods. Also, the reduction of the
 Amalgamated dividend, following upon the conservative refusal by partly iden-
 tical interests to advance the St. Paul
 dividend, was taken as an indication of the indisposition of Standard Oil cap italists to stimulate a rise in prices. As the fact has been obvious that insiders | l. ttAe and the Gould properties, Southern Railway, Erie and Manhattan contin- Llng an advance even this morning, speculators were inclined to draw an inference of renewed discord among the great financial powers whose quarrel precipitated the Northern Pacific cor ner.
 In addition the government fiscal op- erations are not expected to yield such resources to the money market as was the case last week, while the heavy movement of currency to the interior continues Another day of reverses to the British arms in South Africa seem ed to bring home to the London market that they must face another govern ment loan at, an early period to meet the protracted war expenditures there.

Infant life in every large community is in danger from the most dangerous adulterations of its food supply.
 The adulteration of milk is almost beyond discovery-except to the chemist. One of the most dangerous of all adulterants is Fornlaldehyde, known to the trade in some instances as Preservaline, and by like names. The President of the Connecticut Board of Health traces So per cent. of infant deaths in summer to this drug used by milk dealers to keep milk sweet" during warm weather.
 The utmost vigilance and care of the health officers, followed by the severe penalties inflicted by the courts, have not had SO deterrent effect on interruptions dealers as might be ex- pected. The prospect of total loss of stock is too strong temptation to most dealers, and they will brave the law rather than go out of business even day.
 The only positive protection is to avoid the use of milk sold by measure or handled ill bulk.
 This means the use of condensed milk.
 There is condensed milk prepared in Michigan that is especially valuable as a complete food. It is reduction of the milk of c1over-fed COWS, and is canned immediately it is taken from the COWS, before any changeis effected bylthe atmosphere. It is very rich iii butter fats and milk sugar, but it's chief food value lies in a skillful blending of the phosphates and hypo- rhosphites found in wheat with the milk itself.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY IN CONDENSED MILK.

wheat is the invention of Dr. D. B. Hand, noted specialist in the prac- tice of children's diseases, resident at Scranton, Pa.
 This milk has been marketed as Dr. Hands Phosphated Condensed Milk, and is sold by dealers generally. It is the only prepared food that will build Up puny, sickly child to state ofrobust health. Thisresult is effected through the added phosphates and hypophosphites--phosphates of lime and soda, for teeth and bones; hypo- phosphites of potassium for nerves and brain, hypophosphites of manga nese for the blood.
 These elements likewise give Dr. Hands Condensed Milk the greatest food value for general use. It has the rich flavor of cream and milk mixed in equal quantities and as a table drink is de1ightful-especially valu- able for invalids or aging people. .
 The experience of mothers ill every part of the country is reflected Ill the following testimonial:
 "My baby WAS sick and in very bad condition when sample of your milk was given me. He could not retain anything in the stomach and every kind of food tried he would soon throw up; but when began using pr.

INJURED ON BLAKE STREET.

Ernest Chairman, Driver for c. w..
 Blakeslee & Sons.
 Yesterday afternoon about 4S0 Ern- est Chairman of No. 217 Goffe street. a driver for c. w. Blakeslee & Sons, the contractors, was quite badly injured while driving team attached to a load of crushed stone on Blake street. The horses started suddenly, throwing him from the load. He fell in front of one of the forward wheels, which passed over him. The reins had become tan gled about his neck and feet and after the front wheel passed over him he was dragged along by the reins so that the rear wheel did not strike him.
 He yelled and was heard by three men who happened to be near by and who ran to his assistance. One of the
 men was Clarence Hastings of West vile and the other two were Joseph Frey and William Render, who are en- ployed in the Park house near by These men arrived just as the reins had given away a little and as one of the rear wheels was about to pass over Chairman. They pulled him from in front of the wheels and carried him into the hotel. If. Marsh of Westville was summoned to attend him. Dr. Marsh found that the right side was badly crushed, that three ribs were broken, and that the lungs .had probably been punctured. The injured man was re- moved to Grace hospital, where he was getting along nicely last night.
 Rev. Father Kennedy of Highwood happened to drive by as the injured man was being taken from under the wagon and rendered what assistance he could as did also Mounted Policeman Keenan.
 Father Kennedy learning where Chairman lived drove to the house to notify Mrs. Chairman. He found that there were in the family five children and that the family was in very poor He learned that MT. Chairman had been out of work long time until recently and that the family had been warned to leave the house where they are now living Thursday of this week. Father Kennedy gave her some money and informed Superintend- ent Preston of the Organized Charities of the family's condition and MT. Pres ton will look into the case. These cir | were related by a person | who happened to be present when Fa- her Kennedy called to inform Mrs | Chairman of her husbands misfortune.

 Chicago, Sept. 23.-The nine anarch- ists who have been under arrest here since the assassination of President Mckinley were to-day given their free dom, Judge Chetlain so ordering after the prosecution had admitted that there was no legal evidence against them. Emma Goldman was not a party to the proceedings. Her case is set for a hearing tomorrow before Magistrate Prindiville, where she. as well as the nine men freed to-day, are charged with conspiracy to murder President Me- Kinley.
 The case in the lower court with ref erence to the men is, of course, nullifled by the action of Judge Chetalin to-day. Miss Goldman will also be set at liber- ty, as Justice Prindiyille has agreed to take such action in her case as the up- per court took in the case of the men. Attorney Brown said he would try to have Miss Goldman freed to-day.
