Mrs. Mary Fl. Hunt, of Boston, one
OF the best known and most able tenn
perance workers in the United States,
delivered two practical talks on the
temperance question at yesterdays ses-
sions of the county teachers institute
and was listened to with great interest
by not only the teachers but by a large
all parts of the city.
In her morning talk Mrs. Hunt, who
is intensely practical in everything that
she says and does and who Is essential
ly woman of original ideas, she re-
ferred to the laws adopted by nearly
instruction on the bad effects of alco-
hol on the human body in the public
schools. These laws are good things
she declared, but in order that they
may be effective it is essential that
the work of the teachers be done in a
rational, intelligent manner.
In the afternoon she was scheduled
to talk on How Much Physiology and
Hygiene Shall We Teach in the Primary
Schools" but she wandered far from
her subject and talked on her hobby,
the temperance question. She referred
to the words of the old prophet. Micah.
who said my people are destitute for
lack of knowledge" and then referred
to the words Immediately following,
Woe to him who turneth away from
knowledge"

Education the Cure.

She said that education is the only
thing which will eventually wipe out
the curse of ntemperance and eX-
pressed her satisfaction at the fact
that the great body of teachers in
this country are not turning away from
knowledge of its evils.
The tenth census shows an increase
in the average length of life of the
people of the United States of four
and seven-tenths years in decade.
This can be directly traced, Mrs. Hunt
said, to an increased knowledge of SAN
itary laws which has come about be-
cause of the teaching of these matters
in the lower grades in the public
schools
"Uness we begin with the primary
Children said she, "our work will be
work of reform instead of work Of
formation
She told of the great flood of immi-
grafton which is pouring into this coun-
try every year bearing with it the
drink habit and an ignorance of hy-
gienic laws. The children of these
people do not stay in the public schools
except for very few years and unless
they are reached in the primary grades
they can never be reached at all, she
said.
Superintendent Jones continued his
instructive lectures yesterday speaking
in the morning on the principles which
should underlie modern history study.
In the afternoon he gave the first of

RIGHT AT HOME.
The Milkmen Said to Be Going
 to Form a Trust.
ON LINES OF THE ICE TRUST

Dealers Will Endeavor to Have Only
 One Team Go Into Street-Some of
 the Dealers Say They Will Have
 Nothing to Do With the Schemes
 Trusts and combines are all the rage
 these days and if they keep growing
 in popularity a man will stand no show
 who tries to conduct business on his
 own hook. A Democrat reporter was
 informed to-day that the next great
 combine which we shall witness in Wa
 terbury will be among the milkmen,
 some of whom think that by getting
 together they could keep down ex-
 penses in the cost of men and teams and give better general satisfaction. They are much in the same box as the icemen. Teams belonging to different dealers visit the same streets and 1t lS not uncommon to see two or three ped- dlers at the same house. While none of Us wants to fall out with the milk men, still it is "a notorious fact that they cause considerable annoyance to people in all parts of the town, so much so that there are times when parties who have been disturbed wish that there was not milkman within hun- dred miles of his house. even though
 he had to get along without the article during the rest of his life. Two or three prominent dealers were asked
 about the proposed corner on milk, but each said that he had heard nothing about it. One of them said that as
 many of them as cared to could com bine their stocks, but that he should have nothing to do with them. He was making success of the business
 under his own management and intend- ed to pursue the business along the old lines regardless of the alleged benefits of organization. But the combine is being talked of and while it may not
 come right away it is certain to be eff fected some day, and when such a con- dition exists propably people will not be quite so ready to rail at the milk peddler as they are to-day. If fam-
 fly offends one of tlym all will remain
 away and then the manufacturers of
 condensed milk will have their inning.

FIGHTERS FALL INTO GRAVE.
Nagging Led to Stubborn Combat in
 j New Jersey Cemetery.

Nagging Led to Stubborn Combat in
 New Jersey Cemetery.
 New York, May 2S.-While fighting and struggling over graves in the Grove church cemetery, New Durham, Albert Joeneay of East New Durham, q gravedigger, and John Lahey of New Durham, caretaker of graves, tumbled into an open grave yesterday. They continued their combat in the narrow space until a policeman appeared at the top of the excavation and ordered them to desist and come out. Both were covered with dirt. Joeneay complied readily with the policeman's order, but force had to be used on La hey.
 According to Joeneay, Lahey nagged him until he couldn't stand it any longer and the fight ensued. What the nagging was about was not di- vulged in the subsequent court pro- ceedings.
 Mrs Gowen saw the fight from a window and she sent for Special Offi- cer Meade. He said that Lahey re- sisted arrest so severely that he was forced to use his club. Lahey bore proof that he had been used roughly, and Recorder Pulls, believing that he had been punished sufficiently, dis Charged him. He also permitted the gravedigger to go after giving him reprimand.

BOYCOTT IS ON.
Underwood Co Machine Placed on the
 Unfair List.


 Hartford, May 2S.-The oft repeated threat of the striking employees of the Underwood Typewriting Manufactur- ing Go was carried out last night at o'clock. At that hour the machine made by the company was placed on the unfair list" this being a new name for boycott
 Early in the day members of the state board of mediation and arbitra- tion called at the strike headquarters and had a long conference with the strike committee. The three members of the board, George A. Parsons of Hartford, Franklin T. Ives of Meriden and Gilbert l.. Smith of Sharon, lis tened to all the contentious of the men in favor of their demands. Tn the af- ternoOn the board visited the Under wood factory and talked with Messrs over two hours and after it was ended the board again saw the strikers, but nothing was accomplished
 ". G. CritchloW, national organizer of the metal machinists, gave out the details of the boycott plan last night. He said that the executive board of the strikers was ill session before o'clock. as it did not expect that the board of mediation and arbitration could accom- plish anything. Promptly at o'clock the boycott was declared and within fifteen minutes notice of what had been, done was ill the national headquarters of the union. The metal polishers also send notice to their national headquar- terS of the action taken here

TRADE COMBINATIONS.
John V. Barnes Says They Caused De-
 cline in Business

cline in Business
 New York, May 2S.-John V. Barnes, president of the New York Produce eX- change in his report at the annual meeting of the exchange, claimed the decline in business on the exchange was the result of trade combinations. He said:
 "The port of New York has shared in the general growth of trade and commerce of the country and certain interests of the exchange have been benefited. The net registered tonnage entered and cleared from the port of New York increased more than one million tons last year. Much tonnage was carried, however, at unprofitable rates. There has been considerable increase in the export of wheat from the country and slight increase at this port. Corn exports at New York for the past twelve months show de- crease of thirty-three million bushels as compared with the previous twelve months.
 '"rhe farmer is prOSpering, but the produce merchant as a middleman is steadily being supplanted by large cor poration interests dealing almost en- tirely with the ecawipMc. aRhegATE tirely between the producer and con sumer.
 "A large petroleum trade once con- ducted on our floor has passed in this trade evolution and the four, provis- ion, lard and oil trades are concentrat ing ill a limited number of corporations, which is most noticeable in the export trade of these products Even the grain trade is not free from the same tendency.
 q am convinced the remedy for the continued diversion from this port of the grain trade, as well as general com merce, is an enlarged canal from the lakes to the Hudson river"

DIVORCE CASE AT NEWPORT.
Young Clergyman One of the Princi-
 pals in the Case

1ouhS O1eISA IndH One or the Princi-
 pals in the Case.
 Newport, May 2S.-One of the most sensational divorce cases ever tried in Newport was heard in the sllprema court here yesterday The parties to the action were the Rev and Mrs Charles Hunt Porter, jr, he formerly the pastor of the Charming Memorial Unitarian church of this city.
 The suit was brought by Mrs ~Por- ter, who is the daughter of wealthy parents, residing in Braintree, Mass. MT Porter comes from Hingham. Mass, and as a graduate of Harvard was looked upon as one of the rising young ministers in the denomination. The couple were married in October. 1900, a few months after MT Porter took charge of the church.
 Soon after taking his pulpit Mir Por- ter began to pay marked attention to a certain widow of his flock. The scandal which followed ended in his resignation early this year It was said then that he meant to take up literature and leave the ministry. Soon after his resignation Mrs Porter brought her action for divorce, it then being rumored that the charge was one of cruelty. There, therefore, was somewhat of surprise yesterday when it was known that the real com plaint in court was the more serious one. MT Porter did not contest the case. even not appearing in court; and the testimony was taken by deposition.
 The material witnesses were Jacob E. Badd and Max Badd, private de- tectives in New York. who on April 16 last met him in that city and fol- lowed him and female companion to a house in West Forty-third street, where they occupied a room from to II o'clock that evening. The land lady told of serving them with wine, and a maid in the house also told of seeing the couple in the room. MT Porter had given the name of 'Mr Talbot and wife" while the same day he had registered at the Manhattan hotel under his own name.
 The fact that MT Porter did not con- test the suit prevented the name of the gay widow correspondent from becom- inc public
