DR. Vernon Lyman Kellogg, head of the

panied DIR Jordan on his summer trip
to Samoa. has returned to the univer-
sity, bringing with him many speci-
mems Of sea and island life to be add

moa, however, from a practical point
of view, was his investigation of the
fallaria. a worm like animal living on
mosquitoes and producing In human
kind the dread skin disease. elephant
tasis. Almost half the native popula-
tion Of Samoa is afflicted with this dis
ease and at the. suggestion of Captain
Sebree, q. s. NJ, governor of the Amer

plan looking to the removal of the
scourge by preventing the use Of in
fected water, etc, by the natives.

CUT THE M|LKMAN
Baldwin Street Dealer Attacked
in Mysterious Manner.
RECEIVED SEVERAL WOUNDS.

One OF the Cuts Extended From thd
Mans Elbow to His Wrist-It Was
Necessary to Take Fourteen Stitches
to Close the Wound-The Assallant
Escaped-Police on the Hunt for
Him.
X. +. eastman, milk dealer, resld-
ing at 1887 Baldwin street, was ass
saulted on East Liberty street about Il
O'Clock this morning, by an unknowR
man, and narrowly escaped fatal in-
Jurles. Accompanied by q small boy
who assists in the delivery, Mr. CASH
man was serving customers on Liberty
street, near River street, when he NOS
tlced man approaching him with one
hand placed upon his breast The
milkman spoke to the stranger chcer~
fully and the next thing he knew tha
stranger sprang at him and dealt hiru
a vicious cash in the shoulder, cutting
him badly. The two men then clinched
and the milkman promptly knocked bis
assailant down. The stranger jumped
to his feet quickly and made another
lunge at eastman. The latter ralscd
his arm to ward off 4 blow aimed att
him and in so doing he received cut
extending almost the entire length oG
the forearm. ct this juncture the
youngster, who up to that time was
engaged In serving customers, appeared
on the scene, and eastman and the
boy succeeded in getting into the team
and out Of the way with their lives.
eastman hurried to the Office Of Dr
Donahue, where his injuries were
dressed. The wound in the shoulder
was the most painful, and there was
evidently internal bleeding of some ma
ture. DR. Donahue found 1t necessary
to take fourteen stitches to close this
cash in the left arm.
Mr. eastman is an honest. iDoffen-
sive fellow, and Is well liked by all who
know him. The assault was wholly un-
provoked and it is hoped that the POI
lice will be able to run down the would
be murderer and bring him into the
courts. The place was dark at the time
and the victim is not able to give n
definite description Of his. assailant.
He appeared to be short. stout man.
Whoever he was it Is certain that he
meant murder, and If eastman had not
thrown his arm out on time 1t Is likely
that the weapon would have entered
his heart instead of the arm and killed
him instantly.

THE BIG FUTURITY FOR 1902.
Thirty-one Horses to Start for $685.
900 Purse.

Il
New York. Aug 3O.-With the largest
field on record, thirty-one horses card
ed to start, with the second largest
stake ever hung up for the race, $780,
900, to be divided, and with the most
prosperous year in the annals of the
American turf behind 1t, the Futurity
of 1902, to be run to-day, was expected
to draw one of the largest crowds ever
gathered at a metropolitan race track.
The weather early in the day was all
that could be wished for, the sun shin

blowing from the sea.
The Futurity this year already has
established one precedent, and in these
record breaking days 1t is impossible
to say how many more new features
to this famous stake will be turf his,
tory before the sun gets again. Up to
the present date twenty three was the
greatest number of starters in the
event. In 1889, when the stake was
won by Chaos, and in 1893, when Mar
timas proved successful, twentysShree
horses were dispatched on their our

number than ever are sure to make
their bid for the great stake.

The rivalry between the Keene and

SOLDIERS IN REAL EARNEST
Shouldered Guns and Marched
to Tap of Drum To-Day.

Massachusetts Troops Made Good Im-
preston on Their arrival at Newport
Artillery Was Sent on Tugs to
Guard Entrance to NarragansGtt
Bay-Gunboats Left Harbor on
Arrival of Artillery.
Newport, r. L, Aug 30.-With the
drums of the First Massachusetts
heavy artillery beating and the trum-
pets of the old Bay State naval militia
sounding 1t was possible to-day to
ina CINE that something in the nature
of real war had been declared against
the United States and that this part
of the coast line was threaened by q
hostile fleet. But it required still
greater stretch of Imagination to be-
lieve that half Of the arriving troops
clad in the blue of their country and
their country's flag flying over them,
were on their way to join the enemies
of America.
Still the arriving soldiers and sail
ors put just as much enthusiasm into
the work of getting to their posts as
if the situation was the grayest that
the country had ever faced.
The forts in this vicinity are now
practically on war footing and the
men behind the guns, mortarS, search
lights and at the various signal sta
tions are to-day ready for war, imagi-
nary though it may be, every one
strong in the belief that the practice
will make the country safer when a
real contest arrives, If it ever should
come.
The principal event in this city was
the arrival of the Massachusetts
troops. The heavy artillery came
first, followed by the so-called web
footed" or naval contingent, and for
several hours the great train sheds at
Long Wharf hummed hsze a beehive
The companies brought very little bag
gage and no commissary department
whatever, for they will be the guests
of Uncle Sam during the next seven
days.
The artillery on reaching here was
at once split up into companies and
sent by tugs to the three forts at the
entrance of Nara gansett bay The
naval militia found the gunboats May
flower and Scorpion outside Goat Is
land waiting for them and it was but
the work of an hour or two before the
entire contingent was a11oat. The
gunboats left the harbor as soon as
the naval militia was on board and
their long trail of thick black smoke
was the last that the defense expected
to see of any of Admiral Higginson's
feet until feint or an attack shall be
made some time next week.

WAR AGAINST MILK TICKETS.
Board of Health to Ask Council to Pass
an Ordinance.

Board of Health to Ask Council to Pass
an Ordinance.
Bridgeport, Aug 30.-It is the opinion
of the board of health that some re-
strictions ought to be placed on the in
discriminate use of milk tickets, as Is
SO commonly practfced by milkmen in
selling the same tickets over and over
again. The board believes such re-
peated use of tickets distributes the
germs of disease, and will try to have
the practice stopped in Bridgeport. The
matter came up before the board Of
health last night in the form of reso-
luton offered by DR. Blank, which read
as follows:
mo person or corporation shall issue,
use or distribute within the city of
Bridgeport any milk tickets or coupons
which have been once before issued.
used or distributed, to take effect after
thirty days notice, and subject to q
fine of So"
It was voted to recommend to the
common council the adoption of an or
dinance embodying the above sugges-
tions, to regulate the sale of milk in the
city.
1t was stated that the expense will
not be heavy on milkmen to have cou-
pom tickets printed. They can be
bought, it was said, for $3.50 per thou
sand. and when the coupons are torn
of in payment for milk, they are to be
at once destroyed, so they never can be
used again.
Tt was stated. that in many cases
milkmen are circulating tickets
throughout the city among their GUS
toners that have been used so long it
was impossible from their present form
to tell their original color or shape, and
as these have been circulated from
house to house. they were liable to
have at some time been in houses
where there was contagious diseases.
and the tickets might be loaded with
diesase germs, which would thus be
conveyed indiscriminately FROM family
to family.

Only Fifteen Corps In Attendance Af
Yesterdays Convention.
The annual convention of the Con4
necticut fife and drum corps was held
in Middletown yesterday but was not
SO great a success as the management
of the affair expected. Only fifteen
drum corps were present or late
years interest in these conventions APP
pears to be dying out. Drum corps
throughout the state are showing
lack of interest In the convention for
some reason or other and consequently
the old time enthusiasm is lacking.
Jealousy and dissatisfaction with the
decisions of the judges are said to be
prime factors in this lack OF interest
and in the non-attendance of drum
corps. There are six or seven drum
corps In this city and not one attend-
ed the convention yesterday. That
shows the condition OF affairs. 1t ia
said that next year efforts viii be
made to revive the interest in The
state convention tamong the drum
corps throughout the state and there
is a possibility that the public OF Wa
terbury will see a big convention of
drum corps In this city about this time
next year. The Hellmann Advance

corps will be fifteen years old next
year and 1t intends to celebrate the
anniversary in grand style 1T In pros
posed to have this city. selected as the
place for holding the next annual
state convention and to have it in con-
nection with the fifteenth anniversary
of that corps. 1t is also proposed to-
do away with the prize contests which
have caused so much bitter feeling
among various curps, and to make the
occasion one of general reunion and
great jollifcation.

endured patiently. We have petitioned
humbly. We had hoped for much upon
j. 2. Morgan's return. But now, after
a struggle of four months duration, a
period of suffering and progressive
business paralysis, when it seemed to
us that the time was propitious for a
settlement of some kind, if not as a
matter of concession to public opinion.
vet as plain business proposition, Mr.
Morgan has met with his henchmen
and the edict has gone forth: There
will be no settlement, no arbitration,
no Cancellation, no mediation, no con-
cessions. The. fight must go on

said the purpose of the organization
was to cooperate with the authorities
in enforcing the speed limit law, not
only as affecting automobiles, but also
the reckless driving Of fast horses
Queens and SuffoId counties, he said,
had spent $11,000,O00 on roads, and
they had been made useless for pleas
ure driving by reason of reckless chauf
feurs and men who like to speed fast
horses. Tt was the purpose to stop
these practices In the interest Of men
and women who like to drive, but who
have been forced to take to the side
