Executive officers Of the Board Of
Healh were instructed by the menu
bors of the Board OF Health al their
regular meeting yesterday afternoon
to be very careful at the funerals on
persons who have died from contag-
ious diseases. They were told to keep
"a close watch on the cabs in which
the people from such houses ride and
to see that they are properly fumi-
gated after the funeral. The cab own
ers are supposed to do this and here
after the executive officers will see
that they perform the work.
Dr. Stubbs asked the secretary TO
communicate with City Council and
learn IL possible what has become Of
the ordinance regulating the sale OF

the most enlightened and most patri-
otto OF the people OF Porto Rico in
educating the citizens Of the island
in the principles OF orderly liberty.
They are providing a government
based upon each citizens self-respect,
and the mutual respect of all citizens;
that is, based upon a rigid observance
Of the principles of justice and hon
esty. IL has not been easy to instil
into the minds of people unaccustom-
ed to the exercise OF freedom, the two
basic principles Of our American sys
tenn: the principle that the majority
must rule, and the principle that the
minority has rights which must not
he disreRarded or trampled upon. Yet
real progress has been made in having
these principles accepted as elemen-
tary, as the foundations Of successful
self government.

Congress when It enacted the law un.

TUCKER BACK IN ASYLUM.
Insane Murderer Who Escaped from
 Middletown Glad He is Back.

Middletown, Oct 12.-No one at the Connecticut Hospital for the h. sane helped William H. Tucker, wife murderer, to make his escape. He himself fashioned the key that un- locked the doors of the institution and nothing but the animal craving for food, which he could have easily satisfied himself at the free lunch counter of any saloon, induced him to give himself up. Stranger than Fuckers escape is the fact that the two doors that stand between the criminal insane at this Middletown institution are locked and unlocked by one key and one that man can easily make out of the handle of a knife or spoon.
 Tucker escaped from the ward for the criminal insane of the Connecti- cut Hospital for the Insane at o'clock Wednesday morning and walked into police headquarters on Mulberry street, New York, about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, twenty eight hours later. and gave himself up. The New York authorities at once notified Superintendent Noble of the hospital and Dr Thomas of the hospital staff and Henry Schwartz. an attendant, left here for New York yesterday at noon. They returned at 11:3O last evening.
 Tucker was wearing the same clothes in which he escaped except that black felt hat had supplanted his derby. He was handcuffed to Schwartz, who said that as the train passed the insane hospital and Tuck CT saw the lights of the hospital shining on the hill, he heaved a sigh of relief and with a wan smile said:
 It's good to get back home"
 Dr Thomas said that Tucker was glad to see him in New York and shook hands heartily when they met. He desired to go back at once and gave absolutely no trouble. He was taken to the institution in a cab.

STATE HEALTH BOARD MEETING.
Urging More General Use of Wesleyan
 Laboratory-A Chemist Named.

At the quarterly meeting of the state board of health Tuesday even- ing at the Capitol, Professor Herbert w. Conn of Wesleyan university, d. rector of the state board of health's laboratory at Middletown, urged in his report that the board get doctors to use the laboratory for release as well as diagnosis in cases of diphthe- ria, the idea being that physicians should not release patients from quarantine until 1t has been decided at the laboratory that the diphtheria germs are no longer found. At pres- ent the doctors generally make use of the laboratory only to determine whether the patient has diphtheria or not. The professor also reported that the laboratory, in existence six months, is now generally used by both large and small towns. 400 spec linens of meteorological material hav- ing been sent in for examination dur ing the quarter just ended. The re- port was accepted.
 Sanitary Inspector George c. Ham briefly reported concerning his inspection of summer settlements. He said summer resorts and summer ho- tels had been particularly free from typhoid during the season, West Ha- ven being an exception.
 Owing to a desire for economy, and in view of the lack of funds for the purpose, the board took no final action regarding an exhibit at the Jamestown exposition. and a com munication in relation to the matter from Manager George D. Curtis of the Connecticut commission was ta- bled. The question of having the fall sanitary conference. as has been customary the last few years. was also laid on the table for similar req sons. As the man who prepared the weather report for the monthly bull letin has moved away. Secretary Townsend was instrucei to see If the
