$50 WILL ATTEND,
VETERINARY MEDICAL MEET IN
 THIS CITY IN AUGUST.

One Day for CIinic-American Associa-
 tion Will Discuss Many Scientific
 Questions of Interest to the Pros
 fessiOn.
 The annual meeting of the American Veterinary Medical association will be held in this city August 21 to "A, The programme for the convention is being prepared by the Connecticut members of the association, and arrangements are being made for about $50 delegates The meetings will be held in Harmonic hall, and the Tontine hotel will be the convention headquarters.
 The association numbers about 1000 members, comprising praeticing veter- mariana, government officers and col | lege instructors from all over the country. It represents the progressive element of the profession, since only graduates of three-year colleges are admitted to membership. In addition to discussions of scientific topics, one ontire day of the convention will be devoted to a clinic, at which opera tions will be performed by famous surgeons, These operations are not of the nature of vivesection cases, but will be such as are necessary for cases brought to the convention for treat ment.
 The association aims to make the convention somewhat of a social affair as well as a business meeting, as a large number of the members will be accompanied by their wives. A series of pleasure trips by trolley and steam boat has been planned to give the vis- itors a view of the scenery along the sound The main social event of the week will be dinner at the Tontine hotel on Thursday evening, August 23.
 The meetings of the convention will be open to all veterinarias who care to attend, whether they are members of the association or not. Dr. R, P. Lyman of Hartford Is vice president of the association, and is taking an active part in the preparations for the coming meeting. He and pr. c. l.. Colton are the only Heal veterinarians who belong to the organization.

AN AMERICAN LOAD WITHOUT A
 TITLE.


 The lord of Lucky" Baldwin's ranch can drive eighteen miles in a straight line across his own acres. In such a tour he will pass his own general mer- chandise store, maintained for the convenience of his own people, the school supported for their children, the blacksmith shop, the church and the postofflce, all belonging to the equip ment of the estate He will pass through his vast orange and fig and olive orchards, his walnut groves and his vineyards where the Mission grape is gathered from the gnarled vnes planted by the padres. There are also one hndred acres of lemons, one hum dred acres of grapefruit, two thousand acres of corn hay and small grains. ITdis thirty thousand sheep graze on the brown hillsides, and he could clothe his people with their wool, if he wished. His wheat ranch could feed them, his three thousand head of cat tie could provide beef and leather. In other fields are five hundred work mules and five hundred draught and carriage horses.
 These sixty thousand acres are divi- lded into several ranches, each 1T charge of superintendent who in turr reports to a general manager who is Irresponsible to the owner It is pa ternal, feudal system, highly special ized by means of the American talen for systematic administration and or ganization.-Ralph D.

VITTATEs HEIRS, CLAIM.
Decision in COughlin Case Against
 Knights of Columbus.

Bridgeport July 3O.-The sustaining of the lower court by the supreme court yesterday vitiates the claim of the heirs of the late Hon. Patrick Coughlin of this city for the insurance of $l,000 claimed from the Knights of Columbus, on the ground that he was in arrears at the time of his death. The suit is one which has attracted widespread attention. The late MT. Coughlin was a member of the organ ization of the Knights of Columbus ever since its incep ion. He was a charter member of one of the local councils. At the time of his death there was a claim made that he was a member of the Masonic order, and as such could not have been admitted to the Knights. This contention was made, but later the defendants alleged that he was in arrears in the payments of assessments, the by-laws providing that all assessments fo4. death benefits be paid every thirty days. It was claimed that in Coughlh. s case the as- assessments had not been so paid. and the claim of his heirs for the insurance was contested. The case was carried to the highest court in the state. and
 the finding to-day is the. result.

ANOTHER THUNDERSTORM.

Followed by Heavy Rain-Cellars in
 Church, Meadow and Other Streets
 Flooded.
 Thunderstorms have come to be so common of late that people are aston ished to see day pass without the usual occurrence. Yesterday afternoon about o'clock the sky became very black and thunder was heard rolling in the distance In few minutes rain be- gan to fall and for nearly an hour it came down in torrents. At the corner of Church and Chapel streets it rushed along for a short time like a river, and the streets were completely deserted Many who were without umbrellas got 8 bad wetting.
 In Church and Meadow streets the water backed from the sewers and many cellars were flooded in conse. quence.
 It was the opinion of several we'll known citizens that the present sewer pipes in the center of the city were toe small and ought to be replaced by lar. ger ones.

\ MUCH DpBATED WORD.

Many will remember that few years ago there went on violent con troversy about the word tireless. The discovery had been made that less than a suf1ix which could properly be appended only to nouns. Hence the form must be discarded, and we must all take pains to say untiring. The duty of so doing was preached from scores of professional and newspaper pulpits. No one seemed to think of care for the various other adjectives similarly formed, and therefore liable to the similar censure which they never received. Hostility was directed against it alone. The actual flaw which vitiated the arguments against tireless its censors never knew or took into consideration. This was that the fancied ruin covering the creation of such words had ractically long ceased to be operaeive whenever new formation struck the sense of the users of language as being desira- bio.
 Unquestonably n our earliest speech
 
 ladjectives, was joined only with nouns. lBut the general sloughing off of nom l inal and verbal endings which went on in later centuries deduced a great proportion of substantives and verbs l in the speech to precisely the same form. Tn consequence the sense of any fundamental distinction between the two broke down in many ways, in ] one way in particular. There is noth- ing easier in our speech than to con- vert a verb into a noun or noun into verb, It is a process which has taken place constantly In the past, and is liable to take place constantly in the past and is liable to take place at any time in the future, either at the will or the whim of the writer oI hspeaker-Thomas R. Lounsbury in Harper's.

Nrm HAVEN ANCESTORS.

NEW HAY FEN A4NCAEAo OL(E.
 One of the oldest and most respected citizens of Bridgeport, Frederic Still man, died July 27th at his late resi- dence 169 Park street. aged eighty five years. .Mr. Stillman has been i'll for some time and the end was not unex- pected. The Bridgeport Farmer says: The deceased was one of the old set tiers. He was descended in the third generation from Ashbel and Mary IStillman of New Haven, and his an- cestors owned historic house on Old IMill Green which was built in 1883.
 MT. Stillman received his education in this city, which was at that time not more than a struggling village. He has lived here the greater portion | of his life. He spent short periods In Chicago, in North Carolina and in the west when he was engaged in the fur lniture business, but always preferred Bridgeport as a place of residence.
 For forty years he was in charge of l the cabinet making department of the Wheeler & Wilson company, and dur | ing that time won the esteem and re- speet of his employees. A few years ago he retired, to spend the autumn of his life at his home. In the early 4Os MT. Stillman was member of the To- cal artillery. Third division, Fourth brigade, and he could tell many inter- esting stories of that brave day. He was a man of sterling integrity and had many qualities which endeared him to his large circle of friends. His death will be sincerely mourned.
 Surviving him are one son, George F. stillman, and three daughters, Mrs R. H. Stiles, Mrs. William H. Brins- made and Mrs Minnie F. Weed.

FIGHTING ABOUT TELLS
Serious and Regular Campaign Now ir
 Progress.

St, Petersburg, July 31-Advices re- ceived here from Tifis, dated yesterday ex-members are now living under cover in the house of friends in St. Peters, burg, or have gone into hiding in the provinces.
 A correspondent of the Associated Press to-day met two prominent peas ant eX-deputies, who had cut off their luxuriant hair and boards, and who could be scarcely recognized in this guise.
 The motives of the government for abandoning it's attitude not to prosecute the signers of the Viborg manifesto, as set forth recently by Premier Stolypin in an interview, is not stated, but evil dently it was influenced by the need of vented from continuing the full-fedged revolutionary agitation upon which they are now embarked Many of these show that regular campaign is pro- gressing between Armenians and Tar tars in that section Yesterday large forces of Tartars attacked Askeran Pass, which was occupied by Armeni- ans, but were unable to break the Ar menian cordon. Fighting is now going on in the villages of Haramurt, Hala- dad and Karanlukh The Tartars are concentrating against Askeran Pass.
 On July 27 Kurds attacked the vil- l lages of Kalbalikened and Kiermizhan and were. endeavoring to force an en- trance into Shusha. At the latter place they were repulsed by Russian troops ;, under General Zoloschakov.
 News received here from Yelisavetpo says that communication between Ag- dam and Shusha has been interrupted for five days. Firing between Armeni- ans and Tartars continued from July 2 to July 2S. The fighting near Shusha increased in severity on July 29 and re. suited in the burning of the town. The government has dispatched reinforce. ments to the scene.
