LINDSLEY IS DEAD
FORMER SECRETARY STATE
 BOARD OF HEALTH.
Well Known Physician's Life Work as Secretary of the State Board
 for Twenty-Two Years.

New Haven, March 9.-Dr Charles Augustus Lindsley of this city, up to recently secretary and head of the Connecticut state board of health, died to-day of heart trou- ble, from which he has suffered for some years. Up to within a few days of his death he had been able to be out of doors and to attend to his duties. Dr Lindsley was born in Or ange, N. J.. August 19, 1926. He was graduated at Trinity college in 1S49 and received the degree of A. M. from the same college in 1852. He studied medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York and at the Yale Medical school, where he was graduated in 1852. For more than half a cetnury he has been in active medical practice in this city.
 Dr Lindsley has held many offices. In 1860 he was appointed professor of materia medica at the Yale Medi- cal school and at the time of his death was professor of medicine em- eritus and lecturer on sanitary science. He had been an attending physician of the Connecticut General hospital, vice-president of the New Haven dispensary since it's organfza- tioh and had served as president of the Connecticut Medical society be- sides being an honorary member of several outside medical societies. Dr Lindsley's great life work. how ever, has been as secretary and ad- ministrative head of the state board of health, a position to which he was appointed in 1884 and had held for twenty-two years. Under his admin istration the hygenic system in the state has been greatly enlarged and improved. The two records have been greatly amplif1ed and systema- tized and the local health officers stimulated into additional efficiency and accuracy in their mortuary rec ords. The annual report of the board under Dr Lindsley has been much increased in size and in the fullness, the modernized character and the tabular presentation of the vitality statistics.
 Under Dr Lindsley's long term of service there have occurred in the state a number of typhoid fever cpl denies, notably in New Milford, Wa terbury, Forestville, Stamford and New Haven. These were investi- gated with great scientific thorough ness by Dr Lindsley and in every case the source of the disease was ascertained. A noteworthy case was that at Middletown, where raw oys- ters which spread they typhoid epi. demic among a considerable number of students were traced to an oyster bed in the Quinnipiack river, which had been contaminated by typhoid germs from sewer. In the fnvesti' gation of typhoid epidemics in the state Dr Lindsley has been pioneer In his regular practice he has been somewhat of an authority upon heart disease.
 He leaves a widow and son, Dr c. Purdy Lindsley of this city, and one daughter. Mrs c. s. McChesney of Troy, N. Y.

COAT TAIL PERSUASION.
Violent Scene in British Columbia
 Parliament.

Victoria, B. c., Mrch "A scene resulted in the British Columbia parliment last night from a tilt be- 2 tween Premier Mcbride and J. A Macdonald, the leader of the opposi- tion who made charges of improper dealings in connection with the transfer of Kaien island to the Grand Trunk Pacific. A bitter personal at tack was made by the leader of the opposition which resulted in an angry, excited rejoindsr, during which the speaker ordered Premier Mcbride 10 take his seat, he being out of order in continuing dis cusson upon question of privilege. Raising his voice to shout, the premier turned his back upon the speaker and continued the rejoinder. Meanwhile the speaker shouted to the premier to resume his seat, and colleagues of the premier saved a further scene by taking him by the coat tails and pulling him down to his chair. The premier afterwards apologized and submitted to the rul- ing.

FISHES FOND OF MlNNoWs.
Great Numbers Are Required as One Item of Aquarium Food
 Supplies-

In nature everywhere large fishes feed on small ones and on other forms of animal life which they may find in the water, and for their well being it is always sought as far as possible to supply such natural food to fishes in captivity. says the New York Sun
 In the case of great aquarium like that in New York, with many captive fishes, this involves the supplying fol food purposes, among other things of great number of minnows. The larger fishes in the New York aquari um consumed last year about 1000 quarts of minnows, or about eight bar rels.
 The minnows thus fed range from half an inch to i've inches in length and average about 2.600 to the quart SO that it takes about 2.50o,000 min news annually to furnish this iten of the aquarium's food supplies, whici includes also clans and shrimps ant cut up fresh nsh and various othel things.
 The largest of the striped bass, [ fish close to three feet in length ant weighing probably 25 pounds, will ca | from 200 to 250 minnc0s in day. I
 it should eat 900 a day for 800 day
 in the year 1t would in that periot consume 60,0o0 minnows. But whether, like the big striped
 bass. they eat 200 minnows in a day or like some of the smaller fishes
 only . dozen, or half dozen. all fishe like minnows. and this fondness fo them is not confined to fishes alone but is shared by other animals of thu
 sea, as. for instance, by seals. whicl like minnows very much. If a hand | full of minnows are thrown into a poo | of seals the seals will dive and swin
 about after them with great swiftnes until they have swallowed every one So 1t takes quite a lot of minnow
 to satisfy the natural appetite Of tn
 aquarium's larger fishes. but the tw

 thus annually taken don't cut muel

PRISON FOR LIFE
JOSEPH CENESKY WILL JOIN HIS
 COMPANIONS IN CRIME.
Slayers of Old Man Lockwood Are Having Quick and Stern Pun
 ishment Meted Out to Them.

Joseph Cenesky will join Bassett and Preston in the state prison for the murder of Thomas C. Lockwood on February 27, 1905. Only one more link in this internal chain remains to be forged, Edward Leonard, and it is believed that on Tuesday morning when court resumes he will plead guilty to murder in the second degree and be sentenced to join Cenesky, Bassett and Preston.
 When court opened to-day at 9:30 o'clock Assistant States Attorney Kel- logg began his final argument He spoke for over an hour. Judge Shum- way finished his charge at 11:3O o'clock and the jury retired with the papers and exhibits, the old musket that was broken by Bassett in felling Lockwood, the revolver that he broke on the old mans head, the sawed off chair in which he fell when stricken by the blow from the musket. the note book on which Bassett had the old man write his name pretending it was petition for trolley line in the neighborhood; all the old and well known features in the Bassett case we're TcNifeu dSdin anu piooopis ioi the last hme
 At 12:30 the jury reported verdict of murder in the second degree and the moment the words had left the foreman's lips Cenesky collapsed and his mothers lamentations were heard all over the room. Cenesky was im- mediately sentenced to spend the re mainder of his life in the state prison. When he was taken to the dock. which was done immediately he was sentenced, he burst out crying and for a few minutes his tears were mingled with his unfortunate moth- CTS. She followed him to his cell in the basement and remained with him until he was taken back to jail

A wire cable holding derrick on the premises of the Chase Rolling Mills Co raised merry jinks with a crowd of laborers this forenoon. Two or three workmen were thrown sky high, but none of them was hurt. The cable spanned North Main street and got in contact with the trolley wire.

Then they were thrown all over the place. Their companions, wondering what was the trouble, went up to the der rick and happened to touch 1t also. Then they learned the secret of the others acrobatic antics after they had recovered their senses.
