DANGERS LURK
IN TOY PISTOL
DR.. Robin Sounds Warning TO
Prevent Dreaded TetanuS
or LOCkiaW

City Bacteriologlst Alfred Robin
sounds a timely warmne against the
use Of toy pistols on the Fourth OF
July. There Is danger OF lockjaw
from wounds by their use and to avoid
this dreaded disease Dr. Robin advises
the discontinuance Of the use OF these
Kind OF weapons.
"Tetanus or loclSiaw," says Dr
Robin. lis the most dreadful accident
that can happen or does happen dur
ing this national celebration. Tetanus
is caused by germ which is found ir
garden soil and IN dust. and Il tnl,es
but a very small wound for the tctanus
germ 10 enter. and once It does enter
into the body It begins to manufacture
very powerful poisons.
"An amount so small that II could
not be weighed on any ordinary scales
is sufficient TO kill grown person in
a very short time. The effect of this
poison upon the body Is to produce
commissions which closely resemble
poisoning with strychnre. IL takes
about nine days for the symptoms of
tetanus 10 develop. Once it has de-
velopod. there is practically no cure
for A.
1T IS for this reason that tetanus
Is so formidable ana 80 destructive to
life. and an precautions should be
taken 20 prevent infection. The surest
way TO prevent infection Is 10 avoid
toy pistols The reason injuries re-
ceived through these are so frequently
followed by tetanus IS that the germ
cannot live Ia the presence OF air
When Il gains entrance into an open
wound Il soon dies. but If that wound
Is sealed as by the wadding OF q pistol
the germ has q chance TO develop and
produce the fatal disease.
Another precaution which should be
observed IS TO secure medical aid in
all cases Of injury however slight. Any
wound received under these circum
stances should be cauterized and if
az all deep should be opened up by
tho physician"

lSekteen Of our States have taken an
advanced stand for enforcement OF the

We are elaw abiding people, and that
IS why there is an uprising against

Most of the people wish the law en-

This talk that the law could not b,

THE DIAMOND.
We Will Have a Big List of Players
 to Pick From.

Manager Durant of the Waterbury baseball team announced yesterday that he had secured the services of Herman Bronkie of Manchester. the husky twirler who performed such valiant services for Hartford during the flag end of last season. Bronkie is the property of Newark and Man. .ager Danaher of New Haven an- nounced short time ago that he had secured Bronkfe. The player said he did not know where he would land. The case seems to be settled now for Durant says he has received an agreement from Newark in regard to the services of the pitcher. Bronkie was with Waterbury about two months last season, going there with .O'Hagan. Wagner and Swander. Wag- ner was recalled. Farley. Treat. Rogers and Voorhees, were pitching good ball and the team did not care to carry five pitchers. Bronkie was al- lowed to go to Hartford. Bronkie was a popular player in Waterbury and the fans will be glad to see him back. Bronkie Is a good fielding pitcher and his batting average for last season was .2ss. a good figure for a pitcher. Parry Thackera has asked for his release from Waterbury but IL is unlikely taat t will be granted. Manager Durant has signed about thirty players and he is rum ming a close second to Manager Hum- phrey of New London for the biggest squad in the circuit.

DUEL TO
 THE DEATH Two Brothers Who Loved the Same Woman Fought With
 Clubs and Knives BOTH MEN WILL DIE One Had Married the Woman But He Had Abused Her and inc Other Rebuked Him and the Fight
 Was Begun.
BOTH MEN WILL DIE

New York, March 19.-Two broth CTS who loved the same woman fought with knives and clubs in an east side saloon early to-day until both were so severely injured that they probably will die. The men are George and Giovanni Francesca, who came to America from Palermo, Italy, about two years ago. There they had both been rivals for the hand of the same girl, handsome young Sicilian, who for some time could not make up her mind which to choose of the two brothers. Eventually she accepted George, the elder, and they were married shortly before the trio came to New York. Not long after their arrival George began to suspect his wife, and at length she left him and went to live with friends in Brooklyn. When the brothers met in the east side saloon early to-day Giovanni upbraided George for his treatment of the young wife, taunted him in front of number of other Italians. and ad- mitted that he, the younger brother, still loved the woman.
 Instantly the place was in an up roar. The brothers closed, struggled all over the floor. and eventually out into the hallway. where they were found unconscious by d policeman. Georges head had been crushed by blow and the younger man had a deep knife wound in the abdomen At the hospital where they were taken their condition is regarded as critical.

The shells used were then compared with those picked up at Brownsville, and the officers making the tests reported that 1t has been demonstrated beyond dispute that four guns of Company B were used in dis charging all of the. thirty three shells. |.

He also asked that the war department be instructed to send for Lieutenant Lau- rison. who commanded Company B at the time of the affray.

London, March 19.-The Un!onist campaign against the legislation which the government proposes to introduce after Easter giving partial home rule to Ireland, was formally opened to-day. A strong deputation of residents of Ulster, including about 50 leading anti-home rulers, headed by the Duke of Abercorn and Lord Lansdowne held conference with A. L.

He added that he believed the sentiment of the country had not varied on the subject since the defeat of the late MT Clad stones home rule measure.
