District chamber Of commerce, held
in the Temperance Institute, Keighley,
England, recently. Speaking before the
large gathering of the commercial and
trade leaders of the district, he gave
some striking illustrations of the large
expenditure of the nation on drink. He
said: THE G175,000,000 we are now
spending on intoXicants represents an
enormous drain on our national re-
sources, in view of the increasing
keenness of present day competition.
To illustrate: This same amount OF
money would either pay for all the
flour, bread, milk, butter cheese and
eggs we consume; or it would pay all
the rates and taxes that we levy; or
il we preferred it, the amount would
suffice to pay everybody's rent; OF

Lower death rate
TUBERCULOSIS REPORT
Six Hundred Less Per Annum
Than in 1886 by
Statistics.

Hartford, Aug 15.--In his monthly
report Of Secretary Townsend Of the
State Board of Health speaks encour-
agingly of the reduction in the death
rate from tuberculosis during the past
twenty years. The annual death rate
from this disease has been reduced
from 20 per 10000 of population in
1885 to 1876 in 1906. In other words,
says the report, the deaths from tu-
berculosis at the present time are 500
less per annual than they would have
been with the death rate Of 1886.
Continuing the report says:
1.-THE appointment by Governor
woodruff Of a commission to consider
this subject and to report to the next
legislature what the state should do to
aid the work, is most timely and ought
to be productive of much good. Con-
'necticut in the past has been liberal in
her appropriations to the two institu-
lions at Hartford and Wallingford,
and has also aided by the enactment
land enforcement of some wise laws
for improving the hygienic condition
of the tenements and workshops.
zone Of the needs Of the present
day is a place where chronic or in
durable consumptives can be cared for,
a less attractive field than the care of
THE incipient cases. The existing
sanatoria are generally for the treat
ment of the ineiplent stage of the
disease. The advanced cases are not
wanted nor are they welcomed in the
general hospitals, Such a home would
not only provide comfortable care for
these unfortunate beings, but would
remove them from the danger of in
fecting other members of the COM
munity."
The mortality reports received show
that there were 1903 deaths in the
state during the month of July. This
was high death rate, 2SS more than
in June, but 90 less than in July of
last year and 2s less than the aver
age number Of deaths during July for
the five years preceding.
One hundred and six deaths were
que to accidents and violence and only
10 to typhoid despite the fact that
July generally is a bad month for ty-
phoid cases.

OWL RANG CHURCH BELL.
Clinton Farmers Thought Whole Town
Was Burning.

Clinton, Aug. 15.-Persons residing
in this village were startled out Of
their slumbers about 1 o'clock yester-
day morning by the tolling of the bell
in the little Methodist church. The
church bell summons the village buck
ct brigade when there is fire in the
neighborhood. AT the first tap of the
bell the farmers awoke and hurried
to the church, buckets in hand. AT
times four or five strokes Of the bell
would be given in rapid succession,
to be followed by an interval of 81
lence. There was no sign of fire any
where. At the church practically ev-
eryone living within sound of the bell
had gathered, yet within all was dark,
while the bell in the tower continued
to peal out the alarm. 1t caused a
shiver to run down the backs of even
| the bravest.
Finally, Henry Van Ness, the sexton
of the church, arrived, He suspected
some uncanny agency at work and re-
fused to open the doors. He said he

Ness passed 1t over. A lantern was
then procured, and Van Ripper with a
few Of the holder ones in the crowd,
climbed to the belfry.
AS the leader opened the little trap
door in the roof some great white OBJ
ject, armed with claws, could be seen.
Ghosts, sure" he exclaimed, and
scrambled out of the building with the
remainder of the company.
For a few minutes after the bell
pealed vociferously, and then all was
still.
No one in the crowd could be in
duced to investigate further. They lin
gered around until daylight, whisper
ing their fears to one another, A sec
ond ascent to the tower revealed the
fact that a flock of pigeons had made
their home in the belfry and a huge
owl had discovered this fact. The bird
of prey had made an attack upon the
pigeons, and in some way had become
entangied in the meshes of a loose
strand of the bell rope, which had
been sufficiently strong to hold the
great bird captive, and in its frantic
struggles to free itself it had rung the
bell.
