~sLEsT BE THE TIE"
How the Familiar Old Hymn Came to
 Be Written.

Not one in thousand of those who sing that good old hymn "Blest be the tie that binds" knows the history of it's homely origin. According to the Church Eclectic, it was written by the Rev. John Fawcett, who in the latter part of the eighteenth century was the pastor of poor little church in Lockshire, England. His family and responsibilities were large. his salary was less than four dollars a week. In 1772 he felt himself obliged to accept a call to London church. His farewell sermon had been preach. ed, six wagons loaded with furniture and books stood by the door. His congregation, men, women and chil- ren were in an agony of tears. MT. Fawcett and his wife sat down on q packing case and cried with the oth- CTS. Looking up, Mrs. Fawcett said: "Oh, John, John, cannot bear this. know not where to go!" "Nor eith- er," said he; nor will we go. Unload the wagons and put everything back in its old place." His letter of accep- tance to the London church was re- called and he wrote this hymn to com memorate the episode.

WENT HOME FOR WARRIOR.
Dog Evidently Had Reasoned Out the
 Situation.

c. B. Shockley. who lives across the river, was recently blowing in some new ground near the edge of the river hills, says an Oklahoma correspondent of the Kansas City Journal. He was accompanied by a half-grown shepherd dog. The dog in hunting went over a small hill and soon came kiting back with a coyote close to his heels. See ing the man the coyote ran back and the dog plucked courage to follow. Out of sight of his master he weak ened and came back over the hill with the coyote after him. This was re- peated several times. to the amuse- ment of Mir. shockley. who offered neither counsel nor assistance. mean ing to see how the dog would figure it out. He had not long to wait. The dog sat down and seemed to think over the situation. and then started for the house on a keen run. He was back in a very short time. accompanied by a big dog whose reputation as a coyote fighter was established. The young dog led the old one over the hill and soon the coyote had disappeared.

shooters at Halifax.

Halifax. N. S.. Aug 15.-A field gun competition was started here to- day between teams from Great Brit ain and Canada. Each team was composed of fifty men, including some of the best gunners in the ar- tillery service of Great Britain and Canada. The British artillerists ex- erted unusual efforts to-day to land the kings cup, for which the contest was held. as they have nothing but deefats to show for their matches on this side of the ocean thus far. They are here under the command of the Earl of Stradbroke, who will tour the Canadian northwest before returning to England. The match will be fin- ished tomorrow.

DOG GAVE ALARM
His Bark Awoke The Inmates of the Stevens Home Which
 Burned to the Ground.

Branford, Aug 15.-The barking of a little pet dog probably saved the lives of the three persons in the old Stevene homestead on the Short beach road near the Double beach trolley station early to-day. The house and contents were burned to ashes and in It at the time of the fire were MT and Mrs Edward Riker and Julius Spier of New Haven and Mrs Katherine Stae- bert of Hartford Awakened by the sharp bark of the little dog the occu- pants of the house found their bed rooms in flames and just managed to escape injury by dropping from the windows in their night clothes In fifteen minutes there remained nothing but pile of ashes.
 The old home burned like pile of shavings and not thing was saved. It belonged to the A. F. Stevens cs- tate. The little dog which ran up stairs when the flames started and gave the alarm to those in the house, perished in the flames.
 It is thought that the fire was start- ed by spark from the kitchen stove and the loss is estimated at about $2,500.

SLUMP IN STOCKS
AmaIgamated Copper Leader in Downward Race With a
 Drop of } IA Points.

New York, Aug. 15.-Another sharp break in the prices of stocks characterized the opening of the stock market. to-day, following the lead set by the London market where the prices of American stocks slump. ed to-day on the announcement oi the increase in the Bank of Eng lands rate of interest. Amalgamat- ed Copper was again the leader oi the downward movement at to-day's opening in New York, scoring an in itial drop of 3A points from yester. days closing price of 69A. It's first sale to-day was at 66. American Smelling was also a heavy sufferer Tn the opening break, its first sale being at 90 as compared with a closing price of 94 last night. Brooklyn Transit and Reading scored losses of points in the first sales, the former selling at 40 and Reading at 86 from which it advanced one point quickly l The Pacific railroad shared in the losses of the other leaders, Southern Pacific going from S1 a4, last nights close, to 79A on it's first sale to-day, while Union Pacific fell from 123 to 121. Canadian Pacific dropped a I point and a half Northern Pacific fell from 115A to IA. American Sugar fell 2k points. New York Central lost about one point on ths | first sales
 These breaks were promptly fol- lowed by recoveries of a point in most of the active leading stocks, but the undeftone was extremely fever ish.
 For the first time in ten years New York Central went below par in the opening decline being quoted at 995s, decline from last night of 3 8. It quickly recovered. Consolidated Gas fell f at the opening. Missouri Pa cific dropped ? on the early sales.
 Recoveries in the first hour ran from 5 8 in Southern Pacific ? in Amal- gamated Copper to 2% in Smelling. St Paul scored a net gain of 1.

UP GOES MONEY
The Bank of England After a Lengthy Discussion Sent Dis
 count Up Half a Cent.

London, Aug. 15.-The directors of the Bank of England. after a pro- longed discussion to-day, raised the banks discount rate from to AZ per cent, owing to the monetary sit uation on the continent and in New York, and the anxiety of American houses to place finance bills here, which is taken to indicate possible gold shipments to New York in the near future. The recent foreign competition for the gold arrivals evil dently helped the directors to arrive at their decision and the usual de- mands for Egypt as we'll as South America must be met before the year ends. The reserve will be sufficient ly depleted without such demand as that experienced last year. The hope expressed in financial circles that Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou will assist the New York market if necessary and prevent gold ship ments from here, which undoubtedly would cause another advance in the Bank of England's discount rate.
 The stock market experienced a renewed depression this morning, chiefly owing to yesterdays break in New York, and although not much stock changed hands prices weaken ed in all directions, the depression being accentuated by the advance in the bank rate. Consols declined 5-16 to S1k.
 Americans started 1 to 5 points be- low yesterdays prices and fell quick ly when the higher bank rate was announced, but they recovered smart!y under purchases and later ruled steady at about parity level.

HEALTH OF STATE
In Twenty Years Deaths From Tuberculosis Have Decreased
 From 20 to 13.5 Per 1000.

Hartford, Aug 15.-In his month ly report, Secretary Townsend of the state board of health speaks en- couragingly 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 popu- lation, in 1886 to 135 in 1906. In other words, says the report, the deaths from tuberculosis at the pres ent time are 500 less per annum than they would have been with the death rate of 1886. Continuing. the re- port says: "The appointment by Governor Woodruff of commission to consider this subject and to report to the next legislature what the state mould do to aid in the work, Is most finely and ought to be productive of much good. Connecticut in the past Nhas been liberal in her appropria. &tions to the two institutions at Hart zford and Wallingford, and has also aided by the enactment and enforce ment of some wise laws for improv- ing the hygienic condition of the tenements and workshops.
 "One of the needs of the present day is a place where the chronic or incurable consumptives can be cared for, a less attractive field than the care of the incipient cases. The ex- isiting sanatoria are generally for the treatment of, the incipient stage of the disease; the advanced cases are not wanted, nor are they well comed in the general hospitals. Such a home would not only provide com fortable care for these unfortunate beings, but would remove them from the danger of injecting other mem. bers of the community.
 The mortality reports received show that there were 1,50S deaths in the state during the month of July. This was a high death rate, 2S3 more than in June. but 29 less than in July of last year, and 26 less than the average number of deaths during July for the five years pre- ceding.
 One hundred and six deaths were due to accidents and violence and only 10 of typhoid fever. despite the fact that July generally is a bad month for typhoid cases.
