formed the subject matter of the meet
ing of the Optimist section of the Cal
ifornia club yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Louis Hertz agreed with Mrs. Lowen-
berg in the belief that a universal
religion is necessary for the world.
She looks to the schools, and especially
to the kindergartens to break down the
barrier that exists today between those
who are radically different in their
religious views. She said that Mrs.
Lowenberg's intention is to promote
the love of God and the brotherhood
of men. and and that she has shown
how this can be accomplished regard
less of creed Mrs. William A. Mad
dern advanced the idea that universal
education rather than universal re-
ISioh would accomplish the desired
result. Mrs. A. b. Black followed say
ing it was her opinion that it was not
so much matter of the intellect as
of the heart. and that our attitude in
regard to the things above us, the
things about us and the things below
US, will bring about universal re-
ligion. Miss Eleanor Croudace took
the point of view that it is the in
tellect which should rule.
Following the discussion ii was an

State Mortality Report.

Hartford July 5The monthly re- port of the state board of health made public today gives the number of deaths in Connecticut during the month of June as l,l35. Thls was less than in May and 90 less than in June of last year, and 16 less than the average num- Der of deaths during June for the five years preceding.
 The death rate was l36 for the large towns, for the small towns, 12,3 and for tho whole state 13i, The deaths re- ported from infectious diseases were l6l, being Al per cent. of the total mortality.
 Discussing vital statistics the report says:
 We employ the method recommended and used by The census bureau. which consists in taking the increase from 1880 to 1900 as shown by the census re- turns and adding one-tenth of the lamount for each year after 1900 This lis very conservative method of esti- mating population. and with the large Immigration into the state during the past few years no doubt gives a result less than 1t should be and which ie more apparent as the decade draws tc a close but 1t seems preferable to the other methods; consequently our deatf rate, 171 per thousand for 1907, is per haps little higher than 1t should be although 1t Is about the same as o other registration states that employ methods of computation similar to oul own.

DEADLY RAT-TAlLED VIPER

New Britain, July 15.---ln the opin- ion of Treasurer F, N. Stanley of the Savings bank of New Britain, Super. intendent Egan of the state police, De- tective Hoffman and William F. Wal ker have not left for home. and he bases that opinion on the fact that there are several newspaper men in San Diego and the party could not get away unknown to them. Stensland got by the New York md Chicago newspaper men and was off on the road to Joliet after trial before tho fact became known.
 At the semi-annual meeting of the directors an encouraging statement was made by Treasurer Stanley. The report shows that the deposits are about normal, and there is little differ ence from the last report. The mar ket value over the book value of the stocks and bonds has bean Increased s10,000. The net earnings of the bank were about $123,000. The amount paid in the per cent. dividend was S107,400. The sum of S7,9o0 was ad- ded to the surplus. rhe amount charged off on premiums on stocks and bonds was SS,570.
 Treasurer Stanley finds an encour- aging condition. The amount of withdrawals in excess of deposits Is 50 per cent less than they 2are for the first thirteen days of July In 1907. The bank earned S16,40O more than was necessary to pay the regular divl- dend.

After the Jnclxies.

New London, July l5.--Acting-Sec- retary of the Navy Newberry has written letter to President A. T. Minor, of the New Lon lon Business Mems association in regard to the re- cent refusal of the dancing privileges at Ocean beach to men wearing the uniform of the United States navy. In tho letter he says.
 Tt being apparent under the ex- isting circumstances that enlisted men of the navy, although sober and well behaved, are being dscriminated against by at least one place of public entertainment at New London, 1t only remains for the nevy department 70 transfer the headquarters of the suadron to some port where the men will be made welcome )n their own account in spite of the fact that they wear the honorable uniform of ser- vice in the United States navy, or where they are protected by the law from humiliation such as was expert enced in this case. In view of your letter, however the department will defer action in the matter, awaiting some reply to this letter which may enable the department 10 take other than the indicated action

Deadly Viper Found.

Hartford, July 15.-For the second time within a year specimen of the deadly "Fer-d -de-lance" snake, one of the dreaded reptiles of the West In- dies and of the upper portion of South America, was found to-day in bunch of bananas opened at Marks Brothers fruit warehouse in Church street This snake is the largest of it's kind ever seen in this region so far as can be ascertained Indeed 1t Is about as large as the venemous reptiles grow. It measures little less than four feet, although some writers say the snake grows to length of six or seven feet.
 Some seven or eight months ago a specimen of the "Fer-de lance" was found at Mark Brothers In a bunch of bananas, but the reptile refused to take food and died within short time. That was in the winter time, and of course the weather affected the reptile, probably bringing about It's death. The present specimen is In a very interesting condition, as 1t is just about to shed it's skin The old
 
 coat Is so dark and colorless that 1t was doubtful, at first, If the snake was really member of the deadly species, but other markings, notably the shape of the head, the striping on the body. and the apparent brilliant reddish-brown color of the new skin lying just underneath the old coat established It's identity, There is lack ing, however, the spike or horn a the end of the tail, which Is invariably feature of the snake. This may b. due to other than natural causes however
 The reptile Is dormant, apparent, affected by the change In climate, al 1t Is accustomed only to the warmes equatorial climate.
