And Frank, like dutiful son,

nothing else but think!
Then the result was seen. he
talked less of Madge and more OF
the widow.

Each division was represented by three members and voicing their respective divisions it was unanimously agreed upon to procure a like uniform for that day. It is the first time in their history that the divisions of the A. o. H. adopted the same uniform and with the assured statement of each rep resentative that his division would turn out to a man it is safe to say that the Waterbury A. O.

WILL GARRY YANKEE COLORS.
Athletes Chosen to Compete In Olympic Games.

New York, June 9.-To represent the United States in the Olympic games, which will be held in London next month, seventy-six men, the pick of the country's athletes, were selected as the American team at meeting at the Astor House of the American Olympic team committee.

Bellars, the distance runner, who looks for Marathon hon. ors; Dearborn. McGrath, Rose, Sheri- dan and Coe are some of those selected to compete in the heavyweight and discus events. Sheppard at middle dis tance, Hillman for the hurdles and Ewry in the high and broad jump are some of the other selections which are regarded as safe event winners for the team.
 While the team selected will be the main reliance of America in the vari. ous events to be contested, the con- mittee has also formulated a supple mentary list of athletes, including the more promising of the younger ele- ment, which may be drawn upon to complete the entry list in some of the events.

VACCINATION
 FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
Remedy For Cattle May Be Available For Humans.

yieana, June 9.-What is believed t0 be an extremely important discovery In the inoculation of animals for tuber- culosis was announced at meeting of the Vienna Medical society by Pro lessor c. Heymans. Swiss scientist. The process occupies less than a min ute and renders the animal entirely immune. One milligram of tubercu- losis bacilli is placed in laced sack, the cover of which is made of reed. The whole is inclosed in gelatine capsule and sewn under the skin of the animal. It acts on the membrane and absorbs the fluids of the body, which cause the bacilli to multiply at first, but to perish later.
 Meanwhile the poisons from the ba- cilli permeate the body, producing an tidotes which protect the organism from further infection. From ten to eighteen months after its insertion the reed cover can be withdrawn, when the bacilli will be found to have per ished. The animal is perfectly im- mune from tuberculosis and can be in- oculated with the bacilli of that dis ease or can eat them mixed with its fodder and remain perfectly healthy.
 Professor Heymans says that the method is ideal for dealing with tuber- culosis in cattle and that it is not im- possible that such a method may be successfully employed in protecting mankind from the same disease.

TYPHOID IN TERRYVILLE.
Pronounced by State Board of Health to Be Due to Impure Milk.

TerryVille, June 9.-Contamina- ton In the milk supply is believed to be the cause of the typhoid fever epidemic here. Such is the opinion of the secretary of the state board of health, Dr J. P. Townsend of New Haven, who made an investi- gatlon Friday. Last Wednesday evening the 4years-old son of Will liam c. Bates died of the disease. A week and half ago Edward L. Barnes was found on the floor at his home unconscious and the case was one of combined meningitis and typhoid. Frank c. Hall is critically III with typhoid. Mrs Talmadge of Pequabuck was taken to the Water bury hospital yesterday with the dis ease.
 Town Health Officer Stoughton in making an investigation as to the source of the epidemic came across some startling developments. He found that all those afflicted with ty- phoid had procured their milk sup ply from c. N. Atwood and that a portion of Atwood's supply had been purchased from the Minor farm on Chippens hill in Bristol. The Minor farm has typhoid history Six years ago a boarder there was i'll with typhoid. The next summer so people in Bristol were taken i'll with the same disease. It was traced by an expert to the milk which came from that farm and the well near the stable was condemned. Last summer small epidemic cropped out among some consum- CTS of milk from the Minor farm but it stopped as soon as the supply from that source was stopped.
 The conditions at the farm this summer are apparently good and MT Atwood, who has been particular about his milk supply, examined the stables well before deciding to make use of the supply for his Ter ryville route. The well that was condemned 1t is claimed has not been used. Its proximity to the stables. however, is dangerous. pr Townsend called upon the Bristol health officer with the result that an order has been sent directing that the we'll be closed. As soon as danger was suspected the milk sup ply for Terryville from the farm was discontinued. It has been discov- cred that every patient i'll with ty-, phoid in Terryville for the last year procured milk from the same source.

CAMERON WINS AT yAILsBURG.
Revival of Tandem Racing PIeases
 Spectators of Cycle Contests.

George c. Cameron added two more first prizes to the score of the Irish-American A. C. teams credit yesterday by capturing both of the amateur events at the Vailsburg cycle track in Newark. It looked as though David Mackay of Newark and Fred Hill of Boston would give Cameron a hard fight for victory in the ten mile open Marcus Hurley stakes, but the pair got mixed up on the last turn and Cameron finished five lengths ahead of Oscar Goerke, the second man. Mackay chased after Cameron as soon as he got strengthened out and finished fourth. but was disquali- fed by Referee Kelsey. All of the seats in the grand stand and bleach CTS were filled, the attendance being about 1000.
 Kramer failed to qualify for the final of the Eddie Bald one mile han. dicap, and Fogler was the lone scratch man. He caught the bunch but had to sit up as he was exhausted. Logan, followed by Bardgett, led at the bell. Bardgett and Root fought for the lead through the homestretch, Bardgett winning by a foot. Root won the consolation race.
 Tandem racing was revived and made a great hit with the spectators. Vanoni and Anderson were giving Kramer and Moran a good fight in the first trial heat when a punctured tire finished them. Kramer and Moran disposed of Fogler and Barl- gett rather easily in the deciding heat.

COMBINE AGAINST MGRAw.
Other Managers Said to Be After His
 Scalp.

There is & deep-seated conspiracy among National league managers to drive John MeGraw. manager of the New York Giants. out of base ball. They hope to accomplish this by refusing to enter into any negotia- tlons with MeGraw having for it's purpose an exchange of players. By adhering 10 this policy they say Nc Graw will be compelled to rely on his veterans and youngsters. snd will be denied the benefits that other clubs enjoy-that of mutual improvement gained by a trade of players.
 Frank Chance. manager of the Chicago Cubs. has said that McGraw has done more to iniure base ball in the National league than any other man or set Of men. He also says McGrav's unpopularity with his own men accounts for the present low standing of the Giants.
 McGraw tried to effect a deal for the transfer of Hans Lobsrt to New York. It is understood that he of- fered Camel. Outfelder Spike Shan non. Pitcher Joe McGInnity. and a bonus for Lobert- A mysterious something" blocked the deal
