the zero of our ordinary Fahrenheit

colder the body So. II condition

be no heat. and therefore the body

TO do this II must be composed OF

Is that liquids aud gases have been

 SAYS PARIS DOCTOR

Paris. April 5.-Dr. Doyen. the noted surgeon, thinks that he has come near- CT finding the elixir of life than any one has before him. Anyway, he is greatly confident that he has found a means< of pro1onging life to a consid- erable extent. He made the an nouncement yesterday afternoon in a lecture in which he gave many tech nica1 details.
 He said that he had discovered a li- quid, which he calls mycolysine. which disso1ves germs. It was known. he said, that if it were possible to decup- lize the activity of phagocytes the re- sistance of the human body would be greatly increased.

Beveridge, as temporary chairman of the Indiana Republican State Convention here today launched his boom for reelection by the next State legislature.

 Senator Beveridge's phrase, "Theo- dore Roosevelt, the champion of Righteousness'' evoked tremendous ap- plause for several minutes and left no question as to the loyalty of Hoosier Republicans to the ex-Presfdent. The spirit shown by. the convention was Roosevelt whenever he needs 1t.

Instead the proposition of Senator Beveridge, that the tariff is a, question which should be settled by an intelligent and competent com ules and suggest them to Congress, was taken up and the tariff plank in the platform will be hearty en- dOrSement of this plan.

BABY DROWNS WITH HEAD IN
 SMALL FIRKIN
Losing Balance, Falls Over Side of Small Receptacle
 In Mothers Absence
DOCTORS EFFORTS IN VAIN
Girl Was Only One Year old, and the Only Child
 of It's Distracted Parents

Death in a most peculiar form en- tered the household of MT. and Mrs. Andrew Vanis, well known residents day when their baby daughter and only child, Mary, just a year old, in the brief absence of her mother, fell headforemost over the side of a small frfzin and was drowned in a few quarts of water.
 Mrs. vanis left little Mary sitting on the kitchen floor, beside the recep- tacle hlled with water in which she had been rinsing the baby's garments. She spent but a few moments hang ing the clothes out in the back yard. On her return she missed the child for an instant, then looking at the fir kin, which stood in corner, she be- held the little limbs protruding over the edge.
 Snatching the child from the water she found it Iife1ess. Screaming in dis traction she enlisted the aid of neigh bors who at once summoned Dr. Hair from his office in State street,
 On his arrival there were the faint est signs of life, and he worked for nearly half an hour trying to rekindIe the little spark of vitality that re- nlained. But he found it 8. hopeless task for the baby was too far gone to respond.
 pr. Hair reported the case to the medical examiner who gave a certi- ffcate of death by drowning. There were but a few quarts of water in the frkin, but the child falling oyer the edge was unable to extricate 41erseffs and her head was submerged

In the evening the day will close with a gi- gantic carnival.

 All of these affairs have been en- trusted to general committee. which in this city. This committee met in the Chapter rooms of the Knights in Newf1e1d building. last evening, and began the work of organization.
 George T. Kelly was elected chair man of the committee. John B. Lyddy treasurer. and Daniel B. Harrigan sec- retary-

 And then chairmen of sub commit tees were named as follows. each with power to name his own assistants: Transportation. M. J. Reyes: decora- ton, John B. Lyddy; floats. George T. Kelly; sports, James H. OfRourke. MT O'Rourke named his assistants as follows: M J. Flanagan. M. F. Mo Kenna, M. J. Reyes, and John E. Eyddy.
 B. F. Cooney was made head of the press committee.

 As for bands. they will be brought in here from every direction and from several States.

MIR. STAPLES
 PROJECT JUST
 OVER CITY LINE
Developing "Brooklawn Park" for Exclusive Res
 identia1 Home Sites
When Completed Will Be One of Finest Residential
 Sections in This County

Just over the town line in Brook1awn
 avenue, in the town of Fairfield, and
 adjoining the property of the Brook
 lawn Country Club. Frank T. Staples
 is laying out 50 acres of ground in a
 residential park. For several months
 back people who have passed through
 Brooklawn avenue have been attracted by finely macadamized roadway lead ing to the westward and ascending the hill which stands to the south of the Country club. On each side of the roadway are solid walls of masonry and ground is laid out for gravel walks, flower beds, and lawns alongside of the stone fences.
 sSo many people have been asking what MT Staples was doing with the plot of ground that a Farmer reporter questioned him concerning his plans. He replied that it was his intention to develop the property as a. resident ial section where the purchasers of land would be restricted to building $7, GOO houses. He said that he did built at a less cost than $12,O00 or $15.- 900, but the $7,000 figure was set upon in case there was anyone who wanted to build a real nice small house.
 The spot is a part of the C1app Spooner park and will be developed as Broolz1awn Park. For many years it was the ideal of the late MT. SpOoner who anticipated that the day was com ing when it would be an ideal resi- dentiaI section. He developed it at tfmSs during his life along lines that 'zSw make it possible for MT. Staples to. lay ont a. most delightful spot for homes.
 The highest ground Is about 100 feet above the sea level and about 60 feet higher than BrooRlawn avenue. The natural lay of the land is such that there is a series of small p1ateaus at various elevations. The winding road has been built and the ground plotted SO that when built upon the effect will De delightful and each property owner will have a splendid perspective from 1iS own windows.
 Large numbers of Norway naples and pine oaks are being set out along 1 he winding roads which are over a nile in length and yet unnamed.
 The high ground is to be developed l ind sold off first and it promises to l ,e one of the prettfest sections in this 1 5art of the country.
 This is part of Fairfield that will | ask to become a part of | Bridgeport sooner or later. and when | t does come into the city it will un- loubtedly be a most valuable acquisi- ion to the grand list.
