PETER PAN, BABY
GIRAFFE, is DEAD
Mother in Zoo Refuses to Care
for Her Offspring

LONDON. Aug. s.-Peter Pan, the
much priced baby giraffe born in the
Zoo on June 10. has been only too true
to his name-he did not grow up. He
Is dead
A postmortem examination showed
that pericarditis, heart trouble, was
the cause of his death.
From the minute of his birth the
mother giraffe had remained perfectly
Indifferent to the existence of her
baby and refused to suckle it, and last
week. the keeper AYERS, the mother
giraffe even kicked her offspring,
causing him to be slightly lame
woman visitor to the Zoo who
was an eye witness of Peter Pans
death. described it as follows:
'It was just before closing time"
she said, when we went in the gil
raffe house to see Peter Pan. The
keeper was showing him to us when
he suddenly kicked out his leg. NOV
ing his head feebly and stopped
breathing.
I'VE waited anxiously for a few
minutes and then the keeper said he
was dead
The body of Peter Pan will probably
be stuffed. and In any case the deli
cate spotted skin will be preserved.
There have been Is giraffes born in
the Geological gardens, many of
which have shared Peter Pans fate.

Candidates for Senator.

It is understood that Representative Fred M Colton of Granby is a candi- date for nomination as senator from the Seventh district. He is repre- sentative from Granby at this time and made a good record in the house. He is out as Bulkeley man and as such has the support of Fred Griffin of Bloomfield, who was until recently q Granby man. Representative Arthur Bailey of Windsor is a candidate for the same position, and he is just as strongly a Mclean man. He will have the support of his brother, County Commissioner Bailey. and of the towns of Sirnsbury and Canton unless the latter should present a candidate in the person of Benjamin F. Case. vice president and acting president of the Canton Trust company or Emerson R. Lewis. the young lawyer. Either would make a very successful senator, MT. Case beinw MT.

Having noticed an editorial in last Wednesdays Bulletin calling attention to the state of the elm trees in and around Norwich. I take this opportuni- ty to bring the following to the notice of The Bulletins readers:
 No one need tell you that the beau tiful elm trees in Connecticut are doomed Looking around you in the tops of the elms not already dead, you will see lots of dead branches and limbs. the number of which increases from year to year till the tree, being ,sapped of all vitality, finally fails to send forth any more leaves in the spring, and 80 or 100 years of tree growth has passed to the choppers axe, and the cost of cutting a large elm tree and clearing it away would pay for many years of spraying that same tree and keeping it in green and healthy condition. Now what would the city of Norwich look like without hardly be called the Pearl of New England.
 Spraying trees, if done in a thor ough, painstalSing way, with the right chemicals and enough of it will kill every leaf-eating insect or slug in the trees. That is an established fact Now. the question is to get reliable firm to spray your trees at a fair price and do the work so well that he can practically guarantee your trees free of bugs and green and luxurious all season Are you willing to pay a fair price for just such reliable work? It's dangerous work and laborious in the extreme, and labor of that kind has to be paid for pretty we'll Bur what are few dollars out of your pleasures to besides the beauty to the eye of so much consequence and comfort in the summer?

As in previous summers at Trinity church rectory, Northfield, the rector, the Rev. A. P.

 There are 13 girls there this sum- mer their ages ranging from 10 to 12 years. None of them is sick or crippled in any way. but were taken from homes where the conditions were unfavorable and where illness was practically certain to develop if the tendencies to it were not arrested in time. They are unusually bright prepossessing children, the rector be- lieving that they are the ones who need special oversight if they are to develop along proper lines physically, mentally and spiritually into nor- nal, healthy womanhood. Most of them came from the parish and Sun day school of St. PauFs church, New Haven and the expense of supplying g sthem with whatever was lacking in the way of summer outfits. of trans portation, and of the actual cost of their food is borne by that church.

number of Torrington automobile owners have been violating the section of the motor vehicle law which re- plates. of the machine be displayed in conspicuous places at the front and rear of the machine.

 Another and more common form of violation of this section is when the owners permit the license plate to be- come covered with an accumulation of mud and dirt, obscuring tine figures omit.

Conditions of Factory Life in Japan.

Japan never adopts anything in its entirety Even some of the trans planted religions have had to be mod fled to suit the country. Sometimes this process improves the idea or method transplanted, and sometimes 1t does not. Hence, when Japan intro duced the British factory system in spinning and weaving mills, it reject ed-and, unhappily, still continues to reject in spite of repeated appeals from public spirited Japanese-the factory laws and regulations which go with it. With abundant labor at fourpence or fivepence per day, with the bright eyes and nimble fingers of operatives willing to work for 12 hours a day, and on Sundays, and without murmer to keep the machinery run ming all night as well as all day. well. might Manchester, New England, and the textile districts of France. Ger many and Italy take notice of Japan's competition. These views found ex- speeches of statesmen and in the writ ings in the newspaper press
 What is the situation in the manu- featuring districts of Japan today? The factories are still buzzing night and day; thousands of young girls are still contracting for three years to live in '.coTnpound' like so many peas in pod. and to work in the mills for 12 hours ger day one week and 12 hours p.- night the next. There Is over four times as much capital invested in in dustrial enterprises (90 million yen in 1896 and 3S2 million yen in 190s); the number of factory operatives then was ASA, S32 and now is 649,676; and twice the amount of products are manufac- tured. The operatives over half of whom are engaged in the textile in dustries, are no doubt better cared for, and many millions show almost pa ternal solicitude for their employees welfare. There are cases of remark able progress. In one instance I vis- ited. the mills of concern that was organized in 1896, and which last De- cember had over 5000 operatives on the payroll.
