RAM AND COAT FIGHT IN PARK
Billy Ansora Loses Horn Sunday Afternoon Battle in Deer Yard Mother Deer Keeps Her Pawn Hidden Away from Superintendent Duf -Gosinss and Turkeys Matching.

rams charges, the Angora acknow- ledged defeat, and the fight was over
 Superintendent Duff arrived shortly after the decision had been reached and at once gave attention to the .n- jured goat, which was bleeding quite badly. He bound up the horn to stop the flow of blood and left the animal to recover from the wound to his phy sical feelings and the hurt to his pride
 There is another new arrival in the deeryard, a lawn that was born last Wednesday, but so far has been hidden away so cleverly by the mother, whose name is Deborah that Superintendent Duff has been unable to catch a sight of the baby.
 The feathered folk at the park have increased in numbers to a considerable extent this spring, and today there will be still further additions to the roll, as there are two hatchings of goslings and two of turkeys to come out today
 At present three broods of baby chickens are in charge of their hen mothers. Two of the families are pure bred Japanese silkies, but the mem bers of the other family are half breeds Japanese silkies and bantam. There are also forty little ducklings of sev- eral breeds, and one brood of seven teen silver pheasant chicks.
 In anticipation of pleasant day or Sunday, Superintendent Duff had the settees all out and in position around the lake and in other parts of the park

GUARD THE INFANTS.
Secretary Townsend Sends Out Warn ing Note for the Summer Months.

In his April report Secretary J. H. Townsend of the state board of health sounds a warning note on the subject of infant mortality. He writes:
 tention to infant mortality which is always high during the very hot months and makes it well to consider what this amounts to in Connecticut, to seek the cause and apply the nec- essary remedies. Thirty-three hun die annually. This amounts to nearly twenty per cent. of the total death rate and is about one-ninth of the to- tai births for a year. Of this num- Der one-half die under the age of two months, mostly from congenital causes, such as premature birth and hamilton. Above the age of two months intestinal disorders.
 Much valuable work is now being done to improve the milk supply of the state and this has been found to infant death rate. Health officers should do all that they can to see that the milk supply comes from health animals and that 1t Is protected from contamination from the time it leaves the COW until it reaches the consumer. They should aid and cooperate in all movements to educate mothers in the care of their babies. In some of our larger cities milk dispensaries have done a valuable work. These should be in charge of a physician to advise mothers with regard to care and feed ing and he should be assisted by a trained nurse to visit and give advice in the home.
 Considering the very high rate in infants under three months old, many of whom live only a few days or hours, also the fact that there are more than a thousand still-births recorded each year. 1t is evident that we must go step further in seeking the cause and apply the remedy to the mother as well as to the child. Something should be done for her for the child's sake. if not for her own. Babies are often found i'll nourished because the mother is too poor to buy proper food for herself and means must be found to obtain this while she is nursing her baby. A healthy child is not to be ex- pected as the offspring of incorporate or underfed parents. Many mothers endanger the lives of their children by working too hard during the latter months of pregnancy and it is now 8 mortality is high among the babies -ot women who work in factories and mills. Too frequent child bearing is also a cause of debility in mother and her infant. These are matters in which charity organizations and so- cia1 workers are interested and with whom health officers should always be ready to cooperate.

WINsoR LINE WILL
 DROP PROVIDENCE.
Steamship Line That Was Founded by
 J, M. Huntineton & Go.

The Merchants and Miners Trans portation company will, according to reports, discontinue its service between Providence and Philadelphia on June IS, handling most of it's New England business from Boston. The withdrawal from Providence also includes the dropping of Fall River as one of the company's ports of call. The line was formerly the Winsor line and is still unofficially known as such.
 There is local interest in the above announcement, as the Winsor line of steamers to Philadelphia was first es- tablished in 1866 by J. M. Huntington & Co. of Norwich, Conn. In 1872 the line was sold to Henry Winsor of Philadelphia, by whom a new company was shortly afterward formed and in corporated by the Massachusetts leg islature with the title of the Boston and Philadelphia Steamship company.

The ram that has reigned as king of the deeryard at Mohegan park and an Angora goat that was added to the park livestock last week staged a fight for supremacy on Sunday afternoon that furnished quite a spectacle for a time for the many visitors who took advantage of one of the few warm Sundays so far this year to make a visit to the park.
 Something like 300 visitors were at the park during the day. Supt John Duff estimated, and possibly which ever one of the two animals started the fight counted upon showing up his rival before good crowd of witnesses.
 It was generally agreed that the ram started the trouble, by beginning to butt the goat around the yard, and that after few prods Billy Angora was fighting back
 It was also declared by number of those who stood at the ringside, outside the fence. that. the big turkey gobbler apparently assumed the duties of ref cree and saw to it that the contest ants broke in good form after each clinch. After the accepted manner of his kind, the ram assumed the aggres- siye in a number of rushes at the An gora goat, which received his charges without Gnching until he was put hors du conaeak by having one of his horns broken. With only one whole horn left to withstand the shock of the
