 2,OOO of the Gin Mills.

Albany, Oct. 2.-The number ol places in New York state where in. toxicants can be sold legally was de creased by more than 2,0O0 yesterday.
 The decrease was brought about by the beginning of the effectiveness o1 the Brown amendments to the state liquor tax laws which provided that after Sept. 30 there could be only one 1ntoxicant dispensary to every 500 inhabitants in political subdivisions having fewer than 55,00o population
 Commissioner Sisson of the State Excise Commission stated that of the more than 10000 licenses issued last year 2,092 could not be renewed.

 "A report that sweaters. socks and other articles knitted for the Red Cross are being sold either to the pub- lie in shops or direct to the soldiers is being industriously and systematically circulated.

ALB1No SQUIRREL CAUGHT.
F. A. Parsons Presents Rare Speci-
 men to Museum.

F. A. Parsons Presents Rare Speci-
 men to Museum.
 The first albino specimen of any kind to be given to the Institute Mu- scum was presented yesterday in the form of a white red squirrel. It is a splendid specimen, being entirely snow-white with the exception of two little red patches on it's back. The fact that the squirrel is thus spotted makes it more interesting and rare.
 It was shot by F. A. Parsons of the H. R. Walker Co.,, near Waramaug Lake. New Preston. Conn. Besides the squirrel MT. Parsons has present. ed a very large fossil sea urchin which he dug from the ground few years ago near Conesus Lake. Liv- ingston Co.,, N. Y. The lake is more than two hundred miles from salt water, and as other fossilized speci- mems were found which once inhab- ited the ocean, it is natural to sup pose that these living creatures of ages ago which were transformed into stone, have remained buried in the ground since the period of time when the world lay submerged beneath the waters of the deep.
 These rare additions to the rapidly growing collection of the Institute will be placed on exhibition during Museum Week."
