CONISTON, England, Aug. 18.-
For the second time in two days Sir
Malcolm Campbells big silver jit-
terbug. Bluebird II, sped over the
CLASSY waters of Lake Coniston at a
faster speedboat clip than England
has seen since 1882.
The exact time awaited computa-
ton by the official timers. It ap-
peared probable Campbell bettered
l20 miles an hour, and he may have
nudged the world record of 1908.
This burst of speed. which came
after two hours of floating about the
misty surface of the lake. was ac-
complished with the old engine
which Sir Henry Seagrave was driv-
ing when he was killed on Lake
Windermere. 1t is nine years old.
The engine which Campbell will
drive for the record probably will go
in tomorrow.
Campbell said "she was doing 5000
revolutions minute, which is better
than Thursdays performance"

COLLEGE PUPILS
 GOING TO EUROPE
Americans to Study Lan- guage Abroad-Trip
 Begins June g

Arrangements have recently been completed to take group of Amer ican college students on trip to Europe for the purpose of studying language.
 Professor Fernand Vial, professor of languages at Fordham Univer- sity, will be in charge of the group which is to be sponsored by the Students International Travel As- sociation of New York. The group will sail from New York on June 23rd aboard the He de France with the first stop Le Havre, France, From Le Havre, the group will pro- ceed to the University of Grenoble high up in the French Alps. Here the students will spend four weeks of intensive study of the French language and of French civilization. This is the first time that such an opportunity has ever been offered to American students to study abroad under the direction of an American college, without paying a fee for each unit of credit given. All charges are included in the comparatively low cost of the trip
 It is hoped that this educational trip and those of the future will not only broaden the education of those participating: but that they will also tend to bring about a greater feeling of friendship among the na- tionS visited.

INFANT DEATH
 RATE VERY LOW
Services of Physicians and Nurses Credited for De-
 cided Decline

Unlike the situation existing in the early days of our country when a high percentage of the babies born died before their first birthday, a record low infant death rate was ex- perienced by Connecticut in 1887 with only Al out of every 1000 in- fants born alive failing to survive the first year, according to State- ment made by Susan P. Souther, M. D., physician In the bureau of child hygiene on the weekly broad cast of the state department of health. This record could be im- proved, however, if every mother would avail herself of the services of physicians, nurses, well child con- ferences, mothers clubs, health talks and free health literature provided by the community for teaching her how to guard the health of her child.
 These facilities to help mothers learn how te care for and safeguard the life of the young infant have been established. It remains for each mother to fulfill her duty ot her child by making full use of the help offered her.
 The infant should be taken at regular intervals to the doctor who will examine the baby to make sure he is growing normally. He will also teach the. mother how to feed the baby, what clothes he should wear, how much sleep and exercise he needs, how to bathe and care for his body and how to train him SO that he will acquire good habits. With regular medical supervision the child can be protected from dan- gerous diseases by immunization at the proper time.
 Physicians and nurses especially trained in the care of infants will prove good friends to mothers who realize that newborn infants need special care and supervision if they are to develop into healthy, happy children.

Bauby interplead their claims to $492, representing the value of a policy on the life of Jozas Tomasaitis who. died Novem- Der 28, 1889. Mary Tomasaitis claims the $492 as beneficiary; Stokes on claim of assignment; and Bauby on an attachment. The company is willing to pay the money but desires to know the proper recipient.
 The other action Is against Emily Cox Gibson, seeking the surrender of a policy on the life of Samuel Gibson, who died March 6, 1888. The company refused to pay the $l,00( face value of the policy, claiming questions in the application had been improperly answered. The de- fendant refused to surrender the policy and accept the amount paid in premiums plus interest of $153.

BINCO MEASURES
 FACING DEFEAT

Bills legalizing bingo and other games, introduced by legislators from Waterbury and elsewhere, stand little chance of adoption at the present session of the General As- sembly. The only hope for bingo advocates is that pressure of various organizations may be exerted suc- cessfully.
 One of the bills would probably pass the senate but would have little chance in the house, where Repub- lican rural legislators predominate.
 Senator George T. Chlhane of Waterbury has bill legalizing bin- go when sponsored by church or- ganizations with the proceeds going to charity.
 Rep. Daniel Mahaney has Q bill that would allow sponsorship of the game by veterans organizations and other such groups. A bingo bill was also presented by Rep. Martin Whalen of Wolcott.

|M'CU|RE GETS
 | S14S DAMAGES
City Responsible for Per- kins Avenue Accident
 Last February

Judge Miles F. McNiff today awarded Thomas Mcclure damages of, $l49.31 against the City of Wa terbury,. holding the city responsible for damages to the Mcclure car which toppled over an embankment on Perkins avenue, February 26, 1898. Failure of the city to construct a guard rail at the embankment is held as the proximate cause of the accident and resultant damages to the Mcclure car.
 Judge McNiff heard the action this week in the court of common pleas. The Mcclure car was extensively damaged when as Mrs. Eva Mc- Guire proceeded on Perkins avenue from North Main street, 1t skidded over the embankinent. The city claimed that the ice condition was responsible for the accident, and that it could not be held liable.
 Mrs Mcclure was not guilty of any negligence, in the opinion of Judge McNiff.
 "The sole proximate cause of the plaintiffs damages is found to have been the failure of the defendant to perform its statutory duty in providing sufficient fence or rail- ing along that part of Perkins ave- nue where the plaintiffs car left the road and went over the em- bankment according to Judge Mo- Mfr.
