HIS EXCELLENCY ! HOME FROM FAIR
Returns With Party After Dedicating Exhibit of Native State

Hartford, Conn, May 2.-tUP)- Gov. Baldwin returned to the state Capitol today after opening Con- necticut,s incompleted exhibit at the New York Worlds Fair.
 Gov. Baldwin, former Gov. Wil- bur l.. Gross and New Haven Mayor John w. Murphy were speakers at the dedication of the states exhibit, which is part of the New England section at the fair grounds.
 The governor, officials of the New Haven Advertising club, and mem- bers of the Laurel club, special group of legislative newspapermen, were taken to the fair in a special train on New Haven" day.
 Thousands of other Connecticut residents followed in other special trains and returned home early to- day after more than 12 hours at the fair.
 Provided with dimes wrapped in cellophane to pay Long Island rail- road charges, many of the Connecti- cut party found themselves stuck | in the turnstiles at Flushing be- cause the sticky dimes refused to drop into slots.
 On the way back last night, the dimes were dropped into attend ants hands rather than into turn stile slots. There was no delay this time.
 Gov. Baldwin,s party was picked up at Stratford, the executives home town. Five state policemen accom- panied him on his tour of the fair grounds.

AERIAL STAR IS
 BADLY INJURED

Boston, May 2-(UP)-There was the climactic roll of drums as beau- tiful Fritzi Bartoni started the headlong plunge that ends her aerial act.
 It was AT feet to the tanbark and the customary safety net was miss ing, but the 15,000 spectators, fami- liar with the finesse of circus acro- bats, knew that somehow her fall would be broken.
 Even when she failed to catch her heel on the trapeze, they thought that rope which they could not see would save her.
 But she shot downward, landed on one shoulder on the sawdust- strewn floor, and her slim body buckled into a groteSque sprawl.
 As women's screams echoed through Boston Garden, Lombard Bartoni, himself a disabled aerial star, ran to his wife and bent over her. A doctor came and gave first aid, and the victim was hospitalized for multiple fractures of the left thigh and internal injuries. Physi- cians believed she would recover.

 "This expenditure" said Alderman DuBois sharply, lis far more neces- sary than that for a few toy fire engines, as we did only few months ago."
 Alderman Walker, who is mem Der of the fire board and has been influential in having new apparatus purchased retorted to Alderman Du- Bois: Some members never took the trouble to go inside firehouse." "
 Just then a fire engine from head uuarters went by the City Hall to answer an alarm, and a Democrat alderman said in stage whisper: "There goes one of the toy fire en- zines

the average for recent years.
 Although the cumulative death rate for the first quarter of 1889 among the policyholders was per- cent above the record low rate ob- served in the corresponding period of 1888, nevertheless it is actually the second lowest on record, and is 69 per cent below the average for the first quarter in the last ten years. This improvement in nor tality among the policyholders, to- gether with similar government re- ports from New York city and 86 large cities of the country, has led the statisticians to forecast a period of continued good health in 1889 based on the health record of the first quarter which is usually a re- liable indication of the death rate for the full year.
 Better mortality among the In- duStrial policyholders was experienc- ed for the first three months Of 1889 than for the corresponding period of 1888 in the principal com- municable disease of childhood, ex- cept whooping cough cough, and also in tuberculosis, diarrheal conditions diseases of the puerperal state, sui eide, homicide, accidents Gall forms combined), and also automobile fa- talities in particular. On the other hand, somewhat higher rates were experienced in 1889 than in 1888 fo1 influenza, cancer, diabetes and dis eases of the heart and coronary arteries.
