ELEPHANTS A OREAT ACT.
Profemov Miller Arrive In Horry and
, Makes Biff Hit.
Professor Miller and his remarkable
' Itroupe ofr trained elephants got onto
tthe White Cty grounds at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and started their
performance at 6 o'clock, which was
three-quarters of an hour late. No one
liardly suspected the wonderful act
that iProfessor Miller had. The ele-
phantd, as he claims, are the fastest
moving in the world to-day. It is sur
prising to see the raipldity with which
these giants of the jungle go through
their various acts.- Professor Miller
does not allow thorn a moment of rest,
and there Is no moment where the in
terest of the spectators Is allowed to
lag. The ladles and children were
mora than delighted.
The "Mascot" parties this week
promlseto be very numerous. This
Ibeautiful horse which understands over
a thousand commands in different lan
guages is proving a great favorite
(with society people, who are coming
down in parties and purchasing the
combination ticket for twenty-five
cents, which admits to the gate, to the
ecenlo railway, the destruction of Ban
Francisco, and to witness the per
formance of Mascot.
Do not forget Speck's White City
aroUer skating bargain. A twenty-five
cent combination ticket bought at the
gate will admit one to the White City,
and entitle him or her to skates.
CONNECTICUT'S HEALTH.

Dr- J. H. Townsend, secretary of the

port for June, which sows that there
were 1,238 deaths in Connecticut in
June, or fifty-one less than in June of
Jast yar. ,
The death rate was 16.1 for large
town's, 11.8 t r small towns, and for all
Connecticut 15.1.
The deaths from infectious diseases

made arrangements for analyses, be
ginning July 1, under the direction of
Professor Conn, of Wesleyan univer
sity. Professor Conn will' have as his
assistant James A. Newlands, who had
been engaged In water analysis under
Professor Andrew Smith at Belolt, Wisconsin.
Some go up like a rocket,
And like a stick they fall;
But some, oh, gentle reader,

Bridgeport, July 16 Bridgeport won
by the narrow margin of 5 to 4 against
New Haven to-day. Two hits and three
errors gave Bridgeport a big lead of
three in the first inning, and free hit
ting increased the lead in the third.
Wade then replaced Nolte In the box.
and the changed style prevented the lo
cals from meeting his delivery. Young
O'Rourke made two errors in the eighth
that allowed New Haven to score twice,
and Sherwood threw a scare into the
crowd when he cracked out a triple in
the ninth, scoring on Connell's hit, but
the run lacked one of tying. A disa
greeable feature of the game was the
antics of some of the New Haven play
ers toward Umpire Knowlton. Hannifin
called him a vile name and the game
was called till Policeman Murphy eject
ed him from the grounds. The usual
rough-house scene followed, , but the
player finally consented to leave the
grounds. The work of the umpire was
fair, being faulty on strikes and balls,
but he was just to the visitors in his
decisions.

WIDOW OBJECTED.
Opposed Demand of $50,000 on Persia
for Murder of Husband.
Washington, July 16. In the Persian
correspondence, in the portion of the
Red Book on foreign relations, which
was made public by the state depart
ment to-day, it contained a strong pro
test addressed by Mrs. Mary Schauf
fler Labaree, formerly of Urumla, Per
sia to American Minister Richmond
Pearson, at Teheran, ag-ainst the exac
tion by the United States government
of an indemnity of $50,000 for the mur
der of her husband, Rev. Benjamin W.
Labaree, a missionary, killed on Mount
Ararat by religious fanatics. Mrs.
Labaree made the following declara
tion: "I believe that the great mission
cause to which my husband and I ded
icated our lives, and which has be
come dearer to me by the great sacri
fice I have been called upon to make
for it, may receive serious injury, if
my children and I accept the Indemnity
for this murder. The matter would not
be understood by the great mass of the
people in this district, who would in
evitably know of it, and the Persian
idea of iblood money is so different
from our civilized understanding of an
indemnity. Thus serious and lasting
injury might be dona to the mission
cause for which we have already sacri
ficed so much, that I prefer to waive
my right as an American citizen rather
than see this cause suffer."
She further protested against the size
of the indemnity, saying that while her
husband's life could not be measured in
value by the standards prevailing in
that country which fixed the life of a
Christian at 33 tomans (dollars) and
the maximum value of life of a Moslem
at 1,000 tomans, yet the disproportion
between the sum demanded In this case
with that of sums paid In similar cir
cumstances by other governments was
too great. Mrs, Labares asked that the
strongest measures be taken ..by the
United States government to see that
if any indemnity was in the end exact
ed it should not be extorted by the
Persian government from the innocent
people of the -province where the mur
der occurred.
In spite of her protest $30,000 was
actually paid to her by Persia before
the thirty days period named In the ul
timatum of the United States had ex
pired. This sum was three times
greater than the maximum ever before
paid by the Persian government for the
murder of a private person.
Minister Pearson obtained a promise
that the money should not be levied un
der any guise of special tax from the
Inhabitants of the province.
LIGHTNING.
Strips Just One Year's Growth From
Side of Tree.
S. A. Flsk, secretary and treasurer
of the Fountain Water company, and
a gang of men who were at work
about the -company's reservoir Tues
day afternoon, says the Ansorfia Senti
nel, tell an interesting story about the
pranks of a bolt of lightning which
struck a tree near where they stood
under shelter during the storm, After
a sharp snap of the lightning and the
almost simultaneous crash accompa
nying H, they noticed that a hand
some elm tree, some seventy feet high,
which stood about one hundred feet
distant from thorn, had (been stripped
almost Its entire length, the bolt evi
dently striking the tree, which was
tall and straight, fairy on the top.
The peculiar thing about the incident
was that a strip about bIk inches wide
and seven-eighths of en Inch In thick
ness, was stripped from top to bottom,
the bark on the tree falling back Into
place just as if nothing had happened,
and to all appearances the tree looked
Just as It did In Its original condition.
This piece which was stripped from
under the bark was nearly seventy
feet long, and a most remarkable
thing was the uniformity of Its thick
ness. One piece, about fifteen feet
long, which was presented at the Sen
tinel office to-day, did not vary a six
teenth of an Inch its entire longth.
As most exogenous trees have an an
nular growth, as Is shown by a cross
section of tho trunk, It .would appear
from the specimen taken from this
tree, that the lightning had peeled just
a year's growth from tho side of the
tree; which idta is further strength
ened by the uniformity of Its thick
ness.
Mr. Flsk, assisted by his workmen,
got as far up the tree as they were
able with ladders and chapped off sec
tions of the strip to preserve tor curi
osity's sake. Incidentally there Is an
old superstition that tooth-picks made
from wood stripped from a tree by
lightning are charms against tooth
ache, and several of the Sentinel's
force have souvenirs from this partic
ular tree though, of course, not be
cause they are superstitious.
A similar piece of work was done re
cently by the lightning upon a large
tree at west Haven shore, off the
Sound near the Ansantawae club
house.

market, purchases being about 20,000,
000 shares out of 30,000 deat In. The
buying covered many of the active is
sues, including United States Steel and
the grangers.
It was the absence of the real liqui
dation that gave, the bears the most
anxiety. There were plenty of indica
tions at the week-end that specula
tive liquidation had ceased.
The chief (behcSJlrry of all of the
stock market moveme.itb thus far has
apparently 'been tha interests who own
the largest amounts of the Hill stocks.
They are credited with steady liqui
dation of them on each "ibulge."
The statement of domestic exports in
June was rather better than antici
pated. There was an increase of $!,
147,000 in breadstuffa and of $1,812,000
in provisions, which includes . canned
goods, but a falling off of $5,7?6,000 in
cotton. Altogether, the total vale was
reduced $2,0S0,4l8. For the year there
'was an Increase in total exports of
$139,118,750.
