Coming From Numerous New England Points in Their Own Cars on October 12th—Then by Boat From New Lon- don to Greenport—En Route to Atlantic City Convention ——— Plans for a novel trolley trip have been made by the New England Street Railway club which will make the Norwich system the focal point for its officers coming from various points in, New Hngland enroute to a conven- tion at Atlantic City during the week of October 12th. One of the experi- mental cars which will be used before the trip starts is expected to come from Providence on Friday as far as Central Village, going from there up through Massachusetts. It is the plan of the officers of the roads to use cars from their own roads on the first stage of the journey which will bring them through Norwich and then to New London on Sunday, Oc- tober 12th. The next day they are to take a special steamer which the Long Island railway provides. This will take them from New London to Greenport, L. I, and from there they go on to Atlantic City by special train, pass- ing through the Pennsylvania tunnel. The officials will come from Pitts- fleld, Springfield, Zrattleboro, Port- land, Me., Nashua, N. H., New Bedford, Providence, Boston and Worcester. The plan makes necessary some test- ing of types of trucks that can be used on the lines over which the var- lous kinds of cars will have to travel, and it is for the purpose of test that the cars will be sent over the lines in advance. The trip will serve to show the local prominent in trolley road affairs and will at the same time be an interest- ing demonstration of the extent to which trolley travel has been devel- oped in New England and show how these lines reach all sections of the territory with this easy method of local travel.

The large piece of granite to be used as a cover to the Osgood mausoleum in Yantic cemetery was transferred from the freight yards to the cemetery | Wednesday on a truck, the city steam roller being used to draw the heavy load. The great slab of granite weighs eight or nine tons and was too much of a load for horses to dra: It i even necessary to put ashes in front of the roller to prevent its wheels from slipping. The piece of granite was brought here from Barre, Vt., and two days were taken up unloading it. On account of the time required to the load along the trolley line the trolley company had cars each side of the obstruction to transfer passen- gers.

On Sun- BIRTH REGISTRATION. State Board of Health Secretary Calls Attention to Its Importance, In connection with his August re- port Secretary J. H. Townsend of the state board of health calls attention to the importance of maintaining com- plete birth records in the towns. He sa The registration of births is a mat- ter of great importance to the indi- vidual and to the community. £ have a good midwifery law in state, which aims to provide that none but competent women shall engage in this very important occupation. One uufortunate result of our law, how- ever, is, that many unintelligent wo- men, who can not secure a license, practice surreptitiously, mostly among the foreign population, and do not reg- ister their births for' the obvious rea- son that by so doing they will fur- nish incriminating evidence against themselves, and the parents of the children do not understand the im- portance of such registration, ‘or do not know of the requirement. Reg- istrars should make every effort to secure the birth record of such chil- dren. This is one of the ways in which women’s clubs and settlement workers can be of great public ser- vice in instructing parents in the im- portance of registering their offspring and seeing that it is done. The clergy whose work is in a parish made up of a foreign-born population, can also be of much assistance. Some of the reasons why births should be registered are: That for governmental and identification pur- poses the birth may be a matter of official record; that the age of school children may be definitely known, mak. the proper enforcement of school lines to a number of men_ Campbell | | sftion a forum for the cause of univer- Youth Must Be Served with good, wholesome, appetiz- ing food.

To Interest England and Germany in San Francisco Expesition. Washington, Sept. 17..—Colonel Roose- velt may be the special envoy of the United States to England and Ger- many on the San Francisco exposition. It became known tonight that while no formal tender has been made to Colonel Roosevelt, prominent Califor- nians identified with the exposition had suggested to tae administration that the former president might be per- suaded to go to Loondon and Berlin be- fore he sails next month for South stated on good authority also President Wilson and Secre- ary n approve the ieda, but are withholding a formal offer until they know the outcome of che negotiations now being conducted in Europe by J. V. F. Skiff, director general of the Panama-Pacific exposition with a view to obtaining support there for the ex- position. It may be thaj Mr Skiff will not complete his negotiations before October 4, when Colonel Roosevelt is due to sall, but the tentative plan is to have Mr. Roosevelt designated as the emissary of the United States gov- ernment. The interest of the adminis- istration in securing forelgn participa- tion is not alone to celebrate the open- ing of the canal to ecivilization, but to make of the Pacific-Panama expo- sal peace. BALCONY COLLAPSES DURING A PARADE. One Man Killed and Five Other Per- sons Seriously Injured. Cleveland, Sept. 17.—Just as the last section of the military parade of the Perry centennial celebration was pass- ing, an improvised balcony outside a Chinese restaurant on Superior ave- nue, near Sixth street, collapsed and fell on the crowd on the sidewalk be- low tonight, instantly killing one man and seriously injuring three other men and two little girls. The crowd at that point was seeking shelter from the rain in the doorway of a saloon beneath the restaurant and many were standing directly un- der the electric sign which formed one of the supports of the balcony. Sev- eral others in the crowd were cut and bruised by the bricks which fell when the supports of the sign gave way. A parade in which members of mili- tary, patriotic and fraternal organiza- tions took part concluded today’s pro- gramme of the Perry centennial cele- bration.
