Discovery of the theft of the ornaments which were placed about the statue of the great naval hero was made by a watch Lan in the old state House who immediately notified the Bureau of City property. The theft of the thick links which arc valued at several Hundred dollars created a sensation among Tho a in charge of Independence Hal who feared that if thieves were bold enough to desecrate the statue of Commodore Barry they would perhaps go further and attempt to remove other valuables from the edifice.

Meeting by Stephen Coleridge a a. Chief Justice of England a brother of Laron c Ole Ridge and a grand j no a hew of the famous English poet. Sam i used Taylor Coleridge. Air. Coleridge has been prominent in the a a English anti vivisection movement for Many years and is considered to be one of the greatest exponents of the crusade against the torturing of animals for. Scientific purposes. A sneaker throughout the world he said thousands have enlisted themselves in the anti vivisection crusade and the movement has Ahmady begun to make itself Felt. Or of deride had not advanced far in Hie set speech when lie was inter erupted by questions from persons in the Audiene wh6 desired a definite statement of his views on the use of serum in Tjie treatment of disease. In answer or. Coleridge declared that the two a of the a Vurns was not attended in most inst a Cess with fro beneficial results. A if ten of twelve years ago a dog a tortured and something Good obtained then we should use that Good. It the production on serum is not attended with a Rue to or suffering to animals and of serum is useful then there is no reason a not to use if. But has serum been of any value to it lie medical profession a statistics How that it has been of very Little if any value.

Coleridge declared diphtheria anti toxin was introduced in 1894, and that since that period the mortality from diphtheria hits been greater per million thaw it was Between 18t9 and when the Setum was not com e rain g the inoculation method by which a few germs of the disease is administered As a curative or preventive. Was it lot possible that a virulent epidemic of the East might result the speaker said he did not care to answer the question j a what effect has anti vivisection and anti serum movement had on disease in England a Type speaker was asked. The answer was that the death rate from disease for the cure of which Antitoxin and denims Are administered Aie materially increased while a corresponding decrease is noticed in the mortality from diseases not so treated administered cancer germs and have caused this disease in 50,000 animals but at the same time assert that the animals have experienced no pain from the disease. A a their argument strikes me he said a was being rather specious. In the first place they have either not Given the disease to the animals in which event their experiments have no value or they have Given the disease and caused suffering. The animals must have suffered if Thev had a taper because our experience with Truman beings shows that this disease is attended with great pain.
