DIR. Hamilton, of the Marine Hos
pital Service, seems to be doing all
that can be done to prevent yellow
fever cases being landed in this coun-
try. He has more than once visited the
Southern coast to fsmilisrize himself
with the situation, and to secure the
co operation of the local authorities.
New Orleans seems to be maintaining
an exceptionally rigid quarantine,
aided by DIR. Finney, of
Memphis, who was appointed
to that special duty by Surgeon Gen
erAl Hamilton, who keeps himself
thoroughly posted. Memphis is the
only place of any importance that
rejects the proffered aid and resists
the authority of the Marine Hospital
Service. At the request of the Gov
ernor of Florida, as suggested by the
local Board OF Health, DR.. Hamilton
arranged for the treasury department
to assume charge Of the quarantine
station there without any
expense to the State of Florida. , A
rigid quarantine answering every pur-
pose is maintained. Still the organs
of the National Board of Health
thoughtlessly assert, and have sue
ceeded in making many people believe
that quarantine is something entirely
cut OF the line of duty for the Marine
Hospital Service. There is a perfect
understanding between DR.. Hamilton
and the Board of Health at Pensacols
and so there could be in Memphis but
for determination on the part o.
local authorities and former employees
or members of the National or State
Board of Health not to have it so
With them it is the National BoarC
of Health virtually legislated out Of
existence by the last Congress, or it il
nothing. The so.called Sanitary
Council Of the Mississippi Valley was
organized by the avowed supporters o.
the National Board of Health, whose
place they propose to fill
temporarily, at least, provided
tho voluntary contributions" come
in strong enough. The Board o.
Health of Pensacola has charge of al
sanitary affairs ip the city, rs we'll p
the quarantine outside, and the billt
are paid by the Marine Hospital Ser,
vice. The city has some resources o.
its own for sanitary purposes, but the
deficit is made up by the National
government, which backs with its
full power aad hesrty sanction the
measures for disinfectiOn, drainage
quarantine, etc., agreed upon between
DR.. Hamilton and the municipal and
State authorities at a full conference
held at Pcnssc9la last April. The
so called sanitary eoaaGit is plSyiHg
second fiddle for the National Board
Of HEALTH and has no power to do
anything except make trouble and q
big noiss. These are facts we'll enough
for the people OF Memphis 70 kBoY.

defendant"
ALEXANDER D. PIERCE, who lived in Oxford,
N. H., just across the river from Fairlee, COM
mitted suicide last Friday night by cutting his
throat. He has been subject to odd spells,
bordering on insanity, and was doubtless crazy
when he committed the act On the night in
question he rose from bed about eleven o clock
with the remark that he was going to do some
thing for his wife, who was i'll, and passed out
into the next room. Mrs. Pierce, fearing some
thing was wrong, sent her boy out to find
him and the little fellow returned with the
statement that he thought his father was dead.
The son was sent to a neighbor's for help and
investigation showed that Mr.. Pierce had gone
out into the back yard and deliberately cut his
throat with razor, making seven terrible
gashes and severing the windpipe in two
places. The deceased was a kind hearted man
and worthy member Of the Methodist church
at Fairee. The funeral services occurred at
his late home on Monday, Rev. 7. p Frost of
Bradford officiating
THE forty-ninth annual commencement of
the Vermont Methodist Seminary began last
| Sunday with the baccalaureate sermon at Trim
ity church by Rev. A. H. Wyatt, pastor of the
University church at Middletown, Conn, his
theme being Filal Sonship in the Divine I'm
age" The sermon was listened to by the large
audience with the closest attention and ELECTED
! the highest encomiums. The principals recep-
| tion to the graduating class occurred on Friday
evening. Besides the class, the faculty and in.
| vited guests were present. and the occasion was
one of great interest. The examinations took
place on Monday and Tuesday, and were highly
satisfactory to the committee. On Monday
evening occurred the piano recital by Professor
Hadley and pupils, assisted by Mrs. Corinne
Maud Cleveland, the celebrated soprano. The
large audience and the close attention showed
the appreciation of Professor Hadley and hi
work and the frequent applause and encore
showed the delight OF the audience in the vari
GUS renderings and especially in the songs o
Mrs. Cleveland. The faculty have been yer,
fortunate in securing her as teacher in voca
culture the coming year. Below is a programme

Prospects of an Exhibition at the Com
ing Boston show by the Agricultural
Department.
Attention has been called 10 the fact
that Commissioner Henderson was en-
deavoring TO obtain from all parts OF the
State specimens Of its nation resources
to be exhibited at the Boston Exposition.
The Legislature at its last session en-
cOuraged this enterprise by the passage Of
a resolution and Coy. Stephens, who was
heartily in favor of it, emphasized its pos
sible advantages in a proclamation There
was no appropriation made to insure a
representation Of Georgia at the EXposl-
ton, but the Commissioners Of AgricuI-
ture did not allow this fact TO abate
his earnest efforts to have the state rep
resented there. He has prepared to send
throughout the State TO agrlcultu-
raj clubs and TO all persons who it
is thought will take an interest IN the
matter a circular setting forth the adtan-
tages both to individuals and 70 the state
that would accrue from good EXHIBIT OF
Georgia's resources. Judge Henderson
has assurances that he could, with the
proper means at his disposal. secure such
a collection of specimens as any Georgian
might be proud 10 own at the Boston eX-
position as coming from his State. He
asks for such specimens Of ores, minerals,
stone, wood and vegetable growths as the
owners OF lands in Georgia may feel dis
posed TO send.
Each specimen viii be labelled with the
name Of the exhibitor, locality whence 1t
came, etc. The purpose of the department
is TO collect in Atlanta such a complete
collection Of Georgia products as Will in
duce the Legislature to appropriate the
small sum that will be necessary to con-
vey the display to Boston. There space
and every facility for advantageous eXhi-
bition will await it,
Mr.. Virgil Powers. Commissioner of the
Southern Railway and Steamship Assocla-
ton, has taken an interest in the enter
prise, and is now seeing if the railroads
will carry the specimens free Of charge.
Should they determine to do so, no doubt
the best collection of specimen treasures
of Georgia soil ever collected will speedily
arrive at the Agricultural Department.

plar in that city on Wednesday, says of
the two communicates competing: THE
Cgur de Lion COmmandery was the first
TO march upon the ground and began the
contest. 30 excellent was their eXecu-
ton of the tactics Of the order that all
agreed that Palestine would have to do
some very superior work to excel them.
At the expiration Of thirty minutes the
CHuF de Ldon retired, and the Palestine
came upon the ground. Their execution
was almost faultless. and the long crowd
Of spectators looked on in perfect
admiration. After some consultation, the
Judges returned and announced that the
prize had been awarded to Palestine
Commandery. In making the announce
ment Captain Little said that the judges
had found it very difficult to make de-
cisiOn. as il was doubtful If two better
drilled bodies of men had ever met upon
the same ground. The Ceur de Lion
Commandery accepted their defeat cheer
fully. and gave three cheers for their sue
