changed. The building was bril-
liantly lighted and all availed them
selves of the opportunity to look
over this magnificent collection once
more and also study the new speci-
mems.
There was break in the electric
lights on Saturday afternoon, caused
by the falling of the derrick at Cald-
beck's new building on Railroad
street. A large piece Of Hardwick
granite, costing 500, was being
raised into position when the accl-
dent happened, and this was broken.
Luckily nobody was near enough to
get hurt, and the breaking of the
stone and the electric light connec-
tions was all the damage done.
st. Johnsbury people who get
their mail by carrier are likely soon
to have a chance to take advantage
of a new thing in mail boxes, by
which is ensured the collection as
well as the delivery of mail at the
houses. This would prove great
convenience in many instances, but
we understand that majority OF
the residents on any one route would
have to agree to take the new boxes
before the system could be put in
Postmaster Spraguc expects soon tc
he visited By representative of tht
Postal Improvement Company anC
then the citizens will have a chanc,
to decide whether the new boxc'
shall be adopted.

DIR. BULLARD TALKS ABOUT THE
FEVER.

Ii Il letter TO the Ddlly KepuDllcan
on Saturday, DR.. Bullard refers to
wha. the CALIFORNIAN Of last week
said in regard to the necessity for an
investigation into the cause for so
many cases of typhoid fever here,
and he says several things in which
the St. Johnsbury people will be
much interested. The doctor states
that in hisinvestigations since his ap.
pointment as health officer he has
found but 3S cases of typhoid fever
here, which is not an unusual num-
ber, generally considered; but the
alarm felt grows out of the fact that
eight OF the SO cases have proved
fatal, which is much larger per-
centage than usual. During the
past few years the fever has been
more or less prevalent in northeast
ern Vermont, but there have not be-
fore been so many deaths for that
number Of cases. DR.. Billiard further
says:
AS to the etiology (cause) there
are great doubts and differences oil
opinion among our medical men
That we have hundreds OF places
scattered over our village in which
the typhoid bacili can find a lodge
mcnt and a prosperous home ii
which TO raise billions of other bacili
fam.iies, by reason Of ourunsanitary
condition, no medical man doubts
AS soon as the weather moderate

The doctor invites the hearty c,

The Worlds Fair.

When Adam was boy, worlds fairs
were not thought of. They're modern
product. And the more modern they
are, the better they are.
The Columbian Exposition is the
latest and best-a long way the best.
The whole wide world has combined to
make it worthy of the nineteenth CEN
'tury and no endeavor was ever more
successful.
The Great Fair is dazzling in bril-
liancy; overpowerine in size; magnifi-
cent alike in conception and execution.
A visit to it is the privilege of life
time. and the easiest and best way to
avail yourself of that privilege is to
take the Burlington Route to Chicago.
The local agent will gladly give you
any information you stand in need of.

The Boot and Shoe Recorder Of

The Boot and Shoe Recorder Of Bos-
ton, the leading journal of that char
acter in this country, offered two
prizes for first and second best articles
upon the topic, advertising for retail
boot and shoe stores" Competition
was open to the United Estates and
Canada. Quite number entered the
contest, and among them was Mr.. E.
B. Warren of this city. The result
was announced the other day and the
vote of the judges published. Itstood:
first choice, "Sarah E. W." of New
Bedford, N. J., 1876; E. B. Warren. 11s;
second choice, E. B. Warren, SO. and
next highest 78. Thus Mr.. Warren
nearly captured first prize, and easily
got second. The lady probably got
first prize because she was lady and
lived so near the home Of that paper,
as Mr.. Warren's article seems far su
perior in every respect.
