said of them that they can drive through
the whole of Brattleboro where they 1.-Two,
and on beyond as far as their swift horses
will take them without meeting siu-
gle person whom they cannot call by name
nor whose greeting they do not return. Gov.
Fuller has been for 20 years vice president
Of the E,tey Organ company, and supplies
nearly all Brattleboro with employment
upon these instruments. Mrs Fuller was
tho daughter Of Deacon Jacob Estey. known
all over New England for his inventions
and enterprise.
Gov and Mrs. Fuller are curiously met
ropoltan They have formed the habit of
travel, and to them a trip to California or
Europe means no more than ring at the
telephone bell and an order for the carriage.
At present they are at the mdwinter far,
where the governor has the finest and most
curious collection OF tuning-turAs III the
world on exhibition.
Mrs Fuller is Il very easy going, and Mt

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION

md eight hundred and ninety -four, as Arbur
Day.
our people, and especially the teachers and
scholars of our public schools are urged TO so
observe the day that its results may be felt
with each succeeding year.
The formation of village improvement socie-
tics, in the smaller rs well ~ tue large com
munities, will do very much toward making
our state yet moro pleasant, attractive and
healthful.
Nothing is more prciudicial to the material
interests of the State than the destruction of
our forests, while nothing is more conducive
to the beauty Of the landscape, the charm of
he home, or to the future value of the soil,
han the judicious planting Of trees and shrub
berry.
The cultivation of forests extensive, far
sighted agriculture become in many
states settled policy that our citizens would
do well to emulate.
Bare slopes and hll-tops parched and dry
in the hot summer sun, would thus in time, be
again covered with the growing vegctition,
which would shelter and sustain the lcsscning
rills that feed our failing streams; while the
wanton fire and careless axe should be guard
ed against, the care and protection of the
flower, plant and tree encouraged, that, in our
waving pines the insignia ana lIdultlDnS WIN
which our State has come down TO us, may be
porpetuated to later generations.

Transportation Rates for the Annual
Gathering Fixed at One Cent Mile.
F. Z. Perkins. chairman of the committee
on transportation, and l.. c. Grant, treas
urer of the State Fircmen' S association,
went to St Alba1s Friday and met Cen
trail Vermont railroad officials with refer
ence to transportation rates to the State
firemens tournament at Bennington July
IS and 10. a rate of one cent a mile each
way for firemen and bands in uniform was
secured, with half fare for the general pub
lie. By request of some of the officers
MessrS. Perkins and Grant also conferred
with the railroad people about rates to the
meeting of the National association of fire
engineers, to be held in Montreal, August
Hi. The Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk railroads have already promised half
fare and it is probable that the New Eng
land railroads will make similar rate.

TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.
Eighteen Head Have Been Killed After
Tests with Koch's Lymph.

Eighteen head of fine Jersey cattle on the
Doseris estate of Charles II. Pratt, near
Glen Cove, l.. l., have been killed because
they had developed tuberculosis. The dis
ease was found in the cattle by the aid of
the Koch lymph test administered by Frank
A. Rich, State Veterinarian of Vermont
and instructor in veterinarian diseases in
the University Of Vermont of this city.
Prof. Rich has had several cows isolated
and he will associate with them two Of the
worst cases developed by the test He will
inoculate healthy cattle with the lymph and
they will be turned in with the diseased
ones. This will be done to demonstrate
whether or not the lymph is a sure prevent
i've of the disease Another interesting test
will be the incubation Of diseased cattle
with the lymph to learn if tuberculosis in
cattle is durable, and il so, at what stages
of the disease cure can be effected.

NO MORE CHlNAMEN.
Only Merchants Doing Business Here in
Their Own Name to be Admitted.


Their Own Same to be Admitted.
Attorney General Olney has just rendered
an opinion which, when put into execution,
will make it still more difficult Tor China
men to obtain admission to this country
and n chance for them TO practice deception
less possible. He holds that Chinanan,
in order to be a merchant, must do bust
ness in his own name. The ruling will
practically prohibit Cinnamon who have
gone out of the country from returning.
There have been none other but so-called
Chinese merchants admitted since the Geary
act became a Law, but under the former IN
depreciation of the law any Chinaman finan-
cinlly interested in any business was consid-
cred to bea merchant, and as such entitled to
enter the country 1t has been tho custom
of Chiuamen to assume business name,
which they say they do for luck when enter
ing business. As Illustrative of it, Charley
Wau Hang will take for his business name
Charley Sing If he takes in Az partners,
the fire name would be changed similar to
the American custom, to Charley sing a
Co., or Charley Sing, Bling Bong a Co.
Under the former regulations they also had
an opportunity to deceive the government
officials by reorganizinS or admitting new
partners into a company ana, III thlS way,
get these partners into the country. Chihese
firms frequently took in new partners but
the customs officials could not always tell
whether the transaction was honest or not.
The new ruling will simplify the law and the
duty of customs officers great deal
The opinion of Mr.. Olney follows;
The Honorable the Secretary Of the TREASURY
Sir-I have the honor to acknowledge yours
of the Sd inst, in which my opinion Is request
ed upon the question whether member OF
Chinese co-partncrship, whose name uoeS not
form "a part of the firm under whlch the CO.
partnership business is carried on can leave
the United States and return thereto as q
merchant under section of the act approved
November B. 1893 amending the act approved
May g. 1892 entitled An act TO pruAlpN the
coming of Chinese persons into tho ohlteu
States"
Section 2 OF the act referred to defines a
merchant in the following Language: "A mer
chant is person engaged in buying ana sell
ing merchandise al a fixed place or business,
which business is conducted in his name, ana
who, during the time he claims TO be engaged
as merchant, does not engage ia lile per
Torrance OF any manual labor, except such as
is necessary in the conduct oil ms business as
such merchant"
This requirement that merchant must con-
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1894-04-26

duct the business in his own name can have
but one purpose, TO wit: That he who Is a mei-
chant in fact shall also he known to be such
by the parties with whom no deals and by the
public generally. That purpose could readily
he defeated if il were permissible to conceal
name or under the disguise Of a Go"
am, therefore, OF the opinion that a Chinese
person docs not bring himself within the stat
utOry definition of merchant unless he con-
ducts his business either in his own name or
in firm name OF which his own is II part.
Respectfully yours,
RICHARD OLNEY,
Attorney General.

The fact that four republican senators in

democrats to defeat the bill providing for a
salary of $15, 600 in place of $50 900 or so

picious, in view of the statement that Tam

OF the Srnto to allow tho people of the

considerations. In the first place it is sure
proof that no attempt is being made to
