SOME REASONS WHY.

Why we should have the street
sprinkler performing without delay.
Because it costs money to have dust
blowing about. 1t destroys goods
In the stores, makes work there and
IN private houses to keep it wiped
OH; destroys the clothing of pedes-
TRANS and drivers, and increases the
laundry list; gets into our eyes and
produces irritation, leading US to
need the tender and dear services of
OF an occulist; permeates our lungs
with i'll effect; spoils our tempers
and makes us ashamed to meet
strangers visiting in town; lessons
our capacity for doing good work
in our various callings, because we
have to stop and fight the dust :;
makes every individual swallow
more the regulation peck; and in
fact is an adominatiCn not to be tol.
Grated at the end of the century.
We are not to be left years behind
the times, so the sooner some practi
cal arrangement for getting our
streets sprinkled is arrived at, the
better for all concerned.

THE sITUA TION IN THE Asst.

Matters do not appear 10 have
progressed very fast between China
and Japan, and the other powers
watching the game, ready to take a
hand in at any moment. 1t is some
what difficult to arrive at just how
things stand, for, as some one has
said, "the heather Pecu is Chinelia,"
and Japanis not very communica'
tive. 1t seems, however, that Russia,
Germany, France and Spain have
joined in protest against the ratih.
cation ofth treaty, and it is believed
that Great Britain has secret I'M
Outstanding with Japan, to their
mutual advantage, compact into
which it has been hoped to draw the
United States. Japan refuses to
comply with the wishes OF the Con-
tinental powers, and intends to try
and hold the position her valor has
won. 1t is also said that England
and Italy will oppose the passage of
Russian, German or French warships
through the Suez Canal, if such yes
sells should avowedly be dispatched
for the purpose ofcoercing Japan.
Under the treaty, unofficially out
lined, the Chinese acknowledge hui
initiating defeat. They pay their
conquerors 200o0o,0O0 taels, or
$3.50, 100000 in gold. They give up
the magnificent island Of Formosa
and the Pescadores, a part of Shing-
King 1.-THE Liao-Tung peninsula), |
ackno Wedge the permanent indie
pendence OF Corea and submit to the
extra territorial rights Of Japan in
China, while surrendering the same
rights in Japan. The money indem-
nifty is to be paid in six annual in
stalments. There are in the treaty
a number of commercial clauses
which will greatly benefit Japan.
Corea, it is said, will proceed to
demand an indemnity from China for
sending her troops to Corean terri
tory when the government had not
called for them. Poor China is
having a hard time Of it, but if her
trlbulations teach her lesson, she
will be all the better in the course of

A RBOR DA Y,

We trust the intention of this day
may be remembered by all our
townspeople. Trees add more to
the beauty Of a place than fine build
ings, and a love for them should be
natural in our hearts. There is al.
ways some place we can plant an
other tree, which will stand when
we are gone, and spread its kindly
green shade over other generations.
To this end choice should be made
OF long lived trees for setting out and
then the trouble taken will be repaid
for long period.

A plan full of possibilities for good

where vacant city property is appor-
toned out for farming purposes to
the unemployed. The applications
have been numerous, and a good
many have begun work on their lots
and early vegetables have been plant

adopted in every place where there
is want from lack of work. A writer
in the Toronto Week recently urged
the introduction of the plan in that

LAST CHANCE,
Will Leave st. Johnsbury on
SATURDAY, MAY IL.
BY DR.. SPROULE, B. A.,
English Specialist in Chronic
Diseases.

During the past three weeks spent
in st. Johnsbury a great many per-
sons have called upon us for treat
ment, and we are pleased to say a
very gratifying measure of success
has attended our efforts in their be-
half.
With the help of the Almighty, we
have been enabled to carry on the
good work, and effect many almost
marvellous cures. Our cured patients
are our advertisement. They feel
grateful for their cures, and tell their
friends and advise any who may be
sick to come and see US. This is one
of the chief causes of our Offices being
crowded to OVERLOOKING. AS every
patient Offering is subjected to a
thorough examination, we can only
see a limited number daily, hence the
fact of so many going away last
week without seeing us. We slight
nobody.
Since our arrival in st. Johnsbury
we have already cured a large num-
Der of hitherto supposed incurable
cases. Many came to US thinking
they could never again enjoy well
day, and are now rejoicing in perfect
health and strength. These have
given US records of their cures in their
own words which can be examined
by any DESTROYS to do so, at our
offices in the Avenue House.
Appended are few samples of the
cures.

Low SHOES,

Three years ago ladies low shoes were
worn only during the warm months of
the summer, and high button or laced
shoes the rest of the year.
Now large proportion of ladies wear
low shoes the year around, with pair
OF overgaiters for the cold weather.
By so doing the extra expense of high
shoes is avoided, and the ankles are bet
ter protected against cold and damp by
the cloth covering Of the overgaiter than
by the kid of the boot tops.
An Oxford that we sell for 81 rs, costs
$500 in high boot of same style. A
low shoe that we sell for $3.50, costs
$500 in the high boot.
We therefore have health, economy and
good looks in favor of the Oxford.
This year. in view of the increased use of
and demand for low shoes, we have put
in large and better line than ever
before of Oxfords and shall be always
glad to show them.

Glad that summer comes to save
From the winter dearth.

THE BULL FIGHTERS ARRIVE
Captain Tarin and His Assistants Came
Yesterday
A Huge Ring and Amphitheater to Be Con.
structed at Agricultural Park for
Next Sundays Sport

The bull.hghters have arrived. The
small boys may now gaze on them undis-
turbed without the haunting fear that
they will be requested to pungle up the
price OF ticket, and thoy may let their
eyes fall on the famous men to rest IN
peace.
Captain P. c. Tarin and Senior Diaz
are the leaders of the band and have
brought their followers up to give an
exhibition next Sunday at Agrlcultural
park grounds. A Herald man found
Captain Tarin and the gentleman found
time to answer some questions that may
be of interest to the Herald readers.
at is only in response to repeated in
vitations that We have come here nc all,
said Captain Tarin. '''We have trave led
all over Mexico with the same company
of fighters that we now have. giving eI-
hibitions everywhere. There is M cruelty
to the bull if the game is properly played.

sible to procure. An amphitheater is now
being built that will seat 5000 people, and
IN addition we shall be able to use the
great grand stand that is already out
there. In San Bernardino the audience
we're composed largely of ladies, and we
expect to be equally fortunate in drawing
out the fair sex here. 1t Is sport that
any lady may witne without having her
finer sensibilities shocked in the slightest
degree. and for children it is an instruc-
tive as we'll as an amusing thing to see.
| can imagine no spectacle that would
appeal TO the average child as would a
bull fight.
Besides the spectacle of bull fighting,
there will be the exciting bull riding that
was such pronounced success at the
San Bernardino fiesta. There will also
be number Of skilled vacqueros who
will give an exhibition of throwing the
lasso and of catching the bulls for the
purpose of putting on the rope saddle that
is used to ride the bull with Besides
this, they viii! give some idea of how they
can ride. and this will not be the least
interesting part of the programme"
Captain Tarin is q bronzed man of
about SO years OF age, and has been in
the business for almost his entire life
time. His assistants are all skilful bull
fighters. and there is no doubt that they
will give a most exciting as we'll as in
structive exhibition. The harmlessness
of these contests will com mend them to
the ladies. and the amount of eXcitment
that can he gotten out of one bull should
amply satisfy the more callous man.

Business Review

Mr.. R. W. Burnham, local manager for
r. G. Dun & Co., furnishes the follow
ing:
The volume of September business con-
tinues to run lighter than was antic j.
pated. Saturday was brisk day in an
otherwise dull week. Jobbers report or
ders for future delivery good, but light
immedite demand.
Local wholesale firms are showing enter
prise in pushing their representatives
into territory heretofore untravelled by
them. The Alhambra Shoe company is
putting in new machinery to meet re-
quirements of increasing business. Roll
ing mills report orders booked several
weeks in advance.
Stagnation continues to characterize the
dried fruit market. Buyers refuse to load
up in advance Of requirements of trade
and any attempt to force the market
only tends to denoralize values. In can
ned goods there is only light jobbing
trade at present, but packers look for in
creased demands in October.
The cooperation Of the oil producers
has caused much bette: tone in the oil
market and stiifenng of prices.
There has been but one failure in the
past week. with liabilities of $500 and
nominal assets $500.
