BOSTON LETTER.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE ]
The TubercuIin let.

The resolution adopted BY the United
States Veterinarian Association that
has held its convention at Des Moines.
Ia, Is by inference condemnation
If the action taken by our Legislature
last spring IN repelling the law which
required the application Of the tuber-
,ulin test to the cattle Of this state.
The national association declares that
f, phv- cal examination of animals to
determine the existence of tuberculosis
is unwise, deceitful and unwarrauted,
and that the only reliable means now
known for the detecting OF obscure
cases is the tuberculin test. II Is
further shown that IN some OF 4
states of the west the precautionary
action taken in the way OF safeguard
ing the health Of the people and pre-
venting the spread OF this disease
among cattle is much more arbitrary
and far-reaching than was the action
of the cattle commissioners OF Massa-
chusetts under the old law. Indeed,
there is no question in my mind that
the only reason why this law was re-
pealed and an obviously backward
step taken was the dissemination
of quite a number of cattle owners
TO part with animals at half their
assumed value while Outwardly of fair
appearance, though they were none
the less sufferers from this disease, as
could be proved by the tuberculin
test 1t is affirmed tuat, now that the
state paws the full value of a con-
| demned animal, the farmers have no
objection to having the test made, and
| in fact, rather invite its application
as a means of detecting diseased stock
and preventing the spread ofthe com
plaiut among the rest OF their herds.
! But if, for sanitary reasons, the
! health authorities of Boston can seize
condemn and destroy deceased food,
and the cattle commission can seize
and destroy horses infected with
CHAMBERS, and this without payment to
the owners, surely statute which
permits the owners of diseased cattle
to receive, when these are condemned
and killed, half of their presumaole
sound value extends to them much
more favorable treatment than
is given to the other class. Its
only excuse is that the ordinary course
would entail larger loss on the farm
ers than they could bear, and that the
state might share the loss as an excep-
tional contribution to. the safety OF
public health. cannot help think
ing that it will be but short time be-
fore pubic opinion in the Bay state
will compel reassertion OF the prin-
ciples that were broken down by this
cattle legislation of last spring. 1t Is
also quite possible that the consumers
of dairy products here will assert their
right to be protected from disease, and
insist upon the law now in force In
Minnesota, which compels dairymen
to assure the public of the healthful'
ness of their products by a certificate
from an inspector who relies upon
the tuberculin test.

Charlestown's grade crossings are to
be abolished. All of the railroad cross
ings which cross the thoroughfares al
various points, against which complaint
after complaint has been directed and
petition after petition praying for their
abolition presented, are at last to be
corrected by order of the superior court.
The cost of the proposed improve
meuts and constructions will exceed
the sum of 81, 1000, 900, according to
the statement of Corporation Counsel
Bailey. Owing to the extraordinary
number of corporations and individ-
uals interested, the legislative act rela-
tive to the assessment of the cost
cannot be applied, but the apportion-
ment of the expense of the work is to
be agreed upon at conference of
all interested to be held Immediately.

Hon. J. Sterling Morton, secretary
of agriculture in President Cleveland's
cabinet, came to town recently, and
registered at the Parker House. A
little later in the day he became the
guest of his kinsman, Mr.. John d.
Morton, who promptly whisked him
off to see some of the points of histori-
calinterest with which Boston abounds.
The secretary came for specific pur-
pose-and that purpose did not com
prehend any newspaper interviewing.
Politely, but firmly, Mr.. Morton de-
clined to be drawn into any discussion
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1895-10-11


The evening schools all over the
city opened recently under the most
favorable conditions. At all the
schools the registration was larger
than that of last year, but as registra-
ton does not close for some time yet,
no exact statistics can be given. The
attendance at the high school in Mont
gomery street was especially large,
nearly $500 being present Most OF
the students are graduates of some OF
the evening elementary schools, and
were admitted without examination.
In addition to the high school, there
are II elementary schools, which cor
respond to the daily grammar schools,
and which fit pupils for the high school.
The most interesting of these is the
Franklin school. 1t is interesting be-
cause it is the largest evening elemen-
tary school in Boston, or even in the
United States. The course of study in
the elementary schools, the methods
of teaching, and the rules of conduct
are very similar to those of the day
schools. There is no age limit, ex-
cept personal pride, and at the Frank
lin school, for instance, the ages
range from children of 10 to an old
colored gentleman of "A. During the
last five years, under the system of
regular courses of fitting for the high
schools, the annual attendance at the
elementary schools has increased stead
lily, and the characters of the students
have become correspondingly high.

OF political OF economic questions. The
object Of has visit is 10 attend the AL
uuai fair sud cattle shoR Oi the WOTces-
ter Northwest Agricultural Society TO
be held II AthO.. The secretary does
lot make practice Of attending al
uual fairs and cattle shows. Ii he
did there would be a long season dur
ing which lac would NO nothing else.
But this particular fair appealed very
strongly 10 him, because his aucls-
tors were identified 30 closely with
New England interests IN general,
and With the early development aud
progress OF Athol IN particular. The
secretary takes pride in having de-
scended from New England stock, bis
first ancestor IN this country having
been George Morton Of the Pilgrim
colony, VINO was tue first financial
agent in London Of that colony, aud
made the purchase OF the MayilOwer,
which brought ont the first settle
ment, George Morton himself came
over aud joined the colony IN 1923,
aud from him descended Gov. Marcus
Morton OF Massachusetts, and also
Gov. Levi p. Morton the present gov
ernor OF New York. In 1875 the town
of Athol was settled by seven families,
the heads Of two which we're Mortons
the brothers Richard and Samuel.
The descendants of Samuel, of whom
Hon. j. Sterling Morton is one, went
west, and became at once conspicuous
ly identified with the development of
that section of the Union. Aad the
sons of the secretary are at the pres
time prominent business men IN Chi
cago. The descendants of Richard
Morton, Of whom Mr.. John d. Nor
ton is one, have steadfastly remained
here. Three generations of the Richard
Morton branch Of the family Tor four
generations, counting Richard himself)
are buried in the town OF Athol.
Thereiore-nnd not at all mean In
ducement-by accepting this invita-
ton of the Worcester Northwest
Agricultural Society the secretary of
agriculture is afforded an opportunity
to visit the spot where one of his an
cestors helped to plant New Eng.
land town. The western Mortons
have always retained their love for
New England. Hon. J. Sterling Nor
I ton, first as Governor OF Nebraska
and founder of Arbor day, and subse-
/ quently as secretary OF agriculture,
has established Il national reputation,
in which the family has reason, justly,
to feel more than passing interest

lntemperance is the prolific cause OF
poverty and crime. Tens of thousands are
kept poor by drink. The money that should
be used to make wife aud children happy is
squandered on liquor, and the children, in
stead OF being sent to school, are force
into shops AMI ia tories to earn living;
girls once pure and vlrtuous are driven to
ives OF shame, and BOYS once good, become
; street loarers, thieves and murlerers.
Inr9e-iourths OF the murders and other
crimes daily committed in our cities are
ca directly OF indirectly by drink.
lhree-iourths of the criminals that fill our
!alis and penitentiaries have been brought
mere by the demon drink. Three-fourths of
me inmates Of our orphan asylums have
IeeH leit without parents care through
drink. Rev, s. NJ Lyons.

The Newest Thing out.

A poverty party i, the newest
money-raising device in Boston, in
place of church fairs and other plous
highwaymau operations to swell chart
table funds. 1t i, certainly very
amusing and entertaining to ''hold
mp Il crowd on a system of open
handed taxation, but this is the way
II is done, and the results are always
perfectly satisfactory to the church
eXcheQuer. No sooner has new
conner paid his cents admission than
the young ladies' rush at him and be-
gin to take complete inventory of
him. He is taxed cents to wear a
scarf pin, 3 cents to wear linen col
lar, while women are taxed 5 cents
for earrings, 10 cents for silk
dresses, and so on through Il
long list. Before gayly capa-
risoned youth knows it he and his
pocket money have parted company,
and the well-gowned women find out
that a poverty party" is almost
equal to encOuntering Uncle Sans
custom officers on return from
Europe. Money fritters away like
dew III the sun when the ingenuity Of
lot Of tax committee girls bears
down with system that would put
the strongest tariff to rout. The up
shot of it is the victim finds it is five
or even two cents, for the privilege Of
being clothed or drawing breath, and
in the end that he is penniless. There
is SO much fun in this sort OF taxation
it is believed the "poyertie purtie"
lately given in Boston will be imi-
tated elsewhere with equal monetary
success

A curious use for husband is report
ed from Clerkenwell, near London,
where a Mr.. Lamb and his wife keep a
small general store. For fourteen years
the firm has avoided paying taxes by
the wife's sending the husband to jail
to serve out the legal time for unpaid
taxes, while she remains at the store
attending to business. 1t is beyond
question that the new woman, who sup
ports a dead-beat husband, will find
some use for the partner of her sorrows
When he wooed her he said he would
die for her. When in trouble she asks
him to please go to Jail for her; and
he goes.

In response to a telegram from the
manager of the American line, three
engineer cadets were sent recently
from the Enterprise, the nautical
training ship now lying off Gloucester.
This exhausts all the graduate engi-
neers of the April and October
classes, leaving no more available at
present. AS result of the constant
demands for graduate cadets the com
missioners are highly elated. 1t means
u marked evidence of the appreciation
of the Massachusetts boys on the
American line, which has now on duty
thirteen cadets of the engineer class
and four of the seaman class The
American line has had time to try the
men the ship has sent them and their
renewed requests for more cannot be
construed otherwise than as compli-
ment to the training the boys receive
ON the Enterprise.
