us eyer an example of one Of the most amia-
BILE, devoted and exemplary characters faith
full and Jealous in the performance Of every
duty committed to his trust, which Is well

void and sadness in our hearts we rejoice in
the example lie hath left us to be faithful to
our calling,
Resoloed;' That we tender the family Of the

VACCINATION OF CHILDREN. John
s. Fulton, secretary Of the State Board OF
Health. is arranging to carry out the order
recently adopted BY the board for general
vaccination of all persons who have not yet
been vac,natcd. On Saturday last he In
structed members of local bOaIds Of health to
proceed with the work, and yesterday he
sent to the Board of School Commissioners
of each county circular calling attention to
the necessity of proper vaccination.
"The vaccination law Of Maryland does
not" he says, produce such degree of i'm.
munity to smallpox as lis terms intended.
The sense Of security which the practice Of
public vaccination induces is delusiye, and,
therefore, dangerous. The popular tendency
to construe all law In such way that its
purpose may be evsded is we'll illustrated in
the Interpretation too often put upon the
words duly vaccinated'
"A child whose arm has been scariied and
some virus ~ introduced can not, from any
standpoint of law or medicine, be said to be
duly vaccinated, since the act contemplates
definite result immunity-which is known
to follow, not the operation, but the vaccine
disease"
In order to Improve the quality Of the
vaccine service in the state, DR.. Fulton has
offered correct form Of certificate for &C.
ceptance by the public school teachers,

JOHANNESBURG, April 15.-During
the early part of the week a surveying
party went out to locate and survey for
a short road leading into the Panamint
country. The pass through which the
Southern Pacific has survey was
chosen and the stakes We're set for
the new road. This route has the
advantage Of an easy grade, short
ening the distance by several
miles, and 1t will require a COM
paratively small amount Of money to put
the road in good shape. The latter item
is to be appreciated during these times
of Mckinley prosperity.
Two parties outfitted here the first of
the week for prospecting trip to the
Panamint, and third party came in
for provisions. returning as soon as his
team was rested. Wonderfully wide
lodges are reported as being fonud there,
and some very rich stringers.

The corral is to be SOx12O feet, with stalls

This mine has been closed down for a

The King Solomon mine has made an

Rates on Lemons

RIVERSIDE, April 16. - The lemon
shippers are not particularly charmed
with the recent reduction in eastern
freight rates of that fruit, for the rea-
son that the concession carries with it
a string which spoils all the good that
a reduced rate could possibly give. The
string consists in a rule of the railroad
companies which compels the shipper to
load not less than 10000 pounds in each
car in order to get the rates. In the
first place, such a load in a car shuts
out the ventilation, and, in the second
place, the great bulk of the lemon ship
ments are made up of part carloads
which are put in with orange shipments.
In the latter case, when the shipper loads
part lemons and part oranges, he does
not get the reduced rate on lemons.
Taken as a general proposition, the re-
duced freight rate, of which so much
was expected and about which so much
has been said, does not benefit,the lemon
shipper of this valley to any very great
extent. 1t is not the boon that the rail-
roads would have the unintiated believe
1t to be to the man who has lemons to
sell. The new rate may be all right in
some places, but here it is failure.
