The meeting called last Saturday
evening to consider the moving of the
Cooperstown cemetery to q more de-
sirable location, was postponed to
next Saturday evening at Fire Hall at
O'Clock. No one having the reputa-
ton of the town at heart should neg-
lect this call. The present site of
the cemetery is q disgrace to a town
such as Cooperstown, located as it is
in a stone field, where trees, shrubs
and flowers cannot grow, and where
no one has the courage to throw away
money in the effort to make them
grow. There are locations to be had
that can be beautified and made an
honor and pride to the town and coun-
try. Does this appeal to your reason
and loyalty? If SO be sure to lend your
influence by being pr esent next satur-
day evening to decide the matter.

REFUSED TO BE VACCINATED.

Miss Laura Watkins, a young lady
employed at a store in Baltimore, was
before Justice Leech, at the Eastern
Police Station, yesterday, charged With
refusing to be vaccinated. She declined
to show her arm to Drs. J. W. Lub-
chausky and Gilman S. Evans, Of the
Health Department.
Before the magistrate, she stated that
she objected to bearing her arm to any
one who might call and represent him
self as physician. She said she was
willing TO be vaccinsted, but it must be
done by her family physician, DR.. Frank
c. Bressler.
As the law requires persons to sub
nit vaccination when health officers
call, Miss Watkins was fined zen dollars.
She was placed in charge of the station
house matron, as she did not have the
money with her. She still refused TO
be vaccinated by the Health Depart
menl physicians, stating that she
would rather 90 to jail and stay
there. A friend sent for her physician,
DR.. Bressler, and he yaccinated the
lady in the station house. DR.. Bress-
Ter offered to give Dr. Evans certif-
cate of vaccination, but DIR. Evans re-
fused it. At this juncture, DR.. Bress-
Ter became indignant, and demanded
to know from DR.. Evans why he
would not accept the certificate. DR..
Evans only replied that he would MOI
receive the paper. DR.. Bressler then
SAID he would make DR.. Evans or
Health Commission G. Hampson Jones
acknowledge the paper, but Justice
Leech settled the argument by saying
that he would accept the certificate and
dismiss the lady.
DR.. BresSler intimated that some
physicians who are vaccinating are
over-ilterested in women's arms. DR..
Evans replied that he thought DR..
Bressler was q gentleman of too much
intelligence to make such remarks.
Justice Leech asked the gentlemen to
stop the controversy, and Miss Wat
kins left the station house in a pleasant
humor.
While Miss Watkins was 10 charge Of
the matron, DR.. Evans said he would
wait to see whether she paid the ten
dollars, and he intended to follow up
the case.

Affairs in Cuba.

HAVANA, March 4.-There appears
to be little doubt that the influence and
popularity of Gomez will be sufficient
to compel the Assembly of Cuban rep.
resentatives to formally ratify his ac-
ceptance from the United States of
100000 to disband the army. A
member of the Assembly who is also
in Gomez's confidence says that the
understanding on which Gomez &C.
copied the g 100000 was that when
this sum was accepted the United
States would advance a further So
600. 600 to the Cuban army; that this
was secret clau,e in the arrange.
ment made with the Cuban chief, and
has not been divulged to the members
of the Assembly except those personal.
ly friendly to Gomez. Oue further un
Outstanding arrived at with the Ameri.
can commissioner was, it is said
by the Assemblyman. in reference to
Gomez's personal ambitions, the United
States promising to make him the first
President OF Cuban republic. Gomez
is popular with the country but not
with the Assembly or army. The
members of the Assembly are either
candidates themselves or supporters of
candidates. Gomez has but few friends
in this body likely to aid him, and to
many as Cuban dictator he would be
as Objectionable as a Spanish governor.

SPECIAL TAN FOR FIsHING.-Robert
Arnold, of Matthias Point, King George
county, Va, writes to the Baltimore
American, inquiring: "Has the State OF
Virginia a right to make fishermen pay
a special tax for fishing in the Potomac
river?"
Arnold says he has been fishing in
the Potomac for ten years, renting
shores from people in Maryland and
fishing on them, and that now they
want him to pay a special tax to do it.
Col. Thomas Hodson-after calling
attention to the fact that the Maryland
law-(Chapter 292, Acts of 1S72l-pro-
vides that no person shall fish in the
Potomac or its tributaries for shad and
herring during the season, which ez-
tends from May Is to June l, except
with license, costing three cents per
square fathom for seines and one cent
per square fathom for gill pets under
penalty ola fine of from $50 to Sl00-says
that the fishing rights are exercised by
MARYLAND and Virginia under the COM
pact of 1855, which provides, among
ether things, that all laws for the pres
eryation Of fish shall only be passed
with the consent of both States; that
Virginia could not enforce any law not
sanctioned by the State of Maryland.
Colonel Hodson SAYS that shore rights
considered to extend out TO within
hailing distance of the shore-can be
protected by the owners Of riparian
rights, but that, in his opinion, neither
MARYLAND nor Virginia can enforce any
law with regard to fishing beyond such
9 line.

WHEN DEMOCRATIC members of the
q. s. Senate were uncertain as to the
fate of the Spanish treaty in the body
of which they were members, that
President Mckinley had taken q tally OF
the members thereof and knew exactly
what they were going to do, is proved
by the fact that month before the rat
ification of that treaty, in his insrruc-
tions to the commission he sent to Ma
Mia, he said: "While the treaty has
not yet been ratified, it is believed that
it will be by the time of the arrival at
Manila of the commissioners"

SMALLPOX is so rife in Washington
that it has invaded not only the gov
eminent departments, but even the
public schools there; but, all the same,
every train and boat that leaves here
for that city is inspected for smallpox
cases. However, as the money for the
requisite expense comes out Of the U.
S. Treasury and is spent here, no Alex
andrian complains. The Virginia
towns that have quarantined other
towns in their own State should extend
the operation of their absurd restric-
tions upon travel and business to the
federal capital.
