Over a Volcano.

AT the school tor health officers in Bur-
lington Thursday, the first business was
the discussion of the paper Of the relation
of annual diseases to the public health read
by DR.. G. W. Fisher Wednesday evening.
1t was discussed by DR.. G. w. Peck, of
Brandon, who introduced the following res
olutions:
"Whereas, tuberculosis is germ disease
and contagious from one member of the
family or community to another through
the floating of the dried sputa in the air !;
and whereas, the common people are as a
rule ignorant of the fact; therefore,
"Resolved, That it is the duty of the State
Board of Health to circulate the necessary
knowledge OF the facts pertaining to the con-
tagiousness of the disease, either by lectures
in all the large towns of the state or by
publishing and circulating literature upon
the subject.
"Whereas, We as a convention believe
that tuberculosis is communicated to the
human family through milk, cream and
meat, therefore,
"Resolved, That it is the duty of the
state to take such action in the matter as
will cause the destruction of all tubercu-
lar animals within the borders OF the
state and also establish careful in
spection Of all meat, butter, milk, and
cream sold in the markets"
DIR. Peck, in discussing the subject, de.
clared that Vermont was over smould-
ering volcano. DR.. Grout, of Waterbury
also discussed the resolutions, agreeing
with DR.. Peck.
The resolutions were referred to com
mittee consisting of DR.. Peck of Brandon

ing some of the stirring scenes OF the late
war on that island Also of seeing TOR the

shaking and Pickering of the pictures SO as
to entirely destroy the pleasure OF looking

Optograph. So life, like in movement are
the pictures shown by these machines that

of Mr.. Frank l.. Bugbee, principal OF

ing the time that he has been here the
school has steadily gained in excellence
until it ranks now among the lest in the
state, and it is generally felt that Bellows
Falls has never had m IRE scholarly man

Peasant Shoes for the Mountain Girl

OF all the novel things to be seen in the
mountain girls outfit, says the New York
Herald, the oldest OF these will surely be
her pair of wooden peasant shoes. Just
fancy it! 1t has been cherished as dead
secret, but it's out at last. The girl that
goe, to the mountain lakes must go tramp
ing along damp trails, and so che is going
to wear peasant shoes, for they're LOT
more comfortable than heavy boots and
goloshes Only one shop in town imports
them, and its proprietors have made q
small fortune already, tor they cost but 8
few cents on the other side, and here they
sell at SIS pair. There is lot OF fun in
learning to walk in them. One must place
the heel on the ground first, else they sliI
off, but that only makes it the jollier, ant
before the season is half over we may ex
pect to hear from the Adirondacks lot o
interesting things about the swell girls
"Klumpen" club.

Case of S. c. johnson.

The case Of S. G. johnson, recently of
Mortified, has attracted much attention
not only in Vermont, but throughout New
England, and to some extent through the
country. 1t will be remembered that he
was expelled from the ministry and men,
bership of the Methodist Ep scopal church
at session of the Vermont conference last
April; this was done under charge OF
immortality with specifications of dishonesty
and lying.
Mr.. johnson appealed the case, and the
appeal was heard this week at Bromfeld
street church, Boston. The appellate court
is known as a judicial conference and is
composed of the 'tTriers of Appeals" from
three conferences conveniently near that
from which the appeal is taken. In this
instance eighteen men out OF possible
twenty-one responded to the summons, be-
ing from the New Hampshire, New Eng
land and Southern Conferences. The ap-
| pellant has the right OF challenge but did
not exercise it; one of the men voluntarily
withdrew, having formerly been member
of Vermont conference, and being con-
nected by marriage with one Of the coun-
sci for the church.
Bishop Mallalieu presided and Rev. F
w. Lewis of Bellows Falls was elected sec.
rotary. The appellant had for counse
Rev. T. N. Granger OF Vermont confer
ence, probably the ablest ecclesiastical
lawyer in that body; DR.. S. F. Upham 0
Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, N
j., and DR.. T. B. Medley of the Philadel
phia conference, known as the ablest par
Humanitarian in Methodism if not in thu
country. The Vermont conference as re
spondent was represented by W. 4
Davenport, w. M. Newton OF Montpelie
Seminary and DR.. T. P. Frost Of Newark
N j.
The hearing began Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock and continued until ocloc
Friday afternoon with only necessary int er
missions. The record of the evidence wa
thoroughly canva,sed; DR.. Medley in pre-
senting the case OF the appellant spoke, i
all, over five hours, making am'st abb
plea, but the result of the hearing was tina
the action of the Vermont conference wa
unanimously sustained in every particular
| and its verdict therefore stands.
