surprises" said young doctor who
does considerable work on the lower
east side. but sometimes it seems not.
For instance. yesterday morning when
l called on an old woman patient in a
big tenement down town | found she
was dying. and | was shocked to see
lying asleep close beside her on the
narrow bed young girl of about Is.
81 aroused her at once and explained
to her that her grandmother was with
In a few minutes of death. thought
naturally that she would jump out of
her unpleasant position, without think
ing long about the manner of her
jumping. But l fooled myself She
just glanced at the old lady and shook
off my hand sullenly and muttered
You lemme 'lone; then she turned
over to go to sleep again without NOV
Ing away an inch.
"The rest Of the family went on with
their chattering and wailing, and when
l left the house after the end had come
to the grandmother the girl was still
sleeping there, refusing to have her
morning nap disturbed, and somehow
my system was considerably Jared by
the thing."-New York Commercial

The Vaudeville Theater.

Sometimes the vaudeville theater Is
an individual and independent enter
prise; more often 1t belongs to a circuit.
The patronage, expenses and receipts
are enormous. One circuit will speak
for all. 1t has theater in New York,
one In Philadelphia. one in Boston. and
one in Providence, and they give no
Sunday performances, and yet these
four theaters entertain over 100000
people every year. give employment to
$50 attaches and to $500 actors.
Four thousand people pass in and out
of each one of these theaters daily.
Ten thousand dollars are distributed
each week In salaries to the actors and
$500 to the attaches. Take one thea
ter for example, the house in Boston.
1t Is open the year round. and it costs
$1,000 week to keep 1t open, while its
patrons will average 25.OOO every
week. On holiday 1t will play to from
10000 to 1900 people.-From "The
Vaudeville Theater," by Edwin Milton

Right Rev. John S. Michaud sue
ceeds the late Bishop de Goesbrand
as the head of the Roman Catholic
church in this state. The new bishop

there were both. He lived the life of
a missionary priest at Lowell, Albany,
Island Pond, Barton, Wells River, and
Ely, and was finally called to Burling-

Right Rev. J. S. Mi

BISHOP De GOESBR|AND

Burlington, Nov. 1.-THE funeral
of the late Bishop de Goesbriand was
attended from the cathedral this
morning at 10 o'clock. There was a
great gathering of clergy, priests and
lalty from all over the state, as the
late bishop was universally loved and
revered by not only his own people
but all who came to know him in the
other churches.
The pOntilical mass was celebrated
by Rt. Rev. John S. Michald, bishop
of Burlington, followed by a funeral
Grafton by Rt. Rev. Denis NJ. Bradley,
bishop of Manchester, n. H., after
which the customary five absolutions
were pronounced by the Rt. Rev. cele-
brant and by four other right reverend
bishops. The remains of the venera-
BILE departed were then borne from
the church to their resting place in
front of the Episcopal residence, where
they were temporarily inferred. The
pail bearers were Dr. p. e. McSweenev.
Thomas Arbuckle, j. b. Scully and
p. II. Corley. The bearers of honor
were Rev. j. G. Mclaughlin of Water
bury, Rev. A. j. Barron of Benning-
ton, Rev. j. M. Cothuel of Burling-
ton, Rev. j. f. Audet of Winooski,
Rev. jerome Gelot of Underhill and
Rev. John Gelot of Fair Haven.

solemn and impressive services at the
cathedral and the grave. The remains
were enclosed in an air and water

London, Nov. 7.-1'here is such a
scarcity of intelligence from the front
as to cause all sorts of rumors. 1t is
generally accepted here, however, as
reasuring, although the later reports
agree that the fighting outside of
LadySmth Thursday and Friday was
much more severe than indicated by
the official accounts.
There is no longer disposition to
jump at conclusions, that crushing
blow must be inflicted upon the Beers.
The British contempt for the
BurgherS has been chastcned by de-
feat.
But the mere fact that Gen. White
is enabled to undertake a series of
successful recOnnaisSAnceS is taken as
an indication that the grip Of the
Beers at LadySmith has been relaxed
by the withdrawal of Il portion of
Gen. Joubert's s force to the south
ward.
South African adviccS give as a fair
estimate of the Beers forces around
Ladysmith att twenty-five Thousand
men, including Zulu. etc, There are
five thousand at CoieSbur@. three
Thousand at Kimberley and seven
thousand at Matekin, making Il total
of forty-Iive Thousand.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. Capt.
Littlehalis of the British steamer
Murdinton, from the west coast of
South America, brings the informa-
tion of the probable fate of the miss
ing French steamer Madeline, which
sailed from Valparaiso in August for
Havre and disappeared completely. 1t
appears there is little doubt the Made

The board spent some time in the
consideration of questions relating to
the inspection Of stock and to the pri-
vate affairs Of the board. During the
meeting resolutions were passed express
sing the regret of the memb bers, as rep
resentatives of the s:ockmen of the
state, because Of the death of three Of
the valued and active members Of the
board since it's last meeting, Alexander
Metzel. Lyman Lo1ing and Edward
Marion.
The non arrival of the memb bers from
some of the counties most affected by
the recent severe weather prevented a
full interchange of observations as to
the effect OF the season upon the stock.
The members. however, agreed that it
had been an almost Unprecedented win
ter with the stock industry generally,
although the losses have not been as
great by far as they would if the same
winter had been experienced few
years ago. The average losses, they
said, would be much less than during
any hard winter for thirty years past
The cattlemen were on the whole in
cliDed to take cheerful view of the
situation.
How will the prices rapge this year
as compared with last year and the year
before?' one Of the members was asked.
They probably won't run any
higher. was the reply, "and there is
still good reason for believing that they
will be fairly good. -
