witness the graduating exercises of the
class OF 09 of the first grammar school, The

draped with yellow and white bunting. The
organ was concealed by a screen of hem
lock and field daisies the class flower. The
stairs leading to the upper room, in the
northwest corner of the hall, were trans
formed into a spot of beauty. The stairs
we're solid bank of the beautiful maiden
hair, so arranged that they were stirred by
breezes from the window, until one was al
most deluded into the idea that they grew
there The projection made by the stairs
was entirely covered with hemlock, making
very natural background for the ferns
The front of the platform was bordered
with ferns and daisies Miss Ethel Bruce
of Brattleboro presided at the organ.
This is the first time the grammar school
has had these exercises, and is an innova-
ton made by the energetic and progressive
teacher, Miss Sawyer. As a whole it was
surprise and delight to the audience. The
easy and digniied manner of the young
students and the high order of their essays,
would lose nothing by comparison with
those of schools of higher grade. As there
are Is members in the class the program
was somewhat lengthy, but being inter
spersed with singing, it did not become
tiresome. Miss Sara Ida Stearns grace
| fully welcomed the visitors. Miss Winnie Err

on Boys" and Girls, given by Miss Lei
Hazel Roberts and Hovt Proctor Streete
respectively, were bright essays, sparkling
with wit The glances forward by tn
class prophet, Miss Inez Grace Doolittle
was much enjoyed. The diplomas wer

Took Morphine Accidentally.

Mrs w. B. Spencer accidentally took a
three grain morphine powder, instead of a
harmless headache powder, Sunday morn
ing. After swallowing the powder, she
detected a different taste than unual, and
examining the wrapper, learned what she
had taken. A physician was summoned,
antidotes given, and by great effort Mrs.
Spencer was kept awake. No doubt she
will feel the effects of the drug for long
time. The powder was one that had been
gotten for sick horse, and although plain
ly marked poison, teaches lesson in re-
gard to the care that should be taken, to
not leave such deadly poisons where mis-
takes could be possible.

Benson Munyan, wildly known as the
former state detective officer for the district
of Hampshire and Franklin counties, died
suddenly in the asylum at Northampton

service, the strain and excitement of gath
ering evidence in the O'Neil case at Shell

ton. Mr.. Munyan was born in Leeds in
1887. He was appointed state detective in
1879, and since then he had handled hun
dreds of cases and all kinds of criminals
from the petty thief to the murderer. He

Fever


Government Experts Say It Is Yellow
Fever.
Washington, July 30-Surgeon Cen
eral Sternberg of the army declared 10
an associated press representative at a
late hour Tonight that he has no Off
cial knowledge of the reported out
break of yellow fever at Hampton. He
expresses himself as highly incredulous
of the truth of the story, saying he had
no intimation even of the question OF
the fever at Hampton. STILL he said.
he might not get the earliest news in
such cases, as reports probably would
be first sent to the members of the Sol
diers' home
1t appears that Dr. Wyman's inform
alton of the reported existence of yell
low fever came in a telegram from the
surgeon in charge of the Soldiers home
at Hampton, who expressed fear that
the disease was prevalent there. DR.
Wyman Immediately avaaled himself of
the presence at Norfolk of Surgeon
Wasdin and directed that the proceed
at once to Hampton and make a care
full examination of the suspects. This
afternoon the surgeon general received
a dispatch from DIR. Wasdin expressing
his conviction that the hospital authori-
ties had been correct in their fears and
that the disease was genuine yellow
fever. Surgeon White of this city and
Surgeon Wortenbaker, from Whining
ton, N. c., will go to Hampton immedi-
ateiy and other assistants from the ser
vice will be directed ito proceed there as
soon as the exact condition of affairs
can be learned and the needs of the sit
uation known.

Newport News, Va, July 3O.-There
are 30 cases of what is believed to be
genuine yellow fever at the National
Soldiers home, near Hampton, and
three deaths from the disease were re-
ported to-day. There were several
other deaths at the institution yester-
day. but 1t cannot be stated tonight
that all of them We're caused by yellow
fever
Newport News and Hampton will
quarantine against the soldiers home
Tomorrow morning. The government
authorities at Old Point have already
adopted this step and no strangers are
allowed to enter the reservation. Quar-
antine Officer Hobson Of this port went
to the soldiers home tonight and veri-
fled the statement that there are now
80 cases Of the disease at the home and
that there were three deaths from the
malady to-day. While no one outside
of the soldiers home knew anything
about the existence of yellow fever un-
til to-day, 1t is said that the disease
made its appearance three days ago.
The most rigid quarantine regulations
will be enforced to prevent the spread
of the malady.
The news has created great excite
ment in Newport News, Old Point and
Hampton and the most vigorous meas
ures will be resorted to to prevent it's
spread. There are 1000 old veterans
at the home and several large excur-
sion parties went there last week.
