Arthur F. Stone, on behalf of the COM
mittee on by-la VS., proposed the follow
ing amendment to Article 4. That the
words with the Agricultural Society"
be stricken from the article, as that So
ciety is no longer in existence, and then
the bylaws will read, "the property
affiirs and business concerns of the com
pany shall be managed by the board OF
directors. They may make such arrang-
ments for the holling ot annual lairs as
they may consider advisable" etc. The
proposition was accepted and the by.

The old board Of directors was unani-
mouslv re elected, and Arthur Tapin and
B. K Graves were elected auditors.
The subject OF giving stockholders free
tickets was discussed and motion was
made to return to the system used two
years ago, of giving 80 tickets Tor each
share OF stock The motion was killed
by an almost unanimous vote.

Anent Calamity Howiing.

Mr. EDITOR: A few days ago
you said it was wrong in principle
to state the truth about the water
works business.
Now, while you do not say in SO
many words that the Florence &
Cripple Creek will pull up their
track running into Florence, and,
bag and baggage, move to Canon
City, yet that is the natural infer
ence to be derived from what you
do say.
Mr.. Editor, allow me to suggest
that your paper and the states
men" running this city, who are
opposed to be working for its
welfare, stop this needless howl
ing about an imaginary calamity
to come some time in the dim
future, change your tune and go
to work like business men, work
ing on business proposition, and
provide the Florence d Cripple
Creek railroad with what terminal
facilities they need, show the rail
road and the Cyanide people that
the people of Florence are their
friends, go and invite w. Il. John
son and his friends with the Sill
yer Cliff railroad, whom our
statesmen" drove from us. Show
to all these people that Florence
means business, and instead of all
this TALK about changing the
location of the railroad the pres
ent terminal facilities of the rail
road will be largely increased,

Very Low Rates.

Action of the Colorado Terminal

request of the Pueblo Pageant of
States and Nations for reduced
rates from all points in the state
for the festival is announced. The
rates are less than one fare for the
round trip and the limit is such
that visitors may come here for the
End of July, and remain until
trains leaving for their homes on
the 9TH of July, thus having from
most points four full days in the
city, and from none less than three

biggest and grandest Fourth of

WE PUBLISH today a communi-
cation from Colonel Fitzgerrell
advising the people to cease howl
ing calamity. If there is one man
who more than another has dis
cussed the imaginary evils to grow

Colonel, and THE TRIBUNE
would just drop a hint that he
take a good, big dose of his own

Twelfth United States Census.

Physicians and students of mortality
statistics will be interested in learning of
the work now being accomplished by the
Chief Statistician of Vital Statistics of
the United States Census, by the author
ity of the Director, Hon. William X.
Merriam 1t is practical effort, necess-
arily of limited scope, to secure the adop-
ton of a uniform certificate for the return
of deaths and looking toward the estab-
lishment of a common national system
of collection of vital statistics for the
purpose, primarily, of the Census tables
and publications.
correspondence has been had by the
Chief Statistician, Mr.. William A. King,
with the officers in charge of mortality
registration in the states employing such
a system, and in the cities having a pop
ulation of 5000 and more at the last
Census which also collect and register
death returns. Complete and accurate
information of the different methods in
vogue has been obtained, and it was
found that there is much unnecessary
and Objectionable variation, considered
from the Census point Of view, in the
| form of official returns.
| Having no power to compel co-opera
tive action, and hampered by want of
| time in which to carry out the whole
project, nevertheless the Census Office I'M
dertook to secure the modification or
/ ampli6cation OF the death certificates so
as to have them include the items neces.

return form was prepared and submitted,
with explanatory correspondence, to
each registration office or officer con-
trolling the preparation of the state or
local forms.
The result has been more important
and gratifying than even the Census
Office expected, as not only have the
items in the specimen form been very gen.
orally adopted, but the registration
officers have abolished many practically
obsolete local variations in their certif
Gates and the latter have been made to
conform to one standard more nearly
than ever before.
The promptness and willingness dis
played by the state local officers in com
plying with the request of the director
has been surprising as well as gratifying
The benefit that will result to the Censu:
. Office and to science from this first steI
toward the goal Of national uniformity
is incalculable, but it will be seen readily
that the study of the natural law of thu
growth of the population is made easie
and more certain.
The director of the Census confidently
expects that physicians everywhere will
appreciate the desir ability of the new or
, der of things, and that they will earnest
ly and actively cooperate in securing
;; prompt and accurate mortality return
of the uniform character required by con
gress and sought for by statisticians. H
recognizes the fact that failure on tn
part of physicians to give vitality to tn
common standard by carefully reporting
the items that may be new to their Gel
! ti6cate will be fatal to the end in view.

Not the Old Oaken Bucket.

In shady corner of as beautiful a New
England garden as one could wish to see
"the old oaken bucket" still "hanps in
the we'll" The memory of his COUNTRY
home, stirring poets fancy in a far-oif
city, made possible the tender, simple
verses that appeal so strongly to the
heart. That was nearly century ago
but such poems live, and that is The
reason the feet Of many pilgrims turn
toward this pretty place summer after
summer.
Greenbush is small section set off
from Scituate, and it does not belittle
the quiet restful hamlet to say that it's
chief attraction is the farm where
Samuel Woodwork once lived. Young
and old come to visit it from far md
near, and every one looks for "the Or
chard, the meadow, the deep-tangled
wildwood" MANY changes have been
made since the poet found "the source of
an exquisite pleasure" in the clear waters
of the well, but "the wide-spreading
pond" the mill and the dairy.house are
still to be seen. The original house was
destroyed long ago.
The thrifty farm is now the property
of Henry Northey, whose grandmother
married the poets father. Mr.. and Mrs.
Northey are exceedingly kind to strang-
ers, although they confess, when uues-
toned that there are disadvantages in
having a renowned place for ones dwell.
ing. Through all the long summer they
are besieged by visitors who ask exactly
the same questions as those who came
before. Sometimes as many as hun
bred persons have crossed the smooth
green lawn to the well in one day; fire.
quently there is an array of fashionable
equipages before the low stone wall that
borders the road. and it is sometimes
quite perplexing to satisfy such a num-
Der of unlimited guests.
The poet was born in Scituate, but not
on this farm. He lived there from in
fancy until he was fourteen, when he en-
tered the family Of Rev. Nehemiah
Thomas to study. He began to write
verses when very young, and always
signed them "Selim," a name that he
used throughout his life. He became a
printer in Boston, an editor in New
Haven, and later lived in Baltimore and
New York, where he was associated with
George p Morris in establishing the New
York Mirror. His life was full of inter-
est, and every page of his printed poems
speaks of refined, cultured nature.
Mrs. Northey treasures a portrait OF
Woodwork. also a book he owned,
"The Life Of John Howard, Esq.," in
which his name is written in remarkably
beautiful characters. The family also
has the original copy Of the verses that
have become so celebrated and which, it
is believed, were written in 1917
The bucket is not the original one.

GOODNESS" to satisfy the thirst OF inter
ested visitors was presented to the farm

ginia. 1t bears silver plate suitably in

Where Births are Rare.

For over 200 years no baby has been
born on the Island of Balta, one OF the
far-distant Shetland group, says the Lon

But this long record has now been
broken, for the other day, during the re-
cent herring fishing season, young lady
hailing from the Buckle (Banffshire) dis
trict gave birth to a fine healthy boy in
one of the wooden huts belonging to a
curing station. The baby haa been
christened Balta Geddes Poison, and the
laird of the island has presented the
mother with a check for SOS.
The fortunate little stranger has also
been made the recipient Of several hun
