health officer had, could not be by him
delegated to another physician assum-
ing to act for him.
Either of these propositions, If af-
firmatively established would be fatal
to this indictment-the first being fatal
to any indictment for like offenses.
The Sixth Division of our statutes
provides for board of health, nuis-
ances, hospitals, infirmaries and chill
dren's homes. The powers of the board
of health are fixed by certain rules en-
acted by the board, much after the
fashion of ordinances, the power to en-
act and promulgate being wholly de-
rived from the legislature so delegated
| by the act above mentioned. Every in
stitution above named so provided by
division six has immediate reference to
such protection of the inhabitants of
such municipality, each against the
other as would inevitably arise from
poverty, epidemics, contagious, beget-
ting nuisancees and thus endangering
the peace the happiness, the safety
and the prosperity of it's people. This
right of general self-preservation is rec
ognized by our laws and the people are
generously taxed to bear the fight
against this common enemy. Except
sometimes to isolate contagion, the
hospitals, infirmaries and children's
homes are not the abiding places of the
rich, but are the asylums of the poor.
| This Indictment does not charge any
contagious disease, nor that the patient
was neglected by it's friends, but it
simply in effect says: that it and its
| friends, the defendant here will not
submit to our treatment for it's dis
order. Will not permit it to swallow
our medicinese but persist in admins
tering uncton of ther own compound
ing. 1t plainly appears to the court
that this indictmen. is not within
either the spirit or the letter of the
statute comforting powers upon the board
of health and that any health officer
acting under provision of such supposed
powers is not within the line of his
duty and thus not protected by his off,
cial cloak, and a resistance does not
constitute the offense Of resisting an
officer.

the statement of the proposition. The
health physician, as appears from the
Indictment, delegated to another ply
sician in good standing, but in no wise
legally connected with the health de-
partment except as so sent to admins
ter medicine, so prescribed by the prop
er health officer. The acts Of resistance
arc charged as against such delegated
physician, who person. lily attends, and
thus indirectly 1t reaches the conclu-
sion that the defendant resisted the
health officer. This dilutes the resist
ance quite too much to satisfy the de-
mands of section 69OS, R. S., so far as 1t
effects the first doctor.
Defendants brief furnishes plenty OF
authority also on this branch of the
case.
1t is not necessary to discuss here un-
til they arise, questions of religion, OF
policy or the possible future scope OF
the legislature under the constitution.
For reasons given the demurrer must
J be sustained and the prisoner dis
charged.
Respectfully submitted,
! N. M. WOLFE, Judge.

What is
Cream 0fTartar?

When the juice which is pressed from
grapes for wine-making ferments the acid of
the fruit is crystallized and precipitated. This
is collected, refined to absolute purity, and
ground to powder. This is cream of tartar.
Fruit acids are among the most whole
some and important constituents of the food
of man. They are absolutely requisite to
maintain health. In grape cream of tartar
there are combined the most useful of leaven-
ing agencies and most healthful food article.
This highly refined acid of the grape, or
cream of tartar, is the material from which
Royal Baking Powder is made. 1t is many
times more expensive than ingredients used in
many baking powders, but being healthful in
itself, it adds healthfulness to the food instead
of degrading it.
In imitation baking powders poisonous

In Honor OF Senator Morrill,.

Memorial services in honor of the late
Justin S. Morrill, were held April II in the
agricultural colleges throughout the Unit
ed States, which were founded and placed
on 4 substantial basis largely as a result of
legislation which he shaped. At the Mas
sachusetts agricultural college at Amherst
President II. II. Goodelrs address was de-
voted largely to "reminiscences of the sena-
tor. During his address he said
"Peace hath its victories as well as war.
The one triumphs in the realm Of mind
the other in the domain of force. To-day
in every state of this great Union services
of remembrance are being held on the an
niversary of the birth of hero of the
Green Mountain state, the honored sena.
tor, the late Justin S. Morrill,, whose vic
tory with the pen has been quite as grand
as that of Dewey's sword. Within the
walls of 80 institutions devoted TO higher
learning are gathered at this very hour 30
regiments of students, an army of young
men and women $4,000 strong. differed
and led by 1000 of the best captains of the
age, to offer their grateful tribute to the
one whose wise forethought has made it
possible "to promote the liberal and prac-
teal education OF the industrial classes in
the several pursuits and professions of
life.'
Mr.. Goodell spoke of the first impress
sion which be had of Mr.. Morrill, when
they met in 1887, one which had never
changed after an acquaintance OF years
and frequent association. The tall, com
handing form, the exquisite courtliness
and grace of manner belokening the old
school gentleman, the purity of soul shin
ing in his face, but withal united with a
certain dignity and reserve, beyond which
none could pass, made up personality
that made itself instinctiyely felt and re-
vered. Keenly alive to the deficiencies OF
his own education, Mr. Morrill, early re-
solved to introduce some measure provid-
ing for the higher education of the indus.
trial classes. The colleges, as then car
RED on, offered general education, or one
fitting for the so-called learned professions
of medicine, law and theology. He be.
lieved that a college education could be sc
directed as to prepare men for the indus
trial professions as well as for the learned
professions. That the "new education,
as it was called, answered a long-felt want

under the acts of 1862 and 1880, with theil

How Croker Got Money,

He Received Part of the Managers
Commissions While other SiockhoId-
ers OF the Surety Company Got No
Dividends 80 Croker Excused Until
August.
Andrew Freedman, widely known as the
erratic owner of the New York base ball
team, and personal friend of Boss
Croker, was the star witness on the sixth
days session of the Mazet investigation
committee at New York. Freedman is
manager of surety company which bonds
nearly all the city officers.
When Croker was on the stand he
swore, in trying to account for his income,
that he received dividends from this com
pany regularly. Freedman swore that the
company had never paid any dividends.
He said he received salary and commits
sions from it and that he divided his emol-
uments with Croker. He would not say
how much was Cookers share, but would
not deny that it was 1900 a year.
Neither would he deny that the commits
sions which he shared with Croker were
commissions on the bonds issued to city
officers who dealt with the company on
Croker's account. Freedman became angry
when Mr.. Moss asked him how he and
Croker could honestly make profits out of
the company when the shareholders made
none. Fleedman's behavior was as impu-
dent as his reputation had led most peo-
pie to expect.
Great inequality on real estate assess
ments was also brought out by the eXamina-
| tion of Frank A. Bell, and it was shown
that Mr.. Croker's assessment was reduced,
while those of his neighbors were in
creased.
The most interesting witness of the
seventh days session was William j.
| Fryer. He is member of the board OF
building examiners, and keeps a standing
advertisement in building trades periodi-
cal, calling attention to his qualities as a
consulting architect. His advertisement
ends with the words: "Services good
charges high" He admitted that the
board, of which he is member, frequently
passes plans on which his advice has been
paid for by architects or contractors, and
it was shown that in one case where plans
| had been rejected by the building depart
ment a fee of $3.50 to Mr.. Fryer resulted in
such good advice that by following it the
plans were approved without any further
trouble.
The entire session Monday was devoted
| to searching after information about the
alleged corruption fund raised by the pc
lice to influence legislation at Albany, but
the result was not satisfactory.
Croker asked to be excused from giving
further testimony for the present, plead
ing that he was in poor health and wished
to take trip abroad. He was allowed tC
90 on agreeing to be ready to appear be
fore the committee next August.

Apropos to the discussion of railroad
mileage tickets in Vermont, it is of inter-
est and Importance to note that the SUI
preme court of the United States, with
Justices Fuller, Gray and McKenna dis
senting, has just rendered a decision de-
claring that the Michigan law, requiring
railroads to sell 1000-mile tickets good for
two years for $40, is unconstitutional. The
law had been sustained by the supreme
court of Michigan. -
Furthermore, the grounds upon which
the decision is made will, if applied in any
broad sense, involve the abandonment of
the entire system of selling special rate
transportation. The court held that the
rate was pure, bold and unmixed power
of discrimination in favor of few persons
having occasion to travel on the roads and
permitting them to do so at less expense
than others, providing they buy certain
maximum amount of transportation at a
time.
1t is understood that the weight of legal
opinion in Vermont has all along been
that the two-cent mileage rate law passed
at the recent session of our legislature was
unconstitutional.

Priceless Wealth.

There's that more precious than the diamonds
flame,
And beautiful as is the ruby's glow,
Or bloom of pearls; which gold indeed may
main,
And yet not easily again bestow;
Which giveth beauty grace, like scent to flowers;
Without which beauty is a rootess bloom;
Which raiseth brightdres thoughts, like
vernal showers
The beaded grass and gldeth sorrows gloom.
