the news of the death of the heads of two
of the larger business interests in which
Burlington is interested should reach this
city on the same day The death of Otis
Shepard, the head of the Shepard Il Morse
Lumber company, occurred In Boston Tues
day morning while that of II. G. Mich
OILS. the business head of the Winooski
Wooden Mills, occurred at his home In
Boston on Monday night.
Mr.. Shepard was the older OF the two
men and had for the past 40 years been
identified with the lumber business Of this
city, although resident of Boston. He
will be remembered with respect by a
large number OF friends in this section.
Mr.. Nichols had been III at his home on
Beacon street for about four months. He
was A. years OF age and was born in Saco,
Nc He studied law in the Harvard Law

have died in Boston from small pox and
other diseases of "A contagious character
and also the effect of isolation hospitals.
The plan in Boston is to have any sus
pected case of small pox at once reported.
The case is then Investigate ted and IL found
to be small pox the patient is removed to

the case are vaCcinated This has been
successful in preventing epidemics Vac
cnaton is one of the greatest projections
we have.
The London Anti-Vacoination society
has done very great harm. The last few
years have seen the number of vaccina-
lions largely increased. At the Boston
smallpox hospital the death rate has been
among the people who have been vacCin-
ated 2is per cent. and in cases of people
not NaCcinatcd about 80 per cent Physi-
clans often issue certificates when the vac
cination was not successful. Statistics
show that in 1888 there were l3 boys vac
cinated in Boston. Ii Is not necessary that
smallpox hospital should be elaborate. a
house warm In winter and cool in summer
and good attendance are what is necessary.
A patient can not easily be Isolated in a
house i'm which a family is living.
In 1889 a contagious service was estab-
