SMALL Pox.

Small poX scares are all the fashion
now, and Barre is bound not to be be-
hind the rest. Certain residents of
this place have become alarmed be-
cause several from Hardwick are com
ing here, and have interviewed some
of the aldermen to see if it is not
possible for our health officer to inveS-
tigate the matter and make some ar
rangement for keeping people from
suspected places out of Barre.
So far as we could learn there are
no cases of illness here that could pos
slbly be suspected of smallpox, and
the scare, if such it may be termed, is
evidently confined to few timid per-
sons who are always expecting some
thing terrible. There is some talk of
calling meeting of the city council
to investigate the matter. and If
such action is taken we have all con-
tidence that the health department
will take care of the matter as the Oc-
casion warrants.

VERMONT GRAPHITE MINES.

Burlington, Aug. g. A vein of
graphite has been opened near the
Government lighthouse on Split Rock
which promises to pay.
Seven months ago prospectors from
the west hearing Of the possibility OF
a ''fnd" in the region sent on men to
investigate. Some money was spent
in blasting only to find that the rock
was practically barren of graphite at
the point where operations were be-
gun.
At last another vein was struck
near the lake shore south of the Gov.
ernment property. This was opened
and tunnel has already heen made
for 200 feet into the mountain. Blast
ing has also been done farther up,
the results in both openings being ex-
cellent.
A gang of % men were put to work
yesterday and mining apparatus is ar
irving daily. Parties from Pennsyl-
vania have the matter in charge.
Graphite mines are scarce in this
part of the country, although further
up the lake near Ticonderoga, are
lead mines which have been operated
with more or less success for a number
of years. The mine recently opened
near Split Rock contains similar de-
posit, being a soft graphite suitable
for lead pcncilsand usedcxtensively in
the manufacture of water proof
paint.

ASSASSINATION
Attempted by Anarchist On
Life Of The
SHAH OF PERSIA
The Crime Was Prevented
by the Officers.

Paris, Aug. 2.-An attempt on the
life Of the Shah of Persia, Muzatlar
Ed Din, was made this morning, but
luckily it resulted in no harm. A
man broke through the line of police
men as the Shah was leaving bis
apartments, and tried to mount the
royal carriage step. lie was seized
and placed under arrest.
The man held revolver in bis
hand but as soon as his purpose was
OWNED he was disarmed. At the
station he expressed regret that he
he had not succeeded in his inten-
tions. He said, "this is an affair be-
tween me and my conscience.
The Shah was seated in his carriage
with the Grand Vizier beside him
while Gen. Parent was opposite. The
man was dressed as laborer. He
sprang upon the step from between
two automobiles where he had been
hidden.
In one hand he carried cane which
he raised as though about to strike
but the movement was only intended
to hide his real purpose to shoot his
revolver in the other hand.
The Vizier struck the weapon from
his hands. The officers overpowered
him. A crowd of 500 witnessed the
attempt.
He is believed to be an Italian Of
about 26. He declines to give his
name or nationality just before
starting from the palace the Shah re-
ceived letter dated at Italy, signed
by an Italian name, and posted in
Paris, announcing that he would be
assassinated today. The police be-
lieve he had an accomplicc.

The average political manager is
singularly deficient in originality. The
trap which is being set for the local
Democracy is ancient and sadly out OF
repair. but those who set 1t UP are evil
IDENTIFY OF the opinion that the bird in
whose sight 1t is put up and which has
already lost all Its feathers by walk
ing into it once will enter it Joyfully
once more for a meal Of solid chaff. In
the last state campaign the single tax
ers cajoled and befooled the Democrats
ers cajoled and befooled the Demo-
Gratis into adopting their ideas. and
the latter have been cursing their
folloy ever since. This is the same
game. The single takers intend to
take the same leadership in local
affairs. They plan to set up So
called Citizens ticket" which will
mean municipal ownership of every
thing, single tax and the initiative and
referendum. The Populists are expect
ed to take the bait. The Democrats are
to have the honor Of filling out the tail
end Of the procession. The single tax
ers are not without shrewdness: but it
remains to be seen how far their
talk about a citizens ticket" will i'm
pose upon others and put them in the
saddle and in line for anything that
may happen along. The public will wait
with some amusement to see with what
success the same graft can be worked
a second time.

Mr.. scrymser estimates the cost Of

Representatives Of capital interested
steamship line between the ports Of
Eastern Siberia and the Pacific coast
are in this country, investigating the
advantages of rival claimants for the
American terminus of their business,
They have been treated with lavish
courtesy and loaded with information
at San Francisco. Portland is look
ing after them. They must come to the
Sound and they should not depart until
they have seen and heard what Seattle
has to offer. For beyond any question
this city is the best port of entry and
departure for Siberian trade with the
United States.
The Post-Intelligencer referred edito-
rally few days ago to the rapid growth
of this market and it's future impor-
lance In Asiatic Russia we will, for
years to come. sell millions upon mill
lions Of our goods. The secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce has pub
lished the statistics of trade between
Siberian ports and the Puget sound dis
trict The total exports from the United
States to Russia for the last fiscal year
were over $4,000. 900. We do not doubt
that within FIVE years merchandise to
a greater amount than this will go d.
rect from our Pacific coast to the ports
of Russia on the Pacific coast OF ST.
IBERIA. To whom shall the handling Of
this vast business belong?
Take glance at the map of the world
and see how quickly the question
answers itself. Following geographical
lines, 1t is absurd to suppose that conn
merce with Siberia should swerve from
the route marked out for it by the
forces that fashioned the globe ITSELF
Soon or late 1t must gravitate to us of
mere necessity. But we want it now.
We need to focus at this point the be-
ginnings of trade that must follow the
ocean track of easiest access along the
short parallels of latitude. The COM
mercial interests of Seattle should make
every effort to secure the anchoring in
our harbor of ships that are destined at
no distant day to carry a huge share
of the mighty Oriental traffic.

Cover the Patrol Wagon.

A correspondent suggests that the
patrol wagon be provided with q cover
ing This suggestion has been offered
many times since that emergency vehi-
Gle became permanent attachment to
the police department. The wonder Is
that It was not followed out long ago.
for the parading OF people under police
charge IL offensive to oniookers and
often unnecessarily humiliating to those
compelled to make the journey to the
station.
1t is not that the public feels SO much
sympathy for the majority Of those who
patronize the patrol wagon and who are
generally booked on the charge Of being
drunk and disorderly. The sight OF men
and, unfortunately. sometimes women
being driven through the streets in an
intoxicated condition is in itself shock
ing, and such offensive exposure should
be prevented out of respect for decency.
Such exhibitions are repulsive any
where: they are especially 80 in the
public streets where hundreds OF pedes-
TRANS are forced to become spectators.
Often through mistake innocent per-
sons are taken to police headquarters
only to be released, and 1t is wholly un-
justifable that they should be paraded
In public over noisy pavements to the
clang Of gong vigorously worked by
an official eager to show that he is
doing his duty. Overzealous police
men are rarely reluctant to send in a
call for the most notorious conveyance
in the city. and burning desire to show
that they are alert in looking after the
peace Of the community not infrequent-
ly compels worthy people to submit to
modification which they might well be
spared In fact, the practice Of throw
ing people into an open patrol wagon
and hurrying them through crowded
streets at breakneck speed and with ac-
companying uproar is brutal. no matter
whether those people are guilty or In
nocent Of some infraction of the law.
The use of the open wagon as an
ambulance is even more indefensible
The sick or injured should certainly be
screened from the public gaze. There
are few sights more distressing and al
together more Objectionable than this
open carrying Of helpless people to hos
pital or station. There is absolutely no
excuse for it. The ordinary feeling for
humanity should insist that those so
unfortunate as to require the use of
an ambulance should be protected both
against the elements and an enforced
inspection by the public. There are no
instances where covered patrol wagon
would not be better for the police SER
vice than the present open vehicle. and
there is no citizen alive to the decen-
cies and common prophecies of life who
will not favor the change suggested.
