Geo. Henry Fox, NJ. D., professor
of diseases Of the skin, College Of
Physicians and Surgeons, New York,
and consulting dermatologist to the
New York City board Of health, ex-
amined II or more patients at Hard
wick last week and pronounced their
disease smallpox in mild form. He
advised the maintenance of a strict
quarantine of those now affected, the
vaccination of all those who have no
well.marked vaccine scar and the re-
vaccination of all adults who have not
been vaceinated since childhood.
A farmhouse has been secured for a
pest house and every case will be iso-
lated and all possible precaution taken
to eradicate the disease. There is
considerable feeling against DR.. Ham
ilton, secretary Of the state board OF
health, because he diagnosed the case
as chickenpox when Mr.. Thomas was
sick and again last week, when he
first visited the place, said it was not
smallpox.
HYDE Park is excited over the small
pox scare and a general order for vac
cination has been given. There are
no cases nearer than Morrisville.
Plainheld also has had case or two,
il is said, but strict quarantine is eX-
pected to prevent further spread.

West Haven. In the month of June
he went 10 Fair Haven and returned
in a sleigh, snow having fallen the
night before. His fathers corn was
up six inches, but it survived and pro-
duced a good crop.
A strike was ordered at the granite
sheds of c. Fl. More Il Co. in Barre
last Thursday and some 4j cutters and
blacksmiths went out. The cause was
the hiring by the firm Of an ltal-
ian who arrived in this country from
Italy some two weeks ago and who has
been refused admittauce 10 the local
branch Of the granite cutters union
on the ground that he had not yet
served his full apprenticeship. For
this reason the union men objected to
working with him, and as he was not
discharged, a strike was declared. G..
II. More said the strike was a surprise
to him, as he had not been notified
that there was any dissatisfaction
among his men until they had gone
out. He said that, in mis- opinion, the
men had violated the three years arti-
Gle of agreement, which provides that
when any differences arise between
the men and their employers, they
shall be brought before the arbitration
committee from the union and manu-
facturers' association before a strike or
lockout shall be declared. The strike
was soon amicably settled.

BnrIington's street Fair.

The Burlington Street Fair and Mid
summer Carnival, to be held in Burling-
ton the week OF August goth, reaches
magnitude beyond the expectation Of all
interested. The promoters have engaged
the Frank q. Bostock Mighty Midway,
the largest organization OF the kind in the
country. 1t includes the great Hagenbeok
trained animal show.
Exhibitions OF these animals are given
in a sixty-ioot steel arena, and are the
most thrilling ever seen IN any part OF the
country.
II will be remembered by several people
in this section that the Hagenbeck ami
NAL show was the big feature Of the mid
way at the Worlds fair IN Chicago. Men
and women trainers enter the arena ana
put the wild beasts, lions, laguars, slbe-
rian blood hounds and bears through an
exhibition that is wonderful in showing
power OF the human being over brute cree
alton. The name OF Hagenbaek IL famil-
lar to nearly every household in the coun-
try. Then there will be the Cairo theatre,
the midway plRisance, and the Egyptian
orchestra. In the Cairo theatre the charm
ing and bewildering Fatima, lady from
the far East, will present her native dance,
assisted by her attendant in the true and
original form. "Beauty and the Beast
will be exemplified when Mile. Dorina Will
perform with huge brown and black hears
Funny "Bobn Mack will cause mirth and
merriment with his donkey and monkey.
The midway will be feature OF far East
ern attractiveness. II will surpass anything
that has ever been seen in Vermont before.

TRIPLE WINDOW OPENINGS.
A Good Arrangement for the ADJ
mission of Light
and Air.

Some of the decorators ideas in the
use of windows are very effective.
They may be adopted in old houses
without the expense of throwing out
a bay window, all that is required for
a series of windows being the inser-
ton of row of openings along one
side of the room, narrow frames alone
separating the different sashes. The
triple window may be made by group
ing two extra ones beside one already
in the room. If the room is in a COR
ner a very effective arrangement is
secured by putting windows on each
side of the corner. A seat may then
be run across the angle and cushioned
and upholstered with cretonne or
some other handsome fabric, says the
Washington Star.
A very effective use of windows was
recently made in a small house whose
little parlor was hopelessIy cherries,
with an unattractive outlook on a
busy city street. 1t happened to be
a corner room, with window narrow
and modern at each side Sf the cor
ner. The shadows of the houses on
either size kept the room gloomy even
at midday. 1t happened that the ten
ant was of some years standing and
the landlord was willing to humor the
lady of the house when the sugges-
ton was made to let\mOre light into
the room. The housewife obtained an
idea of what she wanted from the dec
orator and succeeded in inducing the
landlord to let him put, the design
into execution. This is what was
done: The side windows were
widened toward the corner, at which
point two wide windows were put in,
leaving space for a broau wooden
panel between. A shelf and panels
were, put under the windows. Tiny
diamond-shaped panes of tinted glass
were set in the frames, which were so
fixed that either the upper or lower
sash could be swung back on hinge.
This in summer admitted great deal
more fresh air than would have been
possible with an ordinary window.
Above the windows was stretched
rich portiere that fell in long, grace
full folds to the floor. Ruffled Swiss
curtains were draped on one side of
each window. Opposite the center of
the windows stood small table, on
which was set a fancy china lamp. COW

CHINA NEEDS HELP.
Present Invasion May Prove Z

For Centuries the Common People
Have Been Robbed by Corrupt
Omcials-HOw the Empire
Is Ruled.
Especial Correspondence.]

NM ANY thousands of good people,
HWll both in this country and Eu-
q IA rope, are wasting an abun-
dance of sympathy on the Chinese gov
eminent. Individually the Chinese
may be entitled to thoughtful consid-
grafton, but the sooner his influence
foC mischief as a subject of moribund
civilization is destroyed the better for
himself and mankind at large.
There is no reasonable doubt that
China has for more than a century
had the most corrupt government with
which any country has ever been
cursed. From the throne down to the
local tax collectors, Office has been used
| as a means to enrich individuals at the
expense of the public; and the few
brave men who have now and then
dared to protest openly against this
universal system of spoliatiOn were
executed without trial and in the
most cruel fashion.
The cabals and intrigues in the i'm
perial palace at Peking were followed
by crimes too dark for comprehension
| by the western mind. The voice Of
justice was strangled by assassin or
executioner, and true patriots were ire
moved" by seemingly occult means.
The imperial family-Tartars by de-
scent and disposition-was back of all
this horrifying injustice and made
tools of the avaricious mobiles appoint
ed to rule the several provinces of the
empire. The advent Of foreign devils"
was, of course, viewed with alarm by
the fiendish and fanatical Tartar Of
iceholders. They were quick to see
that European intervention would
sooner or later put an end to their
| tyranny and force them to safeguard,
in a measure at least, the rights of the
| common people.
The fear of the Judgment to come
caused the reactionaries to organize
and support the Boxer movement. The
emperor, Kwang Hsu, an easy-going
and not overly-smart young man of 30
or thereabout, was kept carefully in
