NOTES.

The state board of health express
ed no app'e hension as to the spread
OF smallpox from the cases at Poult-
ney and Castleton.
There were lively times for the sher-
ifs in Barre city and town Friday
and a number of arrests were made
for violations of the laws relating to
the sale OF liquor and gambling.
Mrs. Lizzie Naramore, 80, in fit
of insanity brought on by fear of the
poor house, murdered her six children
from one to nine years old, and then
attempted suicide by cutting her
throat and legs with a razor at her
home in Barre near the village Of
Colebrook, Mass, last Thursday.
Jacob B. Mari, so, farmer, who
was evidently insane, killed his three
children, aged 13, 8 and Z at his
home in Clinton, Me-, Thursday.
His wife fed to the house Of Marr's
father. When the elder Mari went to
the scene of the murder, the younger
man made no resistance and when
asked why he had killed the older
girl, replied, 81 don't know"
DR.. E. A. Smith of Brandon, has
received word that thesummerschool
to be held this season at Queen City
Park will be conducted with vigOr,
despite the illness of DR.. Linsley, OF
Maine. The Rev. j. j. Lewis and his
two sons are working hard for its
success, and it is expected that Dr.
Linsley will recover GENTLY to be
present during the sessions.
The smallpox epidemic has reached
Astead, N. H., six miles from Bellows
Falls. John Royce, young farmer
living on the outskirts of the village,
is sick with what Keene, N. H., physi-
clans say to be an undOubted case of
smallpox. The village is thoroughly
excited, as the night before he was
taken i'll Royce attended dance and
the exposure became widespread. The
town authorities have taken measures
to conine and prevent further con ia
gion. A strict quarantine has ben
established including all those knC|n

Ihe Meaninn of q PAN American"

Frequently one hears the question
asked, why is the exposition at
Buffalo called the Pan-American Ex-
position and what is the meaning of
Pan-American?"
Pan" is the neuter form of the
Greek adjective pas, pasa, pan,
mostly used in compound words of
Greek origin, and means all" 1t is
also employed before English proper
adjectives, as in Pan-Presbyterian,
comprising all Presbyterians; Pan
American, including all America
North, Central and South In this
latter sense it is used of the Buffalo
exposition, which is expected to COM
prise exhibitions from all the coun-
tries in the western hemisphere,
When Mr. Blaine was Secretary of
State, he originated what was known
as the Pan-American Conference,
composed of representatives of the
various nations. The meetings of
that body were held in 1890. The
Buffalo exposition is intended to
have the American nations for it's
chief exhibitors. 1t is not a world S
fair.

Increase in Vermont Farms.

The agriculture division of the cen
sus has completed the correspondence
IT quired to perfect the schedules and
has begun work of tabulating the
agricultural statistics ofthe country.
The following data of Vermont an
nOunced: The enumerators report
33 100 farms; in 1880 there were 35,-
522, and in 1890. 80 573. The num-
Der of farms in 1900 is $50 or l 3
per cent in excess of that of 1890,
and 2,413 less than in 1880. Of the
total number % 979, or 1876 per
cent were operated by the owners.
Ten years ago the cash tenants in
Vermont numbered 2 ,301; the share
tenants 2 1856, and the owners 81
SIG. The cash tenants have increas-
ed 1875, tenants for a share of pro-
duets has decrease 60, making a net
increase in the number of tenant-op-
Grated farms in the ten years of IS.
The officials of the Twelfth census have.
been conducting an investigation
concerning the ownership of rented
farms. 0fthe 4,723 rented farms in
Vermont 800 were owned by residents
of the county in which the farms were
located; 1913 were owned by residents
of Vermont, but not of the counties
in which the farms were located, $40
we're owned by residents outside of
the state, and the name and residence
of the owners of 316 farms were not
reported. The 1888 rented farms
owned in the state of Vermont be-
longed to 3,6S8 persons. One owned
10 farms, one Z farms, two 6, five

tarmers' ProsoeCts Brioht,

So far as can be forseen at the pres
ent time the farmers of the United
States may count on another pros
porous year. The statistician of the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington has been figuring up the stocks
of grain commercially available. He
shows the amount OF wheat remain
ing in farmers hands on March l to
have been about 120, 100000 BUSH
els, or "a 5 per cent. of last years
crop, as compared with 15S 100000
bushels, or 20 per cent. of the crop of
1899. on hand on March l, 1900, and
1913, 100000 bushels, or 20 3 per
cent. OF the crop of 1898, on hand Oh
March l, 1899. The corn in farmers
hands is estimated at 776, 100000
bushels, or 36 8 per cent. of the last
years crop, against 773, 100000
bushels, or 81 per cent. of the crop
of 1899, on hand March l, 1900,
and S00,500,000 bushels, or 41.6
per cent. of the crop of 1898, on hand
on March l, 1899. 1t will be seen
that the farmers haveproportionate-
ly much less on hand of these leading
grain stocks than at the same time
during the preceding two years.
This means a ready demand for this
years crops, and undoubtedly at
fair prices, if the present conditions
of general industrial activity and
commercial prosperity continue
and there is no indication to the con-
trary-Troy Times.

Gov Odell comes off victor in the
contest between himself and Senator
Plat regarding a police bill for New
York City. The Governor believed
the movement unconstitutional and
said if a bill should pass the legisla-
ture, he would veto it. Platt was
anxious to have the control of the
police taken from Tammany and so
urged legislative movement in that
direction. He rallied the party lead
ers last Sunday and after delibera-
ton it was decided to "take no
action" and Odell carries his, point.
The better element of the party is
with the Governor and it is hoped
that this backbone manifestation is
the beginning of the end of bossism
in the Empire State.
