yellow Fever, Transmitted by Mosquito
Bite. Causes Death in Havana,


ohiet Surgeon Havard announced
Sunday that the experiment is at Havana

will be discontinued. This decision
was taken because one of the non-im-
munes who was recently bitten by an
infected mosquito died of the yellow
fever.
The man, who is a Spaniard, desired
to become an immune, and, therefore.
allowed himself to be bitten by an in
fected mosquito. Another man who
was bitten is also su tfering from very
bad case. Both were bitten by insects
which had been set apart for the ex.
periments of DIR. Caldaz, the Brazilian
expert, arranging to demonstrate the
alleged efficiency of serum as a pre-
ventive against yellow fever.
According to Major Havard, the cases
due to mosquito infection, prior to the
last two, were light, but the matter
mas assumed a more dangerous form
Ghan the first experiments led the vel
low fever commission to expect. The.
experiments of DR.. Caldaz have not.

REV. DR.. ROBERTS RESIGNS
Wishes to Be Released at End
of November.
Hopes That Another Pastor Will be
Able to Do More for the First
Baptist Church-His Letter
of Resignation.

Rev. w. s. Roberts, ID. d., who has for
the past ten years been pastor of the First
Baptist church, rendered his resignation
Sunady just previous to the usual morn
ing sermon. The announcement came AZ
a surprise to many of the congregation
but to others he had remarked that his
pastorate had perhaps been OF sufficient
duration and that although burlington
had not ceased to he attractive and that
his love for the church had not grown
cold, it might, in his opinion, be better
to have a younger man in his stead. DR..
Roberts has made no definite plans in re-
gard to a future pastorate
y number of members of the church
were seen during the day and evening and
the unanimous expression was of regret
at the action of Dr. Roberts. The board
of deacons have not yet called meeting
to consider the matter but will probably
convene some time next week. His resig
nation read Sunday was as follows:

wonderfully Helped me. at tires when the
demands upon my energies were greater
than one ordinarily would expect TO DO

NV course in this matter Is due to the
belief that a new voice in this pulpit will
be more effective than mine. It is for
Your sakos. not my own that resign this
office, in the hope that a leader whose
WAYS of doing will be different. and whose
presentations Of truth are stamped with
the impress of a new Individuality will
wafon in YOU an enthusiasm which my
words no longer inspire

NORTHWESTERN GUARANTY CO.,
The Settlement Effected by Vermont
Stockholders and the Outlook

A subscriber writes to the United States
/ Investor as follows from Providence, r.
l.:
In the August 2ith Q9oD issue of the
"!nvestor' page 1852, it is stated that
vermont stockholders of the defunct
Northwestern Guaranty Loan cuIupai,.
nave recently effected Il settlement of
y cents ON the dollar | hope the state
ment is correct and have no reason to-
doubt it, but the amount IS so much less
than any offer that has been mad" to our
local stockholders that ! thought | would
like TO know little more about it.
The Investor replies as follows:
While 1t is II fact that the Vermont
stockholders of the defuuct Northwestern
Guaranty Loan company have recently e.
fccted Il settlement at II cents on the dol
lar. 1t is Impossible to say how StOckhuhI-
ers in the other states will fare. As the
Supreme Court has found that stockhold-
crS are liable to assessment OF their hold
ings to their par value, it is thought
probable that the receiver will compromi S,.
matters and not bring suit individually
against each stakeholder 1t is acknowl-
edged that many of the stockholders are
without means, and to bring suit against
them would only result in spending con-
siderable money for which nothing in re-
turn would be received. Those who have
me- ans. however. will probably be commu-
nicated with and some parties from the
West, indirectly supposed to be connected
with the attorneys, have been sending
communications to Eastern stockholders
in which they intimate that some prupo-
sition might be made whereby a speedy
settlement may be effected. Whether
Rhode Island stockholders. however. Will
fare as well as the Vermont stockholders,
