Whitney and Knowles production
OF "Quo Vadis,' tn most elaborate
scenic presenta ion of any thea' rcal
period, at the Blanchard opera house
Thursday evening. AS there is really
more music in 'Quo Vadis" than in
most OF the operas now given, full
chorus of male aud female voices will
be carried with the organization for
the purpose Of giving this part of the
performance perfect harmony in
keeping with the superior excellence
Of the rest Of the production.
Virgil E. Ayers has decided to close
the barre Roller Mills and will thus 60
out OF the feed business. He does this
because the new wood working ma
chinery he has recently put into bis.
planning mill requires so much of the
power there is little left for running
his feed busin. SIS. AS result of this
William D. Mcdonald, who has been
acting as bis miller for long time is
now out Of work for the time being.
Mr.. Mcdonald may decide to remain
in Barre, although he has nothing
definite in view. He has been here
seven years and has shown himself as
competent a miller as was ever in this
city A large part of the large trade
enjoyed by these mills was built up by
him, as he thoroughly understands
feeds and how to grind them and OBJ
tain the best results. He has made
many friends here and will be much
u ,sed il he goes away.

HE DECIDED TO MOVE ALONG

There is good story told on AL.
derman Kingston in connection with
the way he is conducting the Office Of
overseer Of the poor. 1t must be true
as he himself admits the facts.
No one who has ever seen the men
who work in the polishing mill would
accuse them of being millionaires Or
at least over flush with the coin Of
the realm. Not but that they are
honest men, but old and exceedingly
dirty clothes that they wear gives a
person an impression that they are
net very we'll fixed as far as this
worlds goods are concerned.
The other night soon after the al
derman had arrived at bis home from
his work and before he had had
chance to put On, his evening clothes
tramp called at his house to get a
nights lodging and supper.
"Are you the overseerDof the poor?"
he inquired when the alderman came
to the door.
II am that" replied Sam as he be-
gan to cast about in his mind for some
OF those ready excuses that every man
OF common sense is supposed to have
when he becomes overseer OF the poor.
'Well, l guess that l had better
move along to the mex town." was
the remark of the tramp as he edged
away, thinking by the appearance of
the alderman that there was no use
to expect any help from him. But
the alderman is still said to be SO
much in lave with the duties OF the
position that he cannot see how any
man could refuse to serve.

NO SURRENDER
By England To United
new CONVENTION
VIII Provide For a Neutral
Water Way

Washington, Oct. 8. - There has
been no surrender by England to the
United States In the new matter OF
the new isthmian canal treaty accord
ing to the best authority possible.
1t Is said to be equally true that the
United States has sacrificed no princi-
pie in these negotiations and the ef-
feet Of contrary statements is depre-
Gated as likely serious to jeopardize
the chances of the clnsummation of
the convention which shall finally and
peacefully settle an issue that has
been source OF danger for the past
SO years.
1t is said that what actually has
happened is that each side has pre-.
served the unoerlying principle Of the
Clayton. Bulwer treaty and the new
convention will provide for water
way neutral at all times and open to
the commerce OF the world. The Clay
ton. .Bulwer atty, however, half q
century ago has proved to be defective
In mechanism for giving effect to this
purpose. The new treaty simply pro-
vides this mechanism.
As viewed by the American point
Of view even this was no surrender on
England's part In seeking this relief
1naSmuch as the above mentioned
principle is reiterated and affirmed as
binding upon the United States AS
for the form Of the treaty 1t may be
stated that it embodies In substance
the amendments to the AHay. Paunce-
forte treaty which were adopted by
the Senate and beyond that the chang
es are believed to be textual rather
than substantial.

Maj. GOrEas Reports ON the Improves
Conditions fn Havana.
Major J.c. Gorgas of the medical depart
ment. chief sanitary officer of Havana.
has made a report to the War Department
of the improved sanitary condition of that
city. He says that not a case of smallpox
has occurred there since July, 1900, and
this despite the fact that quarantine is
enforced against New Orleans or New
York, in each of which cities smallpox Is
said to exist pretty extensively. The con-
dit,ons as TO yellow fever, Surgeon Cor
gas says, become more and more encour-
aging as the months pass. The smallest
number of deaths from that disease during
any month since 1889 was in August last.
when there were but two, A still better
showing. however, is made when the five
months beginning April 1st, at which time
yellow fever begins in Havana, Is consld-
cred The least number of deaths in these
five months up to the present year was in
1899, when there were IS and the greatest
number was in 1897 when there were 603
The average during the five months is -
During the five months of the present year
there were but three deaths from yellow fe-
yer.
This is so much better" says Major
Gorgas, than anything that has occurred
before that we feel convinced 1t can only
be due to the methods of dfsinfectfon
adopted by order of the military governor;
that is, a thorough destruction of infected
mosquitoes in the neighborhood of the To-
Gus of infection. We begin to hope that
this year there will be no epidemic Of yell
low fever. In former years by September
l this disease was at it's height. and as
1t has been practically kept out up to Sep
tember 1 of this year there seems no rea-
an equally good result during the remain

have not seen a homely policeman since
have been in Sweden, and the patrolmen
of Stockholm are the handsomest men I
have found in the country thus far, but
never saw one of them doing anything.
They pace their beats. stand at the inter
section of the streets and pose for the ad-
miration OF the public, but pever deisn to
take any interest in the affairs of the pop
ulation. If you ask them questions They
will answer with great courtesy and dig
nifty. but they never interfere with any
body. The other day a New York lady
who was driving In the streets of Stock
holm, met with an accident The cab ,rse
fell down and she was thrown at full
length on the pavement She fell within
six feet of one of the handsomest police
men in the city. Bystanders came running
from every direction TO assist her. but he
stood like a statue and did not appear to
see or to care what was going on around
him. When I related the story TO an ofii-
