The Way Of Saying Il.

John Il. Cough used to tell this story
in his own inimitable way. in one of his
lectures:

Prof. Follen crossing the yard at Har.
ward college. with new spencer. Dr
Popkins cried out, Say Follen, isn't that
a pretty short coat?" To which Prof. Fol
len replied, Yes, but it will be LONG
enough before l get another" DIR. Pop.
kins went home, chuckling. to his sister
Elizabeth, to whom he said, Prof Fol
len made good joke just now" and
then reported the dialogue thus: " Isn't
that pretty short coat Yes. but ii

Elizabeth replied. But that doesn't
seem funny to me- DIR. POpkins replied
slowly and thoughtfully, 1T doesn't seem
funny to me now, but it did when he

SCOURGE is DEADLY
SIX FATALITIES HAVE OCCURRED
ALREADY IN WEST
WINDSOR.
Two Stories in Regard to the Mystic
rious Disease, Which Was at First
Pronounced Typhus Fever.

Pronounced Typhus Fever.
Four people have died from typhus
fever in West Windsor, and two or
three others are critically i'll. The
physicians think well water was the
source of the contagion. The first vic
tim was Mr.. Slater, a former road
master of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford line, who went to Wind
SCR a few months ago to care for his
aged father. Mr.. Slater's death was
followed by that of his wife and
brother, the latter coming up from
Connecticut to assist in the care of
his stricken family. Elbridge Rug
giles, a farmer, was the fourth to die.
Friends in Windsor and elsewhere at
tended Mr.. Slater's funeral without
knowing the nature of the disease.
There have been no cases except in
the locality where the fever first ap-
peared, and it is believed that with a
strict quarantine the spread of the
disease will be prevented. Typhu1
fever is a very dangerous disease and
is seldom reported in Vermont.
The following despatch sent from
Windsor appeared Wednesday; A
disease has appeared in Windsor
which is epidemic in the mountains
in the western part of the town from
which six deaths have occurred in a
short time. The physicians appear
unable to cope with the trouble, as all
who have been stricken have died
within a week after they were taken
ill. The disease appeared in family
by the name of SHUTTER. Mrs. Slut
ter was first taken sick, the doctors
called it typhoid pneumonia. They
were unable to save her. Soon after
the wifes death, Mr.. SHUTTER was taken
and he, too, died. Mr.. SHUTTER S
brother, and three of his neighbors
took care of him and they too were
stricken in a short time and have all
died.
The state board of health met at
Burlington Tuesday evening to dis
cuss the situation at Windsor. DR..
w. j. Wiltse, director of the State bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratory, was at Wind
sor recently and made an autopsy the
results of which are not fully deter
mined, but will be in a few days and a
statement of the case will then be
made to the public by the board
The board announced Tuesday even
ing that a strict quarantine was be-
ing inforced and that a further spread
of the epidemic is not expected.

SMALLPOX in RUTLAND County.

Six cases of smallpox in mild form
are reported from Poultney, Fair
haven and Castleton. Every effort
is being made to stamp out the dis
ease and an isolation hospital has
been prepared for instant use when "a
new case is found. The state board
of health called a meeting of all the
health officers and physicians in the
county at Castleton Wednesday to
take energetic action to stamp out
the disease. 1t is thought that "a mis-
take was made in the diagnosis of
some of the first cases and that they
were pronounced chicken poX.

Poison Sent from Brandon.

Clues were discovered Wednesday
which strengthen the theory of muir
der. f. c. Spooner, a druggist, re-
ceived March a letter postmarked
ShOreham and signed Ida Fosburg
which asked him to send her some
strychnine which she wanted to use
in killing sparrows. The letter does
not bear the slightest resemblance
to Miss Fosburg's handwriting and
was evidently written by a man. Mr..
SpoOner sent the strychnine in regu-
lation prescription paper, placed in
another envelope. The officers have
a theory that his package was inter
cepted in some manner and then sent
to Miss Fosburg in another wrapper
There is a growing belief that Won
dette is not guilty, and that the clues
will lead to an arrest near Shoreham.

Begins an Offensive Campaign Against
Beers in the Transvaal.
London, Feb. 5.-After a most
desultory and indecisive campaigning
against his enemy, Lord Kitchener
has begun an offensive movement de-
signed to sweep the Beers out of the
whole eastern half of the Transvaal.
Seven separate columns have been as
signed to accomplish the task. They
would operate in wide, fan-shaped
order from bases extending from the
Delagoa railway on the north to the
Natal railway on the south. By keep
ing in constant communication with
one another, the columns will advance
as huge, concerted force along a
battle front of more than 100 miles in
width. Their work will consist not
only in driving the enemy before them,
but also in denuding the country
traversed of every vestige of supplies
capable of supporting guerrilla war
fare" which has harried the British
so increasingly since last summer.
