Scarlet Fever at Keene.

Inc people of Keene are at last thor
oughly aroused over the alarming scar
let fever situation. The churches and
the Young Mems Christian association
are taking action looking to a general
closing of the editiceS Wednesday even
ing of last week the standing committees
OF the First Congregational church and
society voted as follows In view of
the violations of the quarantine regrla-
lions and for the benefit of the public in
general, that this church be closed Sun
day, March 10, 1901" The other church
eS are in sympathy with the movement,
and all will probably be closed. At
a meeting of the board of health Thurs
day morning it was voted to close the
city hall for the present, and that mill
tary drills only be allowed at Armory
hail. The closing of the churches was
recommended, and it was also voted to
. close the public library building. 1t was
also decided that only legal voters of
Union district be permitted to attend the
annual school meeting, to be held Tues
day evening, the Goth, at city hall.
| Ten deaths have resulted from the
scarlet fever epidemic thus far, with less
than 80 cases, against a record of one
death in 80 cases during the recent cpl
demic in Concord Furthermore, the
| disease has spread to all sections of the
/ city, and it is feared that it cannot be
controlled for long time, unless the
most rigid quarantine regulations are
| established and enforced. 1t is generally
felt that special quarantine officers should
be installed in every neighborhood where
| cases exist. There is general indigna-
ton over the inefficiency of the quaran-
tines attempted to be established by the
local health board, the regulations being
constantly disobeyed with impunity.
The members of the board are also the
subjects Of some criticism for riding in
public conveyances after visiting scarlet
fever patients, without proper disinfec.
ton or change of raiment. 1t is felt
that dogs in families that have the dis
ease should be killed, the spread of the
contagion having been traced to dog il
at least one instance. Leading citizeus
have written members of the state board
of health, detailing the main facts OF
the situation there, and it is confidently
expected that the board will investigate
matters at Keene at an early date, and
possibly take the control out of the
hands of the local board. At meeting
of Cheshire grange, held Thursday morn
ing at West Keene, it was voted unan-
imously to postpone all grange meetings
until further notice.

Fixes, Michael and Miller, each at the
height of his career, used Paine's Celery
Compound and acknowledge a debt of
personal gratitude to the great remedy.
The New York World says of Cham
pion Fixes, whose likeness is given
above: ''There is no reason why Fixes
should not claim the worlds champion
ship, having beaten every crack rider in
America and Europe" Like his great
predecessors, Michael and Miller, Fixes
believes Paine's Celery Compound to be
the most wonderful preparation in the
world for Strengthening the nervous sys-
tenn. He has consented to the publica-
ton of the following letter:

Drugged and Robbed.

March 2, early in the evening, select
man George II Fuller arrested on the
Junction House porch in White River
Junction a man seemingly under the in
fluence of liquor and conducted him to
Deputy Sheriff Spaffords office. His
behavior while there was such that it
was determined TO put him in the lock-
up for safe keeping until inquiry could
be made concerning him, for he was
stranger. He resisted the efforts of
Deputies Spafford and Wheeler to remove
him to the lookup, but they accom-
plished their purpose. He had not been
in confinement half an hour before Frank
Tenney saw smoke coming from under
the door of the cooler and as he was
about to give the alarm, F. E. Ayres
came along. The two soon got help,
broke in the outer door and with
sledge hammer smashed the lock of
the cell in which the prisoner was con-
fined. He was nearly overcome by the
smoke which proceeded from the closet
into which he had thrown lighted
matches and pillow from his bunk.
His explanation was that he was looking
for money he had lost and had lighted
the matches to help him see where it
was. A crowd by this time had gathered
around the lookup and there was quite
an excitement in the locality. The fire
was soon subdued, and the prisoner
secured for the night. Monday morning
he was arraigned in the police court.
His whole appearance was that of man
who was half crazed by drugged liquor.
His statement, in brief, was that on Sat
urday he had stopped while on the way
from Enfield, n. H., to White River juno
ton, at house between that place and
East Lebanon, at the invitation of another
man he met on the road. After taking
one drink he was unconscious of what
happened until he found himself behind
the bars Sunday morning. He seemed
to be an intelligent person, and the opin-
ion of the officers and others who saw
him was that he had been drugged and
then robbed. He gave his name as Henry
Lane of Windsor. After satisfactory
arrangements had been made by a lead
ing citizen of Windsor to settle the fine
and costs incurred ON charge of disturb
ing the peace, and costs for intoxication
Justice Darrah having RENTED the fine
for that offence, he was put on board the
train for Windsor. 1t was the worst case
of dragging or doping that ever was
known by our officers, and the unfor-
tunate man must have somewhere fallen
into the hands of an INSCRIPTIONS gang
who drug their victims and then rob
them. Where this occurred we cannot
say.-Landmark.

Cardinal Gibbon on Temperance.

Cardinal Gibbon of the Roman Catho-
lie church recently gave in newspaper
| interview his ideas on temperance. He
said:
Temperance is a good thing; total
abstinence is a good thing. l admire
| the total abstainer who practices what
he breaches. But all of us cannot or
| will not set for ourselves the same rigid
code. Hence, temperance in all things
| is to be urged.
"Our Saviour drank wine. He placed
the cup to the lips of His disciples. He
| turned water into wine. Surely, if my
friends, if my parishioners prefer the
moderate indulgence of the temperate
to the rigorous abStemiouSness which is
supposed to characterize the total alb
stainer, | have no right to quarrel with
them.
Il take it to be folly to try to coerce
my fellow-man into being a saint. Set
him the example, if you will. Force
prohibition upon him, and logically, hav-
ing made him prohibitioniSt because
you have power, you may go on and
make him do, or stop doing, almost any
thing else you, in your superior wisdom
and power, may desire. The church
which humbly represent stands for lib
erty of conscience and freedom of action
within certain well-marked moral con-
fines.
AS to the woman, Nation, admitting
that she is acting conscientiously, she
certainly can effect no permanent good
by doing that which the law has empow-
cred its agents to do. 1t may be depend
ed upon that the executive viii do that
which public opinion calls upon it to do.
Ii the saloon exists in Kansas, 1T is
plain that it exists because the popular
demand for its closing has not been
strong.
g / have never been able to convince
myself" said the cardinal, that what
we call total abstinence is essential to
morality. The moderate and occasional
use of alcoholic liquors is not to be con-
demned. In countries like France and
Italy, where the people, as rule, drink
wine, no serious harm results from the
practice. Even in Rome-even at the
Vatican-wine is not prohibited, and, as
we know, the papal doctors themselves
prescribe it for his Holiness"

At the hour of noon Monday, March a,
Hon. II. II. Powers and Hon. W. W.
Grout ceased to be representative in con
gress. 1t has not often happened, in the
history of Vermont that the entire repre-
sentation of the state in the lower house
of congress was changed at one time. In
1917, when Vermont had six representa-
tives in congress, the entire half dozen
retired and were succeeded by six others,
In 1S43, when Vermont had five repre-
sentatives, all retired and four others
others (the state having lost represen-
tative) succeeded them, the four being
George P. Marsh, Solomon Foot, Paul
Dillingham; and Jacob Collamer. In 1883
Representatives Joyce, Tyler and Grout
went out at once. We think that no
other entire change of Vermont's repre-
sentation in the house has taken place
till now.
