Quarantine Removed from the O'Don-
 nell House Yesterday.

nell HOuS6 l eSLeruay. l Yesterday afternoon Health Officer Munger removed the quarantine sign from the O'Donnell house, where the two smallpox patients have been con- l fined. Both cases were a mild type of the disease and the patients have been well enough to be out several days ago. The authorities are to be com mended for the prompt and efficient manner in which they handled the dis ease and prevented its spread. We hope that there won't be any more of | 1t, neither this season nor next fall.

 "A cold wet May makes a barn full of hay" What will cold dry May make? For cold weather and drouth this month certainly breaks the record. So far there has been no warm wealth CT whatever and farmers are beginning to wonder how the hay crop is going to come out. Having time Is only six 1 or seven weeks ahead, and still the meadows look more red than green in most places. The past two or three seasons have showed decided short age ill this crop and it looks now as though 1902 was going to be very lit tie if any better.
 Last evening for the first time in several months the firemen's pool room was dark. It is an off night when the firemen's roms are not patronized. The foresters anniversary and benefit probably accounted for the desertion of these popular roms.
 A well dressed woman Of middle age came to Watertown on the 4:2O train yesterday afternoon. She brought q great big jag along with her. After zigzagging from the depot to Sulliyan's drug store she concluded she didn't want to go any further, so she took the l back track and brought up in the depot again, where she went to sleep on a bench.
 Last evening as early as 7:30 steady stream of people began to pour into the town hail. all of them on pleasure bent and incidentally to help worthy cause at the same time. The occasion was the anniversary and benefit given by Court Merritt Heminway, F. of A.. for Henry St George Since the mat ter was first started Mir St George has passed over to the great majority. His widow and two children are left to mourn his loss The proceeds derived from last evenings entertainment will be turned over to her. The entertain ment given by local and out of town talent was of q high order and was received with much applause. After the stage entertainment the floor was cleared for dancing. which was kept up until an early hour this morning. Supper was served during the evening. The sum realized could not be learned. but we have the assurance of the com mlttee that it was snEciently large to merit calling the affair grand suc- cess.
 In the Congregational chapel to-mor- row evening Watertown will enjoy an entertainment decidedly out of the usual order. Mrs Abby Buell. Burnell. who spent years in southern India, will impersonate a high caste Hindu wo- man, and, dressed in the bright, grace ful native costume, twill tell the story of that life. Many have spoken of this as if it were a ''lecture.'' It is not q lecture. however, but a story of human life. told interestingly and picturesque ly. At s o'clock Friday evening.
