of Prof. Rosa, the president of the
college, who was classmate ana
roommate of DR.. H. d. Holton in stu
dent days, DR.. Roberts has been
granted many privileges and is allow
ed to operate daily under the direction
of one of the most famous surgeons
in the country. He has performed
personally over 100 operations and
witnessed over 800 since he left New
fame. He assisted a few days ago in
the removal of mans entire stomach,
the operation being thus far success.

surgeon at the New York City hos

one of the best known surgeons In
the city, at which institution about
100 cases are treated daily, about 80
per cent being surgical. DR.. Roberts
will continue this line of work until

thorough knowledge. He closes the
letter with the sentiment: New York
is the place to study surgery and medi-
cine but Vermont to live in every
time"

Governor of WIndward Islands Sees
 Nothing But Disaster.

London, November 18.--The gov ernor of the Windward Islands has sent a dispatch to Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, in which he says the prospects of the inhabitants of the Island of St. Vincent are blacker than they have ever been.
 He believes Georgetown will have to be abandoned, while it is doubtful If any part of the island is out of the range of danger of Lo Soufriere. The dispatch adds that the southern part of the island, to which the inhabitants of the district around La Soufriere have fled in the hope of safety, Is bad off for water and If more people are crowded there they will not be able to exist"
