The Board OF Health has address.
cd the following letter to the Super
visors 10 relation to the government
physicians OF tho various islands:
"On tho demand OF the Admins
tration for retrsnchmont 10 expendi.
lures 10 all departments, at an ex-
ecutive session held December 81,
1903, by the Board OF Health, the
positions OF the various Government
physicians were declared vacant, for
the reason that the bulk OF the taxes

expenditure, which is almost exolu-
sivsly county bsne6t, should be
borne by individual counties. The
position OF Government physician

and Territories Of the mainland, and
we believe there is not single in
stance where such provision is not
made"
The health eection OF the County
Act 10 quoted, as "a very wise pro-
vision for the carrying out OF this
most important MEASURE" and the
duties OF Government physicians
ere fully quoted from the Territorial
law on the subject, after which the
letter concludes az iolloTs:
at is impossible for the Territory
to keep up good work and aocurate
statistics without such force OF

psriences in the past have been bit
ter aud costly enough to warrant

DEMOCRATIC DODGES.

All sorts of expedients are being re-
sorted to nowadays by the Den ocrats
to throw mud on Mr. Roosevelt or
dust in his eyes, or in fact to do any
thing that may hinder or check him
in his steady advance toward the goal
of reelection. They accuse him
OF playing politics, but when asked
to specify their charges they subside
in hale articulate gurgles about
Panama" and national honor. I"
They know too we'll that Roosevelt
handled the Panama question honestly,
conscientiously, periodically, and
just as the American people wanted
him TO handle it--they know that too
we'll to attempt to pick any very de-
cided flaws in his conduct. They
know that any Dem ocratic president
in the same place would have done
the same thing, if he were smart
enough to comprehend the situation.
A Cleveland would have done it, a
jackson would have done it. Jeffer-
son would have done it,
The latest anti Roosevelt dodge is
the publication of open letters written
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1904-03-03

to Roosevelt by enemies and the circu-
lation of anonymous letters as if they
were his, or his friends. In New York
the other day an anonymous open let
ter suddenly appeared on Wall street
with copies on sale at book stands.
1t purported to be written by friend
of the President to the multi mill
ionaires" of Wall Street, and was an
agument in favor Of their supporting
the President. The Democrats tried
to create the impression that the let
ter was written by Whitelaw Reid but
it was COO plainly fake to fool many
people. it would seem. Roosevelt is
no fool, and he knows that nothing
will help him more than little ap-
parent distrust by Wall Street, dis
trust which does not go to his honor
or honesty but to his conservatism At
the same time he knows that Wall
Street will ultimately support him as
against Democratic candidate.

the front door and, upon finding il
locked, for the first time realized the
serious condition of matters, and felt
the keenest apprehension for Mrs. Abb
bolts safety. Without stopping to give
the alarm he made rush at the front
door and smashed it in. AS he did so
the flames burst forth in his face and
checked his efforts to advance. He
gave the alarm and in few minutes
neighbors, half clad, began to come
from all directions. Horror stricken
and desperate, different ones made
heroic efforts to enter the burning
building by the door to rescue Mrs.
Abbott, but the flames in each in
stance checked them. Being cut off
from this point of entrance they re-
sorted to the windows which were

had was brother, Clayton Fiske, of

on every, hand that a noble woman
should thus have been taken away

safety.

A QUESTIONABLE MEASURE.

To wit: the Brownlow Public Road
bill now before Congress. In support
Of this measure machine made petit
tions are pouring in to Senators and
Representatives. These are all of the
same pattern, and have evidently been
scattered broadcast over the country
From the comments of an esteemed
correspondent aud his requests for in
formation, it is clear that, in the
sowing, Vermont has not been over
looked. That the Brownlow PROPOSE
tion is extremely catchy" is clear
rom the svidity with which it is
welcomed by the unthinking or de-
signing, and from favoring publica-
tions in the newspapers.
The Waterman and Journal pub
lished a synopsis of the Brownlow
bill soon after its introduction in the

Waterbury, March 1.-The Rev. p.
A. Smith has resigned his pastorate OF
the Methodist church in Waterbury at
ter an efficient and faithful service of
two years. Mr.. Smith is popular in
Waterbury, not only among the mem.

social way outside. He has taken
an active part in the Odd Fellows
Lodge and the Masonic Order, being
an enthusiastic member in both Or
ders. Under the management Of Mr..
Smith both the Sunday evening and
the ThursSy evening meetings have

sion to leave Waterbury.

RET. j. A. SHERBURNE
The Grand Old Man Of the Methodist
Denomination Is No More,

Rev. j. A. Sherburne, the grand ole
man Of the Methodist Conference, died
at his home in Barre on Monday af.
ternoon at 8 80 O'Clock. He was SO
years of age last November and, for a
man of his years, was enjoying good
health. He was taken ill with a
cold last Thursday which developed
into pneumonia, and in spite of any
thing of that could be done the dis
ease got the better Of him. The news
of mis- death will be shock to the
entire denomination throughout the
State, where, for over half century,
his time and strength have been
spent in doing good. Not persc
whom he has been instrumental in lead
ing into the folds of Christ has failed
to look to him for inspiration and
help. Many a young pastor in the
State has found in him a sincere friend
willing to share with him the profits
of his long experience.
He was born in Orange in 1921, and
early decided to become minister.
After his schooling was completed he
entered upon the work of his calling
with a will, and was appointed TO
Brattleboro for bis first charge Since
that time he had cen actively en-.
gagged in preaching, holding charges
in many places in the Vermont Con-
ference. His last charge was Waits
River and Brookfield. After finish.
ing term there he retired from
active service and went to Barre to
live. Although he was not assigned
to any charge there he had been very
active in religious work. His Sabbath
school class in Hedding NJ. E. church,
class composed of young men and
women, was the glory OF his old age
He had been its teacher for several
years, and on Friday last large num-
Der of those who were members of his
class and former members gathered at
the vestry Uf the church for prayer.
Mr.. Sherburne was first married TO
Miss Marinda Barrows of Wardsboro.
His first wife died number of years
ago, and he was married a second time
in 1885 to Miss Hattie Dickey of Barre
who survives him. He has one broth.
er, Newell, living who resides at Ea.
gan, North Dakota. He is survived
also by four sons and daughter,
Frank A. of Montpelier, Rev. l.. o. of
Bellows Falls, DR.. H. K. of Rutland,
Dr.. f. W. of Boston, and Miss Ida ].
of Barre. Ali his sons and daughters
we're at his bedside when he died.
The funeral will be held on Thurs
day afternoon at one O'Clock at the
church in Barre Rev. h.
Lowe, the pastor, will be in
charge. Rev. A. l.. Cooper and Rev.
?. N. Granger, two life long friends
md co-workers in the ministry, will
speak at the fdneral, the former on
lis private life and the latter on his
public life.

were saved. The live stock was all
taken out safely. The property was

BURNED TO DEATH.

Brookfield, March l.-One of the
most horrible deaths in the history of
the country occurred at an early hour
this morning, when Mrs. Ellen Alb
bolt was found burned to death in her
own cottage where she had lived
alone.
The cottage is situated in the bust
ness part of the town, near the cream
cry. The first intimation the sleep
ing village had of a fire was when
william Ford, who was driving to
he creamery with his milk, discov-
cred smoke issuing from the shingles
