SMALLPOX rs IMPORTED
LumberJacks Bring In Disease, and Lodg'
ing Houses Are ThoroIy Fumfgated.

Z ing Houses Are ThoroIy Fumigated.
With the typhoid fever epidemic already
keeping the health officials on the jump,
an influx Of 'Iumberjacks" from the
northern part Of the state is likely to
spread smallpox. Seven cases have been
located and quarantined this week. and
the lodging house district is being forced
to undergo a thoro housekeeping and
fumigation, while vaccination is epidemic.
The plan Of the health department is to
make a descent on the lodging houses
when the guests" are in bed. All exits
are closely guarded and every inmate is
'vaccinated. For several nights this work
has been going on and 1t is hoped that
such heroic methods will prevent "a small
pox outbreak.

JUSTICE PHELPS
 SENDS HIS REGRETS
IS SORRY HE IMPOSED FINE ON
 BRITISH ATTAcHE, BUT HE WAS IGNORANT OF INTERNATIONAL F LAW.

Boston, September 29. 9.-Expressions of regret by Governor John L. Bates and special Justice II. c. Phelps of the muni- cipal court at Lee, Mass, that want of knowledge of International law had re- suited in the imposition of a fine by Judge Phelps on Hugh Gurney, third sec tetary of the British embassy, have been forwarded to the state department at
 Washington.
 Secretary Gurney on Monday last was adjudged guilty of exceeding the laws governing the speed of automobiles. and of contempt of court in refusing to plead the charge against him, and was fined $50.
 He protested and the matter was called to the attention of the s-ate department by ,ne British ambassador with the re- suit that Governor Bates was asked fo Investigate. Prompt action was taken by Lieutenant Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., In the absence of the governor, and by Gov ernor Bates on his return to the state yesterday and several letters bearing on the case were sent to Washington.
 The statement of Justice Pheps of Lee, which he sent to MT. Gurney is an elab- oration of the facts in the case briefly set forth in the letter of Governor Bates to the state department
 2 The statement made by Mir. Gurney before the court, Justice Phelps says, were of such a character as to appear to him to be a manifest and intentional defiance of judicial authority and to be. as he found and believed in contempt of the court. He proceeded, he said, in ignorance of the usages of international law, and of the provisions or the Federal statutes, the question never before hav- Ing come before the court, or never pre- scented to him to advise him of his error In the premises The action of the court, Justice Phelps declares. was inspired wholly and absolutely by a purpose to enforce athe law and for the protection of human life endangered by the con- duct of MT. Gurney as established by the evidence presented to. him.

 believe the flabbiness of college men IS increasing I do not believe that there ever was time when taking all In nll, college men held a purpose more firm' or when their moral character was more vigorous or when their grit and pluck was more admirable. A certain pucohc brusdueness of manner certain rural simplicity are indeed passing away. But the passing of brusqueness and or slm- nlicitv does not indicate the coming or weakness and insipidity. Robustness un- derlies bucolic brusqueness. The express sion of hearty vigor. intellectual and ethical. has become more human, more ree1,Iar more sane and more gentle. But the hearty vigor itself is just as hearty and just as vigorous. One should not mistake uuietness for weakness.
 Furthermore, the whole athletic move ment makes against flabbishness. Let If be at once acknowledged that this movement has bad. very bad clements. But let 1t also be said as promptly that 1t has clements. also many, which are very. very good For 1t does tend to create manhood more vigorous and conscientious.

nThs Eternal cItv.n

''The Eternal City, will be at the Jef- ferson theatre next Tuesday and it will be presented by the same company that was here last January and which made such a hit at that time.
 In speaking of the New York City per- formance of this company the Herald said:
 The Academy of Music opened for the season last night with Edward Morgan as the star in Hall Caine's drama, "The Eternal City" The big theatre was crowded, and both the star and play were received with much enthusiasm.
 In the course of season the patrons of the Academy of Music get a little of everything from farce to melodrama, but 1t is a kindly public, liberal with It's ap- plause and always appreciative.
 Last night It's applause was well merit ed, for the stirring play was elaborately staged and the company is a superior one. None of the points missed fire, and there were curtain calls seemingly with out end.
 MT. Morgan's David Rossi is already ia miliar to tho public, and he acquitted himself with marked credit last night

A LOVER OF ROSES.
Dean Hole, Famous Clergyman, Grew
 Them All His Life.

From the Chicago News.
 Dean Hole, the famous English cler- gyman who died recently, grew roses in profusion all his life and wrote a book about them which has been translated into many languages The dean was quick to notice roses wherever he saw them. Often he would stop at a cottage and chat with the owner as to his meth ods of treating his roses if they were especially good. He was thoroughly con- vinced of the moral influence of flower growing upon character. "A man who loves his garden Is more likely to love his children" he would say. He was anxious that working men should take a deeper interest in their gardens. In the opening sentences of his famous book he says: He who would have beautiful roses in his garden must have beautiful roses in his heart
 When friend with whom Dean Hole was riding one day told him that the rose he had recommended had turned out badly he said: Robert, I never in my life recommended a person of your pro- found ignorance to have anything to do with roses. You asked me to give you a list of the best, and I did so reluctant ly, knowing that you had neither the taste nor the energy to do them justice As to the outlay. the animal on which you have recklessly placed yourself and whose hooks are a disgrace to this park. cost you. l know, 80 guineas, and for tithe of that sum, without further super vision or effort, you expect a beautiful rose garden.
 Dean Hole was once puzzled by a great lady asking him what he thought of her nose, as she understood he was such an authority on nosesl The dean would cap this story by relating how a learned pro lessor was sent down to dinner with a lady who had been told by the hostess that he was a great authority on Budd- ha. The lady mistook it for butter and piled her companion with questions as to butter and dairy produce. on which he knew nothing.

cocK-cRoWINo IS AN ART.
How French Boosters Are Trained for
 Competition.

From the London Express.
 Great preparations are being made in the northern districts of France for a cock-crowing competition, which Is to take place in Paris next month.
 The French Bantam club have made the discovery that the pest growing cocks are those whose hens are the best lay CTS, and for the time being cock-crowing seems likely to oust cock-ighting as a popular pastime.
 Owners take immense pains to make who is hoping to take a prize at the competition, showed me two very fine birds, which he keeps in cages in his stable. The cages are so covered over that. though there is plenty of air, no light can penetrate.
 Every day the cages are taken out into the open air, and the covering sud- denly removed, when the cocks imme- diately begin to crow loudly under the evident impression that they have over slept themselves and that the dawn is far advanced.
 After a quarter of an hour of this ex- ercise the birds, who must consider the days extremely short and the nights ex- tremely long, are taken back to the stable and covered over again. This goes on for several weeks before the competition and increases the birds desire to crow long and loudly every time he sees the light.
 The birds are fed in a special manr CT peculiar to each owner. the secret of which is jealously guarded. For the three weeks prior to the competition the food is carefully dosed, and made as stim- ulaung and exciting as possible. The tird is then sent to the show. During the growing contest a timekeeper with a chronometer stands in front of each bird and marks the number of crows and the variation of notes in a given time, gen. orally fifteen minutes.
