STATE NEWS.

Mr. and Mrs Erastus Sherburne, OF
North Danville, celebrated their Goth
wedding anniversary July 4.
At meeting of the Barre city
council Tuesday evening it was voted
to appropriate a sum not to exceed
$50, 900 for a new fire station and lot
on which to erect it.
The condition of Martin S. Was,
of Burlington, who was severely in
jured the evening of July in run
away accident, is slowly improving
and it is thought he will be out in
week or so.
Clarence Phillips, of Glover, IT
years old, shot large gray eagle near
Parker pond Friday evening. The
bird was asleep in tree when it was
discovered. 1t measures seven feet
from tip to tip of its wings.
Ernest the ten-year-old son of Mrs
Ann Cross, of Montpelier, died We'd
nesday morning of lockjaw after the
most desperate efforts of several
physicians for thirty hours to
save his life. The lad was conscious
to the end but his last hours were not
characterized by the fearful suffering
which generally follows such cases.
The evening of July the boy had
in his hand blank cartridge and
several stones. The cartridge was ex-

BODY WAS
KINGSLEYS
Who Disappeared in New York
Last November.

The body found in Harlem river a
New York Wednesday has been posit-
lively identified as that of Harry B.
Kingsley of Rutland who disappeared
while on visit to New York last
November.
The body was found directly under
a railroad bridge and had evidently
been stuck fast in the mud and it is
now thought that Kingsley fell froM
the bridge in attempting to cross it,
although his presence there is still
unexplained.
His money and valuables were found
on the body showing that it was not
case OF murder or robbery.

MEAT PRICES

Eastern Houses Are Picking uD
All the Available Native
Beef,
BUT WILL HAVE TO SOON

A canvass of the local meat markets
this morning showed that as yet the
price of meat has not been raised by
the strike.
This is probably due to the fact that
the dealers are selling now meat that
was bought before the recent distur-
bance.
One reported that the wholesale
price to him was higher for the first
time this morning.
In Troy the price has already been
advanced two cents per pound and in
the larger cities it has been raised
even more. Boston and New York

Transports.
VLADIVOSTOK SQUADRON

LONDUlS, July 15.-Advices from st,
Petersburg say that the people of st.
Petersburg retired last night in hap
ny frame of mind The absence of "a
dispatch from Lieutenant General
Stoessel, commander of the military
forces at Port Arthur, regarding the
reported disaster to the japanese is
generally attributed to the delay in
communicating official news owing to
the absence of the emperor.
Private dispatches received in st,
Petersburg from Russian sources in
the far east confirm the reports from
Mukden and Chefu. According to
usually reliable source the japanese
losses We're $500 and the Russian losses
1900.
The city remains in ferment of ex-
element, and extras are eagerly bought
up in the hope of finding the long eX-
pected dispatch from General Stoessel
1t is quite certain that there is no
disposition in any quarter in st. Pc
tersburg to question the truth Of the
news There is a general conviction
that as Viceroy Alexelen decided TO
communicate the report to the general
staff It must he true.
The war Office had some hesitation in
giving out the dispatch owing to its
dubitative wording. 1t is contrary TO
the custom of the war Office TO publish
statements made with such reserve as
Viceroy Alexeiefr thought 1T to adopt
The rejoicing in the Russian capital
is increased by foreign dispatch con
firming the japanese reverse. The
question is eagerly asked If the Rus
slams took advantage of the Japanese
discontinue to follow up the blow and
intict a crushing defeat, with possibly
the capture of the siege guns.
The news that the Nladiyostok cruis-
crs and torpedo boats were out again
filled the Russian cup of joy.
Emperor Nicholas and Grand Duke
Michael have arrived at Samara and
were cordially welcomed. The en-
peror reviewed the troops under or
ders for the far east and then visited
the cathedral
The Russian outposts apparently are
not Offering serious resistance on Ell
ther of the Siuyen roads or along the
line Of General Okus advance. There
may be "A slight collision at Tangchi,
where General Kuropatkin probably
has stationed his left wing rear guard
The Japanese are utilizing Kaichow to
land supplies.
General Sacharoff also reports the
appearance of General Kurokis out
posts considerably south of Liaoyang
This is an indication of a general
tianking movement on Haicheng.
The Japanese northern outposts are
falling back on Saimatsza, probably
due to pressure on the part of General
Rennenkampff.
A Tokyo report says that the Japa-
nese have occupied Yinkow and that
the 800 Russians who were in the
town escaped with difficulty.

Warning to Farmers.

What has been called the ginseng
:raze" has been so prevalent among
farmers in many districts of the United
States that the department of agricul-
ture has considered 1t expedient to sound
a note Of warning. Previous to 1909
China imported from this country only
$4,000 pounds Of ginseng in four years
"a quantity which could be raised on
single farm Of rs acres. Let ginseng
alone. 1t is delusion and a snare" is
Secretary Wilson's advice to farmers.

THE RUTLAND STRIKE.

All the Shops Are Affected and Several are
Closed.
Rutland, July l5.-There is but little
change in the marble workers strike
today.
The strikers claim the force of their
action is gradually being felt at the
Vermont Marble company's plants
and this would seem to be true from
the fact that the Proctor plant was
operated yesterday by the fewest men
thus far, some departments being clos
ed entirely. The cutters in the monu-
mental department at Proctor has
gone out almost every man.
There we're few men at work in the
finishing shops at the Center and West
Rutland plants yesterday, but the
amount of their outcome is small.

GAVE UP LIFE FOR CHILD.
Nurse Saves Little One, But Succum BIS
to Same Diseases She
Fought.

Nurses are among the heroic fight
ers of the world. The Contagious hos.
pital at North Brother island, New
York, has recently been the scene Of
a brave sacrifice on the part of young
nurse who displayed that love than
which no man hath greater. She gave
up her life to save that of a child. The
New York Sun tells the story:
At the Polytechnic hospital little girl
developed an alarming form of scarlet
fever. 1t was necessary to remove her
to North Brother island, and Miss
Mailer, a graduate of the Rochester
university and the City Hospital Train
ing School, volunteered to go into ex
lie with her. At the island diphtheria
developed and the case seemed hope
less. For two weeks, night and day
the untiring nurse fought, single-hand-
ed, and through her wonderful skill
and, unselfish devotion, at the end of
that time the little patient was out of
danger.
Then the two grim diseases attacked
the faithful caretaker, and worn out
by the long and ceaseless vigil, she
had no strength with which to resist
them.
She refused to be removed to better
quarters, and there. in the very place
where she had conquered for the little,
unknown girl, she fought another bat
tie, and this time was overcome. Like

risk, knowing and counting we'll the
cost, and she accomplished her pur-
pose, for the child was saved.
