HINSDALE, N. H.
Celebration Of the Fourth.

Independence day came and went with
out any public demonstration by Hinsdale
citizens. AS usual, the approach of the
day was heralded Monday afternoon by
the omnipresent small boy and the in
evitable fire-cracker The might before"
was rendered well nigh sleepless by those
who claim the right to make a noise, but
everyone was good natured about IT, as
none expected "A quiet night. Church bells
were rung vigorously for an hour after
midnight, fire crackers. big and little, were
exploded without restraint, a big bonfire
was kindled. but beyond the tipping over
OF curbing and removing some ratings
beside the highway no damage has been
reported. Two base ball games on River
side park between the Turner's Falls team
and the locals constituted the sports of
the day. few people went out Of town,
and there were a few family gatherings in
town. So long as no damage was done the
rights Of those who wished to make
racket with explosives were not interfered
with. No arrests were made, and, con-
trary to custom on holidays, the ock-up
was without an occupant and no acct
dents from explosives have been reported.
A very few fireworks were in evidence in
the evening and those few were private
displays.

~ in the Windsor county court Saturday
States Attorney Batchelder made the
closing argument and the jury was out
only about an hour. Superintendent w
s. Lowell Of the state prison was among
the witnesses who testified to the con-
dition OF Fred Willette. a convict to whom
II was alleged Sanderson furnished NOR
phine. Sanderson was discharged from
prison three weeks before witness took
charge there. DR.. Deane Richmond of
Windsor, prison physician. testified that
Willette was suffering because Of a dis
continuance of his morphine supply which
he had regularly before his arrival at the
prison. II. L. Rockwell, a druggist OF
Windsor. said respondent had obtained
two lots OF three dozen morphine pills
each from his clerk. Willette. and Casey,
another prison inmate, testified that re-
spondent had given morphine to willette,

St. Johnsburx water suppIx.

The trustees. at the largest attended
village meeting ever held in ST. Johns
bury, Friday night, recommended that the
village go to Halls pond in Concord, a
distance OF about six miles, and establish
a system that would cost at the lowest es-
Innate S105,000. The trustees took this
action as the state board OF health had
announced they would condemn the pres
ent system next June for domestic pur-
poses. 1t is probable that after that date
the river water will only be used for fire
purposes and that the small portion Of
the town now using the river water will
be supplied by the st. Johnsbury aqueduct
company AS the latter corporation now
supplies over nine-tenths of the village no
action was taken on the special report Of
the trustees as the voters were not in
clined TO embark in a municipal enter
prise which would have a competitor that
now furnishes about all the water in the
village.

DR.. KENNEDYS
AvORITE
Breaks no Hearts, Excuses
no Crimes.

DIR. David Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
EDY is not a disguised enemy of the human
race; where it cannot help, it does not
harm. It is composed of vegetable ingre-
dents and does not heat or inhame the
blood but cools and purifes it. In all cases
of Kidney troubles, Liver complaints, Con-
stipation of the Bowels, and the delicate
arrangements which afiict women, the ac-
ton of DIR. Kennedy's FAVORITE REM
EDY is beyond praise. Thousands of
grateful people voluntarily testify to this,
in letters to DIR. Kennedy; and with a
warmth and fullness of words which mere
business certificates never possess. 1t
makes no drunkards-excusesn no crimes
breaks no hearts. In its coming there is
hope, and in its wings there is healing.
We challenge a trial and are confident of
the result. Your druggist has it. ONE
DOLLAR a Bottle. Bear in mind the
name and address DIR. DaVid KENNEDY,

RussIa's Black Sea Fleet pIsmantIsd.

The Black Sea feet, according to a dis
patch from Sebastopol, is being disman-
tied. A council OF admirals and captains
on board the flagship decided to send the
officers and crews Of the warships ashore,
and the engines OF at least one OF the
vessels have been uncoupled.
This action was possibly taken because
Of the failure of the squadron to subdue
the mutiny on the Kniaz Potemline. 1t
Is now admitted that the rebellious bat
tleship was Joined by the Georgt Pobie-
donosetz and that the two vessels refused
to follow the warships Of Admiral Krue-
ger, which left Odessa harbor without
firing a shot.
Advices from Odessa continue to con-
fiict- The authorities say that the crew
OF the Georgi Pobiedonosetz have surren-
dered and that the situation has improved.
but the exodus from the city continues,
and martial law prevails. The Kniaz
Potemkine was reported on the Rou-
manian coast

VIII Enforce Sanitary Regulations.

The board of health gave hearing
last Friday evening in the selectmens
room at the town hall to a delegation of
citizens who presented a petition signed
by SO residents of the town asking for
reasonable enforcement of sanitary regu-
lations and the cleaning up and abate-
ment of all nuisances in our village, which
are threatening an epidemic OF contagious
diseases. The petition requested that the
board of health call In the state board of
health for advice and assistance, IL neces-
sary, to wisely accomplish the end. After
a thorough and friendly discussion the
petitioners withdrew. 1t is not yet known
just what action the board OF health will
take in the emergency but the fact that
not a little has already been done would
seem to Indicate their willingness to do
all in their power with the advice and
assistance of the state board OF health,
with the cooperation of all thoughtful
citizens, to put things in a better sanitary
condition.

No regular celebration was held on the
4th. A number OF boys, both large and
small, made the usual noise and dis
turbance the night berore, breaking INTO
all four OF the churches and ringing the
bells, firing cannon and pistols, burning
boxes Cncluding a barrel OF crockery for
Merchant Ware) on the square, putting
old wagons and sleighs in various places,
etc. The town clock in the Universalist
church was damaged so that It has not
been striking since the Attn and the SOL
diers monument was damaged to some
extent. Such performances are not par
ticularly commendable and are not looked
upon with favor by the greater part OF the
community.

IN OUR OWN STATE.
REMOVALS RECOMMENDED.
Superintendent Hutchinson and Trustee
Of State Insane Asylum Derellet In
Duty-No Graft.

VI otate insane Asylum Derelict In
Duty-No Graft.
The commission appointed by the
governor TO investigate AFFAIRS in the
various state institutions, consisting of
N. G. Williams OF Bellows Falls, II. F..
Brigham Of Bakersfield, and c. H. A.
Stafford OF Morrisville, reported Friday
It's findings regarding conditions at the
state hospital for the insane at Water
bury.
The report covers Is typewriter pages.
It's most important recommendation Is
that the superintendent, DR.. MarceIlo
Hutchinson, be removed for failure to
carry out instructions, and that George
w. Wing OF Montpelier, chairman OF the
board of trustees, be removed, in effect,
for lack OF proper business sagacity and
for failure to cause the superintendent
to obey orders
Gov. Bell already has called for the
resignation of Mr.. Wing.
The commission reports that II finds
the buildings in good repair. Some
changes are recommended in the way of
better ventilation and greater fire pro-
lection, including changes in the matter
of hose and fire escapes. Different
quarters for convalescent patients are
favored and IL Is thought there should
be more room for exercise for the
patients. The report finds that the in
mates have received good care. No fault
is found with the food supply which Is
considered larger than is necessary.
Attention is paid to the question OF
fuel supply. The commission finds that
proper business care has not been ex-
ercised In the purchase OF coal. Recon-
mendation is made that a side track be
laid to the institution to facilitate the un-
loading OF coal and supplies. Had the
system Of purchasing supplies recently
adopted been put in force earlier a large
sum OF money might have been saved.
The accounts Of the institution are found
to be correct.
In connection with the recommendation
that Superintendent Hutchinson be re-
moved the statement is made that the
salary OF $500 and perquisites paid the
superintendent is too large, $4,000 being
considered a sufficient sum. In closing
the commission says that it finds nothing
to Indicate graft, corruption, or dis
honesty of any kind on the part OF the
officials of the institution.
Superintendent Hutchinson has held his
position since April l. 1899. He had had
previous experience in similar institutions
in Massachusetts and was superintendent
OF the Massachusetts hospital for dip
somaniacs and inebriates, at Foxboro,
Mass, when he was called to take charge
of the hospital at Waterbury He is 56
years old. This is the second time that
a superintendent OF this institution has
been changed for cause. the first being
