Vermont Death Rate Was t4.s4 to 1906

Vermont Death Rate Was 14.e4 to 1000.
Vital statistics OF much interest have
been prepared by the state board Of
health. They show that the total deaths
in the state during 1905 were larger than
for the last five years. There were $3.50
deaths, of which 3S4 were still births. In
discussing the statistics the state board
says in the monthly bulletin:
AS still births are never enumerated as
a part OF the population, they may be
deducted. making the deaths of persons
actually enumerated to make up the pop
ulation 1856. This would make the death
rate to the estimated population Is per
thousand During the winter of 1905 the
deaths were much in excess of the same
months in previous years. Nearly half Of
the 1855 deaths in the state were mainly
caused by pneumonia, organic heart dis
ease, tuberculosis, apopleXy, bright's dis
ease and cancer. OF these tuberculosis
is a communicable disease, which should
in the most Of the 4S9 deaths have been
prevented, by the exercise OF greater care
on the part of persons suffering from the
disease in the care of their sputum, and
in their general conduct toward those
with whom they were associated. and
the public in general The same is true
to a considerable degree in the preven-
ton of Barre Times.

WHY MOTT
/ NJ. J. Hapgood's Plan for Securing More
Carefully Considered Legislation.

NJ. J. Hapgood's Plan for Securing More
Carefully Considered Legislation.
The matter of adopting some measure
that will curtail our legislation, and
better insure only sound, practical laws,
simple, plain and universal in application,
has not only become a pressing need, but
has reached the stage of general interest
to the press and the people Its need is
beyond dispute; seemingly the only ques-
tion for consideration is the method to be
used. OF the three plans already pro-
posed-those of district representation,
selecting only the best fitted for represen-
tatives. and returning to annual sessions,
1t is useless, just now, to discuss, since
no one of them could be applicable to the
present legislature.
But another plan has been proposed
which could apply to present use, and so
simple and, apparently effective, in
curing little or no additional expense
beyond what has often occurred, that it
seems worthy of discussion, at least, If
not Of adoption. 1t is a plan of defer
| ing the final passage of bills which have
reached their third reading in regular
] procedure, to an adjourned session, held
at such time as may be determined upon
the members, of course, to draw no pay
for the intervening time, and the ad-
| journed session to be devoted entirely
| to matters already passed upon. The
plan is so simple that it requires no
| elimination for its full understanding. 1t
would need, for adoption, only a joint
rule of the two houses. Its peculiar adr
vantages are these;
| The probable curtailment in the num-
Der of bills introduced, since members
! would naturally shrink from having their
names connected with doubtful measures
that must stand this pressure.
The probable rejection, on account of
| elaboration, of a large number OF bills
that would otherwise pass.
The entire elimination of rush" legis-
| lation during the last week. Upon this
| point no argument is needed.
Due opportunity for the people and the
press to discuss, ventilate and advise in
regard to proposed laws, before their
final passage, making the measure a
| virtual referendum.
With the undisputed fact that of the 400
laws passed at the last session. a large
per cent would fail to stand against de-
sion that scores of useless, II not hurtful
laws are today upon our statute books as
the result OF last sessions lack of due
care and consideration, laws not only
injurious of themselves, but which poison
the laws which would otherwise be Of
service,-how can we fail to be wide
awake to the necessity of prompt, effec-
tive measures of relief Of some kind?
And as any such measures would re-
quire adoption at the beginning Of the
session, there is urgent need for their
immediate consideration and discussion.

NATIVE FARE ON
A|MAnALO SHORE

There is a colony of native fisher
men here who depend entirely for a
living upon what the SEA yields in re-
sponse to their iabors.
The place is an excellent fishing
ground, such big fish as ulua and oio,
and all the smaller kinds, being plen-
tiful. The ulua are obtained by troll
ing a big hook to which a piece of
white cloth with a loose end is attach
ed. This. when kept in motion, resem
bles small fish and the hungry ulua
seize it greedily. The fish run up to
80 pounds in size, the very small ones
being known as papapio.
The oio freauents sandy bottoms and
a ten-pounder when taken on light
tackle furnishes sport not to be de-
spised.
The fishermen dispose of what fish
they don't need for their own use to
the neighboring plantation.
At present quantities of oama, or
baby woke are being caught from the
shore in Japanese throw nets. They
are a dainty little fish and fine eating,
dried.
Ula or crawfish are taken in broad
mesh, narrow nets. buoyed at the top
and weighted at the bottom. The nets
are placed some distance from shore
and the night-roving crustaceans be
come hopelessly entangled in them.
Yesterday the natives menu was
agreeably varied. A raid had been
made on the nesting places of the uau
on Rabbit Island and several dozens of
young birds brought to shore The
uau appears TO he a species of tern.

and beaks appear to be abnorrnally de-

The eggs are laid in holes and on

bird is said to lay two.

ALL KINDS
OF PRIZES
Awards at Dog Show
Will Not Lack
Variety.

The presence of A. P. Vredenburgh
the secretary-treasure of the American
Kennel Club, with headquarters in New
York City, is an evidence of the interest
taken in the Hawaiian Kennel Clubs
show on the mainland. Mr.. Vreden-
burgh has made the trip to Honolulu
for the express purpose of being pres
ent at the first event of it's kind ever
held in the Hawaiian Islands.
The number of entries is as surpris-
ing as it is gratifying, and far exceeds
any estimate. At the closing of the
entries there were listed los dogs.
These are divided into SO classes, and
Will be judged in a ring constructed
In the center of the skating rink. The
awards will be ribbons and diplomas
blue signifying first, red second, and
white third prize. In addition to these
the kennel club, through its friends and
supporters, offers large number of
special prizes. These consist of cups
of every description. and
cash.
The Kfnau yesterday brought a num-
Der of entries from the Island OF Ha-
wall, among which is a clumber span
lei, OF which it is safe to say there
is but one specimen in the islands.
The judge, John Bradshaw, will ar
rive on the Alameda, Friday, the eth
inst. and judging will commence
promptly at 2 p. m. on that day. After
the judging of all the dogs, cards of
the color of the award will be fastened
to the kennels of the winners in the
I respective classes.
It is to be hoped that the public of
Honolulu will avail themselves of this
opportunity of seeing dogs in great
variety at their best.

The experiment of having the fight at
the Zoo was a decided success. Fully
1900 people were present, seated round
the ring and on the bleachers erected
around the ringside seats.
It rained at intervals during the
evening and the water at times leaked
through the canvas overhead, wetting
the flooring of the ring in places. Had

At 2:30 p. m. only five Oahu men were

At the end of the innings there were
nine of the Oahus on hand but one of
them, new man named Steiger who
has been playing for Occidental Uni
versity, had no suit.
The Rams refused to stretch point
and allow the delay necessary for
Steiger to don uniform and claimed
the game by default. Umpire Bower,
under the rules, had no alternative but
to give it to them.

In the second the Honolulus pounded
