POISON SENT ORPHAN ASYLUM.
Box of Berries Received by Sisters
Three Deaths Recalled.

Burlington, Vt.-That some one
has murderous hatred for the Cath
olic Providence Orphan Asylum here
is shown by the receipt of a box of
poisonous berries sent to the sisters
by mail. The box was postmarked
Lyndonville, and plainly addressed to
St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum.
No means of identifying the sender
is evident. The berries are believed
to be those of the mountain ash.
Upon receipt of the berries the Sis
tiers sent them to the State Labora-
tory of Hygiene for analysis. -
In this connection is recalled the
death on October 26, 1905, of three
little girls at the orphanage from
some form of poisoning not explained.
The theory at that time was that the
deaths were caused by the children
eating locust berries, or the roots
Of the tree.

and fruit warehouses.
Measured by American standards,
none of the buildings is of eXtrava-
giant design. The public buildings
are low, are built of stone and brick,
and the business blocks are of brick
and never more than three stories in
height. Business centres are at the
intersection of Harbour and Port
Royal streets, and the scene there
during business hours is much the
same as in any American city, except
that negro women, barefooted and
with packs on their heads, and bare
legged negro boys, showing fruit
carts, dart in and out of the maze of
traffic. The Myrtle Bank Hotel is the
largest hotel in Kingston and many
Americans stay there. There are
