Medical authorities in the large cities
annually pirate about the danger of con-
tracing disease in the country districts
when city denizens go out for their sum-
ner vacations. In the meantime a Rut-
land youth contracted scarlet fever while
accompanying his schoolmates on a spring
excursion to Washington, d. C., recent
", showing that the danger is not at all
one-sided. Country people have just as
much in the line of disease to fear in
the large cities as city people have in
the country; indeed, the danger, to our
way of thinking, is greater in the city,
because, contrary TO the notion of city
medical authorities. the country boards
of health and medical authorities are
not so derelict to their trust ms supposed,
and because the normal conditions in the
country are more healthful than in thu
city.

The Deadly Barge Trade.

Again the Atlantic coal barge fleet
was terrible sufferer in the Easter
tempest that swept the coast from Hat
teras to New England. Three barges,
breaking from their towboats, struck
near Highland light, Cape Cod, where
their crews were fortunately saved after
a hard struggle by the coast guard. Two
barges, Bostonbound from Baltimore,
struck near Cape Henlopen and sank
with all hands-ten men. Seventeen
more men were lost by the laundering
OF an ocean tug that lost her nidder,
collided with her barges and drove ashore
on the coast Of Virginia.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"The Trail Of the Lonesome Pine" Com
ing April IL.

In his dramatization of the widely
read book, "The "Trai of the Lonesome
Pine" by John Fox jr., Eugene Walter
has made primitive love the motif for
the feudal war that RACES between the
kinfolk of June, Mr.. Fox's delightful
heroine, and the Falins, who constitute
the clashing mountain clans of the Cum
berland range.
In the production which will be given
at the opera house, Monday, April II, it
will be seen that Walter has amplified
the love story and subdued the feud..
In other words, he makes June's love
for Hale the cause of the feud, i'll which
Dave Tolliver's father, il murdered, and
Berkley's chum, is wounded by young
tolliver, an insanely jealous sutton for
his cousin June's hand. Mr.. Walter
makes June's love arise from compan-
ionship around the lonely pine
In each character the wild spirit of
the mountain clash; the spirit that
brooks no interference from the outside
world is a dominant keynote in every
situation. Judd Tolliyer, Jnne's father,
meets Hale with his Winchester crook
ed in his elbow, and forcibly demands
his name and business If Hale refuses
the inference is that old Judd would not
hesitate to kill him. In every pose the
mauntaineer shows his resentment of
what he terms "furrin' invasion; for
a hundred years they have lived unmo-
Tested within the confines of their hills,
fishing, hunting, moonshining, fighting
each other for a fancied wrong done
by some member of clan long dead,
but which has been kept alive by genera
tions of descendants who hate even
more intensely than their grand papa
did. Their love OF family honor is
above all priced possession, and when
gossip starts concerning June's school
ing being paid for by Hale, and rumor
is sent abroad that the engineer does
not intend to marry June, a Tolliver
starts to ferret out the gossip monger,
but in the ferreting the gossip-monger
shoots him first; then Hale realizes
that the romantic love of the girl is
deeper and purer than he ever imagined
a woman could love, and when he real
Ives it all he does not hesitate to marry
her.-Adv.
