Thcro Is considerable npprchenston with
regard to a coso of smallpox In a board
ing houso Just across tho street from the
stato capltol. A young man boarding In a
houso kept by Mrs. Schoonovor had been 111
for several days, but no physician had been
called to attend to the caso. Yesterday Jo
seph McOarraugb, custodian of tho capltol,
mado complaint to tho secretary of the
Stnto Board of Health, and an Investigation
followed which showed that tho young man
was suffering from smallpox. Inasmuch as
the patient had been up and about until
yesterday nnd frequently camo over Into
tho yard of tho capltol and mingled freely
with n number of statehouso employes, and
as nt least two of tho clerks of tho cap
Itol have been boarding In the houso where
tho Illness occurred, there Is fear that
others In tho capltol will bo taken down.
But few cases of smallpox havo been re
ported to tho state board from over the
stato recently, nnd In Cedar Ilnplds, where
tho most serious outbreak has occurred
during tho past year, It Is reported that
practically all cases havo Tcon cured.

Senseless Destruction of Trees Caus
ing Much Talk of Ileforestutlon.
"Tho whlto pine tree Is disappearing,"
said a student of the conifer family to a
Washington Star reporter In tho grounds
of the Department of Agriculture, "though
now that attention has been called to tho
ruthless destruction of tho trees tho various
schemes of reforestation and conservative
lumbering aro being given consideration.
It has been calculated that tho original
stand of white pine In Canada nnd the
United States represented something like
$500,000,000,000 feet of merchantable lum
ber, board measure. In 1899 It was com
puted that tho stand had been reduced to
110,000,000,000 foe(, 64.000.000,000 being In
tho United StateB In tho region of the great
lakes, 40,000,000,000 in Canada and 6,000,000,
00) scattering.
"Tho whlto pine Is distinctively a north
ern tree. The natlvo distribution of the
trco was from Newfoundland on tho east to
Lako Winnipeg on tho west, and thenco to
tho southern boundary of Wisconsin, Mich
igan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Con
necticut. The whlto plno belt also fol
lowed tho Appalachian rango so far to tho
south as Georgia. Tho best growth of tho
treo was In Maine nnd tho British territory
east of that state, along tho St. Lawrcnco
river, In New Hampshire, Vermont, north
ern Now York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne
sota and central Pennsylvania. Tho for
ests of whlto plno havo been annihilated In
New England, though some cutting con
tinues In Maine. Somo white pine still
grows In almost lnacccsslblo parts of New
York and Pennsylvania.
"According to Prof. Spalding, the white
pine trco seldom attalnB a height greater
than 1C0 feet or a diameter of moro than 40
Inches. A treo of this variety once meas
ured by tho division of forestry of the
Department of Agriculture was 170 feet
tall and 48 Inches thick. That treo was
460 years old. It was a Uttlo sappllng
fifty years beforo Columbus sailed from
Palos.
"It Is not an easy treo to propagate, so
many of the seeds being unfertile. It does
not, as a rule, produco flowers and cones
until It Is 15 or 20 years old. During the
first decade of Its life it will grow about
one foot overy twelve months, and then It
grows a little faster till maturity. A tree
20 years old ought to be about twenty-five
feet high, and at 30 or 40 years of ago It
ought to measure about sixty feet."

us being aroused between midnight nnd

"But why don't you go to him?"
"Because sho Is to blame. If she didn't

has gono chiefly under tho chaperonago of
Mrs. Arthur Paget. Evcrywhero her beauty
creates n furore. Sho Is tall and of the
most perfect classical Greek typo Imagin
able. Her mother, also greatly admired, Is
considered almost as charming as the
daughter. Thero Is much sympathy for Mrs.
Baldwin nnd the smnrt ladles havo mado no
secret of their belief that sho has been
much wronged, owing to tho demented
Jealousy of her husband.
Miss Deacon is staying this week with
tho duchess of Marlborough at ninnhnim
palace, having Just returned from a visit to
may ao urey at Coombe. Tho Anglesy
family also Is kind to her and her mnlllAF
A great social future seems beforo her In
London.
Mrs. Langlry has taken a cottago for tho
noiiunys at at. Aucinais bay, Isle of Jersey,
her native placo. Thore she spends the
night at deep-sea Ashing In a small boat
Sho dresses like a Jersey fishwife and han
dles tho bait lines with hor own fair hands,
securing somo big catches.
Owing to an error of tho cable It was
announced recently that Miss Langtry wns
going to pass tho autumn under the chaper
onago of tho marchioness of Granby in tho
snmo villa at Dlnard as her fiance. Ivor
Guest, whereas sho Is going to stay not
In the samo villa, but at Dlnard, with a
chaperon.
Tho cleverness with which Mrs. Corn
wallls West, tho countcs of Essex, tho
duchess of Marlborough, Mrs. Bradley Mar
tin, Mrs. Leslie, Mrs. Paget and other
smart ladles have captured all tho glory
for tho services of the hospital ship Malno
In tho absence of Mr. Baker, president of
tho Atlantic Transport line, to whose muni
flconco England owes tho possession of the
ship, has excited considerable amusement
In society. Mr. Baker's presenting of tho
ship to the British government was ac
knowledged by the admiralty in such un
gracious terms that questions wero put to
the ministers In the House of Commons
asking whether thero would be no suitable
recognition of his generosity which, how
ever, is not yet forthcoming. Meantlmo
tho chief members of the ladles' committee
havo been received by the king, who has
accepted from them a gold medal weighing
flvo ounces commemorating the work dono
by tho Maine.
Americana here tnko particular exception
to tho king's statement that the ladles
committee presonted "their ship" to tho
government, a credit which they nccepted
without demurer or allusion to Mr. Bakor,
Tho king also thanked tho commtttco mem
bers for their "loyal and dutiful service,"
a misplaced phrase, seeing that the real
working members of the committee, Miss
Ronalds, Mrs. A. A. Blow and many others
aro not subjects of tho British crown.
Tho whole affair was sadly mismanaged
and the king is understood to be greatly
Irritated becauso he was not advised con
cerning tho facts.
Mrs. Buckley nutherford la lying seriously

all her social engagements for the next two
months. Mrs, Huthcrford's condition Is
grave, though not hopeless.

PAIHS, July 27. (New York World Cable
gramSpecial Telegram.) Miss Elizabeth
Van Duscn, a wealthy spinster, came to
Paris from Portland, Me., threo weeks ngo,
Itound for Luchon. Sho Intended to remain
In Paris only twenty-four hours, but found
herself overcharged in a swoll restaurant
sho had mistakenly entered. Sho decided
to romaln as long as necessary to make
the culprits disgorge. Her caso was called
this morning. The nowspapors having hnd
much to say about It, tho court was
crowded.
Tho bill for two women, Miss Van Duson
and her companion, amounted to $18. Tho
Judge reduced tho amount one-third, ns
being manifestly outrageous. One item was
$2.80 for a melon. Tho restaurant pro
prietor explalnod that It was customary to
chargo for a whole melon, however little
was eaten. Three French volunteer wit
nesses testified that for a melon tho only
chnrge to them whs $1,
Thereupon the Judgo delivered a sovero
lecturo on tho hideous practlco of "robbing
foreigners. " Ho required tho proprietor
partly to reiraburso tho complainant nnd to
pay tho cost of tho (rial. Miss Van Dusen
says that now sho will sut for $5,000 dam
ages on account of having been detained
here.
An Interesting precedent has been estab
lished In the following opinion contained In
