The prevalence of smnllpox to some extent
In this \lclulty has called forth what might
< jo termed wholesale vaccination , Those
who are subjected to tlio operation know ,
In a general * \y. that It Is done as a specific
to smallpox , but how It accomplishes that
result and just what the vaccine virus used
da , and how It Is obtained , are questions that
% ory few know , but which would undoubt
edly bo of Interest to a great many people
at the present tlmo.
For a long time after Jcnner's discovery
nf the principles of vaccination In 1798 It
was practiced In a crude manner nnd re
sulted seriously , If not fatally , In so many
caies that the operation for a while was
considered even more dangerous than the
disease tr U It was Intended to prevent , or
at least ameliorate. That was the renult of
vhat was known as the arm to arm vaccina
tion nnd was In reality but a transference
of smallpox from a patient to u well person ,
plus the danger of also transferring more
dangerous constitutional diseases.
HOWOUT , when the medical fraternity dis
covered the similarity of cowpox to small
pox a solution of tlio diniculty was found ,
vhlch has resulted In making the operation
Of vaccination entirely safe and elllcaclous.
The virus used In vaccination now forms
a great Industry In this country , there be
ing not less than a score of great "vaccine
farms , " to say nothing of 100 or more lesser
concerns scattered throughout the country.
Cnre In i'rodiicliiir.
These farms cither raise or buy a num- '
tor of heifers for the purpose of producing
the bovltiolrun. . None of these must bo less
than 1 year nor more than 3 years old at
the tlmo the virus Is made. Eighteen
months Is the age preferred. From the time
onn of these calvea conies on the farm she
has the tcndcrest and best of caro. First , a
veterinary surgeon examines her for tuber
culosis or other Inoculablo diseases , and If
c\en a predisposition to any of them Is dis
covered , fiho Is promptly rejected. But
proving sound In thli respect , she Is fed on
wholesome food , sponged down , and rubbed
off dally until h Is In the pink of condi
tion when the first step la taken for the pro
duction of virus. There arc two methods.
Ono Is Inoculation of the calf with genuine
smallpox ; the other with the virus frtim a
lase Of cowpox. The latter Is preferred at
most of the farms , and the supply la kept up
fry a calf to calf vaccination.
This vaccination pioduces on the calf an
Indented pock , which flits with a substance
called lymph , In from eight to thirteen days.
This , lymph Is gathered with the greatest
care and placed In reservoirs where It Is
nubjccted to a low temperature of heat for
Komo hours. However , It must be borne In
jnlnd that the lymph from one heifer Is never
mixed with that -from another. After treat-
dng It In this way a skilled bacteriologist
makes a careful examination of It to see
that U has not become contaminated with
foreign bacilli. Finding It all right In this
respect l\ory points which have been treated
antluceptlcnlly are produced and are dipped
into the lymph from one heifer. These arc
then placed In a retort to dry , being sub
jected to a temperature not exceeding 100
degrees Fahrenheit. When thoroughly dried
they arc again dipped Into the lymph of an
other heifer and then go back to the retort
for the same treatment as given In the first
Instance. Tbls completes the drying and
after being again inspected by the bac
teriologist they are placed In a steel cylinder ,
points downward , and are ready for use.
JloweAtr , with all of thU care , It Is quite
Impomlblc to preserve the points from In
fection i > y micro-orgaiilsind , and while
there Is HO little danger from thli source
that It may bo disregarded , yet the object
ot \lrusinakers Is to keep It as free as
possible from foreign bacteria. The purest
virus is that put up In another form. This
undergoes the same sterilizing process as the
points , only It Is poured Into capillary tubs ,
which are hermetically sealed and when
used the tube Is broken and the vlrui blown
on the abralsed flesh.
IlpKiilt of Vaccination.
This \trua in whichever form muat be
used when fresh. Just how long vaccine re
tains the power of Inoculation In a question
feet definitely settled , hut physicians arc
agreed that It should not be used longer
than.cighteen days after being extracted from
the calf. AH a matter of fact , all first-class
establishments gl\o definite Instructions to
druggists handling the virus to return 1
us soon aa It Is fifteen days old.
AB to the result of vaccination and Its ef
feet OD dlfforent constitutions there Is semi
interesting Information. Aa a general thing
U may bo stated that from three to nine days
after the operation It produces In the pa
tlcnt a modified form of cowpox.
Many of the beat physicians now refusi
ito use the virus points nd will not vac
olnato the patient with anything but tin
liquid vims. The e doctors aluo no longei
"scarify" or abralflo the flesh In order to
aoclnate , but administer the virus by hy
podermlo injection. The matter Is placml In
regular hypodermic syringe , the skin li
punctured with the needle of the little In
etruruent and the g rms are thrown at onci
( nto the blood. The advantages of that plan
nro ttmt the operation Is not painful and th
period of Incubation Is hastened. It la ale
eald that Kie scar left is not so Urge am

cut or scratched to receive the vlrtti , which
ia neither dangerous nor painful , althoug
there are case * on record tn which it pro
duoed almost every symptom and Incon
venlonce of smallpox , but the oases are sc
rare that they scarcely dcserva consider *
lion.
Repeated efforts at vaccination hare fallc
on certain persons , , who wore pronounces
"Immune" by the physicians , and yet on th
first exposure fell victims to the disease
The better opinion U that no one Is real !

eminent physician makes tbls tatemcnt
"If I were exposed on Monday and vac-
clnilcd on Tuesday the result would bo
satisfactory ; but If I were vaccinated on
Wfldmsdny the result would not be so Rood ,
while If I waited until Friday It would done
no good at all , " The fame authority says
thtt' ho baa tried administering virus In
ternally , but that the operation was barren
ot mulls.
Some- yearn ago er > slpclaa frequently ac

1 on record In which death wa speedily pro
duced by It , to say nothing of the amputa
tions rendered necessary. But In all of
the\e ca es vlrun from a diseased nnlmal or
person had been used. These unfortunate
results led to the abandonment of human
virus and to the adoption of the greater

matter as science can produce. Dut oven
after these precautions If the virus U al-
loned to become ntale there Is always dan
ger of BPptlc decomposition In the matter
Itself , and hence the precautions taken In
having It returned before It can become In
fected.
From flll of this the conclusion may be
drawn that whatever mlBtakce were for

Incurred thereby they have been so mini
mized by science and klll that today vac
cination Is absolutely a harmless yet potent
detergent of all of the diead horrors with

SMALLPOX AT NEBRASKA CITY
Hon. J. Strrllnw Merion Su taln Dr.
Towne and A kn I.cnl lnllvc
Action.
Dr. B. F. Crummcr of this city , who ha *
been assisting Dr. Towne In an attempt to
stamp out the smallpox at Nebraska City ,
In speaking of the reluctance of the people
of that place to take measures to prevent the
further spread of the scourge , aatd :
"Last week when n conversation between
Dr. Towne and Health Commissioner
Spafdlng was reproduced In The Bee , the
Nebraska City papers came out In the most
virulent abuse of Dr. Tonne and members
of , tbe , State Board of Health. When the
doctor returned to Nebraska City he found
a certain element almost ready to mob him.
"Tho evidence of Hon. J. Sterling Morton
substantiates all that Dr. Tow no
claimed and shows the difficulty that the
Board , of Health has had to labor under.
It also furnishes the strongest argument for
the need ot Immediate legislation on health
matters In Nebraska and at the name tlmo
demonstrates that advice and assistance ot
the "board go for naught when not backed
by proper authority. "
In writing to Dr. Towne relative to the
smallpox situation at Nebraska City , Mr.
Merion says :
sincn talking with you this morning I
have concluded that It IB my duty , as n
citizen having at heart the best Interests
of the community In which I live , to witu
you tersely and definitely about the sanitary
conditions of Nebraska Cltv.
Your work during the last two months
has bees of great value to tbls people. But
you i have been handicapped by the non-
exItteHc * of any law giving you power to
enforce the very aholesome tanltary regu
lations -which you proscribe. There are , as
you know , a number of homes wherein con
tagions emallpox has recently held the In
mate * within its grip for weeks that never
have been disinfected. More tnan that ,
even the clothing of the Inmates who suf
fered from the disease has never been dis
infected. More than that , the owners of the
residences and of the clothing and beddtrig
have declined absolutely to permit disin
fection under th * direction ot either the
local or the State Board of Health.
In view of the above- facts It is Imuor-
tant that the legislature of Nebraska enact
a sanitary code and give the officers who
are to act under It plenary power to enroro
ill of til orovlslons. A law which Rives
the officers no power to execute it and pro
vides no oenaltle * for those who violate It
IB a mire farce. All the sanitary laws of
Nebraska are Inefficient today and abso
lutely inoperative. Unices we do get a
fltrlngent and efficient Mnltarv code and got
It very noon no man can tell what com
munity' in the state will be exempt from
* a epidemic of smallpox.
Hoping that you will take thin matter
alrectlr to the governor and also the chair
man of the judiciary committee In the icn-
uto.aod likewise to the chairman of me
judiciary committee In the house , and to
gether with Dr. Bailey and other memners
or your profession do overytding In your
power to bring about the speedy enactment
and. rigorous enforcement of a stringent
sanltarr code to prevent the spread or con
tagious diseases. Yours respectfully ,
J. STERLING MORTON.
Mr. Morton , accompanied by the mayor of
Nebraska City , recently visited the got-
ernor. had a conference upon the subject of
the cMdemlc In Nebraska City , and the
members ot the state board think that tncy
nave abundant reason to feel that the con
servative people of Nebraska City are fully
in sympathy with them and with Dr.
Towne In the work which has been done
at ttiat DO I at. Nearly every case that ha *
nprun up in this state or In lowu has b on
directly traceable to Nebraska City , and It
U believed tfctt very prompt action will
be taken by tne legislature giving to the
Hoard of Health § uch power as may be

ARQUHKNT AGAINST VACCINATION.
Preventive of Dl ea eVer e
Than the Hmiillpnx.
OMAHA , J n. 28. To the Editor of The
Bee : In The Bee of January 26 there ap
peared * brief editorial paragraph apropos
to the existing smallpox scare , which I re
gret you did not enlarge upon. I have looked
during the last month for a letter or ar
ticle. In the public press of Omaha from
some member of the medical fraternity on
lull question and have been both pained
and tfcagrlned at seeing naught but Insist t-
ent upoc vaccination as the only prevent
ive. I have been astonished and amused
at the recklessly absurd language used In
this'connection and could only attribute It
to one ot two causes , vlr. : Ignorance as ( to
tor
the history ot vaccination and Us results era
a play * upon tbe credulity of the many with
mercenary motive. It Is painful to be driven
to either on * ot these conclusions In this
latter part of the most enlightened century
ot all , but -while the old saw "Doctors differ
fu
fer and patients die , " receives dally now em-
uV9
phusut It U comparatively easy to believe
both.
both.Many
Many physicians of Omaha are free to de
clare that there Is not and baa not been a
case of smallpox In the city. Some of the
progieHslve ones do not believe In the ef
ficacy of vaccination and > et fewer still vo
hail the moral courage to refuse to ce
It.
It Is a well established fact that a pre
disposing agent , fear , stands easily at tlio
head ; * In other words that for a person to
bo Intensely afraid of a disease that may
bolu the vicinity Is almost sure to lead to
"
Its"contraction. Consequently I hold that
tlis Board of Health and Board of Educa-
tloa have been reckless In the manner In
which they have stirred up the fear of our
citizens. Weak-minded adults and children .
have been thinking of nothing , speaking of
nothing but smallpox , smallpox , until not
only their days have been rendered.mis , T
erable , but their sleep has been disturbed
by the dread of the disease.
leaving < he question of the genuineness
of the cae reported to one side , what hat
b * n done to check the rising of that most
potent pro-disposing agent fear not a
thing ; but rather to the contrary , and when
th. ) excitement was high the much vaunted
vaccination was urged and even commanded ,
although U Is questionable to me wbether
either board or both together have the
power'to make vaccination compulsory ,
By what authority , may I ask , can the
.Hoard .of Education refuse to permit a
child's attendance at school for not being
vaccinated ?
It Is alt right and In accord with Rood
enso to prohibit attendance ot children
from Infected homes or vicinities for that
matter , but what ecnsc Is there In drawing
tlic line on the mere matter of vaccina
tion just as If being vaccinated made It
Impossible for the person lo convey the
germs df disease. Closely following the
action of the Board of education cornea the
silly , panicky orders In some of our largo
business houses that all their employes have
the vile poleon of the brute Injected Into
their systems , and now , as If to cap the
climax of one folly , the preservers of the
peace are commanded to become disabled
for a tlmo by the same process. Can It be
possible that this latter order ban been It-
sued with a view to ! a\or tlio festive bur
glar and hold-up ?
H Is well established that \acclnatlon does
not render the person Immune nor less
likely t carry the seeds of disease. Where
then 13 the \aluo of the local orders re
ferred to ?
Permit a brief reference to the history of
the pet specific. The total deaths from
smallpox In modern times Is almost the
same ns It was In prcvacclnatton times ,
Then It was 18.8 per cent. Corresponding
aggregates In English nnd American hos
pitals since 1S70 show a mortality ot 16.5
per cent.
Notwlthstandlnc the fact that Itussla was
the ben * revacclnatcd country In Europe ,
Its mortality from smallpox In 1871 was
higher than In any northern state. AccordIng -
Ing to Statistician Vogt the doatn rate from
smallpox In the German army , In which all
recruits are rovacclnated. was 60 per cent
more than among the civil population ot
came age. The Bavarian contingent , which
was ro\acclnated without exception , had fl\e
times the death rate from smallpox lu the
epidemic of 1870-71 that the Bavarian civil
population of the same age had , although
revacclnatlon U not obligatory among the
laitter.
It Is often alleged and commonly bc-
lle\cd that the unvacclnatcd arc so much
Inflammable material In the community nnd
thnt smallpox begins among them and FO
gathers force nnd sweeps even thp vaccinated
before It. In Colojrno In 1870 the first tin-
\acclnated person attacked by smalluox was
the 147th In order of time ; at Bonn , the
same year , the forty-second and at LelgnlU ,
In 1871 , the 225tli.
The experiment' not revacclnatlne the
nurses was tried at the smallpox hospital In
Dublin In 1871-72. Twenty-nine out of
thirty-six attendants had not been revac
clnatcd . and these all escaped , as well as
the other seven.
Now , then , we come back to what sug
gested thlr letter. Cleanliness , after all ,
Is the best preventive in all cases of threat
ened epidemic. The same imount of money
that has been spent In courting sickness
and possible permanent Injury through vac
cination duilng 'ttie ' last mouth , If spent
In ' urging the people , e\erv one , to mom
frequent ablutions for personal safety and
cleansin ? of premises and alleys for larger
security would ha\o been far more beneficial
to the city at larce.
Bath houses under city control , wh re a
lerson without home convenience could for
merely nominal cost procure a frequent
cleansing would be a constant benediction
nnd would hasten the time which doubtless
will come when men will wonder that we
in this enlightened age tolerated the filth
of vaccination. ANTI-VAC.
DETECTIVES AFTER A THIEF
Two Hell norm of n Hotel Under Ari
rest on Simpiclon of
Implicated.
A scries ot thefts that have proven enig
mas to both the police and the proprietors
of the Mercer hotel , where they occurred ,
have been perpetrated recently by an enter
prising thief , who knows the knack of com
bining mystery with dishonest Ingenuity.
Sometimes small amounts of money have
boon missing ; at other times It was a vaiu-
able article that could not be found. In
every Instance circumstances pointed unrals-
takably to theft , but the person imoltcated
was skllfull enough to leave no trace that
would lead to bit detention.
Sunday evening F. J. Coates , the proprlo-
tor of the hotel , reported at the police sta
tion that another thift had been discovered.
Tills time It was money to the amount of
$25. This sum won taken from the room of
Harvey DeWltt , the day clerk , some time
between Saturday noon and Sunday noon.
The money li supposed to ha\e been stolen
by a person who knew of the place where It
was kept probably by eome one connected
with the hotel.
The clerk , a bell boy and a mnld are the
only ones who bad a key that would unlock
the door. Two boys suspected of the theft
are locked up In the city jail. They gave
assumed names. Detectives have been dc-
tailed to work on the cose and they expect
to arreet the culprit today if he has not already -
ready been apprehended.
Horrible agony Is couscd by piles , burns
and skin dlieases. These are immediately
reHeved and quickly cured by De Witt's

Frank Dorser was picked up on the
street Sunday afternoon as a suspicious
character by Sergeant Hayes , who thought
the man might have been connected with
an attempted robbery which occurred on
the night of January 28 In the lodging
house at 1421 Dodge street. When Dorsey
waa taken to the , station , H. F. Kelsey , the
proprietor of the lodging house , was sum
moned to Identify him. This he did posi
tively and without a moment's hesitation ,
so that Doreey will have to answer to a
much more eerlous charge than that of
being a suspicious character.
About 11 o'clock in the evening Dorsey
applied for a room. Mr. Kelsey turned to

MISSION AT TIIF ) BACHED IIUAIIT.
"Work Is Taken Up by Rev * . Bonrmnn
and Mngerney.
The mission to be carried on at the
Church of tb Sacred Heart during the com
ing j two weeks by Rev. Marshall I. Boarman
and Rev. Eugene A. Magovney , members
of the Society of Jeauswas commenced
Sunday. Solemn mass was celebrated at
10:30 : a. m. . with Very R v. A. M. Colanerl.
vicar general , aa celebrant and Rev. John
Jeonttte and B. A. Magovney aa deacon and
sub-deacon , respectively. During tha serv
ices Father Boarman opened the course of
lectures to be given by the missionaries.
The speaker reminded the congregation of
the Importance and necessity of the mis
Blon and then proceeded to the sermon
proper. He spoke from the text , "la It
My will that the sinner shall die. " salth tbo
Lord , "or is it Mr will that he shall be
converted and live ? " and dwelt chiefly upon
the mercy of the Lord. His remarks were
clear and strong , at times rising to the
eloquent , and were aptly Illustrated through
out by examples from sacred hlstorr. A
numerous congregation was in attendance
and the Impression created from Father
Boarman'a words gives promise of a very
successful mission.
The exercises will consist dally of mass
and a short Instruction at 5:30 : a. m. . fol
lowed at 8:30 : by another mass and a more
lengthy sermon for the more leisurely In
clined. One of the missionaries will give
a lecture every evening upon some subject
appropriate to the occasion.
Owing to the fact that the church ( s
rather small and a large attendance Is ex
pected , the services at 7:30 : p. m. for the
first week are Intended for women exclu-
elvely ; while thosft at the same hour In
the evenings of the second week are for
men. The other dally services of both weeka
are for all.

rcedom by the following means :
To propagate a clearer and more accurate
nderstaudlng among the American people
f the political , Industrial and eocl.il conifl-
ons of Irt'land , that th y may see for them-
ehes that her poverty Is the result of cen-
urlen of brute force and destructive It'glslu-
on ; and that , If permitted < to make .her
\\n laws on her own soil she will demon-
tratu the fact that she possesses all the cs
entlals , natural oud Ideal , for political nu-
enemy , beneficial alike to Ireland and the
Jnlted States.
To prpmote the dc\lopment of Irish mnnu
icturca by encouraging their Import Into
ic United States.
To promote the study of Irish history , past
nd present nnd to circulate carefully pro-
ami literature In schools and societies
lat her Just cauuo may be thoroughly do
( tided against Ignorance , malice and inls-
epresentutlon.
To encourage the study of the Irlnh lan-
ungo , the cultivation of Irian music and an
nllghtoned lo\o of art , characteristics
hlch made the past of our rate bright amid
arkuess and have always secured for the
clt success and renown In every countrv
'hero ho has had on equal opportunity with
le follows.
To hurt the enemy where ho will feel It
10 most , by refusing to purchase any article
f English manufacture nnd by using all
'gltlmate ' Influences to discourage tradesmen
rom keeping English manufactures on sale
To abolish sectional feeling and to de-
troy those baleful animosities of province
and ciced which have been insidiously en-
ouruged by the enemy.
To wejive a closer bond of racial pride
nd alfectlon and to keep nllvo the holy
amo of Irish nationality , uhlle performing
atthfully the duties of American cltlzcn-

HIGH OLD TIME IN MEXICO
idnnr Pleroe Writes Home , DctRllliiK
Invent * of it Crnliic oa the
I'ni'lfla.
John H. Pierce of this city has received
'letter ' from his son Kdgir , who Is on board
ie cruiser Philadelphia. Tbo letter is in
wo parts , the first being dated at Corlnto ,
Mlcaragua , and the aecond at Punta
rends. At the time of writing the young
man said he did not believe the cruiser
would go to Samoa , but alnco then he has
oubtless learned differently , for the cruiser
s now under orders to sail.
He mentions having visited Acapulco ,
which he saji is ouo of the oldest towns
n Mexico , and an Important port. He
Islted the city while on shore leave , with
ome of his companions , and says the blue
ackots could have anything In sight there ,
or they are considered "the thing" among
he Mexicans in that part of the country.
The band from the ship gave an open air
oncert In the plaza of the town , and he
ays the crowd which gathered reminded
ilm of a scene on the Midway plalsauco at
the World's fair. The universal gambling
plrlt among the people also made an Im-
iresslon upon the young man and he nays
10 saw a number of women with babies In
heir arms and smoking a black cigar alter
or hours before a gambling table wager-
ng their small possessions.
The ship did not go Into the harbor at
Corlnto } but { dropped anchor about flvo
miles at sea , while only the officers went
ashore , the admiral going to the capital ,
where he remained a few days. The men
on tblpboard spent tbelr time feeding and
Ishtng for sharks , which abound there.
The fish would swallow all kinds of cans and
Inware thrown them , but while several of
teem were caught on books , none were
andcd , because the ship had not tackle to
pull so large a fish from tne water.
At Punta Arenas the ship received the
governor and the admiral of the Costa Rica
navy on board. The admiral received a
salute of seventeen tuns , which Mr. Pierce
thinks was considerable of an honor for the
commandant of a navy consisting of an old
condemned English whaler manned by a few
half breed sailor *
