AN epidemic of diphtheria in 1884
followed the arrival of n flock of
turkeys in Skiatos, one of the Gree
ian isles where no case of the disease
had previously been known for
thirty years. Some of the turkeys
were sick, and it is believed that the
diphtheritic germs were conveyed
from them through the air to the
first human victim.

Municipal Election in Boston.
Rain, rain, rain Howl it poured
Tuesday, December 11th viii the
q 900 women who have registered
go to the polls? Shall we elect the
school committee ticket nominated
by the committee of one hundred,
indorsed by the w. G. 7. U. and the
"Loyal Women of American Liber-
typ" These were the thoughts of
the best citizens of Boston on the
morning of election day but the
women of the Club" are used to
rain waterproofs of all hues and
descriptions were donned, and, to
the amazement of the ward politi-
clans, 1900 women appeared at the
voting places in the various pre-
cincts, the majority OH foot. They
added life and piquancy to the usual
monotonous proceedings.
In every precinct there was a band
of women workers. The Boston
w. G. r. U. has been drilled and
disciplined for six years in work of
this kind, but their numbers were
reinforced by the Loyal Women"
whose efforts were exclusively for
the second ticket, while the w. 9.
r. U. worked for no-license as well,
having made earnest appeals months
ago to the women of Boston to quail.
! fy themselves to vote on the school
question. Mrs. A. J. Gordon, presi-
dent of the Boston union, gave the
women printed directions in regard
to their work at the polls, and at
each precinct one of the workers had
list of the women voters which
she checked, so that it was impossi-
bic for any one to vote twice, and
carriages were sent for delinquents.
The committee of one hundred
organized months ago for the special
defense of the public schools, looked
sharply after the men in the same
manner. The women were at the
polls early in the morning, many
appearing with husbands or broth
ers. The newspaper men noted this
and commented as follows: "In
many precincts almost the entire
number of registered women had
cast their ballots before noon. This
shows that the average woman is
disposed to apply sound housekeep-
ing principles to the business of
voting, and do her work as a citizen
bright and early, so as to have it all
out of the way before dinner. They
handled their ballots like veteran
voters"
The following is from the Boston
Traveller: "There is nothing but
praise for the pluck and bearing of
the voting women of Boston, yes
terday. The universal respect
shown to them in every precinct
speaks welllfOr Boston, and the in
fluence of the presence of ladies at
the polls may now be regarded as
beneficial to order and decorum."
Rev. Edward Hale said he rejoic-
ed the people were at last awake to
the Importance of the school move
ment, and thought that all religions
should have an equal representation
in the School Board, and that the
present ticket was the best elected
for four years. Hon. Thomas Bick-
nell said 1--WE have learned the
power of women to save the state,
and all honorto the ladies who saved
the schools of Boston," Three
cheers were given for the w. c. II.
u. and also for the loyal
women. X
