ANOTHER BIG LANCET RAlO.
Vaccinators Visiting Stores, Fac
tories and Lodging-Houses.
Increase and Scattering OF SMALL
Pox Cases Necessitate II.

DR.. Doty, Chief OF the Bureau Of Con-
tagious Diseases. is somewhat alarmed
over the numerous and remotely scat
tered cases OF smallpox that have oc-
CURED In the city during the last ten
days lie has consequently determined.
for the mex; thirty days, to make the in
spectIon and wholesale vaccination Of all
the big factories, stores, lodginS-houses
and public Institutions throughout the
city as hastily as possible.
The work was begun last night when
twenty-four Bowery lodging-houses
were visite by corpse Of INSPECTORS
occupants found in them vnccinated.
Fully three times that number were IN
spected and found to have been recently
Naccnated.
During tn, afternoon Il. H., Macy &c
Co.'S big dry-goods store. at Sixth ave,
nue. and Fourteenth street. was visited
by Dr. Doty in person and nber ne't of ,aofsn zen
employees, principally young women
clerks and cashgIrls, were vacclnated.
To-day other big establishments fur,
thcr up OH the avenue will be Inspected
and the lancet and virus Will be applied
to all who have not recently peen
treated
in the east-side factories. The EN-.
ployecs seem to have an unwarranted
horror of the lancet. and when the com.
ing of the physicians Is anticipated
many of them turn up missing. 1t is
from this class that the most danger Is
to be feared
Dr, Doty will, however, endeayor TO
obtain a list of the employees and their
addresses. and check off the names OF
the person absenting themselves from
the factories when the PLACES are Wis,
at their homes in the night-tlme and
persuaded to submit to vaccination.
Should they refuse, 1t is likely that they
may find some difficulty in c9nvincing
their employers that they should be
permitted to return to work.

cations on the east side. and as their

that scores of the children who patron

under observation for the usual period.
