VACCINE POINTS.

Men Were Frantic to Get Them and
Children Cried for Them.
During the recent smallpox scare one
apothecary In this city sold 1900 vaccine
points within twenty-four hours. On a
Friday.when the general fright was greatest.
the supply gave out Physicians telegraph
ed in every direction for points In the
drug store referred to a big crowd was
waiting. A small quantity arrived, and
the people scrambled for them. The scene
was a most extraordinary one. Holding
their money in their hands over their
heads, men, women and children struggled
like anxious betters at a race track. One
would have supposed that their lives de-
pended on procuring the points, Of which
there were not nearly enough to go round.
Here's my money! yelled one man.
You promised me four points yesterday
cried a woman.
It'll pay you a dollar apiece for six
points!' shouted another man, evidently
the anxious father Of a family.
In enc day Of the scare the apothecary
said that he had made more money than
he had ever made in two days out of his
business Somebody came to him and Of
fered to buy out his entire stock of points
at the figure he charged for them retail
The druggist refused. because there was
reason to believe that an attempt was be-
ing Tede to corner the supply.

The First Republican Elected.
Salt river takes on an additional interest
just now by reason Of the political revolu-
ton effected in Kentucky. The Louisville
district through which the stream runs, has
elected for the first time a republican to
Congress. Mr.. Walter Evans is the man,
and his past experience in politics has made
him altogether familiar. with the Salt river
trip. He has been his partys leader in the
state for years; has run for governor and
for Congress, and is now for the first time
successful Precisely how he feels about
the Salt river outing is not of record; but
the subject when he takes his seat in the
next House. The subject Is at least worthy
of his attention. JAMES w. ALLISON.

Sweaters for Women.

Sweaters have been adopted by women
with athletic proclivities. though they were
originated solely for the men. The idea
was suggested. SO the story goes. to the
stroke oar Of one OF the big college boating
clubs by man, after which they soon be-
came the fashion. The sweater Is de-
scribed as garment similar to the jersey,
though the resemblance is certainly not
very strong. If athletic girls find the
sweater comfortable and appropriate while
engaged In certain kinds OF exercise, they
will perhaps make 4. popular as the jer-
sey was few years ago. but 1t does seem
ridiculous to add any feminine touches to
this Misunderstanding garment. A white
wool sweater, girdled with a black silk
sash, Is spoken of as the favorite autumnal
bicycle suit, though why a sash 1t would
be hard to say. Girls belonging to cycle
clubs are said to favor leather belt, fast
ened with silver buckle, wrought with the
monogram Of the club.
