The way train ahead of us had struck
an open switch and been ditched, and
two passengers were killed outright and
five or six others were more or less in
jured. Ihe killed ana injured were lying
on the depot platform rs our train came
up, and among the latter was a profes-
siopal tramp who had been stealing a
ride. After the doctor had looked him
over. the vagabond, who had not 10 t

and asked:
"wail, Tsrd, what's the verdict OF the

"Yes."

VACCINATION CENTENARY. ,

This is the year OF the one hundredth
anniversary of the "discovery" of vacci-
nation. In fact, this is the very month,
the 18th the very day, that JENNER vacci-
mated boy with lymph from the hand
OF dairymaid and on July he inocu-
lated that same boy with small pox. II
was great time for JENNER, one han
dred years ago these days. Honors came
TO him and parliament made him grant
OF ETC, 900, and he was looked upon as
having by bis discovery saved the void
from being scrsped bare OF humanity bv
the dreadful small pox. One hundred
years ago, however, there was no germ
theory, and people did not know that
cleanliness meant health and that filth
r,esnt disease.
1t is significant that the world does not
unite in universal celebration of the
centennial anniversary of JENNERIsM.
We hear OF no contemplated observances
except from a little Pennsylvania town
where a man that runs vaccine farmp
and sells virus and, thanks to compulsory
vaccination laws, finds a steady market
all the year round, aud profits largely
no doubt by the vaccination delusion, is
going to invite a goodly company to OBJ
serve the centennial with him. 1t is to
be hoped that he will be liberal OF his
hospitality ana pass around tho cigars.
lie certainly can afford to. We would be
glad to receive any information OF other
cele brations. We have understood that
one was projected in Boston, but have
heard nothing from 1t lately.
Undoubtedly a good many vaccinists
who have looked into the subject for
themselves sufficiently to doubt IL not yet
to condemn, realize that the crowning
absurdity to century OF mistake and
folly in this matter would be the celebra-
tion of a JENNER centennial We have no
doubt that the medical profession is to-
day much in doubt on the vaccination
matter, and that there is sense OF
humor smong our medical brethren that
makes them shudder at the contempla-
| tion OF endorsing the celebration of some
thing that in all probability, long before
another century runs, will be universally
discredited.
As matter of fact, quite apart from
all other factors entering into the mat
| ter, vaccination today is no more the
vaccination "discovered" by JENNER than
| does the BELL telephone bear relation TO
the little string toy that seemed to an
ticirate IL. JENNER's discovery was a
fancy and lie. Modern vaccination is
the development OF guess work attempts
| TO produce certain result without hav-
ing any knowledge of what would bring
the result about. The interest in these
experiments and the final success in Sc
curing the result for a long time quite
blinded the experimenters to the ques-
tion of whether the result was worth
achieving or not.
There is abundant evidence to demon
strato that it was not.

THE DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES.
How Representatives From the Dis
triet Will BE Selected.


triet Will BE Selected.
The method Of electing the six delegates
hereafter to be chosen according to res
olution of the national committee to rep
resent the District in democratic national
conventions is naturally matter of inter-
ested speculation. Mr.. James L. Norris
said today that in all probability two would
be chosen from the eastern part OF Wash
ington, two from Georgetown and two from
the main part of the city. Mr.. Norris did
not anticipate any friction from the in
crease of the number, but, on the con-
trary, 1t seemed to him that there would
be happy division of honors in the new
arrangement. i.'F
In speaking of the action of the national
con mittee to Increase the District repre-
sentaticn at the convention, Mr.. Lawrence
Gardner said today that he thought 1t
would be a good thing for the District to
have six votes in the national convention.
1t would give the District greater influence
to have six votes than to have two, and If
the territories were to be accorded such
representation, because of their popula-
ton, certainly the District was entitled to
at least equal consideration.
AS to the local changes which the pro-
posed increase would make he said, that
would remain, to be seen. He had not
given the matter any consideration, and he
did not know change was to be made
until the action of the committee had been
announced. i

FRANK LAWLER DEAD.
The Well-KnOwn Politician a Victim
- to Heart Failure.

- to Heart Failure.
CHICAGO, January 17.-Frank Lawler,
ex-Congressman and present alderman from
the nineteenth ward, died at his home this
afternoon, of heart failure.
Frank Lawler was for some years one of
the most familiar figures in Congress, and
was well known to many Washingtonians,
who will remember bis quaint Irish wit and
peculiar geniality He was born at Roch-
ester, N. Y, in June, 1912, and attended
the public school there until he was thir-
teen years OF age, when serious acct
dent befell his father, and the lad was COM
PEELED to leave school and seek employment
in a brick yard, where he remained two
years. He then obtained position as news
agent on a railroad, and continued at that
for three years.
He learned the trade of shipbuilder, was
elected president of the Ship Carpenters
came an active organizer of trade and la
Dor unions. He was made agent for the
Workinmen's Advocate, a paper published
in the interests Of trades unionism, and up
On the request of the trade organZa tions he
was in 1869 appointed to a position in the
Chicago post Office, which he held for
eight years. In 1876, while still thus en-
p!oyed, he was elected member of the
Chicago city council and was reelected in
1878, 1880, 1882 and 1881.
He was elected to the Forty-ninth Con-
gress as a democrat and was reelected to
the F1ftieth and Fifty-frst and was de-
feated for the Fifty-second. He was an
applicant for the position of postmaster
Of Chicago and came to Washington short
ly after the change in the administration
with what has since become known as the
largest petition ever presented to the Pres
ident in behalf of candidate for public
office. The appointment, however, went to
Washington Hesing.

Chicago Hotel Keepers and the Con-
vention.
DISSATISFIED With fHE PLEDGES
ex-Mayor Hopkins Doesn't Like
the Date.
EFFECT ON W. R. MORRISON

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 16.-Chicago no.
tel keepers do not seem to like the agree
ment made by the citizens committee at
Washington yesterday to the effect that no
Chicago hotel win book any delegation for
the national democratic convention within
thirty days. or before the national COM
mittee engages its quarters, and do not
corsider ii binding on them.
News of the selection of Chicago as the
place to hold the national democratic con-
Vention was received locally with no mani
festations of excitement. The feeling from
the start has been that if Chicago was to
be chosen as the democratic convention
city 1T would be for the sole reason that
Chicago was best qualified to take care OF
IL in the minds of the national committee
Hotel pToprietors and managers and some
of the trades exhibited a certain degree
Of interest in the matter, but that was ALL
The convention will doubtless be held at
tie Coliseum, but that is a matter to be
settled by the national democratic commit
tee.
Ex-Mayor Hopkins, in speaking of the
lateness of the date of the convention,
said:
Il regret that the national committee
decided to hold the convention so late as
July 9. The democratic party Is In control
of the national administration and it has
always been the rule for the party in power
to hold its convention first. 1t looks like
cowardice on the part of the democrats for
them to hold their convention this year
after the republicans"
Controller Eckels did not think the place
of holding the convention would have any
anything to dc, one way or the other, with
the convent ms nominee, whether it was
an eastern or western man. When asked
what effect he thought it would have on
ClevelaniS alleged third term candidacy,
he said
II do not wish to talk on that, for do
not think there's anything at all in it.
don't believe he is a candidate for re-elec-
ton"
What effect do you think it will have on
bringing out western MANI?
None at ALL any more than If the con-
vention We're held in New York any
other eastern city,
do you think it will help the candidacy
OF Governor Matthews of Indiana"
Not at ALL
The Post today says: Prominent local
democratic politicians, representing both
the silver and anti-silver wings of the
party. unhesitatingly declare that the To-
cation of the democratic convention at
Chicago has vastly improved the chances
of Colonel VIM. r. Morrison as a presi-
Dental possibility and makes him at once
the mostp rominent among candidates. AL
ready plans are being laid In Cook county
to select delegation favorable to him.
and unless a radical change in the local
sentiment occurs Morrison will have the
Illinois delegation instructed for him or
not, just as he chooses.
