uILL BE FREE
VACCINATION !
The Board Of Health so Decided Last
Night.
RELIEF FOR POOR CHILDREN
The Board Has Appointed Drs. Robbins,
spalding, Callen, Stein and Hamilton
to vaccinate the Children of
People Too Poor to Pay.

The Board of Health held a special meet
ing last night to consider the vaccination
problem and after some discussion succeeded
in getting at what appears to be the nearest
solution possible under the circumstances.
President Spalding presided at the meet
ing and reiterated the sentiments he ev-
pressed at a previous meeting, namely that
in view Of the cold weather prevailing
and the fact thar no smallpox exists
in, or in the vicinity of the town,
he was disposed to be lenient in
the enforcement Of the vaccination laws at
present. Mr.. Malone c%0ncurred in the same
views, but Mr.. Holman assumed a contrary
position and stated that from what he had
learned at the state sanitary convention at
Harrisburg last week he could not favor any
other course than a strict enforcement of the
laws, Mr.. MORRISON conceded with Mr.. Hol-
man and there was danger of a deadlock. as
the fifth member of the board, Mr.. McHale.
was absent.
The question of v|accinating children of
the poor drifted into discussion and it led to
a statement by President Spalding to the
effect that he would modify his position and
cooperate in the rigid enforcement of the
vaccination laws, provided provision would
be made whereby the children of parents too
poor to pay the required fees could be treated
at public expense.
The suggestion met with favor and resulted
in a motion being made and adopted to the
effect chat one vaccine physician be ap-
pointed in each ward that they be paid fifty
cents for each vaccination and two re-
vaccinations be made if necessary, the
borough to sustain the expenses in cases
where parents are too poor to pay the
required fee.
The reports in hand show that there are
233 who are out of the schools on account of
not being Yaccinated and the parents of 81 of
them are too poor to pay the fees,
The resolution adopted by the Board does
not compel children whose parents are
able to pay the fees to go to any particular
physician.
The following physicians have been APP
pointed under the motion adopted First
ward, DIR. Clifton Robbins; Second ward, DR..
S. G. S palding Third ward, DR.. J.. S. Callen;
Fourth ward, DR.. w. N. Stein Fifth ward,
DR.. G. NJ. Hamilton.

A Popular Company.

The appearance of the Shenandoah ia
y%Orites, THE Ideals" under the manage
ment of John A. Himmelein, at Ferguson's
theatre last evening, were greeted with a
packed house, and standing room was at a
premium. This company made such a fa-
Vorable impression during their appearance
here last season that we predict, taking last
nights attendance as a criterion, their
weeks engagement will be a most pleasant
and profitable one. Miss Beatrice Earle,
NJ. b. Streeter and Baby johnson, three fa-
vorites Of local theatre-goers, are with
the company this season, and their appear
ance was tho signal Of applause. Last
nights bill was the comedy drama, Grit, or
True as Steel Mr., Streeter and Miss
Earle, in tie leading roles, made an instan-
taneous hit, and they were supported by a
strong company throughout, Baby johnson
captivated the audience by her singing and
dancing, while Earl Burgess, another local
f%avorite, assumed the character of Col.
Worry in admirable style. The specialities
were good, and the Brooklyn bridge scene
caught the audience. Charles Leyburne, a
Pottsyille boy, as ''rwopenny," deserves
special mention. The music furnished Coy
Howsop's goth Century Band and orchestra
was a pleasing feature, and the audience
showed its appreciation by hearty applause.
The company will present tonight the great
scenic production, THE Midnight Flood"

When the alarm of fire was sounded last
night some thoughtless person in the rear of
the theatre, during the performance, cried
fire p and Immediately the entire audience
were on their feet making a break for the
doors and the stage. 1t was only by the
presence Of mind of the. cornetist, who
mounted the stage and gave a bugle call, that
prevented stampede and the loss of life.
The play finally proceeded, but it was
noticed that one or two of the actresses were
visibly affected from the fright they received
by the alarm, as were several ladies in the
audience. In the rush for the stage mem
bers of the orchestra were rufiy used and

Fights with Fire.
Shortly before ten o'clock last night the
fire department was called to the residence
of c. q |. Policeman Daniel Bedea, on North
Jardin street, but the services were not re-
CURED. The alarm was occasioned by bed
room curtains and drapery catching fire
while Mr.. Bedea's mother-in-law, Mrs. Craw-
shaw, was lighting a lamp. The latter is
very old and quite feeble and when the blaze
started she became bewildered. It was with
difficulty that her daughter induced her to
leave the bedroom. Mr.. Bedea rushed from
the lower part Of the house and attacked the
burning drapery single handed with such
good effect that he put the fire out before the
arrived. His hands were burned in
the work, but not seriously, however. The
draperies and curtains we're destroyed, but
the frames Of the windows were only
scorched.
