THE VACCINATION RULES.
Oral Argument in Supreme Court in a
Test Case.

Vaccination will be the subject discussed
in an oral argument to be held before the
Supreme Court to-day. The case involves
the right of the State Board of Health to
compel the vaccination of school children
About five years ago Frank d. Blue. of
Terre Haute, began a mandamus suit in the
Circuit Court of VigO county to compel
Fanny M. Beach, a teacher, and Orville e.
Conner, q school principal to allow his
boy, Kleo Blue, to attend school without
being vaccinated. 1t was at a time when
smallpox scare existed throughout the
State on account of the breaking out of
the disease in Muncie, and the State Board
of Health. the county boards of health and
the school authorities We're compelling the
vaccination of all pupils in the schools. Mr.
Blue did not believe in vaccination and
would not hermit his how To he (nncrlatad
The school teacher as a result refused to
permit the boy to attend school. Mr. Blue
became determined and fought the case in
the court with great vigor even going so
far as to bring English experts to testify
as to the fallacy of vaccination. The tran
script of the evidence was OF extraordinary
bulk, but has never been printed. One thing
that the trial brought into prominence was
the diversity of opinion among physicians
as to the value of vaccination as a pre-
ventive for smallpox. AS most of the doc
tors of the present day never had a small
pox case their opinion was proven to be
based only on knowledge obtained from
books The homeopathic and eclectics all
testified that vaccination was an exploded
theory. and challenged the production of
authentic cases in which it has proven it's
efficiency in preventing the disease. Statis-
tics were produced in the trial to show that
vaccinated persons had been stricken with
smallpox, and much evidence was adduced
to prove that the disease is an attendant
on squalor, dirt and poor sanitation, and
that cleanliness was the only vaccination
that proved efficacious. The lower court
however, decided against the complainant
and he appealed to the Supreme Court At
torney General Ketcham will argue the case
for the State Board of Health and Robert
b. Stinson and a. NJ Higgins, of Terre
Haute for the aupellant.

An Undesirable Occupation.

Philadelphia Times
Somebody else felt impeled last Sunday
TO exploit the latter-day occupations for
women, and in one of the big New York
newspapers she held forth at some length
upon one which was mentioned a year or
two ago-that of shopper in the great
department stores.
She didn't call it that, though. In fact
she seemed rather at a loss for u correct
name. but, considering the duties of the
position, the majority of such people as
are endowed with refinement and a fair
sense of honor would term the woman
so employed nothing more nor less than a
spy. a cruel term but a true one.
For when she enters into the service of a
nrm. 1t becomes her duty to prowl through
the other shops in the same line of business
and report to her employer the quality and
price of the bargains offered by his rivals
and also the manner in which his goods are
arranged for display and any attractive
inality.
And if on any pretext she can obtain
private view of some items of a trousSeau or
layette made TO order or of some choice
imported novelty which is not open TO in
spection OF the general public that, too,
must be described in such fun detail that
her firm may at once put an imitation on
the market at slightly lower price.
For such spying arr tale bearing one GER
tainly should be pa well, if only as a
salve to self-respect, and our sister-of-the>
pen announces the price of such service to
be from $25 a week up to $50-the latter
only in cases where the shopper is an I'M
doubted expert and of unusually swell APP
pearance, as would befit a genuine custo-
mer of wealth and social position.
Well such salaries may obtain now, but
they certainly did not when the shopper
was new institution some dozen or fifteen
years ago.
AT that time there was bitter rivalry
between two of the largest shops in the
city, and by chance we happened to fall in
with pretty, stylish little blonde who was
employed by one firm to spy upon The other.
she had to give up much of her time, do a
good deal OF running about, and exercise
no end of duplicity to serve her employer,
for which she received just $12 week, and
in the end she took service with the rival
firm, and one day when shopping on her
own private account in the establishment
of merchant number one she was arrested
and put to much humiliation and inconven-
fence on suspicion of being an emissary of
his competitor.
This sequel, which is apt to be often re-
peated IN other cases, was not mentioned lin
the aforesaid account given last week, nor,
indeed, do L think it has ever been in print,
but it seems to me it is just as we'll to in
form any asprant for a Shoppers posi-
ton of the string which may be attached to
her $25-a-Week salary.

some production that has become famous
in New York and London, the

the army advances the main portion of
the fleet lies patiently in front of Nor
70 Castle awaiting it's opportunity. Be-
fore the end of next week the fate of
Santiago and Admiral Cervera should
be decided. BY that time it is believed
the Spanish troops will have been fore
ed back upon the city and defeated in
decisive engagement. Simultaneous
ly the forts at the mouth of the harbor
should be captured under cover of
national bombardment.
Three things will be left to Cervera-
to surrender with his ships, to surren-
der after destroying his ships or to
make a dash out to sea. He may fore
stall fate by making an attempt to get
out of the harbor before the army ac-
complished it's end. The first Spanish
ship trying to pass MORO Castle would
be sunk in five minutes. The general
opinion among experts is that Santiago
town will be burned before submitting
to a surrender. There is every possi-
bility that the Spanish troops may sur
render independently of Admiral Ger
vera. If the Spanish admiral should
insist upon thus prolonging the agony
he would be subjected to fire from his
own forts and the army siege guns. If
these proved ineffective the harbor
mouth would be dragged, the mines re-
moved, Admiral SIMPSONS ships would
enter and Admiral Cervera would be
finished off.
