PRECAUTIONARY STEPS.
State Board Will Check the WateryiIIe
Smallpox.
Secretary Young at a Loss to Account for Its
Origin.

Secretary Young of the State board
of health, visited Watervilie, Thurs
day. To investigate the cases of the So
called chicken pox and scarlet fever
that We're reported by DIR. Smith Of the
board. as being smallpox. Dr. Young
coneurred with DR.. Smith in his opin-
ion of the real nature of the disease.
He says 1t is a light form of the dis
ease in almost every case though
there are one or two very bad cases.
A Journal reporter called at the ofie !.
of the board at the State House Fri
day. and had a little talk with Dr.
Young upon the matter and what was
being done.
II has not been stated heretofore in
what section of the city nor in wha,
class Of people the disease is working
DR.. Young says il is at present wholly
in the French settlements on each side
of the river. a part of the cases being
in Waterville. and some bad ones in
WINSTON
What do you think is the origin OF
the dis ase in Waterville"" asked the
reporter.
That is very hard to decide" an
swered the doctor. Il took many
notes. yesterday. and made many in
quires. but | am able to decide fully
just how the infection started. These
cases are evidently tbs second crop of
cases. That is, the first cases must have
occurred sometime in December. and
have been gradually growing since. as
no precautions have been taken, the
doctors not thinking the disease was
anythin. worse than the chicken po:.
At first | thought il had been brought
camps of northern Maine but that
was proven to be unfounded as he was
at home several weeks before he was
taken i'll.
Yen know" continued The doctor.
that the disease. in a mild form. has
been working in the Southern STAGES.
this summer. and it has worked into
the Middle and Western states There
is slight contagion in NASSAU huSet:s
ard still more in Ontario Three
points in ontario especially. have
many cases. | at first thought perhaps
some of the French people had visited
there. but so far as ! could learn none
of those who have been i'll have visited.
there. 1t is possible some person from
Ontario may have brought the germs.
and then again a letter might make
one person i'll If it contained the germs.
and this might cause other cases.
Was there ever before in Maine. a
case of this kind whore the disease was
mistaken"
Yes, one such incident occurred
only few years after this board was
established. in Cumberland Mills. Only
until one or two deaths occurred did
the authorities realize the nature of

DR.. Young explained here that the

TOMMY BRITTON, $4,000
STALLION WITH REMARKABLE REC.
ORD SELLS FOR A GOOD PRICE.
The Worlds Champion for Three
Races Out Of Thirty-TwO Starts.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The attendance
was largest on the fourth day Of the Fasig-
Upton horse sale in Madison-square Gar
den to-day. The great feature was the sale
of the stallion Tommy Britton, by Liberty
Bell, out of Keepsake. He was sold to E.
A. Lord, of Chicago, for $40, 900. When this
was announced the garden resounded with
applause. Tommy BrittoAwas foaled in 1893.
He was bred by Thos. Britton, of Chenille,
KY, and is the winner of nineteen heats in
better than 2:1O. He is the worlds champion
stallion for three heats-2:OSA, 2:0S& and
2:0SN. He is the winner of twenty-five
races, three times second, twice third, twice
fourth, out of thirty-two starts in races.
His former owner said of him.: THE
worlds champion stallion for three heats is
a record that shows the possession of speed,
sense, pluck. endurance and soundness, but
it is not Tommy Britton's only honor. He
two-year-old (when he took the worlds
race record at that age); a sensational four
year-old, a sensational fve-year-old and a
sensational six-year-old-a record that no
other horse has ever eQualed."
