PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE day has been
one OF absolute quiet, with no public
excitement, not even in the Rue de
Chabrot. There was rainfall during
the afternoon and the streets were
practically deserted.
Slight disturbances occurred Satur-
day at Marseilles and Belfort, when the
verdict of the Dreyfus courtmartial
was published. The demonstrators
stoned the residence of Jacques Drey-
fus, brother of the condemned, at Bel
fort, breaking the windows and other
wise damaging the structure Many
persons We're arrested in both places.
The premier, NJ Waldeck- Rosseau,
was visited during the morning by
most of his colleagues. The date of the
next cabinet council has not yet been
fixed. President Loubet will probably
not return to Ramboulett for several
days.
So far as can be ascertained military
men are perfectly satisfied with the ver-
dict which they interpret as safeguard
ing the honor of the army and at the
same time doing an act of mercy to
Dreyfus, who, they say, has sufficiently
expiated his crime in the awful exist
ence he passed on Devils island. They
point out that even if he is sent to Fort
Corte, it will be to receive henceforth
the humane treatment he has expe-
rienced since his return to France.

The Vaccination Question.

DIR. Bracken, secretary of the state
board of health, appeared before the
board, accompanied by Health Officer
Holbrook. DR.. Bracken said that he
come in furtherance of his policy Of
getting closer to the school boards,
and solicited the members to ask any
questions in regard to vaccination or
other health matters.
Mr.. Wilson asked whether VAGINA
tion would be an annual occurrence
hereafter.
DR.. H. M. Bracken said that it ought
to be. 1t would not be much trouble, as
only unYaccinated scholars would have
to be treated. The state board Of
health's action this year was due to
the fact that smallpox is becoming
common throughout the whole coun-
try. Ohio has had 5000 cases within
a year, and there have been outbreaks
in Kentucky. Alabama, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Montana, North and South
Dakota and Nebraska. Since May 1st
there have been over seventy cases in
this state, scattered about. One vac
cination is supposed to cover school
life, although the period of protection
is uncertain, varying from four to
twenty years. Those who have any
thing to do with the disease vaccinate
themselves each time there is an out
break. 1t is generally admitted that
vaccination is protection that can
be depended upon. There is no rea-
son for any i'll effects from vaccina-
tion. Glycerinated vaccine virus is
much used, as all other germs are de-
stroyed by 1t that make sore arms.
Vaccination ought not to disturb a
child much or interfere with its duties
as pupil. Schools are the places that
pass around diseases most readily.
Diphtheria and scarlet fever are fire.
quently spread by the common use Of
books and pencils. The teachers can
prevent outbreaks by promptly re-
parting cases of sickness. Children
sick with any suspicious illness should
be excluded from school until the
opinion Of physician has been had.
Measles is the least comfortable as it
becomes quite marked before an erup-
tion breaks out. a5 SD .fa
G. FL. Congdon, representing Scott,
Forse & Co.. appeared on behalf of a
new series of singing books. The sys-

present system costs So, 15.. The
teacher Of music approves tbs new
system. The firm proposes to take
the present books from the pupils and

adjourned without action. za4 co.

The new school board held its first
meeting Saturday night, all OF the
members being present except Mr..
Parry who was out of the city. Capt.
Keysor was elected temporary chair
man
The board at once proceeded to form
a permanent organization by electing a
president, but it took thirty four bal
lots to do this, The votes were very
scattering during the first thirty bal
lots, one person seldom receiving more
than two. The first ballot stood, Web
ster, one; Fletcher, two; Coughlan, two;
Mrs. Smith, two. After few ballots,
Mrs. Smith announced that she was not
a candidate and desired the persons
voting for her to vote for someone else.
This they refused to do, and the thirty
first ballot stood Mrs Smith three, DR..
Webster three, Rev. Davis'one. On the
next ballot Mrs Smith secured four
votes and DR., Webster three. Mrs.
Smith was declared elected, but she
said that she had no desire for the of.
fee and would positively decline. AS
she could not be induced to change her
mind, another ballot was taken, result
inc as follows: Rev. Davis, three; Mr..
Fletcher, three; Mr.. Coughlan, one. On
the next or thirty-fourth ballot, Rev.
Davis received four votes and Mr..
Fletcher three.
Rev. Davis was declared elected, and
said that he would accept the office,
but preferred that some one else be
elected.
Capt Keysor created laugh by re-
marking: 1--WE tried hard to elect
some one else
Rev. Davis took his seat and thanked
the board for the honor and said that
he would endeavor to faithfully dis
charge his duties.
Mr.. Coughlan was re elected vice.
president on the fourth ballot.
Geo. II. Brewster was unanimously
reelected secretary.
