~ come out into long passage with little
rooms opening on either side IN each Of

sunk into the floor, a couch, comfortable
appointments and a Spanish attendant.
The water is quite hot, about 70 degrees,
and it was such a luxury-that bath. 1t
actually paid to be so dusty and travel
stained to know the joy of being clean
again. That night we rested beautifully
In such fresh, clean beds and the next
morning drove to tho vaccine sutton.
This is off our fine road, and we did not
have to be Informed of the fact after Il
rod or So but it suggested to US employ
ment for the many idle natives who are
begging for work and are gettiHg IT and
are paid IN good American money as fast
as it can be procured for them At the
vaccine station we found dozen tents, in
charge of half a dozen young doctors ana
their assistants and la the fields around
were about four hundred head of cattle
VacCinatcd and to be Vaccinatcd. Every
| thing was as clean as possible, and 1t all
was done i'm such thorough. systematic
way. We saw the whole process. In tie
! first place each animal is tested for tuber-
! culoSs and glandcrs. If they are found
/ free from these little difficulties the vac
CinatioI proceeds mcrrilv. Each animal
/ is thrown upon a table, its legs and head
arc tied down, then Il large space on its
/ belly is carefully c.canscd and shorn and
I each is VaCCinatHd 40 TO % times. They
are then let out to pasture ana the Gfth
day are examined 'The vaccination al
most Invariably takes, ana then the poor
creatures are strapped down again and
the scabs removed which, they told US, j.
/ the only part of the process that gives
pain to the creature. Under these scabs
/ is found the virus into which are dipped
the little oblong pieces of ivory with Sharu
points which are used here exclusively for
vaccination Between 200 and 300 points
are taken from each animal. Every buade
of thes" little points is carefully numbered
and wrapped IN cotton; and they are thcs
sent to doctors all over the island. Port
Rico is certainly an unusually good piao {
to test the efficacy OF vaccination, for II
is isolated. all the process is under mill
tarN order and every port is quarantine
so its Nrtu" can be well shown here.

FROM ESSEN.
A Stray Item OF News Picked up by
Our Rtp Preventative.

When newspapers had only the stage
coach and sailing vessels to depend upon
to gather foreign news, when the tclc-
graph, the telephone. the steam engine,
steamboat and electric motor were not in
existence, coffee houses and inns were
regularly thronged by loungers, and the
public generally, who exchanged scraps of
Information brought to them by the post
and who listened to the news read aloud
to them by some habitue. The item which
follows was picked up by our representa-
tive while strolling around Essex, and al
though the reader Is not indebted to cleo
triCity or steam power for the informa ton
II contains. IT is Just as interesting and
decidedly more reliable Read this:

Boston last Nov3m Der, .eaving 81 600, 600
TO education. Mr.. Aut,in Visited Charles
ton soon after the first locomotive was
used on the new railroad line, then partly
built between that city and Augusta, Ga.
This, when completed, was the longest
railway in the world. A friend took him
to the station to see the train arrive.
While standing near some other gentle
men Mr.. Austin heard one of them say,
IN bet you, and, thinking the remark
was addressed to himself, he answered, II
beg pardon, but | don't bet" The first
speaker then replied that he was address
ing another person.
AS the train came in the putting and
blowing of the odd looking locomotive
caused Mr.. Austin to laugh, whercupon
the gentleman who had offered tho bet
which hi.S been taken by another, ex-
claimed; There, l knew he would laugh !;
pay your bet. AT that time it WAS GUS
tomary TO make wagcrs that visitor who
had never seen a locomotive would laugh
at the sight of this one rs it came into the
station.
This must have been the identical en-
CINE called the Best Friend, which the
Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., in his
work on Railroads" speaks of as "a
queer looking machine, constructed at tho
West Point Foundry works in New York
during the summer of 1890" The usual
rate of speed was from II to Is miles nh

running little faster, one OF the passen-

WHY SWEETL4ND WAS REJECTED.

CoRNELL's ATHLETIC COUNCIL SENDS An Elk
PLANTATION TO THE FOOTBALL TEAM
Ithaca. y. Y. Feb. l9.-At "A meeting of the Cor
nell football team held on Saturday the following
reasons were communicated to the team by the
Athletic Council IN explanation OF the causes which
induced the Council to refuse 10 rafy the election
OF Swcetand to the captaincy:
Specific reasons for the action are twofold:
Flrst-In view Of factions created here this fall
In matters Of coaching and captaning tho team, II
thought best that the leaders OF these factions
should retire. Mr.. Warner and Mr. Fennell with
drew as candidates for coach. Mr.. Reed withdrew
captain. The retirement of Mr. Swectland
leaves tho field open for the selection OF captain
and a coach who have had no leading parts I'm
the unfortunate rivalries or last season. and can
unite In The interests Of the coming season.
SccOId-Iarge numbers OF football alumni in
Guiding many OF those who have assisted I'm coach
Ing In the past and whose assistance Is neces-
sary in the future have protested In the strongest
terms against the ratification OF Mr.. Sweetland's
election Tho Council not In u position to
judge whether this opposition Is just. II only
knows that II exists, and that harmony between
the football graduates and the football manage
mont would be imperied II Mr.. Sweetlaud were
captain.
The communication further states that the
CHARGES OF professionalism brought against Sweet
land too vague to have teen either upheld or
denied by the Council. Thus Swoetlands right to
participate In amateur sports is unmpnlrcd.
