BETTER GET VACCINATED.
The Smallpox Has Not All Disap-
peared Yet.

The statement conc rning the smallpox
situation in yesterdays Morning News
should have appeared in Sundays paper,
in which case it would have tailed strict
ly with the facts. AS it was, Health Of
ficer Drummer had the luck, good or bad,
to find three new cases Sunday, and an
other one yesterday morning. Two of the
four new patients, are white.
DR. Drummer is not shedding any tears
on this account. however, as he believes
that the only way in which safety can be
assured is for every man, woman and
child to be successfully vaccinated, and
he Understands very well that this will
not be done if the impression gains
ground that the disease is disappearing.
About 10000 people have been vaccinated
since the campaign begun and the prob
ability is that there are fully half as
many more who have not yet undergone
this experience.
Dr. T. B. Chisholm reported yesterday
that he had investigated reported case
of smallpox in the county, and found it
to be only chicken box. The investigation
was made by request of Chairman Dale
of the County Commissioners, whose at
tenticn was called to the matter by Act
ing Mayor Tiedeman at the instance of
DR. Drummer. DIR. Chisholm is employed
by the county to attend the prisoners at
the jail and the county conVicts, but his
duties do not extend to the county popu-
lation generally Health officer Brunner's
jurisdiction does not extend to the coun-
ty so that there is really no one to look
after sanitary matters and contagious dis
eases in the large section outside of the
city. During the smallpox epidemic in
1891 DR. Drummer took charge of eight
cases of smallpox for the county, and
charged them 800 a case The County
Commissioners thought this charge too
high. so they made an agreement with
DR. Drummer to lock after all the small
box in the county for the balance Of the
year for 81, 200 There were just three more
cases that year.
There are now seven cases of smallpox
at the pest house, three having been
there for some time. The new cases dis
covered Sunday were the first in two
weeks.

pose of considering the report of the com

and ease of department, as made inter
course with him a pleasure, and left with
all with whom his duties called him into
contact a feeling of respect and conf
dence.
Animated with all the finer feelings of
kind-hearted gentleman, he found that
even the severe duties of his office could
be discharged in a spirit of mercy SO as
to lessen, as much as possible, the suffer-
ings caused by the sometimes harsh but
just mandates of the law. In all things
he strove 90 be moderate and conducted
his relations TO all men so as to merit
their esteem and good wishes He was a
good man and a good sheriff. With a COM
bination of mind and heart we'll suited to
his position in life, he was a true and

to that purpose by a suitable inscription

resolution with the order of the court

Ward and VOkes Kept IA Large Audi
enCe Merry.

Ward and Vokes' musical extravaganza,
1.-THE Floor Walkers. was presented az
the Theater last night 10 large and de-
lighted audience. 1t was one of the most
Iaughable and amusing entertainments
which have been seen this season.
There is absolutely nothing in the piece
in the way of plot or story. 1t simply
serves as a vehicle for introducing songs,
dances. jokes and stage business, most OF
which was entirely new and original, and
that portion which was not new was done
in such a clever manner that il went well
The setting of the piece and the costum-
ing was handsome and added much to the
effect of the performance. The first act
showed scene representing charity ba-
zaf, under the auspices of Mrs Wal
dorf Castoria, arranged for the purpose of
assisting destitute millionaires.' 1t show
ed a great expanse of stage and was very
pretty. The second act was also hand
some, showing a stairway in the Million
aires club
There were a number of bright lights in
the company. Lucy Daily captivated the
audience with her singing and dancing
She is tiny little woman, but is one of
the most vivacious and graceful little SOU
brettes on the stage. Her song You're
the Only one" and the Honolulu Queen
were both fine

funny work, and kept the audience con-
vulsed with their jokes. They were ably.
assisted by George Sidney, a quaint He
brew character, who was very good, in

mir. John w Early sang "At the Bot
tom of the Sea" and THE Blue and the
Gray" with chorus effect and had to re-
spoud to several encores, so good were
these numbers one Of the sweetest and
prettiest bits in the programme was Mr.
Vests song with Margaret DAILY Vokes,
I'm Waiting, Honey" The programme
ended with a travesty on real acting by
Ward and Nokes Sidney and Lucy and
Margaret DAILY.
The whole show was cleverfy and finely
done, and the performance was one Of
the best of its kind ever seen here. II

attested the fact that the manager is pop
ular.
