think it natural feature of phyeicsl

cause they are without this offensive
swelling. Thus form OF disease
may become so common that 1t is re-

dition Of life. 1t is so. to lsrgs ex-
tent, with what are called diseases of
women. Every woman suffers more
or less from irregularily liberation,

and so universal that many women

necessary to their sex, But it is q
condition as unnatural as IL unneces-

SMALLPOX AT BELLEVU E.
A NURSE IN THE ERYSIPELAS WAND
SENT TO NORTH BROTHER ISLAND.
SEVEN ATTENDANTS AND MANY NURSES
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OBSERVED
AT THE HOSPITAL.
AT THE HOSPITAL.

The public and the Bellevue Hospital doctors
with nearly the entire staff of the authorities
of the hospital will be surprised TO learn this
morning that there was a smallpox patient
taken from the male nurses ward last Wednes-
day. and that 100 nurses with seven attendants
were vaccinated, three doctors spending the
day al this work
The facts OF the matter were kept very secret
by the few officials and other persons who knew
them. They reluctantly admitted them last
night.
The patient is Charles Woodward. twenty
four years old, nurse in the erysipelas ward
He became sick Wednesday morning and Dr.
Ruce was sent for He examined the patient
and found him suffering from smallpox. He
ordered physicians from the Board of Health. as
is the custom, TO come up. and they found the
diagnosis correct Woodward sent to the
reception hospital and transferred to North
Brother Island. His condition has improved,
and he is getting along very well
There are one hundred and twenty nurses in
this ward, all males. They are in charge of a
female superintendent, who visits the eryspelas
ward, building, very often. Superintendent
O'Rourke ordered three doctors, two assistants
and DR.. Rice to take the proper precautions to
prevent the disease from getting any further,
and to note whether anybody else had the sick
ness.
All the nurses to the number of a hundred and
twenty, were vaccinated as quickly possible
DR.. Rice and his two aids took the whole OF
Wednesday 10 do this There were seven fe-
male attendants in the ward who were also sub
sected TO the treatment, and the female superin-
tendent also had TO submit to the process. None
were restricted in the regular performance of
hospital or other duty, however.
woodward's room was fumigated, as was all
the rest of the house and the patients room
was thoroughly disinfected. The room was
sealed up as usual, and sulphur burned in 1t
TIL all the germs of the smallpox had been
killed The room was not opened again till last
night, when il positive that there were no
germs left
None of the nurses or attendants showed any
symptoms of the disease at any time and the
doctors say that all fear of il breaking out
among them is over.
The greatest mystery to the physicians is how
the man got the disease. There has not been
smallpox patient in Bellevue Hospital since
January 10, when Willis Brown walked in with
the disease. He sent to the City Lodging
House. but returned to the hospital and was
then sent TO the Reception Hospital 1t is con-
jectuTed that perhaps some patient who hap
pened 10 get into the erysipelas ward had the
aiiment. None Of the patients in the building,
however, showed any symptoms of smallpox.
Woodward is a Philadelphia, the of
merchant He is in the Male Training School
for Nurses. of which the other nurses are MEM
oers and of which the female superintendent is
the head.

SUIT IN FEDERAL COURT IN TENNESSEE TO
TEST ITS CONsTITUTIoNAIITY

Chattanooga Tenn, Feb II (SpeciaD.-Sut was
entered in the United States Court to-day by the
Hanover National Bank of New-York against
Max Moyses, resident of Chattanooga to recover
$1,000 Moyses recently adjudged bankrunt
by the bankruptcy court here. The bill seeks to
have the bankruptcy proceeding aside and at
tacks the constitutionality of the National Bank
ruptcy law. The bill maintains that the National
Bankruptcy law violates the Federal Constitution
because 1t is not a uniform law, and does not ap
ply alike to all citizens. inasmuch the act denies
voluntary bankruptcy to corporations while per
hitting all other citizens to go into voluntary bank
ruptcy.
The declaration sets forth that the is not uni
form in It's application and that uniform laws are
guaranteed by the Constitution Of the United
States. In this respect the declaration sets forth
that the exemptions allowed to debtors vary in
the different States in which they reside accord
ing TO State laws. The declaration further sets
forth that the clause which allows compromise
with creditors by a bankrupt against the will of
one creditor, takes away a constitutional right
OF the Directing creditor by forcing him to settle
the debt in manner Objectionable and unsati
