TO PREVENT SMALLPOX.
The Demand for Vaccine Virus Ex,
 ceeding All Records.

The Demand for Vaccine Virus Ex-
 ceeding All Records.
 New York, Dec 12.-In consequence of the cases of smallpox which have occurred in this city lately. the de mand for vaccine virus by physicians. to use in their private practice, exceeds all demands in previous years.
 The corps of vaccinators sent out by the health department has been in- creased and the scope of their labors widened. After to-day they will visit the better class of apartment houses and private dwellings up town, and satisfactory proof must be presented to them that the necessary precaution has been taken. If it has not, they will take it themselves. It is esti- mated that by the end of this week more than 100000 persons will have been vaccinated in the borough of Manhattan alone.
 These measures are not intended to create alarm. but to allay it and the physicians of the health department as- sert with the utmost confidence that the result of the present advice that all persons, young or old, submit to vaccination. will be made manifest in three or four weeks.

THE ALUMNI'S ANNUAL.
Sub Committees Appointed at Last
 Nights Meeting.

Sub Committees Appointed at Last
 Nights Meeting.
 The Alumni of the Waterbury High school held another very important and highly interesting meeting in the High school building last night and arranged further details for their grand annual concert and ball to be held New Years night in the City hall. IL was the general opinion of those present that the elaboratenesS and magnificence of the event should equal if not surDaSS the one given last year. Consequently neither pains nor expense will be lacking to make it the greatest social event of the year. The music will be of an exceptionally high order and will be furnished joint 1y by q band and orchestra. 4 bril- liant concert commencing at o'clock will precede the dancing. The hall will be prettily and tastefully decor ated with flags and bunting and from behind innumerable potted plants the band and orchestra will supply music. Tickets for the affair can be obtained from various members of the alumni or can be purchased at Driggs X Smiths. As the supply is limited and already there are assurances of q large gathering it would be we'll for in tending purchasers to secure their tickets at once. Tickets will cost one dollar each and already over $50 tickets have been pledged. No one needs expect complimentary tickets. as these tickets will be conspicuous this year by their absence.
 The following subcommittee were appointed last evening: Printing. Dr J. D. Freney and the Misses Loretta Hayes and Katherine Charters: decor ating. the Misses Vena Smith, Rose Mcdonald. Martha Pollak. Clara Livingstone and John B. Grady; re. freshment James A. Mcdonald music. T. r. Carmody M. J. Noonan Frank Spellman and the Misses Helen Kaiser and Jennie Culhane: press Dr T. J.
