CINE were kept in the Fashion stables
near by. When an alarm of fire was
turned in, the big bell in .ha tower
sounded out the alarm and the volun-
teers dropped their business and ran
to the station. The stable hostlers

essary before lasting cure is effected

DISEASE NOT SMALLPOX.
Student Brennan Merely Suffering
 From Measles.

IUIll MGetSItS. The disease with which William Bren- nan, a senior in the Sheffield Scientific school, was taken i'll Sunday, has proved to be measles instead of small pox, as was at first reported. This statement was given out by Health Of ficer Wright last evening. pr. Wright added that there is not the slightest foundation for the sensational state- ments which have been printed in re- gard to the smallpox cases at Yale and the consequent alarm of the students
 In regard to the illness of Rufus Parks, who is sick with varioloid at the Colony on Hilhouse avenue, Dr.. Wright says there should be no cause for alarm as the young mans condition has much improved.
 The house at No. 113 Wall street is owned by D. B. Bradley. MT. Bradleys $ many friends will be pleased to know that there was no smallpox in the house, as was erroneously stated.
 President Arthur T. Hadley addressed the Yale students at the chapel exercises yesterday morning on the smallpox or varioloid scare that is troubling Yale He said:
 There Is in some parts of the college community an excitement concerning smallpox, which is not warranted by the facts. From the first the authori- ties have adopted the policy of making publicly known and of isolating every case which could give ground for the slightest suspicion. Only two such doubtful cases have developed-one at ''The Colony" the other at house on Wall street. In view, however, of all the circumstances the authorities rec ommend that all students shall be vac- cinated. This is the right remedy and the sure one. The wrong remedy is to run away. If you have not the disease in your system, vaccination will make you safe. In the very improbable con- tingency that any of you has the dis ease in his system, running away will not protect him. Least of all will the university countenance any such mis- taken policy by suspending any special line of study
 Every few years we have an alarm of this kind. No such alarm has ever been followed by any serious conee- quences. 1 congratulate you on the su- perior coolness which the students of the present college generation have shown, as compared with their prede- cessors under similar circumstances If you can, individually and collectively maintain this improvement in moral courage, 1t will stand Yale in good stead in all the affairs of life.''
 The following official digest of the sit uation is given out by the college au- thorities:
 "One case of varoloid; one doubtful case, probably vaccine rash; two cases of measles" !"
