PHYSICIANS
ARE AROUSED
Recommend That Measures be
Taken to Prevent Smallpox,
WHOLESALE VACCINATION
One Of the Greatest safeguards
Streets, Alleys, Lots and Yards
and Cellars of Houses
should be Kept Clean.

Mary of the physicians in this 'ity
fear there will he an epidemic oi Siilalt-
pox in this city this wiLter unless strili-
gent measures are taken to prevent W.
sliseaSc Their fears are based on thr
fact that the disease is now raging II.

said that the only way to COMBAT ".
disease and keen it from spreading Ut
ease il is brought here is to clean up ~
abe streets and alleys, cut the weeds ana
remove the filth that has been deposited
on tie vacant lots, ard last bat n''
least, insist that the people of the Guy
become vaccinatcd.
some Of :hc streets in the city are
very dirty aud only recently the bohri
af Health has ordered that the weeds he
cut from vacant lots. The health officers
Of tht. department should see that the
order is carried out.
Another important matter is drainage.
Several physicians who wcr'" seen inSi
evening said that this matter should ne
looked into carefully. 1t Is also claimed
that there should be Il house to nous"
inspection of back yards and cellars y
officers Of the Board Of Health. These
insnections are made in the SUMMER hi:
it is said that an Inspection should he
made ut this time in view of the pos
sihiity of there being an epidemic 81
smallpox here this wintcr.
The Board of Health handled the dis
ease well whore il was prevalent here
las, winter but then it was not bad aud
most of tie patients were sent I" llt'
pest house.
Dr Howard Ogle who has had mucl
experience with smallpox stated last
night that III his opinion vaccination wa
the best safeguard from the disease. liz
said that because Il person has l"el
yaccirated when a chill Is no rehSoi
WHY they should not be again vac"inhtr,
to guard against smallpox. l)r. ogl'
said that when ne and DIR. Springc
were in charge of the smallpox hoSpita
some years ago they would get vaccinntci
every time the disease would break out
He also stated tha- smallpox Is no
necessarily confined to the winter season
az one of the worst apidemics that VIII
mingtOn has ever had was IN the lat
srring.
DIR. Joseph l.. Pyle was of about tn
same opinion as DIR. Ogle. DIR. Pyl
stated that he firmly believes that !
every person Oh earth was properly an
effectively vaccinatcd the smallpox is on
disease that could he wiped ont. lll
Pyle thinks there is no reason for az
7icipating an epidemic in Wilmington
The proper care Is taken by the healt
authorities.
Other local physicians suggested tha
aS Il safeguard from the disease ev"ryon
should he vaccin;ted. There are fol
M vaccine physicians in Wilmington to i
this work. Those who are not able I
pay for il need not hesitate going to II,
vaccine physicians as they are paid l.

Lincoln and friend of the freed
men. She was link between the
old slavery south and the recon-
struction north, and had the
courage of her convictions.
She was a great reader and kept
in touch with the literature and
politics Of the day. The greatest
physical affliction that could have
befallen her, loss of sight, came
upon her few years ago. She
was wonderfully patient under it
and was from thence an eager
listener. She was one of the few
women who always read the presi-
dents message. She keenly en-
joyed President McKinley's last
speech at Buffalo the day before
the assassination.
Mrs. Cresap was a "keeper at
home" but "given to hospitality"
From her marriage to and through
her last sickness she exercised this
grace brought from the sunny
south. She and her husband made
the minister's of all denominations
so welcome that their house was
called the "preachers' hotel"
Among the clergy SO entertained
for days each were Bishops Ames
and Hamlin of the M. e. church,
also Rev. DR.. Moore, who has since
become Bishop.
She was loyal to her native city,
state and country to the last. 1t
was great qualification always to
her that Maryland never seeded,
and did observe day of prayer
for the recovery of President Nc
Kinley.
Listening to the Bible read, she
found new beauty in it daily, and
the blessings she invoked upon the
meals showed spirit feeding up
on the heavenly mama.
She leaves four daughters, Mrs.
L. M. Stevenson and Mrs. j. f.
Dorsey, of Dresden, Mrs. G. W,
Lemert, Of Columbus, and Mrs.
Robert b. Longstreth, Of Union
Furnace, to mourn their loss.
Two sisters, Mrs. Emily Cresap,
of Uhrichsville, and Mrs. r. 1.
Bennedum, Of Dennison, yet sur
vive. These with nephews and
neices and other friends sorrow
not as those without hope. "Her
children rise up and call her bless
ed aud her works do follow her."
