WHISKY AND SMALLPOX.
Police Court Visitor Had a Double
Affection.

Loaded with bad whisky and suffer-
ing from continent smallpox, Dan Ryan
rolled into police station yesterday
morning and demanded the expert
opinion Of Desk Sergeant Pratt on the
nature of his trouble. One look at the
face and hands of the drunk was suf-
ficient evidence to the desk sergeant
that he had another smallpox patient
on hand, and he issued a peremptory
order for the visitor to make himself
scarce. Staggering under a load of
booze, Ryan made his way to the side
walk, where City Physician King, who
happened to be at the station, made
an examination He found that Ryan
was suffering from a severe case of
continent smallpox and was in a very
serious condition.
Ryan said that for several days past
he had been staying at the mission on
Commercial street, and that the puS-
tules had only made their appearance
yesterday morning. He thought it was
only a rash. but concluded to call at
the police station He was sent to the
isolation hospital.
Eight vaccinated prisoners who have
been under quarantine in the city jail
for some time past were released yes
terday by DR.. King. The terms of the
prisoners expired yesterday, and as
they had been Vaccinated the doctor
decided that there was no danger in
allowing them to go.
