Owing TO the splendid trade last
season and anticipating an increased
business this season, / made extensive
preparations. purchased largely OF fur
skins, re-engaged my old experienced
and many new skilled workmen, who
were continuously employed during the
summer.
On the first OF September I had one
OF the largest and most complete stocks
OF reliable manufactured furs in the
world. But, owing to the terrible con-
dition OF 42d street, caused by the delay
OF the railroad company's contractors to
complete the work which they had un-
dertaken, business was virtually sus-
pended during September and October.
/ continued to manufacture right
along, anticipating large trade IN No
vember. / expected seasonable weather,
and, with the reelection OF President
Mckinley, looked forward to a con-
tinued prosperous condition. The busi-
ness OF the country has been prosperous,
the boom is still coming, but the iur
trade suffered on account OF the weather.
Only one week OF cold weather in No.
vember, and that busy one, and, while
December was one of the most pros
porous in the history OF my business, it
did not make up for the loss OF the three
previous months.
The holidays are over and am largely
overstoeked with

Owing to the expense OF carrying

SMALLPOX REPORTS WITHHELD.
BROOKLYN DOCTOR SAYS HE HAS TREATED
THIRTY CASES WITHOUT GIVING NOTICE.

THIRTY CASES WITHOUT GIVING NOTlCE.
About a dozen members of the Brooklyn Anti
Compulsory Vaccination League met last even
ing in the directors room OF the Brooklyn liz
brary. in Montague-st.. Brooklyn. and decided
to change the name OF the organization to the
New-York City ADMINISTRATION League, and
to extend its operations throughout the city.
DIR. Montague|R. Leverson, the president. asked
the members to consider what steps be
taken TO arrest the groundless smallpox scare
raised by the Board of Health, and to arrest and
punish the lawless and tyranncal conduct OF
said Board of Health in breaking into the
houses of citizens and forcibly injecting into
their blood the putrefying matter of sore"
DR.. Leverson said the Board of Health did not
want to get rid of smallpox, but did desire TO
create 2 scare. He asserted that he had treated
about thirty cases of smallpox without giving
notice 10 the Board of Health. and that all his
patients had recovered without a scar. He
thought every case OF smallpox, with certain
exceptions should be cured in from two TO six
days and that smallpox would never become in
shown that vaccination ever prevented a person
from getting smallpox, except by killing him.
Vaccination. IN the doctors opinion was pro-
ducing degenerate race among all the Vaccl-
mating nations of the world. He urged that
mass meeting be held at which the public might
be led to assert their rights. He said he would
bly, vaccinated in Brooklyn recently, after the
doors of their homes had been forced, and urge
them to the city.
Many suggestions were made as to how the
public could be aroused against vaccination.
One member wanted to appeal to Controller
Coler on the ground that the city's money was
being wasted by the Board of Health; another
wanted 10 appeal to the Mayor, and a third
would invoke the aid of the Legislature. 1t was
decided TO try 20 enlist the interest OF the
various trades unions
