al have been authorized d by the State
Board OF Health to impress upon this
community the necessity of vaccination
and re-vaccination in view Of the preva
lence OF smallpox in neighboring cities.
"Advices from all directions show that
there is danger OF its becoming epidemic
in the United States. AT this time An
napolis is more exposed than before on
account of the large force OF workmen
brought here by the contractors OF the
State and Government buildings, which
is to be increased in the next few weeks.
"The irfux OF strangers from all parts
of the State during the session of the
lie, islaiure al d later on from all parts OF
the country makes the danger greater.
Success in controlling smallpox depends
upon thorough preparation before its ad
vent and speedy har ding OF the initial
cases | am authorizt d to advise medical
men in this vicinity that in the Unite d
States there now are about four times as
many cases Of smallpox as there were a
ear ago. ard our physicians are about
FIVE times as likely to see smallpox this
year as last year.
"lt will be wise for the Naval Acad-
emy authorizes to act promptly in this
matter il they have not already done so.
A vaccination certificate ought to be re-
quired of all employees in every depart
ment. If the City Council at its next
meeting will provide smallpox shanty
on the lot owned by the city ard il the
physicians will unite with the Health
Officer in rigid enforcement OF vaccina.

the disease at any moment.

pires on November Ist, 1904. After re-
citing the grant of the charter and its
extensions. the bill continues:
"Whereas since last exte nsion of the

"Whereas the citiL ms OF Anne Arun-

dilure OF said original corporation at all

"Whereas it is believed said enterprise
will be taken hold of and completed by

The Spirit Ofwinter.

The Spirit OF Winter is with us, max
ing its presence known in many different
REPRESENTATIVES, by CHEEKY sunshine
and glislening SHOWS. and sometimes by
driving winds and binding storms. To
many people il seems TO take delight
in making bad things worse, for rheuma-
tism twists harder. twinges sharper, ca
tarrah becomes more annoying, and the
many symtoms of scrofula are developed
and aggravated. There is not much poe
try in this, but there is Truth. and it is a
wonder that more people don't get rid oi
these ailments. The medicine that cures
them Hoods Sarsaparilla--is easily OBJ
tanned and there is abundant proof thai
its cures are radical and permanent.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. f.
The United States cruiser Brooklyn,
flagship of Rear Admiral Schley in the
real war on the Cuban coast and now
flagship of Rear Admiral Coghlan in
the make believe war being waged off
the New England coast, ran upon a
real obstruction in Buzzards bay i'm
mediately after the completion of a the
oretical attack upon Fort Rodman,
which guards New Bedford. The ex-
tent of the injury inflicted upon the
cruiser is not as yet known.
The Brooklyn led a section of Admit
raj Higginson's invading feet, consist.
ing of the monitor Puritan, the cruisers
Olympia and Montgomery, the gum
boats Gloucester, Mayfower, Peo-
ria and Aileen and the collier Leyden,
which carries guns and in this fight
ranked as a cruiser. The Brooklyn
was going at nine knot speed when
she encountered the obstruction, which
was uncharted, but which is believed
to be an ancient W *.
