The cut given below is that of a
Matata stone and It points unerringly
to the working of these mines by
Mexicans as the Matata stone is a
product Of Mexico and is used by the
natives OF that country in grinding
corn and other cereals and used by
the natives in their primitive state.
The stone from which the illustIa

the stone was found we're great piles
OF Stag rock that showed that there

that were in the rock that made the

these Matata stones for grinding
cereals they were also used for break
ing the ores which we're ground to a
powder by the manual labor of the
Mexicans and their slaves, they used
the small round rock as a pistle in
the mortar made by the larger rock.

GET VACCINATED

Wilmington has been remarkably
fortunate in escaping SO far any seri-
ous smallpox epidemic. but during the
last week there have been a number Of
new cases. and while the condition IS
by no means alarming, yet 1t should be
sufficient to cause every precaution TO
be taken. All experience teaches That
the best and only known safe
guard lies in vaccination, and at this
stage. anyone in normal health who
refuses TO undergo the slight discom-
fort incident to the operation may be
regarded not only careless OF his own
welfare. but Indifferent to the welfare
of others. A case of smallpox means
not only the suffering and danger OF
the individual, but THAT many others
have been subjected to the contagion,
and that houses will be Quarantined,
and persons Inconvenience and kept
from work. The Board Of Health has
decided to rlgidly enforce the vacccina-
tion rule in all schools, and this is a
proper and necessary precaution. II
IL is necessary for the students 1t is
necessary for older people, and no adult
should be too negligent or too coward
ly to undergo the slight discomfort
OF the operation. which the children
are compelled TO suffer.
We are informed by one of our promi-
nent physicians that one who has been
successfully vaccinated, Is practically
immune for a period Of about five years,
and sometimes even longer, OF all The
cases in Boston and Philadelphia In the
last year OF two. II has been discover
ed that almost none have been of per
sons successfully vaccinated within
five years, while vast ma
jority have been of per
sons who have never been vacclnatcd
and few of those who we're vaooinatod
in infancy. It may be regarded as a
public duty for all persons in this city
TO undergo the operation, if they have
not recently done 80.

This was a terrible place, and the

suit of one desperate case, one poor
unfortunate committed suicide at 205
Orange street, because she was without
money, friends or means OF support.
To prevent more suicides the $1,000
in fines should be divided and 5000 kept
as a fund by the city, to provide quar-
ters for these unfortunates until they
can be found positions or given trans
portation to their homes in Other
cities.
