Fifty Thousand Sore Arms
NEW YORK. March 1S-More than
a0UO9 inhabitants of Greater New York
were yaccinated by board of health phv-
slciaps last week, and over 30. 900 of them
lived in the borough of Manhattan. The
figures of the week before were 40 coo and
1890 respectively. No such thorough
ana general campaign against the spread
of smallpox has been seen in this city
before

sweatshops received calls and all the
employees were rendered immune except
those who refused, and they were a
small percentage.
The most interesting feature of the
campaign was the work among the cheap
lodging houses, especially those along
the Bowery. Sixty physicians assembled

and met as many policemen who were

house on the Bowery was visited and
nearly every inmate was vaccinated The
presence of the policemen was found OF
advantage
The work among the lodging houses is
especially important, as they seem to be
the source of the present outbreak of the
disease. DIR. Wallace Bansel. of the health
department, is in charge of the vaccin-
alton corps. On his desk there is a large
map of Manhattan mounted on wood. and
every house in which smallpox patients
are located is indicated with large head
ed black pin.

Georges has been for long time oppos-
ed to Sunday entertainments, and that he
has impressed that upon his flock. Dr.
Greer has the same idea, and not one Of
the Vanderbilts will go to any affair
given on Sunday. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Of course, follows in the footprints of his
wife. There is quite d gathering of Sab
batarians, and, indeed, society is divided
absolutely into two camps But society
is divided any way, not,~only in three
parts. as was Gaul, in Julius Caesars
time, but into many sections.
