FEW SMALLPOX CASES.
This States Exemption Due to Vac cination, Says pr Lindsley.

This States Exemption Due to Vac
 cination, Says pr Lindsley.
 New Haven, May 16.-Dr c. A. Lindsley. secretary of the state board of health, yesterday made public his report for April. The report pays particular attention to smallpox, which has been prevalent in this state recently. Dr Lindsley finds that only a few cases of the disease have been discovered since the last report and adds that the exemption of Connecti- cut as compared with other states can only be attributed to the protective influence of vaccination.
 Tn concluding his report Dr LInds- ley says: "This office is in receipt of reports of HI cases of smallpox oc- curing within year Only one case has been reported in the last three weeks. 4 very large majority of these were never vaccinated. Seven of them had been vaccinated from sew en to fourteen years before. There were eleven cases about which reli- able information has not been given respecting vaccination. All the oth-, CTS were unvaccinated. All the deaths were of the not vaccinated. How can the anti-vaccinationists ex- plain these faets?"
 The mortality report shows 1,19l deaths in April This is 4S less than in March and 62 less than in April last year. Scarlet fever is prevailing widely in the state, being reported from 54 towns. From Hartford 101 cases are reported.

STOCK OF COAL LOW.
Dealers Supplies May Run Short on
 Account of Strike.

Dealers Supplies May Run Short on Account of Strike.
 From inquiries made at the office of several coal companies In this city to- day it was learned that the stock of coal i'll this city at the present time is
 not very large. 1t is not one-third of the regular supply at this season of
 the year. Owing to the strike among the coal miners the prices of coal may be raised by the local dealers. It will depend upon the length of the strike and the local demand for coal. The local situation was explained as fol
 lows to a Democrat reporter to-day by one of the local dealers. It states the situation clearly as all the local deal CTS view it:
 The local supply of coal is not very heavy. The shipments in April have been slower than they were a year ago. None of the dealers are so well equipped as they were year ago. l With the ordinary demand our com pany has a supply of coal which will last two months. Two years ago the strike occurred in the fall of the year. At that time we had
 a supply of coal which under ordinary i circumstances would have lasted four
 months. It was, however, sold inside
 or week. The people became fright ened and began to send in orders in
 large numbers. After we had taken
 orders for all the coal on hand we ad.
 vanced the price of coal 75 cents a I ton. The orders didn't come in SC l quickly then. At the end of six weeks when the strike was settled, the price
 was dropped 9 cents ton. The situ l atlon at the present time is different
 In the fall of the year the orders fol ! coal is generally for a ton or two. But
 this is the season when people arc l sending ill their orders for their winter
 supply of coal. The most of the orders range from five to fifty tons. It de I bends somewhat upon the length of the strike whether there will be a raise soon or not. If people become fright ened and rush in with large orders
 there will be an early rise in coal. Any
 way there is every prospect of a raise
 In price. Strike or no strike, the prices I would be advanced by the first of June
 or July. It depends upon circumstances
 whether the date of this advance will | be hastened. In New Haven the deal
 CTS raised the prices 90 cents a tor
 last Saturday. Tn Hartford the deal
 CTS have been charging S650 a ton fol
 some time and it doesn't cost them as
 much as local dealers to get coal IT l this city the price of coal is $6.25 al 1 the present time."

ATTEMPT TO BR1BE JOHNSTON

Atlanta, Ga, June 3.-Something Of
a sensation has been sprung in politi.
cal circles here today by rumors con.
Meeting two big book concerns with the

In Sunday mornings Atlanta Jour
nal an article appeared in which it was
stated that DR.. Mark Johnston had
been approached with a proposition to
retire from the race in favor of one OF
the other candidates, and that the
proposition was Indignantly turned
down by him. Today DIR. Johnston
furnishes for publication a card which
connects two book concerns with this
rumor and also connects each of the
two other candidates for School Com
missioner with one of the two rival
book companies.
Following is Dr. Johnston's card:

ing to my candidacy published in Sun

old, intimate friend whom / have al

connected with one of the two big book
concerns doing business in this State.

pany will give. or believe will give,
you a larger sum to remain in and
throw your support to Glenn" The
speaker got no further. l abruptly
stopped him with the demand thst he
utter not another word, saying to him,
sIti is fortunate circumstance that tits
you, an old intimate friend of long ago,
instead of the party interested, that
comes to me with this insult"
This is ALL
As am the only candidate now in
the field openly advocating uniform
system of text books, it is perfectly
natural that the book concern now hav-
ing monopoly of the school book trade
in the state and the one desiring to
procure it should both want to get me
out of the way, as they are we'll aware
that they could not hope to use me
after my election.
My canvass has been conducted
throughout solely by myself on the
stump and my wife as my campaign
manager at home, and the people OF
Georgia may rest assured that together
We will remain in the field to the end
in spite OF all the book concerns and al
the money in Georgia. Our prospects
are brighter today than ever, and we
have assurances from friends through
out the state which make us feel conf
dent of my election.

An, drink if you viii to sweetheart
And a wife of faith undaunted,
And drink to the praise of their
fetching ways,
To charms that have long been
vaunted.
And drink 10 the eyes and drink to
the lips,
Aye, drink since drink we must,
But when we've done, drink everyone
TO the girl the women trust.
All, drink if We will to one whose faith
Can last through years undaunted.
And drink to the trust that is never
married,
Though mans deceit be doubled.
And drink to the songs and drink to
the signs
OF earth and heaven above,
But the pToudest boast is to drink a
toast
TO the girl the women love.
Aye, drink to the lass who can praise
the charms
That would steal her love could
they sieze him,
And drink to the lass who will snuh
man.
When she has no right to please
him.
And drink to the great, warm. honest
soul,
Aye, drink to her kiss and curl,
For her hearts as true as the sky is
blue
Who is true to another girl.
