VaccinatiOnists.,e a~.-s.

Up to noon yesterday the anti
their offer to furnish Health
Commissioner Hall with two nom
immunes for service at the quaran-
tine hospital. DR.. Hall does not propose
to wait much longer. There is immediate
need Of the services Of a laundress and a
scrub woman. Both can be obtained with
out trouble, DR.. Hall declares, but they
will be persons made immune by vaccina-
ton unless the Opposition shows up with
the other kind very soon. He thinks he
has given ample time already, but will
wait another day or two if he can be as
sured positively that the anti-vaccina-
tionists have any real intention of accept
ing his offer.
At meeting of about fifty of the foes
Of compulsory vaccination held at the
Boston block Saturday night, it was de-
cided after spirit discussion to take up
DR.. Halls challenge. Some Of those pres
injure the dignity and standing of the So
ciety. They wanted the organization to
conf1ne it's work wholly to resisting COM
pulsory vaccination measures in the COM
munity. The majority took the view, how
ever, that the society could not afford to
ignore the health commissioners cha1-
lenge, on the ground that it would give
the impression that they were afraid to
meet the conditions Of the test. COM
mittee was appointed to wait on DR.. Hall
and learn the details of his proposition,

TWIN CITY MEIH0DISTS
A JOINT SESSION OF PASTORS
Bishop Joyce Speaks of the Great
Twentieth Century Fund
Movement.

The Methodist ministers of Minneapolis
and St. Paul gathered yesterday at the
Hennepin Avenue Methodist church to
listen to an address which Bishop Joyce
had been requested to give concerning the
raising of the Twentieth Century fund.
The preachers made acknowledgement at
the close by a rising vote of thanks. The
bishop said in part:
The twenty million dollar twentieth century
fund which the Methodist church has started
to raise and which, according to DR.. Lyman
Abbott, is the greatest financial effort IN
the history of the Christian religion, will soon
be raised Four things have made this pos
sible: The general secretaries of the Metho-
dist church, 1.-The efficient work of the pre-
siding elders, the hearty cooperation of the
earnest layrnen, and the hearty support Of the
church membership. The entire membership
is in hearty sympathy with the great effort
and success is assured. In letters which
have from some of the secretaries they in
form me that Minneapolis and St. Paul and
the state of Minnesota are among the first
to respond and they have achieved as great
success as in any other state.
Concerning the conversion Of two million
souls, there is a great spiritual work going
on in the church, which not only makes
possible that thousands are being brought
to Christ, but which has put the church in
the best spiritual condition that it has known
in ten years. The round Of conferences which
1t has been my privilege to preside over con-
firm this. The entire church has turned its
face toward the world as a field for toll
and God is nightly answering our prayers
The bishop then went into the outlook
for foreign missions, subject which lies
very near to his heart, as he has visit ed
most of the foreign fields of the church.
The bishop said, among other things,
that during his service as bishop of the
church, term of fourteen years, never
had he had four consecutive weeks OF

will arrive in Minneapolis Wednesday.
They will remain for the rest of the week
and before their departure will appear
before the legislature. They Will argue
that from the standpoint Of material gain
as the result of a comprehensive exhibit
at the great fair of 1908, Minnesota as one
of the states included in the original pur-
chase from France has more interest in
making big showing than in any of the
expositions in which the state has yet been

LAFFIN CAN BE CURED

So Says Pasteur Institute Official
Smallpox in Chicago.
Harry Luxton, chief sanitary inspector
of the department OF health returned yes
terday from Chicago where he left Charles
Lafin's boy undergoing trea tment at the
Pasteur Institute. He says the physician
in charge as confident that he can effect
a cure. even at this late date. He de-
clared that he was greatly disappointed
over the death Of the Lila boy and would
not believe that it was due to hydropho-
bia. The Latin boy was accepted at one
half the usual rates.
Mr.. Luxton put in part of a. day with
the Chicago health department studying
its methods in dealing with smallpox The
methods there do not approach those of
the Minneapolis department for thorough
ness, he says. After taking a smallpox
case from a lodging house, for instance,
the department sprinkles some liquid for
n1eldehyde about the floors and then al
lows business to be resumed. The depart
ment is doing little in the way Of vaccin-
alton, saying that the community is al
ready practically immune by reason of
previous vaccinations. The Chicago de-
partment says it is getting only about four
cases of smallpox Per day on the average.
