In the spring and summer of 1900, as .nearly all Nomeitcs will remember, there was ''small-poX scare.' Sev- eral vessels were sent into quarantine at Egg island, near St. Michael, and T pest house was es;ab. he'd in Nome, Only one person G.cd, and ever s"ce that time there has been a dit,t.tEtI of opinion as to whether the disease was smallpox or not.
 Capt Seeley, ofthe Steamship Oregon, was blamed bitterly for permitting hls passengers to laId, ther3 being, it was alleged, case oi smallpox on board his vessel. Anyway, he and the ships physician, Dr. J. D. BOnnar, reported all well on board A few days later those of the Oregon passengers who could be located, were rounded up and isolated: number Of cases of smallpox were found, and these were placed in the pest house established by the fed eral authorities under the direction of Capt. D. II. Jarvis arl the supcsintcn- dence of Dr. 5. J. Call. It cost the government something like $lS,0O0, Capt. Jarvis stepping into the breach and assuming the responsibility, for there was no time to communicate with the authorities at Washington.
 Out of this small-poX scare there grew a good deal of animosily, and the Ore gon people were roundly condemned. Threats of hanging the captain and the ships doctor were made should they come on shore. But in the lapse of time it would seem that the Oregon officers did not act ill knowing. culpa- bic manner.
 In the fall of 1901 Capt. F. NJ. Ceder- bergh. the well-knOwn mining man, sent Dr. Bonnar, the Oregon medical off, cer at that time, piece of rope, saying it was cut from the rope which the doe tor was to have been hanged by the people of Nome, had he been found
 Dr. Bonnar, who is a prominent phy- sician of Buffalo, N. Y.. last summer replied to the letter, and in it he gives his view q the great smallpox scare of Nome in l9O0.' It is well worth reading. Dr. Bonnar sticks to his as sertion that there was no smallpox, either on the Oregon or any of the steamers which were quarantined. His letter to Capt. CeGerbcr. follows:
 "I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your express parcel containing what you inform me, was originally intended for my leave-laking from mundane cess in saving the steamship Oregon from quarantine in the summer of 1900,

r TOW m"ch popularity Dr., Hall - gained among those old Are
 tic veterans will be lett to the
 reader to determine. Tho in- formation he received while with the Iwilliks, regarding the Franklin rec ords, he kept for future use. and there is no doubt that had he lived to again return to those Arctic regions, he would have made another attempt to find the cementod vault and the grave of Sir John Franklin. Pat Coleman and three other white men of his party would have braved danger and even death in that undertaking.
 Physically Dr. Hall was an excep- tional man; his tenacity of purpose and powers of endurance were far above those of the ordinary man. He was above medium height, powerfully built, with broad chest and muscular limbs and a large head. In the month of May while we were still with him. we were returning from the west shore Of Committee bay, 120 miles from the .NIwillik camp. Our dogs had been on rations for several days; a terri ble blizzard was raging, and during four days our dogs had had but one meal, and our party Lad eaten their last mor.el of food before starting on the return trip. Before half the dis tance had been travelled, four men had become snow blind; lines were attached to their bodies and then to the sled. Dr. Hall and one white man taking turns in leading the dog team, for the drivers whip had no effect and the dogs must be led. On North Pole lake Dr. Hall, too, put a line around his body and fastened 1t to the sled, al- though he was not snow blind, nor was he ever, so far us l am aware. His small deep set eyes were proof against that painful malady. For fifty miles he thus walked with the line around his waist, but there was one white man of the party wno covered she l2O miles without ass stance of any

Capt. Miles O'Reilly OF the Ralph

for sharp criticism yesterday from a mum

been carrying on progressive euchres fol
charitable purposes for his attitude In
relation to the euchre that Mrs. John Knipt
OF 100 Woodbine street intended to give
Saturday afternoon in Harris Hall, at Gates
avenue and Broadway. and which had to
be abandoned
When the captain was seen last night he
said:
If ] discover a gambling game In my

light do not consider games Of progressive
-euchre held for charitable purposes. ! do
believe 1t violation OF the law for persons
to conduct such games for the sole purpose
OF gaining a livelihood. The only way to
settle this euchre controversy would, l
presume, be through the courts. i do not
know just what position the courts would
take In the matter and am not supposed TO.
Il am not going to conduct a wholesale
crusade against legitimate progressive
euchre games. Those not legitimate will
have to get out of the business Many
persons have called on me to-day and re-
quested permission to conduct euchres.

Mrs. Amy Carlisle Of 1903 Broa dway,
who conducts Thursday afternoon euchre

denunciation Of Capt. O'Reilly.

Mrs. George NJ. Hill Of SO Eldert street,
who also has weekly euchres. said last

unnecessary for them to 90 on the house,
