and made map of the village as it was
at that time locating all the buildings
and telling the different owners as late as
1851, when he went to California, where
he has lived ever since. Mr.. Cowles was
born IN Peacham in 1914 and his letters,
one containing Is pages and one shorter,
were beautifully written and very inter-
estiDg. He also made model of the old
academy as it stood on the hill and sent
this IN sections, every piece so perfectly
fitted that Miss Cowles has since put it
together and it is pronounced a perfect
model bv those who remember the first
academy.

COUNSEL TO DECIDE.
Form of Vaccination Certificate Subject
Of Correspondence.

w. F. ROdrick, secretary of the board Of
education, has forwarded to the Commits
sioners a letter from T. Walter Fowler in
reference to the form of vaccination GER
tificate in use in the public schools, and re-
questing that it be referred to the corpora
ton counsel to decide If 1T is In accord
ance with law. Dr. Woodward, the health
officer, recently forwarded a report to the
board of education in regard to Mr.. Fow-
ler's letter. He says the writer apparently
seeks to establish the fact that certain
form of certificate as to vaccination is the
only one authorized by the statute, and it
is therefore beyond the power Of the
board of education to require any other
DR.. Woodward says the statute, however,
makes no reference whatever to certif-
Gates. but requires simply that no child
shall be admitted into the public schools
who shall not have been duly vaccinated
or otherwise protected against the small
pox." The health officer concluded by say
ing there was no reason, so far as he
could discover, why the board of educa-
ton should not require evidence of sue
cessful vaccination" in the form of a GER
tificatc or otherwise.
Upon the motion Of Commissioner Mac
farland the matter will be referred to the
corporation counsel for opinion.

COL. R. n. SAVAGE DEAD.
Noted Soldier and Author Passes Away
in New York.

The New York World of today says:
After lowering between life and death
since the night of October 3, when he was
run down by wagon at 42d street and
9th avenue, Col. Richard Henry Savage,
the well-known soldier and lawyer, and au-
thor of MY Official Wife and After
Many Years." died in Roosevelt Hospital
last night as the result of his injuries.
Although Col Savage rallied somewhat
for the first few days. his condition of late
kept growing worse, and yesterday 1t was
seen that he had not long to live.
Col Savage was born in Utica on June
- 1916 He entered West Point In 1854,
graduating in 1868. He became soldier of
fortune and in 1871 went to Egypt, where
he entered the Egyptian army as a COM
missioned officer Of high rank. He re-
manned in the service of the khedive until
1878.
In the war with Spain he was appointed
senior major of the I'd United States Volun-
teer Engineers and served in Cuba with
that regiment. He enjoyed the distinction
of personally hoisting the first American
flag in Havana.
Although popular as a soldier, his writ
ings have brought him even more promi-
nently before the public. all his novels and
| works having enjoyed large sales.
In 1873 he married Anna Josephine
Scheible of Berlin. The wedding took place
at the German embassy at Washington and
was an event of the season. Col. Savage s
wife is now in Berlin.
