They Are Hustled Out and Sent Back to
Passaic Whence They Had COne--Then
All Hands I'm tho Jail Are Vacclnated
Only Chick enpox, says Passaic Doctor
PATERSON, N. j., May 2o,-A smallpox
scare that caused the vaccination OF l5o
prisoners in tho Passaic County and Passalo
city iails, Of all the police and court attend
ants of Passaic and the keepers In both
jails, and that has caused considerable
friction between the county and fassalo
city health depart ments, occurred mere THIS
afternoon.
Five colored prisoners, afflicted WIN
what DR.. David Crounse. city physician
OF Pasaaic, had diagnosed as chickenpo2
and who had been sentencedt to the county
Jail by Recorder Dalrymple of Passaic'
were declared to be suffering with small
pox by County Physician Mcbride after
they had been in Jail here three hours. Dr.
Mcbride Immediately ordered the prisoners
back to Passaic, where they were taken 70
the isolation hospital there
The county Jail was quarantined at once.
Down at Passalc, when 1t was reported
that the negro prisoners who had oeen
taken from 65 and 81 Main avenue, two
DAYS ago and charged with the larceny OF
some lead pipe, were suffering from small
pox and not chickenpox as had been sup
posed, a scramble was made at once to be
vaccinated The police court and jail
were scrubbed with carbolc soap and dis
infected. The prisoners who caused all the
trouble are George jackson Of Wallington;
George Albert, William Gray, Theodore De
Mann and John De Manu. all OF 65 and 81
Main avenue. Passaic.
The disease is directly traceable to the
family of jackson at Wellington. Eva
jackson, sister of the prisoner. was sitting
on tho stoop of her home last week, A
physician, who was passing in his autom-
bile, saw her and declared that she was
suffering with smallpox and reported tine
matter to the Passaic police and Health
Department. The place was visited and
quarantined, but the case was decided to be
one OF chickenpox. William jackson was
arrested last Tuesday for some trivial offense
and when arraigned Recorder Dalrypmle,
TO whom Jackson said he had chickenpox
taken from his sister, told him to go home
under suspension Of sentence.
The quarantine on the house was then
raised for some unknown reason. On
Thursday jackson and two others were
arrested for larceny and sent to the
county jail this morning in the Passao
patrol wagon. The four men had con-
tracted the supposed chicken pox from
jackson. but the Passaic authorities passed
them along.
The Paterson authorities are wroth at
the la1ity of the Passaic people in expos
ing all the county prisoners to the danger
of contagion.
The Passaio physicians still insist that
the men are suffering from chicken pox.

METROPOLITAN CIVILIZATIONS
How the Tournament This Week May
Unset Form.


A schoolboy, Harold Wilcox, won tho
Metropolitan Golf Association champion
ship last year after the downfall Of Findlay
Dou glas and in the absence Of ". j. Travis
at Sandwich. 1t wss a surprise. but not
greater one than may happen this ,ear.
for 1t ia the general opinion that Travis will
not be able to win on the rolling land at Fox
Hills, where the competition is to be held on
next Wednesday to Saturday. With Travis
passed and Dou glas not at his best. on account
Of a lame hand. it seems to be any ones race.
Immediately after the open champion
ship won by Auchterlonie at Garden City.
In 1902, about the same field met at Fox Hills.
and Auchterlonie was not in the first eight.
He could score en- the fiat. but not on the
updulating oourse where the player is always
above or below the ball as he addresses IT.
and this same difference is what VIII put
Travis out Of court. say the students OF

and try to spot the next n. G. A. champion.
Travis cannot play on an up and down

guarded by hazards that compel a pitched
approach, say those willing to back the field
against him. and they point to his downfall
at Baltusrol last fall as proof OF the latter

The un1nteresting nature of public
documents and reports furnishes an
inexhaustible source Of newspaper hu-
NOR. The student, the scholar and the
public man know that these documents
are packed with fascinating and use
full matter; but the way in which It
is presented is cold and uninviting.
The same charge lies, too, against most
reports that are read at meetings Of
clubs and societies. Crowded with
facts they may be, and brtstling with
statistics they often are, so that one
who gives his mind to them may sluice
out nuggets of information which he
would be sorry to miss. Yet when all
is said, those who listen are present
from a sense Of duty and not from
hope of entertainment. There Is no
need of this. Take, for example, the
annual report of some department Of
women's work in the church. The real
purpose Is to extend knowledge of the
work, and above all, to interest out
s1ders in 1t, so that support may be
more abundant. The opportunity to re-
late the picturesque incldent-to recall
the things that were pathetic or. hui
morous or especially instructIve-Is too
good to be wasted. Then why give it
up to dry figures and tresome sta
t1sticS? Why not infuse into it the
life and yivacity and interest Of the
work itself The writing of reports Is
task to which nowadays both men
and women are frequently called. 1t
Is really the writing of history; and a
little study Of those historians who
have won and retained popularity, and
who have exerted the greatest influ-
ence on other minds, will convince one
that 1t Is possible to draw pictures
that are true without making them
dull. The old saying that good writ
ing consists largely in knowing what
to leave out is especially true of re-
ports. From them, at least, one might
we'll resolve to leave out everything
that Is not interesting. What sigh
Of relief would 80 up from those who
have to listen.

Day of tho Rolling Stone,

In that place called Monte Carlo
every time the wheel turns and the
ball rolls into its place, it marks a
fresh condition Of the game, an abso-
lutely new chance which has nothing
whatever to do with anything that has
gone before or is to appear in the fu-
ture. Each spin is the year / of the
bank. Therefore the bank wins.
America has appreciated the year ],
and that fact has not been unconnect-
ed with yankee success. You will find
that man loses money as a farmer,
q mechanic, book canvasser and sud
denly rises to wealth as a builder. The
peg has found the hole at last.
An Englishman, unappreciative OF
the year /, would have been chained
to failure by the precedent Of centu.
rtes. He would have argued that he
had always been a farmer, that his
father was a farmer and his uncle a
dairyman. Therefore it was plainly
impossible that he could ever make
money as a builder. In conclusion
ne would have quoted you that falls,
