SMALLPOXAT SHAW
No QUARANTINE of Stud
ents---Mr. Sale Says
No Danger.

AS was published in yesterdays pa
per there are st present four cases OF
smallpox in the pest house at the city
farm east of Raleigh, two of which
are girls from the Shaw University
Oegro) which is situated on large
grounds in the southern portion OF
the city and is attended by several
hundred male and female students.
After the publication of the notice
yesterday and the observation that
there We're number of students on
the streets and that the faculty of the
school We're going about, there was con-
siderable comment especially since 1t
had been published that the school
had been put under quarantine regu-
lations.
a reporter, therefore called on Mr..
Sale yesterday afternoon and inter-
viewed him as to the smallpox situa-
ton al the institution. According to
Mr.. Sales statement the information
that the students mad been placed un-
der quarantine regulations was in some
sense mistake. He had conferred,
said he, with the city physician. DR..
McGeachy, about the situation and he
did not think that a quarantine was
necessary. There had been only two
cases at the institution, both of them
being girls and they had been taken
caution had been taken, said he, against
the spread of the diseaTe and he did
not anticipate any trouble. While there
had been no requirement OF quafan-
tine, he had. he said, requested the
college authorities to keep the STU
dents within the grounds. He under
stood that some of the male students
had BEEN about the streets but that
the women in the school were confined
to their separate building where the
outbreak occurred.
The comment yesterday was to the
effect that In such case a quarantine
was much preferable to the course
pursued. several persons expressing
themselves as being apprehens1ve, and
a number of colored people in the vi
entity Of the school being particularly
alarmed. II was stated by these people
that there was no telling in what way
or TO whom exposure had come from
the two cases reported and il was
pointed out that in the case of the
Baptist University, female school
for white girls. there had been the
strictest sort of quarantine maintained
for ten days when the disease broke
out in that institution, although in
that case the patients We're kept in
the school buildings instead of being
sent TO the pest house.
DR.. Meserve stated yesterday that
although there was no quarantine, the
students of the institution were not
permitted to leave the grounds except
SO. There was constant coming and
going on the part of the students yes

Medicine in 18th Century.

Considerable light on the medical
practice of the eighteenth century is
contained in an article by DR.. S. G..
Tallentyre in the CornhiIl Magazine.
In the eighteenth century, says the
writer, the simple plan of allowing
disease to run its course, and nature
to work out her own salvation, was
never even dreamt of. eff a disease
attacks you, attack it, was the atti-
tude of the sick person. The poor
eighteenth century patient was in
deed to be pitied.
1.-The feeble voice from behind the
curtains of the four post bed-that
happiest hunting ground of the mic
robe-pleading for air or water was
always taken to be. not the voice
of the patients nature, but of the
vicious longing of his disease. The
invariable rule was. when he gasped
for breath, to draw the curtains
tighter and seal the windows vet
more hermeticaIly; when he burnt
with fever, to heap on the blankets;
when he begged for water, to give
nothing to drink; when he refused
food to stuff him with it; to take
request to sleep as an infallible sign
that he ought to be kept awake, and
request to be washed as the solemn
token that soap and water would be
fatal.
1.-The medical treatises of the age
are full of sad examples of young
ladies of beauty, fortune and great
merit, who, on the eve of being
married, went to bed perfectly we'll
and woke up stone dead of IAN in
1ammatory sure throat caught by a
night air, while the young gentlemen
OF parts and breeding, who died from
inadvertently leaving open their bed
room windows during the night, can
only have been exceeded by the num-
ber OF young gentlemen who must
have died from advertentIy keeping
them shut.

Indigestion Cured.

There is no case of Indigestion,
dyspepsia or stomach trouble that
will not yield to the digestive and
strengthing influence of Kodol Dys-
pepsIa Cure. This remedy takes the
strain off the stomach by digesting
what you eat and allowing it to rest
until it grows strong again. KodoI
Dyspepsia Cure affords quick and
permanent relief from indigestion
and all stomach troubles, builds up
the system and so purifes that
disease can not attack and gain a
foothold as when in a weakened con-
dition. The constantly increasing
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure by
physicians of hospital and general
practice of itself tells how this most
wonderful modern discovery has
proven to be the greatest digestant
for alleviation of a suffering human
ity. It's many cures of both children
and adults grows larger day by day.

THE CAMPO SECO
MINING ACCIDENT.

We have received some additional
particulars regarding the accident at
the Campo Seco copper mine on We'd
nesday of last week, by which George
McHose, Ed Harrison and q. Natalie
lost their lives. 1t appears that the
men we're working with machine drills
in cut towards an old shaft, that
had been caved in for thirty years or
so. 1t was rather expected that some
water would be encountered and prep
arations had been made to guard
against danger from that source. The
tunnel in which the men worked was
we'll lighted with fixed lights along
its entire extent and there was side
drift in which the retreating miners
could escape IN case of a rush of
water.
No thought had been given by any
one to any accumulation of noxious
gases. The men who we're working to
make the connection were volunteers,
who knew as we'll as any one about
the mine the nature of the task they
had undertaken. One of the men was
working his first shift in the mine
and another was an old employe OF
the mine, who had been absent for
some time and had only recently re-
turned to the mine.
When the ground was broken
through into the old works there was
very little water, not enough to cause
any danger, though some of the men
who were farthest away from the face
of the tunnel ran back and found
refuge in the side drift. But the
imprisoned gases that had been
accommodating in the old shaft tor
thirty years we're under tremendous
pressure and rushing out, snuffed out
the lives of the three men next to the
opening, as puff of wind snuffs out
a candle. They were struck down as
they stood and made no move to
escape. Even far back in the tunnel
the blast of escaping gas struck men
who we're rushing to the scene as
blow, and warned them of danger.
1t appears to have been one of
those accidents most deplorabIe in
character, but for which no one can
be held responsible. Even the oldest
and most experienced miners had no
thought of the gases in the shaft.
After the accident the company did
all that could be done, paying all
expenses of the buriaIs and securing
the attendance of a priest and min
lister to officiate at the funerals

With all our high wages and boast

you will see more wretchedly poor

are very poor, yet all seem to be we'll

variably cheerful, and what is more
surprising, invariably clean. There
