FRENCH FINANCIERs BUSY.
Closely Watching Monetary Situation New York Recovering.

Paris. Oct 22.-The leading French financiers are keenly watching the monetary situation abroad. The po- sition of Paris is fairly good and the prevailing impression is that the Bank of France will not hurt French interests by raising its discount rate. At the same time, while it is regard ed as possible that the Bank of France might make a moderate loan of gold to the Bank of England. to relieve the conditions there. it would. it Is asserted. resist withdrawals of gold for America. Prominent inter- antional bankers expressed the opin- ion to the Associateod Press to-day that the United States would not get much more gold here. as the bank would block such attempts. not by raising the discount rates, but by ex- ercising its option to pay in silver. The banker said that he expressed the view of the French bankers when he voiced the opinion that the United tSates had sufficient funds for the le- gitimate requirements of trade and that there was no reason why Flu rope should help to finance the specu- lative movement in New York.
 Exchange to-day was considerably below the exporting point.

NELSON DAR|BAULT INJURED
Fell From a Trolley Ca on North : Main Street Saturday Evsaing.

Nelson Baribault of 3S4 North Main street is at his nome in se- rious condition. and his case seems to be a most peculiar one. The man met with some kind of an accident, but what kind. it is hard to state. While alighting from car on North Main street Saturday night he either fell or was thrown to the ground by an apoplectic stroke. At any rate he was picked up from the pavement and carried to the office of Dr Galley. The man bled freely from the nose and his head was badly bruised. At first 1t was thought that he was suf- fering from concussion of the brain, but later symptoms showed that Bar ibault may have suffered a stroke. He was in critical condition Satur- day evening and yesterday morning was not much better, but to-day his condition has improved. Barihault Is unable to state what really did happen to him, as the accident is a blank to him.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
My Consolidate lnd MenbsH B
 United In One Council.

Barcelona council. K. of C., held an interesting meeting yesterday af- ternoon and talked over various mat ters pertaining to the welfare of the organization, the questioHwhich will attract widest attention being the advisability of union of the differ ent councils in Waterbury under one name, a subject which will be dis cussed at meeting to be held some time next January when every coun- ell in the city will be given an op- portunity to be heard on the matter. Some of the knights think favorably Of this proposition, but others are very much opposed to 1t and dismiss 1t by stating that If there are coun- cils in Waterbury that don't think 1t pays to do business under their own names all they have to do is to break up housekeeping and drop into the great camp of Old Sheridan, where they will find warm wel- come and comfortable quarters and an assurance that they never will want to change again.
 ne tnlng that VIII SUIT up tno warmcst debate Is which name shall be retained in case 1t shouu be de- cided to consolidate Sheridan, Hen- dricken, Mulcahy or Barcelona. Be- ing the name of town in foreign country one might think that Bar celona would not have many who would care to champion 1t against Mulcahy, Hendricken or Sheridan, but this Is not so and in case the scs- sion planned for yesterday takes place Barcelona will not be without lots of packers
 me discussion yesterday was con- fined principally to the necessity of knights having an abundance of civic pride and thus making themselves more useful citizens and better Cath. olics.

WHITECAPS TEAR UP
RAILS IN TENNESSEE

MEMPHIS, Tenn. March 1O.-The
Vicissitudes Of railroads in the recent
ly opened section OF Mississippi around
Hattiesburg was illustrated by the act
OF Capt. j. J. White, president Of the
Liberty White branch, which runs into
the country described by visitors as
wild and wooily."
Captain White offered substantial re-
word for every person found attemut-
ing to throw a switch or otherwise at
tempting to wreck trains along the line
of travel his road takes. Since the
opening OF traffic on the Liberty road
much trouble has been experienced in
running trains. Rails have been fTe-
Quentiy torn from the tias and open
switches have been left with a view of
discouraging promDters o. the ente.,-
prise.
Commenting on the trouble, CAPTAIN
White says that Whitecappers, who
exist in bOuntiful quantities, objected
20 the coming of railroads because IL
injured the wagon trade and crippled
those with teams who had bsen hauling
logs TO market.
"They regard the railroad as a
menace to their interests" said Cap
tain White but we have come to stay.

ness.

VACCINATION ONLY WAY
OF STOPPING SMALLPOX
DR.. Woodward Says Sulphate of Zinc
Preparation Is No More Preven-
tive Than Water.

Proper vaccination provides the only
known immunity from smallpox. No
other preventive is recommended, and
the medical profession recognizes no
chance treatments"
Or. w. c. Woodward District health
officer, strongly advocating renewed
vaccination as the most effective pre-
ventive of the disease made this state
ment when asked as 70 the efficacy of
remedy consisting OF "one grain OF
sulphate of zinc. one grain of foxglove-
sometimes called digitalis-mixed with
two tablegpoonfuIs of water" asserted
to have been used with highly success
full results by Mother Marie Joseph. q
sister OF charity at the St. Joseph's Or
phan Asylum, in Philadelphia. some
time ago.
Such a treatment, DIT. Woodward
states, would be no more likely to pre-
vent or cure smallpox than so much Po-
tomac water.
THE results obtained by vaccination" 4"
says Dr- Woodward. have demon
strated conclusively that II gives aim ssr
certain immunity. 1 would advise that
every person be vaccinated. not only
once, but several times, until II is de-
termined by physician that no danger
OF Infection exists.
"A vaccination producing 8 sore arm
is an indication that the person was not
properly immunized, and that, had there
been exposure to smallpox. Infection
would have probably resulted on the
other hand, although this may not be
generally understood by the public. when
no sore results and the vaccination does
not take IL shows that the system is
somewhat immuned and infection Is un-
IikeIy.''
