vACCINAIING
THE CHILDREN
By THE SCORE
Now Point of Honor Among the
School Children To Subject
To 0rdeal-0ver One Hun
} bred In Two Days.

In accordance with his determine
ton to make a vigorous and thorough
attack on the hold that small pox has
obtained upon Bisbee, City Physician
Williams has been paying particular
attention to the public schools for the
past few days. While the law has al
ways required that parents and guard
ians shall have their children vaccip,
ated ii Is a well known fact that the
law has never been enforced.
The method which is being pursue
by DR.. Williams, with the assistance
of the teachers, is rather a diplomatic
than a compulsory one. On Monday
the first visit to the schools for the
purpose OF vaccinating the pupils was
made. Contrary to the general expec
tation. no one was required to submit
to the ordeal but instead volunteers
were called for. Very much to the
satisfaction OF the physician and the
teacher no less than forty volunteered
to bare their arms and undergo the
slight pain that is unavoidable.
The affair was freely discussed on
the play grounds, and it became q gen
eral understanding thaa those who
would not volunteer were lacking IN
the necessary courage. The result
was that when the physician called
yesterday there were no less than
seventy who offered themselves, and
IL these at least sixty were Mexicans
the last ones it was expected to reach
and whom it was most desirious &c
vaccinate.
Another visit viii be made to the
school this afternoon at o'clock, and
there is little doubt that the physician
will have all the volunteers to which
he can attend.

STAGE FRIGHT.
Actors Have Been Known 70 Die From
the MaIady.

Actors Have Been Known TO Die Fren
the Malady.
Perhaps the most terrible malady
which can attack the actor in the
course Of his performance in the Pc
culiar disease known as stage fright.
Through its evil effects strong men and
women have been known to faint.
break down and do many other queer
things, and there are even on record
several cases Of people who have died
through this horrible seizure.
Some years ago a young novice who
was TO appear for the first time ar.
rived at the theater very white and
shaky. Brandy being given him, he
appeared slightly better, but no sooner
had he set his foot on the stage than
he clapped his hand to his heart. with
q low cry, and fell down dead. The
overwhelming sensation induced by
stage fright had attacked his heart
and his theatrical career ended thus
even at its beginning.
Quite as CHASTITY was the case of the
young amateur actress who. strangely
enough, had never experienced stage
fright when playing with her fellow
amateurs, but who was seized with the
attack on making her first professional
appearance. She went through the
scene aided by the prompter, her eyes
glazed, her hands rigid, and when the
exit came it proved her exit from life's
stage as well as the mimic boards. for
she staggered to her dressing room and
fell into comatose state. from which
she never recovered.
Perhaps, however, the most peculiar
instance Of all was that of the veteran
performer who had gone through thirty
years Of stage work without experience
ing this malady. One night, however
he contided to fellow player that a
quite unaccountable nervousness had
suddenly taken hold of him and that he
did not think he could ever act again.
His comrade laughed at the notion
and urged him to go on, as usual. but
his establishment may well be conceiv
ed when the poor old player went on
the stage and, after making several
vain efforts to speak, fell back and ey-
pired. The doctor who made the post
norton examination stated that death
was due TO failure of the hearts action.
evidently induced by the presence OF
an attack of stage fright.-Pearson's

RUSSIAN MINISTRIES
ARE HAVING CONFLICT
Disagree Over Naval Officer
With Evans Fleet.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 21-The
conflict which has arisen between the
Russian ministry of foreign affairs and
the admiralty, regarding the alleged
efforts of Commander Diatchkoff to
secure permission to accompany the
American feet on the voyage to the
Pacific, has aroused much comment
here, over the fact that the officer was
the only one permitted to accompany
the fleet, but chiefly as evidence of
discords prevailing between the two
ministries.
Publication of the correspondence
In the affair is regarded at the foreign
Office as grave indiscretion, tending to
discredit Russia ndiplomacy in the
eyes of the world There are indica-
lions that important persons are back
of the campaign being conducted by
the Novoe Vremya, as only the high
est officials of the two ministries con-
cerned were cognizant of the incident.
