With Their Show

lust as many as could safely be per-
mitted saw the full rehearsal of the Elks'
minstrel show last night. II was more
than worth seeing. II was a menace to
every button on the clothes OF the spec
tators. The rehearsal was pulled off in
the auditorium OF the Elks club with
brilliancy that promises something mem-
orable next Tuesday night. when the
general public Will be given its oppor-
tunity at the Dohany theater. The local
hits are immense and there Is not a man
in town whose name IL worth headline
who will be permitted TO escape. Mayor
Aaloney was IN the crowd suffering from
conyulsions with the others and heard
his name taken In vain many times Pat
Mcbride and George Hughes. whose busl-
ness engagements prevented them being
taken into the class OF funmakers, were
the only two sad men IN the crowd last
night. They were grleving over missing
the opportunity OF their lives. Another
fun rehearsal will be held tonight and
tomorrow afternoon the show win be
staged with fun dress effects in the
theRtsr, followed by two others Monday
afternoon and evening.

PHYSICIANS REPORTING C0NTA-
GIOUS DISEASE.

The recent filming OF a Rutland county
physician for failure to report case Of
diphtheria which came under his personal
observation is rather severe notification
that the state has taken ground for the
defense of the public health and that it
intends to exercise the prerogatives en-
acted recently. The section Of the law,
under which the prosecution was
brought, declares that a physician who
knows or suspects that a person whom
he has been called to attend is sick or
has died OF a communicable disease
dangerous to the public health, shall inn
mediately quarantine and report to the
health officer the place where such case
exists, etc" II we are to prevent the
spread Of epidemics, it is manifestly
necessary that the greatest degree of
publicity should be given to the location
of the disease, disagreeable as the pub
lieity may be for the families directly

concerned. Here is one case where per-
sonal feelings should be subdrdinated en-
tirely to the matter Of the public good.
In many instances reports of violation
Of this section Of the statutes have come
to notice, showing that there is not
full sympathy with the requirement.
Failure to report contagious diseases
cannot be laid to ignorance Of the law
on the part Of the physicians, but it may
be laid to carelessness on their part in
carrying out the provisions Of that law.
For such careless physicians, the recent
Rutland county prosecution should prove
of value, while to those who disagree
as to the necessity for the requirement
it should also indicate that the law of
the majority rules.
