vANoUIsHED THE viRAGo.

With Euclid a. His Ally, o'connsiI Won
. Brilliant Victory.
In an article on "Old Dublin Streets
Mr.. j. H. Halloran draws an amusing
picture Of a notorious virago named
Moriarty, keeper Of d small shop op-
posite the Fourt Courts. Her spirit
originally high and frequently re-en-
forced by the other variety termed
ardent, and her extraordinary range
Of pi%cturesquely vituperatve language
made her the terror of whomsoever
she denounced and the delight of the
audience that always rapidly assem-
bled. She new me- her match but
once. There have been many versions
Of that meeting, for the victor was no
less a person than Daniel O'Connell,
whose friends laid a wager that he
could reduce her to silence, but they
all appear to be based OF the same mar
rative, published about the middle Of
the last century by Daniel Owen Mad
den.
The encounter opened briskly, with a
taste Of the virago's tongue, promptly
administered upon O'Connell v~enturing
to object to the price she asked for a
walking stick.
"You old diagonal"! rejoined O'Con-
nell amiably. keep a civil tongue
in your headv
Such an epithet, incomprehensible,
but doubtless %derogatory, did not tend
to increase the termagant's civility,
and. although further advised-frst as
a radius" and then as a ''parallelo-
gram"-not to fly into a passion, her
anger steadily increased, rising to a
climax of Infatuated billingsgate, when
O'Connell, refusing to retract what he
had said already. accused her instead
Of keeping a hypotenuse in the house."
"You can't deny the charge" he at
frmed with apparent indignation.

the enraged virago snatched up q
saucepan to hurl at the head of the
perpetrator of such an overwhelming
onslaught of geometrical verbosity. A
bystander DETECTED It's course, and
O'Connell prudently %retreated, but he
had won the wager. With Euclid for
his ally, he had vanquished the virago.

Concealed Weapons.

Once in a college town the rumor
that students we're carrying concealed
weapons reached the ears of the local
police. The chief ut one issued strin-
gent orders that the heinous practice
should be stopped. One day q group
of them passed a policeman, and n
of the students in so doing put his
hand to his hip pocket. Then, as IL

OLD ALARM SYSTEM
Establishes Auxiliary Service
Through Plaza Central in
Case of Breakdown.

Fire Commissioner Adamson has dis
covered one way of propping up the
oity's antiquated fire alarm system. He
announced yesterday that he fss put IN
an emergency telephone system for use
if the present service breaks down.
The emergency station is at ITO to ia
East Fifty-eighth Street. It's wires have
been connected with the Fire Depart
ment lines in Manhattan. SIX wires
lead into Police Headquarters. Through
the Plaza central Office switchboard IL
is possible to connect with all engine
companies.
When a person goes to turn IN an
alarm at a box which is out Of order
ne will frd policeman or fireman
stationed there. The policeman or the
fireman will send in the alarm through
the neares, police box or over public
telephone.
Chief BITES has tested the new sys-
TEN ard says it is as perfect as can be
expected.
Commissioner Adsmson is planning
n new and modern alarm system. There
is pending before the Board OF Esti-
mate a request for an issue Of 1891 900

David A. Sullivan, wrecker Of the

so himself.

Last week it was said that the State
Board Of Parole had considered Sui
ivan's case and might act favorably
upon il. At hat time an announcement
Of the boards decision was expected IN
two weeks.
Sullivan d not say on what he
based his prophecy. On Wednc sday.
however. the Parole Board is scheduled
10 meet in Sing Sing. They have al J.
ready had one hearing on Sullivan 5
case, and il IS probable that his parole
will come up for final settlement. John
b. Riley. Superintendent of Prisons;
ex-Judge Henry j. Mccain, of Albany
and William Townsend, Of Utica, are
the members Of the board.
Two weeks ago and more sullivan
concluded the minimum part OF MS
sentence of four wears and SIX months

decide, as is reported 10 be their lnten-
ton. that the former bankers 10y

discipline and that his conduct merits
it they can Top off nearly two years and
a half from his sentence.
The automobile in which Sullivan,
sometimes accompanied by Thomas j.
I Mccormick, then warden of Sing Sing
used to go on apple-picking and sight
seeing tours, is gathering dust. IT
has not been used since Mccormick
was deposed Warden Osborne has
said that unless somebody removes
il pretty soon he was going to make
out a bill for storage.
Suggestions that he might make a
triumphal exit in the car were said
10 vcX Sullivan. He is still on the
hospital staff, and when one Of the
bookkeepers is sick Sullivan takes his
place The rest Of the time he can
use as he sees fit.
When Sullivan gets out he will have
to face three indictments for further
4 thcfts from bank funds while he was
serving his time in Sing Sing. Should
he be brought to trial, Louise Burk-
hardt. his former secretary, will have
TO be witness against him. She will
be re'xctant witness. She lives at
Sc Cliff Avenue, Ionkers. Since Nc
Cormick left Sing Sing she has not
seen her former employer.

FIGHT ANTI-VACClNATI0N
Doctors Think Jones Bill
Would Aid Spread of Disease.

A strong opposition has developed in
tho medical profession TO the bill IN
troduced in tho Legislature by Senator
Jones to prohibit vaccination except in
cases Of smallpox. Dr. Charles r.
Pabst. Of 1876 Franklin Avenue, Brook
lyn, who led a crusade for the restric-
ton Of bichloride Of mercury sales in
the city, says that such measure
would prohibit the use Of vaccination
as a preventive measure.
The passage Of the bill said DR.
Pabst. would mean that in short
time the majority Of the population in
New York would be unvaccinated. Con-
ditions then would be as they were in
Montreal IN 1885, when. owing 70 the
demands Of the population. vac nation
