FO VOL. X. ARP ON VACCINATION _ Biil Down in Florida Where There Is Scare. ; SAYS MANY ARMS WERE BARE. Arp Then Talk* About llow Physicians Have Become Famous for Their Discoveries. Jacksonville, Fla., April 12.?Jacksonville has pot the smallpox scare. It is not a panic, for there has been no deaths, but there are about forty | cases ami the board of health have pot them out of town ami have order eil universal vaccination. A child can't go to school without a sore arm and a certificate from the doctor. My son is a clot tor here and it interests me to note the flocks of children who come and go and to listen to their talk. Mothers or sisters ; come with them to keep their courage tip. Some are timid and some are : brave. Young men come at night and take their turns, and the city will soon he immune. What a wonderful discovery it was?only a hundred years ago Or Jenner dared to proclaim it to the world and It took twenty-five years to make the world believe it. \'ow every child that bares its arm to receive the virus is a living monument to the sagacity of that great and good man. It is pathetic to read how he was hounded and persecuted by the envious and malignant of the modi< al profession. How paticntlv he wait< >l for time and | truth to prove bis theory, and li\ 1 to see it confirmed, ar.d when he died a beautiful monument was erected in Trafalgar square to honor his name ami perpetuate his fame and memory. Our own Hr. Crawford Long is entitled to a similar manorial, not only bv the state, but by tlio nation, for although he did not pro- . tort mankind from a pestilence, he ' did give them immunity from pain under the surgeon's knife. I remember well when the patient had to clinch his teeth and strong men had to hold him while the doctor cut and sawed his limb in two. I remember when it was my part to bold tin- foot and leg that was being severed from a poor sufferer, and when at last the saw had cut. t through the hone and the weight ot ' the limb came down upon me I faint- ! ed aP'\ fell clown upon the lloor with ] the breeding leg. Hut Kvans never groaned. He lived to make me another pair of boots. 1 remember when at college in 1SIG, l had a jaw tooth extracted, and took what was . then called Morion's Lethean, and j didn't know when it was pulled. It took me some time to get over it J and as I was reeling hack to college I met Professor Mc Coy, and in a hi- t iarious manner slapped him on the shoulder and said: "Hello, old Mack" and he thought 1 was drunk and had me before the faculty. My roommate Perrell Cody, was with me and tried to explain, but the professor would | not hear Dim ami we Dart fun next j morning when the truth tame out. Tho professor apologized to me anrt : not long after invited me to supper. | Poor Bill Williams was there?good, loving Bill Williams. He was my classmate anrt I loved him. and mourned for him when lie died. He j hart charge of the blind asylum, at , Macon lor many years. Every now and tlion the hoys drop out. Just i drop out and the procession moves on. 1 read of every one anrt feel sail lint that is all I car. do. A friend in Atlanta ashed me the other day, "why didn't you write something about Eugene Harris, your college mate- and one of tin truest, kindest and best men that ever lived." "Of course, of cours<\" said I. "hut what could I write." lb* was a friend in need, a j friend indeed an aristocrat by birth, j a gentleman in heart and manners.j Post everything by the war except the gentleman thai was born in hint. ! He died poor and was buried by his friends, but lie was a big-hearted j gentleman to the very last. How j hind he was to my wife and little children during the war, when they were fleeing lrom the foul invader, and I was far away. That's all. lie was not a great man in any sense, but he had a great big heart and would have died for a friend. That's all! If I can't find hirn in heaven, t shall he disappointed. My wife says ; he was the best friend she ever had I when she was In the greatest distress. Easter is about over and will soon he forgotten. I brought down some Easter eggs for a little grandson. Ills cousin dyed them for him and he was very curious to know tnore about them, and said to his mother. "Mother. who is this Easter man and where does he live?" "He lives up in heaven," she said, "and his name is Jesus." "Is ho selling eggs up there" he-asked. How these little chaps do perplex us with their questions. Little Mary I^ou has the whooping cough and didn't want to take her medicine. "If you don't take it." said her mother, "you may die." "Well, mamma, if I do dio I will go to heaven, where God is, and ho will give me a pony." T wish the grown up people were as trusting and innocent ns the children. "Suffer little children to come unto rae, for of such ' is the kingdom of heaven'' is one of the sweetest verses in the scriptures. The preachers may quarrel about RT F< the confession of faith and infant salvation, but the mothers don't want any bettor faith than is in that verso, and that one other where David said of his child: "He cannot come to nie but I shall go to him." There is another remark that I will make about mothers. Not one believes that her dead son is lost, no matter how wicked he was. The mother expects to meet him in heaven and if he is not there how can she be happy? God knoweth. We do not. All that a poor mortal can do is to trust Him and do good.?Bill Arp. in Atlanta Constitution. RAMS' HORN BLASTS tHKRE Is no gain without giving. Regret. canuot bring the arrow back to the bow. Blessings will 1?*?? poured in only us you pour them out. There is no profit in religion where there is no loss. - The hireling has his hire but the I Shepherd has the sheep. Influence is immortal. Cheap success is ever t.oo dear. Willingness to be God's slave is the wav to become IIis son Sometimes Clod's storms arc but to drive us into harbor. Every sin commited commits one yet more to the way of sin. Ho who is unwilling to face failure can never secure success. Volt do not need to wear a stony look to be a pillar in the church. The man who revolves around himself will never not anywhere. The telescope of love has the longest range for eelestlal vision. The assets of character are in what you are and not what you have. You can afford to lose the flowers of time for the seed of eternity. Sowing in pain and tears promises the reaping in plenty and triumph. Faithful arts grow from active faith. Yesterday's manna will not meet today's needs. What is morally wrong can never he politically right. Reformers need to remember that new roads are seldem smooth. The shearer makes a poor shepherd. The love of God is the hear of the universe. They who retire with God will never retreat before men There can never he any real resu> rection where there is desecration LABOR WORLD. . Velvet mill workers nt Mystic, Conn., have won their strike. The Brazil soft coal district in Indiana. will be indefinitely tied up by n strike.

Fifty thousand citizens of Indiana are employed in wood industries, and receive annually slf?,oi.(M*OU in wages. Tit" coal workers at Marseilles, France, decided to resume work, and the prolonged strike is tinally at an | end. Five hundred carpenters and painters at Sharon, I'eiin., struck, causing a general suspension of building operat ions. Two hundred and tliirty-two thousand eight hundred and twenty-one women are < n,ployed in English cotton factories; only 147.11-15 men. Four liuiulred coal miners who have j been on strike at RlosHburg, Ala., 011 aeeoiint of a difference regarding the charges for yardage work, have returned to work Over r?."0 union painters and decorators at Cincinnati. Ohio, struck because of the refusal of the Masters' Association to sign the scale de- j niaudiug for an eight-hour day. The refusal of bosses to grant an j Increase of two and one-half cents | per hour and that eight hours should J constitute a day's work has caused a strike of 100 painters and decorators at Auburn, N.

The Philadelphia Record tells a story of a hen with one leg that was In the habit of following its mistress, a kind hearted Irishwoman, wherever she went. The Irishwoman died the other day. and the faithful fowl hopped on one leg alongside the funeral procession two mile6 to the Baptist Church, and dropped dead on th6 church steps. Soruo said it died of a broken heart, otbore thought that the great exertion of hopping ;n far on one leg sad the small amount of food it hud eaten caused the vital exhaustion. At any rate, kindly hands buried it ust outside of tho church fence, bv tho roadside. MIL] OUT MILL, S. (J., WED AMERICAN S barred" a ormsn Mrmv WiM None Cu!| Hom^-Srfii Product.

London.?The Telegraph says that disaster lias overtaken the Devonport flotilla of torpedo boat destroyed since the inauguration of the system of cruises of three weeks. After th< latest of these practice voyages eight boats returned to port, disabled. The most serious ease was that of the Seal, the hack of which was broken. It is feared that she is unfit for j further service. The seven other vessels were variously damaged. Itesides tiiesc there have been fifteen disabled boats of this class recently undergoing repairs at Portsmouth. The trouble Is ascribed to the nil suitability of torpedo boat destroyers, which are necessarily of somewhat tlimsy construction, to knock about in such weather as causes larger vessels to seek shelter.
