BOARD OF HEALTH GETTING IN READINESS. {A Well Developed Case in the | | | | Country Awakes Vigilence on the Part of the Local Board. A special meeting of the board of health 'was summoned at five o'clock on Monday afternoon to take precau tious regarding a possible outbreak of disense in the city. Danger is felt, owing to the fact that a man named Gallagher, who lives only a couple of miles outside the city limits, is the victim of a well-developed case of small-pox. - The meting was presided | over hy the energtie chairman, John Mcintyre, while there were alsb pre sent : J. R. Donaldson, Capt. Gas kin, W. GO. I. Thomp son, medical health officer. Fee, secre tary Shannon, and Dr. Hodgett, of Toronto, ,who had been sent down by the provineial health department to diagnose the case. The chairman carefully reviewed the facts of the present case. He stated that a city physician had sgn the wan, and had notified the speaker. The latter at once telephoned Johu Simpson, chairman of board of health in Ringston township, who had ap- prized Dr, Fdwards, the township health officer, of the event. The board of health came into the city the next day with Dr. Fodwards, and held a meeting in Mr. Mclntyre's office. De. Edwards said it was only a case -of ehicken-pox, but, acting on the ad vive of Mr. Melntyre, the board de cided to notify Dr. Bryce, Toronto, the proviaeial health officer. In re sponse toa telegrim sent. by Hugh Raukin, Pr. Hodgett came down to inspect the ense. He pronounced it small-pax. Though the city board had no jurisdiction over the case, the chairman thought it so pefilionsly near as to warrant the loeal hoard in taking immediate precautionary mea SUTeS, Dr. Hodgett told the board that he Had examined the patient thoroughly, and said that the disease was, with out doubt, small-pox, but of a mild form. He could not say where the man had contracted the disease, but he had been in contact with people from Brockville, where the d oxisted. The patient had taken about ten days ago, and had not been vaccinated. Dr. Hodgett hail wen Dr. Edwards, and instructed him to quarantine the case, to enforce vaccination and put two constables on duty at the house, one at night and one in the day time. Tue city physician stated that man had called at his office on ml just, and that there was no rach on him then, A week later he called again, and hiz body was liter ally covered with spots. He at once notibed chairman Mcintyre, and hust thet the man home. Dr. Edwards bad claimed it was chicken-pox, and the physician was glad to know his diag nose of the case was correct. Mr. Hodgett stated that he had at tended the Westport cases, and that the patients there had small-pox al! vight. It was a mild form, but Ix coming more virulgnt, As far as the history of the disease could he traced it had been brought from Cuba by the United States soldiers, who dis tributed it over the United States and Canada. The disease was sometimes known* as "Cuban itch." Dr. Hod- gett said howas pleased to learn that the board of health had last vear en forced vaccination in the city, Those who were ill of the disease in Brock ville had not been vaccinated. Mr. McIntyre was anxious to know just how to proceed in case the dis ense should suddenly be discovered in the city. Dr. Hodgett informed him that a tent fifteen by thirty feet would be just the thing. With a small stove inside, it would be very easy to keep the temperature up to dirtv-five degrees, . Tents had heen used at the Soo, Sudbury and other places last winter, and had given splendid satisfaction. The chairman will secure a couple of tents from the militia stores, and will make all ar rangements to provide the necessary equipment at a moment's notice. It being © considerably past o'clock, the board adjourned. Simons, J. sense 1 il the the six The Westminster Choir.

Score 12 to 9--Matches Billed For the Ponies--Lake Ontario Park Field Rough--General Sporting Notes. - The Ponies defeated the Potsdam. N.Y., baseball team at Lake Ontario Park yesterday afternoon in a rather ragged match. The score was twelve 1 nine. Big "Bill" Cheney, who will again be with the Ponies this season, pitched for the visitors, Some rather careless work was done by both teams, Hm particularly by the Ponies, who allowed three runs which should nev- er have been scored. Perhaps the peace proclamation gave 'Chaucer' El liolt's bunch the idea that they must not work too bard. And they didn't, "Chaucer" himself awoke the specta- tors from a lethargy in the seventh innings, by stopping a high ball with his glove which he tossed at it. In the same innings, umpire Sutherland laid himself open to prosecution by the Ontario medical council for be stowing medical attendance upon "Jerry" Hupt, whose lip was split Mrough an accident at first base.
