In fact, in a great many cities and school dis tricts throughout the State sons of the children -are required, -to vbe vac cinated and in but few ef the cities is the vaccination rules enforced, without any. exceptions. In almost all the cities Which en force, the State by resolutions of their Board of Education exceptions are made of children who bring eer- vaccination will probably prove dan- gerous. It Is a dangerous operation, for the reports of the Registrar General of England and Wales show that from' the years 1881 to 1904 there were reported 1,041 deaths as due direetly to vaccination. It Is conceded that these are onlv a smalt proportion of deaths caused by vaccination nd It is the general rule among physicians to state some other cause as the cause of death and this has been aamittea frequently bv nhvsicians.

who state that they do this in order to "save the profession from reproach." Whv should school children of a. State be singled out and subjected to vaccination and all others allowed to go free? There is no jaw on tne statute books of the State which requires anv person to be vaccinated and there Is no law of soy kind which can construed as requiring the vaccination of anyone, except the poor children of the State, children of parents too poor to send them to private schools- an a who are deprived of the privilege ot retting an education In the schools, which they are taxed to main- tain, uniess wey sunmit. to being diseased.

WIERST0 AD CLUB MEN Tells Aoout Uses of Letters in Ad- At the weekly dinner of the Ad-Club at the Hotel Iroquois yesterday Charles L. Wlers, chief correspondent of the Larkln delivered an address on "The Letter As an Advertiser." Mr. Wlers' talk was one of the most interesting the members of the Ad Club have heard at their regular weekly dinners and It was entirely different from any of the subjects the speakers have, before touched upon. The talk was a lengthy one and Mr. Wiers dwelt upon the various styles and characters of letters used in advertising- In his talk the speaker told of the great necessity of having advertising letters not only well written typographically, but that they should so be constructed that, the recipient would be impressed.

An ideal introduction for an advertising letter ws given by Mr. Wlers. He covered his abject very thoroughly and ths address proved of great interest to the advertising men who attended the dinner. He was Introduced by President C. E.

The Real Estate Association ooneid- vMtterdav at the eieu uivir -a Lafayette Hotel the advisibUity of Join- FOR ran Right of Health Department to Require It Disputed and Arguments Presented Against School Board's Making It Compulsory by Champion of Those Children Whose Parents Fear the Results of the Vaccine Needle- Has the Health Department, the School Department or amy other city or State institution the ower 10 say, "Tour children must be vaccinated every-three years or they will be kept Out of the- public schools?" That Is the question wmcn nas oeen raised since the announcement was made fev the Health Departmont that on June 14th, the department will send physicians to every public scnooi in too olty to vaccinate every cnna wao not been so treated within the last three years. It is claimed by ono objector to the Idea of vaccination, as tho first ground for objection to the Health Department, that the State statute says that the -Sohoi Board "may" exclude from the schools all children who have not been vaccinated and that since tho law does pot state that tne School Board must" do it, the rule is not manda Health Department's power Questioned Another point raised by this object or, whose letter is printed- below, is that: the 'law designates the School Board not the Health Department as the board which, shall have the power to make such a rule. Buti' said Dr.

Froncsak, acting Health Commissioner, "the School Department expressly asked us to an nounce that all children who neve not been vaccinated shall submit to it on Juno 14th." third point raised against the an nouncement of the Health Department is that the State law and the city ordinance governing vaccination do not state that children shall be vaccinated every three years. The city ordinance as printed on the certificates issued by the Health De partment says, "No teacher or other person shall be employed In, nor shall any pupils be admitted to any public schools who have not been vaccinated or. who have not had varioloid (small pox). It shall be necessary to produce a certificate from a physician to this effect. The principal of each school shall keep a record of the date of such vaccination and the name of the physician.

'All pupils not vaccinated -applying! for admission, shall be referred to the district physician, who shall vaecinatetheni free of charge." Vaccination Soon a Thing of the Past. Physicians do not admit that vaccination, has in. some cases1 led to the death of the person who was vaccinated. They state, as a rule, that the deaths supposedly the result of vaccination are the result of carelessness, much, the same as carelessness in treatlmg or caring for any other wound may lead to Dlood poisoning and: deaths f. One physician had this to say to the reporter when asked about the above claim of the antl-vacclnationists "Vaccination will soon be a thing of the past, we are living every one ef us in much more sanitary homes aroa offices then ever before in the history of man.

We are practically exempt from the possibilities of i smallpox epidemic." One objector to the idea of vaccl natlng school children has written to THE TIMES as follows on the Idea: "la This Free America?" "The statement In the Buffalo newspapers that the Health Board of the city has decided upon a general vaccination of all school children who have not Been vaccinated within the last five years has caused considerable agitation on the part of parents who are opposed to vaccination and who fear that injury may result from same. It also pops the question, Upon what meat doth this Caesar feed that he has crown The State Vaccination. "There is a State law which required the vaccination of school children wherever the school boards require aamtt. xnis law reaag as ioiiows: "Sec. 310.

Vaccination of school children. No child or person not vaccinated shall be admitted or received into any of the public schools of the State, and the trustees or other officers having the charce. manaa-emant or control snail cause this provision of law to be enforced. They may adopt a resolution excluding such children and persons not vaccinated from such school until vaccinated, and when any such resolution has been adopted, they shall give at least ten days' notice thereof, by posting copies of the same in at least two public and conspicuous places wiimn tne limits or the school government, and shall announce therein that due provision has been made, arte-- If jfing It. for the vaccination- or child or person of suitable age desiring io auena me scnooi, and whose parents or guardians are unable to procure vaccination for them, or who are, by mason oi poverty, exempted from tax-.

However, with a courage unusual in one of his age, he took an apartment in the Star Theater building and gathered there the few spoiled fragments of his former beautiful books, pictures and furniture. His death came suddenly, but peacefully, being caused by the hardening of the arteries of the heart, and blessed, unusual sou! tnat he was, he never knew death. Just as was his wish to stop out from this life into the other for which he was so gloriously prepared.

A circle of close friends gathered at Johnson Wllklns Saturday day afternoon at 8 o'clock, to bid him farewell.
