The Semi. Knoxville Sentinel VII NO 52. KNOXVILLE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1894. $1.00 A YEAR TWO- YEARS' OLD TODAY Is The Sentinel's Present Management. PROGRESSIVE AND WIDE AWAKE Has Been Its Record During These Two Years.

CONDEMNATION OF ALL CORRUPTION Ta the Controlling Principle of the Paper. What Has Been Accomplished During the Past Year--A Pledge for the Future. The Sentinel under its present management ie two yeare old today. With out boasting, but simply as a matter of current news of the city, it -is not presumptuous to affirm that The Sentine is no tortoise. Vegetation ma thrive under the pedal extremities of some papers, but The Sentinel prefers gamboling in fields which are "ripe unto barvest" and only need a newswith modern ideas and civilized metbods to help gather the grain.

In many respects the two years, have been notable in the experience The Sentinel, as they have in the growth of this beautiwul city. In The Sentinel's mechanical department an innovation bas been made by putting in the latest 1m proved ty pe-setting machines, which enables The Sentinel to print more ready -set matter in six days of the week than either of the morning papers print in seven days. Thus it is that The Sentinel not only furnishes Its readers every day the usual quota of editorial, telegraphic and local news. but also the best line of miscellaneous reading to be found in any paper in this section of the country. In furnishing material for the paper, The Sentinel has all the advantages of the best telegraphic and special service, and an editorial corps of experienced men to bandle the happenings of the day and present the most readable of all current events to Sentinel readers.

While it is no small matter to make a newspaper, and especially a reliable one, The Sentinel prides, itself upon having the men who know how to do juet that thing. Probably no paper in Knoxville ever 80 thoroughly equipped, from the composition room to the business office, to do the work of A firet-class newspaper, 88 is The Sentinel today The daily of The Sentinel prove this sertion; the subscription boosk show it; the advertising patronage of the paper le eloquent on the subject. In this connection the members of The Sentinel company point with pride to the position of the paper on matters of. local importance. "Reform" has been the watchword of The Sentinel, and it has been an uncompromising and unrelenting foe to those city officials who would intrigue to rob the people, and to such corporations as have tried to clutch the throat of the municipal government.

In these positions The Sentinel has been sustained by the people, and wherever The Sentinel bas exposed corruption in public affairs the people have stood at the paper's side and by their ballots throttled the cunning of conspirators. This has been the work of The this will be Its future polles. It 38 a paper for the boys and girls--a paper for the father and mothera. With a daily publication such as the afternoon Sentinel, and the SemiWeekly editions which are given for the usual subscription price of weekly papers, it is no surprise that The Sentinel 18 the most popular, widely read, and the best circulated paper in East Tennessee. On this sec ond anniversary of the present management The Sentinet doffs its cap to the people of Knoxville and its large list of outside subscribers, and promlees that The Sentinel shall advance along all lines.

of efficiency and stand right front rank in all movemente that contemplate the welfare of this glorious garden spot of East Tennessee. SUPT. RUTH TALKS Deprecates the Attempt to Put the Sentinel in a False Light. The ridiculous attempt to put The Sentinel in the light of attempting to spring a sensation and create a panic concerning vaccination in the schools fe rebounding with full force on those who tried it. And this i8 only another instance of the fact that the truth is mights and will prevail.

The Sentinel was very greatly gratified at the remarke of Superintendent Ruth, of the schools, made this morning various publications concerning the matter. Superintendent Ruth recognized the motive of those who tried to make believe that The Sentinel was trying to create a panic and said: "I never looked at it in that light at all. I saw at once that some one had made a infetake that was all. "I also. knew that your first publication would not create alarm, a8 every parent knew whether or not his child had been vaccinated, and knew that the rules had been strictly enforced.

There has been no alarm felt and the attendance has not dropped off a bit. "I am entiefied that The Sentinel merely printed what it believed to be a piece of rellable information, Just as any other paper might have done. It was a mistake, but you didn't intend It to do berm, and no harm has been done. That's all there is of it." Prof. White's card published yesterday in which he- most positively denied having osed abusive or unkind language toward The Sentinel or Ite reporter, and saying he WaS satisfied The Sentinel intended no inany one, entirely factors to The Sentinel.

IF IT IS SMALLPOX Perry's Old Cell Mate Declares That He Has It Too, As He and Perr "Ede Out' Just Alike Weeks Ago. Says Perry Has Another Disease in Its Mest Aggravated- Form, and Out" This Way Whenever he Got Drunk or Caught Cold. is it smallpox? The question was asked yesterday by Col. Frierson, secretary of the chamber of commerce, and another prominent citizen Today it has been asked by 0 hun dred and maybe a thousand citizene. It is strange that doubt should be be so prevalent in the minds of the people.

But there is no denying the fact that no two men you meet are able to agree as to whether the ne gro Perry has smallpox or another and even more loathsome disease. The Sentinel established the fact this morning that he had the latter in the most aggravated form and be yond question. OUT" IN JAIL. The Sentinel learned today that Perry was al one time during hie con finement in the Knox county jail almost completely covered with sores similar nature to those now seen on him Will Nelson; a negro now confined In the county jail; was Perry's cell mate, and he declares that there was a "breaking out" on Perry's face and body just a few weeks ago, "I ain't 'sput en nobody," he said, if Jim's got emallpox, I is, cause we got de same thing. He broke out all over and I broke out too.

Any body see yer, would swear yer bod smallpox, but tainti "Will Smith, 'nother nigger in hyur hed it jes like we did, and so did Ed Morse. It's a new kind er pox dat lots er Knoxville niggere is got. I'd drink er lot er licker en stay out en ketch er cole, I'd allere brek out all over myself.

There were others in the jail who fered with such gores body at estified to the fact that, Perry sufdifferent times, which would dry up and disappear.

DR. OVERTON'S DIAGNOSIS. While such a statement as the above is important as evidence in case there le doubt as to the nature of Perry's disease, yet, of course, it is hardly to be considered when it conflicts with Dr. Overton's diagnosis, 88 well 88 that of Dr. Hood.

The Sentinel asked for an opinion from several physicians this morning and Dr. Overton was generally en dorsed, each one saying have not seen the case am willing accept Dr. Overton's diagnosis as being entirely correct. He is a tho oughly competent physician and knowe a case of smallpox when he sees it." anon easlest physician matter in stated the that world it to was tell smallpox, as it breaks out in the mouth and is attended with high fever, whereas the other and kindred diseases is not. Dr.

Hood has had long experience with smallpox, and it is generally beHeved that he ought to be able to name Perry's disease if anyone could do so. Those who are willing to accept the physician's diagnos's of the case say it is preposterous to doubt the opinion of professional men who have ex: amined the case and give preference to the opinion of men have not examined Perry who wouldn't know a case of smallpox if they could see one. PERRY CONFESSES That he Caught the smallpox in Virgina Says he Swapped Coats With a Negro Who Had Had the Disease--His Face is to Day. a confession this morning to Dr. Hood Perry, the small pox negro, made that he caught the small-pox in Vir ginia.

"The negro told me," said Dr. Hood to the Sentinel man, "that after. being released from jail be went up 10 Southwest Virginia, somewhere near Glade Springs, I think, and that he swapped clothes with another negro who had had small-pox." "But it is bard to tell when Perry 18 speaking the truth. He tells all sorts of tales, but today is the first time be ever acknowledged having been away frown Knoxville. "He said be knew all the time that be had sinall-pox.

But, no matter whether he knew it or not, we did." Dr. Hood says Perry's face is already "pitted" and that his pox scars will show whether or not he had the disease. He reports the negro's case a8 being still favorable. Dr. Hood also said that he autielpated no spread of the disease, although, he says, about 580 people live within the infected district and might have caught the disease from Perry, but all of these people were vaccinated, and of those examined eince then only two failed to get the effect of the vaccination.

There need be no fear about the pest bouse for a time, at least, for, 88 stated in yesterday's Sentinel. Perry will not be removed from Crippie Creek. WHAT BENHAM SAYS.
