A Severe ACCIDENT TO CAR HoRsEs.-
About 230 p. IN. yesterday, as car No. 81 was
on its way to Georgetown, the driver drove too
close to the excavation for sewer across Penn
sylvania avenue at Tenth street, before be de-
tached his horses from tho car. The result was
that ono Of the horses was thrown into the
sewer, and the other doth fine bays across the
car rail and tho edge Of the sewer. The one
that fell into the sewer wpS suspended about a
half minute by his harness, when the latter gave
way, and the animal fell to the bottom Of the

severe scratches and bruises but they are not
seriously injured, we believe. The unfortunate

guns, and arg quantities of miscellaneous
vauablos lying around promiscuously. In
addition to these there were hams, es-

AT III o'clock, on Thursday night, the

liar force to the old adage, that "truth is

On the Thursday preceding the prize
fight between Gallagher and Davis, the
old gentleman was thrown into a high
state of excitement at learning that his
only son John had gone to Cleveland with
the avoWed purpose OF attending the fight,
and his excitement was intensified at still
further discovering that John had helped
himself to his Ohe father's) pocket.book,
containing $500. Mr.. W. fumed and
fretted over the conduct of bis son, and
went to bed on Thursday night, with ra.
ging headache, and marked symptoms of
fever. lie was about the place in a more
composed state of mind, on Friday, but
the interview with john, on Monday af-
ternoon, immediate y after the sons re
turn, threw the old gentleman into par
oxysm OF rage and grief, which was rem
dered doubly severe by Johns ms lence,
and his acknowledgment that he had los
$3.50 of the money, in bet on Gallagher
Mr.. WIS frenzied feelings finally got the
better of him, and he telled his son to the
floor with blow of his fist, and immedi-
ately thereafter fell down himself in a
senseless condition. Great excitement in
the family ensued. The mother ran
screaming for assistance, Which was soon
Forthcoming in the persons of several of
the neighbors. Mr.. w. was found in an
apparently lifeless condition, with blood
flowing from his mouth and nose. A
subsequent examination by physician,
led to the announcement by him that Mr..
w. had died from the bursting of blood
vessel. So evidently had the vital spark
fled that no efforts at resusctation were
made; and the remains were prepared for
burial as promptly as possible.

funeral was largely attended, aid every
body remarked the life-like appearance of

A Tape-W Six Hundred Feet in
Length.

We have sometimes read accounts of
tape-worms several feet and sometimes
yards in length, being taken from individ
uals, but if We had ever seen it averred that
one had been taken complete aud entire,
two hundred ya.ds in length, unless we
had received very liberal pay for crediting
it, We should have declined. DR.. Gum
records it as an extraordinary fact that he
had seen one hundred feet 10 length,
and We believe it has not generally been
conceded by medical authorities that the
creature ever reaches a greater length, or
that it is possible to remove such an one
entire and undecomposed. BE that as it
may, we yesterday saw one in the Office OF
Drs. Head and DahIman, of the species
technically known as T@pia Lata, which
is believed to measure fully two hundred
yards in length. Dr. Dahlman Informed
US that he bad measured $50 lengths OF the
table before him (about three feet long
with fully one fourth of the varmint still
in the bottle. 1t looks very much like a
piece of white tape from one sixth to one.
fourth Of an inch in width, narrowest al
the extremlties. 1t was taken from
son of Mr.. Jacob Straub, some sixteen
years of age, living Two or three miles
from town. Drs. Head and Dahlman
were two hours in taking the worm from
him. The boy was very much emacisted
having been wasting away for year OIL
more, but is now doing well. The opera.
ton was performed last Saturday. This
remarkable worm will be subjected to sci
eutitc analysis, aud placed in some medi
cal museum. 1t will be an object o.
great interest and curiosity to the medical
iraerpitY.

THE OLDEST RELIC OF HUMANITY.
The oldest remnant of mortality extant is
the skeleton of one Of the earlier Pharaohs
incased in its original burial robes, and
wonderfully perfect considering its age,
which was deposited about eighteen or
twenty months ago in the British Museum,
and is justly considered the most valuable
of its archaeological treasures. The lid Of
the coffin which contained the royal num-
my was inscribed with the name of its oc-
cupant, Pharaoh Mykerimus, who succeed
ed the heir of the great pyramid about
20 centuries before Christ Ooly think Of
it; the monarch whose crumbling bones
and leathery integuments are now exciting
the wonder of numerous gazers in London,
reigned in Egypt before Abraham was
born, and only about two centuries or SO
after Mizraim the grandson of old father
Noah, and the first of the Pharaohs, had
been gathered to his fathers.

nss- Accordino TO recent stat;st;cs

bas" According to recent statistics, the
total number of Jews in the world is T.,
600, 0O0-3,5 100000 of whom reside in
Europe. In Russia the Jewish population
is 100000; in Austria, S53, 900; in
Prussia, 284, 1000 ; and in Germany, 1872,
600. At Frank fort-on-the-M Main every
eighteenth inhabitant is Jew, and in the
whole of Prussia every seventy-third.
There arc fewer Jews in Saxouy than in
any other part of Germany. In Sweden
and Norway the proportion of Jews to the
rest of inhabitants is about one to 5000
1t is remarkable that in such countries as
Franco, Eog'and and Belgium, where the
Jews are under no disabilities, they are
less humorous than in countries where
they have not yet been placed on an
equality with the members Of ether creeds.

CosT OF WAR.-From 1858 to 1915
England was for more than half the time
sixty seven years--engaged in war.
The war of the Spanish succession cost
over $3O0,000,000 in eleven years the
seven years war cost $3.50, 100000; our
Revolutionary war cost England $780,
O00,0O0 and that of the French Rovolu-
ton 81 $4,000. When at war with
Napoleon, from 1903 to 1916, England
raised by taxes the enormous sum of $3,
Cos, 100000, and by loans the further
sum CT l,940, 000--an average of over
81 1922, O00 per day. It has been said
that for ninoty days previous to the battle
Of Waterloo she spent an average of So
100000 per day. The people of these
countries are still overburdened with
laxes-and the poor people have slim
chance to advance in wealth or position.

INDIAN SUMNER.

Just after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season,
When nature is all agluw--
Aglow with mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness of Spring
Aglow with beauty more tender
Than aught which tair Summer could
bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Then borrows its magical dyes,
And mantles the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The Sun from his cloud-pillowed chamber,
Smiles soft on a vision so gay,
And dreams that his favorite children,
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's luminous mist on the mountains,
A light azure haze in the air,
AS il angels while heavenward soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating there
The breeze is so soft, so caressing,
1t seems mute token of love,
And floats to the heart like blessing
From some happy spirit above.
These days, so serene and so charming,
Awaken dreamy delight
A tremulous, fearful enjoyment,
Like soft strains of music at night;
We know they are fading and fleeing,
That quickly, too quickly they'll end,
And we watch with yearring affection,
As at parting we watch dear friend.
Oh beautiful Indian Summer
Thou iavorite child of the year,
Thou darling, whom Nature enriches
With gifts and adornments so dear
How fain would we WOO thee to linger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like the sweet haunts of M.
ture,
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile.
Not alone to the sad fields of Autumn
Dost thou lost brightness restore,
But thou brngest world-weary spirit
Sweet dreams of its childhood once more
Thy loneliness fills us with memories
Of all that was brightest and best
Thy peace and serenity offer
A fOretaste of heavenly rest
