Sunday afternoon Dr. Cook thought
best to call in DIR. /. N. Hines. The
two physicians agreed as to what the
slight symptoms pointed to, and left
the patient for home, with the under
standing that DIR. Cook would watch
the case during Sunday night. This he
did, but as the night advanced the boy
grew worse rapidly, the symptoms of
hydrophobia showing themselves plain
ly. BY midnight the little fellow was
in great misery, every now and then 90
ing into convulsions and frothing great
ly from the mouth. He remained in
this condition till Monday morning,
when death came to his relief
The boy is described as having been
an especially bright lad, who was quite
fond of dogs, and was especially so of
the one that did the biting.
After the dog left the premises, he
attacked COW near the railroad track,
biting her badly and soaring her so
much that she jumped over fence, ran
on the track just as train was passing
and was killed.
This done, the dog was seen nc more
for several hours, when it came across
Patrolman Cewan, of the Eighth pre-
cinct, and bit him very severely in the
third finger of his left hand. After this
attack the dog was killed. But now
comes as sad part of the affair as the
death of the boy. The officer was bit
ten within few hours after young Bra
mer was. He suffered considerably
from the wound, bat for some time of
late has been in his usual health. Sun
day, however, he was taken i'll, and
Sunday evening symptoms of hydro
phobia appeared. All of Sunday night
the policeman was very sick, and Mon
day morning increased symptoms of the
dreadful disease were present.
AT one o'clock this morning word
was received from the Eighteenth ward
to the effect that Patrolman Cowan
rested easy during the fore part of the
night. The doctors will not allow any
one to see him. He is given water
through glass tube, and is very weak
fromfever.- Cleveland Leader, Sept. Is.

How Candidate for Governor Of Mis-
souri, Conducts His Canvass

While Colonel Allen was discussing
National finances on the hotel piazza
Colonel Tom Crittenden quietly slid
down off the platform and circulated
among the crowd. He wore a delicate
white-duck suit, blue necktie and pat
ent-leather pumps, and was the cyno-
sure of all female eyes on the premises.
Colonel Tom, with an eye to business,
began ogling the babies.
40, you sweet little darling,n said
Colonel Tom, addressing a fuzzy, pop
eyed child that lolled lazily in its moth
er's arms under one of the trees; chow
old is it, ma amp"
" Four months, sir" said the fond
mother.
"a little girl, ehP' said Colonel Tom.
No, boy" replied the mother.
"Ah, yes, now that l come to look at
it more closely detect the strong man
ly features of boy" the Colonel has
tened to say. Please, may l kiss the
little cherubP'
Colonel Tom shut his eyes and ex-
ploded an osculatory sound on the fuz-
zy face, and the child put up big lip
and threatened to cry.
He is such beautiful child" MUIR
INJURED Colonel Tom, "such eyes, such
head, such an expanse of forehead,
such mouth, such wealth of com
plexion, such sweet, tranquil express
sion."
"La me, you don't really think so,
do youP simpered the flattered mother.
never saw sweeter little cherub,"
said Colonel Tom; "I believe I'll have
to kiss him again"
Having gone through a second oscu-
latory martyrdom, Colonel Tom as
sumed seraphic look-a look calcu-
lated to strike taffy to the most hard
ened feminine heart, and got right
down to business.
"Pm a candidate for Governor"
said he, {" and nothing would give me
greater joy than to feel assured that |
had the support of the father of the
sweet babe. Come, let me hold the lit
tie darling in my arms. l do think he
is just the sweetest little angel l ever
sawr'
The flattered mother gave up the fuz-
zy boy with profuse apologies about its
not being well-dressed, ETC.. hoped it
would not trouble the gentleman, etc.
glad to know he admired it so much,
etc.
The fuzzy baby writhed and squirmed
and grew red in the face, and wrinkled
itself all up, and then lay calm and
composed on Colonel Toms strong
right arm.
'The little preciousr' cried Colonel
Tom. you'll tell his father how
much | thought of his little cherub,
won't you, ma'am? And you'll tell
him Pm candidate for Governor, eh,

The poor woman's face dropped and
big salt tears came into her eyes.
80, sir" she said, "you don't know
what you ask. My poor husband died
two months ago"
There was a far-of look in Colonel
Tom Crittenden's golden-glinted eyes
as he gently but firmly dumped that
fuzzy baby on the bereaved woman's
lap and walked straight back to the
platform and replaced himself on
bench.--St. Louis TEmeS-JournaI.

Platinum in the United States.

Notice was taken some time since of
Mr.. Edison's circular letter Of inquiry
in regard to the possible occurrence OF
platinum in various parts of the coun-
try. Mr.. Edison informs us that, so
far he has received some 5000 replies
Instead of being an extremely rare
metal, as hitherto supposed, platinum
proves to be widely distributed, and to
occur in considerable abundance.
Before Mr.. Edison took the matter in
hand platinum had been found in the
United States in but two or three places
in California and in North Carolina
and in these places it occurred but
sparingly. 1t is now found in Idaho.
Dakota, Washington Territory, Oregon,
Colorado, California, Arizona, New
Mexico, and also in British Columbia.
1t is found where gold occurs, and is
frequent residual of gold mining, es-
pecially placer mining. Mr.. Edison
thinks he can get 5000 pounds a year
from Chinese miners in one locality.
One gravel heap is mentioned from
which a million ounces of platinum are
expected. Hitherto the product of the
entire world would not suffice to sup
ply electric lamps for New York City.
Now Mr.. Edison believes that our gold
mines will supply more than will be re-
quired. The possible uses of this metal
in the arts, however, are so numerous
that there is no danger of an oyersup-
ply.
In addition to platinum Mr.. Edison
finds, among the large number of sam
pies received daily, many other valua.
BILE metals and minerals, so that his re-
searches in this direction are likely to
result in increasing greatly the re-
sources of our country in respect to the
rarer and more costly minerals and
metals.-Scienhfc American.

swindles Upon Farmers.

The Utica Weekly Herald and the
Natertown Dispatch are exposing some
swindlers who have been operating in
Jefferson County in behalf of "Co-
operative Fertilizer Co" These parties
called on one M. o. Robbins, to make
him an agent for the sale of fertilizer
which they claimed to have. Mr.. Rob
bins gave them the following note:
SAcKErT HARBoR. July 22d.
Six months after date l promise TO pav 10
the order of myself One Hundred aud Fifty
Dollars, at the First National Bank at Water
town, for value received.
[slgnedl MO. ROBINS.
1t was explained TO Mr.. X. that the
note was of no value, being made 10
his order, until he signed it, which he
need not do until he found the fer
tilizer perfectly satisfactory. After
more talk of this kind, Mr.. X. was
shown the back of the note, on which
was the following statement, to which
the maker of the note was requested to
put his name. 1t read thus: .
hereby certify that own and am worth
in personal and real estate in the County OF
Jefferson, State OF New York, $1,000 over and
above all indebtedness, and that the within
note is given for goods bought by me Of the
Co-Operative Fertilizer Company, and the
above is In full demands Of every name and
nature between said Company and myself up
to date of this note.
(signedl NJ. o. ROBINS.
When Mr.. Robbins had signed this
mere statement, or "mere matter of
form, you know" contract, his note
was endorsed by himself, and he was
held for the amount. This view oc-
CURED to Mr.. Robbins all too late, but
he started in pursuit, and fortunately
found the swindlers at Utica, whore he
had them arrested. The Herald states
that others have been victimized in the
same manner. Are we wrong in our
caution: Farmers, do not sign your
name to anythingP
The Utica Herald, in reference to
this matter, says it has "no sympathy
with those who become victims to such
swindlers.
cit seems to be useless to warn
farmers to keep out of all transactions
of this kind with strangers. Every
farmer can find well-known and trust
worthy business men in their own town
or in the nearest city, who will provide
them with everything they require at
rates, much cheaper than
any travelling agent can afford to sell
even if he is honest. Sensible people
have lost all sympathy for the gudgeons
who bite at every bait that shrewd men
throw to them. Avarice is generally at
the bottom of such bargains"
While we admit that there is some
truth in the remarks, they are alto
gether too sweeping. We have given
above different view of the matter,
and to the reasons there given, we may
add chronic inability to say "no,"
possessed by many good-natured peo-
pie. While avarice may be the motive
in some cases, we think that unsuspect-
ing good-nature is accountable for
many more. Syracuse, n. Y,
is said to be the headquarters of much
of this kind of swindling. There is said
to be raid on foot from that place into
Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania farmers

Singular Affection of a Cat.

James Mcfarland, residing at Moure-
vile, on the West Jersey Railroad, is
the owner of a cat which few weeks
ago exhibited the following strange
characteristics: She had litter of kit
tens, which died. Immediately after
she manifested a strange affection for a
brood of chickens. Deliberately select
ing one from the brood, she seized it by
the neck, as she would a kitten, and
carried it away to hiding-place, where
she kindly cared for it.. A day or two
afterwards the chicken was found and
returned TO the mother-hen. The cat,
however, took it away again, and hid
1t under pile of boards. There it was
also found and given back to the hen,
but'the cat again captured and took
care of it. By this time the chicken
became attached to the cat, and would
follow her wherever she went. During
the severe storm on Sunday, the oath
of August, the cat several times left her
charge to 90 into the house, but the
chicken would exhibit its indisposition
to be alone so manifestly that the cat
would invariably return and quiet it.
This continued throughout the entire
day, but when evening came the chick
en- fell asleep, and the cat sailed out in
search OF food. After two weeks of
care of the chicken by this cat
it was taken fIom her and placed be-
yond her reach.-PhilGdelphta Press.

stated the population of the country fol
some years past. Probably the Nation
is now growing too modest, rs il former
~ was too much inclined TO Boosting.
But those who have occasion to refer IL
the present population almost invaria-
bly, mention a number which the coun-
try has undoubtedly passed several
years ago. II is customary to speak OF
the population as about 100000 or
$4,000, 600. But the calculations of
Prof. Elliott, of the Census Bureau,
which thus far have been singularly sus-
tanned by facts, give 1888, 900 as the
probable population Jnly 1, 1873, and
1895, 900 as the probable population
july /, 1879. These calculations, based
upon the principle of constant second
differences, give an increase OF about
32 per cent. for the decade now APP
preaching an end. They are strong
" confirmed by the census taken
in fifteen of the States by State
authority 1874 in Michigan;
during 1875 in Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New
Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, and Wisconsin;
and during 1876 in Missouri and Ne
braska. With allowance for the I'M
avoidable incompleteness of every CEN
sus taken by defective State machinery,
it must he granted that the actual in
crease for the whole country to 1875
must have been at least as great as the
increase apparent in the returns from
these States Of the dates named. The
of the fifteen States in 1870
was 14,610,636, and according to the
census taken by the States about the
middle of the decade, it was 5000 ,020,
the gain being 1911 per cent. in about
five years, or at the rate Of 32.2 per cent.
for the decade. 1t is, therefore, prob
able that the estimate of Prof. Elliott,
will be realized in the actual figures
