OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE.
The Band Tair-Close ofSunsIay School Con
SenttOn-NOtes About Town.
The Citizens band fair now being held
in Company II arn,ory Is drawing near its
close, and as yet without any Of the des'r-
able results anticipated. Every evening
since the opening night visiting band
has been i'm attendance and other attrac-
tions have been provided with the hope OF
drawing our citizens, the musIc-lOvihS
ones especially, to the assistance Of the Gu
tcrprisc, but 80 far without avail. Ihc
members of the organization feel very sore
over the reception which they have receiv-
ed and some of them express themselves
very bitterly on the seeming slight. With
out money the band can do nothing, and it
is with the intention Of replenishing their
treasury and at the saH,c time giving an
equivalent for it that the fiir is being
held. 1t is to bc hoped our citizens will
soon see that they owe something for the
music discourscd by the band and that
they must pay their debts.

Latc this afternoon our reporter had III
interview with Dr. Foreman, who State
that the case is one Of hydrophobia, ant
this diagnosis is confirmed by DIR. Atlc
who also visited tho boy. The boy ha'
frequent spasms to-day and shuddcred Il
the sight of food or water, but remain
quite conscious. The new remedy for hy
drophobia, "Curanc," South America
drug, is being administered to him by il
lection under the skin of the arm, an
since this has been done the boy appear
to be improving. The remedy is vesct;
blc poison, and is only used to counterae
the moro deadly poison of the virus of tn

cure, but of course the chances arc that
will not. DIR. Foreman extends TO tin

patient. Cases of this kind are SO ral
that the profession have but few opportu
mites of studying them.
