A SAD CASE OF HYDRoPHoBIA.
Death of IA Little Girl Nine Weeks After
Receiving Dogs Bite.

Paullna >. Hartman, 3 years old, of No,
4,330 Arnold street, in the town of Lake.
died Saturday night of hydrophobia. She
was bitten by little black and tan dog
on August ,. and the animal was killed
the next day. AS they understood that
the death Of the dog removed all chance
of hydrOphObia attacking the person bit
ten, the parents let the matter drop from
their minds, and with the healing of the
wOunds-tWO severe bites on the right leg
above the ankle-all danger was sup
posed to be at an end. Last Tuesday,
nine weeks after the child had been bitten
she was taken sick, with all the SYMPTOMS
of a bilious attack. The case was easily
recognized, however, as one of HYDRO
phobia. The child would lie on her bed
perfectly conscious, the frOth coming
from her mouth, and would talk ration
ally, even when the fever was burning her
and her mouth was parched. When it
was necessary to give her medicine she
would shrink to the further side of her
bed, her eyes would bulge from her head,
and, throwing up her hands as though
some terrible monster was about to attack
her, She would shiVer and give vent to
means, followed by Il species of barking
She did not become vicious toward those
around her, but would clutch the bed
clothes cOnVulsiyely and sink her finger
nalls INTO her 1lesh and tear great long
strips from her body. At about O'Clock
she revived and the fear of water left her.
At O'Clock she answered the query Of
how She felt, by saying she was ''all
right" and that the pain had gone. Then
she requested that her bed be made and
she would go to sleep. This was done.
and the little sufferer, who had borne SO
much pain with such a brave heart, lay
over on the soft bed, and without word,
or sigh, 0r IA moan, breathed her last
The father of the child avows his inten-
tiOn Of prosecuting the owner of the dog
He says he has positive information that
the dog had been rabid for several DAYS
oreit bit his child, and had been kept
i'll the house, and that on August 4 it was
turned out on the streets,

RREWTON's MALARIA.
Physicians still Denying That 1t Is
Yellow Fever.

MONTGOMERY, ALA. Oct. 11.-Four
new cases Of fever were reported at Brew
ton yesterday, three of the patients dying,
the Mayor of Brewton, a pioneer OF the
place, being one Of them. The disease is
now pronounced yellow fever. Nearly
all the stores and dwellings are closed
and the inhabitants are leaving en- masse.
MOBILE, oct. 1.-THE situation at
Brewton, Ala, has nOtmaterially changed
since the last report. Three new cases of
fever were reported to-day. Eleven cases
are now under treatment and one is in a
critical condition. DR.. Ford, the health
officer, telegraphed for assistance to-day
to Mobile TO the Can't-Get-A -Awav-C Club
and four nurses were sent by train to-
night. Their expenses Will be met by the
club. While the fatal cases are charac-
| teriZed by black vOmit, the physicians
seem more than ever convinced that the
disease is severe type Of hemOrrhagic
malaria. No physician who has been on
the ground and examined the cases has
decided that the disease is yellow fever.
1 The Brewton physicians declare it to be a
/ familiar disease, present nearly every
year, although aggravated this year by
the long continued drought.
JACKSON, Miss, Oct. 1.-THE State
Board of Health received notice to-day

a member of the Naval Board says that
the work is progressing -. pidly and favor
ably upon the Iew steel cruisers, and
that the prospect is that they will be fin
ished in a years time. The Advisory
Board had thought that Congress Infght
be called upon to make appropriations
for an additional ngMber Of cruisers, but
it is not now probable that an appropria-
tl0n Will be asked prior to the second
session Of the FOrty-eighth Congress, or
at least until the cruisers now under con
structiOn shall be completed. The
same member Of the Advisory
Board says that no ships in
any country have ever been subjected to
such severe tests as these. The contrac-
tors for the steel have been Obliged TO
throw away more material than will be
used in the construction, on account Of
the very severe tests which are required

people and the hotel and private boarding
houses can't supply the demand for room,
and many persons are camping out.
Intense excitement was created at the
fair grounds this morning. An innocent
negro boy, who is yender Of apples, was
strolling along peddling his fruit, when
he was accOsted by a youth Of 10, named
Nicholas Davis, who began to take some
apples from the basket. He was request
ed to desist, but demonstrated. On the
impulse of the moment he became in
censed and drawing a knife from his
pocket, plunged it in the negro's side.
The stab is an ugly one and il is feared
that it will prove fatal. Davis was ar
rested and locked up. The citizens here
give him bad character. and say that he
Is dangerous youth. The little negro is
well spoken of by the fair directors as a
peaceablc and inOtfensiYe boy. Davis is a
nephew of the late Congressman Lowe,
who was such Il powerful orator.

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Demoralizing Effect of the Lotteries
Lost AInmeN Orders

Lost Money Orders.
Washington Special 10 Chicdgo Tribune Oct. S.
4 gentleman familiar with the opera
ti0ns of the postal service gives some curl
Gus information as to the demOraliZin@
effect of lotteries upon that service. 1t
appears that a very large percentage Of
mail depredatiOns have been due to their
use by lottery companies. This official
says that without the guarantee of safety
which the registered-letter and money!
order divisions of the postal service give
the lotteries it is doubtful if they could
live. Up 10 the time when the mails
were prohibited 10 the lotteries NJ. A..
Dauphiu was the largest single patron
of these divisions i'm the United States.
At the New Orleans Office the money Or
ders received for him often reached $4,000
a day. and as tlany as 10000 orders have
been paid to him in one week, tWO-thirdS
OF them being for less than 81 each. He
took from the mails also 1000 or more
registered letters per day. Here was
almost absolute safety to the remitter and
receiver. for the postal thief generally
did not take registered letter, and
money orders If stolen are no loss to the
proper owner and no possible good to the
lhlel. some idea of the number of tickets
lost may be gathered from the number of
poStal money orders lost los the company,
for which duplicates have been issued
by the money order division. during one
year. lhe last annual report shows that
22,Ol3 duplicate money orders were
issued in that year, against S.3qI
the year before, being an increase Of
1922. This Increase cannot lac
charged TO the natural increase of
business. because, in spite of the increase
of business i'm 1881 over 1850. there was a
decrease in the number Of duplicates is
sued for lost orders amounting to 2,2lS.
owing To the greater care and efficiency
with which the business was transacted.
Fully One-third of all the ORDERS lost dur
ing the year nave been drawn in favor of
7 VI. 4. Dauphin. VI. y. Dauphm loses
one-third of the orders lost in transacting
the money order business for JO,000.OOO OF
other people. While all the people Of the
+ country except him lose l,200 money or
/ ders a month, he loses GOO. Besides this
a large proportion of duplicates called for
i by other parties are made necessary by
the negligence of payees, remitters, and
lndOrsers. Dauphin's are all lost in tran
SIT or are stolen from the mails.
