IEilIInr n Mad Dor,

A largo aud ierocious looking mad dog was
killed in front of Waugh n. T. church,
Capitol hill, Yesterday afternoon by Officer
Barnes. Tho animal was frothing at the
mouth and snnpping its teeth yioiously.
After running around for awhile tho mad
dened creature rushed in among tho people
who were emerging from tho church, aud
created quito panic. Officer Barnes, with
great presence OF mind, did not fire his pistol
at tho dog for fear of striking one of the
people, but rushed in upon the animal and
by powerful blow on the head laid tho
brute low Ho then dragged tho kicking
body across tho street and into vacant lot,
whore he finished the job by putting bullet
into tho mad dogs brain. Tho officers heavy
walnut club was broken in two by the solitary
blow.

THOSE rMnAEMrp MEATS.

Intellectual Attempt TO Discover the Au-
thor OF Il Sensational statement.
A paragraph which appeared in tho Sunday
papers stating that an amateur chemist had
informed Mr.. ID. w. Classic that tho "meats
sold in our markets were doctorod by tho
injection of an embplmng fluid TO preserve
tho meat fresh" has caused something of u
sensation in tho community. Mr.. Classic
was seen yesterday by d REPUBLtcAN reporter
and said:
az was 80 informed by my friend, who
wished mo to SEQ DR.. Townsend, tho health
commissioner, about it. did not call upon
DR.. Townsend but wrote u noto to tho COM
mssloncr3, in which l stated that as IL was
matter that Interested every person in tho
community / thought IL ought to be investi-
gatGd."
'Who is tho amateur chemist referred
to ~
"Ho 81 q physician and graduate Of one of
the medical colleges of the district. He has
had considerable experience in tho ombalm-
ing Of bodies"
"What is his nnme?"
"That do not caro- to tell you until have
seen him"
"As you say that tho statement made by
him interests every person in tho community
and you so informed the commissioners, why
don't you toll mo his name, SO that can see
him aud ask him about the analysis no made
Of the meat2"
"He told mo that he had discovered in the
meat an injection of fluid used in ombalm-
ing, but that he did not wish tho fact to be
mado public because it might injure his
business. / do not care to tell his name un-
til | have seen him."
As Mr.. Glarslc is the only connecting link
between the "amatcur chemist who has
made tho startling discovery, and tho public
who are most interested in it, his refusal to
give tho chemists name put sudden end TO
the investigation. Until tho chemist dis
closes his identity or permits Mr.. Classic to
do SO tho public will not know whether no
examined meat from eyory market, or ono
market, or no market.

The nnrrett Club To-Night.

This popular organization will give one of
its excellent performances tonight at the
National theatcr, and tho occasion promises
70 he one of tho agreeable events Of the season.
More than ordinary interest is centored in
the performance of the club, from the fact
that its membership Is composed of ladies and
gentlemen of the highest social standing, who
have made thorough study of Shakespeare and
other standard dramatic authors and have
always made complete successes of every
thing they have ever undertaken. The pro-
gramme includes the beautiful Shakspeareau
drama, "Tho Merchant of Venice" and the
laughable farce, "Mr. and Mrs. Peter White"
both cast to the full strength of the club. The
occasion is made grand benefit to the Wash
ington Continentals, who will give an exhibit
tion drill during the evening" The box sheet

Charles Reade was a very mcthodical
worker. and neglected no helps. 1t was
his laht to form scrap-books contain
ing whatever strange, new or startling
events or stories appeared in the daily
press, and of these books, which he
called his brains" he had accumu-
lated a formidable number. Believing
as lie did that an author Is entitled t.
apprupriat. matter wherever he finds
il, provided that he adapts it. 1t Is not
remarkable that he should several times
have b, en- charged with plagiarism, nor
that in some of these instances his tie
Tense should have been rather adroit
than satisfactory.
He posse ssed fertility of invention
which ma lie him independent OF eX-
tran eouI assistance, however, and h 5
original work will bear comparison
with the strongest IN En- 5lish fiction
either past or present. He has been
charged with inorlina:e vanity The
truth doubtless IS that he was aware OF
his own al ility, and dill not hypocritic-
allv deprcciate it. That he posse q
IA nlo st sterling character is certain. He
was ever ready to defend the oprresse /,
careless of the odds, and with fire AMI
energy which nothing could restrain.
His hand was always open to a ritiful
! tale, and the many authentic stories OF
his lenevoence show him to have had
knightlv and tender heart.
