HYDROPHOBII.
The Case OF N bohemian Treated
with Apparent Success.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec. 21.-Jos. Krebla, AN
employe of the Milwaukee Car Shops, was
bitten on the calf Of the right leg by q dog
about 20 days ago, but did not experience
any trouble until last Friday, when the pre-
monitory symptoms of hydrophobia seized
him. He complained OF severe prickling
sensation at the wound and ut points along
his right side to the crown of his head, had
II swelling In the throat, was unable to
swallow and restless to such an extent that
he could not sleep. He was taken to bath
establishment the theory having recently
advanced here that treatment Of
Turkish baths would cure the disease II
begun in time.
Saturday, Krebla passed five hours in the
sweat room with the temperature at 1859
and Sunday passed two hours there. Satur-
day night he obtained six hours of undis-
turbed sleep and rest and Sunday again
slept soundly. The dangerous symptoms
have disappeared and the man expects to
resume his usual work to-day, should thu y
not return. The theory that his disease has
been brought on by imagination is disproved
by the fact that he gave no attention what
ever to the dog bite; is a Bohemian, and
not reading man, and knows nothing
whatever OF the symptoms OF hydrophobia

Although not dog days in the old
meteorological sense these are unhealthy
days for dogs, both in this country and
abroad. London is agitated from centre
to circumference by dogphobia, if we may
be allowed to coin word that is badly
needed, and our American cities, egged
on by the deplorable ravages of rabid
dogs in Newark, N. j., are following suit.
Now comes the terrible story of the havoc
wrought by mad dog in Milwaukee,
with the death of one of his victims and
the expected death Of another. 1t is not
we'll to dwell too much on stories of
hydrophobia, not to get into any panic
over the matter; but the work of destruc-
tion which has been inaugurated in con-
sequence among the thousands of worth
less dogs that infest our cities can hardly
be carried too far. Comparatively few
dwellers in cities have any legitimate use
for dogs and those who have should be
required to use o proper degree of
care to keep their pets from
becoming nuisance or source
of danger to the public. All the
dogs in Wilmington would he poor
equivalent for the loss of one human life
from hydrophobia. If the hydrophobia
scare should result in war of extermina-
ton against dogs found on the streets of
cities and towns it will not be an unmixed
evil but, all the same, people who may
happen to be bitten by these superAuous
ours should not allow themselves to be
frightened into rabies. Cases of imagi-
nary hydrophobia are much more
numerous than those of the real article,
and the bogus disease is almost or quite
as dangerous as the genuine.

PrrTsBURd, Pa, Dec. 19.-Edward

while resisting arrest, was refused a new
trial thismorning and sentencedto be hanged

which he SAID that he had been bounded to
the gallows by men who were determined
to have his life and that the Judge
was acquainted with the methods
used to convict him he would think
differently. Cofrey is n desperate character
and Is credited with knowing more than he
will tell of the murder of Charles Jacoby,
for which crime Frank Small was convicted
on circumstantial evidence and executed
two years ago.

A Washington letter states that several
members Of the cabinet have hit upon a
happy scheme TO circumvent the auto

pared bearing on their faces the name of
their respective departments and fac
Bimils of their signatures. Thus equipped
they turn all autograph books over to
their private secretaries, who apply the
stamps, pass blotter over theimpressiOn

Amongthe curious calculations respect
ing the immensely of vanderbilt's $780,
600, 900 estate, which we find going the
rounds are the following: If this sum
were oil in one-dollar bills, the billsplaced
end to end would extend 2S,674 miles 4;
piled on one another like the leaves of a
book they would reach height of 10
miles; spread out on the ground they
would cover TAG acres. If the amount
was all in standard silver dollars, these
dollars placed in a row would extend
4,672 miles; piled up they would reach a
hight of 1856 miles; laid fiat on the
ground they would cover nearly go acres,
and the weight of this mass of silver
would be 7,160 tons.

iii Siiilotliido. 81
1t is no light task to make
provision for those who come
from now till Christmas when
ever there isn't an actual all
day down-pour of rain. Mere
room is much, to say nothing
of business. The strain OF
these ten days is necessarily
great. 1t is fair to ask your
cooperation in the public inter
est as well as our own.
You are welcome to see the
spectacle, store and goods and
people. Buyer or not, you
are welcome all the same. The
sight is but once a year and
one in the world. Your see
ing itself is part Of the spec
tacle. But, if you please,
submit to be crowded, keep
your patience, and make the
crowd endurable by these
slight deprivations:
Keep to the right wherever
you are.
Do not stop in any aisle.
Get off the main passages. A
passage is quickly blocked.
Avoid the excessively
crowded places by going
around them, unless you wish
to go there.
They are: the handkerchief
quarter; gloves; laces; books;
the little circle around the cen
tire, middle of middle aisle; the
gift-quarter, northwest from
the centre; the central stairway
down to the basement and up
from the basement; the whole
toy-quarter, northeast corner
of basement; Christmas cards,
across the aisle from the res
taurant; the restaurant; con-
fectionery; cars of course.
Apart from these and posi-
bly, other quarters and pas
sages the store is not so very
full. The best lookouts over
the store are from the second
floor on the Market-street
front (rugs and carpets), on
the west front (furniture), and
along the east and west tran
septs furniture, upholstery.
Come in the hours when
the store is clearest. They are:
before ten in the morning
from one to three in the after
noon; and from six to eight
in the evening. There are
those who will thank us for
these suggestions.
But come whenever you
will. The store is open for
pleasure as we'll as for bust
ness. We are satisfied to
contribute our share to the
Christmas Show and take our
share in your all-the-year-
round ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of
the Christmas Show-of the
place you and we together
have partly built, where we
buy and sell with so clear an
understanding, with so much
goodwill and with mutual sat-
isfaction and profit.
Come whenever you will.
The store is open from top to
bottom. There are guides for
strangers who want them.
There are no strangers here.
You are welcome visitors.
No matter if the invitation
reaches some of you after the
Fair. You knew it was going
on we're there to see very.
likely; at any rate you knew
the welcome beforehand. 1t is
worth the printing neverthe-
less to send it.
Remember next Christmas,
and all the year between.
