bis profession. He is also badly bitten
on the right hand. Little Eddy Ryan
was only slightly injured, and that through
his clothes He is only four years old, SO his

They sailed on Wednesday last in the
French steamer Canada, and the way they
were dined before leaving renders it likely
that their sufferings may he greater from
sea sickness than they previously experienced
from the dog bites.
+. II it can be demonstrated by their trip
that Dr. Pasteur has truly discovered q
remedy for hydrophobia, then this enthu-
siasm will have resulted in proving one of
the valuable discoveries of this century.
Even among Partisan physicians there is
considerable diversity of opinion as to
whether Pasteur has yet accomplished that
which he claims Henri Rochefort in his
paper LIntransigeant treats Pasteur as the
greatest charlatan Of the age. These harsh
criticisms are. not without their merit, as
they stimulate the great savant to pursue his
Investigations until be proves without doubt
the genuineness OF his discovery.
The scare which this event has given New
ark, may be Judged from the doings Of the
authorities after this affair. Details Of police
men armed with lassoes started out and,
after gaining the confidence Of strange
dogs, threw the lassoss around their
necks and dragged the unhappy animals
strangling to police headquarters. A large
wagon was transformed into a cage
n wheels, and colored man was
,rocured to follow with this Internal ma
thine in the wake Of the lassoing policemen
and take the dogs on board. A policeman
with q big revolver was stationed in the city
stables, and his duty is to pour big bullets
into the unhappy creatures as fast as their
captors drag them in. Twenty dogs were
lassoed yesterday and put to death, and be-
fore long dog in the streets Of Newark will
probably draw crowd.
Among the six dogs which were supposed
to have been bitten by the first mad dog,
and which were kept alive in cages to be
studied, was little black spitz A few
days after their imprisonment DR.. Runge,
the city veterinary surgeon, who has been
carefully watching the Gagged dogs,
noticed that the black spitz acted
queerly. Before noon it showed almost
certain signs of being mad Its
muscles twitched convulsively, it bit ner-
vously and at random at whatever ap.
proached, and refused water. Dr. Herold,
president Of the board of health, watched
the dog with City Veterinary Runge, and
both agreed that it would be rabid in few
hours. The five other dogs who are i'm
prisoned and watched have as yet
shown no signs Of madness The spitz
dog was undoubtedly bitten by the dog
that bit the children, and much relief is felt
at the thought that the little ones are on their
way to Europe, whore everything will be
done to avert the calamity hanging over
them Later the policemen were ordered to
keep a paper box in their hands with piece
OF meat containing strychnins.
