Answer to "yerifas.o

TO the EditOrOf THE EVENING STAR:
For the first time in my life l see a charge of
dfscourtesy brought against the gentlemen who
ride in the Washington street-cars. / am
woman, and assert boldly that in no city have
i ever seen ladies treated so respectfully so
kindly "a in the cars of this city. We have no
rights To the seats occupied by gentiemen-yet
how chivalrously they yield them to- us.
If the circumstance "VeritaS'' relates had oc
Cured in Philadelphia New York or Boston it
would not be surprising, as it is not the custom
In any of those cities for gentlemen to offer
their seats To ladies. In Washington it is the
universal habit of all gentlemen riding in the
stree tears to give their seats to ladies entering
crowded cars.
II is barely possible that the "seven men" 1o1y
have worked hard in office chairs all day (as
'Neritas' sarcaStically intimateSi. aS that Iuxu-
nous creature known a. government clerk
does not always repOSe during working hours
on '-dOwny beds of ease and it 1quli he possible
700. that they were tired. Ii the car was full
why should two ladies enter. knowing straps
10 be their only salvation? There were other
cars coming. where they might have obtained
nve cents worth OF seat; why not wait for one
OF then@
In conclusion, will say that any lady capa-
pie OF designating seven men trained pigs
because they did not surrender seats for which
theS had paid 10 two hearty. healthy women II
presume neither was hUmTrbackcd or dccTepid)
does not deserve any courtesy from a gentle
man Because gentlemen in this city are so
chlvalrous as TO surrender their seats in crowded
cars 10 ladies Is no reason why any lady should
arroSate TINS courtesy to herself as right.

Eating His Own Flesh.

CANADIAN SEIZED WITH HYDRoPHOBIA
WHILE AT PRAYER-BITTEN FIVE YEARS AGO.
stephen Clark living near Consecon, Ont. was
attacked with hydrophia last week, and be-
came so violent that he had to be taken to Pic
ton jail. He was seized with commissions while
engaged in family prayers, and before neighbors
arrived was raving like mailman, tearing and
eating his own flesh until he presented hide
Gus appearance. When he became rational he
stated that he was bitten by mad dog while
travelling with a circus in Carthage in July,
1850 During the first four hours his fits were
accompanied with barking growing, and imi-
tation of heavy painting. During the intervals
the barking OF a dog would Immediately excite
another fit. After being strapped to d bed by
seven muscular men he got loose and cut his
f.ce badly in attempting to shave. He also
pulled of 4 piece of flesh hanging from wound
on his hand and chewed it. being apparently
pleased with the taste OF his own blood. The
ply sicians think the case one of hypochondrac
