A Hydrophobia Cure.

Milwaukee dispatch: The theory ad.
vanced here short time since that vigor-
Gus treatment of Turkish baths administered
In the early stages would prove effectual in
cases OF hydrOphObia seems likely to be
verified. Joseph Krebia, an employe of the
car-shop in West Milwaukee, was bitten by
a dog supposed to be mad alb )ut ten DAYS
ago, but did not experience any trouble till
last Friday, when be was seized with what
appeared to be the premonitory symptoms
Of hydrophObia. He complained of severe
prickling sensation at the wound and at
points along his right side to the crown of
his head. He had a swelling in the throat,
was unable TO swallow and was restless to
that extent that he could not sleep. He
was taken to bath establishment Saturday.
passed five hours in the sweat room with
the temperature at 1856, and Sunday passed
two hours there. Saturday night ne OBJ
tained six hours Of undisturoed sleep and
rest and yesterday again slept soundly.
The dangerous symptoms have disappeared
and the man expects to resume his usual
work to-day should they not return. The
theory that his disease was brought on BY
imagination Is disproved BY the fact that he
gave no attention whatever to the dOgbite,
Is Bohemian and Is not reading man and
knows nothing whatever of the symptoms
of hydrophObia.

The Vitality of the German EN-

From the Court journal.

From the Court Journal.
The Emperor William is not only
the oldest officer in the German army
in point of age, but also the Oldest
General in point of service, for his
patent as Major General dates from
March 80, 1918. In 1888 he would.
therefore, celebrate his septennial
jubilee as Prussian General; and, con-
sidering that he joined the army as en-
sign March %, 1907, the S0th anni-
versary of his having entered the act
i've service would occur in March, 1887
al event thus far unique in the an
nails of the Prussian army. With what
zest and freshness he attended the re-
cent maneuv ers at Wurtemberg may
be inferred from the humorous remark
he made to young Wurtemberg
Prince of the Red Uhlsns on some
rainy morning. ''If you and your COM
rades fatter yourselves that one field

account, you are very much mistaken.

or three more for the mere pleasure OF

the day of the presentation OF the
Wurtemberg veterans. Among the
latter was q nonagenarian, wearing
the Iron Cross of 1913, whom his
friends had brought with them in q
wagon TO see the Emperor. When the
latter saw the old warrior making
demonstrations to alight, he called to
him to remain seated, as, being the
older of the two, it was his, the En-
pcror's, place to go to him, which he
did. Pointing at their crosses-the
only two on the field-he added, shak-

Criminal Law Problems .

Judge Mason Of Lincoln, Nebr, received
atelegram from Senator Manderson an.
nouncing that Judge Miller of the United
States supreme court had granted writ of
eFror iD the case of Quin Bohannon. This
wiz operate as stay Of execution and Bo-
haDnon win not be hanged on the 18th of
January next as sentenced. BohannOn's
case Is remarkable one, He was tried for
murder for killing man near Waverly in a
dispute about the spelling of the word ped
der and convicted of manslaurhter. His
counsel obtained new trial, which resulted
u conviction for murder and sentence to
death. Bohannon's counsel then went be
fore the supreme court of the state, and
argued that the second convection was |,
violation OF the constitution, which provides
that no man can twice be placed 10 jeopardy
Of MS lie for the same offence, and that the
sentence on the second trial could not legal
" exceed that on the frst The court held
mat the new trial wiped out all former ones
and TO all intents and purposes, the trial " a.

cAtcs supreme court with the result as
eDove stated. In talking with Attorney
General Leese that Official remarked that, If
VIII OF error was issued, he would move

would be successful as he had carried the
same point In the Zimmerman case. Bohan-
hon Is connned In jail at Nebraska City.

INDIAN WARFARE,
Proposition to Hunt the Apachss With
BIoodhoun6s.

Additional particulars of the fight between
the regular troops and the Apaches in the
vicinity of Silver City, N. NJ. have been re.
ceived. 1t Is now believed In ad iition to the
physician and three privates which were
killed, more than half-dozen citizens met
death at the hands of the savages. Every
body is leaving the country, even the cow
boys and ranchmen, and desolation and de-
population are met everywhere. The large
ranchers are left at the mercy of the lndi-
ans, who are well provided with AMMUNITION
and seem determined to carry the war
through the winter. Several families have
reached Ell PasO from the infected district
and dozens OF women and children have
been sent to other towns for safety. The
troops massacred were a part OF Lieut.
Fountains command and were securing the
territory in which late bloody fight had
taken place. They were shot at by the
savages from behind rocks and were killed
In few moments. Other portions of the
command, which consisted, all told, of
tnirty-hye men, met dead bodies numerous
places, the result of the work of the Indians
several days previous. Gen. Crook is now
known to be In favor of employing blood
hounds as auxiliaries to the army In hunt
ing down the savages, and will communi.
cate with the higher authorities with view
OF securing number of dogs.

tees upon which he had places In the last
congress, but on appropriations and privil.
eyes and elections he was placed at the
foot, going even below the Democrats. II
Is somewhat unusual to place member of
the majority and controlling party below the
minority on committees, particularly as
committee chairmanships in the senate 20
by rule of promotion; that is the senator
holding second place succeeds in the event
Of vacancy In the chairmanship, the third
coming next In order, and so on, clear
through.
| The feeling in the House is strong In favor
of passing the Presidential succession bill as
1t stands, although 1t does not fully cover all
possible emerg, ncies so as to insure the sue
cession to an officer In political harmony
with the party which elected the
president. 1t might happen that vacancies
would occur before the new president has a
chance to select cabinet, in which event
the succession might fall to cabinet officer
of the different political faith, as would have
been the case last spring before Mr.. Bayard
was appointed and confirmed. It is likely,
however, this consideration will not be re-
garded as sufficient weight to hazard or even
delay the passage Of the bill.
The White House evening receptions will
be held from 8 to 10 o'clock. The reception
on New Years day will begin at 10 o'clock
In the morning. The wives of the members
of the cabinet held meeting recently and
decided on uniform method of disposing
Of calls. They will all return their Wednes-
day calls by card and their dinner and 9th
er invitation calls will be made i'm person.
Each lady will leave two of her husbands
cards and one of her own for each house
hold. They will receive on Wednesdays
from to O'Clock and on New Years day
from Q to 5.
Senator Voorhees, Is squoted as of the opin
ion that the Republican senators intend to
make things lively over the nominations CT
Mr. Cleveland, and that the executive ses-
stems will be characterized by an excitement
and animation somewhat unusual of late
years. Senator Sherman, the president of
the senate, says that so far as he knows the
Republican senators will take issue on the
nominations IT the president only ON two
exceptions First: where Republican officials
have been suspended on charges affecting
their personal character or public unftness
which are not justified by the facts, and sec
Ond, where appointments have been made
which are notoriously unfit, and he says that
he knows himself of several cases which
come under this latter head. Not one of the
Maryland appointments, so far made, in
wolves suspension, and only one of those
which goes to the senate is affected by
charges.

His health failing him he retired to an
uncultivated farm of bis fathers on
Staten Island and putting it under culti-

succeeded In paying off the debts of the
company and placing it on q sound
financial basis. He wss thereupon made
president of the road, A few years
afterwards he was made president OF
the New York and Harlem railroad and
subsequently, of the Hudson River Rail-
road. After getting possession of the
New York Central the elder Vanderbilt
consolidated it with the Harlem and
