Undress at the Opera.

A iavOrite costume at the opera and
halls is a waist without neck or sleeves,
and In some instances not even shoulder
straps. If you can imagine woman
with no other waist than her cOrsets you
can get good idea Of this new cut. Some
ladies, whose mOdesty Will not allow them

HOW TO KILL ANIMALS.
A Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
in the A battoIrs.

A Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
in the AbattOirs.
The Philadelphia Neurological Society
and the College Of Physicians have taken
up the methods of slaughtering animals
at the West Philadelphia Abattoir at the
request of the Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals, which desired in
formation as to whether there was any
unnecessary cruelty practiced. DIR. Guy
Hinsdale, who presented paper on the
subject to the Neurological Society, found
that the work was often bunglingly done,
and recommended that the killing OF the
animals should be given TO man OF eX-
perIence and power; that the animals
should not be allowed to witness the
slaughter OF their fellows; that means
should be provided for making the DEATH
blow unerring by some mechanical cOntri-
vance, and that the number Of men who
do the work should be small, the general
public being barred. The doctor also re-
ported that the Jewish method of cutting
the throats Is not cruel one when rapid
ly performed, and suggested that the city
should take immediate steDs to supervise
the abattoir. having an official inspector
to detect and condemn diseased meats
The Society appointed the following COM
mttee TO visit the abattOir and report
upon the matter: Drs. A. q. Wood, n
A. Hare, +. y. Dercum, 4. +. Brubsker
and Guy Hinsdale.
DR.. Wood presented the report OF this
committee at the February meeting Of the
College of Physicians. In answer TO one
of the questions by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty TO Animals as to
the amount of physical suffering produced
in cattle by the sight Of death or the smell
of blood, the committe was Of the unani-
mona combination that the onfmala had a
imperfect consciousness Of what was 90
ing on. IL is recommended that the ar
OF the pens be remodeled, so
that the bullock TO be killed shall be isO-
lated in a close, narrow pen, and the kill
ing be performed by one man. The inspec-
ton OF the meat at the abattOir Is also
urged as necessary for public health.

Col. J. r. Randall, writing from Wash
ingtOu, says: "COl. Grabowski is on a
visit here officially. He is having admir-
able success in tutoring the Indians, and
his dusky pupils are sincerely attached
to him. Some OF his anecdotes Of these
people are very touching. He tells OF a
dying girl who probably had never heard
OF Stonewall jackson, and yet her soul
was exhaled by repeating almost identI-
cally the last words OF the hero OF the Lost
Cause. Having been appointed from GeOr-
gia, Col. GrabOwski was anxious oemploy
some Of our young men to assist him pro-
fsssionally, at salaries ranging from $500
to 5000 per annum. Accordingly he wrote
TO the University at Athens, asking the
officers there TO suggest some two or three
students or graduates. The reply was
that none could be thought OIL This sur
prised the Colonel. who then made simi-
lar application to President smith, Of the
Virginia Military Institute. He prompt

SCENE or THE DADE MASSACRE
Something About the 100 Victims Who
sleep Beneath tns Pyramids.

5ANCB DOhV8Nh 0AhAOns
From the 81. Aa04stSae tFgI.j Weeklg.
A few days ago a small party of gentle
men visited the scene of the Dade massa-
ere, which is within a quarter of a mile
of the track Of the Florida Railway and
Navigation Company, on what is known
as its Panasoffkee Branch and about two
miles north OF the station of Catherine,
otherwise called Massacre, the name of
the post office.
Tue scene Of this well-known episode
of the first Seminole war is one possess
ing many natural as well as historical at
fractions. A small lake or pond lies to
the nOrthwestward, ard the old Tampa
trail, along which were marching the I'M
fortunate victims of the massacre, passes
in a direction nearly due south. Giant
pines, with young underground OF
water oaks interspersed among them, rise
gradually all around like grim and state
ly senunels guarding the spot where the
noted sacrifice upon the altar OF patriot
ism occurred.
On this historic spot persisted that heroic
little band Of los men overwhelmed by
force OF 1900 Indians, who, divided into
three separate bodies, completely encom-
passed them. But not all. Two men,
conscious of their impending doom, so
bodies of their comrades that they were
not noticed by the saYages, and later es-
capped in the darkness. After travelling
together for a time prudence suggested
their separation, but only one succeeded
in reaching the military post at Tampa,
from whence the little party had set
forth only day or two before. A
lew days after the horrible occurrence
a detachment of troops was sent TO
bury the victims, who were inferred on
the spot where they fell. Some years later
the remains were taken up and reinterred
in the United States cemetery IN st. Au-
gustine, and monuments COMMUNICATING
the event were erected over their last
resting place. Since then, persons claim
ing that the remains Of the officers of the
commaid mad been overlooked, and never
removed, matte Numerous EXCAVATIONS in
the Vicinity seeking for them, but without
avail, a number OF Interesting relics
have from time 10 time been found and

Chased by a Mad Dog.

From me Lunp6fg (GG.j TadeDsndent.
Last Tuesday evening Mr.. Fred Usher
was coming up the hill about 200 yards
this side OF Grimes mill, and had IN his
nand an ADJ with winch he had been
working at the mill. He heard some one
in the adjacent field yelling very loudly,
but thought IL was a negro fussing with
the mule with which he was
blowing. The negro yelled ''mad
dOg' so Justify that 1t aroused his
attention, and on looking up the road
ahead OF him saw a large dog with glaring
eyes and protruding tongue making at him
atarapid pace. Fred says his drst impulse
was TO run, and following that impulse, ne
wheeled and started for the mill At bis
best speed. 1t was MP and tuck be-
tween him and the dog, for the dog was
rapidly gaining on min, and just as Fred
sprang upon the platform in front of the
mill, the dog was swapping at his heels.
Fred chung to his ADJ through the whole
race, and as the dog made a spring to
gain the platform, he turned, and with a
nervous and desperate sweep, dealt the
dog blow that nearly severed him IN
two. The dogs heart and vital parts
dropped through the wound upon the
ground and be expired in lew moments,
without a whine or grow. Fred says
the dogs tongue was swollen 10 such di
mensiens that he could not shut his
mouth, and thinks it could mol have Bit
ten anything and that it's mouth and eyes
we're filled with sand. He says IL was a
fearful chase, and that neryed with fear
and desperation and heavy adj, he dealt
a blow that would have decapitated an
elephant. The negro who was warning
Fred had just been attacked by the dog,
and had struck at him several times with
sn ak while the dog was furiously snap
ping at him.
