The Value Of Pasteur's Process.

Having felt some uncertainty as to the
efficacy of NJ. Pasteur's process for com
batting that fatal disease hydrophobia, I
came here some days ago to study the
question and the evidence on the SPOT.
l hasten to say that all my doubts as to
the validity of this greatest of modern
discoveries have been dispeued, and for
the following reasons: NJ. Grancher, who
has made a very careful ANALYSIS of
the cases treated up to June 16 at the
Rue Vauquein, informed me that of 96
patients bitten by dogs (the disease of
which was certified either by the inocula-
ton of other animals after their death
with the brain or spinal cord proving
fatal, or by the fact that some animal
bitten by the dog had succumbed to
hydrophobia, of these sc cases only one
died subsequently to the curative inocu-
lations. This gives death rate of only
l .O4 per cent. Again, GIL patients had
been bitten by dogs the madness Of
which was certified to by the veterinary
of the commune, and out Of
these there were three deaths, which
gives death rate of only 0.46 per cent.
Taking these two categories together,
he death rate was only 0.75 per cent,
whereas from q very accurate series of
tatistics collected by NJ. Leblanc, vet
rinay practitioner of the city of Paris,
results that, as q rule, IL per cent. of
uch cases may be expected to succumb
. hydrophobia. The value, then, as
/. Grancher says, of the curative process
NJ. Pasteur may be represented as %
mes as great as that of all other treat
tents. [ may add that, with the ex-
option of the prick with the fne-pointed
ljection syringe, patients have no other
lnoyance to complain of, as there are
no symptoms, and 10 punct-
res on 10 successive days are sufficient.
0 me the question is therefore judged,
ID all who are in danger should submit
this little operation. C. r. Drys-

\ GHOST AT THE THROTTLE
A strange Appnrition Seen in Worcester
Workshop.

For some time queer stories have been
told Of unusual proceedings at the Wor-
cester Steel Works at night. Complaints
were made of assaults committed and Of
the general conduct of the men Who in
sisted on going In and out at viii, until
at length, to check those alleged out
breaks, the managers requested police
protection. Patrolman Dealey was de-
tailed to go on duty there after o'clock
at night and remain until early in the
morning.
Michael Gleason, one of the en-
ployees, told Times correspondent 9,
queer yarn about an experience that he
had recently. Re said that one night he
was walking through the mill, which was
well lighted by electricity. When he
passed the boiler house he saw a strange
man standing inside with his hand on On
the throttle of an engine which had not
been fired up. The man looked at
Gleason for a moment. Gleason spoke
to him jokingly and asked him if he was
gong to start up. The strangers coun-
tenance did not change and his ewes
seemed to Jump from their sockets. The
man was unknown to Gleason, who had
worked in the mill long time and knew
everybody. Turning quickly Gleason
an to the other end of the mill, very
much frightened. Large drops Of per-
stood out upon his face, and
he swooned away. Gleason
aid that he was cared for by his COM
'anlon, and when he recovered he told
I'm what he had seen. He described
be mans appearance minutely, even to
the striped jacket which he wore, but
o one knew him. Finally some one
ecalled the fact that it was perfect de-
'rphon OF an engineer who was killed
70 years ago at the very spot where the
range apparition was seen by Gleason.
ANY OF the workmen are firm in the
ehef that it was the ghost Of the dead
lgineer.

i.uclius Lew In France.

The case Of Never, editor of tho
Gaulois, who wounded in duel NJ
Drumont, the author of a book called
La France Juive, in which N. Meve,
was violently attacked, has just come be-
fore the Correctional Tribunal. It will
be remembered that NJ. Meyer twice
caught hold of his adversary's sword,
thus placing the latter at considerable
disadvantage, in tact, virtually disa-na,
ing HIM, and the second time he did so
ran his sword through N. Drumont's
thigh, cutting e vein. The point at
issue IS wi.etle- the accused party acted
thus willfully or invollntarily from an
instinct OF sef-prcscwation. One of N.
plumcnts seconds WAS VI. Alphonse
Daudct, who appeared as q witness. He
eXoncrGted u. boyer from the charge CT
having with premeditation seized his
adversarys sword, but declared what he
did technically constituted foul play.
and, even though unintentional, was
highly Icprchcnsible action, because he
should have retained self-masterv. The
court deferred judgment.-Paris Dis

making 1t better and purer. In some
ways they are more restricted than the
woman who sews for them. The wife of
tcamster, if she have the time, can
take up any remunerative employment,

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Rumors abou
Cabinet changes that begin with the dis
placement OF Mr.. Manning, follow viii
the withdrawal of Mr.. Bayard and emo
with the expulsion of Mr.. Garland, wing
their way into sight here pretty regular
y once week, and have to be about as
often as that c!rcumstantialy denied, in
order to relieve the public of the i'm
preston that the relations Of the present
Cabinet family are to be changed. The
stories about Mr.. Manning are based
upon tie assumption that his health viii
not be sufficiently restored to enable him
to resume his duties in the Treasury De-
partment.
Those about Mr.. Bayard are in nearly
every case inspired by motives of hostili-
8, and have not been allowed to rest for
!: moment since they started, soon after
he fa!ied to make Mr.. William Henry
Huribcrt, the friend OF Mr. C. A. Dana,
Minister to Italy, and General Charles
Gibson, the friend of Mr.. Pulitzer, Min
lister to Austria. The desire to get Mr..
Garland out Of the Cabinet is most zeal
ously expressed by persons who have !
made arguments against the prosecution
of the Bel telephone suit brought by
the government, and who are at the same
time clamoring for the appointment as
his successor Of ex-senator Joseph e.
one of the counsel for the
BEL Telephone Company. This fact
alone would appear to be an obstacle to
Ny. N2Donald,s preferment for a Cabi- |
net position, even if it were not true that {
lc has a large practice in Washington {
which calls him frequently to the de- ]
oartments and to the floor of the House t
,Ed the Senate, !
From a source that entities the asser- I
ions to the fullest belief, it is ascertained /
nat there IS absolutely no foundation t
or any Of the rumors about Cabinet F
IanGes. 1t is certain that Mr.. Bayard .

Entertainments for the Century.

Entertainments for the Century.
Every school district should have
literary society for the long evening.
1t is O. never-falling source of enjoy
ment, and good is sure to come from
it.
Almost every neighborhood has
readers and thinkers who can discuss
clearly and intelligently all topics of
general interest.
Every neighdorhood has ON organ
and singers, and if the music is not
very good and the singing not good
at all, desire may at least be
awakened for something better.
A taste for good reading, good
music, good stories, good singing and
for good in all things has been created
in country lyceums.
Ridiculous things may be said and
done, but very wise man once, wrote
"He who hath not q dram OF folly i'll
his mixture, hath pounds of much
worse matter in his composition.
The amusing things of life play a
most important part in bringing
about general happiness and general
good. Every man and every woman
is better for a hearty laugh once in q
while.
A Literary society for young people,
and particularly young people living
in quiet rural districts, should always
have an element of fun in it; and hap
PLY this element is seldom missing in
such societies.
