Some of the Reported Cures by "A
Washington Gladstone"

I'NNAN'
Hearing that wonderful cure of
mad dogs bite had been recently
effected by mad stone" belonging to
Captain jackson of $50 Il street north
west, a Critic reporter called at his
residence this morning to learn the
particulars of the cure, The Captain
was not at home, but one of the
family said: "Yes, few days ago
the small child of a g9ighbor was
bitten by pet dog, and while the
dog did not seem to be mad, the
child insisted on having the stone ap.
piled, and, sure enough, the stone ad-
hered. You know, it Is said that If
there Is no poison in the bite the stone
will not adhere TO the wound.
GLOW is the stone appliedY'
"Wcll, it is placed in some hot water
or boiling milk and allowed to remain
few seconds and then taken out and
applied 1t will stick to the wound for
some time, probably until all the virus
is absorbed, and will tnen drop off. 1t
must then be placed in vessel of tepid
water and the virus or poison can be
seen to rise to the surface of the water
like scum"
The reporter was shown the stone.
II resembles piece of ordinary hard
coal in color and texture, and is about
an inch square in size. There seems
to be minute holes in 1t, rendering 1t
porous. This mad stone" said the
reporters informant, "is an old family
beir.loom. Where il first came from
| don't know, but it was quite large
originally, and the first owner of 1t had
such faith in its efficacy that he cut
II in half and gave piece to each of
his sons. Then by some means it cane
into our family, where it has been for
number of years. Quite long time
ago man was bitten by dog sup.
posed to have been mad. He was
brought 10 us and the stone applied.
The man felt no Ill effects of the bite,
but mule that was bitten by the same
dog went mad.
1--WE have used it frequently in our
family for bee stings and wasp stings,
and it has always taken the poison out
and reduced the swelling 1t can be
used in cases of snake bites, and always
seems to do good. We are perfectly
willing to apply the stone TO any one
who may be bitten, for of course we
wish TO get The good out of the stone"

A HORRIBLE DEATH.

Terrible Fall from the Fourth
story of \ Building.
Charles A. Gregg, carpenter, 2S
years old, came to this city several days
ago from Petersburg, Va, to visit his
brother, who is the elevator boy in the
Evans building, 1920 New York ave-
nue.. About o'clock last night he
went into the building and told his
brother he felt unwell. He started for
the room in which they slept on the
sixth floor, and was stricken with a
hemorrhage when on the fourth floor,
and he requested the telephone opera
tor to summon physician. He pro-
ceeded up the other two flight of steps,
and evidently went to the window to
spit out the blood, when he lost his
balance and fell distance of seventy
five feet, striking on slanting shed
and rolling to the ground lie was in.

LAWS FOR THE DISTRICT.
Local Bills in Congress that the Com
missioners Wish Passed.

Local Bllls IN congress that the COM
missioners Wish Passed.
The Commissioners were very much
gratified to-day TO learn that they yet
had hope of another day in the House
for the consideration of District busi-
ness. They stated that without this
recognition there would be great
many important District bills and
measures passed over this session
without consideration. Commissioner
Webb stated to CRITIC reporter that
he was glad Congress had given them
an increase of ten privates on the Po-
lice Porce, but this was not enough
and not what the Commissioners asked
for.
Commissioner Ludlow said that at
at best there would be great many
District measures that would have to
60 over for want of time to consider
them. Among other things he spoke
of the bill of the Commissioners to
make the streets of the suburban vii
lages-Le Droit Park and others-con-
form TO those of the city. He said
this was thing that would probably
have to be brought about, and the
longer that it is delayed the harder
and more expensive would be the work
of accomplishing it.
"As II is, he said, 'the streets of
these places are not District property
and cannot receive the attention and
improvement they would If the District
owned them. Certain streets in lie
Droit Park were offered to the city re.
Gently, but on account Of their lack of
conformity with the city streets they
were not accepted
He said that If the land to continue
the city streets and avenues through
these villages was donated to the city it
would of course be accepted and the in
creased value of the adjoining property
would more than pay the donors, and he
hoped this would be accomplished at
an early day, as the beauty and sym
metry of the street system demanded it.
