The "BloOdy Shirt

The origin of the expression
bloody shirt is said by a correspon-
dent to be from a Corsican custom,
now nearly obsolete In the days of
the fierce ''vendetta" bloodshed WAS
= common occurrence Before the
burial of a murdered man the ''gridata
was celebrated. ''Gridata, crying
around Let us translate il a wake.
The body Of the murdered was laid
on plank, then his weapons placed
near his hand and his blood stained
shirt hung above his head Around
the rude bier circle of women,
wrapped in their black mantles, rock
ed themselves to and fro, with voci-
| ferrous wailing.
The men, relatives and friends oi

Hydrophobia.

A last weeks despatch from Chica |
go, to the Philadelphia Record, says {:
\ bite from a pet dog caused the
death of Mrs. John S. Martin, whose
funeral took place this noon. The
family, consisting of Mr.. Martin, his
wife, who was % years old, and two
children, lived in n neat house on
Fillmore street near Albany avenue,
A homeless eur, n neighbor's dog and
setter belonging to Mr.. Martin got
into fight some eight weeks ago,
and all three dogs were bitten.
None of the neighbors thought any
thing of the dog fight, certainly the
Martin family did not. Mrs. Martin,
some days later, was greatly con-
cerned when she observed the pet
setter was acting as If troubled with
some distress.
Each day the dog became more
irritable. A neighbor woman, to
whom the condition of the pet setter
was unknown, advised that Mrs
Martin bathe the dogs head in water,
adding that the Inflammation would
be reduced Ny that means. Mrs.
Martin undertook to follow out the
directions given. While holding the
dog in her lap he bit her. The wound
was IN the hand, and Mrs. Martin
promptly had it cauterized, and very
deeply, too. She experienced no
E particular discomfort, as the wound
was a slight one, and it quickly heal
ed. Her general health bad always
H.. i i l.
to get better she was much surpris-
ed to understand why, for apparently
no reason at all, her arm began to
experience a strange feeling and a
nervous irritabiity changed her
disposition entirely.
These attacks were at irregular
intervals, and as time elapsed their
violence increased 1t was decided
finally to call DIR. r. y. Foster, and
early last week he saw his patient for
+. the first time. One look st her and
: the physician guessed the real trouble.
DIR. Foster directed that a glass of
water be given to the sick woman.
At sight of the water Mrs. Martin
4 was attacked with spasms. That
e convinced the physician the case was
e hydrophobia, and he prepared to
treat 1T so as to reduce the suffering
5 of the patient to the minimum
z Injections of whisky, hydrate OF
/ chlorai and stramonium were hypoder

t at times it failed to wholly quiet her
n DIR. Foster called in for consulta
r ton Doctors Knowles and Wash
e bourne. They indorsed the treat
g ment he prescribed, and suggested
y that a skilled watch be kept on Mrs
2 Martin during her illness. Two
S young physicians were secured fol
b the purpose, and one of them wa
always by her side. Toward tn,

Stricken by Diphtheria.

! PITTsBURGH, Pa, July 2S.-A
heavily afflicted family is that of Mr.
Plant, a quarryman of New Castle
Pa. His family consisted of eleven
souls-nine children, his wife and
self. His oldest daughter was
stricken by diphtheria about two
weeks ago, and in four days there
after four more of the children were
reported its victims, and each day
added another to the list. Each
night the unfortunate man returned
from his toll was to only witness the
departure of another life that he had
watched from birth.
At last Mrs. Plant became weak
and exhausted Three children were.
living upon one bed and the middle
one dead. The poor mother had not
sufficient strength left to remove her
dead offspring, and continued TO use
what little strength she had left to
keep the others alive until her hus-
band arrived Thus far five children
of this family have died, while four
and the mother are still suffering
The bereaved father last night made
an error which gives promise of be-
ing the cause of his wife's death
Nature was CRYING loudly for needed
rest and Mrs. Plant being somewhat
the almost exhausted
nan dozed off and partially awakened
about the time to give his wife her
medicine and misstOok n bottle of
odine for the latter and Gave her two
teaspoonsful of that drug, which
threw her into commissions, in which
she has been since suffering, with
her death momentarily expected.
The father in consequence is dis
tracted and his family is almost n
total wreck. The city has employed
two nurses and are extending every
aid calculated to help the bereaved
family.

Summer Trips on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.

People who are so fortunate as to live
on or near the line of the Pennsylvania
Railroad enjoy rare privileges in their
facilities for making short and pleasant

mer resorts in the land. Its extended

First among the mountain refugees is
Cresson Springs, with its grand hotel, the
Mountain House, its celebrated waters, fine
climate. and romantic surroundings. The
highlands are represented by Luray, with
its wonderful caverns and hardly less
famous Luray Inn, and the Natural Bridge,
second only to the Giants Csuseway in
point of prominence as a natural wonder.
In seashore territory the Pennsylva MIA
lines are unusually rich. That territory is
bounded only by the confines OF the Jersey
coast, which from Sandy Hook to Cape May
is one unbroken series of smiling summer
cities.
The supper coast''i offers Long Branch,
the gay capital of fashion, with its immense
hotels, pcincely villas, grand boulevards,
and its great race course; Hollywood, q

4 popnisr irlniezs-on has existed
for a humber of wears to the effect
that during warm weather germs or
microbes of contagious diseases have
been carried by fiIes and mosquitoes,
thus assisting in the spread of those
diseases. This impression has gone
abroad in spite OF the fact that medi-
cal science has never established its
truth The subject was brought to
the attention of DIR. Ford, President
of the Board of Health, yesterday,
and alse DIR. William NJ. Welch,
physician in charge of the Municipal
Hospital.
such a thing is possible, said
DR. Ford, '.but it has never been
verified by practical experiment 1t
is known that such things AS living
germs of diseases do exist, for they
have been discovered in cases of fever,
but never in smallpox They are
such an infinitessimsl thing that, il
they do exist-and there is no reason
why they should not-they have
never been seen, and possibly never
will be. If there is such thing as &
small pox germ it is not impossible
or impr 1bable that flies would carry
it L suppose that If a fly alightec
on a maturated sore on n small -po,
patient it would carry particles o
the disease excrescence to anothel
person under favoring circumstance
and inoculate that person with tn,
disease, Just as vaccine is conveyed
from one person to another.
DIR. Welsh said that the theor,
was very farfetched one, and tina
it was simply thought-an idea
that had occurred to some specialist
and thus gained notoriety.-Phila
