ATTACKED BY RABIES.
How q Herd of English Deer Went Wild
With the Malady.

How Herd OF English Deer Went Wild
With the Malady.
The annual report of the Agricultural
Department furnishes history of the
curious outbreak of rabies among the
deer in Richmond Park. The first token
of the evil was the discovery by the
keepers one day toward the end of
September, 1866, Of doe staggering
about in the herd near the entrance gate
at East Sheen. The animal was killed,
but some days later other deer of the
same herd were observed to behave in
"a very erratic manner" as rubbing
their heads violently against the stems
of trees, biting the skin about their
bodies and at times charging at the
other deer. They usually died within
two or three days of being attacked,
some becoming very violent before
death. A scientific examination of the
contents of the stomach led to the dis
covery of pieces of stick and other
things which at ordinary times they
would have refused to eat, but no trace
was found OF any poisonous food. The
outbreak still extending, a diseased
buck and fawn were forwarded to the
Royal veterinary college. The fawn
died four hours after admission, and
with q portion Of the spinal marrow of
this animal rabbits were inoculated by
Prof. Horsley at the Brown Institute,
with results which left no further doubt
of the nature of the complaint, for the
rabbits were attacked with rabies and
died. The buck also died, after becom-
ing SO wild and violent that the per-
sons in charge were unable to enter the
loose box in which he was kept, and
with the marrow of this animal, as we'll
as with that of others, the experiment
was repeated with the same conse-
quences. A dog who was thereapon
inoculated also exhibited the usual
signs of rabies, and died. The next
feature in connection with the outbreak
was the appearance of the disease in
the month Of June In the herd which
had been grazing in the park next to
the infected herd. As soon rs the mis-
chief was detected the whole Of the
animals were driven into small lots.
The deer in this herd suffered in a
larger proportion than the previous
herd, and the disease continued with
more or less virulence until Septem-
ber. by which time 267 animals had sue
cumbed to the disease. Since that date
no further cases have been reported.
The earliest symptoms observed In
most cases Is that OF throwing the
heads back on the shoulders and keep
ing the noses pointed to the sky; the
animals are then seen to make sudden
starts and gall0p away from the rest of
the herd. The first deer attacked was,
as We have already noted, q doe. She
happened to he sucking y fawn, and,
as II IL we'll known that v doe under
the circumstances will attack dog, 1t
is conjectured that she was bitten by
some stray rabid dog that had found
its way into the park.-London Daily

BUSINESS MAxIMS.
Sound Advice for Young Men About to f

Sound Advice for Young Men About to En-
gage in Trade.
Action is really the life of business.
Use every means to hold on to your
home trade.
Great bargains can only be secured
in any market by being on the spot.
Always keep your designs and busi-
ness from the knowledge of others.
1t is easy to sell goods if they are
well suited to your trade and bought
right.
Be courageous; drop your best friend
if he shows lack of honesty and in
tegrity.
Avoid litigation as much as possible,
for lawyers and costs eat up the prin-
cipal.
Have the courage to discharge
debt while you have the money in your
pocket.
The man who borrows money and
then borrows trouble is in sheol sure
enough.
Difficulties, like thieves, often disap-
pear at a glance; therefore, always face
difficulty.
Punctuality in money matters. leads
to prosperity and confidence and the
basis of credit.
The man who minds his own business
and constantly attends to it has all his
time employed.
In buying, study carefully the wants
of your trade, and buy with that end
always in view.
Adhere strictly to your business.
There may be difficulties to overcome,
but you will surmount them.
thousands of merchants fail, not from
the shrinkage Of values, but from
crediting unwisely and too much.
Be polite, prompt, decisive, civil and
obliging TO all your customers and see
that your clerks do likewise.
Have the courage to accept small
profits, and be content; large ones in
vOlve more risk and less certainty of
continuing.
There are two sorts OF people that
gain little by trade, such as buy what
they do not want, and such us sell only
in necessity.
Success secures the appreciation of
the world, for as the wise man says:
'Men will praise thee when thou doest
we'll for thyself."
Study the history OF current events,
make careful comparisons OF the huc-
tuations in price, in demand and in
supply, in order to guide your own
operations by the lessons these facts
impart.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

were scratches. The game opened
auspiciously for st. Paul. After retir-
ing Omaha in one, two, three order in
the first inning they took their turn
at the willow. A punching of
errors on the part of Omaha's infield
enabled three of the visitors to reach
bases ;but they died there, and up to the
ninth inning but one st. Paul man
reached third. That was in the sixth
inning. Anderson went to first on an
error, and Kemmler followed him up
with corker for two bases, but Ander
son couldn't get home on the hit and
was compelled to stay at third. No
body was out, and it began to look as
though st. Paul was going to
break the ice. Murphy then
long hit to left, which Burns gathered
in. Rudolph Kemmler failed to get
back to second before the ball got there
and the opportunity for couple of runs
was lost, Burns and Shannon executing
a neat double play at critical moment.
In the ninth Carroll reached first ON an
error. He started to steal second and
Lovett sent the ball to Shan
non, who muffed it, Carroll keep
ing on to third. The ball in
the meantime was sent to Doran,
who again mutfed 1t, allowing it to go
by him a short distance. Doran,
the umpire claimed, interfered with
Carroll to the extent of preventing him
from reaching home on the muff, and
credited st. Paul with its first and only
run. The field work of both teams was
excellent. Omaha was fortunate in
getting its hit at times when they did
the most good, four out of the six.
Another game will be played tomorrow.

NEW YORK, April 15.-The brewers
and boss brewers were very active to-
day preparing for their warfare, which
begins tomorrow. The men admit that
the breweries will be able to continue
work with nOn-union men, but say that
this will do the bosses no good. as the
boycott placed on pool beer will stagnate
the market SO that shutdown will
have to come before long anyway. 1t
was reported at tO-day's meeting of the
men in Clarendon hall that nineteen
brewers had deserted the pool and
signed the agreement. Names were
suppressed, but it is known that the
Knickerbocker brewery and Bechtel both
have large orders from saloonkeepers
who have decided to quit taking pool
beer. Bechtel has so many orders that
he has chartered four barges to bring
his beer from Staten island to this
city, not being able to get room
enough on the ferry boats. But he
may not have the use of the barges
after all, as at to-day's meeting of the
Central Labor union it was resolved
that all union men take to-day pledge
to abstain from all malt and spirituOus
liquors for two weeks. This will be a
severe blow to the salO0nkeepers. The
argument used in support of the res0-
luton was that the nOn-pOOl brewers
might play into the hands of the pool
brewers and sell beer in non-pool kegs.
The wOrkingmen are all solid in sup
port Of the brewers.
BURIED THE HATCHET.
Typographical Union No. 6, and the
n
which have been bitter enemies, buried
the hatchet at tO-day'S meeting, and
agreed to be friends so long as the
brewers are in trouble. Another evil
dence of unity of interest was that the
abstinence resolution was introduced
by Connolly, of District Assembly K. of
L. No. 49. 1t had been understood that
No. 40 would refuse to support the
brewers. Connolly is Master Workman
Quinn's right-hand man. To make the
matter more significant No. 40 held
meeting later in the day and formally
indOrsed the abstinence scheme. The
Framers' union and Ale and Porter
Brewers union also met and pledged
moral and financial aid to the Brewers
union. The latter and the Beer Drivers
arrangements. The JOurneyman Brew
kopf's park, which was largely attended.
A member of the Painters union said
to-day: "The struggle that begins at
noon tomorrow will be between the
working classes on one side, and not the
brewers alone, but all wOrkmen and
monopolists ON the other. If the men
are beaten they will have only them
selves to blame,as beer is the poor mans
beverage. The rich will not help this
particular monopoly" Another union
man said that the Brewers union had
promise of 100000 from a political
source.
The boss brewers were more quiet
than the workmen in their preparations
to-day, but fully as determined. They
claim to have 2,4O0 non-union men
ready to go to work at noon, and say
the saloonkeepers will all stand by
them from motives of policy.

THERE'S BUT LITTLE HOPE.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, April 15.-Dr. Barker
called on Senator COnkling at 8 p. m.
and remained half an hour. On leav-
ing, he said: 81 am happy to inform
you that Mr.. COnkling is no worse, but
shade better than at this time last
night. He has not been in state of
coma or stupOr, as was reported. He
asked for mint julip this morning and
seemed to enjoy the drink very much"
Two porters had been sent for while
Dr.. Barker was in the house.
When asked if they were needed on
account of violence on Mr.. COnkling's
part, the doctor said: 81 merely called
them in to hold Mr.. Conkling down
should he become violent during the
night, though there are no positive indi-
cations now that he will become eX-
cited" The patients temperature was
at this time 991-5, and his pulse had
fallen to go. DR.. Barker will return at
9:3O in the morning. DR.. Hartley is in
charge meanwhile. Notwithstanding
this hopeful view, the following tele-
gram was sent to-day:
weaker. Chances diminishing. Very little
hope. 5: L. M: BARLOW.
As the day wore on Mr.. COnkling's
nervousness and also twitching of the
muscles became more pronounced. A
state of partial coma was the next de-
velopment reported and then he lost the
power to resist the doctors efforts to
feed him and dress his wound. Shortly
after 80 this afternoon he sank into
sleep which was more state OF StupOr
than sleep. Not for single moment
was he rational this afternoon and his
mind seems filled with recOllectiOns of
great lawsuits and political campaigns in
which he has been leading figure. Even
the physicians, whose whole attitude
is most guarded and circumspect, adj
mitted this afternoon that Mr.. COnk
ling was in state of coma. From 3
o'clock to 8 many callers left their
cards, but no word came from the sick
room other than that Mr.. COnkling was
still sleeping and was still unconscious.
At 1890 p. m. there was no change in
Mr.. COnkling's condition, according to
the reports which reached the street.
An hour before this Edward Stokes
said: "Mr. Conkling is failing rapidly.
There is no chance of his recovery. l
don't think the end is far distant"
Judge Coke came from the house at
11:3O D. M, and said Mr.. Conkling was
then awake and coughing badly. There
were numerous callers tonight, and
several kilograms were received. One
was from German citizens Of Utica
hoping for Mr.. Conkling's recovery.
New YORK, April 16, 2 a. MIR.
