A WOMAN FIGHTS A MAD DOG.
A Terrible Encounter With q
Rabid Animal.

Lafayette (Ga.) Messenger.
Thursday white-and-brindle dog,
under the sway of hydrophobia, passed
through Lafayette between 5 and
o'clock a. m. He held his course as far
as Trion, distance of twelve miles,
where he turned back and was killed on
JEFF Harris farm, the Willbanks place,
three miles above Trion, at 1880 a. m.
In his mad raid the dogs that are known
to have been bitten are William Nc
Clatchey's, John Partain's, Mrs. Mi
randa Wilson's, three for Bud Spray
berry, j. B. Campbell's and Fletcher
Halls. The cattle bitten are, possibly.
Robert Hills four head and Frank Lit
ties, Mrs. John Roberts cow, Ben

store Mrs. Pursley shot him, and the

After passing A. j. Sosebee's shop lie

Harris farm. Miss Mary Skates and
Will Harris had quit work and started
to dinner. Will was the first to see him
and gave the alarm. Thinking she
would save herself by fight, he hurried
away. She was afraid to turn from the
dog and began to back Off from him. In
his first attack he snapped her on the
right arm. She jerked back and showed
him off. He then sprang at her tace,
one tooth going in her upper lip. one
near the corner of the mouth,
and two or three in the left
cheek. Then with desperate courage she
SEIZED HIM WITH BOTH HANDS BY THE

And bore him to the earth and held
him between her knees. Klnsey Sims,
who was blowing quarter of a mile off,
when he heard the cries, unhitched his
mules and ran to the rescue. The
handles of three hoes were broken by
him in his effort to dispatch the dog.
This failing, his heud was pounded into
a jelly with rocks. Miss Skates was
promptly taken to DR.. Rudicil and a
maidstone applied with the best results.
She is now doing well and is able to sit

A NEW CIGAR HORROR.
Elegant Wrappers for Cigars Now
Made of Patent Rye Straw Pa

per.
| Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
Among the latest limitations which
have been successfully introduced into
the tobacco trade of this city and other
cities are cigars, the wrappers of which
are made out of a specially
perfumed paper. A gentleman
we'll known in the iron manufac-
turing circles of this vicinity was
the first to inform Commercial Gazette
reporter that smoking material OF this
kind was new in the market. He has
recently returned from visit to Nor
| folk. Va, where he met drummer for
a large tobacco factory OF New YORK
state. This gentleman informed the
Pittsburger that he was then introduce
ing an imitation cigar wrapper winch
was so deciving in its character that ex-
perts could scarcely distinguish 1t from
the genuine.
This preparation was made from rye
straw, and one portion of the process
was to steep the material IN a strong
solution made from TOBACCO stems. The
grain of the straw, together with the
manner in which the material was
dressed, would lead any person to sup
pose that it was a sample OF the lear
used in making wrappers for cigars of
more than ordinary quality. The flavor
of tobacco was also present, owing to
the paper having been immersed in the
solution made from the genuine article.
The gentleman subsequently exam
ined cigars Oh sale in Norfolk, and dis
covered that they were made with these
spatent wrappers. The samples exam
ined were of a extra fine quality. The
drummer stated that the firm which he
represented was making tons of this
material and shipping it to all the lead
ing cities of the country. Paper made
with rye straw is the only kind that
can be successfully used for that pur
pose, as all other kinds OF paper can
easily be detected by the smoker. The
new material is also used for filters in
certain classes of cigars. 1t is very
cheap, and can be sold greatly below
the price paid for genuine leaf.
Mr.. Keenan,. well-knOwn tobacco
salesman of this city, when asked yes
terday if cigars of that Kind were sold
here, replied in the affirmative. He had
seen numerous samples, and that they
were very hard to detect.
Mcssrs. Dallmeyer and JenkinsOn,
both extensive dealers in leaf tobacco,
said that the existence of preparation
of this kind was news to them. They
felt that its success would be short
lived. as the trade would soon discover
the deceit, and then mighty effort
would be made to dive cigars made |
with bogus leaf out of the market.

heard that a bogus cigar of that kind

on has been burned in lamps for many cen

was made till about 100 years ago, or about
17S3, when NJ. Argand, a Swiss who lived at
London, invented the cylindrical wick and
burner, which has since borne his name.
Soon after the glass chimney was introduced
and lighting by oil was fully revolutionized
These two improvements multiplied the light

smoke and bad odors previously inseparable
from the use Of oil lamps. Other improve

the burner instead of above, making the
lamp much more convenient This was a
discovery Of Philippe Girard. Frenohman,
about 1907. Another Frenchman, Carcel,

ply Of oil, but his contrivance was superseded
by the moderator lamp, introduced about
