A HORRIBLE DEATH.
A Young Lady Tears Herself to Pieces
In u Hydrophobic Paroxysm.

A Malta Bend, No., dispatch tells Of the
frightful death by hydrophobia Of Miss Sadie
Hurt, the young lady who was bitten by mad
dog last Sunday while trying to save little
child. She was prominent young society lady,
and was we'll known throughout central Mis-
souri,. When it became known yesterday that
she evinced symptoms Of the dread disease
her friends locked in from all parts, and the
best medical aid in the state was brought. She
became very violent in her rawlings, and it was
found necessary to bind her fast to the bed to
prevent her from doing herself injury. All
night her struggles and commissions continued,
but in the morning she regained consciousness,
and seemed to be enjoying perfect rest.
She was released from her straps and was
she would recover, when suddenly she sprang
from the bed in paroxysm of madness, and
attacked her attendants in such a ferocious
manner that they fed in terror, locking the I'M
fortunate young lady i'll the room dlone. She
stripped off her clothes and tore them to shreds,
and then scratched and bit the walls. doors and
window castings until she tore off all her finger
nails and broke out her front teeth. Physicians
were hurriedly summoned, and on their arrival
they at once threw blanket over her head,
and thus restrained her while they administered
chloroform. As soon as she was fully under the
influence of the drug she died. Her appear
ance was terrible in the extreme. Her face was
torn and scratched and covered with blood,
while the bloody froth from her mouth SO dis
figured her that her nearest friends could not
have recognized her features. This is the third
fatality from mad dogs in the county during
the past ten days.

Seeding TEMPERANCE WOMEN.
The w. c. T. U. Opponents Of Miss
Willard Organize q New Society.

Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster and the few women who
voted with her against Miss Willard of the
Woman's Christian temperance union met yes
terday at the Palmer house in Chicago to
organize q new woman's temperance society,
based on the ideas of Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, in
opposition to those of Miss Willard. Mrs.
Walker of Minneapolis was called to the chair.
Mrs. Foster thought that about three-fourths
of the members of the Iowa union would follow
her and that large numbers would revolt from
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maine, Chester county,
Pa, having already withdrawn from the
National union. A provisional committee was
appointed to prepare an address to the public
and perfect plans for future action. Mrs.
Foster was elected chairman, but declined on
the grounds that the Iowa union being still
constitutonally auxiliary to the national society
her duties as president at this trying period in
prohibition legislation would fully absorb all
her energies.
At meeting of the executive board of the
W.C.T.U., at which Miss Willard presided, a
bolt of the Iowa delegation was discussed.
Mrs. l.. d. Carhart of Marion, Iowa, who has
been opposed to Mrs. Foster, was installed as
provisional member in place Of the bolter, and
will be in charge until the new election is held.
The board adopted plan of reorganization for
Iowa.
DR.. Mary Weeks Burnett yesterday sued Mrs.
IL. NJ. Barker. one of the leaders of the VIC.
T.U.. for $4,000 for SANDER. Last week the
doctor brought suit against Miss Willard and
two other Of the W.C.TU. for $50, 900, claiming
circular which they had sent out concerning
the management of the National temperance
hospital was false, malicious and libelous and
had injured her professional reputation. This
last suit is practically based on the same charge

"REFORMERSo OF ALL SORTS.
They Are Holding a Convention in Chi
cagO-A Letter from Mrs. Lockwood.

In response to call for q national convention
OF all sorts of political reformers, issued some
time ago, about sixty persons assembled in
Weber music hall, Chicago, yesterday Secre-
tary Alfred Clark of Chicago, after reading a
half dozen letters from more or less prominent
people, came to one from Mrs. Belva Lockwood
OF this city. She could not spare the time to
come, she said, and then she went on to give
her remedy for the social ills of the world. She
was against monopolies, trusts frauds, pro-
tective tariffs and the building of ships of war
to fight imaginary enemies. Incide ntally she
mentioned the saloon as an evil There was no
need of a standing army, either.
Mr.. Buell. of Indiana thought no progress
could be made until it was determined who
were IN the convention, and he therefore moved
that those of different belief be counted. The
motion prevailed and thirty prohibitionists got
up The union labor people were twenty four
strong. Ihere were six greenbackers and two
republicans "All those that belong to no party
please rise. said the chairman Some snic-
kered, but five bobbed up in response They
were for reform and did not think much of any
OF the parties. call for those who favored
equal suffrage for both sexes resulted in every
body standing with the exception of one old
farmer II OH Iowa, who said he was .'agin

Is to establish union and consolidation of the
forces that possess the law making power The
idea seems to be that this object can be secured
by harmonious combination of all beliefs

French Female Figures.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Partisan women pay much more attention to
their figures than English women, as the
slender, tapering waist and full bust of the
French woman as compared with the large
waist and too often fiat bosom of the English
dame sufficiently testify. This tapering effect
is produced largely by the corset the French
corset having frequently two sets of lacers-
one for the waist, SO that it may be compressed
without drawing the shoulder blades and mar
rowing the chest of the wearer. A French
woman, too, in making a street costume will
line the jacket with light flannel and dispense
altogether with the undertakes waist-the
necessary warmth being obtain by the lining
with much less bungling effect about the figure.
An English woman on the contrary. will in
variably have the two jackets or waists regard
less OF the increased stontness it may cause.
