Striking Statistics.

striking Statistics.
Saturdays New YORK Herald European
edition has the following.
The Pasteur Institute has Just pub
lished It's complete statistics regarding
hydrophobia and the results Of Pasteur
treatment during the Ave years which
have elapsed since the method was first
applied to human subjects.
It was on the 9th Of July, 1885, that
little Joseph Meister was brought to
Paris by his heartbroken mother from
his home in Alsace. The boy had been
SO cruelty bitten the day before by mad
dog that he could scarcely walk, and his
life was despsired of. Up to that time
M. Pasteur had never dared to experi-
ment upon man or woman with the
terrible virus which, in an sttenuated
form, had time and a9sin succeeded with
animals. The boy lived and went back
to Alsaoe strong and we'll, and is to-day
as sturdy lad as one could wish to see.
Since then the Pssteur method has gone
round the world, and is every year saving
thousands of lives in both hemispheres.
Between January 1st, 1856, and De-
cember 2lst, 1889, not less than 1913
persons had been bitten by mad dogs
and treRted at the Pasteur institute. OF
tnehe DO Qleu. IN STRIKING contrast TO
this small fraction is the percentage Of
deaths among persons bitten by mad dogs
and not treated by the Pasteur method.
Physicians are unanimous in placing this
percentage at 1890. In other words, OF
1888 persons actually treated 1,265
would but for the great discovery have
died. III. Pasteur can therefore have the
satisfaction of knowing that more than
1900 lives have been saved by his insti-
tute alone during the past Eve years.
II appears, furthermore, that of ell the
departments of France it is that Of the
Seine which is the most subject to hydro
phobia. This is accounted for by the i'm
mense number OF dogs which roam about
Paris and its enyirops. As a remedy for
this state OF thing rigorous measures are
urged and enforced by the police regard
ing stray dogs and dogs known to have
been bitten by mad dogs.
| Another fact demonstrated with the
statistics is that il is not in summer, as is
generally supposed, that hydrophobia Is
most TO be feared, but in tins spring, from
| February to May.

PENINs ULAR PRESS.

A little quarreling now and then is
beneficial. The methods employed by
both the Democratic and Republican par
ties are sometimes open to censuro, and
il censure ia not administered, then the
party goes right along without correcting
blunders and abuses through which they
have fallen or have been drawn into by
undue influence. The purpose of the
press Is to uphold right in every form of
government. The effect Of the appeal OF
the taxpayers to the levy court in the
matter Of reducing the cost Of keeping a
lot of outcasts, has already borne good
fruit, and what is still better, 1t has not
hurt the sheriff one whit. II reforms are
not started in small way, then we can
never hope to accomplish much in the
reform line. You can talk reform till
doomsdsy, but when you act reform, then
you top the nail on the right end
Nerark Ledger.
The elforts of tho Republican papers

ping of Hamilton, Issacs and Owens last
Saturday, and the glee with which they
spread the report that they were all Dem
ocrsts, almost approaches the cne.sided
levy court Investigation in the sublimity
of its righteousness. A more complete
inquiry into the politics of the prisoners
brings forth the statement that Hamilton
aud Owens are both Republicans and
that though Isaacs comes of good and
highly respected Democratic family he is
looked upon as Republican. The DEM
ocrats, however, are too sensible to at.
tempt to make capital out Of such mat
ter, and the question Of politics would
not have been raised If the Republicans
had not bounced upon it with such IN
seemly haste. One Republican paper
went SO far as to say that 'all Democrats
are not horse thieves but all horse thieves
are Democrats. "-SuSSe5 Journal.
A part OF the Republican press, eager
to seizs upon anything to cast odium
upon the Democratic party, has published
a report that the three men recently pun
ished here for horse stealing all belonged
to the Democratic party. While we do
not know that any party is either worse
or better because certain men vote its
ticket, it may be some satisfaction to
know that in this case the report was I'M
founded, the three men ell being Repub-
lioans. From this, however, we are not
going to infer that all Republicans are
horse thieves in the way that members of
that party are trying to defame all Dem
oerats in the matter of the county order
forgery. The crimes in both cases are
those o individuals and can BE- extended

Angry Chicago People Burn n Toll
ssonse TO Avoid the Payment of
TOij.
CHICAGO, May IA mob of angry
citizens gathered around the toll house
at the southern end of the Smell toll road
at midnight, and after removing part OF
the toll keepers household goods burned
the building. As soon as the building
was well on FIRE the mob dispersed and
when the fire department arrived there
was not soul in sight save the toll
keeper, Fred Smith, and his wife, with
one or two of their friends.
The men who made up the mob made
no effort to conceal their identity and
both Smith and his wife recognized many
OF them as residents OF the vicinity.
This road is in8'do the city limits.
Litigation has long been pending for the
abolition Of tolls upon il and those who
travel over it are evidently tired of wait
ing.
The town hall, post.ofios and several
stores were destroyed. 1t is not known
whether the town records are intact. Tie
loss is estimated OF $4,000.
