A curious case presented itself at the
Pasteur institute Wednesday in the per-
son of a man who had received n slight
bite on the little finger of his left hand.
The hand and forearm swelled to enor-
nous proportions and caused the man
excruciating pain. The h~ydrophobia
question has been agitated so much late
ly that the man at once concluded that
he was becoming a victim of the dread
malady. Tuesday night, while he and
his wife were peacefully sleeping, he
suddenly awoke and almost bit a piece
out of her neck. This circumstance as
much as anything else put the man in a
distressing state of mind. He deter
mined to apply for admission to the Pas
teur institute.
While waiting in the parlor his mind
suddenly became a blank, his face as
sumed a CHASTITY hue, and the eyes stuck
out in their sockets to much more than
their normal size. He talked wildly,
and could remember nothing that had
happened All at once he came out of
his strange condition and talked natural
ly. He said he remembered losing his
senses, but further than that he knew
nothing. The dog that bit him is a COM
mon cur and is not mad, but the physi-
clans at the institute think that the mat
ter has preyed so forcibly upon the
mans mind that it has temporarily un-
settled him.-New York Tribune.

LONDON, Oct. l3.-The funeral OF Mrs.
Catherine Booth. wife of Gen. Booth,
who was known as the Mother of the
Salvation army" took place to-day, and
was made the occasion of a great demon
stration by that organization. The
weather was exceedingly disagr, cable, a
murky fog enveloping the city, but despite
thus thousands of persons assembled in
the streets to witness the funeral process
sion. The route was from the Thames
embankment, where the army mustered,
to Abney park cemetery, where the re-
mains we're inferred. The route lay
through the densely populated district of
Stoke NeWington. The entire route was
lined with dense crowds, and the windows
OF the houses were thronged. All rail.
ways entering London ran excursion
trains. Tne thrung in the city was aug
mented by an immense number of saliva
tlonists and friends from the provinces.
There was also a large attendance from
foreign countries
The army was attired in uniform wear
ing a white badge Of mourning which was
everywhere conspicuous. The crowd sur
passed in numbers those gathered to
witness the show on lord mayors day.
The demonstration was convincing proof
that the Salvation Army yields a power
ful interest throughout the country. The
remains Of Mrs. Booth we're taken from
the Olympia during the night aud con-
veYed 10 the headquarters of the army on
Queen Victoria street. Here the coffin
was placed on a kind OF gun carriage on
which we're the bonnet and bible OF the
deceased.
When the procession had been formed
the gun carriage was drawn into the pro-
cession in line. The members of the
Booth family took their places and the
procession started from the embankment.
There we're fifteen bands IN line. All
those who took part in the procession
were officers of the army, priYates and
friends not being allowed to march.
Thousands OF persons entered the ceme-
terry to witness the last rites. The gloomi-
ness of the scene was added to by the
dense fog which never lifted during the
proceedings. When the procession en-
tered the cemetery the gun carriage was
drawn beside the open grave, the coffin
removed bv officers of the army and low
cred into the earth. Gen. Booth stood
at the head of the grave and read the
burial service. The officers Of the army
from the various parts of England, the
British colonies. America. the continent
and Asia delivered orations.

A Costly Experience.

BALTIMORE, Ost. I4.-Confdence men
have been very successful of late in work.
ing the farmers OF Maryland. Their latest
victim is John Rhodes OF Talbot county.
He had advertised a farm fer sale. As he
was about starting for Denton to draw
81. 500 from bank to come to Baltimore to
buy goods to set his son up in business at
Halls crossroads, two strangers drove up
behind a spanking team to see the farm.
They were shown over the place, Farmer
Rhodes meanwhile telling them what he
proposed to do at Denton. Alter some
time spent in bargaining they agreed upon
a price for the farm. the money to be paid
IN cash. Thereupon the strangers told
Mr.. Rhodes they. too, were going to Dem
ton and would take him 10 their carriage.
and did 80. MIR. Rhodes drew the 81, 500
from the bank and the three started back.
When nearing Mr.. Rhodes place the
men took out a watch and remarked that
they must be at Cordovia at a certain
hour, and would have to leave Mr..
Rhodes at his gate, to which he agreed.
They then counted out SO. 600 to bind
tie bargain as to the farm and placed it
in a tin box and suggested to Mr.. Rhodes
that be could his 81, 800 in there also as
they were going to leave the box with
him, and he did SO. The strangers then
locked the box. gave it to Mr.. Rhodes
aud drove of. keeping the key and saving
that they would be at his house by 9
O'Clock yesterday morning with the bal
ance of the purchase money, which they
would pay him and have the necessary
papers prepared and delivered.
So far all had apparently been perfectly
open and satisfactory. but during the
night Mr.. Rhodes grew uneasy. and
finally smashed the box open. and found
that there was neither the $1,000 the
strangers had put into it nor the 81, 500 of
his own. but in lieu thereof some paper
and a chip He is consequently minus
81, 500. OF course, the ana have
not been heard OF since. Mr.. Rhodes re-
grets the loss of his money. but as he is a
man of means it will not seriously affect
him.
A trick somewhat similar was attempt
ed. without success, on Lemuel Coursey,
a neighbor of Rhodes, only a short time
ago.

white as snow; it strayed away one sum-
mer day where lambs should never go.
Then Mary sat her down and tears
streamed from her eyes; she never found
the lamb, because she did not advertise.
And Mary had brother John, who kept
village store; he sat down and smoked
his pipe and watched the open door.
And as the people passed along and did
not stop to buy, John still sat down and
smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy
eye. And no the sheriff closed him out,
but still he fingered near, and Mary
came to drop with him sympathetic
tear. "How is it, sister, can you tell
why-other merchants here sell all their
goods and do so we'll AMI thrive from
year toyear?'' Re membering now her
own bad luck, the little maid replies:

SUSPENSION BRIDGES.
How an Edinburgh Professor Illustrated
Their Utility.

How an Edinburgh Professor Illustrated
Their Utility.
For centuries suspension bridges have
been built, sometimes of chains, somo-
times Of ropes, these latter often
made from the bark of trees; although
iron suspensions are of comparatively
recent times. One of the highest en-
gineering authorities of the United
States thus briefly states that "the
economy OF metal in a suspension bridge,
under the average circumstances of its
attainable depth, is from one-fourth to
one-half of that in tubular or Simple
girder-bridge of equal strength and
rlgldity." Tho simple rope bridges in
Peru and in Central Asia arc merely two
ropes hung side by side across some
space sought to be spanned; then kind
of platform is laid on these ropes, and
tho inverted bow or dip is such that
man or beast may cross. The suspen-
sion bridge, as we have it, is composed
OF two or more chains, and from these
chains level platform is hung by sus-
pension rods; the chains are generally
secured to either side of the chasm
crossed by what is known as anchor
age, by r'.ssing over piers. The chains
used to construct these suspension
bridges are wire ropes or chains COM
posed of links. AS already intimated,
the cost Of the suspension bridge is
much less than that of many other kinds
OF large bridges, because Of the amount
OF material required. The late Prof
Jenkin, of the University of Edinburgh,
thus clearly illustrates this: A man
might Cross chasm of 100 feet hanging
to steel wire 0.21 inches in diameter
dipping 10 feet; the weight of the wire
would bo 1915 pounds. A wrought-iron
beam OF rectangular section, three times
as deep as it is broad, would have to be
about 27 inches deep and 9 inches broad
to carry him and it's own weight. 1t
would weigh 81, 500 pounds" Trains do
not as rule cross suspension bridges at
a high rate of speed, and unless other
wise strongly fastened so as to over
come lateral and other oscillation, the
dangers are considerable. Engineers
have, however, 80 thoroughly studied
these and all other matters in conncc-
tion with bridge-building that these
great structures arc now made with a
view of meeting all such strains and
contingencies. Some Of the best-known
suspension bridges in the world have
been the Brooklyn bridge, the bridge
over the Ohio at Cincinnati, the Sus-
pension at Niagara, the chain suspen-
sion at Monai Strait, at Fribourg,
Switzerland, and at Pesth over the Dan.
