elusive.

IL may be laid down In tho very be-
ginning OF our consideration OF tho
subject that the victim OF false hydro
phobia can only have those symphonic
OF which he has knowledge. tInfor-
tunately tho real disease has received
SO much notice from newspapers and
other popular publications that toll
erably correct knowledge OF its phe-
nomena has been acquired by ths
laity. Hence, we find that the picture
ordinarily presented by the uncon-
scious slmulator Is, at least 10 cursory
observation, not unlike the real affec-
ton. There are. however. great diff
ferences which the educated physician
will not fail 10 detect and which will
enable him 10 do what has never been
yet done with real hydrophobia cure
the patient.
Hydrophobia never originates, in
the human subject at least. except by
incubation from u rabid animal. and
death always occurs in four or five
days after the development OF the dis
ease. A case OF so-called hydropho-
bia came under my notice, in which II
was stated that the patient had been
bitten some three months previous by
Il dog undoubtedly hydrophobic. in
quired as to what had become OF the
dog, and was informed that he was
still living, having recovered. 1t was
not necessary to examine any further
into the particulars OF the case. for II
the dog had really been the subject OF
hydrophobia, he would have been
dead very shortly after biting my pa
tent
Again 1t often happens that person
easily affected by suggestions has what
he conceives tc be the symptoms OF
hydrophobia developed very soon after
having been bitten by rabid animal.
whereas the real disease rarely super
venes until after a month has elapsed
from the time OF incubation. 1t is
true, there are cases on record in
which the period Of incubation was
less than that but they are exceeding.
ly rare. In my own cases the time has
varied from twenty-five days to four
months and half Cases in which,
the disease Is said to have supervened
many years after an alleged inocula-
tion ought TO be received with doubt
The interval probably never exceeds
two years or is less than ten days. =

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Two Fools With But Single
Thought-DoubIe Suicide.

A strange double suicide occurred
in New York, at daybreak on the
morning OF September 18th. At that
hour Gustavc G. Koch, well-known
crayon artist, assembled the steps to
Canal street station OF the Fourth
avenue elevated road, walked to
point in front Of the second story, No.
lao Canal street, nodded and said:
"Yes, have come, Emile, are you
ready" The answer was not heard,
but Koch drew revolver from his
pocket and shot himself in the head,
dying instantly. AS he fell there
came what seemed an echo Of his
shot from the direction Of the window
towards which he had looked, and in
few minutes q messenger came run
ming, saying woman had shot herself
at lao Canal street. Investigation re-
vealed the fact that Emile Rossi, an
actress, aged 10, lay Il corpse in the
bed in her room with u bullet In her
head. She was attired in u night robe
with bunch Of heliotrope pinned to
her bosom. IL was evident she barred
her bosom for the fatal shot for the
garment was not scorched. There was
nothing to show the cause OF death ex-
cept little red spot over the heart
with hole in the middle, for not u
drop OF blood flowed from the wound.
Death evidently was instantaneous, us
in the case OF Koch. IL was evidently
prearranged that they should take
themselves out of The world together,
and evident y had made every prepar-
ton for the event. On chair by the
window lay her clothing carefully
smoothed out She had been writing
and the table was covered with small
sheets OF paper filled with her thoughts
as she sat waiting. Her hand was a
neat feminine one and did not appear
to DO the least tremulous They were
lovers. The cause OF the tragedy is
supposed to be the opposition Of the
girls mother to the marriage. Emile
Rossi has been on the stage since
babyhood. Her father and mother
lived in Berlin. He was an Italian
tenor singer OF note, butts dead. The
girls mother is German writer and
novelist. Emile Rossi's mother was
ambitious for her child and hoped she
would make a-good marriage. The
girl came to New York two years ago,
and played prominent parts in the
Amberge theatre company.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Double Tragedy and Suicide-Twu
Others will Probably Die.

A most awful tragedy occurred u,
Portsmouth, N. II, The city is In
fever of excitement. Fred ii. j, Helm,
a cooper, aged IS, blew out his brains,
after having killed two OF his daugh-
tiers and probably fatally wounded n
third and man whom he suspected
OF having done him great wrong,
Several months ago Helms wife left
him, and it is reported she has been
unraithful. Tier name has been con.
nected with Charles w. Taylor,
n well known hardware merchant.
Since she loft Helms three
daughters, the eldest OF whom Is but
10, have been keeping house for him.
Recently it has been reported that the
eldest OF the girls. Carrie, became
Maynard. This, with other trouble,
preyed upon Heiy's mind until Thurs.
day, when he evidently determined
to end all his troubles, He went 10
Taylor's residence at 1880. and as the
man was entering the house shot him
twice In the back, Taylor ia still
alive but very low. While able TO
converse he said he did know what
prompted Helm TO shoot him,
After shooting Taylor. Helm hur.
ried to his own house and soon after
people in the vicinity were alarmed
at hearing several pistol shots. I'm.
mediately after Maud, l3-year-oid
daughter, ran out OF the house ami
fell upon the sidewalk. Nolghbors
went to her assistance, and she said
father had shot her. Sho was quick
ly removed TO the hospital and found
one bullet had gone through her face,
another through Iher stomach AMI nm.
other through her hip. She cannot
live. When,the officers and neighbors
entered Helms house the kitchen pra.
scented an awful sight and everything
being smeared with blood. just out
side the back door lay Carrie, the cld-
est girl with bullet through her
brain. Across her form lay Bertha,
the youngest daughter She was uu.
conscious and expired in fifteen
minutes, the bullet having entered
her head behind the left ear. AS the
officers entered the front room they
found the dead body OF Hein.stretched
on the floor, with bullet through
his temple, fired by his own hand.
The people are wrought up to a high
pitch OF excitement.

A, Easy TO Go Up as 10 90 Down.

We hear good deal OF the deteriora-
ton OF all kinds OF stock by neglect
but few have any facts TO state In the
contrary direction. Every person

stock has been running down. but II IL

OF these two processes will persevero

BANK ROBBERY.
Furth Particulars of the Ore gon
Case.

Further particulars OF the robbery
OF the First National bank at The
Dalles, Oregon. show that the burg
larry was committed early in the morn
ing. The discovery was. made the
same morning by Cashier Beall, but
the matter was kept quiet in order to
allow the detectives TO obtain clue
If possible. The concrete pier ON
which the vault stands was tunnelied
through and a hole drilled into the
safe. The amount secured was 49,
500. 1t is evident that the work was
done by experienced hands, and that
il took three weeks to accomplish tn e
job. The cashier sme!led sewer gas
each morning ten days prior to the
robbery, but had no suspicion OF what
was being done. No clue to the rob-
bers.

RAILWAY WRECK.
Forty 10 Fifty Killed and a Large
Number Injured.

One of the worst wrecks ever known
In that section occurred on the night
of the 10Th, on the Reading railroad,
seventeen miles from Reading, Pa.
Near Shoemakerville there is q curve
where the railroad is about eighteen
or twenty feet higher than the Schuyl-
kill river. Here freight ran into a
coal train, throwing several cars onto
the opposite track. Before the train
hands had time to warn any approach
ing train of danger. the Pottsville ex-
press, carrying about $50 passengers,
came around the curve at the rate Of
fifty miles an hour and ran into the
wrecked coal cars. The engine went
down an embankment, followed by
the entire train with its human freight.
The scene was one OF horror. The
cries OF imprisoned passengers were
heart-rending. Some OF the passen-
gers managed to crawl out OF their
prison and arouse the neighborhood.
Word was telegraphed to Reading and
surgeons and q force OF 500 workmen
were taken to the spot. The work
was slow and the dead and dying were
taken out with great difficulty. Up
to 10 o'clock six dead and thirty
wounded were taken out. or the lat
ter some were brought to Reading and
others taken to Miners hospital. at
Ashland.
LATER--The Associated Press agent
has had direct communication with a
representative at the wreck, who says
conservative estimates place the num-
Der OF killed at forty or fifty. 1t is
almost impossible to estimate the ex-
act number, and the full horror OF the
situation will not be known until a
late hour. AT IL o'clock Mail Agent
Greenwal1 was taken out, followed by
the horribly mangled bodies of two
Mahonoy City tiremen on the way
home from Chester. At midnight
thirteen bodies had been taken out.

Pure Breeds for Pigs.

The best way in pig breeding Is to
stick to one breed. II takes nearly a
life time to find out how 10 get the best
results from one breed, and II the time
Is wasted in crossing the breeds and
experimenting with new ones, the
chances are that time and labor will be
dissipated unprofitably. II does not
follow that pure bred stock require
be tier feeding. or more expensive at
tention than the cross-breeds. and poor
stock; but they do require certain kinds
OF food at certain times. The farmers
who believe In keeping none but the
pure bred stock, and old reliable breeds
which they have dealt with for years.
soon learn TO know what treatment Is
beat for the animals. They learn by
experience how TO handle them, and 1t
is only when new breeds are intro
duced that they are uncertain and
puzzled.
In swine breeding, the first cross be-
tween two distinct breeds Is generally
good. but In the next cross the identity
OF the blood or breeds rs lost; and they
degenerate rapidly, losing the churac-
teristics OF the original stock. In
crossing, 1t should. therefore, be UNI
derstood that the excellence consists
only In the first cross. and where con-
tinual crossing Is practiced. degenera-
tion must inevitably follow.
