Hydrophobia Not Fatal.

TRENTON, \. J., Oct. 19.-Med;cal
experts are interested in the case Of Mrs.
William \. MaXson, who, q week ago,
was in the throes Of genuine hydrophC-
hi;,, but is now pronounced cured by
Dr.. William T. Rogers. her attending
physician.
She has been improving all the past
week, and yesterday, for the first time
since she was taken with the disease,
she was able to sit up in bed and en-
JOY a meal of milk toast and poached
egg.
From the "Wednesday preceding un-
til Sunday last the woman barked and
snapped like dog, and the strength of
three men WAS required to hold her
down US she passed quickly from one
spasm into another.
DR.. Rogers and other physicians say
there is 10 doubt that it was case Of
genuine rabies, and that the cure is
most remarkable after the disease had
reached such al advanced stage.
The bite which brought on the attack
was inflicted by pet dog five years
ago. Mrs. MaXson is thirty-two years
Of age. She is of slight build and is the
mother of several children.

Judges Appointed by Lincoln.
New York Herald

The death of Justice Miller leaves
Justice Field the sole survivor of Pres
ident Lincoln's appointtees to the
Supreme bench.
It is a noteworthy fact that Mr..
Lincoln filled more vacancies on that
bench than any other President. He
appointed three justices in 1862
Swayne, Davis and Miller-and one
Field-early in 1863. In 1864 he made
his fifth appointment, that of Salmon
P. Chase to succeed Roger. B. Taney as
chief justice. All of these were chosen
from the West-Swayne and Chase
from Ohio, Davis from Illinois, Miller
from Iowa and Field from California.
Justice Miller served twenty-eight
years, and Justice Field is now in his
twenty-seventh year of service. Their
term covers what is perhaps the most
important constitutional epoch in our
history-the exposition of the three
post war amendments, and in that ex-
position no judge has taken so prom
inent part as they have.

Two Families, Harrisons and Adamses
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
WAsHISGToS, Oct. 20.--Having been
outside of my library for a year
or more past, took up some books but
yesterday and found myself engaged in
i comparison of the relative age and
growth Of the only two families that
have twice furnished Presidents to
this country-Adams and Harrison
Upon looking the subject up I was rath-
er surprised to find Benjamin Harrison
to be Of the relative Importance in
Virginia by family that the Adamses
have become in New England by their
personal industry and addition to pub
lie questions. For rinstance John Adams
was born in 1885, and Benjamin Harri-
son, the signer of the same Declaration
Of Independence, in 1740.
The duration of the Adams family,
down to the death of Charles Francis
Adams in 1856, comprised Isl years,
covering only three lives. The Harri-
son family, commencing in l740, may
be said to terminate in 1892 with the
present President, and therefore covers
152 years, but four instead of three
lives.

Wanamaker Will Not Pay.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The Post Office Department will not
pay the 81 900 reward offered for the
capture and conviction Of Rube Bur-
rows. There is Il standing reward offer
ed by the Post Office Department for the
capture and conviction of any one rob-
bing the mails. This is the reward that
applied to Rube Burrows. But it VIII
not be paid because there was no con-
viction, nor has proof been established
in court that Rube Burrows robbed the
mails. The department officers know
he did, but they never pay Il reward
without legal proof and conviction.
Thus captures of Rube Burrows will
fail TO get 81, 900 Of the $500 reward on
the head of the noted outlaw.

AS for those who have old maidism
thrust upon them-there are hundreds
Of sweet-hearted, womanly women to
whom wifehood and motherhood be-
long by all that is worthy in instinct
and pure in purpose who are cheated
out Of their birthright by the lack of
enough men worthy to touch the hem Of
their garments, by designing and false
hearted women, who bear off matri-
monial prizes only TO be unfaithful to
the husbands and neglectful of the
children; and by the conditions under
which we live, which enable the girls
with money and influence to secure
husbands in Almost mercenary way, to
the inspiration Of ranters on the "Is
Marriage Failure" question, the Gym
icism of men and the despair of wo-
men.
The question, "Why do you not
marry?" was asked young woman,
and she answered, II cannot earn
enough to support two yet"
To young man the same question
was propounded, and the reply was:
''The ones we want will not marry US,
and the ones we might have we do not
care for"
When the reaction comes from this
unmarriageable age, when men and
women mutually require less of each
other in the marriage VOWS, when wo-
men do not look upon husbands as
safety deposits of wealth where drafts
are cashed on sight, when men explain
carefully their resources to their wives,
giving them their share of the income
as freely and unrestrainedly as they
help themselves to their own allowance
instead of doing out the shekels Mig
gardly, as to beggars upon the high
way, and when the little god of love
ceases to be so mercenary and so mali
cious, hurting his darts at random
among the people, causing the impossi-
bic and unattainable to be ever the
desirable, there will be more giving in
marriage, more solemnity in its cere-
monies, less talk ofits fairlure, and
more devotees to its covenants.
