brought the patients to the city. They
were bitten last spring by a little skye
terrier puppy barely six months old.

mary cause of the exodus of hydro
phobia suspects. GUSTS Lee was the

the first to fall victim to the bite of
the pet skye terrier. He died last
Friday, after suffering untold agony
from what DR.. Anderson believes to

REV. DIR. TODD SUES FOR DIVORCE.
Rev. Gilbert S. Todd, the pastor OF
Hamline NJ. Z. Church, Washington,
has brought suit for divorce from his
wife. Mrs. Emma n. Todd. While the
allegations in the bill have not been
made public, they are well understood.
Soon after DR.. Todd assumed the pas
torate of the Hamline Church last
spring there was a scandal which re-
suited in the return of the lady to the
home of her Iarents in New York. 1t
was said that reports came to his ears
rejecting upon the faithfulness OF MS
wife. that the minister employed pri-
vate detectives to watch her, and that
they followed her and man to Il we'll
known house in disrepntable quarter
of the city. Her companion was we'll
known member of Congress from the
far West.
The day after this discovery DR.. Todd
bought ticket for his wife and placed
her on the train to return to her par
ents home. The ground for the di-
vorce is therefore supposed to be the
scriptural one.
Efforts have been made to keep the
suit secret. Although the papers in
the case were sworn to on the 18th OF
this month, they were not entered upon
the equity court docket until some
time afterward, and an order was Sc
cured from the court under the prece-
dent established in the Dickson divorce
case. by which the bill was withheld
from the files of the court. Mr.. Camp
bell Darlington is the attorney who rep
resents DR.. Todd in the case.
