ABOUT MEASLES,
The Disease Is In All Parts of the City.
but Is Mild.

There is some trouble in the public
schools at present on account of measles,
although it is of a mild form and not
likely TO grow worse. The worst OF It is
In the Ring street school, and the cause
of IL is that the children from the Tobey
street Home attend that school. Ia the
home there are thirty or forty cases of
measles. and the two lower rooms of the
Ring street school are minus large
number of pupils in consequence.
The Carpenter street school is also af-
fected seriously No other schools are
so badly off although there are cases in
several. including the Beason avenue and
Benefit schools, in the latter of which.
there has also been a casr OF scarlet fever
reported; that is. a child who has been
attending that school has it.
Supt. Tsrbell said to-day'that the dis
ease was mild and that there WAS no es-
pecial cause for alarm
DIR. King of the health department. said
to-day that measles was scattered all
over the city, but that il was very mild
and no especial harm would be likely to
result.

SUDDEN INSANITY.
A Lodger at the Central station Causes a
Disturbance Among the Rest.

Disturbance Among the Rest.
James Henley, claiming to come from
Pawtucket applied at the Central Station
last night for lodgings. He was accom-
modated and with the twenty odd
lodgers occupied the sumptuous beds in
the dodgers paradise" At O'Clock
this morning Henley was appar-
emily well, but at 6:30 O'Clock
a commotion was heard in
the room, and when the police inves-
tigated funny sight vas seen. Henley
stood in the centre Of the room waving a
heavy club about his head, and was dis
coursing earnestly about devils and
others.
"I'm Michael, the arch-angel" said he.
and the terrified dodgers huddled in a
group in the remotest corner of the room
as he swung the club in dangerous prox-
unity TO their heads.
One of the dodgers, an Italian named
Peter kinbysik. refused TO believe Hen
ley's statement and Henley promptly
"swatted" him over the head with the
club, telling him TO the floor and cutting
an ugly cash on his scalp.
The sight of the blood seemed TO en-
rage the insane man, who shouted, "the
end Of he world has come" and he fierce
ly ordered the terrified dodgers to kneel
down and pray.
those lodgers who were total strangers
TO prayer. the police interfered and put a
stop % the chorus OF doubtful music
which Henley frightened the crowd into
singing.
The straps wero promptly put on the
insane man, and everyone heaved sigh
of relief
DR.. Palmer dressed the Italians head,
and then examined Henley. aud with the
testimony OF DIR. Peck, pronounced him
insane. He was taken up stairs. and for
several minutes he amused the assem-
blage by preaching TO them.
This world is ali a bluff. Heaven is
the only true happiness. l was sent
down here to look out for the people and
the devils are going TO be thrown down."
said lie, and unfortunately at just this
moment Drs. Palmer and Peck entered
the room only to be greeted with shout
from the insane freak.
Look at the devils coming inp
howled he. and Dr. Palmer graciously
removed his hat at the storms of ap-
plause evoked.
said one lawyer to another, THAT man
Is not as insane as he seems,n and both
went outside TO liquidtte.
Henley was even, ually adjudged insane
and was ordered committed to the state
asylum.

Chased BY a wild Box Car.

"I was chased once by box car, )"

down the mountains one day with a
baggage car and two coaches. l was
on the rear car looking at the road
when l deserted box car coming down
the grade at rate of speed that was
appalling. Fit struck US we were gone
sure. for it would smash the entire
train into kindling wood and pile 1t mp
in one of the gorges. Our only hope
was 70 either outrun or wreck 1t. The
engineer caught sight Of II at the same
instant that / did, and put the lever
down among the tallow pots.
at appeared impossible that we
could hold the track on the sharp curves
while moving more than mile min
ute. but we did, and the box car con-
tinued to saw wood. II we could once
get TO the foot Of the grade we would be
safe. but that was soon seen 10 be i'm
possible, Rapidly as we were going
the box car continued TO gain
upon US, aud now We could see that IL
was loaded with iron. Something must
be done, and that quickly. All the
Messengers had fed into the forward
coach, and were hanging on to the seats.
I signalled the engineer to shut on, set

the pin, and the engineer opened the

rae WAY. OF WOLVES.
Westerners Used Not to Mind Them More
Than Ground Squirrels.

Does the American wolf ever attack
human beingsb Up to afew years ago
almost the only account OF the killing
of persons by wolves is to be found 10
Audubon and Baceman, which tells OF
the deuouring OF slave by pack OF
wolves In some one OF the Southern
States. This account came to the au-
thors at second or third hand, and to
my mind it Is not at all convincing.
In the old days in the West man no
more thought OF being afraid OF wolf
than of ground squirrel. With stick,
or without one, man could chase a pack
of gray wolves as far as he could run,
and as long as his wind held out. Even
in the bittereSt weather the wolves
never thought that there was any dan
ger of being attacked by wolves. The
only case of which / ever heard which
suggested anything like this was toward
the end of very long snowy winter,
when a large white wolf one night
followed a friend OF mine up to his
cabin door. The animal trotted along
only few steps behind the armed man,
who confessed 70 feeling somewhat I'M
easy lest the beast should spring at
him, but it made no demonstration OF
this kind.
OF late years more or less frequent
accounts have been published in the
newspapers or packs of wolves attack :
ing human beings in Minnesota and
North Dakota, but have always be-
lieved, and still think, that such dis
patches are mere newspaper fakes, "
and no more to be credited than the
bear and hoop snake stories which so
frequently adorn the pages OF the Jour-
nails to-day.-FOreSt and Stream.
