A CUSHION FOR His PA.-Uncon-
scious heroism fell to the lot of young
Harry Haslin Sunday morning. He
saved his somnambulistic father, Henry
Haslin, from death from terrible fall.
The elder Haslin, mis- wife and three
children reside ut No. 1927 Federal
street. He is confirmed somnambu-
list. For the past few days he has not
been feeling we'll and his wife, knowing
his sleep-walking propcnsities, took the
precaution to place boxes in front of the
open windows. But barbados of
that nature are small distractions in
the way of somnambulist. Haslin
arose from his bed at about 3 o'clock,
walked to the window, got on top of q
box and stepped out into space, falling
a distance of about IA feet.
Harry Haslin had been downtown,
missed his car and walked home. Tie
exercise had overheated him and before
entering the house to go to his room he
sat on the doorstep to cool OIL: He was
about to arise when to his horror as
well as establishment there came crash
ing on top of him an object clad in a
white night shirt, weighing in the vicin-
ity of $50 pounds. After recovering
from his fright and establishment Has
lin discovered that the heavy object
was nothing less than the bulky form
of his father. Fortunately for Harry
jr., Harry, sr's., full weight did not fall
upon him, otherwise he would not be
able to tell the tale. a good scare and
bruised shoulder was all the injuries he
sustained.
The elder Haslin Jared worse, how
ever, receiving severe bruises on his
right side and is afraid he is hurt in
ternally. Haslin is 81 years old and
fully realizes that but for the opportune
presence of his son on the doorstep he
would have either been killed or maim-
ed for life. While delighted at having
been the means of saving his fathers
life. young Haslin proposes TO make
wiser choice OF retreats.-Philadelphiq

THE recent conflict of authority be-
tween the government of the Indian
Territory and the government at Wash
incton affords another patent illustra-
ton of the need Of the immediate ad
mission of all the few remaining Terri
tories, the Indian and Utah included,
in the country as States into the Union
rs soon as possible. When a Territory
becomes State the sanctity of its laws
is protected by the Constitution.

THE New York Press says "thatin the
view of those now in control at Wash
ington there could be no greater crime
than TO have served in the armies OF
the nation, and to have fought against
the enemies of the republic" Oh, no
They think there is one greater, that OF
having fought in defense of States
rights and home rule, as taught by the
Constitution, for those who did so are
prohibited by law from holding commits
sions in the U. S. army.

AMONG those who secuted the third
nartv's wild scheme for government
pawn shops for farmers products were
the republican Senators from the silver
States of the West. But those same
Senators are now demanding the same
thing for the products of the silver
mines. Though it, apparently at least,
doesn't seen so to them, rs much wild
ness as there was about the former
scheme, there was no more than there
is about the latter.

A WASHINGTON newspaper says
"No one who knew the men composing
the Union army, and who wished at the
same time to tell the truth, would in
sinuate that they shouldered their mus
kets for mercenary purpose" Then
WHY the immense number of foreigners
in that army? and why the enormous
expenditure of the government in the
payment of bounties to the men who
were enlisted as members thereof?

ATTACKED BY A STALLIoN.-Wm.T /.
Mahoney, farmer, was attacked by a
stallion in field near Far Rockaway,
n. Y, Saturday and badly injured.
The horse, one belonging to Mahoney,
was at pasture in lot. The animal
was known to be vicious and danger
Gus, aud care was taken as rule when
approaching him. Mahoney was in a
hurry however, and instead of taking
the usual precaution of going around
the field in which the horse was pas
tured, started to cross it. He had hard
lv climed over the fence when the horse
galloped toward him. Before the farm
er could reach place of safety the stall
lion seized him by the left shoulder with
his teeth and shook him viciously.
Mahoney cried for help, and, breaking
away from the horse, tried to escape
from the enclosure. He had gone only
a few steps when he was attacked by
the stallion second time.
The farmer was thrown to the ground by
the mad rush Of the animal, and would proba-
bly have been tramped to death had not
farm hand and Mrs Mahoney come to his as
sistance.
The horse was driven away from Mahoney
by the man prodding it with a pitchfork. and
Mahoney was then removed to his house. A
physician was called. The doctor poulticed
and bandaged Mahoney's shoulder and set his
wrist which had been dislocated. 1t is
thought that MahonGy will bD about again in
fow days.

Death from Hydrophobia.

Miss Lizzie Byram, the 19-year-old
daughter of A. J. Byram, of Newark,
died at Asbury Park, n. j., yesterday
morning, of hydrophobia, after suffer
ing terribly for two days and half.
Pie case is one of great interest to the
medical profession, because the germs
of the disease are believed to have lain
dormant nearly three months before
the girl was stricken down.
Miss Byram was the owner of pref
ty little black and tan terrier, of which
she was very fond. She was playing
with the dog one day in April when
the animal suddenly snarled ut her and
bit her right hand. The bite appeared
to be a mere scratch, and, as it healed
in day or two, the young woman and
the family thought nothing about it.
After biting her the dog jumped
down from Miss Byram's lap and ran
out into the street. Two days later the
Byrams were told that the dog ran as
far as Belmar, three miles south of AS
bury Park, where it was shot after it
had bitten several other dogs.
The girl continued in vigorous health
until last Friday morning. when she
was attacked with severe pain in the
back of her head. The pain grew worse
and at night it was almost unbearable.
Miss Byram went to the office of DIR.
]. III. Bryan, who thought she was suf-
fering from Il heavy cold.
On Saturday morning she was fever
ish and extremely nervous. When DR..
Bryan tried to give her some liquid
medicine she went into commissions.
She frothed at the mouth and tried to
bite the physicians hands. DIR. Bryan
then became convinced that it was
case of rabies, and he summoned DIR.
Alderman in consultation. The latter
agreed with DR.. Bryan in his diagnosis.
several times during the day Miss By
ram had lucid spells, in which she rec
ognized DIR. Bryan and conversed with
him in an intelligent manner. She told
him she was sure her illness was caused
by the bite of the dog, and that she
was going to die. She also said: II
want YOU to look out when | have the
spasms that | do not bite or scratch
your hands"
When Miss Byram was in convul-
sions she showed marvellous strength,
and took three or four men to hold her
down. All day yesterday she passed
from one fit to another each one in
creasing in severity, and her screams
could be heard block away from the
house. At times she whined and bark
ed like dog. All last night the suf-
ferer lay struggling in spasms and
crashing her teeth, and shortly after 8
o'clock this morning she died. A few
minutes before the end came she threw
her arms up, and enc Of her nails made
a slight scratch over the right eye Of
Matthias Apologize, to whom she was
to be married in September. The
young man had the wound cauterized.
DR.. Bryan said that there was not the
slightest doubt but that Miss Byram
died from hydrophobia.
