couRTEsY TowARp WOMEN.
London Far Beyond New York in Recog-
 nition of Her Efforts.

London Far Beyond New York in Recog-
 hilton of Her Efforts.
 The international convention, recent ly held in London, of women interest ed in the temperance work, was nota- ble demonstration of the deepening in- terest winch women are taking in all reformatory movements. Probably, says Leslie's Weekly, there has never been assembled in Great Britain gath ering so truly representative of the Christian and philanthropic sentiment of the enlightened women of the world as this, in which one hundred and fifty American delegates actively partici- pated. One of the striking incidents of the convention was that, on the open ing Sunday, two hundled London pull pits were occupied by women. But, notable as the gathering was, the Lon don press seems to have given it little consideration, ard the notice bestowed upon it was in some cases a great deal more insulting than commendatory in character. One conservative journal characterized the convention as com posed of blatant female agitators to whom taste and propriety are empty terms.n When the Christian Endea7or- CTS swarmed down upon this metropolis by the ten thousand, some two or three years ago, the daily newspapers were as much surprised and puzzled by the demonstration as the London journals seem to have been by the women's white ribbon gathering, but New York journalism, instead of criticising and belittling. welcomed, and devoted itself to setting forth copiously the achieve ments of the visiting organizations, thereby not only maintaining it's self respect, but earning the hearty grati- tude of a vast multitude of readers. English newspapers would do yell to emulate this example of courtesy and true Journalistic catholicitY.

LEI THE DOG LIVE.
It Helps the Doctor to Tell Whether You
 VIII Go Mad.

It Helps the Doctor to Tell Whether You
 VIII Go Mad.
 eff you are bitten by dog, don't kill the dog, but take every precaution to let him live for few days at least"
 Prof. Logan, chief of the Pasteur in stitute in Chicago, made this oracular statement to a reporter for the Tribune, and he is supposed to be an authority on ''dogs that bite and what to do with them"
 ''It is great mistake people make, he said, ito start in at once to kill dog that has bitten them or have it killed for them. It has been proven scientifically and is admitted now by all physicians who are posted that hydropho5ia is not a spontaneous dis ease and cannot be given to person by dog bite unless the dog is mad when it causes the wound. The dog's condition, if it be mad, will be mani tested within two days, or two weeks at the latest. By permitting. it to live, therefore, the physicians can tell def initely whether the person bitten is liable to have hydrophobia. If the COR goes m1Q WlLUl0 b0dG blIIS JIley know the person bitten may be inocu- lated with the same dread disease and may have the same fate. If the dog does not go mad then there is no fear of hydrophobia and the wound can be treated as any other wound would be. By killing the dog you destroy the chance of certainty as to the fate of the person bitten and leave the imagina- tion full rein to fear the worst results when it might have been possible to know in advance that hydrophobia was impossible.
 "Of course," continued the doctor, "there are exceptions to this rule that will suggest themselves to persons. When a dog is so vicious that to leave 1t alive is to endanger other people then the first duty would be to destroy it unless it could be kept carefully se- cluded where the possibility of harm would be removed. But even in such 8 case where the dog is killed it should be done by physician, who should keep a portion of the brain, by which can be determined whether the dog had rabies or not"

BICYCLE RACING UNPOPULAR.
Meets in Country Places Draw Only
 Small Crowds.

Meets in Country Places Draw Only
 Small Crowds.
 Bicycle racing in America is not Q pop ular sport, and it never has been. It occupies rather better position in the popular view than lawn tennis. but cannot compare with baseball or prize fighting. It has always been hard to get crowd at cycle meet, even in the days of pure amaterrism, when every man brought out his friends and acquaintances. Perhaps if cycling were as dangerous as football and men were maimed and killed at every meet, more people would pay to see the fun, for Americans have Q deal of the Roman in their makeup; or if men fell of their wheels in a dead faint, as is so often the case in boat racing, or if quasi team racing could be introduced; or if men could race standing, with either foot on the saddle of a bicycle; in fact, if any scheme could be evolved which would add more noise, bluff or spread-eagleism to the business cycle racing might become a success fnan- cially; but at present, outside of few enthusiasts who really understand the skill and speed of the game, the average cycle meet audience might be at- tending funeral or a suttee, so far as one could judge from the solemnity which they exhibit. Once in awhile, to be sure, when well-known favorite or couple of them make a game finish or produce burst of extra speed in an effort to catch the leader Of a handicap. there is howl from club members or other misguided enthusiasts; but, as rule, those who have spent their time and money to see the grandest sport on earth sit like animated 1nanizins, with apparently no appreciation of the fact that they are watching the greatest speed-producing combination in the world-good bicycles and well-trained athletes.

REFORM IN DANCING.
Planned to Have More Uniform System
 T;.rou ghout the Country.


 Throughout the Country.
 At the recent meeting of the National Association of Dancing Masters a movement has been started to establish a uniform set of dances for the entire country. so that dancer will appear to as much advantage in one city as anotI.er and will not be embarrassed by tac difference in the style of steps or by any sectional peculiarities. It is soaeEy hat remarkable, says the St. Louis Republic, that this idea has never i before occurred to the dancing mas ters. but now that it has been agitated it should be pushed forward until 1t IS successfully carried out. Americans are recognized as far and away the best dancers in the world, partly be- cause they ere naturally graceful and agile, and partly because the national style Of dancinC, while it differs in par tieulars, $ generally of q nature to en- able a reasonably graceful man to make good appearance on the floor.
 But while man may be good dancer in New York he may make a sad mess Of it in Chicago or New Orleans, and vice versa. Not that the general principles Of dancing are not the same, but because in different localities certain apparently trifing peculiarities Of step are allowed to creep in which confuse stranger and often throw him out of step completely until he has mastered the local style. The St.
 Louis man finds that he has trouble in dancing with the Pittsburgh girl, and
 the Kansas City man confesses that it requires a good deal of patience to
 master the unaccustomed movement of the young lady from Boston. All four parties may be the most graceful and accomplished of dancers, but there IS in each case that little distinguishing peculiarity, that bit of 'local pride" as it might be called, which is annoy ing until the parties have danced with one another often enough to accommo-
 date their steps each to the other. This
 is one of the difficulties in the art of
 round dancing which might be easily
 remedied by an agreement among the
 dancing masters to conform to the
 same steps and to popularize the same general styles of dances.

WEALTH LEFT IN TRUST.
How Far Has the State the Eight to In-
 terfere with wills?

Hov Far Has the State the Eight to In-
 terTere with Wills?
 How far the state has right to inter fere with the last will and testament Of an individual is open to a good deal of doubt; but the discussion of it is apt to become more and more animated as time goes on. The general legal theory is that mans possessions at the time of his death revert to the common wealth, and he has within certain liI,li- fation the right to indicate in what di- rections his property shall be divided. On the strength of this, says Current Literature, the creation of trusts to carry on great fortunes is likely to be first attacked. A great many of the very wealthy nowadays are apt toleave their fortunes in trust, the larger share being left to one child in preference to the rest. Such trust is in process Of formation in the case of the James C.. Fair estate in California, as it has been formed in the cases Of such men as Jay Gould, William II. Vanderbilt and others in recent years. The tendencies of these trusts arc to keep large fortunes intact; but the social changes of the day see in such accumulations dangers which the state will be urged to recog- nize and, if possible, to remedy.
 The danger in such vast accumula- tions lies ia the fact that these re- sources. which would otherwise be divided up and be of general beneftto the community. are thus kept intact. and in danger of an increase by idle ness, and by conpounding which is reaching annually more alarming sum. The assessors have recently told us that the Gould estate has been val ucd at no less than eighty million dol lars. The Rothschild family in Europe are computed to be worth, taken to- gether, no less than two thousand mil lion dollars, the French branch of the noted family being alone estimated to be worth two hundred mil lion dollars. At the beginning Of the century the grandfather of the present Rothschilds was a poor man. Fifty years ago, indeed, the multi-million- aire was not known in America. To- day there are over four thousand of them. One cannot help wondering where such vast accumulations will end

HIS GREAT SCHEME.
xt Failed Because Ills Friend Refused to
 See the Fosns.

See the EOint.
 "The elevated railroad has inst had to ipay twen ty thousand dollars be- cause one of its guards attacked pas senger and smashed him ia the lace. said Mir. Sleemer to Mr. Plotz, accord ing to the New York World. "Now, have scheme. You and me aren't do ing anything. just now, and we might put it into practice.
 "What is it?" demanded Plotz.
 "IIl get 2 job as brakeman on the el- evated, you get on my train and then I'll attack you. As soon as see you l become uncomfortable, make wild dash for you, kick you in the stomach. knock out your teeth, black your eye, and then throw you out of the win dow. You sue the company, all the passengers testifying that the assault was entirely unprovoked, as it was. and the jury will award you anywhere from twenty thousand to fifty thousand dollars. We divide evenly, of course. The bigger licking give you the more money we get"
 "Yes, interrupted PlotZ, CT get the licking, ard we get the money. oup- pose l be the brakeman! 1 used to sweep out railroad station, and I'll take to the business easier than you. Besides I'm harder puncher than you. After get through with you the job would be worth seventy-ive thousand dollars at least. How about it?''
 "No," replied skeemer, "the idea is mine, and if can't assign the speak ing parts I won't play. Oh, very well; if you don't want to, simply don't. I'll just hire man for fifty dollars to let me pound him, and then I'll get all the profits for myself, I'm going right down town now to see Col. Hain and get the job and you'll feel pretty sick when you read in the papers about an- other elevated guard running amuck and ha&-lilling passenger. Won't you wish you'd been him? I'll be 8 rich man in week" And he headed fer down town to get the job.

THE BICYCLE CANNON.
How the Guns May Be Mounted In Future
 Wars.

How the Guns May Be Mounted In Future
 Wars.
 With the many new devices of offense and defense which have recently made their appearance comes the bicycle cannon. The gun mounted on bicycle was in a parade ia New York city re- gently, and was seen by thousands of people, says the National Tribune.
 The vehicle was a twin cycle, in ap- pearance much like Q tricycle., and known as duplex. It is especially light and strong. The cannon, a steel rihed affair thirty-four inches in length. eight inches at the butt and four at the muzzle, and weighing about fifty pounds, is swung between the two rear wheeles, resting upon the con- meeting axle and is further supported from above. An ingenious mechanism permits of the piece of ordnance being raised or defected to any angle.
 The caisson containing the ammuni- tion is carried on another duplex. Four artilerymen equip the battery. They are at once gun crew and motive power. Two men on the seats can propel the machines with their heavy loads at a faster gate than horses have ever shown ip similar service. The work of wheeling the gun into position is the work of an instant.

Queer Place for a snakc.

Not long ago, when clothing house advertised 8 special reduction sale, Jacob Shaw, manager of the electric light works in Ellicott City, Md, bought an outfit for his little boy. The jacket included in the purchase was worn with the suit until, in the course of a month or so, the garment became unfit for wear and had to be put away. About it there was most unnatural odor. There was no living in the same room with the boy and that coat. The other day Mrs Shaw ventured to make an in- vestigation, the offensiveness of the garment having somewhat subsiGed, when in the coats lining, securely sewed in, were found the remains of a viper snake fifteen inches long. How the snake got there is 8 mystery of some sweat shop.
