CHASED BY A BULL-A daring ex-
perience, fraught with exciting scenes
and hair breadth escapes of human
lives, occurred Thursday morning in the
Oconee swamp, fourteen miles below
Dublin, Ga. Two months ago farmers
dog suffering from the rabies ran amuck
in the community, biting hogs, cattle
and other animals. During its career
the dog met monster bull belonging
to man named Wilkes and attacked
the beast, biting and decorating its left
ear. For the past week the bull has
been acting very strangely, hooking
cattle and hogs and frothing at the
mouth. He has had several convul-
sions. In the cow pen he tossed the
cows over the fence and gored the
Young calves. Along the public road
hogs were ripped open and killed by
the infuriated beast and horses in the
lots were frightened and ran to their
stables to keep out of danger. Hydro.
phobia in lis worst form has manifested
itselfin a number of animals.
That morning Mrs. Mary Livingston,
residing at Tweed, was busy preparing
breakfast in the swamp for her husband
and several hands. who were rafting
cypress timber in the river short dis
tance from Dublin. On her return with
a bucket water her attention was at
tracted by the approach of the bull.
The animal turned on the woman, Bit
ing and swapping and tossing its horns,
barely missing her body. Seeing that
her life was in jeopardy, she ran with
all haste to the river and plunged in.
The mad beast followed believing.
While in the water it had paroxysm
after paro1ysm.
Mrs. Livingston stood in the water
shoulder deep shouting at the top of
her voice for help. Her son came in
the nick of time in a: row boat and
pulled the inanimate form of his mother
into the boat just as she tainted. In a
second more the Infatuated animal
would have reached the woman. 1t
followed in the wake of the boat and
remained in the water four hours, pre-
venting the river hands from coming
ashore. When the bull did return to
tbs bank it destroyed the cooking
utensils. The beast was killed that
evening by Mrs. Livingston's husband.

TIE GRAND jury of Danville, Illinois,
the scene of the last lynching, has ad-
iourned without bringing in single in
dictment, though the lynchers are well
known, and it also refused to endorse
the efforts of the judge, sheriff and
IN .yor of that place to preserve order
fhere. But the Northern South haters
so not charge the whole people ofIlli-
nois with being bloood-thirsty savages
and utterly unmindful of the law.

WASHINGTON, June 1.
The question of infantile insurance,
which is forcing itself upon the con-
sideration of legislatures in several
States, has led to thorough investiga-
ton of the European system of insur-
ance of infants and young children,
which has just reached the State De.
partment from DR.. Chancellor, the
American consul at Havre. 1t has been
asserted, perhaps rashly, thinks DR..
Chancellor, that the death of large
number of infants in England and
France is due to their being insured,
or IN other words, that children are de-
liberately murdered for insurance
money. In France bonus is paid by
some municipalities to the mothers of
illegitimate children to prevent. it is
claimed, the clandestine destruction of
such children, thus to preserve the off:
spring as an ultimate source of wealth
and strength to the body polite. But
no restriction whatever seems to have
been placed upon another and greater
possible cause leading to the death of
many infants, namely, that of gambling
upon the survival of the child by insur-

No WONDER the people of this count
ry have such a poor opinion of their
consular service, when their consul at
Brunswick, in his official report to the
Treasury Department, advises tie
American farmers to raise horses, to be
slaughtered and used as meat. As the
raising of cattle for the purpose REFER
cd to is much easier and more profita
bile, the printing of the consuls report
was an unnecessary expense.

The LAW provides that the vacancy
caused by the death of the late Secre.
tary of State must be filled within ten
days, but, so far, the President has given
no ntimation as to when or with whom
he shall fill it, and as whoever he may
select will merely be his clerk it would
really make little or no difference if he
should allow the vacancy to continue
indefinitely.

CARDINAL GIBBoNs.-In an inter
view, after his arrival in Rome yester-
day, Cardinal Gibbons said that this
was his FIRST visit to Rome since 1886,
when he was made Cardinal. He
added that he simply came to Rome
upon his ten-year visit which every
bishop is required to make and that he
does not intend to stay long. The car
dinal also said that he has no special
question to discuss in Rome except the
usual diocesan affair. He added, how
ever, that be was taking keen interest
in the social question, and he was hap.
py to say that the workmen in Ameri.
ca, as individuals and as associations,
know how to conduct themselves ac-
cording to the spirit of the gospel and
the principles ofjustice, avoiding dam
gerous excuses, but nevertheless de-
termined to obtain what is equitably
their due.

A REJECTED LOVERS CRIME.-A
tragedy was enacted on farm twelve
miles from Cameron, Texas, yesterday
Thursday night Louis Smith married a
girl named Hursh, who had rejected
jeff Lewis. The newly couple
went at once to their home, accompa-
MED by the mother and sister of the
bride. Yesterday morning, while the
four persons were at the house, Lewis
came along, stepped inside the door
and, without word. leveled his Win.
chester and fired. Smith dropped
dead on the floor, while the women
spraug to their feet and attempted to
escape, but the murderer was not salts
fed. A second shot, and the bride OF
q night Joined the groom in death.
Her mother was shot in the side and
fell MORALLY wounded. The BRIDES
sister was shot in the breast, and may
survive.
Having completed his work, Lewis
mounted his horse and fed to his home.
There he lay down on the floor in the
doorway, and, placing the rife to his
head pulled the trigger and died with
out struggle. He was known to be
insanely jealous of the woman who
married Smith, and stated that the day
which saw her bride should see her a
corpse. His threats were laughed at
rs the wild utterances of disappoint-
ed lover, and there was no thought of
danger. The whole country is excited,
and all day there were crowds at the
scene of the tragedy. The victims were
buried in one grave to-day. 1t was
thought the mother would hardly sur
vive the night.

the continuance of the gold power

maintained in country where people
are starving. This is question which
is not only bread and butter to the great
body OF people of the United States, but
it is world wide in its scope. 1t is the
greatest problem which faces the civil
lied nations OF the earth to-day"
The senator has just returned from an
extensive trip through the east and
spoke at length on the outlook for the
white metal and the industrial condi.
tions in the thickly populated re-
gions OF the country. 1t was evi-
dent from his tone that he sees the
smoke of great battle aiar and is nerv.
ing himself ior the conflict.
"Hard times continue in the east"
said he, "and see no reason to think
the times will be any better. see nC
