From the Baltimore Sun.
William Preston Harrison, son of the
late Mayor Harrison of Chicago, who has
returned from years cruise among the
South Sea islands, has many stories to

Gaping death at the hands of cannibals
in the Solomon Islands he had numer-
Gus other startling experiences.

4 DOGS GRIEF DROVE HIM MAD.
After the Death of His Master he
stampeded WOrkers,in n Coal Mine.

From the Gnllauetpnla IItSN-
Hazleton. Dec. pa peculiar case of
a dogs fidelity is just reported from
Tresckow. near here. A few weeks ago
Charles Miller, who was stable boss at
the mine, died. His dog Nero had been
his-contant companion at the mine sta
bles, and upon the death of the master
the dog became melancholy. He was a
great favorite with all the workmen, and
Nero's strange actions after Milier's
death excited sympathy among all the
men. The dog would hang around the
stables, looking in vain for the return OF
his master. He whined and growied al
most necessarily and refused to be con-
SLED with caresses or food. Nero had de-
ternnined to die. He could not be driven
from the place, and daily his sunerins
became more pronounced. The result was
that the dog became crazed.
Yesterday, while some thirty Hunga-
rians were at work on the strlpplnSs'
Nero for once left his haunts at the
stable and scampered toward the strip
ping hole, which is about fifty feet deep
For minute or more the dog ran 20 ana
fro on the edge of the ravine. Those
who saw him observed that he was froth-
ing at the mouth. Then suddenly he took
"A leap into the pit Down the side he
tumbied alighting in the midst of the
workmen apparently but little hurt lie
was stark mad and made a dash Tor the
men. who hastily scattered IN al NlieC-
tions, but not before John Hodar ana
Peter Larof were bitten.
The breasts leading from the gangways
in the Tresckow mine open in this strip
ping and the crazy canine ran into one
OF them. A few minutes later he app
peared on the gangway where dozen
miners and driver boys were busily en-
gagged The sight of the dog sent cold
shivers through the miners. BY the dim
light of the lamps they could not recog-
nize Nero, and some supposed It was the
Old Nick himself. The widest excitement
was thus created. The men ran wildly
towards the bottom of the slope, where
they took the coal cars TO escape, not
waiting for the regular car to be sent
dDwn. Even the driver boys deserted
their teams and joined the men as soon
as they could escape from the pit 10 the
surface The mad dog jumped on a
mules back and tore the flesh terribly.
The frightened mule ran to the stable
with the dog clinging 10 his back.
The ATTENDANCE at the stable recog-
nized Nero and ended his sufferings by
killing him. Veterinary Surgeon Zoos,
of this city, who was called TO cauterize
the mules wounds, stated that the mule
was likely TO get hydrophobia,. and the
animal Is now quarantined. The incident
created the greatest excitement about
the mine. Many of the miners were so
firmly convinced that IL was the devil
which had appeared In the chamber Of
the mine that they refused to go back
until the carcass of the dog was hoisted
to the surface. The two miners bitten
by the brute are being well cared for by
he doctors but there is danger that they
will also get hydrophobla.

MEANINGLESS HYMNS.
Others who Share the Opinion of the
Rev. Mr.. Tuck OF Newburgh.

From the New York Sun.
Interest in the subject of hymns and
church music has been stirred up by a
comparatively trivial incident which is re-
ported from Poughkeepsie. According to
the report, the Rev. Mr.. Tuck of New
burgh aroused considerable comment by
publicly protesting against the singing of
a hymn by Will Thompson, entitled
Drifting With the Tide" One of the
verses runs as follows:
We are floating on the ocean,
Drifting, drifting with the tide,
Far from home and far from kindred,
Ger the boundleSs sea we ride.
Giant waves, like wOndrous mountains,
Rise and fall with noisy sound;
On we glide, through foaming fountains,
On we're drifting, ocean bound.
When Mr.. Tuck heard this sung he
raised his hands above his head and shout
ed For Gods sake, never sing that piece
again" It is also alleged that he expressed
the opinion that Drifting With the Tide
ter and full of absurd figures, and that it
should have no place in a church hyme-
nal. The report adds that some of Mr.
Tuck's audience were so shocked at his
denunciation of the hymn that they de-
clared that he was irreverent.
Several clergymen and others who are
familiar with the subject were asked yes
terday to express their opinion of the
hymns that are generally sung in church,
es, as we'll as the particular one to which
the Rev. Mr. Tuck objected. Most of them
agreed in characteriZing much of the mu-
sic sung in churches as mere empty sound
and not particularly pleasant or harmon
ious sound at that. On the other hand, it
was said that there are any number Of
good hymns in existence, and that the
poor ones could be avoided by a judicious
selection. The pastor of one church in
which congregational singing is the rule
said:
Il am not familiar with the hymn men
toned in this report, but il Is apparently
one OF class against which anybody
would be justified in protesting. Where
there are so many simple, yet strong and
unlifting hymns, there is no reason why
wOrshippers could. spend their time on
silly or stupid songs. And yet most hymn
books abound in the latter
Picking up a small hymnal and turning
the leaves al random, he said.
Hear Is a fair sample OF what may be
heard I'M many churches" The piece Sc
lected was The Hebrew Captive" and
was written in the ordinary ballad style,
with the following refrain:
Are your windows open toward Jerusa-
Though as captiyes here a little while
For the coming of the King ~ sis glory.
Arc you watching day by dayf
