A New Danger I'm Dogs.

The story is told in La Medicine Mod
erne, of seamstress who was in the
habit of allowing her dog to lick her
face. She was attacked one day with
severe inflammation Of the right eye.
Oculsts were consulted, but their treat
ment was unsuccessful, and owing to
the fact that Inflammation of the left
eye was beginning the right eye was
cut out. In it was found tape worm,
which the dog had probably picked
UP while licking some less pleasing OBJ.
ject than his mistress face. The
danger of the transmission of parasites
by dogs, who are well known to be in
discriminate in choosing objects for
the exercise of their tongues, to the
hands and faces of their masters, would
seem to be great one. 1t is remark
able that accidents of the Kind related
happen as rarely as they do.

DANGER FOR CITIES.
ice Gorges Threaten Chippewa Falls an
Eau Claire.

Eau Claire.
Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. IA dis
astrous flood threatens Chippewa Fulis.
An lee gorge has formed In the Chippe-
wa river, near the Dalles, and the water
OF the river is backing steadily into the
town. Residents in the lower portion OF
the city are moving their stock and
household effects to higher ground.
Great excitement prevails in the city.
The river is full of ice. The water and
ice will do great damage when they
get into the city, and very serious de-
velopme nts are looked for.
The ice gorge is four miles long and
20 feet high. Five hundred men are at
work with dynamite endeavoring To
break it. The intense cold retards the
work and new ice is forming rapidly.
Eau Claire, Wis, Dec. 1.-The Chip
pewa river is iammed with ice in sew
eral places from the Dells sorting works
| just above Eau Claire to Gravel island,
| two miles from Chippewa Falls. The
| back water at Chippewa is accumulat-
ing rapidly, flooding part of the town
and is up to is feet. Alarming reports
are received rs to the possibility of the
|
| great mass of water on Eau Claire.
About 20 miles of the Valley division Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee d. st. Paul
south of Eau Claire is under water and
ice, and there have been no trains for
three days. On the low lands below
nurand the rise was so rapid that many
families had to flee in their night robes
TO places of safety and leave their all
behind them. The suffering among the
women and children was intense, and
many are reported as having frozen feet
and limbs. AS n rule, those who could
| fled to the railroad track. There they
built fire and tried to protect them
selves from the frosty winds until re-
lief arrived.
An engine and coach sent out from
Durand gathered up about 40 or so of
these unfortunate people, but so fast
was the water rising that the train had
to go back to Durand. 1t is thought
that some of the people were not res
cued by the rescuing party, and possibly
may have perished. The bottoms are
all under water and the stock and pro-
duce are complete loss. Dead domestic
animals could be seen all about the
neighborhood, frozen stiff in the ice
In most of the homes were stored the
winter supplies, and these were all lost.
Stevens Point, Wis, Dec. 1.-The
water in the Wisconsin river at this
point is the highest at present that it
has ever been in the history OF this city.
At present the streets for several blocks
are flooded and Monday night the peo-
pie in the flooded districts carried al
their goods to upper stories.

the voter neglected to select candidate
for any office.
The operation is remarkably simple.
The voter enters the booth, fnces to the
right, and finds before him the names
cf all candidates arranged before him as
on the ballot all candidates for an Office
in q row, and all candidates of n party in
column. Each party has distinctive
color: republican, red; democratic,
blue; prohibition. white: and so on.
At the right of the machine are the
slides bearing the names of candidates.
In the middle are two parallel bars in
a vertical position, inclosing what is
known as the voting space"
To vote it is necessary to place the
names of the candidates selected in the
voting space by sliding them along to
the left. The party ticket is first put in
position by means of lever. To split
the ticket the voter slides the names of
candidates from any other parties into
the space afterwards. forcing out those
running for the same office on the
regular ticket. After arranging the
ticket before him as desired single
motion suffices to vote it as whole.
Every vote as cast is announced by
the machine. so that failure to vote is al
once detected. How the vote is thrown
is, however, known only to the man
within the booth. 1t is claimed that
the chance of mistake through ignor.
ance is totally removed.

THE SILVER CAUSE.
Mr.. Bryan Declares Its Defeat Only
Temporary.

temporary.
New York, Dec. l.--ln the December
number of the North American Review
Mr.. Bryan presents an article, in which
ne discusses the result of the election
us affecting the status of the si:ser
question. The issue on which the cleo
tion turns he describes as 1.-THE greatest
issue ever submitted to the American
people In time of peace" The declara-
ton of the Chicago convention in favor
of the free coinage of silver forced upon
the people of this country study of the
money question in general. The result
of this study Mr.. Bryan declares to be
temporary defeat, but permanent gain
for the cause of bimetallism.
Mr.. Bryan regards it as significant
fact that the silver sentiment was
strongest where the question had been
longest considered-that is to say, in the
west and south. The gold sentiment
prevailed in The eastern states, but even
there, in Mr.. Bryan's opinion, the cause
of bimetallism made more rapid prog
ress than any cause ever made in such
II short time. The odds against bmetal-
lism in the middle states were very
great. In Wisconsin and Minnesota the
democratic party declared against sill
yer in the conventions which sent dele
cations to Chicago. In Michigan the
convention was nearly equally divided,
and there was bitter contest within
the party in Iowa, Indiana and Ohio,
while in Illinois the hostile influence OF
the Chicago press was greatly felt.
/ w, HI
that the election can be by no means re-
yarded as a conclusive settlement OF
the questions at issue. This confidence
is confirmed by the history of recent
elections. Mr.. Greeley was defeated in
1872, and yet Mr.. Tilden was elected
In 1876. Mr.. Blaine was defeated in 1884
but Mr.. Harrison was elected in 1888
The republican victory of 1888 was fol
lowed by the democratic victory of 1890
and election of President Cleveland two
years Inter.
Mr.. Bryan counsels the republican
party to remember that thousands oi
republicans have been held by their par.
ty this year by the pledge that they will
try to secure international bimetallism
In regard to the gold standard demo
Gratis. Mr.. Bryan is assured that they
cannot do as much harm in 1900 as they
have done this year.
"They cannot" he says, "disguiss
themselves again. The contest for finan
cial independence will go en-. We un
dertook the contest with disorganize6

test. We believe that we are right

manifestation of the fact that George
town was either in decadence or at a
standstill, while the business world was
marching along in progressive process
sion.
And now the Office Of collector OF
customs is to be abolished. The orig
inal commission given to Collector Lin
gun recites the fact that whereas, dur
ing the revolutionary war, he had
served without salary, he should receive
an annual salary of 5000 from the date
of his commission. The Coleman mu-
scum of Georgetown college shows his
gorgeous snuff-colored suit and satin
waistcoat with real gold buttons, and
evidently he was a man of high rank
in those days. He was -four inspector
rs well as collector of customs. In 1893
Collector Lingan and all of the Office
holders appointed by President Wash
lngton, were required 10 repeat and
sign the following religious test oath:
1T. -, do declare thai believe that
there is no transubstantiation in the Sac
rament of the Lords Supper or in the ele-
| ments of bread and wine. at or after the
conservation thereof by any person whatso-
ever"
So it appears that there were ex-
tremists on religion in those days as
well as in our ti-.:Ss, and religious
declaration was necessary to the proper
performance of public duty. Nobody
to-day seems to know whether George
Washington made this form of oath a
prerequisite to Office holding, or wheth-
er it was required by congressional

Ex-Secretary Foster Speaks of the Senti-
ment In Hawaii.
Washington, Dec. 1.-Mr. John w.
Foster, former secretary of state, has
returned to Washington from six
weeks visit to Hawaii. whittier he went
as the representative of the Pacific
Cable company. In speaking of his
visit Mr.. Foster said that the people OF
Hawaii wish to be annexed to the
United States. The present govern
uient has the approval of u majority of
the native Hawaiians, and there is no
likelihood that there ever will Re ~
restoration of monarchy. The English
and German element. however, are op
posed to annexation to the United
States, because they think it will inter
fere with their contract labor and so
affect their interests commercially. MIR.
Foster said it was not apparent that
Hawaii could maintain herself as an
independent goySrnment in case the
United States should refuse to annex
the islands, although her people are
law abiding and her present govern
ment moves along smoothly and sue
cessfully.
