Poor Persons who Bitten by Mad Dogs

to be Treated at the States Expense.
To provide a way for the treatment
Of INDECENT persons who are bitten by
mad dogs is the object OF bill in pre-
paration by Walter Bacon for presenta-
tion to the next Legislature.
Mr.. Bacon's plan is that the State
shall pay for treatment at the Pas
teur Institute of persons who are not
able themselves to pay. The money
for this purpose he would have taken
from that received for dog tax, and he
would make it payable by the county
treasurer of the county in which the
patient was bitten. Where a city col
lects dog tax it could pay for the treat
ment of it's citizens.
A person would be sent for treatment
for mad dog bite only upon physi-
clans certificate. sMr. Bacon remarks
that the State pays for sheep that are
bitten by dogs, and he thinks people
are as good as sheep at least.

young ladies and young men, whicn speech
was delivered by The writer Of these lines be-
fore the Glariosophic Debating Society, OF

ed the recitation rooms. WHIST did we see!
Why, co.educa,ion Of youug nen and young
ladies' Little Did we think, when we made
that speech, that"he time would come when
co.educatiou would exist in the S. G. College
We may remark here that long ago onr
theories against CO education have giveo way
and our recent visit TO the College 5as caused
thess dead theories to be buried, for We are
more and more pleased with the plan.
We mean nothing against the students who
were vt the College in our day, but, we
must say that the young men who are no"
students there eeem neaier in their dress ;nsn
when we were there, and We can only ascrsoe
this to the presence of young ladies IN the
class rooms. As for the youpg ladies We saw
at the reci,a,ions. we can say with truth that
we have never seen any here more modest or
better behaved young ladies; they are en-
phatically what we would tern mice Bet
and we feel proud 10 see such young ladies
as these attending the College.
