The Horrible Death OF Jesse Col es of
Scranton, Pa.

Scranton, Pa, July "a. jesse Coles,
aged 16 years, died last night of hydro
phobia. He was attended by three ply
sicians, who we're unable, to any great
extent, to alleviate his suffsrings.
While dying he snapped and snarled,
and struggled to free his limbs from
the grasp Of three men who held him
to the bed.
Coles was bitten last March by a
young hound, household pet. The
wound healed, and nothing more was
thought of it until Thursday, when the
boy complained of illness. The ply
sicians summoned pronounced the case
to be hydrophobia.
Three other members of the Coles
family were bitten by the dog on the
same day that Jesse received his in
jury, and all are in nervous condition
of apprehension.

Kappelle red letter day in their ex-
periences in Southern California AT

The Knaben were in fatigue uniform
and carried their Instruments. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mitchell. Manager Bray and Mrs.

accompanied them.
The party was received at Evergreen

building, where they were received with
due ceremony. Several companies OF
the Whittier boys. under direction of
Capt. Thos. Brady, went through a
lively drill and saluted Hungary. The
band went through some of its PAGES and
saluted America.
Following these most interesting eX-
ercises came the welcome diversion of
dinner. served to the visiting party in
Superintendent Van Aylestine's dining
room. The Knaben are not over fond of
American sweets and dainties, but
showed more appreciation of the meat
chicken and rye bread that were
abundantly provided.
Every boy loves an apple, these not
excepted, and although the knaben did
not partake of the fruit course at dinner
lest it affect the after dinner playing,
every boy carried his apple away in his
pocket, like young America himself.
Immediately after dinner they ad-
journed to the chapel and had a deligt-
full concert. The members of the Boys
Hungarian band played several national
airs. leading with Yankee Doodle" and
Star Spangled Banner" Their per-
IoTiIldHce WAS heartily dpplduueu, anu
proved one of the interesting features
of the day.
Following the concert the visitors
were entertained with game of foot
ball. to the great delight of the young
musicians. who had never seen anything
like our national game. The perform
ance greatly delighted them, and the
wrthing. struggling mass of arms, legs
and heads. piled up on the insignificant
rubber ball, simply filled them with glee.
Mr.. VIM. Rowland, accompanied by
his wife and daughter, and Mrs. Capt.
Carlyle assisted the resident officials in
