Hydr OphulDfa.

Aside from the fatal contagious diseases
peculiar TO man there is probably no phys
teal ailment that inspires marked feel
ing OF horror as rabies. or hydrophobia.
The mere mention of this is sufficient in
summer to arouse the approximations of
even the most indifferent and the cry of
mad dog Is sure TO excite all who hear it
with an unspeakable dread. This is largely
because the disease is mysterious. 1t is
greatly misunderstood, according to some
authorities and many supposed cases of
rabies are In reality of an entirely different
sort. The imagination plays a most import
ant part in developing the disease and prob
ably the most sensible warning ever given
by scientific observers to the people Il that
the sooner the bite of a dog supposed to be
diseased is forgotten the more surely will

Within a fortnight the Commissioners
are to select new sedIer of weights and
measures for the District. Much interest
attaches TO this place because of the ex-
traoriinary pressure that has been brought
TO bear upon the local authorities to give
the office to tn" political friend of this sem
ator or that representative. In reward for
partisan services. These considerations
are urged pcremptofily without the least

personal qualifications of the candidates to

Some Extraordinarily Tall Men.

From the Chicago News.
Much is being written these days about
Cyrus A. Suloway. congressman from New
Hampshire. and his unusual height. He is
said to be six feet seven inches in his
ste ckings. well proportioned, and has
aims like a windmill
If Cyrus is only six and seven high he Is
far below the average height Of congress-
men.
The Hon. Boy Bailey, the leaderette of
the hopeless democratic minority, Is fifty
four feet three inches above data with or
without socks. Mr.. Bailey began 10 grow
very early In life and Is still at It, He says
he expects to be a hundred feet high in
time for the next election in his Texas
district.
There is no record of the exact height of
Speaker Reed. 1t is admitted by his con-
stituents in Maine that he is taller than a
Flagstaff and by a peculiar arrangement
with his neck can shove his head three
feet higher than his collar bone. In his re-
cent book, Men Who Have Sat on Me-"
DIR. Jerry Simpson says that Mr. Reed is
at least 100 feet high. AS Jerry took this
measurement from underneath his subject
he probably allowed too much for perspec-
tive.
Gen. Grosvenor is several feet above high
water mark. This excessive growth was
made necessary by the generals habit of
giving high estimates Of republican ma
joritieS.

horse that was thought to be perfectly
docile came at him with a tremendous rush
and knocked him down. The animal was IN
great fury and Wildrick was terribly
trampied. The mans ribs were crushed be-
low the heart and his right leg was frac-

Neighbors heard Wildrick's call for helm
and dragged him from the furious brute.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 15.-Most ofSto-

of Haskell. who i'll. The Hoosiers
batted the ball very hard in the first and
second innings, and would probably have
won but for execrable fielding in the first,
second and sixth innings Only six and a
half innings were played, the game being
called on request of the Indianapolis team.
The visitors went first to bat and Hogriev-
er drove the ball out to center for a base.
Then Gray got the sphere down for bag.
Mcbride let the ball get by him and both
runners scored. Mcbride opened with a
double and then, after two were out on
flies to Gray, Flynn fumbed and Gillen got
base on balls Gray made a bad throw
Of Isbell's grounder and three runs came
in. The visitors took the lead again IN the
second on a single by Stewart, a double
by Flynn, a triple by HogrieVer and a
double by Gray. In the last half Mcbride
hit for a home run after Holingsworth's
base on balls. Glenalvin got a base ard
scored on Glasscock's single and Gray's
second error In the fourth two more got
around on fielders choices to Glenalvin
and Glasscock and hits by George and
Gillen. Kellum, who had gone into the box
in the fourth, hit Gilen in the sixth, Isbeu
hit safely and the pair scored on errors by
Kahoe and Flynn and an out at center.
After the second the Hoosiers never got
more than one hit in an inning except in
the seventh, when Kellum and Mcfarland
hit safely, but double play prevented
