MAp-DoG SCARE IN BROADWAY.
Persons Amazed at Woman VINO
Lifts the Brute into Her ARMS


Just as the theatres were out the otner
afternoon large fox terrier dashed
across Broadway in front of the Herald
Square Theatre. The dog turned In its
tracks and began to run around in a cir
Gle yelping piteously. Peculiar actions
of a dog are likely to be misunderstood
by ninety-nine people out Of a hundred
In hot weather, and the fact that TINS
particular dog rushed around IN circles
at once gave rise to the belief that the
animal was mad.
Leaving the neighborhood OF the thea
ire. the dog raced backward and forward
and across Broadway from Thirty-httn
to Thirty-third streets, and finally the
men and boys who congregate az Greeley
Square started in pursuit, crying, MAD
dog,' This was sufficient to make every
one who saw the animal believe he was
really mad, and men and women scat
tered In alright.
When the excitement was at its height
after a number of women had run into
stores to get out of the way, the sup
posed mad-dog rushed around under the
elevated tracks at Thirty-third street ano
Broadway. At this moment tall we'll
dreased woman, who was coming down
Broadway, stopped ana looked at .he
scurrying pedestrians and then at the
dog II darted across the street toward
the place where the woman was standing
and as It reached the sidewalk she calm
lv stooped down quickly and seized II
bv the back Of the neck and carried the
now whining animal TO the uptown Gle
waited railroad station stairs.
Those who had fed from the dog stared
at the woman in amaZement. All uncon-
cerned however she began TO pat the
head of the terrier and speak to 1t ar
fectionately. The spectacle of woman
fondling a mad-dog was such an extra
ordinary one that several hundred per-
sons oulcl<ly gathered. They attracted
Policeman Hauser, OF the West Thlrtieth-
Street station, who pushed MS way
through them and saw the woman Still
placidly caressing the dog.
Everybody seems to think this dog
is mad" she said, with laugh, but !
know all about dogs. | know from MS
cries that he has evidently lost his mas
ter. No maddog ever races around IN
one spot the way | saw him do.
Nv this time the terrier had quieted
down and was nesting close to it's new
found friend. Policeman Hauser made
an investigation and found the woman )
theory of the cause of the dogs antics
correct. The dog and his master had
been separated when the owner boarded
a car.
The woman, whose presence OF mind
saved the dog from being shot, said she
was Miss Jennie Cook, of No. 3ls west
Fffty-ninth street.
",rhe owner of this dog can nave MIN
by calling at my residence, she said.
II have seen so many dogs killed In sum-
mer time without just cause tnat don
consider IL any particular honor 10 nave
saved this terrier from a similar rate.
when Won get to know dogs you learn
that really very few go mad. but are
eoaded into IA condition of hysteria by
the behavior of a lot OF senseless people,
who would usually drive any human being
crazy"

Washington, April 26.-There will not
be a quorum in the senate during the

large numbers Of senators in New YORK,

business OF Importance Will be trans
