EPIDEMIC AMONG HORSES.
One Thousand Have Died on thu.
Eastern shore

baltimore, Sept, 22.-Dr a. W. Clement,
State veterinarian, returned to this city
last night from. a visit to the Eastern
shore, where there is an ala rming epidemic
among horses, which has already caused
the dcat h OF over ,000 of them. Speaking
of the strange disease, DR.. Clement said:
Il have Just returned from Cambridge,
where ! made every effort to make full
investigation of the causes and effects OF
the strange disease, which has proven So
fatal to tie lives ut the horses on the East
ern shore and which has spread as far as
Hartford Coisnty.
1t now threatens to become general
throughout the State. | made d p,Ist-mor
TEN examination OF a number of horses
which died from the disease, and will
make an official report as soon as
possible. l cannot as yet give any definite
opinion in regard to the disease but am
almost certain IL is caused by horses ca ting
some poisonous vegetable matter.
THIS theory is supported by the fact
that the disease is almost en- tirely oonfiacd
to horses which had been allo wed TO roam
around in pastures. The horses are sud
denly affected with the disease. They r.
fuse t. eat, gradually grow weaker, and
are f.n2Ily stricken with paral ysis, and die
within forty-eight hours

THE So RATE
UNTIL NOV. lst.
Doctor Mccoy Makes This Extension Because of False
Report-He VIII Have No Misunderstanding g-No Dis
appointment-He Will, In His Own Way, Teach the
Lesson that Every Announcement Which He Makes He
Means Literally.

Up to the first of September Doctor
Mccoy gave all the opportunity OF plac-
ing themselves under treatment at the
rate OF So month. That all who placed
themselves under treatment were to be
treated, not for one month, but just rs
long as they needed treatment, at this
rate, Doctor Mccoy endeavored to make
as plain as he could. This was the
essential thing in the offer, the thin about
II that made it a splendid piece of benero-
lence-that the So rate was given not
Tor a month, but that 1t was given to ali
UNTIL THEY WERE CURED.
Now. as the month following this offer
passes, many of the patients who placed
themselves under treatment during August
ask as special privilegc that to which they
are plainly entitled, 1. e., that they be
allowed To renew their treatment for a
second month at the So rate. 1t lis from
them that Doctor Mccoy learns that the
report that the S3 rate was given only
ior one month was circulated.
Now, Doctor Mccoy is not accus toned to
being misunderstood, at least not upon
essential matters. He has tried to make
the lessons he has sought to teach very
plain. He has taught many lessons in
this city, but he finds that he has one
more to teach, and this lesson is that
he means literally what he says in every
announcement. In order to make this les
son plain, he will continue the offer Of
the S3 rate until the 1st OF November
TO ALL
All new patients placing them-
selves under treatment, and all old
patients who renew their treatment
before November LIST, will be treated
UNTIL CURED at the rate of So "a
month. This applies TO all diseases.

Gov. Budd entered at this point and OPP
posed granting leave OF absence to Prof.
Holden, as he said it would defeat the in

by Prof. Cotton. Prof Cotton has sent in
mis- resignation because his work In lunar
photography has been degraded, ana all

come merely a mechanical copyist. He also
asserted that Prot. Holden had acceptezi bad
plates for insertion In the lunar atlas, de

GOV. Budd accused Regent Patlps of sup

lively row. Then he put d motion that
Prof. Holden's resignation be accepted.
This was defeated, though Prof. CUlton's

NOT AL WAYS UNDERSTOOD.

A fact often overlooked, or not always

from distressing kidney and bladder troubles
as the men. The womb is situated
back Of and very close to the bladder and
for that reason ANY distress, disease, or
Inconvenience manifested i'm the kidneys,
back. bladder, or urinary passage is often,
by mis5a Se, attributed TO female weakness
or womb trouble II some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for

Madrid, Sept. 22. Referring to the pro-
jected stnding of re e-enforcements to Cuba,
La Correspondence de Espana says that
not one mere soldier should be sent there
unless the government admits that che
pacification of tie western provinces las
not been achieved.
More than 10000 soldiers will have I'd
be replaced before the end OF the year,
their terms of service having expired, and
consequently fully 10000 men will have
10 60 to Cuba in case the government
should deem IL necessary to restore the
army 70 the contingent IL had in January,
1897. Inthe opinion OF La Correspondence
no such re-enforcements will go TO Cuba
under the present ministry because tire
measure would amount to declaring that
Wcyler has been a complete failure

spoken OF the possible closing out ofSpain's

his recent declarations in favor of com
bined Political and military action, far diff
ferent from the policy now In force in
Cuba, will prevent him from taking any
step toward the increase OF the army, the
available strength If which, according to
CJ. Alas. must now be about 100000
