1t is now proposed that instead of vaooinating persons bitten, as in the Pasteur method, dogs should be inocu- lated with the virus of rabies, In the hope that they may thereby be made proof against the usual effects of the bite of mad dog, just as human sub- ieots are vacoinated to make them proof against the ravages of smallpox. The result of researches on this matter un- dertaken by an eminent Frenchman will be awaited with intorest.

HEIRS WHO WE'RE DUPED.

New York, Oct 1.-THE treasury de-
partment has had many inquiries from
time to time about the alleged estate
of one Joseph Ball Of Philadelphia, which
Is supposed TO be held in trust in the
treasury department. The letters speak
OF the trust Of an alleged 81 year lease
given by hr. Ball 10 certain valuable
property in Philadelphia. Some time
ago ii was stated that ex-President Har-
rison was interested as an attorney in
the estate. Many hundreds of people
all over the country have been drawn
into the struggle for the money which
they think awaits distribution. To all
of these inquiries replies are sent inform
ing the heirs" that there is no such
fund in the treasury, and that the only
record in the treasury department Of
Joseph Ball of Philadelphia relates TO a
claim Of about $4,000 which he filed as
an underwater against the government
in 1901 for cargo and vessel seized by
the French. The claim is one OF the
ordinary spoilation claims.

A COLUMN OF FLAME.
Horrifying Spectacle Met the Gaze OF
People at Canton, q.

Canton, o., Oct. 11.-Residents of the
tenderloin district at daylight Sunday
heard screams and saw a column OF
flames I'm the yard of the home Of Will
lam De Peyster. on investigation Mrs.
DE Peyster was found with her cloth
ing on fire, and before aid could be rem
dered she was>dead.
The kitchen of the house was covered
with oil spots. and fragments OF broken
lamp were found in the house and yard.
DE Peyster, when found, would give no
explanation of what had happened and
was placed under arrest on suspicion of
murder.
Neighbors say that he and his wife had
been quarrelins all night. Maggie
Greathonse, who was on the second floor
of the building was taken In custody
by the officers as a witness. She could
throw no light on the case beyond the
starting of the quarrel shortly after mid
night she told Of a former attempt
De Peyster made 10 kill his wife sew
eral months ago. She says that after
a protracted quarrel between De Peyster
and his wife, she went to their room in
answer to a call for help, and found
Mrs. De Peyster's nightrobe on fire. and
saturated with oil which De Peyster had
poured over her after breaking the lamp.
He had ignited the garment. The two
women fought him off and extingulshed
the flames. De Peyster comes from a
well TO do family.
Opinion differs as to how Mrs. De
Peyster's clothing was ignited. 1t was
at first supposed that lighted lamp
had been thrown at her. but as the
burner TO the lamp cannot be found and
nothing in the room where the oil was
spilled was burned leaving no evidences
of an explosion, some Of the officers
believe that the plan discovered by the
Greenhouse woman on a former occa-
sion was the way the woman's death was
caused.

1 have friend in New York who wrote

His tale runs this wise: At the hotel

deal with an undertaken, whereby he was
to report Immediately any sudden death
or suicide in his house, and in return for
this he was to receive SIS for every case
turned over to the undertaken.
Recently a despondent couple reached
New York City, registered at this hotel
and went to their rooms. Soon after
reaching their rooms they prepared for a
trip.into the other world by the gas line,
and carefully plugged up all the inter-
stices that admitted air. Hardly had they
completed their arrangements and turned
on the gas when 1t leaked out somewhere,
and the night porter, a new man with q
keen sense of smell, detected the odor. He
wasted no time, but kicked the door in,
threw open the windows, and dragged the
people out into the hallway. Then he
rushed down and told the night clerk
what he had done. The clerk tod him
that he had knocked him out of $50 by his
operation, and that he was not engaged 10

There are not two rods OF bicycle and not

lawyer and doctor are. from thirty

along very we'll without them. When a
couple want 10 get married they take their
bridal tour in hunting up minister and
coming home again. If a person is sick he
is sent out to a. doctor, because no physi-

and, in case he dies. the body must be
transported more than thirty miles before
it can rest in Christian bnrying ground.
