GIRAFFE SCARED THEM
Women in the Clown Topics" Stam'
peded by a Stage Animal

The stage giraffe came near being the
undoiner Of the ssTown TOpics'' company
at the Crawford theater last night. 1t
gave the entire female portion of the
aggregation an attack of Mysteries as a
whole, and succeeded in causing one of
the number to pass from Mysteries to a
faint. The excitement occurred some
time before the performance.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. w. S. KEEL
Ter, one of the owners of the show, re-
ceiYed from Chicago a stage giraffe,
which is to be used in the future as a
feature of the third act of the piece.
The giraffe arrived late in the afternoon
and Mr.. Keller did not see it until he
went to the theater in the evening to
make up for the performance. Then
he decided he would put it together and
try it, and with the aid of one of the
other members of the company he set
the thing up.
The giraffe cost Mr.. Keller $3.50, and
is about as natural looking as a stage
giraffe can be made. 1t is operated by
two men, and it's eyes, ears and tongue
work in a very natural way. About the
time the giraffe was set up and calmly
paraded around the stage the female
portion of the company arrived.
The stage was lit up dimly, and Mr..
Keller at once took it into his head to
have some amusement. He communi-
Gated to his partner, and the giraffe
galOped off to one side behind the
scenery and waited for the ladies to get
on the stage. They soon appeared,
filing on the stage singly and making
for the dressing rooms. But before
they could reach the dressing room an
mex the giraffe was upon them.
In the dim light of the stage the gil
raffe looked much more lifelike than it
would under the glare of are lights,
and there was a series of screams that
would have done credit to several COM
bined melOdramas. Then there was a
wild rush for the protection of the dres-
sing rooms, and an exciting tumble as
they gained them and then the slam
ming of doors.
But in shutting the doors one of the
members had been left out, simply be-
cause she was oblivious of her sur
roundings, giraffe and all. This was
Miss Bessie Phillips, who at the sight
of the supposed animal on the stage
had received such fright that she drop
ped to the floor in a faint before
reaching the dressing room. Her
companions did not see it, but Mr.. KEEL
Ter did, and hurriedly disengagin him
self from the stage animal he picked
her up and called her companions back
In a few minutes she regained consci-
BUSINESS, but was so excited for some
time that she could hardly dress for

FAMILY MAY ALL GO MAD.
Drank Milk From a Cow Which
Died of HydrophObia.

Pittsburg, Jan 28.-W. H. Howey,
who resides near Monmouth, in this
CCrawford) county is quartered at the
residence of T. NJ. Symmes in this city,
taking the maidstone treatment, fearing
hydrophobia.
Mr.. Howey's case is a peculiar one.
In the latter part of November his dog
went mad and bit one of his horses and
a cow Mr.. Howey did not believe the
dog was mad at the time and was not
convinced until the suffering canine
died in commissions. The COW and horse
also died, but the family used the milk
from the COW up to within day or two
of her death.
Some time last month Mr.. Howey be-
gan to have trouble with his right arm,
which commenced swelling and painlng
him very severely and he was at a loss
to account for it. Finally he remem-
bered that a few days before the dog
died that he had a small sore on the
back of his hand and that the dog came
to him and licked it. He at once be-
came alarmed and tried pOultices and
grew rapidly worse, and the pains ex-
tended to his shoulders. His physician
advised him to come here and try the
maidstone.
The original sore on the hand had al
most healed over, but the stone was ap-
piled and adhered at once. Within two
hours the severe pains began to leave
his shoulder and upper arm.
Mr. Howey is frightened so that he is
friends leave him. He is afraid also
that the lives of his family are en-
dangered from using the milk Of the
COW
