DANGEROUS DISEASE.
Horses Subject to MaIady Described
as CerebrO Spinal Meningitis.
correspondence of The Evening Stal

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
EVANSVILLE, Md, November %, 1898
A disease has appeared in and around
this vicinity that is playing havoc with the
horses The matter has been brought to
the notice of DR.. Samuel s. Buckley, vete
rnarian of the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege and experiment station, and he has
been actively engaged for the past week
or ten days making special investigation.
The disease, it is said, has been prevalent
in other sections of the state for some time.
There is an epidemic In the vicinity of
the Agricultural College, and yesterday
Dr. Buckley received a telegram from
Bowie Prince Georges county, stating that
a dozen or more horses were afflicted with
the peculiar malady. This locality Wis
tied and DIR. Buckley has now the cases UNI
der observation.
A similar outbreak of the disease has
occurred in the vicinity of Forest Glen,
Montgomery county, where numerous
horses are afflicted. several having recently
died. The disease has been described under
the name of cerebro spinal meningitis. In
January last an epidemic of the same NAL
ady occurred in Worcester county, on the
eastern Shore and DIR. Buckley, having
visited that section and studied carefully
the cases brought to his attention publish
ed in a bulletin of the Maryland agricul-
tural experiment station the result of his
observation.
The following method of treatment has
been prescribed by the bulletin:
ION the first appearance of the disease
on farm a complete change of food should
be made. All moldy grain and fodder
should be rejected, and where possible
wheat bran should form a part of the ra-
lions. 1t is evident In severe and fatal
a malady powerful agents must be used.
Proper nursing is necessary for success;
without it medicines avail but little. Plac-
ing the animal early in sings acts very
beneficially in preserving its strength and
increases the chances of recovery. When
there is any considerable degree of heat
at the poll of the head there should be
constant application of cold water, crushed
ice or some cooling lotion. nitrate Of pot
ash and acetrate of ammonium each a
teaspoonful to gallon of water In early
stages these tend to check the flow of blood
to the brain.
Among medicinal agents We have re-
course to ergot aconite and belladonna.
NuX vomica and strychnine seem to be
capable of producing desirable results AS
all of these are extremely powerful and
poisonous. they should be used, where pos
sible, under the supervision of q veterina-
rian. When the crisis has been passed and
the animal begins to take nourshment
tonics containing quinine and nux vomica
should be given

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 was somewhat surprised to see In last
nights Star Mr.. Stewards reply to Mr.. P.
j. OBrien's statement as to what the south
had done for the negro. as l took 1t for
granted that Mr.. OBrien's rehash of the
old pro-slavery arguments was intended as
sarcasm, rather than as a serious state
ment for surely no intelligent man in this
day and age could seriously make such
statements with the idea that they could
influence any thinking person.
The great Joke In Mr.. O'Brien's state
ment is where he says the south put the
word of God in their hands, when, as Is
well known. every slave state, and even the
national capital, had Q law forbidding and

When the consumption per inhabitant is

would seem as If the consumption of tobacco

the consumption of tobacco in pipes would
seem to be relatively larger than in cigars.
Moreover. Spain is dry country. Holland

tobacco is usually found to be larger in damp

there is no scientific authority for this
tobacco used in dry countries emits more

Obviously there was somewhere q
convention Of marriageable and mari
tally inclined ones Monday. While the
nation was engaged in the work Of
paying tribute to the dead a crowd
got together and tossed a few bou-
quets at the living, and concluded that
II there was nothing SO rare as a day
in June then the very quintessence Of
the undertone in days must be the first
day Of the month Of roses. Today the
marriage bells will be ringing for the
ohsequies Of the joys Of fifteen bach
elor men and maids.
The population Of this town will be
reduced by fifteen today. for by this
evening thirty hearts will beat as one.
They were licensed to wed yesterday.
The day was a record breaker in the
Office of the clerk Of courts. Some
years ago there was single day upon
which twelve licenses were issued.
Since then there was never such an
onslaught made on the maid who in
clined to matrimony. Last evening
when Clerk Sundberg counted up he
had fifteen licenses to enter the realms
Of bliss entered on the books as paid
for and duly issued
The licenses included all sorts and
conditions Of men and women, and the
record showed that three came from
other states to capture the Minnesota
maid The rest Of the promised JOY
will be the portion Of Ramsey county
SWANS.
The present prosperity, evidenced by
the number Of licenses granted, may be
as 1t appears on the surface. A stu
dent of matrimony who has issued
many Of the licenses in the past half
half dozen years accounts for the great
increase in the demand for permits to
marry on the basis that the popular
heart has been moved by the call to
arms, and that this is the starting Of
a great matrimonial movement on the
part Of the periodically inclined. An
other marriage sharp inclines to the
idea that this movement is the result
of subtle minded suitors who caught
the manageable young woman on the
rebound, while their hearts were bleed
ing at the going forth of the mar
riageable young man to fight for his
country.
The rare day in June theory is the
most poetical and popular, and the
quantity of roses that will be used up

An Excellent Judge.

From the Cleveland Leader.
There is a judge down in Maryland who
ought to have a lofty monument some day,
and If the people who ride bicycles fail to re-
member him handsomely they will simply
prove that they ungrateful and richly de-
serve all the troubles that the sprinkling cart
men scatter before them.
This jurist has decided that a person should
not be fined for riding on a sidewalk where
the roadway is impossible, no matter whether
town ordinances forbid it or not. More than
that, he holds that riders Of bicycles have
the right of passage on highways, and that
they are even justified in trespassing upon
private property when the condition of the
roads makes wheeling dangerous.
