ROW AND ROBBERY,
Experience of Passengers on Ii. and
o. Train.

There was a lively time experienced by
train from Martinsburg last night. When
the train reached Harper's Ferry there was
big crowd standing on the platform wait
ing to come to this city. Most of these peo-
pie were returning from the fair at Win
chester, and among them were several
white and colored men of questionable ap-
pearance.
Mr.. l.. W. Lovewell, who was On his way
to his home near Detroit, Michigan, from
Winchester, was robbed of ST while he was
boarding the train. The money was taken
from his inside vest pocket.
When the train reached Washington juno
ton a crowd from the Frederick fair was
in waiting, and between the junction and
Boyds station, il is stated, three robberies
One man lost $3.50 another was deprived of
his watch and chain while third was re-
lieved of $15

The Curious Pitcher Plant.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


Specimens CT the Nepenthes Ventrtcosa.
or pitcher plant of the Philippine Islands,
have arrived at Kew. The pitchers are
green. with the peristome rosy red forming
a very decided contrast, though whether
the color is fully developed at present is a
little uncertain, for those now on the plant
have not been formed under the best con-
ditions and have not reached their maxi
mum development, owing to which the size
has been taken from dried pitchers in NJ.
Loher's collection, which, of course, were
larger when alive. These dried specimens
give an idea of what the plant will be like
when well grown, for one branch carries
eight splendid pitchers and others are but
little less luxuriant 1t is found in sew
eral localities in North Luzon.
1t is too early yet to speak of it's future
as a garden plant, but there is no reason
why it should not prove as amenable to
cultivation most of its allies. and owing
to its novel shape 1t should prove a great
acquisition, both for its own sake and for
hybridization purposes.

INSECT STINGS.

From the Lancet.

The fact of death occasionally resulting
from the sting of insects such as bees

eEce OF these Insects brings upon many
persons. Only recently. for example. a

The HydrOphobia Question.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.


Doctors disagree on the ques ion whether
hydrophobia is an actual malay or a mere
disease OF the imagination. Many medical
treatises have been written and published
on either side of the question, and long ar
rays OF cases given by one side in support
of its contention have been torn to pieces
by the Investigations OF the other.
Now, there is case which VIII be studied
with interest by the medical profession, be-
cause the victim is one of themselves and
there is less chance of the mals,dy being an
imaginary one About month ago DR..
+. A. Todd, assistant physician at the Ohio
State Hospital for the Insane, was bitten
by a dog which manifested symptoms of
rabies. Some of the patients in, the hospital
were also bitten. but so far as heard from
no serious results have appeared in their
cases.
Recently DR.. Todd developed symptoms of
hyorophobia and was taken to the Presby-
terrain Hospital in Chicago for, treatment.
his case was seen at once TO be serious and
every effort was made to save him. but he
continued to grow worse, with all the evil
dences of rabies At the latest reports his
condition was regarded Us almost beyond
hope
Whether the case has a, fatal termina ton
or not, 1t will be a difficult, one To be argued
away by those who insist that hydrophobi:i
mas no real existence. and that what passes
for ii Is purely y disease Of the imagination.
DR.. Todd, accustomed as he has been to the
treatment of mental maiadies., is hardly
likely to have deceived himself into the be-
lief that he was afflicted with rabies when
nothing OF the kind was the matter with
him. The case will undoubtedly receive full
consideration in the medical journals, but
the general public Is also Interested In 1t,
for mad dogs bite more layInen than doe
tors.
