NO DOG DAYS.
And Mad Dogs Are Few and Far
Between.
So Says n Reliable Authority on Such
Matters-Hence We Should Not
Cry "Mad Dog" Too
Soon.

Now, the very first observation we
have to make on this subject is that
there are no such days in the years cal
endar as "dog days" There are no
days on which, and there is no kind of
weather during which, dog is pecul-
iarly liable to rabies. Rabies is a rare
disease at all seasons of the year, and
there are no more cases of rabies in
July or August than in December or
January. 1t follows, therefore, that
there is no more reason to dread our
family friend, the dog, in hot weather
than in cold, and no more reason to
dread hydrophobia from his bite at one
time of the year than at another. The
phrase "dog days" is false and mis-
leading phrase, which all humane per-
sons ought to avoid in the interest of
the dog.
We have said, and we repeat, that
hydrophobia is one of the rarest Of dis
eases; and that when it appears to be
developed, we believe it, in the vast ma
jority of cases, to be a simulated dis
ease, produced by morbid magma
tion. We do not go so far as to assert
that it is never caused by the bite of a
rabid animal; and therefore we would
advise that all proper care should be
taken to destroy without delay all an
imals that are affected with rabies. Yet
here again we must recall the fact that
rabies itself is one of the rarest of all
the diseases with which dogs and other
animals are affected. When we hear
the cry of Mad dog!" the chances are
millions to one that the dog is not mad; /;
it is the people who are mad with ter
ror.
In the 80 years since the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals was established our officers
and agents have been constantly on the
outlook, but no undoubted case Of
rabies has ever fallen under their OBJ
seryation or within their knowledge;
and of over 100000 dogs and other
small animals which have been cared
for at our shelter during the past three
years, not one single case of rabies has
been found. These facts sufficiently
prove that rabies is'rare in this city and
in this state; but there is such a disease,
and it is important for the public, as
well as yourself, that You should know

To mr:sc War Gu Locusts.

LocuSts have recently become de-
structive plague in the Argentine Re-
public, and the bankers and business
men of Buenos Ayrcs have determined
to make war upon them, and have raised
large sum of money fer that purpose.
Their first practical step was to send
to the United States for an expert en-
tomologist to look over the field and
plan the campaign. Prof Bruner, of
the University of Nebraska, was chosen
to organize the army of science which is
to carry on the war, and he has just
sailed for Ruenos Ayres preparatory to
going to the front. This is a kind OF
war fc" which arbitration will probably
never be Guggested as q substitute.

whether sick dog is or is not rabid. If
you will note the following facts you
will have no difficulty. You will prob
ably find them to be quite different
from the popular fancies by which most
persons are misled.
l. 1t is supposed that mad dog
breads water. 1t is not so. The mad
dog is very likely to plunge his head to
the eyes in water, though he cannot
swallow it and laps it with difficulty.
2. 1t is supposed that mad dog runs
about with evidences of intense excite
ment. IT is not so. The mad dog never
runs about in agitation; he never gal
lops; he is always alone, usually in a
strange place, where he jogs along
slowly. If he is approached by dog or
man he shows no sign of excitement,
but when the dog or man is near enough
he snaps and resumes his solitary trot.
3. If dog barks, yelps, whines or
growls that dog is not mad. The only
sound mad dog is ever known to emit
is hoarse howl, and that but seldom
Even blows will not eXtort an outcry
from mad dog. Therefore, if any dog
under any circumstances, utters any
other sound than that of hoarse howl
that dog is not mad
4. 1t is supposed that the mad dog
froths at the mouth. 1t is not so. If O
dogs jaws are covered or fecked with
white froth, that dog is not mad. The
surest of all signs that dog is mad is q
thick and ropy brown mucus clingine
to his lips, which he often tries vainly tc
tear away with his paws or to wash
away with water.
5. If your own dog is bitten by any
other dog, watch him carefully. If h,
is infected by rabies you will discover
signs of it possibly in from six to ter
days. Then he viii be restless, Otter
getting up only to lie down again
changing his position impatiently
turning from side to side, and constant

part of his head, limbs. or body. II,
will be irritable and inclined to dash a
other animals, and he will. sometimes
snap at objects which he imagines to b,
near him. He will be excessively thirsty
tapping water eagerly and often. Thel
there will be glandular swe!lings abou
his jaws and throat, and he will vainly
endeavor to rid himself cfa thick. ropy
mucous discharge irons his mouth anC

away from home and trot slowly ant
mournful.y along the highway o
across country, meddling with neithe
man nor beast unless they approach
him, and then givinga single snap, Th
only exception to this behavior occur
in ferocious dogs, which, during tn
earlier stage of excitement, may at

government, the answer was that the
plans for the trip were completed and
that the stay of the ships would be brief
and of the most pacific character.
In reply to the request for Gen. Lees
recall the President did not deem the
subject open to such discussion as would
require the views of his cabinet associ-
ates, and after brief interchange be-
tween the White House and the state
department. the negative answer was
despatched to Minister Woodford. One
phase of the incident that tends to show
the iirln stand taken by the adninistra-
tion is the expedition with which the &C.
tion was. accomplished. Such matter
ordinarily is laid before the cabinet and
the view of all its members personally
given.
But in this case the Associated Press
bulletin furnished to some members of
the cabinet the first information they had
that Gen. Lees service was open to ques-
tion. Before the cabinet meeting no hint
or complaint of any kind relating to Lee
had been made.
The ground on which Gen. Lees reca II
was asked are not officially disclosed. 1t
is known, however, that the Spanish gov
ernment has chafed for some time of Gen.
Lees presence in Havana, although this
had not taken the form OF a definite pro-
test prior to the present time.

STOLE EXETER'S MONEY.
The Town Treasurer Under Arrest and
Confesses.

Boston, March edwin S. Thyng,
town treasurer of Exeter, N. H, was
taken into oustoday here this evening.
He was at once taken to New Hampshire,
where he was placed in charge of the
sheriff of Rockingham county. There is
no criminal charge yot made against him,
but it is alleged by the town authorities
of Exeter that the town treasurenis short
in his accounts to the amount of some
thing like $40, 900. 1t is said that Thyng
admitted to the Boston police inspectors
that he was short in his accounts and
that when arrested he was on his way to
New York to escape the law. Thyng
made no protest, but appeared dazed By
his arrest. Whom he was taken to police
headq quarters and searched It was found
he had only about $la0 in cash en- his
person and no bonds stock or other Sc
curities or yaluables. He was asked if he
admitted embezzling the $4,000, and he
said that the amount was not so large
as that; that it was few thousand less,
but that it was all gone. He was asked
if he was willing to go to New Hamp-
shire, whether he would prefer to the
force of the law to be invoked, and he
consented to at once go without any more

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

ESPECIAL TO THE EkEoS.j
Biddeford. March 6.-Today was by all
odds the liyliest one that Biddeford has
aeen since the strike was first declared.
There has been open rebellion on the
part of many of the strikers against the
decision made last week to return. to
work, some of them charging that the
meeting did not represent the great body
of those who went out seven weeks ago.
the decision of the meeting and prevent
the mills from opening on Monday as
was agreed. The result of all the talk
was that c big mass meeting was called
for tonight at National hall. When the
time for the meeting occurred the hall
was packed, but no one seemed to know
who called it or just what it was called
FOR. Only two of the strikers committee
were present as most of them had be-
come profoundly disgusted with the
whole Of the days proceedings.
Chairman Noel Beaupre of the commit
tee, addressed the meeting and made a
very sensible talk He said that person
ally he was not in favor yesterday of call
ing the strike of, but at tho meeting
held Saturday night at which l400 were
present only seven had voted in the mega
tive and now he was going Sto stand by
the result of that meeting. He should
go to work Monday If he was the only
one in the city to do so. He explained
what had been done and what had been
said to them by the agent.
The only one to speak against going to
work was a girl about 19 years old. She
spoke in French, but the substance of
what she said was that as they lad etaid
out seven weeks they might as we'll stay
out seven longer and win.
Mr.. Beaupre addressed the workmen
again, this time in French, and asked
those who intended to go to work in the
morning to stand up, and about two
thirds of those present responded. As he
spoke in French 1t is probable that part
of those present didn't understand him,
for when he asked those who did not in
tend to go to work to stand up only the
girl who had spoken arose. The meeting
then adjourned
1t is thought. =. that enough will go to
work this morning so that all depart
ments of the mills may be started. The
York operatives have voted to sta nd out
awhile longer and 1t is probable that
many of these will go to work in the Pep
PERIL and Laconia. City Marshal Har-
mon has arranged for a special police
force in case there should be any attempt
ut intimidation.

Washington, March 6.-The Senate Will
in oil probability begin the week with

1t is probable that both the bill for the
relief Of the survivors and the victims
of the Maine disaster, and the Senate bill
creating two additional regiments of ar
tillery with which to man the coast de-
fences will pass the House this week.
The former bill was held up until 1T

that the special relief Of survivors and
victims Of the Samoan wreck in 1888 lead
to some scandal This bill was loosely
drawn and it has been asserted some ad-
vantage of its provisions were taken. The
present bill has been carefully drawn and
is one satisfactory to Mr.. Cannon, chair
man of the committee on appropriations.
Practically all opposition to the artillery
bill has now disappeared in the HOUSE.
The leaders were, it is said, in favor OF
delaying action upon it to allay public
alarm which must have been intensified
had it been rushed through the House
as it was through the Senate. Beyond the
action of the two measures the House pro-
gramme this week so far as is now antic-
ipated is entirely peaceful and has no ref
erence to possible foreign complications.

PULLED IN FALSE ALARM.
"Flopper" Lee Arrested for Calling Out
Fire Department.

Officer Ball about 1890 this morning
arrested Joseph Lee, alias "Flopper"
Lee, for pulling in the false alarm at box
81, corner of York and Maple streets, yes
terday afternoon. "Flopper, who 10
20 or "a years old, and some of his young
companions, were seated on door step
nearssthe box in question basking in the
sun and talking over their Sunday school
lesson. The stiffness of the Sabbath day
depressed "Flopper" more than any one
can tell, and in order to start something
to moving he walked over and pulled in
the alarm, which brought out the fire
department.. He will be allowed to cast
his ballot for the full prohibition ticket
this morning and will then be taken into
Judge Robinsons presence and given a
chance to explain.
The officers had been notified by Depu-
ty Hartnett to look out for Lee early in
the evening.

| Washington, March 6.-The Spanish
situation developed two new phases today
when it became known that the Madrid
Consul General Lee from his post at
| Havana, to which request the United
| States had courteously but firmly refused
to comply; also that the Spanish govern
meut suggested the impropriety of. send.
| ing relief to the reconcentrados on the
cruiser Montgomery and gunboat Nash
vile, to which suggestion the United
States had given like answer in the
negative The first intimation of these
steps came in brief and explicit cable
despatch from Madrid. Prior to it's re-
ceipt the authorities here had been fully
conversant with the facts although no
information had been allowed to get to
the public on either subject. The disclos-
ures from Madrid left no further ground
for reticence in Washington and after
conference at the White House between
the President and Assistant Secretary
Day of the state department, and Secre-
tary Long Of the navy department, the
following authorized statement was
handed to the Associated Press by Judge
Day as comprising everything that was
to be said by the administration on the
subject.
''The President will not consider the
recall Of Gen. Lee. He has borne him
self throughout this crisis with judg-
ment, fidelity and courage, to the Presi-
dents entire satisfaction.
GAS to the supplies for the relief of
Cuban people, arrangements have been
made to carry a consignment this week
from Key West by a naval vessel which
may be most available for the purpose,
to Matanzas and Sagua. Although the
officials here are non-committal on the
subject, it is thought that tho request
for Gen. Lees recall was made at least a
day or two ago and that the Spanish gov
ernment after receiving the reply of the
state department has not insisted upon
Lees recall or upon its contention that
the relief supplies should not be sent to
Cuba in naval vessels"
Beyond che foregoing, those who partic-
ipated IN the conference at the White
House would not discuss the subject and
it was said that the authorized state
ment comprised everything that would
be given to any one.
Advices from Madrid, together with the
authoritative statement here, left no room
for doubt as to what had occurred. The
request for Gen. Lees recall is understood
to have come within the last few days,
and doubtless since the last cabinet meet
ing on Friday. as no reference was made
to it at that time. 1t came through Min
lister Woodford somewhat unusual
procedure, rs the common mode of re-
uuesting the withdrawal of a minister or
consul is through the representative
of the government making the request,
