ST. BERNARD DOG MAD.
The Animal Killed and It's Body Sub
tected to Examinations

A large st. Bernard dog belonging to
MIR. Boulter of No. 525 Florida avenue,
went mad yesterday evening and was killed
by Policeman Ed. Murphy from the eighth
precinct. The dog was taken III In the
afternoon and Dr. Cecil French was sent
for. He pronounced the case one of rabies
and Immediately sought the aid of the
police.
The body of the dog, a fine specimen,
was sent to the bureau of animal indus
try of the Department of Agriculture this
morning for post-mortem examination and
lnnoculation tests on rabbits A few days
ago Mr. Boulter noticed a strange little
cur running amuck among dogs in the
vicinity of his home. The ST Bernard re-
ceived a scratch on the nose from the
teeth OF the cur, and it Is believed this
was the source of infection. There is be-
heved to be danger of further development
OF the disease among the dogs of the
neighborhood.

Goaded by that new kind of philanthropy
that creates rings combines and monopo-
lies and trusts, whisky spectators gobblt
up distilleries and pool and mass stocks OF

disregard of qualities. But there is protec-
ton against the sharks, for distillers and
