Contemptible.

Philadclphia's eminent engineer, uni
versity professor and canal expert,
Hon. Lewis c. Haupt, having denied
point blank the interview in which he
was credited with having charged that
the appointment of another Nicaragua
canal commission was only an artifice
to secure delay, the Philadelphia Eve
ming Telegraph in which the inter-
view originally appeared, re-atIirms
the authenticity and accuracy Of the
interview in every particular and gives
in minute detail the circumstances of
the interview.
1t is a common practice among some
public men to give to newspaper men
opinions for publication and then, after
those opinions appear in print ana do
not look as well as expected, to take
dishonorable refuge in Reputation. We
trust and assume that Professor Haupt
has not been guilty of this thing. If
he has, he is unfit to serve upon any
commission representing the United
as to the particulars of the alleged in
terview called in question by the pres
ident; but we do know that Professor
Haupt, in a public lecture delivered in
Scranton on March last, made public
opinions so nearly akin to those con-
l. ined in the interview printed last
Saturday in the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph that if the interview was
not authentic it was marvelously ac-
curats piece of mind-reading.
The man of prominence who, in eva
sion of responsibility for printed opn-
ions, tries to put the odium OF false
hood upon an honest reporter is con-
tenptible and should be considered as
liar.

BATTLEsHIP AND UNIVERSITY

From Hampton l.. CarsOn's Grafton at
the University Of Pennsylvania Com
menCcment.
The entire plant of the University Of
Pennsylvania. after 100 years Of toll is
equal to the cost OF two tirst.Class battle
ships. And yet how much greater than
a battlcship is a university! The bat
tloship appeals II the not yet extin-
guished ferocity of man. Its vast bulk,
its speed, its displacemeut its deadly ar
mament, Its death dealing shells, the
skill of it's officers, the courage of it's men
all affect most powerfully the imagn-
alton. You may measure the velocity Of
the prOjeCtilc from a l2.inCh gun; YOU
may gauge the heat of the flame which
burns through the vent Of the dctonating
powder: you may even determine the
muscular force of the arm which pulls the
lanyard; but greater than all is the chem
list of the laboratory. As Bismarck said,
he will be i'm the future the arbter of the
fate Of nations. Behind the gun stands
the gunner; behind the gunner stands the
officer of the deck; above him stands the
captain, and higher still stands the ad-
miral. You may repeat those words
which have changed the history of this
country. nay, of the civilized world,
spoken at sunrise from the bridge of the
Olympia, "You may fire, Gridley. when
YOU are ready" hut behind the admiral

Of tears until at last she planted her
dauntless and heroic footsteps on shores

Whence came this light? Where was il
kindcd? By whom was II carried? In

A Pertinent Question.

capital invested in university work in
the United States.
In 1895. the last year for which ac-
curatC statistics were available, the
value of the grounds and buildings

A rose bloomod sweet and red

And gracefully bend her head:
She kissed the beautiful fragrant rose,
And he heard her gently sigh
Then he followed after upon tip toes,
And his heart was beating high.
He stood whore the maiden had stood be-

And he buried his mouth and nose

an iniquity carefully covered up by
the politicians and not appreciated by
the PRESIDENT AS the rule originated
in the Treasury department and was
never asked for or suggested by any
politician, it can at least he said OF 1t
that these criticisms leveled at the poll
ticians are unmerited. If there is any
safeguard in examinations conducted
by the civil service commission, 1t is
difficult TO see how the commission Will
under this rule lend itself to debauch-
ing the service to a degree the limits
of which can scarcely be imagined"
This little explanation sheds q vol
ume of light upon the character of the
National Civil Service Reform league.
1t makes plain that that organization
cares less for actual civil service re-
form-for the adjustment of the fed
eral civil service on business principles
than it does for its own self-conceit; ;
that it is ignorant of the very subject
which ii pretends to eXpOund and full
of the vanity which leads otherwise
well-educated men to make asses of
themselves. The National Civil Service
Reform league had better let Mr..
Charles Lyman alone.

The statement that several children
istration of patent medicines left on
verandas in various sections of this
city is enough to urge the passage Of
an ordinance similar TO that recently
introduced in the councils of Harris
burg, forbdding such distribution.
Just why children are so eager to eat
pills and powders which they find on
porches ana which, under regulation
circumstances, it would be impossible
to induce them to swallow, will prob
ably never be fully explained. They
will do it, however, and it has been
demonstrated that certain headache
remedies are not good for little people,
particularly if taken with disregard to
the proper dose. II was only this week
that an elderly woman in Clinton coun-
ty died from the effects Of headache
powder which had been left at the door.
If a druggist makes an error in pre-
SCriptiOn, and serious consequences en-
sue, some redress is obtainable, or at
least the author of the Carelessness
may be properly punished, but if a
little child finds anti-pYrine or phena-
cetine pills on the front porch swallows
them under the impression that they
are candy and is made i'll, it can not
be protected from the recurrence Of
such a catastrophe as long as the in
discriminate distribution continues.

HINTS FOR TIE DOG DAYS.
What are the dog days? Thcy are the
"heated term in July and August, during
which dogs are supposed to be peculiarly
liable to rabies, or canine madness.
That is one answer, but there Is 4 bot
ter There are no dog days, because
there is no time of the year when dogs
are specially liable to rabies. There are
no more cases of rabies in July ana Au-
gust than in December ana January.
Moreover rabies is one Of the rarCst of
canine diseases. When you hear cry
of Mad dog in the street, tn" chances
are many thousands to one that the dog
is not mad. Wncn You read in the news
papers that some one has been bitten
by u mad dog. the chances are thou
sands to one that It is not true.
II Il human being is bitten 10y a mad
dog. is he not doomed TO die Il fearful
leath by hydTOpnoba? Not at all; for
hydrdphobia in a human being is much
more rare than rabies i'm Il dog. Expert
physicians who have given special at
t1ntion to the subject are convinced
that hydrophobia is never caused by the
bite of II dog, and that II is simply a
hySteriCal. nervous disease caused by an
unfounded dread. Don't take that for
granted: but remember these facts:
First. that thCr" are more than million
ot chances to one that any dog which is
supposed to be mad Is not mad at all;
second. that. in all probability any dog
by which person may happen 10 he bit
ten Is not mad: and third. that even If
= person H. bitten by Il dog that really -
mad, the danger of hydrophObia - very
slight indeed
What Is to be done II you happen To- lie
bitten by dog that is supposed to he

to take "A few vapor maths. as hot as you

follow this simul" advice. the chances
are incalculably great that You VIII uC
perfectly safe.
But is there such Il thing as rabies, and
such a thing as mad dog? Undoubtedly
there is. though have never seen one.
In the thirty years since the American
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Animals was established. our officers
and agents have been constantly on the
lookout but no undOubted case has ever
fallen under their observation. or within
their knowledge; and, of over llh,1 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

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 il with difficulty.
p II is supposed that a mad dog runs
about with evidences Of intense excite
ment. 1t is not 50. The mad dog never
runs about in agitation: he never gal
lops: he is always alone, usually in a
strange place, where he joys along slow
Is. If he is approached by dog or man,
he shows no sign of excitement hut
when the dog or man is near enough, he
snaps and resumes his solitary trOt.
3. If a dog barks, yclps, whineS, or
growls that dog is not mad. The only
sound a mad dog is ever known to emit is
a hoarse howl, and that but seldom.
Even blows will not oNtort an outcry
from a mad dog. Therefore, If any dog,
under any circumstances, uttCrs any
sound other than that of It hoarse howl,
that dog is not mad
