Coal Fla mine In Texas

Austin, Tex, December 13.-During the
past few weeks, owing to the scarcity of
coal in this state, the railroads have been
compelled to confiscate coal hauled over
their lines for their own use. This practice
has been carried on to such an extent that
ccal for the state institutions has been
contiscated, which brought the railroad
commission forward today with a sugges-
ton to the governor that he ask for the
passage of bill by special session, which
is to convene next MONTH making it a fell
ony for railroads to confscate coal con-
signed to them as common carriers.

The Rarity of Hvdrophobia.
From the Youths Companion.

1t has been asserted by many friends
of animals, who rightly object to the
annual torture and slaughter of dogs,
and even by some physicians, that
there is no such disease as hydrophoba
or rabies, as it is more correctly called.
Those who haves Studied the subject
carefully, however. are certain that
there is disease of dogs which is COM
municable by one suffering from it to
other animals and man. But this dis
ease is very rare, and probably not one
person in a thousand bitten by dogs
is in any danger of it, and not one dog
killed among 500 supposed mad dogs is
really mad.
The word hydrophobia is a msnomer,
for mad dog has no fear of water,
and will run through a shallow pool
without the slightest hesitation; the
fear is that of drinking water or swal-
lowing anything. either fluid or solid,
as the attempt is almost certain to
throw the sufferer. man or beast. into
spasms.
The only way of transmitting hydro
phobia is by inoculating; that Is. by the
introduction of the virus into the body
through a wound in the skin Of the
mucous membrane. The most usual
way for this rare event to occur is, of
course, through the bite of "a rabid dog.
cat or other animal. But not every
bite. even of genuinely mad dog, is
followed by hydrophobia. If the ami
mails teeth, for instance, have passed
through a mans trousers leg or boot
the saliva. which contains the virus,
may be wiped away from his teeth.

REPLY TO THE ADDRESS.
England's Position in South Africa Must
BE Preserved.

London, Oct. T.-Large crowds wait
ed in the precincts of ST Stevens for
the reassembling of lords and COM
moners and heartily welcomed the IA
Vor1tes. Mr.. Balfour gave notice of a
motlon Tomorrow that no private
business should be taken up during
the autumn session.
The speaker then read the queens
speech shortly after which Sir Alex
ander Fuller McLand Hood, conserva-
tive member for West Somerset, rose
to move the address in reply.
Sir Alexander Hood said the house
had never met under graver crcum-
stances, not only for South Africa, but
Tor the whole empire. Dwelling upon
the horrors of war, he declared that
war should not be undertaken except
from an absolute necessity, but that in
this case, all peaceable means having
failed, war had become necessary to
establish equal rights for the white race
in South Africa and to remove the
grievances of the outlanders.
After reviewing the course Of the ne
gotiations between the British govern
ment and the Transvaal, he said that
President Kruger, by his own act, had
removed all chance of peace. After
dwelling upon the splendid offer Of as
sistance made by the colonies and the
necessity of maintaining Great Brit
aims paramountcy,' he animadverted
upon the defiant language of President
Steyn of the Orange Free State, declar-
ing that unless the question of British
supremacy was settled now, British
rule in South Africa would 60.
Clement Roads, conservative member
from Roachdale, seconded the ad-
dress.
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman LID
eral leader in, the house of commons.
who followed Mr.. Roads, said pariia-
ment had been summoned to give it's
approval to the early steps of war.
Never had the house met in circunn-
stances more serious or amid conditions
engaging to greater degree the pro-
found interest of the British people.
Never, he believed. had so capable and
experienced a staff been dispatched
from the shores of England.

READY KNOCKED
OUT BY CREEDON
He Was No Match for the Shifty Aus
tralian-He Went Down in
the Eighth Round.

New York Oct. 17.-At the Broad
way Athletic club tonight Dan Creedon
of Australia knocked out Pat Ready of
Washington in the eighth round OF
what was to have been a 25-round bout
at 1853 pounds. Ready made fairly
creditable showing, but was no match
for the shifty Australian, and finally
succumbed to Dams superior clever
ness.
Creedon was fat and slow on his feet,
while Ready looked to be trained to the
hour. When time was called they came
together several times without landing.
Dan finally sent his right to the body.
and as they clinched Ready sent in two
short rights to the jaw. Dan led off in
the second with left hook to the head
that made Ready stagger but he came
right back with the right across Dams
jaw. After a clinch Ready slipped to
the floor. Ready rushed in the third
and swung, but Dan was out of reach.
Creedon then stepped in and swung a
right to the body and left to the head.
Ready countered with left and right to
Dams jaw and it looked for a moment

Lynn thinks he caught the disease

DR.. Alexander, the city physician

There has been some talk about vac

WORLDS CONSTRUCTED OF GOLD
Some Gem Studded Globes for STUDYING

munlcated notion that in audacity
must have eclipsed anything that had
hitherto been forwarded for their con-
sheraton.
He proposed that a globe should be
constructed just one-tenth the size of
the earth itself. The proposal will not
be acted upon. London tourists may,
however, find consolation for this loss

square--that is to say, if the county
council carries out a suggestion to that
effect.
The earliest globes manufactured
were those upon which the heavenly
bodies were mapped out, probably by
Arabian astrologers. The National
library in Paris boasts of such a one,
made of copper, which was engraved
about the eleventh century. Another
celestial globe of historic interest was

left to the wind and left and right
to the jaw dropped Ready to the floor.
Dan walked ito his corner as if it were
all over, but Ready was up at the count
and before Dan could finish him the
bell rang. Creedon tried the body with
the right in the fourth and Ready
slugged back with both hands to the
head. Dan then swung the left to the
body and Ready countered on the jaw.

Creedon continued to do the forcing
but Ready was shifty and finished the
round strong.
Ready continued to improve in the
sixth, giving Dan blow for blow until
Creedon crossed him with the right and
sent him to the floor. He was UP at
the count and Dan sent it over again
and Ready fell on his back. He re-
gained his feet and stayed away for
