ENTIRE FLOCK RAN MAD.
Ninety-Two Sheep Had to be Killed Owing
70 Rabies.

Ninety-two sheep belonging to &C.
Kirkland, who lives west of Erie, were
found by State Veterinarian Leonard
Pearson, of Philadelphia, to be suffer-
inc from rabies, and were ordered
killed. Fifteen of them had been Bit
ten BY dog in February, and soon
developed the disease and bit the
others.
Who n Pearson was eXamin n them
he had u narrow escape from being
bitten.
Before the disease was identified the
carcasses of several of the sheep that
died were thrown behind a. barn and
dogs mutilated them. 1t is feared
that the disease will become epidemic.
Nature has just one pigment on her
palette with which she produces all
the marvellous tints of beauty, and
that one pigment is the blood. The
shell-like pink beneath the finger
nails. the delicate rose of the cheek,
the cherry ripeness of the lips, the ir-
ridescent brilliance of the eyes are all
produced by the blood. Just as the
permanence of a beautiful paint de-
ponds upon the purity Of the colors
with which it is painted, so the per-
manence of the beauty depends on the
purity of the blood. Paint, powder
and cosmetics won't avail to preserve
beauty. Beauty begins in the blood.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
cry is true beautiier, because it pro-
vides for nature that pure blood with
which alone she can paint. The use
of this medicine viii cleanse the skin,
heighten the complexion, brighten
she eyes, and give to face and form
that radiance OF health which is the
greatest charm Of beauby. Or. Pierce's

HEARING TOMORROW.
Mrs. RiCh's Case Will Come Up Be-
fore the Supreme Court At Chi
huahu6 Tuesday,

Mrs. Rich's case will be heard to-
morrow by the supreme court of the
state OF chihuahua. At least il will
begin then. 1t may last days or weeks.
Ill the mass OF testimony taken before
the court of letters both at the preli-
minary hearing before Judge DJmin-
guez and at the final hearing before
Judge Gonzales will have to be ex-
smined and revised by the judges. In
addition it is also possible that further
testimony will be offered by her at
torney, Lie. Gandara.
A number of exceptions to the
rulings of Judge Gonzales on legal
grounds will probably also have to be
considered by the court. This will
probably take some time and further
time will then be wanted for delib ,ra
will be held in secret and behind
closed doors.
AS there is no states attorney to
prosecute the case. the findings of
Judge Cor zales and his decision vir-
tually constitute the argument for the
state of Chihuahua The findings are
really in the nature OF recommends
ton to the court. His decision was
given In writing and covered about
twenty pages of foolscap and this has
all been forwarded to Chihuahua.
1t is conceded by officials and those
most most familiar with the practice
of Mexican courts, that if the verdict
of guilty Is confirmed, the sentence
will very probably be increased and she
may have twenty instead of fourteen
years to serve. A bard fight will be
made to either overthrow the verdict
or at least have the case remanded for
further investigation.
Leo Gandars, her attorney, was in
,TnRreZ last week in cOnnactiOn with
the case and left Saturday for Chihua

hus. He Is said to be one of the ablest
mem bers of the chihuahua bar and his
services were secured for Mrs. Rich
through the efforts of Lie. Ernesto Ro-
nero. the public prose cutor of the fed
eral government at Juarez.
The officials say they do not expect
Mrs. Rich to return TO Juarez. If her
sentence is confirmed by the court this
will not be necessary. For the present
she will be confined in charge of the
officers at Chihuahua but will not be
treated as convict.
This morning the HERALD reporter
was inform ed in Juarez that prior to her
being sent to Chihuahus several physi-
clans of Jusrez by direction OF the au-
thorities examined Mrs. Rich and gave
it as their professional opinion that
she is not insane or irresponsible.
Among the physicians who so examin-
ed her was DR.. Jesus M. Guerra, who it
will be remembered was one of the
principal witnesses for the defense.

SIERRA MADRE DEPOT.
Will Have To Be Rushed To the Ut
most-The Alleged InCendiary
Not Yet Severe Penalty
ttaChed To the Crime.

1t is expected that the Sierra Madre
line will begin the work of erectin g a
depot to replace the one estroyed by
fire. Toe need for it is SO great that
the work will be rushed to the utmost
and this morning the opinion was ex-
pressed that it might be ready for use
before the Mexican Central new STA
ton was. The latter road did not lose
the freight house and hence is not in
such need. The present quarters are
so crowded that Agent San born is hsv.
ing all mere handise loaded direct
from the wagons in to the cars.
The miscreant accused of setting fire
to the building has not yet been caught,
but the officers are confident of b 9
ultim ate capture. The penalty for lis
alleged crime is very severe. AS there
Is no fire department or waterworks, q
fire is very serious matter in Jusrez
and from fifteen to twenty years i'm
prisonmeut may be imposed.
In Mexico all railroads are under the
direct control of the federal govern
ment and all judicial business relating
to them, either civil or criminal, ia
tried in the federal courts. Hence, if
the alleged incendiary is caught, he
will be tried before the district court.

THR FIRST CHRISTMAS DINNER IN AMERICA.
earthen vessel. where it was preserved
for any length of time by the antiseptic
properties Of the manioc.
Christopher was so taken with the
pepper pot, according to local tradi-
ton, that he begged the recipe from the
native chef and took it home to Queen
Isabella. but whether she appreciated
the article or not has not been record
ed. Another tuber. the yam, was also
served up after roasting in the ashes.
but it is doubtful If the potato was on
the festal board, though 1t may as well
have been found In the highlands of
Haiti as in South America. where it is
said to have been discovered long aft
er. Anyway, there were several new
fruits. all tropical. such as the guava.
custard apple, sapota and pineapple,
and in meats there was a great varie-
ty, for the Indians shot and trapped
the wild parrot, pigeon, doves, agouti,
iguana and the utia. the three last
named being animals indigenous to the
island.
There was one function at that ban
-quet which Columbus may have in
obliged in, though he has left no record
of having been suddenly indisposed,
and that is tobacco smoking. He had
seen Indians on the coast Of Cuba roll
up dry leaves of a plant unknown to
him and after lighting one end Of the
roll inhale and puff out the smoke
thereof with evident enjoyment. But
at this, banquet he was astonished to
see the chief and his big men cram
portions of the weed into a curious
pipe, with branched stem shaped like
the letter Y and after inserting stem
into each nostril proceed to Puddle
themselves with the narcotic, to the
great disgust Of the Spaniards, who
had O few vices of their own. even
then, but did not smoke. 1t was only
because they did not know how, but DO
lumbus lost an opportunity for adding
another laurel to his immortal wreath,
and left to Sir Walter Raleigh the In
PRODUCTION of smoking into Europe a
century later.
The main object Of this article is to
point out that down In the West In
dies, where dwell our nearest foreign
neighbors, and where we have a tidy
little island Of our own In Porto Rico,
the first Christmas anniversary In
America was celebrated and the first

1 THE FIRST
INDIAN
l XMAS.
% BY F. A. ODER. %

It may or may not be generally known,
but the first Christmas celebration in
America took place in the West Indies
aud in the very year that America was
discovered. There was not much fes-
tivity about 1t. to be sure. for the first
anniversary of the Nativity in the new
world found the participants In a
state Of mind not conducive to merry
making or cheerful entertainment
The great navigator, Christopher Co
lumbus. who showed the civilized
world the way across the Atlantic, was
master of ceremonies. and he had lit
tie reason for rejoicing, for on Christ
mas eve. 1892. he had lost his flag
ship, the Santa Maria. which had run,
on a reef on the north coast Of Haiti
Fortunately for him and his crew. the
native Indians of the island were
friendly. and they not only came to his
rescue. but saved all the wreckage Of
his vessel. which they piled up on the
beach at Guarico. near the present city
of Cape Haitian. The Indian cacique
did all he could to allay the grief of the
Spaniards and on Christmas day
spread q banquet to which they were
invited and at which many Of his peo-
pie acted in the capacity Of servants.
This was the first Christmas dinner
In America, and at this aboriginal
spread" so many new and strange ar
ticles Of food were offered the Span
iards that Columbus. made note of
them, so we are enabled to state exact
ly what they were. In the first place,
there was maize. or Indian corn, which
the Europeans may have seen in the
Bahamas. but which they had not eat
en- before. In fact. the golden kernels
carried back to Spain by Columbus
from this first voyage to America were
the first that ever reached the old
world. and it was many years after
that before brown bread and "Injun
pudding" became at all common on the
tables of European royalty.
One of the curious tubers offered the
Spaniards that day by the Indian chief
tain in Haiti was the manioc, or cas-
sava. from which the aborigines made
their daily bread. They were the orig
inators also of the cassareep. or West
Indian pepper pot. made by throwing
pieces of meat of all kinds into an
