A Dogs Warning Of Death.

The ghost stories Of the Airlies recall
a curious little story told the other day
by young army surgeon who had Just
come home invaded from the seat Of
war. 1t will be remembered that Ma
Jor Ray was one of the officers killed
at Magersfontein on the terrible De-
cember IL. He had left behind him
his servant Bovine, at Michau's house,
the headquarters of the mounted in
fantry camp, on the Modder River and
sleeping In the same tent with Bovine
was the dog Drummer, the well-known
dog of the Fifth Royal Fusiliers.
Drummer was very much attached to
Major Ray. which may account for the
story. In the early morning Bovine
was woke up by unearthly and mourn
full bowling, and looking out he saw
that 1t was Drummer, who kept on for
some time. and refused to be comfort
ed. BOVINE afterward compared times
and found that the dog howled lust at
the moment when the spirit of Major
Ray was passing out of this world.
For days after the. poor dog was
refusing food and all con-
solation-he missed SO much the officer
to whose parting soul he had given the
faithful dogs requiem.-M. A. P.

FUNERAL OF AGNOSTlC.

AO"0 WIN IN A00r000s
Perhaps the most out-of-the-ordi.
nary funeral service ever held in Gin.
ctnnati. says the Enquirer OF that city
preceded the incineration Of the body
of DR.. r. r. Hook on Sunday. Dr.
Hook, during his life was an agnostic
and 1t had been arranged that his
friend, Attorney Sparks, also an az
nostic, should deliver a eulogy or
Grafton at the family home before the
funeral procession started for the
crematory on Dixmyth avenue. The
hour for the ceremonies at the
house, 1881 Baymiller street. arrived.
but not Attorney Sparks, who was un-
fortunately and unavoidably detained.
The bereaved family, in the emer-
gency, sent for the Rev. George R.
Robbins, OF the Lincoln Park Institu-
tional Baptist church, and, at his COM
Ing, explained the distressing situa-
ton. They lad wished to comply with
the expressed desire Of the deceased to
emit a religious ceremony, but being
disappointed in the lay orator, could
not bring 1t upon themselves to send
his body from the roof tree without
some word being spoken; nor could
they longer delay the simple ceremon-
les. The Rev. Robbins Immediately
began funeral service. He prayed
for the salvation of the soul
OF him who had denied its existence,
or, at least, denied knowledge of ite
existence. When the religious service
was concluded Attorney Sparks ap-
peared. He was introduced to the
who in turn introduced Mr..
Sparks to the assemblage. He made
4 brief grafton and eulogy, literally
sprinkled with agnosticism. The Sec
end service ended, the body was incin,
Grated.

In paper read before the British
Dental Association recently, Mr.. T. s.
Carter described an electrical motor
for drilling holes in the jaWbones in
order that wires may be used to keep
fracture in place. The motors could
be constructed for use either with con-
tinuous or alternating current. He
then described various operations for
fractured jawbones in which the mo-
tor had been used. and stated that he
that it might be- used with
very great advantage in trephining

THE OUTLOOK.

William Mckinley to the Presidency of
the United States. The signs further
Indicate the election Of a majority OF
Republicans to both Houses of Congress.
or course that which has not occurred,
may not occur, and the pcSsimist must
wait until the votes are counted. The
truth is the Democrats haze been play
ing bluff game for two weeks. When
Mr. Bryan h"gan to talk about beng
beaten by moncS-hy the purchase, Of
votes-hr confessed his knowledge of de-
feat. Now there comes another proof
of the hupelcsSncss Of affairs iii the
Democratic camp 1t was argued hy
Carl Schurz and others of like cminoncr
only short time agu. that there was no
danger in Bryan's election. hccausc =
Republican Congress would lie there to
check liS efforts ID interfere with tn"
financial arrangements ms they now fN-
list. These gentlemen have changed
their view. They now are urging the
election of Il Democratic Congress to
check the Impcrialistc efforts of Presi-
dent Mckinley. This is an admission of
defeat. The country is safe. Demo-
Gratis concede that the Republicans will
elect the next President and control both
Houses of the next Congress.
In Delaware the conditions are indica-
tive of Republican success. From all
Republicans will win-will elect their
State ticket by large majority. What
