Medical science has done so much to do
away with the old dangers OF hydrophobia
that there is no Justification in these days
for wild alarms over the bites of dogs,
whether they are rabid or not. AS a mat
ter of reasonable precaution a prompt visit
to the nearest doctor or drug store may be
advisable. and the swift application Of the
cautery may do no harm and may tend "a
relieve anxiety. But how many dog catch
ers ever died from wounds inflicted by rag
ing beasts? And yet they were often BIT
ten. A half century ago the most frenzied
of mad dog scares sometimes swept over
even entire states. People are cooler and
calmer and more reasonable now in some
things than they were then.

 Rendered Reception.

 A number of the most prominent citi- zens of New Orleans and the governors of Mississippi and Louisiana were among his callers To the latter gentlemen, Colonel Mcclure expressed 1t as his con viction that 1t would tend greatly to ad- vance the business and commercial well fare of the south for all the southern governors to attend the approaching in au2ural ceremonies at Washington City in a body. Governors Heard and Lon gino on their part consented to go. Sec retary Thompson, of the Southern In dustrial Association, sent a request to other Southern governors asking them to act likewise on Colonel McClures sug- gestion.

QUESTION OF TAXATION.
Court Holds That Intangible Property
 of Corporations is Liable.

Houston, Tex, February 20.-The ques- ton of the right of the State to tax the intangible property of corporations which has been pending in the Court of Civil Appeals for some time was today de- cided in the case of the State of Texas vs the Austin and Northwestern Rail road Company, which came up from the District Court of Travis County. The case was affirmed, thereby agreeing with theslower court that the intangible prop erty of corporation is taxable. This de- cison has been awaited with much inter- est throughout the State, as there are a number of cases pending on this issue. The Court of Civil Appeals holds that the intangible property of railroad cor poration is taxable in the different coun- ties through which the railroad runs. The question affects every corporation doing business in Texas. As interstate concerns are affected the matter Will be carried to the United States Supreme Court ultimately. The Texas contention is based on the New York franchise tax law.

TROUBLE IN UGANDA.
The Natives Have Agreed To Pay Ur
 the Taxes.

London February 2O.-Advices received here today from Mengo, Uganda protec- torate, say the trouble threatened over the collecting of taxes has been sur- mounted. The Uganda natives have paid in full for the current year approximate ly f60.OO0. A considerable portion was paid by the King, and the compound surrounding the government headquar- ters at Port Alice resembles geological garden, the contributions including five elephants, some zebras, chimpanzees, hogs, antelopes, porcupines, snakes and monkeys.
 A band of Congo forest dwarfs recently visited Sir Harry H. Johnston, the spe- cial commissioner of the Uganda protec- torate. They took home such glaring &C., counts of their reception that the whole tribe of forest dwarfs went to Torn, on the border near Mengo, and refused to return to the forest. They insist on pro- ceeding overland to greet the British King and brand as false the representa- tions made to them that the sea inter- Venes. '....-.

A Case of Fire and BhImstone.

"Come round young man., said the judge to youth who sat behind the bar wearing an anxious look. You look like you wanted to be tried, whether you tried to look that way or not. Whats your name?" Tom Watts" What did you do?" 'I don't know judge" "He is &C., cused of disorderly conduct" said an of- ficer, ''that girl there is the prosecuting witness .It pains me to see how pre- valent Is disorderly conduct" said the judge, "still as a business proposition it pays the city better than propriety. What has the witness to say?"
 'I went into dis mans room," said the witness, whose name was Sal, ito make a fire. I found out his room war better dan his company, for he tole me ter push de window down. I didn't do it quick ernouf ter suit him an he began to cuss. Den I said dat in so far as he had used obnoxshus language I warn't gwine ter shut de window. Den he tole me ter shut my mouf an I tole him I warnt gwine ter shut dat neider. Den he said if I warnt gwine ter shut de window down ter shut up. I tole him I warnt gwine to shut up or down, an he said if he got up he war gwine ter knock me down."
 The defendant said he had asked her to shut down the window of his room when she lit the fire Instead of that she lit into him and her language was sul- phurous that he was glad the window was open, otherwise he would have suf- located.
 'I suppose the dove of peace flew out of the window when Sal came in the door," said the judge. "As there is no evil dence to show that she did not light the fire, I will give her the benefit of the doubt, and conclude that the sulphur you smelt was from, the match and not from her matchless language. I will discharge you both, though I hate to discharge peo- pie who are as full of fire and sulphur as you two for fear of an explosion. Now both of you put out your lights-I mean light out.''

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Root Replies to Resolution Concern
 ing Religious Land Holdings.

Washington. February 20-Secretary Root has made answer to the resolution of the Senate, calling on him for informa- ton as to the extent of the holdings of lands by religious orders in the Philip pines, and as to any declaration made by him or obligation assumed respecting the disposition of these lands.
 The secretary says no one in behalf of the United States government has en- tered into any obligation other than that set out in the peace treaty in regard to these lands, nor has any policy been an- nounced.
 The commission has stated the result of it's inquiry under the instructions in volved, and the report is especially clear in the subdivisions "entitled the friars." ''public lands" and Hand titles and reg istration." The commission has especially investigated the islands. Secretary Root cites the report of the first Philippine commission and of Generals Otis and MacArthur as sources of further infor- nation on this subject.
