WE'D DESPITE FATHERS WISHES
Oscar Hines Says He Has Been
Annoyed Ever Since.

Love has proven stronger than religious
and race prejudice In the case Of Oscar H.
Hines. better known as kid" Hines. a
lightweight pugilist. who married into an
old Kentucky family a year ago against
the wishes Of his father. because his bride
was a Gentle and his family are Jews.
Hines Is now in Jail on a charge Of dis
turbing the peace, his accuser being his
father, Isaac Hines. Of No. $50 North Four
teenth street.
After returning from service In the
Philippines in Company F Of the First Cali
fornia Volunteers Hines met Miss Annette
Mosley in Paducah, KY. in March. 1890. It
was a case of love at first sight. and
Hines soon won her consent to become his
wife. The marriage was celebrated in May.
two months after the first meeting. and
the young pugilist then renowned the prize
ring.
Hines arrived in st. Louis from Paducah
two weeks ago, and secured employment as
a barber in the Lindell Hotel. He says he
met his brother-in-law, Harry Harris, Mon
day evening. and was asked to go to his
fathers house. Harris. he says. promised
to bring about n reconciliation between
himself and his father. Hines says that
at the door his father met him and or
dered him away. A few minutes later he
was arrested on a charge of disturbing his
fathers peace. Hines says that this is the
third time he has been arrested on COM
plant Of his relatives because he married

RABIES DEVELOPED SLOWLY.
Old Man, Bitten in February, Ha:
Hydrophobia Now.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. April 29.-George Smith. one of
The residents of the Totowa
District Of Paterson, N. J., is suffering
from hydrophobia. The indications of rab-
les were not seen until Thursday. The bite
which was the cause was inflicted about
two months ago. So ill is Mr.. Smith that
his friends have given up hopes Of his re-
covery. He is e years old.
Mr.. Smith has always been noted for his
fondness for dogs. One afternoon about the
middle of February he was in the front
yard of his home at No. 467 Preakness ave-
nue.. when a strange St. Bernard dog
trotted into the yard. He seemed Of a
kindly disposition. and Mr.. Smith put out
his hand to pat him on the head.
The animal sprung at Mr.. Smith. inflict-
ing severe wounds on the chin. cheek and
shoulders. A physician sewed up the
; wounds. which,. 1t was thought. would soon
heal. Mr.. Smith scented the idea OF hydro
phobia.
Mr.. Smith was suffering from an attack
of rheumatism on Thursday, and his son
! handed him q glass of wine. He at once
went into a spasm. Those around him We're
some one came with a glass of water. The
old man shrunk from 1t in terror. Medical
assistance was at once and the
case was pronounced by the doctors as
rabies
1t was intended Friday to send the old
man to the Pasteur Institute, in New York,
but it was decided that it was too late to
apply the treatment. and now the family
are hourly expecting death.

scare.
Jack Frost and the April Fool. in their
bungling way, attempted Tuesday morning
to perpetrate one Of their untimely jokes
upon Weather Forecaster Hyatt.
81 we'll did their scheming succeed that
Doctor Hyatt is or the verge OF meteoro-
logical hysteria. which explains In part the
unsettled weather of Monday. Jack Frost
at this time is bopularly supposed to be on
his way to the North Pole. Monday morn
ing he gained entrance to Doctor Hyatt's
sanctum and hid behind the door. When
the weather wizard appeared Jack so fright
ened the man with the round square that he
nearly collapsed. He spent the rest of the
morning recovering from the effects OF the
shock and forgot all about the weather I'M
til nearly noon. Then he began to pull tho
wires. and as a punishment set Jack Frost
to work shoveling fog off the roof OF the
Federal building.
"Barometrical conditions all over the
country are at a standstill," said the good
Doctor. Monday, and weather forecasts
partake more of the nature of a speculation
than anything else. A queer thing Is hap
pening in the east. The low which has
brought the disastrous floods in Ohio and
Pennsylvania Is not moving eastward as It
should. nor yet does it remain stationary.
On the contrary, it seems to be reaching
west. It brought rain on Monday at In
dianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. I hardly
believe that it will get as far west as st.
Louis. The same high which arrived here
three days ago is still with us and shows no
signs Of leaving. The two lows which
threatened Sunday have been forced back.
