PASTEUR TREAT MENT
FOR HYDROPHOBIA
Interesting Statistics in Vienna In
Stitute's Report.

The large number of hydrophobia cases
will lend interest to the record OF the
Pasteur treatment in Austria, which is
published in the last number of the
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service Magazine" The report comes
from Consul Hossfeld at Trieste, under
date OF May 6. as follows:
THE Pasteur Institute at Vienna has
just issued it's annual report for 1901
The number of persons treated during
the year was $50. namely. 112 men. 81
women, and III children. One hundred
applicants were refused admission, some
because 1t was found that the dogs by
which they had been bitten were not
fiicted had not been severe enough to
draw blood. Three of the $50 persons
treated died. Also a girl who had been
treated at the institute in 1900 and had
been discharged as having passed the
crisis died during the year under report
in spite of the treatment received.
There have been treated in all 1,522
persons at the Vienna Institute since its
establishment about ten years ago. OF
this number only 20, or 1-3 per cent,
have died
THE vital statistics of Austria show
that 20 persons died IN the empire from

had been inoculated with the Pasteur
serum. 1t Is also worthy of note that

ELEPHANT TELLS WHY
COAL PRICES WENT UP
eve Decided That We Could Get
Higher Prices"

NEW YORK, June 9-Robert NJ. Oily
plant. who recently resigned the presi-
dency of the Delaware and Hudson Rail
road, was witness before the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday in the
inquiry into the charge that the coal
carrying roads have violated and arc
violating the anti-pooling section of the
Sherman antitrust law.
Mr. ELEPHANT testified that the Della
ware and Hudson owns about 10 per
cent Of the unmined coal in the anthra-
cite region, or $4,000 acres He said the
average cost of mining coal in 1901 was
S1-40 to $145 per ton. Since the strike
the cost has increased to s1.75 ton
Mr.. Olyphant said that he doubted
whether his company made any money
when ccal was selling in New York at
81 or less: but he admitted that for the
last ten years the profits of the company
have been about per cent
Then what has raised the price of
coal?" Mr.. Shearn asked.
The devilishness of the miners
But why did you increase the price %
counsel asked. "if you were making q
fair profit at the old price,"
We decided we could get the higher
price and that the exigencies of the
trade justified the demand. We could get
higher price If we asked for it,"

MRS. EDDY FOUNDER OF
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Disputes Ralph Waldo Emerson's Title
to This Distinction.

Recent statements that Ralph Waldo
Emerson is the author of Christian Sci
ence have called forth a statement from
Mrs Mary Baker G. Eddy, IN which she
says;
In 1888 I started the Christian Sci
ence Journal and for several years was
the proprietor and sole editor OF that
journal IN 1898 Judge S. ]. Hanna be-
came editor OF the Christian Science
Journal and for ten subsequent years
he knew my ability as an editor. In his
recent lecture at Chicago he said: Mrs.
Eddy is, from every point of view, a
woman of sound education and liberal
culture
The first attack upon me was, Mrs
Eddy misinterprets the Scriptures; sec
ond. she has stolen the contents of her
book. Science and Health, With Key to
the Scriptures from one P P. Quimby
ian obscure, uneducated mani, and he IS
the founder of Christian Science. Fail
ing in these attempts. the calumniator
has resorted to Ralph Waldo Emerson's
philosophy as the authority for Chris
tian Science, Lastly, the defamer will
declare as honestly CD I have always
known it.
II claim no special merit of any kind.
All that I am in reality God has made
me. I still wait at the cross to learn
definitely more from my great Master,
but not of the Greek nor OF the Roman
schools-simply how to do His deeds"

FAREWELL BANQUET
TO GOVERNOR MERRIAM
rendered by His Late Associates in
Census Bureau.

Gov. William R. Merriam. who re-
tired yesterday as Director of the Cen
sus. was the guest of honor last night
al the New Willard. at a banquet ten
dered him by those who have been
niosf closely associated with him In the
conduct of the office. Edward McCauley.
chief clerk. and for time Acting Dr.
rector, presided at the banquet.
Mr. McCauley introduced Governor
Merriam in short speech. in which he
referred TO the pleasant relations which
had existed between the Director and
his subordinates, and the pleasure they
bad found in working under him.
DR.. S. n. D. North. the new Director
then made short address. He compn-
mented the governor highly on his sue
cess as Director. He laid great stress
on the fact that while the last census
had been the most complete and detailed
over taken. thereby presenting a wider
Eelc for the critics. there had been less
complaint about the method of taking
the census and the results obtained
than about any similar undertaking in
the history OF the Office.
Another point upon which DR.. North
dwelt at length was the fact that Gov
ernor Merriam had completed the cen
sus in the two years prescribed by law,
which he thought a great triumph for
the Director when the magnitude of the
work was considered.
DR.. Merriam replied briefly to DR..
North. He gave the credit for his sue
cess to the activity and loyalty OF the
people over whom he had charge and
thanked them for their operation.
He touched on the wonderful industrial
activity OF the age and expressed conf
dence in the practical value of which
the permanent census will be to the
country.
Others who spoke were J. w. langley.
appointment clerk; William c. Hunt,
L. G. Powers, w. NJ. Stewart, and Dr.
David T. Day.
In the course OF the evening a hand
some silver pitcher was presented TO
