An Epidemic of Rabies I'M St
Mary Parish.
Daily Picayune.

Franklin, La, May 8.-The lit
tie community of Sorrel, in the
upper portion of the parish, near
the Iberia line, was the scene of
great excitement day before yes
terday, due to the presence of a
dog supposed to be mad with ra-
bies. In brief time it succeeded
in biting thirteen people, including
Mrs. Hardy, her daughter and
son-in-law, Mr.. CASTOR Guibateau,
three children of Mr.. Lancon, a
child of Mr.. Holloman, MIR. Robi-
cheaux and three little negroes.
These people, under the care of
DIR. l.. G. Perot, of Charenton,
have been sent to the Pasteur In
stitute at Baltimore at the expense
of the parish. The dogs head was
taken also, to be examined by the
specialists.
. A demented boy was bitten in
Baldwin about a month ago by a
dog supposed to be mad. He was
sent to this Institute, and has since
returned, apparently free from any
harm.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
HOME INDUSTRY.

The question of home industry
was one which was very much dis
'cussed 10y many of our people this
week, and'in this case, like in all
.others, there are two sides to it.
We are of opinion thatfshe peo-
Iple of a. community who are earn
ming living in that community,
sowes his business and trade to that
community, anil should at all times
sand always give preference ito the
hOme industries.
Now on the other hand the home
industries, to have right to claim
the home petronize should be ina
position to meet outside COMPETE
tion prices.
When any one in a community
wants anything he should get the
prices and the quality of the home
industries compared, and for a
small difference, should remain
with the home people.
The person who has something
to sell will always try to make as
much profit as possible, and the
buyer will always try to buy at
the lowest prices, we work for
money, and only really earn what
we can save, and should blame no
'one to try and save as much as
possible.
In the matter of fire insurance
Tor instance, the rates in some
sections of this town are ridicu-
'lously high, being We believe.
40 per cent. Such rates are pro-
ihibitive, and some of those people
who have to pay such high rates,
ARE always looking for the agency
that will cut the rates down, and
'some of them, out side concerns.
cut good deal of the rates off,
and in this way get some outside
business.
AT the same rate for insurance.
at the same price for goods of all
kinds, and the same in all other
lines, including printing, should
remain at home, even at a slight
advance, and this should be made
the rule regardless of religious
creed or political affiliations.
But we can never blame anv
one for looking to his personal in
-terest first. We have to be up
with the progressive world and we
have to meet outside prices to
keep all our trade home.
We can and should do it. and
when We do this, we are satisfied
we will hear of no more comp)aint

OLD GUARD FAIR.
Executive Committee Busy
Planning for a Big Success
The Rifle Range.

During the month of September the
executive fair committee of the Old
Guard Fair, which will fill Madison
Square Garden from the floor of its
basement to the roof, Throughout the week
of October to 10, has planned to have
"open house" every evening at the Old
Guard Armory,, Broadway and Forty
ninth street, where the general commit
tee and all the subcommittee that are
getting busy building the fair, can rem
devious. During the month of August
the stay-at-homes have been meeting
every Monday evening and devising many
features of the Fair which will add to
its attractions and swell the profits to
form the nucleus of their armory building
fund.
The latest Subcommittee appointed by
Major S. Ellis Briggs, chairman of the
executive committee and Commandant
of the Old Guard, is the rifle range com
mittee. This important committee will
be headed by Colonel Leslie G. Bruce,
of the Old Guard, who, more than any
other one man, made possible the sending
of an American rifle team, of which he
was the captain, to Bisley, England,
and defeated the picked sharpshooters of
allscompeting civilized nations and placed
Uncle Sam in secure possession, prob
ably for a long time to come, of the
Palma trophy. Among Colonel Bruce's
able colleagues is Lieutenant Thomas H.
Keller, who plays valuable part in the
triennial successes Of the National shoot
ing festival which, in 1904, will be held
at Union Hill, N. J.. The rifle range
committee, besides Colonel Bruce and
Lieutenant Keller, is composed Of Cap
tain George B. Libbey, Captain T. W.
Timpson, Lieutenant Fred w. Seybel,
Mr.. Fred T. Alder, Mr.. james Nc
Nevin, Lieutenant G. H. Rockwell, Cap
tain James c.. Summers, Lieutenant
James w. Miller and Lieutenant Lee
R. Townsend, secretary Of the Commit
tee.
The rife range committee is designing
its ranges on the order Of those made
popular in the basement of Madison
Square Garden during some of the an
nual sportsmen's shows, and promises
to produce the best programme of events
and prizes, including series of events
for newspaper men, for an indoor rife
and revolver shooting meet ever contem-
plated on Manhattan Island.
