horns are cold, hair stands out,
animal stupid and very weak
This may be followed by great
uneasiness, paving and kicking
and labored breathing; the ami
NAL may moan as if in much
pain; discharges show blood.
The animal gets weaker, spots
of blood may appear on mucous
membranes, or blood flow from
nose and mouth. In one or two
days death ensues. The third
form of disease resembles the
second. the symptoms less mark
ed; the animal may recover or
die in three to seven days.
After death bloating and de-
composition are rapid. Blood
stained fluid flows from mouth
and nose in small quantities On
opening the carcass it will be
found that nearly all organs are
sprinkled with spots of blood.
The spleen is greatly enlarged.
The blood is thick, not firmly
coagulated, and blackish in col
or. Swellings may be found un-
der the skin.
The report quoted says that
almost every drug has been used
as a cure, generally proving use
less and Intellectual. Vaccination
is recommended as an effectral
preventive. The injection OF
iodine into the blood in as ,arge
quantities as can be tolerated by
the system gives good results in
the treatment of cases appear
ing in human beings, and equal
lv so in the treatment of ami
mails whose value justifies the
amount of attention required.
Here ends our quotation from
official sources.
This is one of the remedies pro-
posed: One cup stove SCOT, six
eggs, one pint raw linseed oil,
one cup salt; mix well and
drench; if not better within
twelve hours repeat the dose.
Of its medicinal qualities we are
not qualified to speak, but it is
said TO have proved itself val
liable remedy. Blackleg is anoth-
er danger in srockraising count
ries. A recommended preventive
of this, and possibly effective in
such a blood disease as anthrax,
is the feeding, in bran, of guam
titles of sulphur and salt. Anti
mony is sometimes put with this
mixture.-Bishop Register,

OF INTEREST TO sTOCkMfN
What an Authority Says About Anthrax, the
Dread Cattle Disease.

oneep, cattle and horses are SuS-
ceptlble to it in the order named,
while hogs, rabbits, mice and
other animals die quickly from
its effects. Man may be attack
ed by it, but not always with
results as fatal as is the general
rule with the lower animals.
Fowls, also, may contract it.
though not liable to do so. 1t
has been known since earliest
written history, though only in
recent years has such knowledge
taken an accurate and scientific
form. The baccilli, recognized
as the medium of incubation,
accumulate in greater numbers
in the liver, the spleen and small
er organs than in the muscular
tissues. The germs, thrown off
in various ways by the infected
animal, retain their vitality for
a long period; they resist ordi-
nary putrefaction, are unchang-
ed by moisture, and are not af-
fected by moderate heat. If
buried in the body of an animal
which has died from anthrax,
they may live for years, and be
brought to the surface to infect
other animals. In one record
case, an outbreak was caused
from bacilli in the body of an
animal buried in that spot sew
.enteen years before. If scatter
ed with the debris of a dead an
imal, they may be washed to the
roots of grass in a pasture, or
carried to lower grounds, to
make trouble long afterwards.
The spores Iemain in the hides of
animals which have died, and
retain their vitality even through
all the working incident to max
ing finished leather from such
hide. Infection may take place
in many ways; generally through
contact of the spores with
abraded surfaces, or through the
mucous membrane of a sound
animal. 1t may occur through
the animal eating grass on which
the spores exist, or through cat
ing hay so affected. 1t may also
be carried BY flies and insects
If contained in harness leather
it needs but an abrasion of the
skin against which the leather
rubs to inoculate the animal. A
case is reported in which agroom
contracted the disease through a
break of the skin on the back of
his hand, the spores entering the
system from the leather strap on
the back of the brush. All this
NAV sound like exaggeration,
but it is taken from a govern
ment report, in which fairy tales
and Jokes do not appear. The
disease is said to be prevalent IN
many parts of California and
Nevada at the present time, and
wherever it is found, the Writ
lence of its germs makes it evil
dent that the most careful and
effectual attention should be Civ
en- to the destruction of animals
which have died from it.
The disease occurs in three
forms, The most rapidly fatal
usually occurs in the beginning
of an outbreak, which is most
ant to occur during a hot, dry
Summer. In this form the ami
NAL drops dead without previ-
ous indication of disease. In the
second form high fever comes;
ch;lls and musculor tremors may
come; the ears. and base 'ot

EMPHASIZE REQUEST.
Georgetown Citizens DESTROYS Of Secur-
ing Public Park.

Mr.. Smith Thompson, jr., chairman of the
park committee Of the Georgetown Citizens
Association has written to the District
Commissioners acknowledging receipt OF
their notification that the grounds of the
Western High School may not be used for
park purposes on account of the adverse
recommendation Of the board of education.
Mr.. Thompson says the people of George
town regret the decision, but it serves the
purpose of emphasizing with more partic-
ular stress the urgency and Importance OF
securing for the citizens of that community
the square bounded by 33d, 34th, @ and X
streets as a public park
I'VE, therefore, again take this oppor-
tunity," says Mr.. Thompson, Ito seek to
enlist the hearty support and cooperation
of the Commissioners in the endeavor of
the Georgetown Citizens Association to
provide a breathing space for the people OF
this section of the city, the locality being
wholly unprovided for in that direction"
Commissioner Mcfarland has moved the
submission of the matter of the purchase of
the square to the Engineer Commissioner
with request for estimate of the amount
necessary for it's acquisition as a park by
purchase or condemnation for consideration
in preparation of the annual estimates for

CIRCUS LABoRERs STRIKE.
Barnum & Bailey's Employees Delay
Departure From City.

strike developed last night among the
canvasmen and laborers of the Barnum &
Bailey circus, and a consequence the
big show was delayed several hours in get
ting away from the city. The strike was
attributed to the refusal of the circus to
grant an increase of s. a month in the
wages of the men, and $50 of the laborers
thereupon decided to quit work. More than
hundred extra hands, consisting Of hang
ers-on about the show, were pressed into
service, and the tents were taken down,
the wagons loaded and the circus para
phernalia was hauled to the railroad yards,
where 1t was placed aboard the cars. The
show departed for Baltimore about day
light this morning.
There was a detail of forty policemen at
the grounds last night when the men went
on strike, and there was no serious trouble
The only case of violence that was noticed
occurred about IL o'clock when one of the
laborers who did not strike was assaulted
Whether or not the man was struck by
striker was not learned.
1t was stated that the canvasmen who Ie-
manned with the show have reached an
agreement for the entire crew of canvas
men and helpers to go on strike in Balti-
home today unless their demands are
granted.
The laborors with the circus, it is said
have been endeavoring to form an organi-
cation. They made their request for an
increase in wages yesterday morning, and
the management of the show advertised for
1CO extra men in anticipation of the strike

Miss Holtzanan's Recital.

"A recital announced by Miss Frances Lee
Holtzman was given at the Lafayette
Square Opera House yesterday afternoon
before fairly good sized but eminently
enthusiastic audience. Miss Hoffman was
assisted by Sig. Campanari, the well-known
baritone, and Miss Janet Spencer, contralto
Miss HoltZman is asWashington young wo-
man who has spent many years abroad In
the cultivation of hsr vpice and now comes
forward as professional singer. Her
NUMBERS were an aria from Bemberg' 8
opera La Mort de- Jean dare" a group
OF songs by Tschaikowsky, Saint-Saens and
Bemberg, two songs by Henschel, and, with
Sig. Campanar, the seventh scene from

and again and loaded with flowers, and
sang as an encore to her aria Gounod's
Sing, Smile, Slumber"
MISS spencer, who sang here with Miss
Holtzman at her first recital confirmed the
pleasant impression she then made. Her
voice is fuH and rich in quality and of I'M
usual Hex1pility for a contralto, as was es-
Psciany nouceable in the Rossini aria, Mon
Flu Mesta, which was given with splendid
eHect. She. was literally applauded and
received many floral tributes. Her num-
pers, beside the aria already mentioned
were TWO songs by Saint Saens and one by
Lalo all of which were artistfcally given.
Her encores were Fishers "Gae to Sleep"
and another Scotch ballad.
1t was Campanari, however, who excited
the greatest enthusiasm. His glorious
voice was never heard to better advantage
GEAR, rich, resonant of apparently unlim-
lted power and range. his natural endow-
ment has been trained in the best school

temperament. His very first number,
which. by the way opened the program,

number included Kronitz's "Lalbo dAmore"
