For three days the entire row OF tene-

dog suffering from rabies. Early to-
day. when the dog began rushing about

OF the Delaney street station were
called upon and Policeman August

she had almost reached its tail It turned

retreated, and the dog made its way out

The children fed below stairs, locking
the scuttles after them. Then the dog
took possession of the roofs for the en-

tenements by this n little dog, not

MALIGNING THE RACE BY
 THE MODERN STAGE JEW

against faults and weaknesses of the race, which are, in almost every instance, unjustly magnifed and grossly over- drawn.
 There is no excuse for this dramatic treatment of the Hebrew. Jewish history is repete with noble lives and deeds of heroism and self-sacrifice. From the story of Genesis down to the present-day dis patches the Jew has been a central figure in the great drama of the worlds pro- gress. He has supplied the motif, the toll, the matryrdom and the bloody sweat of the world tragedies. He has poured his blood as a libation upon the altars of Christianity. He gave to civilization the laws and the prophets, and from the lips of a Jew came the words of wisdom which constitute the truest phil osophy of life. It was Jew who stood upon the cloud-capped summit of Sinai and from the hands of Jehovah himself handed down the ten commandments as a rule of conduct for the sons of men. A Jew was the hero of the Sublime Ira. gedy; a Jews star shone at Bethlehem, Jews soul was tortured at Bethlehem, mane and the Jewish race gave to the world its Savior

Early MOrninu Trains.

The starting of an early mornin, train northward to Decatur is addi tional evidence of the desire of tht Louisville and Nashville to meet the wishes of it's patrons. This great road which fairly permeates this district is building great yard at Boyles, and is from time to time extending it's lines to new mines or factories. This dis trict and the "L & N" are indissolubly linked together, the one serving the other at every turn.
 The new Decatur train is especially gratifying, because it goes far towards the perfecting of the train service from this city. In short time every road will start train in the early morning and run one into the city in the fore noon hours. When man in the city can go out one hundred miles to trans act business, returning home in the evening, and when a citizen living one hundred miles can come to this city to buy or to sell, returning home in the evening, then indeed our train service will be complete, and this is what the new Decatur train means.

Dan Patch's Driver.

''M. E. McHenry, who has driven Dan Patch, the worlds fastest pacer In all his record-breaking races, will be in Bir- mingham this morning with the horse, and all horseme1 here should meet him, " said a we'll known man yesterday
 Probably there Is no driver in the world who has had more success with horses than MT. McHenry, as will be shown by his training Dan Patch to go a mile in 1:56k4, time which a year ago was thought almost in the distant impos- sible.
 Besides being a great driver. MT Me Henry is a very clever fellow and stands high in the secret order world. He will drive Dan at the fair grounds track on Friday against the worlds record of 2:O3Ia for a half mile track.
 "If there are any people in Birming- ham who have an opportunity to see this speed, and fail to do so they show lack of appreciation of a great sight Imagine one's feelings when he see a horse flash under the wire and knows that he has gone a mile in less than any other horse in the world under similar circum- stances. It's we'll worth seeing"

WORSE THAN WAR.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Civilization Is a queer thing. The sleep ing car blanket and such like dissemina- tors of disease as the plush street car cushion and the feather duster would be impossible in some lands which we count far beneath us in the scale of advance ment. What thoughtess indifference tol- crates them among us is hard to under stand. They are more fatal than war, pestilence and famine. Only their dead ly work is done quietly. Dramatic death Is required to arouse our languid interest. Yet poison and the dagger are childish playthings besides the pathogenic germ. And it has no more congenial hiding place than in the Pullman blanket. or that filthy, poisonous token of corporate self ishness, the ancient plush traction car cushion.

From Skiho Castle.

The same steamer that brought MT. Carnegie back to these shores, also brought letter addressed to The Age Herald with the words "Skibo Castle" where the old-time seal was once placed. Letters from castles are not everyday occurrences in The Age-Her- aids mail, and the letter was opened with some degree of interest to say the least.
 An editorial published in June was found therein, and the following pas sage in it was red-pencilled in loop: MT. Carnegie Is rather freely criticized because he insists that the library that he assists shall in every case be The Car negie Library thus becoming a monu- ment to himself, although in the long run the people shall have spent upon it much more than his gift. There is very little in the objection"
 At the head of the article, on the clipping bureaus slip, were scrawled
 
 these words: Nonsense. MT. Carnegie denies this" The article as whole commends MT .Carnegie's library gifts and favorably compares him to the world of millionaires in general.
 MT. Carnegie plainly desires it to be known that he does the better part of the giving in every library that bears his name For example, if he gives a town $100,0O0 for public library, re- uuiring that town to pay $5000 year towards the support of the library, he gives the more because the annual ap, propriation by the town but equals the interest on the sum given by MT. Car negie, leaving MT. Carnegie a clear benefactor of the original sum over and above all other donations and ap- populations. Looked at in this way, Mir. Carnegie is correct. He, however,

Rivers and Harbors.

MT. Burton comes back from Europe fully determined to prepare a rivers and harbor3 bill and present it to the i house, regardless of the determination of Speaker-tobe Cannon and other bosses to create an impression of econ omy by keeping down appropriations until after election day in November of next year.
 MT. Cannon will scarcely go so far as to refuse to reappoint Mr Burton and his associates of like views to the rivers and harbors committee, and they will assuredly bring the subject before the house, and Messrs. Under wood and Bankhead will certainly sup port MT. Burton in his contention.
 To delay for mere election purposes public works upon which millions have been spent and upon the use of which millions are waiting in expectancy, is more than a blunder-it is almost crime, and it is to be hoped that the demagogic policy of the bosses in the house will be thwarted
 MT. Burton stands so high in the house and before the country that MT. Cannon will not invite the issue, for the subject of the one-man-power in the house is live one, and 1t will cer- tainly be called up and discussed if any attempt is made to squelch rivers and harbors bill.
 All the locks and dams in the War rior are valueless because half dozen more are not put in, and the Warrior is but an example of other public works of like nature. The Cannon policy y.A deceive no one, and congress should have the courage to do it's duty regardless of campaign maneuvers.
