Completely Stamped Out.

There is no hydrophobia in England
or Australia. This happy state of af-
fairs has been brought about by medi-
cal science and legislation combined.
One of the fundamental principles Of
rabies Is that no animal can contract
the disease unless 1t comes in contact
with another animal afflicted with 1t.
1t does not develop in an animal from
any circumstances of nature. but Is
transmitted from one to another by
contact. In England and Australia the
disease was first completely stamped
out by drastic measures and then leg
islation was called into service to reg
ulate the importation of CANNES. If a
tourist desires to take a pet dog into
England the animal is quarantined for
several days. during which 1t Is ex-
amined by experts. This is to ascer-
tain IL the animal has rabies, and &C
counts for the fact that rabies are so
rare.

Hid In the Clock.

hiu the AhOCks
By this time the guerrillas were at
the door, clamoring for admittance.
Then it was that an idea came to the
distressed girl.
'The old clock. Reuben; get into
that" she said; at Is plenty large, and
they will never discover you there"
The young man lost no time In clam
bering into the barrel of the clock, and
his sweetheart fastened the door. Then,
with a lighter heart, she admitted the
guerrillas, who were growing and
cursing at the delay.
Filing through the long hall into the
coy sitting room, they took seats and
demanded refreshments. Patsy left
to comply with their demands. but she
had hardly left the dining room when
she heard the guerrillas raving and
cursing and the report Of firearms.
Realizing the worst. she hurried
back and reached the hall just In time
to witness the numerous outlaws
dragging the dead body of her lover
from the old clock. At this juncture
again came the tramp Of horses, fol-
lowed by more firing and commotion,
and then to Patsy came a blank.
For weeks the girl lowered between
life and death, a victim to brain fever
When the disease left her she was but
a wreck Of her former self. When she
grew stronger they told her that she
had neglected to conceal her lovers
overcoat and gloves. That the guer-
rillas discovered them and instituted a
search for the young soldier. That the
latter threw open the door Of the
clock, presumably with the hope Of
making his escape, when he was shot
and instantly killed. About this time
detachment Of young Morehead's
command swooped down upon the
guerrillas and put them to flight.
This story reads like fiction, but,
nevertheless, every word of 1t Is true.

chinery, stands in the self-same spot

Deadlock is Broken.

Ottawa. Ont, Sept. 5.-The deadlock
between the government and the oppo-
sltion in the house was broken at 11;25
tonight, when Mr.. Mon. the acting
leader of the opposition, suggested
mat the section of the transcontinen-
tai bill under discussion be left over
and that four others following should
be adopted.
This was agreed to by the govern
ment, and the bill will not be taken up
again for a week, so as to give MI
Borden, the leader of the opposition
who is i'll, an opportunity of being
present. The settlement reached was
compromise. The house adjourned
Immediately afterward.

BOYCOTT REMOVED.
Chicago Packing Houses Now Sell to
Union Shops.

Chicago, Sept 5.-Threatened with
prosecution under an injunction OBJ
tanned by the federal government at
Chicago, the packing concerns this
morning issued orders to their agents
throughout the country to withdraw
boycott on union meat shops and sell
to everybody who had money.
This action was primarily due to a
complaint made by the Rochester
Butchers Union, but similar COM
plants were received from a number
of the Pacific coast points. The injunc-
ton against the packers strictly pro-
hibited of pooling or discriminating in
selling.
In the Rochester cast, as in the 9TH
ers complained about, the packers re-
fused to sell meat to retailers who
signed the union scale. '

AMERICA CONCERNED.
Said She Must Take Part in Turkish
Question.

London. Sept. 5.-The Morning Post
publishes a letter from it's Constan-
tinople correspondent, in which he dis
cusses the Beirut affair and the posi-
ton of the American missionaries in
Asia Minor. He says.
Things have arrived at a crisis
The United States must either insist
upon the Porte listening to it's repre-
sensations regarding American con-
yerts or drop the missionaries alto
gether The latter course is naturally
impossible and the sending of squad
ron has great significance as showing
a determination on the part of Ameri-
ca to take an active part in the Turk
ish question. One result of this step
will probably be to induce the sultan
to raise his representatives at Wash
ington to the rank of ambassador so
that the United States can be equally
represented here.
AT present America is at decided
disadvantage in this respect compared
with the other first-class powers. NO
body can quite foresee the ultimate at
titude of the United States, but it is
almost certain that her weight will in
cline on the side of the Christian
against the Turk. At the same time,
as a matter of Importance to Great
Britain, America is almost bound TO
oppose the descent of Russia on the
Dardanelles, because in religious mat
ters the Turk is more tolerant than the

orphan, who had been reared by a
neighboring farmer. Patsy had known
him all her life, and had loved him as
far back as she could remember.
The war broke out and Reuben took
up arms for the North. Then followed
sad days for the young girl. Her ia
ther sickened and died. and her only
brother was In the far South, battling
for the Confederacy. Thus she was
left with only the faithful negro slaves
and nephew barely In his teens.
At this time the neighborhood was
full of guerrillas. "Sue" Mundy and
his gang were terrorizing that entire
section, and soldiers and civilians alike
were falling at their hands. The out
laws were frequently at the Colerain
house, and. while Patsy never suffered
any indignities from them, she was in
constant terror lest she might.
One rainy night liz April, 1864. Miss
Colerain was sitting before a cheerful
fire, her mind busy with thoughts Of
her absent lover, when suddenly the
door opened and young Morehead, at

fore her. Before she could speak the
young soldier caught her in his arms
and showered kisses upon her blushing
face.

Washington, Sept. 8.-The state de-

thp Washington government would
enter into no engagement which would
hamper the presidents freedom of ac-

cablegram stated, though it has been
the basis for speculative reports about
Mr.. Beaupre's situation.

one of dignified patience. Nm indi-

department thhat the Colombian con-
gress already is regretting it's hasty
action in rejecting the treaty, but the
state department Will suggest no rem

Once and for all the state depart
ment has announced that the treaty,

eminent, was ratified by the American
