DIES OF RABIES.
Made Up His Mind Dog Bite Would
Kill Him and 1t Did.

A dispatch from Macon, Ca. to th
Atlanta Journal says the physician
at the city hospital are convinced nov
that the case Of Mr.. William
Tabor, Of Houseton county, was by
drUphobia. Mr.. Tabor died at the hos
pital Saturday night, after being in
state of convulsion from o'clock. Hi
brother, who was with him, says
however, that he thinks nervousness
and mental impression had as muct
to do with the death as anything else
he says his brother William made
up his mind some time ago that the
dos bite would kill him, and be com
menced at orce to arrange for his
death. He wanted to 60 somewhere
else to live, so be would not iniure bis
wife and little ones when he became
violent. No amount Of pursuasion
could make him believe that be would
BOT become violent sooner or later.
There was nothing unusual about the
dog or the bite. 1t was the same kind
of an accident that has befallen hun
dreds Of men In the past, without any
serious conse Quences, but Mr.. Tabor
was sure that the bite would cause bis
death, and be investigated all OF bis
life insurance, and arranged all Of bis
affairs for bis death.
His family tried to get his mind of
the subject, but nothing could change
him. They would not consent to let
him leave home, but Saturday morn.
ing he had his buggy made ready fo1
trip to Macon, and be went into the
house and kissed his family goodby,
saying that he was coming to Macon
to die. He came to the city and drove
to the Office Of DR.. Moore.
The physician bad heard nothin 6
about the case, and could see nothing
unusual with the patient. He inquired
about the symptoms, and was told
that Mr.. Tabor could not endure the
sight Of water. He offered glass OF
water, and Mr.. Tabor drank it. In
Stantly there was a rumbling noise in
the stomach, and great nausea fol-
lowed. Another glass was offered, and
at the sight OF 1t Mr. Tabor went into
convulsions. He was sent to the city
hospital, where be remained until
nigdtfall before any decided symptoms
OF hydrophobia were developed. He
then went into state Of convulsion
which lasted until death relieved him.
The father, two brothers and wife Of
the deceased were with him in his last
hours.
The remains were Thursday sent
to Byron for interment in the family
burying ground. Tabor was only about
26 years Cd. BE was quite active In
business, and had been very success
full. He was engaged in saw milling,
merchandise and farming. Prior to
the bite of the little dog he weighed
nearly 200 pounds, but he lost flesh
steadily from the moment Of the acci-
dent.
The physicians say that one drop Of
his blood after the development OF the
rabies or after bis death would be suf-
6cient to kill fifty men, if it came In
contact with their blood. 1t was one
OF the first cases of rabies ever deVel-
oped at the city hospital, and the
body was handled with such extreme
care that no human hand was allowed
to come in contact with it.

Seven Persons Accused Of Killing .
Woman and Girl.

At Wilkesbarre, Pa, Wednesday
morning the bones Of Mrs. Bigle John.
son and her ten-year-old niece, annie
Benjamin, were exhumed and identi.

body back to the house where th'
mother had finished killing Mrs
Johnson with several blows on th'

child furnished the first clue to th
murder. It showed that she had 5eel
killed on the road and then carrie'
book to the house, where both bodle

A dispatch from St. Petersburg
ays Emperor Nicholas has at last re-
;eiVed Gen. Stoes=ls official report of
he desperate four days assault OF the
'esiegers upon Port Arthur, from Sep
iember 10 to Sept. %, from which it
appears that the unofficial report
from Chefoo was by no means exagge-
| rated. The japanese displayed fren-
1ied bravery, but they lost 10000
men and their only success was the
capture Of two redoubts guarding the
8aterworks. They prepared for the
assault by a general bonbardm ent
and then launched their attacks si-
multaneously from the north and
vest. Night and day they fought
under the cover Of a continual bonn
,ardment from their seige guns and
finally reached the redoubt on the
aorth side, but only after the defenses
there were completely demolished by
SuGu uIS lIOu uue HGSG.
The Japanes efforts were directed
chiefly against the commanding posi-
zion on High mountain, which faces
Pigeon bay, slightly south Of Fort
Else. The mountain is 500 feet high
Ind il it had fallen its possession
would have given the japanese a tre-
nendous lever against the chain Of

they expected about the next day to
storm the sum nit. During the night

mead OF a detachment OF volunteers,

Them up With pyroxylin bombs, pro-
.ucing panic among the besiegers,

strewn with dead. The Japanese
chen abandoned further attempts but
after day or Two to recuperate, ac-
;ording to Gen. Stoessel's second dis
patch, dated Sept. 80, they resumed
The bombardment Of the city and
outer works, and began to construct
zig-zsg approaches. evidently getting

around the fortress. On the night Of
Sept. "a, the japanese, after being
repussed by Lieut. Poggorsky, fed in

Bernhardt Got the Moon.

Mem irs Of Sarah Bernhard In the strand
We had begun the full-dress rehearsals.
In the third act the scene was laid In a
forest glade. In the middle of the stage
was a huge rock upon which was Blanche
(Croizette) kissing Savigny Delaunay), who
was supposed to be my husband l (Berthe
de Savigny) had to arrive by little bridge
over a stream Of water. The glade was
bathed in moonlight. Croizette had just
played her part, and her kiss had been
greeted with a burst Of applause. This was
rather daring in those days for the Coincide
Franchise. But what have they not given
there since then?
Suddenly a fresh burst of applause was
heard. Amusement could be read on many
faces, and Perrin stood up terrified. was

grief and the ball wrap, which was intend

impressive. Suddenly a nasal, aggressive
voice cried out: One moon effect is enough.

stage. Excuse me, M. Perrin" exclaim-

All the artists and all the employees OF

TAKING AN AIR BATH,
An Opportunity Given to Allow the
Skin to Breathe.
From the New York Mall.

From the New York Mall
1t must be remembered that we rarely,
If ever, give our skin the opportunity to
breathe properly Our perverted condition
in regard to heavy, unventilated and often
restricted clothing has given us skin that
is constantly moist, clammy and cold to the
touch. Or else it Is dry and dead and can
Restricted clothing not only damages the
lungs and internal vital organs Of the body,
but causes the circulation to the skin to
become stagnant and poor. A great many
Ills that we do not understand are caused
by the unhygienic practice of smothering
the skin
Give your body an air bath! Reanimate
your skin! This is a splendid time to be-
gin the habit of doing so, since a cold"
need not be feared at this time of the year,
the more severe season. Exposures and
draughts against the body is a superstition
more or less The writer has often stood
before cold draught taking an air bath
in winter and the practice has yielded
days tonic to the body that cannot be ex-
planned but must be tried upon ones own
person to be understood and appreciated.
Open your windows wide and exercise I'M
til the pores have become awakened. Then
let the COOL fresh morning air play upon
your body, lying down If you desire. 1t
miss again. 1t acts as a delightful tonic
to the nerves. There is no better medicine
for weak, nervous people than the air bath.
The very blood tingles with the unaccus-
toned freedom of the body and its contact
with the energtzng air.

oLD-FAsHIoNED NEEDLEWoRK
Cross Stitch and Bead Work as Done
by Our Grandmothers.

From the House Beautiful.
Among the minor developments of the
arts and crafts movement none has been of
greater interest than the revival Of cross
stitchery and beadwork
There is no reason why piece Of cross
stitched canvas or bit of beadwork should
not be as good in it's class as a hammered
bowl or a fooled leather binding The field
is more limited but within its narrow
boundaries the possibilities are equally
great. In our grandmothers time these
limitations were recognized, and this is the
chlef reason why the old work is so good
Beadwork may be divided into two elias
es, that which is founded on Indian motifs
and that which is based on colonial pat
terms. The former is we'll adapted to the
belts and chains with which the. modern
woman adorns herself; the latter Is suited
to the various bags and reticules which
according to the dictates of fashion, are
now being worn. Cross-stitchery has a
wider scope than beadwork and is Of more
lasting interest.
There is something a tri1e incongruous
about the modern bead bag worked in the
stiff roses and impossible landscapes Of
eighty years ago. carried by modern wo-
man in modern clothes The gown and the
bag do not go together, and the woman
herself is little out of line. The picture
is decidedly out of drawing. The old bags
were consistent In the roses and land
scapes our grandmothers expressed their
artistic feeling, and at the time 1t rang
true. However primitive the design, there
was a certain harmony about it. and the
colors were admirably chosen. The beads
that our grandmothers knitted into their
bags and reticules were bright. The good
danes used color, not tones, nor tints, nor
shades, but pure color The old beads were
luminous; the white beads were opales
cent, constantly changing in hue The
brightest blues and reds were quite differ
ent from the thick, opaque-looking articles
offered In the shops today. This Is one
reason why the modern bag, when cleyerly
copied from the old one, is unsatisfactory.
1t has none of the attractive color quantity
OF the old. Then-oh, grievous thing-the
new bag is given glittering silver mount,
and the finishing stroke descends. The
soft silk mount of the old bag was one of
its great attractions.

those who object to the longer sorts. They
