Cow Has Hydrophobia.

Not until yesterday did Oscar May, en-
ployed on the farm of Mrs. Lydia Van
Dyke, near Monmouth Junction, N. j., real
ize what a narrow escape he had from
death twenty-one days ago when he just
escaped being bitten by mad dog. That
day he discovered all of the fifteen cows
in the herd on the farm in great commo-
ton in the barnyard, and on investigating
he found a setter dog trying to bite the
cows and swapping at them. The dog chased
him to the house, where he secured shot
gun and ended the dogs life. Yesterday one
of the cows became mad from the results
of the dogs bite and had to be killed The
COW went swapping about the barnyard and
showed symptoms of hydrophobia. The
others are being watched, and it is feared
they will become victims of hydrophobia
The collar about the dogs neck bore the
letters ~ NJ

viii Chase Thief to China.

Quon Hing & Co., importers of Chinese
fancy teas, silks and groceries in New York
city, were forced to close their store yester-
day because Chinaman had robbed them
of $4,000. The robber, 1t is believed. has
started for China with the money He will
be pursued to that country by Quon Hing.
How the money was taken is not known.
as Mr.. Hing had 1t locked securely in his
safe. Quon Hing is well known, well-to-
do Chinaman, who has done much for the
poor, especially in the case of the Slocum
disaster. He collected from among his
friends large amount for the benefit OF
the sufferers.

The Price Of Silver.

The recent advance in, the price Of silver
calls attention to the Increasing scarcity
of the floating supply Of that metal Bar
silver was quoted yesterday at 81H an
ounce. while Mexican dollars ranged from
4S cents to 4SA. These rather. it was said,
were merely nominal, and any great de-
mand for bars would cause an advance of
the price.
Conditions in the silver market are now
such that the consumer waits on the pro-
Queer.
The war in the far east, the steady abb
sorption by East India, and this country's
increasing trade with China are RESPONSE
BILE, experts say, for this very complete re-
versal Of conditions.

ways and has published his observa-
tons.
The thing WHICH strikes Mr.. Priest
" most forcibly with regard to the
done is the policy of allowing en-
ployees of every grade to conduct their
business, do their work, with as little
from their superior Off
GERS as possible. Mr.. Priestly was
surprised to find the granting of this
discretionary power to be followed
everywhere with most satisfactory re-
suits Officers and employees, he said,
are chosen solely with reference to
their ability to accomplish results.
Mr.. Priestly has undoubtedly de-
scribed that policy of Management of
a complicated business which brings
about the best results and which
should generally prevail. That it is of
practice can we'll be Ques-
toned. There are some railroads, where
it is generally understood this policy
does not prevail as fully as it ought.
1t is nevertheless, unquestionably the
correct policy. and Mr.. Priestly is right
in attributing to it that enthusiasm
and zeal which railway men manifest
in their business.
The same qualities will be found
producing the same results in other
lines of business when employees are
given to understand that the means
by which they accomplish results. if
they be honorable, are comparatively
that the doing of them
and not the way they are done is i'm
pOrtant.
This is an appeal made to human
nature which seldom fails to meet
with a response. 1t is in a certain
sense like placing one upon his honor,
and that is often the strongest appeal
so lacking in personal pride as not to
meet a demand of that kind.
This assertion of individuality and
he exercise of personal judgment and
initiative in emergency, is a powerful
factor in the accomplishment of re-
suits not only in the industrial world
out even in that form of effort where
liSciplinp is supposed to have done
most to eliminate individuality-in the
service. But even here the
lier is distinguished for his disposition
and his ability to do most of his fight
ing according to ideas and plans evolv-
ed under his own hat
