SLIGHT WOUND
Dog Bit a Ten Year Old Boy at
Mayfield.
Six Weeks Elapsed and Today He
Was Brought Here For the
Mad Stone.

Mr.. J. F. Sullivan and wife. Of
Mayfeld, KY, arrived this morning
early with John, their four-year.old
boy. who was bitten on the forehead
about six weeks ago by q dog. The
wound has now entirely healed. but
the parents Of the younseter, who had
read the various foolish superstitions
and motions" about people going
mad" months after being bitten,
came to Paducah and wanted Captain
Joe Fowler's mad stone applied to the
place.
The dog that bit the child was evi.
IDENTIFY rabid. they say. 1t BIT a pup
and pig the same day. and both
shortly afterwards died after exhibit
ing every symptom Of rabies.
The slight scratch ON the boys fore.
head healed, however, and he is sp-
parently all right The parents were
. sdvised that the only way the mad
stone could be applied would be by
cutting open the scar. which would be
foolish. and the boy would probably
have no trouble from the wound.

PANAMA WILL ASK ANNEXATION.
(st. Louis Globe Democrat.

lSt. Louis Globe Democrat
\ free port will be at the Atlantic
and also at the Pacific end of The Unit
ed States ten mile wide strip across
the Panama isthmus. Admiral Walker
of the Panama canal commission tells
this. and he knows. Probably a third
of the entire business done at the 18th
mus when the work Of canal construc-
ton gets actively under way will be
done inside of the United States strip
Probably two thirds or three-fourths Of
all activities of the isthmus will be
along or near that strip after the canal
gets into operation. The two United
States ports will immeasurably surpass
the ports of the Panama republic in
the, extent of their commerce.
This will mean that the people Of
Panama will ask annexation to the
United States at a very early day. An
nexation is inevitable in any case. Ii
was decreed just as soon as this coun-
try got its canal treaty with the per
petual possession of the territory foi
five miles along each side of the canal
throughout its entire length. The re-
public of Panama has approximately
| "a 900 square miles of territory and a
population of 100000. She has Maine
area and little less than half o!
Names population, or about the same
number as Vermont. Standing alone,
the Panama republic is feeble, except
as she is braced up by the United State
proteetorate.
Panama's interests will quickly in
| cite movement for annexation. A
part of the United States-a territory
for few years and state afterward
Panama will be able to make her
mark in the world. When the stars ant
stripes are raised all over the it'll
republic, that 100000 population will
soon double and triple itself. The 18th

foreign capital will How into Panama IN
streams which will surprise its inhabi
tants. The present population will 500;
be largely outnumbered by a diiferen
sort of race from that which has in
habited the isthmus heretofore, and
new career will be opened to her PEG
pie. All this destiny is pretty NANTES
to the United States and to the world,
The brightest day in Panama's annal'
thus far was the day in which, through
her canal treaty, she came under the
guardianship Of the United States and
started ON the road to annexation.

Cannibalism among dogs is rare oe-
currence, but a case was discovered in
Paducah yesterday afternoon by school
boys returning home from school in the
north end of the city.
1t will be remembered that last week
Osborne Travis, colored, an old grave
d gger who resides in "Mooretown."
near the cemetery, was sent to the Hop
kinsville asylum. His house he closed
.prior to his arrest and unknown to the
neighbors. locked in his four dogs.
Yesterday afternoon school boys heard
faint yelping and going to the window
of the negro cabin saw three half-starv-
I'd dogs lying on the floor, one whim-
pering. They burst open the door and
a siekening sight met their gaze. On
,hc floor Law the half eaten carcass of a
dog and ON the floor nearby lay the threc
dogs, too nearly starved and famished
fer want OF water to move about. When
the door was opened they got up. stag
gtred few times and fell back again
too weak to walk. The boys went IN
and carried the dogs out into the fresf
air, which seemed to revive them some
what. Food was given the dogs anc
they devoured il without chewing it.
One got sick after eating and drink
ing. and swelled up to twice its norma
size.
The dogs were owned by Travis, and
on the witness stand when on trial, he
stated the only friends he had were hi'
hogs and dogs.

lOr who would have taken his letters The Arnf. dor
said that her majesty had directed letters him and
thereupOn delivered them to the Emperor hims,H
In the course of his mission, however he o..- led
the Emperor, because he would yield -v-
thing he thought fit, and the latter with tern
and angry COuntenance told him that he ,liI not
reckon the Queen of England to be his fellow SIR
Jerome "disked these speeches, and UNIV Hing TO
suffer this autocrat to derogate from the hna and
greatness of her majesty boldly told him face
that the Queen his mistress great Prince
any In ChristendOm, equal to him that -eht
himself the greatest and well able to dcferl rself
against the malice of any whomsOever, 1.. I'm
peror was so enraged this that he declare rha,
if he not Ambassador he would Throw him
out of doors Sir Jerome replied coOly ,-. he
in his power but that he had mI-tr.- Who
would revenge any injury done to him
This Ivan nailed French Ambassador t-r 20
his head.
At another time Sir Jerome put on his It and
cooked it before him. at which the Gar stern dc-ned
how he dared do aft-r having heard how .has-
TIED the French Ambassador. Sir jerome answered
that he represented a COwardly King of France but

This made them envy Sir Jerome, and r-.ide
the Emperor give him a wild horse 10 tame ,rich
he did, managing him with such rigOr that the horse
grew tanned and tired that he fell down dead under
