A SATURDAY NIGHT NUISANCE

l desire to call the attention of the
Town Commissioners to the fact that,
every person, male or female, should be
allowed the privilege of going about on
our streets with perfect freedom and
with as few unpleasant incidents as posi-
BILE. This is town its citizens should be
proud of, well lighted, beautifully shaded
at this time Of the year, and generally
pretty good order is maintained, but there
is one thing that should be stopped. l
refer to the crowding of the sidewalks
by the negro element on Saturday nights
1t has gotten so now that it is not at all
pleasant for lady to go out on that
evening, they have to crowd their way
through, even men have to do that, and
it is not right. These colored people take
possession of the walks on North Broad
street, from Anderson to Main streets, in
Guiding the corners. and do not have the
decency to step aside to let lady pass,
and the writer has noticed also that the
Town Police makes 10 effort to disperse
them, in fact the officer often stands in
the crowd and does not open his mouth
Now there is somethingwrong somewhere.
Not very long since, white people on a
corner would be ordered to move on by
the police. 1t is true these darkeys come
to town and in the business section to
buy their goods, but why should they be
permitted either by the authorities or the
merchants to monopolize any part of the
town? 1t is a nuisance, and should not
be permitted. The citizens of our town
are exceedingly goodnatured or there
would have been something doing" long
ago. | trust the Town Fathers will but
stop to this nuisance, it is getting intol-
cradle CITIZEN.

LET THE AUTHORITIES INSPECT

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT The history of
this mad dog that has imperiled two
human lives, contains a suggestive warn
ing for our town authorities. The dog
belonged to man named Brown in
Odessa, and was bitten about month
ago. Though euspecting he had been
bitten by mad dog, and strengthened in
his opinion by the actions of his dog.
Brown refused to kill him even after he
had a fit The Brown dog then left
Odessa and entered upon a career OF
spreading the horrible contagion of rabies
by biting human beings, dogs, swine,
etc, that includes Odessa, Townsend,
Fieldsboro, Middetown, Noxontown
Mills and elsewhere.
What adds especial peril to this case, is
that the mad dog was wounded near
Church Hill and bled freely, fact shown
BY the bloody marks of his paws on the
dress of the lady attacked in Middletown,
and the trail of blood leading to the spot
where lie was finally killed by Mr.. C.
Allston's swine early Monday morning.
Every person or animal with the slight
est abrasion on the skin brought in con-
tact with this blood, is almost certain to
contract the dreadful dydrophobia
Sometime Sunday night before the dog
attacked Mr.. Allstons swine, great
commotion was heard among the dogs
near the BrcwntDwn Church, probably
caused by this rabid animal assaulting
dogs in that vicinity. The authorities
should make strict investigation Of the
Browntown affair, and see to it that any
dogs brought in contact with the mad
dog be killed. Certainly this should be
done if any signs are found of any dogs in
the least injured in the Sunday night
fight.
Whether the Odessa authorities had
any knowledge of the Brown dogs in
jury, cannot say, but certain it is that
if they had such knowledge and had
caused the bitten dog to be killed, all
this calamity and peril to the public
would have been avoided.
This balancing of a pet ours life against
the lives of the whole community by re-
fusing to kill an animal known to have
been in close contact with, if not bitten
by mad dog, is an outrage that should
rot be tolerated.
The experts at Johns Hopkins pro-
nounced the dog to have been case of
violent rabies. In hydrophobia an ounce
of prevention is worth a whole ton of
cure. With possible one. half dozen or
more bitten dogs at large in this neigh
borhood, little neglect might easily
grow into a profound calamity. The
carcasses of all slain dogs should also be
carefully looked after.

MAD DOG

The serious accident of Sunday
evening struck a chill Of horror
through every citizen of this
town. 1t is the first time that
such a one has happened in the
memory of our present genera
ton. Prompt action by the hus-
band of the bitten lady, and by
the generous people for the bene-
fitof the poor little boy, has prob
ably warded- off fatal results. But
the horror remains, and for a
long time dogs will be treated
harshly. There seems to be no
solution to this problem of what
to do with dogs. A good dog is
a good friend to man, but the
best of them are liable to be
attacked by hydrophobia, and
usually gets away and does the
damage in some other locality.
The death of the dog in ques-
ton exposes peculiar condition
in our laws. As is generally
known, this dog was killed by
the hogs of Mr.. Aston, which
had been attacked while in their
pen. Had it been sheep that
were attacked and killed or in
iured the county would have been
responsible for the loss and
damage, and the dog would have
gottenaway to do further damage.
But as it is, the county is not
legally responsible-fo the hogs.

THAT ADVERTISING

The EUe,y EUening seems to be
very much worried over the fact
that Republican officials are CIV
ing the advertising and printing
attached to their offices to Re
publican newspapers. We never
heard Of a Democratic official
giving such patronage to a Re
publican paper, and ordinarily
would pay no attention to such
GIBBS, being content to attribute
them to partisan bias. But when
it cites special case, and claims
that an advertisement in THE
TRANSCRIPT does an injustice TO
the ''poor debtor, we feel called
upon to say word or two, not
in defense, but in explanation.
Before doing so, we desire to
say with all the energy possible,
that in the time covered by the
present ownership or manage
ment of THE TRANSCRIPT, not
one dollar has ever, directly or
indirectly, been paid to or allowed
the Sheriff, or any other officer
in exchange or consideration for
such patronage as has been ex-
tended to US. Can the Every
Evening say as much ?
Now, in reference to the sales
lately advertised in this paper.
Did it ever occur to the Every
Evening that there might be
another side to the question ?
That the "poor creditor" might
have some right and interest in
a sheriff's sale? That the "poor
debtor" might not be interested
a dollars worth +? Such are the
cases that we have advertised.
One of them, for instance, was
the sale of a farm in New Castle
Hundred, assessed at $6540, on
which there were two mortgages,
one for $4,000, the other for S5330.
The latter was the principal part
of a trust estate, on the income
from which depended the living
of man physically unable to
earn livelihood. No interest
had been paid thereon since
March 10Th, 1901, more than four
years ago, except $14.75. The
trustee had tried in every way
to secure. an adjustment of the
claim, but the original owner was
dead and his heirs had not inter
est enough in the property to
keep up the interest. No good
title could be secured to the farm
except by Sheriff's sale, and the
trustee desired to keep down the
costs as low as possible. Among
other means adopted to this end
was the placing of the advertis-
ment in a paper that would
charge the least for it. Thus it
came to u.s.. we published it, and
expect to be paid for it. Another
case that is almost exactly SINH
lar was published at the same
time. The judgment under
which this was sold was more
than $500, and there was unpaid
interest for more than four years.
This property also was purchased
by the attaching creditor. We
have not looked up any other
cases, as we feel positive that
all are about in the same class.
What advertising we get from
the Sheriff or other officials we
take, and thank the officer, as
well as the attorney who is
usually responsible for it. And
we shall continue to do so, de-
spite the howfs Of Democratic
jealousy.

New Orleans Isolation Camp
Reports Case.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb l6.-For the
first time in the history of Ieprosy cases
III the United States. and probably in
the world. physicians here say a leper
has been discharged as permanently
cured from he Louisiana lepers camp
near here.
A thirteen-year-oid boy was isolated
with 4 large number of other lepers in
the camp, under the care of Dr. Isidore
Dyer, consulting leprologist, fifteen
years ago. His body was coffee coloFed,
and was covered with leprous Ulcers.
His gaze was pitifuliy eXpressi6., .S!zs.
the eyes, which were abnormally Geyel-
oped were blank. and MS hands and
feet had grown to such abnormal pro-
portions that he could barely walk.
AT first the boys condition seemed
hopeless, but he gradually improved and
was separated from those in the ad-
vGnced stages. He was returned to his
home in New Orleans completely cured
and without the slightest leprous symp-
toms.
