Mad Dog Scare at Charles Town.

A good deal of excitement and not
little anxiety was created in Charles
Town last week by a mad dog. A
bulldog owned by Dreamer Young,
Jr., had been vicious for several days,
during which time it bit a number of
other dogs. 1t finally attacked Ell
mer Stonesiter, biting him in the hand,
and the people came TO the conclusion
that it had the rabies. A crowd at
tempted to kill the dog Thursday
night, and in the chase colored boy
named John Thomas was bitten. AT
ter many shots had been fired at the
mad dog it was cornered on the porch
at the Jail aud shot to death. Its
bead was cut off and sent to Pasteur
Institute for examination, and Satur-
day message was received saying
that the dog was unquestionably mad.
Mr.. Stouesifer and the colored boy
imm ediately went to Baltimore, where
they will take the Pasteur treatment,
and it is hoped by promptly taking
precautionary measures danger may
be averted. The council of Charles
Town has ordered that all dogs be
muzzled and that those that came in
contact with the mad dog be confined
for six weeks.

A Murder at WeYertOn.

What seem to have been a cold
blooded murder was committed last
Saturday at Weverton, three miles
east of Harpers Ferry, when Henry
Clay Turner, aged 4S years, shot and
killed Joshua Old, or Ohler, an aged
man about "a years old Ohler, who
was called "Slackwater Jack" and
who was well known about Weverton,
was fishing in the Potomac river,
when Turner, who is State deputy
game warden, came along. He Is
said to have been drunk, and demand
ed that Ohler show him what fish he
had caught. Turner drew revolver
and fourished it around Ohler head,
but the old man pushed him away and
the drunken man finally fell into the
river. He scrambled out, mad and
wet, and rushing at Ohler shot at him
four times. The third bullet hit him
in the breast, and the old man fell to
the ground, and few moments later
expired. There were several persons
at the scene, but they were so shocked
and Turner was so reckless with his
revolver the tragedy had been enact
ed before they could prevent it. A
short time afterward Turner was ar
rested and taken to H'gerstown,
where he now lies in Jail A coroners
jury on Sunday rendered a verdict
that Ohler came to his death from the
effects of a pistol wound inflicted by
Turner with wilful and felonious in
tent aud malice aforethought.
Ohler was a familiar figure about
Weverton. having sold pies and cakes
about the station tor a number OF
years. He was married twice, his
second wife having been Miss Sarah
Clipp. She survives him, besides a
number of children by his first wife.
Turner bears a bad reputation, having
been in trouble before.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ART,
Interesting Lecture By Professor
Petrie.

Professor Flinders Petrie IN a suggestive lee
ture at the Hotel Continental on Monday dis
unguished between true and initiative Egyp-
tan art. The work commonly styled Egyptian
art, said the professor. more represents the
true art OF Egypt in its prime than do Roman
copies OF the noble creations Of Greece; the
former live not on their own merits, but as i'm
itations OF what is great in Hellenic art. AS the
Roman copies in the days Of great-grand-
fathers stood for the works of Greece So de-
olares the professor. the vilest parodies to-
day accepted by the public mind represent
ing the true art OF the ancient Egyptians This
art, though more or less familiar TO the Occi-
dental world, is vaguely understood that all
its periods are confused together with the latest
and least creative form II assumed The whole
OF its long previous history is ignored, as well
as the phases OF transition through which it
passed.
commonly Galley Egyptian decoration as being
worse than the most fragrant debasement in
ancient times The professor places the COM
rnencenent OF the initiative period and the close
of classic art in Egypt in the reign OF Rameses
II, a sovereign notorious for his profusion OF
monuments, all of which, however, were de-
praved copies, If not bodily reproductions, of
earlier works. The stiff lines of the mechanical
craftsman. rather than the flowing lines Of
the artist, were the traditional conYention under
Rameses II, succeeded by coarseness in de-
tail under Rameses III that sought relief in the
use of deep shadows
Some of the wooden faces Of collins. however,
are graceful and refined. because they depict
conventional expression. Such artistic ideals
may be detected in the statuary Of the time are
dishgured by ungainly attitude and pose. as in
the gold statue of Hersheh and the statue Of
Arnenardus. The statuary OF the twenty-sixth
dynasty is superior. largely due TO the progress
achieved in the mechanical art of polishing hard
stones and obtaining precision OF surfaces Por
traiture in this epoch evidently attracted the
best artists IL being doubtless better paid for,
as in our times. Art under the Ptolemies is re-
garded by Professor Petrie as having reached
lower depth. He cites the Philotera Of the
Vatican as an example OF the purely mechanical
workmanship OF the time. as evidenced in the
stir moulding OF the limbs. Effect was only
gained by exaggeration, much as in the Farnese
Hercules. In later architecture new motives,
independent OF ancient Egyptian art. were
sought for as at Esneh.
The professor instances the DER el Abyad at
Sohag where so late as the fourth century A. d.
the temple type adapted 10 Christian
church, as the purest and most interesting sur
VivaI of the pristine style of building. The
restoration OF this monument is shortly to be
undertaken. In graceful design. skill in the
decadent period is nowhere better shown than in
