Stubblc Field Burned.

During the storm Sunday night a
stubble field on the ranch of Dick
Adams on Mckay creek, was struck
by lightning and set afire. A patch
containing about 20 acres was burned
when the fire was quenched by the
heavy downpour of rain. Consequent,
ly none of the grain stacks were
caught.
At several other places along Nc
Kay the lightning struck the rural
phone lines and made havoc for
time in homes having phones. At the
John Wynn ranch the lightning flash
ed clear across the room in which the
phone was located. Since then Mr..
Wynn has fitted his phone with a
lightning protector so as to prevent a
recurrence of the accident.

According to reports received this

RABIES, No EXPLANATION.
Unbitten Man who and Dog That Had
HydrophObia Dies or the Disease.

Frank Butkanal, a driver for DR.. s. V.
Jones of P~leassntville. n. Y. died yester-
day in the Presbyterian Hospital Of hydro
phobia. DR.. Jones owned a Newfoundland
dog to which Butkanal was much attached
and which was bitten by a rabid dog in
October. Butkanal nursed the N~ewfound-
land until about December 1, when the dog
eho wed signs of rabies and was shot.
Butkanal was much affected by the death
of the dog. During the dogs sickness he
had washed the dog mouth out and handled
him tenderly, and he began to worry about
hydrophobia. although he insisted that the
dog had never bitten him.
On December Ia B~utkanal's condition
became such that DR.. Jones brought him
10 the Presbyterian Hospital and put him in
the isolation ward under the care OF DIR,
r. A. look and an assistant. A careful ex-
animation Of the man failed TO reveal anv
indication of a bite, nor was there any cut
by which the dogs saliva could nave pois-
oned the man. He died in agony and his
death was entered on the records as due 20
hydrophobia.
When asked for an explanation of the
case an assistant OF DR.. Cook said last
night:
1T was unusual: che first of the kind ve

not been bitten, and 80 far as we could learn
he was telling the truth. His disease was

we can offer no explanation.
The matter has been referred to the
Board of Health, and as its officials are more
familiar with ~hydrophobia thar we are at
the hospital they may be able TO offer some
explanation"
DIR. Darlington, president Of the Posrd Of
Health, when asked for an exph nation Of
the case last night said:

trance for the poison. Hydrop hotia without

The firemen Of Hook and Ladder Com

Yesterday afternoon about the pluck OF
Miss Monica Moore, a nurse who was taking
care of Samuel PAIL, a paralytic, and who
helped to rescue him from a burning apart
ment house at 253 Fast Seventy-second
street.
PAIL lived on the third ioor of the house.
He is helpless. His daughter and Miss
Moore were with him when the alarm Of
fire was raised. The blaze had started in
the basement and by the time those on the
upper floors knew Of il the hallway was
choked with smoke. Miss Moore and the
daughter OF the helpless nan carried him
u into the hall.
A tongue of fame shot up from the base
ment and the smoke cloud was so dense
that they couldn't sec their way. They
decided to try to get him back 10 the win
lows in the apartment when the door closed
with a bang. There was a spring lock on
the inside and the two women were locked
out in the hall with the man on the cot.
The nurse covered PahlS head with an
apron and then, jumping up on the baluster,
kicked in the glass in the door. Inside that
was a burglar screen. but she made an
opening big enough 10 admit her hand 10
the lock. Then they carried PAIL TO the
window.
By that time the fremen had thrown a
IS foot ladder up and were climbing into
the room On Of them stan tie 20 take the
nurse down, but she protested that she
wouldn't go until she had seen her patient
out safely. The fremen had a hard job
carrying PAIL down. He weighs almost
200 pounds and the ladder fell short Of the
window about two feet. Fireman David j.
Foley passed hin out TO Assistant Foreman
Tierney Of Hook and Ladder lG and the two
managed to get him down. Then they
carried out the daughter. Miss Moore
waved them aside and came down unaided.
The fire did about 81 500 damage. One

SECRETARY SHAW'S FUTURE.
He Denies That He Has an Oner to Become
President OF Mutual Life.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o.-Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw denies that he has received
an offer to become president Of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company. or that he has
any definite idea Of becoming the head of
any corporation at the end of his incum-
bency in the Treasury Department. The
Secretary returned to Washington from
New York his morning, and was in his office
bright and early. A big days work awaited
him, hut Mr.. Shaw took time TO deny again
that he has receivd any proposal from the
Mutual Life. He intimated that he did not
wish to max any further statement regard
ing his plans for the future than TO say that,
so far as he is aware, the Mutual Life story
is without foundation.
Persons in tho Treasury Department
who are in the confidence of Secretary
Shaw called attention TO the fact that TIE
story was not very plausible on its face,
for the policyholders' election has only
Just taken place, and IL is still doubtful which
ticket won the election. Secretary Shaw
has always declined 10 discuss the various
minors hat he was to become the head
of this or that large hank, trust company
or other financial concern at the end OF his
term in the Government service.
His friends have understood, however,
that he was not looking at any such pre-
ferment, believing Cerhaps that the road
10 nomins ton and election 10 higher Office
in the political world did not lead through
the doors of any banking house or financial
institution. Very recently, however, there
has been a feeling. not based 20 any extent
upon any direct statement of the Secretery,
that Mr.. Shaw might acceyt a place in TIE
financial world if the position were of an
especially exalted and influential kind.

MRS. MIYIRICK'S VIEWS
On Prison Rcform-GiVe the Con,icts Work.
She says.

At the Madison Square Presbyterian
Church last night Mrs. Florence Maybrick
addressed an audience for the first time
since her release from an English prison
two years ago. Snes spoke on the sub
ject of prison reform in America and drew
many Illustrations from her prison expert
ence of nearly fifteen years.
Underlying all legislative reforms en-
acted for the bettcrment of prison con-
ditions in this country there must be
hearts throbbing with human fellowship"
said Mrs. Maybrick. Il claim for all
humanity. whether it he free OF moved
up in prison walls, the right TO see Gods
sunshine and to breathe Gods pure air
under conditions fl for Gods creatures
to live in. Our legislatures cannot make
any Roadway against the abuses that exist
in our prison administrations unless they
realize that the conditions most Of the
prisoners in this country have imposed on
them are not those At for a human being.
Sing Sing prison is without light. with
out air. SO damp Is Vt that when the tide
comes in you can write your name OF the
moisture that forms on the walls. Is there
any wonder hat tuberculosis RACES I'M
checked in this prison pen! State Super
intendent Of Prisons Collins has lone much
TO remedy the COnOlJlOns AT sing sing, out
they are still beyond human conception
Mrs. Maybrick said that for nine months
she was confined in a cell seven feet by four
in dimensions, that she had a canvas ham,
mock to sleep in and that her food was
passed to her through a trap door. This
is done in England TO save the souls Of the
prisoners" said she. I'm glad to say
that though some things equally bad are
lone in this country there is no idea Of
saving souls prompting the measures"
The State prison at Easton, Pa, was the
worst OF twenty-four penitentiariee h had
visited, said Mrs. Maybrick. There the
prisoners rave not the freedom that a bear
has al a cage, she added. The State prison
at Trenton, n. j., offered a strange contrast
bet ween modern reform ideas and ancient
barbarism, she thought. Though they still
keep men in underground dungeons at
Trenton the warden has organized a string
band among the prisoners, and they ONE
times have apple dumplings for dinner.
The speaker condemned the abolition
of prison labor in New York State. She
said that while the Gates law of 1888 de-
prived the convicts of the right to labor
with their hands and thus help 70 supper
their families outside prison walls, the
people of the State continue TO pay 800 900
yearly for the support of thousands Of
idle prisoners, while the product of prison
labor from without the State comes in
unchecked TO hood the market OF legitimate
labor which the law sought 70 protect.
Aside from this the awful demoraliza-
ton that results from idleness in the prisons
works a double harm. The system propa-
gates crime instead Of Graduating it, as
the prison idea seeks TO do"

DANCE, TENDERFOOT STYLE.
DISCHARGED EMPLOYEE Uses HIS
Gun LIKE 4 COWBOY.
Make Two Onrclals Of Telephone CONF
pany DO Jigs for Ills Amusement
Bullets Fly Around Lively Gets
Tired me Goes Before Police Come.

Peter Roth, a discharged porter Of the
New York Telephone Company, armed
with a revolver, which he fred freely. gave
the employees of the Franklin and Worth
exchanges at 81 Franklin street a scare
yesterday. He took a notion that he
wanted the spectators to dance. A.
Braham, head storekeeper of the place,
which occupies practically the entire Eagle
Building, baked at this request. He
changed his mind in a hurry. however,
when a bullet whistled through his left
trouser leg. The rest of the bullets few
wide of their mark.
BY the time the police of the Elizabeth
street station arrived Roth had tired of
his sport and left unmolested. He hasn't
been seen since. Roth lost his place in the
morning for an infraction Of rules and de-
handed his money. He was told by
Braham, in whose department he was en-
ployed. that he could not receive his money
to-day. Roth left, but returned in the
afternoon.
Tell me again, Mr.. Braham, " said Roth,
what you told me to-day"
Il said" retorted Braham, you can't
get your money until tomorrow"
What if I make you cough up?" con-
tinued the porter.
you couldn't make me do anything"
said Braham shortly.
Couldn't, eh? Just watch my smoke"
Roth replied, at the same time displaying
a revolver. First of all, young man dance
q little"
Braham hesitstsd. A bullet whistled
tn rough his trouser leg. EIc began a line
Of fancy sidesteps.
You long legged geezer over there, get
busy" Roth shouted out to Brahsm's
assistant, who up to this time had remained
frozen in his seat. The two jigged it at a
lively pace. When one Jagged a little
a bullet would hit the floor near him. Roth
held his sides with laughter and forgot all
about the money.
There were half a dozen employees in the
place, but with the exception of the prin-
cipals they quit in record time. After il
was all over the first move of every one
was to telephone TO the police. There are
several thousand telephone connections 70
the building and the wires were soon buzzing
with accounts of the shooting bee. Each
of the hundred operators in the place tried
to get Police Headuuar ters first.
As a result the Eliz abeth street station
reserves were sent ovsr on the jump. Mean
time Roth thrust his revol yer into his pocket
and walked out toward Broadway. The
police are now looking for him.
