six Persons in Constant Fear Of the
Development Of the Dreaded Disease.

Six Persons IN Constant Fear OF the
Development Of the Dreaded Disease.
PITTsBURG. Jan. 16.-Livlng in
constant fear that the next hour may
find them in the throes Of hydrophobia.
remembering the struggles OF husband
and father, who died last week, a vic
tim Of mad dogs bite, a whole fam
lily Is receiving the Pasteur treatment
at Mercy Hospital in this city IN the
hope OF being saved from the certain
death which confronts them unless
medical science can save them from
the infection.
The six persons who are taking the
treatment are Mrs. Alice Black and
her two sons. Dean and Howard. and
daughter Mrs Eula Owings; Mrs.
Owings' husband, and ID. $. Gordon, all
OF Hanlon. Washington county, Pa.
where Mr.. Back died several days ago
after suffering from hydrophobia for
nearly a week. while his six relatives
watched at his bedside trying 20 re-
lieve his struggles.
Howard Black was bitten by the
same dog that caused his fathers
death. but the attending physicians or
dered all who helped care for the dy-
ing man to come 70 Pittshurg and take
the treatment, as Il Is said they are I'm
as great danger as n they had been
bitten by the rabid animal. Miss
Amanda Cassidy, Mrs. Blacks sister.
who also helped care for Mr. Black,
has been ordered 10 take the treat
mem.
The patients are almost unnerved by
their experiences IN the death room
and their own fears. The story Of the
sufferings of the dying man IS a repe-
tition OF the horrors Of death from hy-
drophobia.

Wisdom's Whispers

A woman delights in seeing another
get a set back in her opinions.
The way a woman looks at a picture
depends very much on its color effect.
When a man wants to see his name
in print he usually finds way for it
Women feel ashamed when discovered
copying q. dress design from another
woman's gown.
Most men feel It a duty to compliment
a woman on her work.
Men are constant as long as nothing
comes to disturb them.
A woman's anger does not always
show the force Of her feelings.
Some men just can't help saying
pleasant things about themselves.

The next table contained in the statistl-

10 years later the figures. 0.20S, show a

In 1906 Rhode Islands quota OF Massa-

NOT ENOUGH OPERATIVES
FOR RHODE ISLAND MILLS

There Is a shortage OF operatives In
Rhode Island and other New England
cotton mills. according to the current Is
suo Of the Massaehusetts Labor Bulle.
month from the office of the Massachu-
setts bureau OF statistics OF labor at Bos-
ton. The pamphlet also contains inter-
esting data with respect to the number
of Rhode Island-b born persons who live in
the Bay state. showing that this state
stands sixth In the list In the number OF
her sons and daughters who now reside
in the adjacent commonwealth
Dwelling on the question of help In
New England cotton factories. the Bulle-
tin says that. upon investigation, IL is
to a shortage of help. so far as Massa-
chusetts is concerned, relate TO an appar-
ent shortage only. and goes on 10 say:
LAS a matter OF fact, we fall to find It's
application TO any or the New England
states
The investigation set on foot by the
bureau bore fruit as follows. the report
continues: "Out of 14S establishments In
Massachusetts,, employing S9,ll8 persons
in 1906 ~ mills reported that they need
ed In order 10 put their full equipment in
motion, the services of lF persons,
equivalent to Ls6 per cent OF the totai
under the same conditions only 80 of
per cent more persons; New Hampshire
2s5 per cent more; Rhode Island. LIZ per
cent. and of the Connecticut mills, WHICH
=
ed 25 per cent more operatives. % out or
the sS mills located I'm that state reported
that 532 additional persons were wanted,
equivalent TO <06 per cent of the total
employed In 1905" -
RHODY NEEDS FEW OPERATIVES.
Continuing. the report says On an
average. 40 mills in Massachusetts could
each give employment TO about 80 addi-
tional persons; two mills In Maine could
each employ about % operatives more;
seven mills in New Hampshire could in
crease their number by so persons each;
ls mills In Rhode Island could supply
work for rs more persons In each mill.
and 20 mills In Connecticut would each
like about 27 additional operatives, while
the Vermont mills were running full and
needed no more help"
From this collection OF data II will be
seen that Rhode Island mills are better
off than those of their sister states, with
the exception OF Vermont.
The report contains many statistics In
relation to Rhode Islands part and that
OF other states In builsAng up the popula-
tion OF Massachusetts,.

WRECKS CAR
WHILE EARAGEO

New York. Aug. 3o.--An irritated eie.
the interior OF Brooklyn Rapid Transit
express car, terrorized his keeper and an
express messenger, and tried TO strangle
the motorman.
The great beast first became angry
when an attempt was made 10 put him
aboard the car at Culver terminal at
coney Island. He objected to the indig-
mites imposed upon him, and, feeling the
effects or his Keepers prong, he was In no
happy frame OF mind when the car drew
out from the terminal, bound for Fulton
street, Brooklyn. where he was to be
transferred TO a railroad lighter
Charles Green was the motorman OF the
car. and he realized imediately that he
had an rnruly passenger. The jolting OF
the car did not improve the elephants
temper. His keeper tried to soothe him.
but the beast began 10 lash his trunk
about and his angry mood became more
pronounced as the car sped onward. sse
reached upward with his trunk and one
by one the lighting fixtures dropped 10
the floor and were trampled upon. After
this he playfully turned attention Ia
the projecting woodwork. and this I'm turn
was completely demolished.
Seeing there were no more inanimate
objects TO be destroyed, the elephant turn
ed his attention to the keeper. The latter
lost no time In seeking refuge on the rear
platform. He found the express messen-
ger already there. BY this time the car
was rocking on its springs.
II thought IL was going 10 shake 10
pieces" said Green later
When Green saw the keeper retreat he
chuckled. but his mirth was changed TO
fear a moment later The elephant. IL ap-
pears, had discovered a small open win
dow I'm the partition separating the front
platform from the animals compartment.
He thrust his trunk through the opening
and curled II around Green's neck The
motorman broke away, but again the
trunk reached him, and as II frightened
about his throat a second time Green
gasped and wondered whether his end
was near.
But the beast loosened his grip, and
thereafter Green crouched over the motor
box just out of reach OF his enemy. In
this manner the motorman ran his car to
the foot of Fulton street. Here the ele-
phant. after much prodding and coaxing,
was induced 10 leave the car and step
aboard n lighter, which took him to a
railroad yard in New Jersey, where he
was To board a train for the West.
After looking over his car, Green de-
cided to take IL to the repair shops.
