1T Is A REAL DISEASE.
Animal Bureau Has Settled the Hydro
phobia Controversy.

Washington, Oct. S.-''We have con-
Quoted many experiments which have
demonstrated beyond question that hy-
drophobia is real disease, germ-gen-
Grated and Infectious said DR.. A. d.
Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal
industry of the department of agricul-
ture.
These demonstra tons have taken
place at the government experiment sta
tlon at Bethesda, Nd, and have been
IN progress a long time. For centuries
1t has been mooted question whether
rabies really exists. 1 presume it will
be disputed that we have demonstrated
the fact, but nevertheless it has been
done in such a manner as to convince
any reasonable person.
Rabies, or hydrophobia, can be
communicated from beast to man, and
there are many we'll authenticated
cases where it has been done. That
rabies can be transmitted from one
beast to another is too well known to
be questioned. Our records show this
concluSively. Several years ago we
had a very striking instance of this
kind. rabiG dog in the city bit an
other dog. The first dog died of hydro
phobia. The owner of the dog that
was bitten declared that there was no
such thing as rabies, but he took his
animal out of the city and kept it
away about two months. Then the
second dog developed a we'll defined
case of rabies. 1t ran amuck, snapped.
manifested all the other well known
signs of hydrophobia. 1t bit horse
and a COW. In exactly 100 days the
horse suffered an attack of the rabies.
1t was rather longer than usual in de-
veloping, DIS it generally appears with
in two months. The horse died of
rabies. So did the COW, which was at
tackled by the fearful disease within
sixty days. The COW beloved and ran
about the country swapping at animals
and persons.
There are two types of hydropho-
bia-dumb and furious. In the earlier
stages of the dumb type a dog infect
ed with the disease is dangerous, but
in the late stages it is not, as it sus-
tains paralysis of the jaws and is
thereby rendered harmless.
But a dog with the furious type or
hydrophobia is very dangerous. 1t
yelps and snarls and runs about in the
most frantic manner. 1t froths at the
mouth, and as it does not have
paralysis of the jaws it bites man or
beast if they cross it's path.
'.In making these discoveries some
progress has been made in the pre-
vention and treatment of the malady.
History has shown that where dogs
are muzzIed rabies has disappeared
entirely. This is true in a number of
European cities. AS yet there is no
cure for rabies known to medical
science.

The Building of a Witticism.

The October Bohemian has an arti-
Gle entitled, Glow a Joke Is Made
In it Marshall P. Wilder, the well
known humorist, cites this story as an
illustration of one methods:
Here is a story with a joke in it
about Labouchere, the gneial editor of
London Truth. When he was stand
for the English parliamen little girl
who made Mr.. Labouchere? p Why,
Providence, by dear. answered the
somewhat astonished parent. And
Now that isn't a bad joke. 1t was
mine. which really has exactly the
same point, though it is brought out
in a different way. a child and her
mother are on the cars. Opposite
them sits a young man dressed in the
height of fashion. Says the child :
Mamma. what it that?' and, as she
asks the question, she points to the
young man opposite. Hush, my dear
answers the mother. But, mother, I
want to know To quiet the child
the mother whispers in her ear: He is

persists as usual in gaining some more
information. And who made him,

whereat the child exclaims: oh,

have fun sometimes?' You see. the
stories are really alike. At all events

PLAGUE IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Has Aroused Interest In the History of
= The Disease in This Country.

The presence of bubonic plague in
San Francisco and the fact that the
health authorities there have called on
the government to have the United
States marine hospital service take
charge of affairs created considera BILE
interest in this city yesterday. There
are a number of persons in this city
who have relatives on the coast and
welfare, particularly as the city is just
recovering from the destruction
wrought by the earthquake and fire.
While the local and state health au-
thorities do not fear that there is any
danger of the plague getting a foot
hold in this country. they are taking
and have taken precautions to prevent
the coming into the city or state of
any persons who may have the dread
disease. The health officials have alb
solute confidence in Surgeon General
Wyman and his assistants in the
marine hospital service to cope with
the dread plague and prevent its
spread.
Bubonic plague has been discovered
in this country on a number of occa-
sions, and the nearest it ever came to
Baltimore was New York, which has
had several cases in recent years San
Francisco never had it so extensively
as at this time, and the fact that the
city health authorities cannot cone
with it is indication to those persons
here who are interested in the public
health that the conditions there are
worse than appear on the surface
The history of the plague in the
United States and its possessions Is as
follows:
New York city was reached by the
plague in November, 1899, on a coffee
steamer from Santos, Brazil, aboard
OF which were two men who were i'll
with the plague on reaching quaran-
tine. There was no spread of the dis
ease there.
In December, 1899. the disease ap-

Boise, Idaho, Oct. S.-Attorneys for
the state and defense in the Pettibone
case are in conference again today try
ing to agree upon a course acceptable
to both sides. The defense has been I'M
willing up to this time to agree to
postponement of the trial set for next

oner- who remains a patient in the hos
pital, clearly in no physical condition
to stand the ordeal of facing a jury.
If the case were begun Tuesday it
would surely be interrupted by the pris-

sible at any time he chooses to go upon
the table. The state is unwilling to
have the trial proceed under the cir
cumstances and also unwilling to let
Pettibone go on bail.
