FEW DOGS GO MAD.
Many Authorities Have Never Iden-

Many Authorities Have Never Iden-
tihed Case of Rabies.
The Woman's Pennsylvania s. P. @.
A. Is out with a timely and valuable
statement calculated to prevent UNI
necessary alarm and suffering Of hui
man beings as we'll as of animals. 1t
is commended by many of our famous
physicians A part of 1t follows here
with:
It has been observed with regret that
numerous sensational stories concern
ing alleged mad dogs and the terrible
results to human beings bitten by them
are published from time to time. Such
accounts Brighten people into various
nervous disorders and cause brutal
treatment of animals suspected or mad
ness; and yet there is upon record
great mass of testimony from physi-
clans asserting the extreme rarity of
hydrophobia even in the dog. while
many medical men Of wide experience
are of the opinion that If 1t develops
in human beings at all 1t Is only on ex-
tremely rare occasions; that the con-
dition of hysterical excitement In man
described as ENCYCLOPEDIAS" Is merely a
series of symptoms, such dread being
caused by realistic reports acting upon
the imaginations of persons scratched
or bitten by animals suspected OF
rabies.
The late DR.. Hiram Corson, whose
practice extended over a period Of sew
enty years, during which time he
searched diligently for the disease In
man or animal, wrote under date Of
January IS, 1896: 81 have never had
a real case Of hydrophObia."
DR.. Thraill Green, a physician like
DIR. Corson, accurate in observation,
careful in statement, and whose prac-
tIce also extended over a long period,
wrote under date of January %, 1896 +:
IT have never had a case Of hydro
phobia, nor have / ever seen case

DR.. Matthew Woods. who has been
In quest Of the disease for twenty
years, and who during two summers
visited every case reported

INDIAN ETIQUETTE IS QUEER.
Umbrellas and Shoes Have a signih-
canoe for the Natives.

Umbrellas and Shoes Have a signifl-
canoe for the Natives.
India is so vast that different eth
Guettes prevail in different districts.
We have no Standard etiquette, no
standard dress. We mostly copy Euro
pean etiquette while with Europeans.
Even Bengal shakes hands with a
Bengal, speaks in English for few
minutes and then breaks forth into the
vernacular. We shake hands with
European on parting, but by mistake
again touch the hand to the brow in a
salaam, 30 we both shake hands, sa-
laam and do the like, and no sober
minded European ever cared for the
anomaly.
The umbrella is the emblem of row
atty, the sign OF a rajah. So natives
generally fold their umbrellas before
raJah and not before anybody else,
however great. 1t is not part of the
dress, but a protection from the rain
or the sun, a necessary appendage, just
like the watch and chain. You might
as well ask a European to take off his
waterproof coat. A coolie is not bound
to fold his umbrella when brigadier
general rides past. But a mental gen.
orally closes down the umbrella on see
ing his master, whom he considers his
king" But no Indian, however hum
BILE, ought to fold up the umbrella,
even before a magistrate, because be
is neither the master of the humble
passerby nor his superior officer nor
Is he bound to salaam him. But il he
does, no harm. In a word, natives
generally fold the umbrella before a
master or a superior officer and not
any other citizen, however great-and
this is no insult.
While going to see a native chief IN
his palace the native visitor or official
takes off his shoes If the reception
room has a farash and the rajah is sit
ting on his musnud But If he is re
ceived in the drawing room, Furnished
after the European style, the shoes arr
: allowed. In some states no native,
, can go to a rajah without a pugree. II
others the pugree is taken off and toss
ed at the feet Of the rajah.
, 1t is ridiculous in European (fron
the Hindu point Of view to order
native to take off his shoes. This /
what we ask our priest to do, so tina

value of nucn1rptun on.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued a bulletin in which it says that
eucalyptus oil is so useful and popular
information concerning it is so meager
that few words concerning it will not
be out Of place. This oil has been used
for about forty years, but only during
the past ten years has it been employed
in medicine very extensively. Its use
is now constantly increasing as its prop
critics and medicinal value become bet
ter known.
The fact that it is non-poisonous and
non-irritant makes it especially safe
and valuable. AS much of it as a
fourth of an ounce has been taken in
ternally without injury and it may be
freely applied to the most delicate it's
sue Notwithstanding the fact that it
Is neither dangerously poisonous nor
irritating to the human system, it is a
very effective antiseptic and dsinfect-
ant and has come to be used quite ex-
tensively for dressing wounds, ulcers
and other diseased tissues. 1t enters
into the composition of several antisep
tic preparations.
The oil is also a well-knOwn remedy
for maIarial and other fevers and is
used in treating diseases of the hair and
skin and of the stomach, kidneys and
bladder, and is especially valuable for
affections of the throat, bronchi and
lungs.

LIEUT.. SUTTON A SUICIDE.
Strange Act of self-Destruction al
ANNAPOLIS,


Annapolis, Md, Oct. 14.-Second
Lieutenant James H. Sutton, U. S. M.
c., is dead at the naval academy ma
rine barracks, his death resulting from
32-caliber bullet fired into the right
side of the head A board of inquiry
detailed by Superintendent Badger of
the naval academy has prepared a re
port which will be submitted to the
navy department.
From the best information obtained,
Sutton, in company with Second Lieu
tenant R. u Adams and E. P. Hooek-
Ter, returned to the marine camp at
1890 o'clock this morning, after hav-
ing attended a dance given at the
academy. Shortly afterward Sutton
is said to have been discovered on the
road near by with revolver in his
right hand and several fellow officers
attempted to disarm him. This they
succeeded in doing, but not before the
weapon was discharged in some man
ner and Lieutenant Adams and Lieu
tenant Hooker receied slight
wounds. Quick as a flash, it is said,
Sutton took from his blouse another
revolver and with this fired the fatal
shot into his brain.
Lieutenant Sutton was % years old
and the son of James N. Sutton of
Portland Ore. He was formerly mid
shipman of the present senior class,
but resigned in his third class year.

GiONGRESSAT Manila
FIRST PHILIPPINE SESSION
STARTS THIS WEEK.
secretary of War Taft Gives New
cororess a Good start-RadicaIs
Are Active-Yearn for Repeal Of the
drastic alag sedition" Laws-con-
servatives in Control

Manila, Oct 14.-Great interest is
shown in the first Philippine congress,
ubicb will take place this week, and
tbp arrival of Secretary Taft, which
comes at an opportune time in IL
suguration of the Philippine home
rule. Already the contending political
actions are showing great activity
and at the caucus recently held the
first brush occurred over a motion to
have the assembly proceedings open
ed with prayer. This was defeated by
one vote, on the broad ground that
church and state should be kept dis
tinct.
The caucus was attended by 38 dele
gates. The position of the assembly
on questions relating to the political
future of the Philippines is expected
to be determined largely by the opin-
ion expressed by Secretary Taft in his
address opening the session. This is
the view held by Filipinos as we'll as
Americans. The latter are generally
in favor of a specific pronouncement
on Philippine policy. The course of
legislative action will depend mainly
on the result of the fight of the Gomez
radicals for the continuance of the ma
tional party.
The nationalists, when united eXer-
else controlling influence, but their in
ternal divisions give the progressive
independents the balance of power.
1t is not likely that party spirit will
play much part in the assembly's af-
fairs, owing to personal difference
within the parties.
Guerrero, one of the native leaders
in Manila, backs Gomez in his promise
to secure the repeal of the drastic
flag sedition" laws. If this repeal is
carried throughout other radical meas
ures probably will follow. The con-
sentative element declares against any
extreme legislation and the better
class of politicians favor an ultra con-
servative course.
The indications are the Manuel
Quescon will be the candidate for
speaker. He is believed to be favor.
ably regarded at Washington and his
election gives assurance that no reso.
luton for the independence of the
Philippines will be considered.

Washington, D. c., EngraVer Beats
All Records.
When one of the experts of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing sue
ceeded in engraving the text of the
Lords prayer on one side of gold
dollar it was supposed that the acme
of delicate work of that kind had been
achieved 1t was regarded as marvel
Gus that a man, with set of engraV-
er's tools, could perform so remarkable
a feat as the tracing of the LORDS
prayer involved, and that piece OF
work has remained unapproached.
It remained for Clarence K. Young
of the bureau of engraving and print
ing far to surpass the performance OF
his predecessor.
He took a small-sized pin and in
single halliday engraved 81 letters on
the head.
The letters are not discernible to
the naked eye. In fact, the ordinary
observer would not know that the
head of the pin had any engraving on
it. Only with a magnifying glass car
the letters be made out. 1t is regarded
as likely that Young's feat will stand
unapproached for many years, even i
it ever should be eCualed.

WHEAT is BOUND TO GO UP
Price in England and France Is Still
Rising.

Price in England and France Is Still
Rising.
Paris, Oct 16.-The Action of the
London Flour Millers' association in
raising the price of -four six pence
Q2 cents) a sack will be followed by
similar action on the part of the asso-
citation of French milling interests,
which are about to meet to consider
the situation, resulting from the fact
that wheat has now reached an ad-
vance never before realized since Joe
Letters corner in 1898.
M. Carnu, secretary of the general
association, as we'll as a director in
the most important periodical devoted
to the same interests, told a CORE
spondent recently that this week
would see a rise in price in France at
least equal to the English rise, which
naturally would cause a higher price
for the actual loaf. The higher price
will come to stay, declared the man
ager of the Great Corbeil flour mills,
because it is not due primarily to spec
ulation.
The fact is that the population OF
the world is getting beyond the supply
of wheat, and this, as it was predict
ed by the German professor, Pohle,
some years ago, is a thing that must
happen. AS one of the Paris papers
puts it this morning, the total wheat
bearing territory under cultivation at
present is sufficient to feed about $780,
OOO, 900 persons, while the population
of the world is less than lOO,OOO,OOO
under this figure.

the telegraph company officials say
they will fight to a finish. The treas
ury is depleted, and no more funds

proposition. SAMUEL ]. SMALL"
Operators to whom the news of the
order to vote became known expressed
the opinion, however, that their cause
is by no means lost one The union
will be preserved and strengthened
they say.
Small explained his unwillingness to
say anything mere by insisting that
he did not wish to influence the vote
of locals in any way.
