For the hostess who is contemplate
ing an Easter luncheon, nothing would
lie quite as pretty as the French bas-
let of Easter lilies: or, if she prefers,
she may have iris instead. If the
hostess desires to give gift to her
guests, something appropriate for a
grown up is to be found in the way of
Il book, either one pertaining to the oC-
casion, or one of the popular books,
tied with ribbon the same shade as
the binding. which must be of a deli
cate tint, with card. bearing an Easter
message and tiny rabbit perched on
top. Another good thing is an egg
cup of Haviland china, tied with d
bow of satin ribbon, in which is in
EerIed a spoon of glass. Something
Sood for bon bons or strictly for orna-
ment, is half egg shaped dish of
hrownish shade. On the handle are
rerched two yellow chickens, and a
bow of lavender ribbon.

Annual Competitive Drill and De,
Chalmers Contest Last Night.
The annual commencement of the
city schools opened last night with
the competitive drill by picked
squad selected from the school bat
talon and the annual declaimers'
contest participated in by the boys Of
the tenth grade.
Nineteen boys took part in the
prize drill and their proficiency in the
manual was commented on and COM
plimented by all. The medal was
finally won by Robert Brown after a
close contest. The medal was pre-
sented by Maj. Marion Noise, Of the
city board of education.
The declaimers' contest probably
excited more interest than the other
features Of the programme. Six boys
spoke and all Of them acquitted them
selves with credit The name Of the
winner will not be announced until
tonight. The Judges were Messrs. r.
o. Purdy, L. D. Jennings and r. L.

STRAY DOGS A MENACE.
DIR. Keirle, Of Pasteur Institute, Says
the Situation Is Worst in Several
iears-Advises q General Round.
Up.

With three separate outbreaks of
rabies In the last few weeks DR.. N. G..
Keirle, head Of the Pasteur Institute
at the City Hospital, characterizes
the situation as the worst in several
years. probably since 1896. when a
big dog ran across the Annex and bit
eight boys, four Of whom died.
While not intending to excite alarm
DR.. Keirle advocates a systematic
search, at night, for stray dogs who
have been exposed to attacks from
rabid animals. He says it would be
a good plan to have number Of
wagons start at the four corners of
the city and work toward the center,
picking up every dog found wander
ing about. The healthy and dis
eased ones could be separated at the
dog shelter and disposed of as is
thought best
The three spurts Of rabies have
appeared in as many parts Of the
town. There have been two deaths,
Frank Rowles, son of Capt Wesley
w. Rowles, 900 Battery avenue, died,
March Is, Jacob Sagovitch, years
old, died few days previously. They
had been attacked by the same dog
that ran from Southwest to South
Baltimore, then back up town, and
was killed in the Northwestern Sec
ton. Eight persons in all were bit
ten.
DR.. Keirle. while not pretending to
interfere with the authorities in
charge Of the work Of picking up
stray dogs, advises special work at
night, when round-ups can be eff
fected. Ten persons in the city are
undergoing Pasteur treatment This
has been about the average for sever
al weeks. showing a serious situation.
Most Of the persons cannot afford to
pay for treatment, but they are given
the same care as those who pay.
While DR.. Keirle is advancing ideas
about Kidding the town OF dogs. the
city Is reaping an unusual harvest for
licenses. The revenue so far this year
Is about $4,000. and 1t promises to
surpass any previous year. Up to
closing time yesterday there had been
issued at the Office of Mr.. ]. Spencer
Clarke, collector Of water rents and
licenses, $4,000 dog tags. About half
are renewals. For new licenses the
fee Is 50, while renewals cost 81. BY
the end Of the week, with the police
crusade now being carried on. the
Asure will be at least 10000. or the
sum received the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals will
get $4,000.
On the question of muzzles Dr.
Keirle declared he would rather not
express an opinion. He declared,
however. that every owner should be
required to keep his dog on his own
premises or have it in leash when on
the street. He does not think that
muzzling will prevent rabies. No
such regulation prevails in the su-
burbs or counties, and from them,
he believes. come the spurts OF the
disease that are prevalent now. He
does not take stand as to the or
dinance, but he does want a clean
up Of stray dogs.

BITTEN BIZ MAD DOG.
Frank Richardson Attacked by HI.
Own Dog.


Frank Richardson. colored. who
lives near Green Swamp. was attack
ed and seriously bitten Saturday by
his own dog. The dog had been
morose for several days, but there
was up to that time no reason to sus-
pect that 1t had hydrophobia. The
attack was made on Richardson with
out warning and one arm just above
the wrist was severely lacerated. The
actions Of the dog Indicated that II
had rabies and it was killed. Rich
ardson left this morning for the Pas
teur Institute in Atlanta for treat
ment, a public subscription having
been raised to pay his expenses.
Three dogs were killed in the city
yesterday and another this morning
all apparently mad. 1t is reported
that a number Of other dogs were bit
ten by these dogs.
