Schooner Still Hard Aground.

The big four-masted schooner Clara
A. Donnell. which went aground in the
Virginia channel above the Highway
bridge Friday while coming out from
Georgetown with a cargo OF soft coal
aboard. was still hard and fast aground
at late hour last night
A portion of her cargo probably will
have to be ligntered before she is floated
Friday the tugs pulled on her at high
water. but were unable to bulge her. Yes
terday and again last night at high tide
the tugs William H. Yerkes. jr., Camilla
Capt. Toby and D. NJ. Key pulled and
hauled at the vessel in an endeavor to
get her over the shoal lump. but without
success.
Another effort was to be made at high
water this morning. The tugboat men
have but little expectation of getting her
afioat as long as the tides run as low as
at present.
The Donnell has about 900 tons of coal
aboard and is drawing 1914 feet of water.

Don't Kill the Dog for Nine Days.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the EultOT Oh 4uc Ct0s
Noticing that several dogs have lately
been killed in the city. soon after having
bitten human beings, please allow atten-
ton to be called in your columns to an
earnest appeal that was made several
years ago to the people of Baltimore by
Prof. Jos. H. Branham. surgeon-in-chief
of the Franklin Square Hospital there.
which was to refrain from killing the dog
for nine days. In the meantime he should
be closely watched. and if. during this
interval. no symptoms of hydrophobia de-
velop. a reasonable presumption is that
the dog was not mad. and therefore all
fears for the safety Of the person bitten.
if the wound was properly attended to-.
may be set at rest. If the dog has even
playfully bitten one human being then
after nine days he should be exter-
minated, mad or not.
