Doctors Discuss Industrfalism.

The effects of the present-day tendency
of women to enter into economic compe-
tition with men came up for an airing be-
fore the Chicago meeting of the American
Academy of Medicine. Several of the
male physicians deplored the fact that
"too many women unsexed themselves by
forsaking home life for work in shops,
stores and factories" and one said that
the lack of servants and housewives was
disrupting society. a woman doctor,
Helen c.. Putnam of Providence. came out
squarely for woman suffrage, holding that
every woman had the right to develop her
best faculties, to seek education and to
enter a business field where she might Sc

rell Of Boston, the new president of the
association, took strong ground in favor
of educating the public as to general n.y.
giene and sanitation, saying this was the
duty of the medical profession. The
House of Delegates of the association
recommended the creation of a commits
sion to watch and oppose legislation
against vivisection.

H~ydrophobia is in reality so rare and
so terrifying that it's symptoms and treat
ment are little understood. AS a matter
of fact, the commonly accepted express
sion of madness in a dog is often mislead-
ing. The real mad dog does not shun wa
ter. as it is said. On the contrary, mad
dogs often rush to the water and drink
eagerly, if they are able to swallow.
The mad dog does not frOth at the
mouth. 1t does not run amuck, swapping
at everything in its path.
What, then, are the indications of the
mad dog? To those familiar with a given
dog the surest symptom and the one which
would excite closest attention is a dis
tinct and una]ccountablc change in the
dogs disposition-a staid dog becoming
excitable and q frisky one dull. That con-
dition does not necessarily mean rabies.
but It is suspicious. and if, in addition,
the dog has trouble in swallowing-as
though it seemed to have a bone in it's
throat-beware That dog should be in
stantly tied up, because if it be rabies it
takes but a day or tro for ferocious in
stincts to develop.
The unmistakable evidence, however, of
a dog with rabies is the sticky, whitish
saliva which covers the teeth and shows
on the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red the dog has paroxysms of rum
ming fury, during which it banks hoarsely,
which alternate with periods of temporary
exhaustion.-Caspar Whitney, in Outing
for July.

PRICES AT HIGH A R
Level for 1907 Twenty-Five Pei
Cent Above Average for Years.

1t will be of interest to those who
were busy last year in keeping the wolf
from the door to know that figures on
wholesale prices of 25S representative
staple articles REACHED the apex OF
their soaring last October. These sta
tistics are for the eighteen years be
tween 1890 and 1907.
The annual report on this subject o.
the Commerce and Labor Departments
shows that the average for the year
1907 was 5.S per cctt higher than for
1905; 44.4 per cent higher than for
1897, the year of lowest prices during
the eighteen year Iriiud. diid 29.J per
G n higher than the average for the
ten years from 1890 to 1899. Prices
reached their highest point during the
eighteen-year period in October, 1907,
the average for that month being IL
per cent higher than the average for
the year 1907. and IS per cent higher
than the average for December, 1905,
the month of highest prices in that
year.
When the commodities are divided
into nine groups every group shows al
increase in price in 1907 as compared
with 1906. For farm products taken
as a whole this increase was greatest,
namely, 100 per cent for food, &c per
cent for clothes and clothing, Sc per
cent; for fuel and lighting, "a per
ceit for metals and implements, CT per
cent for lumber and building matcrl-
ais, 40 per cent; for drugs and chem
icals, 8.3 per cent for house furnish
Ing goods, G.S per cent, and for the mis-
~cellaneous group, ; per cent.
The effect of the money s]tringcncy in
the latter part of the last year is re,
fected in the decrease recorded in all
commodities during November and De
cember, the average price showing q
decrease of SO per cen below October.
OF the 2JS articles for which whole.
sal" prices were recorded IT, showed

Slew Work of the Resolutions

Denver correspondence:
William Jennings Bryan OF Nehras-
ka was nominated for IN" presidency
by the Democratic party in national
convention at $40 o'v,o'k Friday
morning. At the same SESSION the plat
form on which Mr.. Bryan and his run
bow to the American electorate was
adopted unanimously. 1t was n Bryan
platform from fit to last, even the
antitrust plank Icing finally adopted
as Mr.. Bryan wanted it. Both the
nomination Of Mr.. Bryan and the
adoption Of his platform were accom-
panied by scenes Of Widest enthusi-
assn.
Mr.. Bryan was nominated on the
first ballot, the vote standing:
hryan ......
johnson ....... .............. 40
The nomination Was made unanl-
nous on motion of W. 5. Hammond,
VI Minnesota. who had nominated Gov
rn0 johnson.
The convention was called to order
at II 80 o'clock Thursday. Henry ID.
Clayton of Alabama o o the gavel as
permanent chairman, and delivered a
speech lasting an hour Clayton's
speech was well received by the 1900
persons crowded into the auditorium.
1t was radical, compared with the ad-
dress Bell of California delivered when
he took the platform Tuesday. Chair
man Clayton denounced the Republican
party, President Roosevelt and the
Chicago convention in scathing terms.
He did not m1ncc his words in char
aCteriZatiOn of the sins Of omission
and commission of the Republicans as
he saw them. His remarks were taken
as a message direct from Bryan. He
had conferred with the Nebraskan and
revised his speech at his suggestion,
according to common report.
Thursday was the biggest day of
the convention. with the stage all set
tor the nomination of William J.
Bryan for the Presidency OH a plat
form practically drafted by himself,
the only exception being the anti-in-
junction plank, which was more radi-
cal than the Nebraskan demanded. 1t
was planned that after the address of
Mr.. Clayton the convention would take
a recess until night, which meant
that the nomination Of a candidate for
the presidency would not come until

TIE CHICAGO BALLOON RACE.
Great Crowd Sees Nine Airshtps Sail
Of Into Space.

Nine balloons sailed away with sew
enteen men and one boy from the
grounds of the ~Aeronautique Club of
Chicago Saturday In the second race
for the balloon championship Of the
world. Dispatches said there were
heavy winds and much thunder and
lightning along the route in which the
balloons were travelling and anxiety
was expressed at the Aeronautique Club
over the storm reports. Lightning Is.
of course the chief dread of the aero
naut. To him it IS what rocks and reefs
are to the mariner.
The start from the clubs grounds at
SlXty-seVenth street and South Park
avenue was witnessed by 100000 per-
sons. In point Of spectators and the
number and character of entries it was
the greatest ~aeronautic event that ever
has taken place IN America, and places
Chicago on a par with Paris as a cen
ter for aerial sport.
The account Of the race seem to
shoW that luck was the most important
factor III determining place. The bal
looms went III the direction of the wind.
They sailed high or low, not as their
occupants desired, but as the air cur
rents carried them. Those that were
favored by luck reached the ground
with no accidents TO their occupants.
Those that were ~unlucky hit the sur
face of the lake or landed their passen-
gers in dangerous places. In oil ac-
counts of the contest the element of
control is conspicuously absent.
The balloon lace made a good show.
1t afforded a topic Of interest to many
thousand people who watched the start
from Chicago. 1t is a matter of salts
faction that ono of the contestants lost
his life, despite the exciting experiences
through which some OF them passed.
1t requires Il stretching of the word
race to describe a haphazard air Jour
ney in which one balloon managed to
get TO miles, another less thar 800, and
the winner $50 miles farther than the
nearest competitor.

In spite of the fact that Secretary Taft
has often laughingly declared that mo
real gentleman weighs more than 800
pounds" his solid bulk combined with the
compact frame of his running mate, James
s. Sherman, makes the heaviest ticket
ever put forward by n national party.
The two men together tip the scales at
something not far short of 500 pounds.
The record before this was held by tho
Democrats on the strength of the avoirdu-
pois of Grover Cleveland. When nomi-
mated in 1892 Mr.. Cleveland weighed
about 275 pounds, but the small figure
of Adlai e. Stevenson kept the total
around 425 pounds.

then. The recess was also made neceS-
sary because the resolutions committee
not ready to report.
Delay of the nomination until the late
hour vas brought about not alone by
platform perpleXities. but it was said by
the strong desire of many of the states to
share in the honor they believed would
come from s%econding the name Of the
Nebraskan. Every delegation that de-
sired, so it was given out, would be
given the opportunity to indorse the
chief candidate after the first nominal
ing speakers had had their word.
Bryan was placed in nomination be-
fore midnight b" Ignatius j. Dunn, Of
Omaha, but it was after 3 o'clock be
fore the balloting began. Between the
nomination and the balloting came the
reading of the platform by Governor
Haskell of Oklahoma. chairman of
the resolutions committee. The plat
form was unanimously adopted by the
convention after the committee on res
olutions had spent fifty-seven hours in
framing its many planks.
Mr.. Bryan's third nomination was
made amid scenes of frenzied enthusi-
asm. The result came after an all
night session, which was kept in a
constant state of turmoil up to the cul-
minating moment when the Nebraskan
was proclaimed the choice of the con
vention as the Democratic standard
bearer.
Speeches Before pintforu.-
Despairing of hearing from th1 reso-
lutions committee the convention sent I;
committee to call on that body at
$50 o'clock Thursday night and Sc
cured from it consent to proceed with
the nominating speeches. The roll call
on the nomination was withheld until
after the platform was adopted. When
the call Of States was begun, Alabama
promptly gave way to Nebraska and
Mr.. Dunn. Of Omaha, took the plat
form to name Bryan. The convention
gave him an ovation. Twenty-Five min
utes after he began Mr.. Dunn named
