A LARGE FAMILY
THE MOTHER OF TWENTY-slX
CHILDREN.
The Rosy-Cheeked Matron From the
Isle of Wight Reaches New Yorx
With Ten of Them.

A letter from New York says Ellis
Island officials were staggered when
Mrs. John Damp, a rosy-cheeked
matron from the Isle of Wight, reg
istered herself, her ten children, a
son-in-law and five grandchildren
as arriving steerage passengers on
the American liner New York.
The registry clerk was almost
speechless when the little woman
casually, albeit with slight wistfuI-
ness, mentioned that she also had
grown-up daughter in this country
and had left behind in the Isle rf
Wight two living children, who
would follow her later. There were
tears in her eyes when she said She
also had left behind the graves OF
thirteen other children to come to
the New World.
why, that means that you have
had a family of twenty-six all told" !"
gasped the clerk when he could find
voice.
Mrs Damp, whose remembrance
of her lost loved ones had choked her
utterance for a moment, nodded 81
lently while her married daughter,
Mrs. George Warren, who, surround
ed by her own five children, stood
nearby with her husband, said
softly:
'Yes, dur family was very large,
but we were all very happy until
death took away some Of them"
At this moment there was d.
version in the. arrival of Miss Kath-
leen Damp, a youthful replica Of
her mother, who had come from New
Haven to- meet the family and STAT
them right for .Pittsburg, where
faithful John Damp, the father, Is
awaiting them.
AS the children and grandchildren
romped about the deck of the Ellis
Island ferryboat Mrs. Damp laugh
ingly said she had heard of President
Roosevelt and his ideas of race sui
eide, and quite agreed with him.
81 have been very happy moth
err" she declared.
Several weeks ago the father came
| to America. He had at one time been
employed by Queen Victoria at
Osborn House in the Isle, Of Wight
las a hostier. When he first came
to this country he was engaged by
New York man, but now drives
Pittsburg mlllionaire whose name
the wife yesterday could not re-
member.
AS head coachman of his late't
employer, Damp has been able t)
accumulate enough money to bring
his wife, children and grandchildren
to this country. They are all healthy
children, and Mrs. Damp is an eX-
cellent example of the wholesome
English housewife. The children
range in age from five to thirty years.

DIED OF RABIES
Woman Succumbed After Hours
of Torture.
Bit TEN BY PET DOG
Several Other Parties Bitten by the
Same Dog. But None of Them
Have Yet Been Affected From
1.-THE Pasteur Treatment Failed

1.-THE Pasteur Treatment Failed
in the Woman's Case
Mrs. Harvey M. Day, of No. 16
Cherry street, Elizabeth, N. j., died
of rabies from the bite of a pc.
bull terrier, in spite of the fact
that she had been under the Pasteur
treatment for the past seven weeks.
Mrs Day had to be restrained in
a straight jacket for twenty-fouT
hours before she died, so violently
did her struggles become. All hope
of saving her had been given up
several days and her husband was
compelled to see her die by inches
before his eyes.
While Mrs. Day was strapped to
her bed awaiting death, her husband
sat in an adjoining room, fearing
eery minute that the disease would
attack him and that he, too, would
have to be restrained until relieved
by death. In a neighboring house
Is Mrs. Samuel Doty, an intimate
friend of Mrs. Day, who was also
bitten by the dog. She, too, Is in
state of nervous collapse, A let
ter carrier was also bitten.
The dog, who was pet in the
Day home, was being led down the
street by, Mrs Day month ago, when
she became entangled in his leash
Suddenly he began to show symD-
toms of rabies and attacked his mis-
tress. Five times he sank his teeth
in her arm, hurting her to the pave
ment. Mrs. Doty saw the attach and
ran to the rescue Of her lend when
the dog set upon her and bit he'
several times on the hands and
arms.
The dog then started up the street
and met Mr.. Day, who had heard
the screams of his wife and Mrs.
Doty. The animal fastened his teeth
in Mr.. Days leg, and the letter car
rier who happened along tried 70
free Mr.. Day from the mad brute
when he was bitten, too. The dog
was killed and showed unmistakable
signs.cof hydrophobia.
All four victims went to New Yor',
and were treated at the Pasteur in
stitute. It was thought all danger
of rabies was over until week ago,
when Mrs Day contided to her physic-
ian that she knew she was inocu-
lated. The letter carrier has kept
at work constantly, and this has di-
verted his mind. He, too, is nervous,
now that Mrs. Day Is dying. and the
mental effect on him Is feared.
