His only fear was that the frightful convul- sions of the final stage of rabies might prove too narrowing for his family to witness, the terrifying cries too heart rending for them to hear. So he asked Dr. Culihan to keep close when the period of delirium began and to be lib- eral with chloroform. opium or what ever might avail to stupefy and to soothe.

New YOrk.-Fultilling the terms of the death sentence pronounced upon him on Monday when he was told he must die before Thursday, Dr. Will liam H. Marsh succumbed to hydro phobia Wednesday afternoon. His last hours were eased and rendered unconscious by opiates administered by his physician, while his family hoped against hope that science might for once be in error.
 Not for moment had Dr. Marsh. however, deluded himself with false hopes. With the death warrant of the physicians of the Pasteur institute still ringing in his ears, he made his will, called his family and business as sociates into council and gave them explicit directions for the conduct of his business and personal affairs, after he should have gone from them, and calmly prepared to die, as he had lived. like man.
 You will die before Thursday noon No human power can save you" That was the dictum of Dr. William L.
  Wheeler of the Pasteur institute. de. livered one Monday recently It struck Dr. Marsh like a blow between the eyes, but he stood up to it man fashion.

 Returning with his physician, Dr. H. M Culihan, to his home in Brook lyn, Dr. Marsh immediately began to make plans for the future of those near and dear to him. Himself a graduate in medicine, he knew science had said its last word and his fate lay on the knees of the gods.

for a suitable memorial to the late Sem

looking to the erection of suitable
memorial should DE given national
prominence, should have its origin

tain They believe that if the matter
were taken up here actively and pros
ecuted with all vigor possible, persons
in other and more distant parts of the
country would look upon 1t as a local
move and one in which they were in
no wise interested. 1t is the desire of
the people of Dubuque that the people
of the whole country be interested and
to that end it has been thought best
that the initiative be taken either in
New York or Washington.
The people of Dubuque stand ready
to do their part and more for the cree
ton of such a monument as will APP
propriately represent the sentiment of
the people of the whole country. They
will contribute literally of their cash,
and if il should be determined that
Dubuque is the place to have the mon
ument erected, Dubuque will furnish
suitable locations. Several good loca-
tons have already been talked of, in
event of it being decided to erect the
memorial here. One of the locations
mentioned is the high bluff overlook
ing the Mississippi river and in view
of Wisconsin and Illinois territory for
many miles, one mile south of the city,
on which is located the monument of
julien Dubuque, the founder of Du-
buque. That is historic spot, a ro-
mantle spot and one that can be seeh
for many miles in all directions.
Another and probably more suitable
place mentioned is Eagle Point park in
the north end of the city

deciding on memorial elsewhere, it is
not at all improbable that a local
movement would be started and car

POINTS ON HANDLING CROWDS
Smoking in Stores and in Places of
Amusement Should Be Strictly Pro-
hibited - Packing Material Should
Not Be Allowed to Accumulate
Keep siehtseers Moving.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Dec with a view OF
guarding against the fires so frequently
caused I'M the holiday season by the
highly inflammable materials used in
decorations and which so often result
in such great fatality. the Iowa State
Fire Prevention association has issued
bulletin dealing with the subject
Plans are suggested by the associa-
ton for protecting against the out
break of fire, and means are offered fol-
handling a crowd in case of a bad
blaze.
The bulletin issued by the associa-
ton is:
During the holiday rush employ day
and night watchmen to patrol the
premises and direct the crowds to exits
in case OF an emergency.
Exits should be plainly marked and
illuminated with red lights. Have a
clear space of twelve to fifteen feet
around each exit and do away with
showcases on sidewalk just outside OF
doorways during the holidays. A!sies
leading to exits should be plainly
marked by sign posts.
Special exhibits and displays of IN
flammable material or artificial light
or heat should not be allowed unless
approved by the fire marshal or chle1
of the fire department.
Accumulation of packing material IN
bottom of elevator shafts and under
stairs and counters is very dangerous.
Have one or more men gathering this
up constantly during the day. Exam
inc all closets, lockers and store rooms
frequently.
ANY extension or alteration of light
ing and heating systems made neces-
sary by the holiday season should De
in accordance with underwriters re-
ouirements and those of the chief OF
the fire department. 1t is especially
da ngerous to make changes in electric
lighting systems All fuse blocks
should be covered with porcelain OF
mica.
Smoking should be positively pro-
hibited.
Overhaul and test all you have. get
an extra supply near special exhibits
All new watchmen should be instruct
ed in their use Automatic sprinkler
equipments should be kept in perfect
working order. Tanks filled, gate
valves kept open and accessible. In
large stores employees should be organ
lied and fire signals prepared and
drills executed. 4
Sightseeing people should be kept
Crowding at the elevator
shafts and stairs should be prohibited
Special day watchmen should be uni
formed, it creates a greater feeling OF
safety with the people. In public halls
churches and schools it is advisable to
keep lines of hose stretched ready for
instant use. The great danger is from
arrangements, panic ant
lack of sufficient exits. Those having
the safety of lives in their hands should
not forget the Boyertown, Pa, opera
house disaster on Jan. 10 last, which
cost 175 persons their lives. and Col
