A WORTHY TRIBUTE.

(Used at the funeral Of Miss Tance
Haynsworth, May Is, 19O8.)
IL one should allow himself to be
borne away under the impulse of
strong feeling, so much so as to do
the unseemly thing of altering high
eulogy over the dead, what text
would he find in the beautiful and
quiet life Of our departed sister! That
she was a sinner saved by sovereign
mercy. she would be the first tn
confess and the last to deny; and vet
how beautiful, even in the eyes of ad-
miring angels, must have been a
life so full of constant heavenly de-
votion and pious earthly affection-a
life, which in its better days. was
given up entirely in behalf of other
persons. How fitting it is that in the
last and weaker days, She should
have found loving. and true hearts to
requite, In a measure at least, the
love she once so lavishly poured out.
and to extend to the slowly DEPART
ing saint a helping hand, that She
might go to her grave all the more
gently. ....; ..: =
Miss Hortensia Haynsworth was in
her saith year, having been born ON
Oct. %, 1924. She was baptized into
the fellowship Of the Sumteryflle
Baptist church-now the First Bap-
tist church-by DR.. J.. o. B. Dargan.
on Oct 80, 1853, when in her 2sth
year. The ordinance of Baptism was
administered in mill pond far away
from the city, and have heard her
tell. more than once, the story of that
day, when negro men went before her
breaking the ice, that she might enter
the water, to be buried with Christ
in baptism, according to her faith in
the New Testament teaching.
From that day to the last conscious
hour Of a long experience, she lived
godly life, and has now fallen on.
sleep.
The aged disciple Of Jesus-why
should We wish to detain her? Her
work is done, and her tired feet,
which had come to to know only a
trembling step, have hurried in, in OBJ
edience to her Masters call 1t is
through the gate of death that she
passes to :er inheritance above. She
is not lost, neither is the light Of her
mind or heart extinguished. In the
grave, she is to be planted in the
likeness of Christ's death, that she
may rise with Christ to the resurrec-
ton of eternal life. We should rather
rejoice when one we love, who is
full of days and full of grace, sets
like a sun behind the horizon of life.
The resurrection morning will usher
in for her day that has no dull
clouds about it, a day that has no
sunset, a day that is followed by no
night Of sorrow or Of death.

STRAY DOGS A MENACE.
Dr. Keirle. Of Pasteur Institute, Says
the Situation Is Worst In Several
Hears-Advises q General Round
UD.

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 1895, when a
big dog ran acro~- the Annex and bit
eight boys. four Of whom died.
Whilenot 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 1t would be
q good plan to have a 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. t
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. 906 Battery avenue, died
March Is, Jacob Sagovitch, 9 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.
tion. 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 ef-
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 ridding the town Of dogs, the
city is reaping an unusual harvest for
licenses. The revenue so far this year
is about $4,000. and it promises to
surpass any previous year. Up to
closing time yesterday there had been
issued at the office Of Mr.. j. Spencer
Clarke, collector Of water rents and
licenses, 19.s0O dog tags. About half
are renewals. For new licenses the
fee Is 81, while renewals cost 81. BY
the end Of the week, with the police
crusade now being carried on, the
figure Will be at tleast 10000. OF 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 1t 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 q stand as to the or
dinance. but ne does want q clean
up Of stray dogs: t'r
