DISEASE OF RABIES
FREQUENTLY CONTRACTED FROM
BITES OF skUNKs.


Washington, sdune Am Interesting
development OF q discussion OF rabies
today at the annual conference OF State
and Territorial health officers with the
United States Public Health and Ma
rine Hospital Service. was the state
ment that the disease frequently is
contracted from the bites of ''skunks,
wolves and other animals
The subject was brought up by As
sistant Surgeon General Kerr, who pre-
scented q large chart showing the geo.
graphical distributions Of rabies In each

batting the dtseas8
Drs. Godfrey Of Arizona and Brumbt
Of Texas. described the danger from
the bites of skunks and other wild
animals in their localities. and declared
that wolf bites frequently convey the
infection OF rabies.
DIR. Kerr declared that public opin-
ion was becoming rapidly educated to
the necessity OF muzzling dogs as the
only certain way OF overcoming the
disease. The general conclusion of
the conference was that It was quite
as reasonable to require the muzzling
or dogs as 1t was to prohibit the free
roaming OF cattle and horses in the
street. A motion by DR.. Bennett OF
AbAON6AOg ACA ehAO @RfSAAfs-
ment by Surgeon General Wyman of q
committee to consider the question
of the prevention OF rabies and report
to the next annual conference, was
adopted.
introducing the subject of leprosy,
Surgeon-General Wyman voiced the
widespread feeling that this disease
was one which concerned all the States
collectively.
He pointed to the fact that the United
States was the first Government to
make provision for thorough tnves-
tigation of leprosy. His remarks had
reference to the leprosy institution in
Hawaii. Assistant Surgeon-General
L. t. Cofrer spoke of the striking Inn
provements that had been accomplished
in the leprosy situation in Kawaii. not
only for the comfort of lepers. but for
the care Of the non-leprous children.
Practically every delegate took an
active part In discussing the subject.
From reports made BY the delegates,
IL appeared that the United States was
remarkably free from leprosy, as COM
pared with many foreign countries, the
general opinion being that this was
due to the great attention and care
given lepers and their absolute segre-
cation,
The sessions are being presided over
by Surgeon General Wyman. Twenty
four states and Territories are repre-
scented by delegates.

Murray and Mack.

Murray and Mack popular comedians, will begin a weeks engagement at the Bijou Monday night. In speaking of a recent performance the Nashville Ten nessean said:
 Murray and Mack in the merry musical comedy, '.The Sunny Side of Broadway" held undisputed sway at the Bijou in their initial performance last night, and from the rise until the fall of the cur tain the jovial comedians were heralded with shouts of applause and shrieks of laughter.
 A feature of the most laughable farce which these comedians have yet ap- peared in is the variety of costumes and the general scenic effort, which sur passes anything that has appeared on the ticket this season.
 Charles A. Murray and Ollie Mack, in the role of Michael OToole and Hennessy O'Brien made their first appearance, pre- ceded by bevy of shapely chorus girls, and the audience was captivated immedi- ately. Their puns were unique and orig inal and particularly appealed to the au- dience, because they were as fresh and new as the bright costumes in which the dancing pippins' appear.

A Use for Tin Cans.

From the Los Angeles Times.
 The unpretentlous tin can is put to good use in several Arizona mining camps. and no longer is left on the hillsides to be nibbled by the pensive goat Particu- larly at Bisbee, Clifton and Jerome the cans and all other scrap iron available are gathered up and heaped into long troughs and into vats for the precipita- tion of water that is pumped from the copper mines, carrying copper in solution with sulphur. The iron is gradually eaten away and replaced by copper, forming what is known as slime" which runs from 90 to 50 per cent in the red metal. The expense of gathering is almost noth- ing. The water from the Jerome mines Is particularly strong, and it is told that shovels and picks cannot be left in some of the drifts for fear of losing the temper of the metal. which eventually will be entirely replaced by copper.
 Ore running 15 per cent copper has been found on the GOO level of the Shattuck mine, in Bisbee. in a fine suphide body. whose dimensions have not vet been de- termined.

performers and worked four months gathering together the best that could be had for the burlesque stage. Twenty four handsome girls from "The Great White Way were signed and were meas ured for costumes whose gorgeousness promises to make the beholders surprised. A variety of costumes were secured direct from the Parisian shops.
 After gathering his vehicle, music, cos- tunes and performers for the burlesque, MT Clark decided to outstrip all his form CT efforts in the vaudeville field. He has gathered an array of vaudeville perform CTS for the olio. The list includes such well known celebrities as Fannie Vedder. Lillian Hoover, Marion and Deane, Al Rice and his Six Running Kids, and sev- eral others.
 It is with pardonable pride that Man. ager McArdle makes the announcement that the Jersey Lilies are coming. He anticipates the best attraction of the sea son, with the natural result of the best crowds of the season. The usual weekly features at the Gayety will be put on by the local mana cement.

Majestic Theatre.

One of the greatest single performers In vaudeville will be the headliner on this weeks bill He is Henri French, and he could give whole show by him self. MT. French is an imitator of eel ebrated composers and bandmasters magician, and an acrobat as well. But there are other strong attractions in ad- dition to French. The two Pucks will present character changes and eccentric singing and dancing "A Christmas on the Comstock'' will be presented by those well known legitimate stars, Monda Glen dover and Ray Manion; in the line of instrumental music will be the Imperial Musical Trio; as a treat for the children the beautiful little fox terriers of Kurtis & Busse are engaged; Whiting Brocee are two girls who make a number Of cos tune changes and dance; Miss Irene Ro- main. the versatile English comedienne, is considered the most beautiful girl in vaudeville The programme will con- clude as usual with motion pictures. There is a matinee daily and perform ance every night commencing Monday.
 The great Henri French is the most yer satile performer on the vaudeville stage and there are many who think he has the greatest single act now before the public At all events, MT. French has a wide reputation, and he must have ex- traordinary merit to have won tnis far reaching fame. MT French impe9son- ates some of the worlds greatest com posers and bandmasters, such as Wagner, Liszt Sousa and Creatore. and he also impersonates Dr. JelSyll and MT. Hyde. showing the marvellous change from one to the other. He also does tricks of magic, as well as some expert unicycle riding and fancy juggling. In all truth if can be said that he could give first class vaudeville show by himself.
 Monda Gendower and Ray Manion are two well known stars who have deserted
