Philadelphia. Jan. 14.-What is re.
garded as one of the most successful
cases of cure of rabies ever reported
has been accomplished ~ the physi-
clans at the Pennsylvania hospital in
the case OF George Aprist. OF 627 North
American street. whose life for more
than week remained In the balance.
He was discharged from the institu-
tion a well man.
The case has been attracting wide
spread attention among physicians
from every section and will be sub
ject OF discussion before the County
Medical society and similar associa
tions. II Is the first one OF its kind ever
treated here.
Aprist was bitten on Dec. IA as he
entered stable on South Water
animal. when he was suddenly startled
by a fierce growl. and turning quickly
about. he saw the dog coming at him.
The next instant the animal made q
leap for his throat. A battle followed.
and after the dog was killed Apris.
found that two fingers of his left hand
had been bitten.
The body of the dog was immediate.
ly removed to the veterinary depart.
ment of the University OF Pennsylva-
MIA. where Professor John w. Adams
found conclusive proof that the dog
had rabies.
Aprist was taken to the Pennsylva.
MIA hospital. confined to a special room
and serum injected. 1t was absolutely
necessary that the serum should b.
fresh. and special messenger was
dispatched from the Pasteur institute
in New York to this city daily.
The patient was closely watched by
Professor Adams. For a time II was
feared that he would not recover, and
he showed unmistakable signs Of hy-
drophobia.
The treatments. however. were con-
tinued, and after a week Aprist began
to show signs OF improvement.
Several days ago he was able to go
about the hospital yard. and Wednes
day he was declared to be well enough
to leave.

STUDYING TIL
INDIAN NAMES
Former Judge ]. Upshur Dennis
Engaged In Interesting
Research.


who was retired from the bench on
May last because of his physical con-
dtion. has recently become much inter-
ested in the significance of the Indian
names of places that are met with so
frequently on the Eastern Shore
Maryland and Virginia. Since being
confined so much to his room in the
Albion Hotel the Judge has added
greatly to his store of knowledge of
Maryland and Virginia historical events
and prominent people of the two States.
Some years ago we published short
list of Indian names of places in Mary
land, to which Judge Dennis added.
making up list of about 80 such names
occurring on the Eastern Shore of Mary
land and Virginia. For the purpose of
ascertaining their significance he sent
the list to his friend. Mr.. William H.
Babcock. of the chronological depart
ment of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington, who sent the Judge a
translation of some of them made by
Mr.. james Mooney.
"As the names re beautiful in them
selves" JaIdge Dennis said, Il hope
the matter will be considered of suffi-
cient general interest to warrant their
publication. 1t is really pity that we
cannot get at the significance of the
many other beautiful Indian names in
that section, so far surprising those of
the Northern Indians, whose language
is SO largely represented by names Of
localities through New England and
Canada"
The Indian names referred to by
Judge Dennis, of which he has obtained
the Specification in English. are as fol-
lows:
Chesconessex-Place Of bluebirds.
Accomack-O the big water or
broad bay.
Quantico Dancing place.
Metompkin-To enter into a house,
pleasantly suggestive of the hospitality
of the neighborhood.
Wicomico - Where the houses are
building.
@Wetipquin-Place of the interment of
skulls.
Pungeoteague- Sandy or dusty place.
Chincoteague does not want it;
despises it.
Onancock-Foggy.
Occohannock Winding steam.
Messongo-Where we killed the deer;
deer-killing place.
Nanticoke = (tribal name) Tide
water place.
OF the following names on his list
Judge Dennis has been unable TO learn
the significance: Annamessex, Tyaskin,
Quindocquia, Nassawonge, Nassawad-
dro, Queponco. Sinepuxent, Assateague,
Assowoman, Merumsco, Mattowoman,
Nandua Ia subtribe Of the Powhatans)
and Rockawalking (properly Rockia-
wocking) Creek.
Judge Dennis expressed the hope
that some one would be able to furnish
the translations of the names Of which
ne has been unable TO learn the slgni-
ficance and which he considers very
beautiful.
All the names whose significance he
has learned are from the Powhatan
and Nanticoke languages, he says.
Kickotanek, signifying visitor"
mot there" was certainly, he says,
the name of small tribe and also of
king on Swanscecute Creek. The
name has disappeared, unless it possibly
survives in the corrupted from, Kega-
tank.
The original name of Dividing Creek,
which separates Somerset and Worces- :
ter Counties, and on which the first
courthouse was built in Somerset Coun-
ty, was Pannihankin, Judge Dennis
says. The significance of the original
name he has heen unable to learn.

The sociability of the occa- sion was added to materially by two good vocal solos, one by Mrs. l.. D. Dameron and the other by Mrs. N. G. Squire. The subject for the days discussion was salads" and each member of the department gave demonstration in the preparation of some particular kind of salad An other incident in which the public will be interested is that the members of this department of the Woman's club decided to furnish the domestic science department of the public school with a bed and its furnishings, and imme- diately took up a collection for that purpose. Altogether the meeting was both pleasant and instructive.
 ARIZONA'S LATEST PRODUC- TlON-In New York city and other eastern towns the one thing that at tracts attention is the corn-fed and stall-fed beef, but up to the present time this delicacy is practically un- known in the west, more especially in Arizona, where alfalfa is so plentiful The alfalfa grazed beef is of course very tender and juicy, but to the man or woman used to the stall-fed stock of the east it lacks more or less flavor In Europe there is more eottonseed and linseed used in a month than in probably the whole of the United States in year for fattening prime
