AFFLICTED WITH RABIES.
Man Stricken in Waterbury Placed in
a Padded Cell.

Waterbury, Conn.-William Garrl-
son, of No. 2455 Eighth avenue, New
York City, has been stricken here
with hydrophobia. He barked like a
dog and it required the joint service
of three patrolmen to get him to a
padded cell. Ten years ago he was
bitten in New York City by big dog,
and regularly every year he has had
the recurring symptoms, but not VIC
lent.
Nearly three months ago here he
was bitten again by st. Bernard,
and latterly he has been dangerous.

Cook County and Illinois institutions.
The county jail was crowded forty
per cent. over normal capacity until
States Attorney Wayman began a
cleaning out process. The prisons at
Joliet and Chester were never 50
packed with undesirables as they are
now. At Elgin, Kankakee, Dunning
and Anna the insane asylums are
damned as never before. The great
increase in the percentage of insane
is due, say the State alienists, to ner-
vous disorders developed by the
strenuous life. During hard times
the prison and jail records always
show a big increase of inmates.

He crossed the meadows wet with dew;
The violet's choicest hooks he knew;
But did not miss the spell divine
That came to him from Palestine.
Came home with burdened arms ant
flowers,
And said: 6I've gathered these in play
To celebrate this Easter day
Warm faith and hope are manifold
The Masters love is simply told
And down the lengthening path of years,
More beautiful its reign appears.

I asked little boy at plays
When Winters chill had passed away,
What made the sky so soft and blue
Why all things seemed SO changed and
new?
.a.This day, he said, is Easter morn,
And / upon this day was born;
So, where the Easter blossoms grow,
Through fragrant fields for them 60"
He knew the story, broad and free,
From Bethlehem and Galilee;
And felt his life, in some fair guise,
Was linked to their long-hallowed skies.

Kidnapped Was Drowned.
Flint, Mich. Instead of having
been kidnapped when he disappeared
from his home here on February 27.
ten-year-old Harold Moon fell through
the ice of Thread Pond and was
drowned. The long search for the
boy which has been prosecuted in all
parts of the country ended when his
body was found floating on the sur.
face of the pond by Bert Robson, who
had been searching for 1t there for
days.
A pair of skates fastened to the
little feet bore mute testimony to the
manner of the lads death. The small
hands were still covered with the nit
tens which the boy wore when he
went through the ice.
Suspicion developed soon after the
little boys disappearance that he had
been kidnapped. Rewards aggregat.
ing $1,000 were offered for the boy
return. Circulars were sent broad
cast all over the United States.

The IdeaIist.

Count Leo Tolstoi, who has been called
a Socialist and accused Of many other
''isms,' most of which are supposed 10
carry a sneer with them. reveals himself
in these latter days as an idealist. The
world has known long how this man OF
title and inherited wealth has chosen 10
relinQuish all the benefits Of his position
how he has worked with his hands. worn
coarse clothes, lived as simply as a Ia
borer. and. for the work of his brain. his
many books, has declined compensation.
It is a far cry from his books Anna
Karenina. The Kreutzer Sonata" and
War and Peace" 70 his latest book
translations OF which have Just reached
this country. but it Is in this latter book,
written for the children Of a Sunday
school class in his own village, that the
idealism OF Count Tolstoi is manifest. He
calls his essay The Teaching of Jesus. &"
and It is a study Of the Gospels designed
TO carry out his oft-repeated assertion
that the modern nations and the church
are really not practieing Christianity.
It Is the idealist alone who can see with
clear vision the strange anomalies in what
we are pleased to call Christian civiIiza-
ton; the gulf between the classes. even
