Petersburg, va.-After the bitter

old city, Petersburg voted "wet" by
a majority Of SIS in a total of 1892.

, DYING of II HhdrUphObia.

Mr.. William G. Ronse, Cf La
Grange, has arrived in thecity to
take the Pasteur treatment, at
the State Laboratory OF Hy-
geine. The case is one of pecu-
liar interest, as Mr.. Rouse was
not bitten by a mad dog, but
was scratched by a man that
was dying of hydrophobia.
Last Friday he was asked by
the father of a nineteen-year-old
youth, who was dying with hydr.
aphobla, to help him hold his son
on the bed. The other people o1
the community had been asked
to assist in this dangerous task,
but they refused. Mr.. Rouse con
sented, but found the task to be
a d tficult one, as the young
mans strength was abnormal
and his struggles were terrible
to see. The face and hands O
the dying youth were covered
with saliva AMI he scratched Mr.
Rouse on the arm.
The youth was bitten by a mac
dog last May, but no attention
was paid to the matter unit
four days before his death, wher
he was gripped by the deadl.
disease. He never again slept
Tor he was tormented by the ian
cy that he was again being at

Three men are dead as q re-
suit OF football games played in
different parts of the country
last Saturday. Cadet Eugene A.
Byrne, Of the West Point team,
ia one of them injured in a game
between West Point and Har-
ward. Michael Burke, OF the, Med
io.cChi team. is another, injured
in a game between Medico Chi
and the Philadelphia College OF
Pharmacy. The other is Ray Spy
buck, OF. the Haskell University
team, injured in a game between
Haskell University and Buckner
University in Oklahoma. In ad-
dition to these three deaths, az
q result of Saturdays games,
four players were ~eriously and
probably fatally injured
These fatalities AMI injuries
which may result fatally will not
add to the popularity OF the foot
ball game, but doubtless will ere
ate avery gpneraland very strong
demand for the debrutalizing OF
the sport. Following the death
OF Cadet Byrne, the West Point
authorities have determined that
no more football shall I've played
by West Point this season.. 1t is
also expected hat the Naval A.
cademy will abandon the rest o

account of the. Annapolis casual
ity. In fact, a report has heer
circulated to the effect that tn
West Point and Annapolis au
thorities will abolish football
and that a number of college
anl universities will follow suit
There may not I've any truth il
this report. but there is almos
certain to be q renewal OF the ay
itation for the abolition OF th'
: game, or a radical modification
of it's rules. There ought to b
such modification. The game a
