colors oil and tapestry and china. The outdoor sketch class has accomplished some particularly attractive work this year in both water color and oil. Another interesting feature of the exhibit is called there are very remarkable little studies done as a result of lessons given twice a week to the department by Miss Jones. This is an experiment that has been tried only a month, but has been so enthusias- tically received by the younger girls that the lessons will be continued all through next year.
 Some of the most pleasing work of the class has been in china painting, lustre, etching and eonventionalized designs. These have been the most popular, and some of the eonventionalized work Is ex- quisitely delicate. In one of the rooms next to the studio the work of Miss Jones is exhibited, and after a look at that one no longer wonders at what the students accomplish. Occupying a place of honor that we1e recently exhibited in Chicago. All around the room are hung oil and water color sketches that charm one by the boldness of the execution, and yet softness of tone and wonderful blending of color. There, too, in a cabinet is an attractive collection of china, some very handsome pieces painted during the year by Miss Jones.
 There have been many visitors to the art studio, and everyone was enthusiastic in appr eciation of the work done by the department.

a specia1ist.in the above disease for over 20 years. I will also add s25 to the offer. Dr. Woods found that the oldest hospital in the country the Pennsylvania, had had, tn all it's history, only one supposed case of hydrophobia and this was found to have been diagnosed erroneously. Where did MT. Hardness get his figures? What three years was the English muz- zling law in abeyance' Let him consult the last report of the registrar general of England Q9061. He will find that not single death from hydrophobia was re- ported either in 1906 or any of the pre- ceding three years. In the course of the last eight years only two deaths by hy- drophobia have been reported in Eng land and Wales, and those were regis tered in the year 1902. Dr. Henry w. Cattell, whose studies on the subject have attracted universal attention, said. My Investigations upon the subject of rabies. based upon the actual cases and upon the writings of Pasteur, Negri, Bales, Van Gebuchten, Nelis, Lowden, Hart and many others lead me to believe that while there is such disease, the number of cases actually occurring is much less than one might think from a perusal of some of the reports emanatiHg from so- called Pasteur institutes. During my three years connection with the coroners office there were reported three cases of l.ydrophobia, none of which, upon ill- vestigation by competent baeteriologists, proved to be such. In the past 20 years here in Philadelphia I have known of but three cases which were investigated with sufficient care to lead one to think that death was due to rabies. In many instances, however, the dog which had bitten a human being has been shown to be mad, and yet for one reason or an- other the disease did not develop in the person bitted" Dr. William Osler, in his standard work on pathology, describes pseudo-h hy ydrophobia as follows: Tt Is an interesting affection which may closely resemble hydrophobia but is really noth- ing more than a neurotic manipulation. It lasts much longer than the true rabies and is amenable to treat..ent. It is due to a nervous person bitten by dog and who has only symptoms of the disease" pr Osler also states that the disease is of rare occurrence. In view of these facts trust the Authorities will not heed the resolutions of the medical society but leave things as they are.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Health Office on Scarlet Fever.

Health Office on Scarlet Fever.
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald: In last Saturdays issue of The Age Herald report is published from pr. R, B. Hardness, city health officer, in which he dwells particularly upon the unusual number of scarlet fever cases for this season of the year. He tells of 13 such cases that occurred during the month of April last, five of which, he says, were in one non-Jewish habtation, where two families were crowded in a small building. Practically all the other (eighb cases" he adds, "occurred in a restricted district inhabited largely by Russian Jews, among whom the health laws are subject to fragrant violation"
 AS newcomer in this town, and as one who is personally interested in the fate of those subjected to Dr. Hardness scrut- iny, I should like to be informed as to where that Jewish district lies against which this gentlemen sounds the alarm as being a nest of disease, and which all the good citizens of Birmingham must necessarily shun. So far as I have learned it from inquiry as well as from personal observation during the three months of my sojourn in this city, there is no such district here you might call "a rer, stricted Jewish district" unless you were to brand the whole of the Northside as a Jewish Ghetto.
 Besides, l am assured by several prac- ticing physicians here that the area thus afflicted is not confined to any particular limits. While during the month of April scarlet fever happened to be more pre- valent in the Northside, the disease was in the preceding months no less prevalent in other sections of the town, and show ing no regard for person or nationality it had already smitten even the more fash ionable quarters of the South Highlands and Fountains Heights. Against these pr. Hardness made no outcry.
 Again, I fail to see how this medical gentleman came to know that the health laws, or any other laws were so dread fully disregarded by those he calls Rus

sian Jews" As it happened to be, four or five from among the eight cases point ed out by Dr. Hardness really had oe- cured in Jewish homes; but the attend ing physicians, Tn furnishing account of them all, said that the conduct of the inmates were simply admuable insofar as the observance of the quarantine rules are concerned; that those people were cultured and well-bred Americans-besides being Jews-and that never was there a more scrupulous cleanliness, better sani- tary keeping and a stricter following out of the physicians orders than those wit messed at the homes mentioned. In one instance a baby years old was re- moved from home and kept from the mothers care for six successive weeks. In another instance, two children were away from home and utility for five weeks. The same rigid observance of the health laws had prevailed in the other Jewish homes.
 Now it Is passing strange that city official in presenting his figures to the public print should be so careless about actual facts, and should without definite cause permit himself to cast aspersions upon a peaceful and law-abiding class of citizens. Respectfully,

About Muzzles and Rabies.

To the Editor of the Age Herald:
 II notice with regret the renewal of the question anent the muzzling of dogs. think such agitation conduces more than anything else to the aggravation of the hydrophobia craze. In spite of the fact, as Dr. Charles w. Dulles says, that vet erinarians have been asserting that ra- bies in the lower animals was increasing. there has been no increase in the num- Der of cases of hydrophobia in human beings except in and about towns or cit ies where Pasteur institutes have been in operation or Pastenr institute state ments have been circulated.
 In other words, 1t is in these regions that hysterical excitement over imagi- nary danger is most stimulated. He also states that he has been much impressed with. the commercial aspect of the Pas teur institutes. How the Jefferson Coun- ty Medical society adopted such resolu- tions is more than l can understand. If any doctor in the district is able to show a genuine case of rabies he can claim $lG0 from Dr. Mathew Woods of Philadelphia,

Song of the Beginner

From the Chicago News. Since have bought motor car
 envy street cars so; The tracks disclose just where they are And also where to go. One cannot make the steering gear
 Go wabbling to the curb If one but regulates the speed
 There's nothing to disturb. I love to ride in street cars, too;
 l feel so snug and safe. l feel that if the car should do
 To death some needless waif Or some pretentious citizen,
 I should not be to blame. The motorman may care, but then
 I'll flourish just the same. So, since I've bought motor car
 I ride whene'er I can Upon trolley car and scoff
 The becoming motorman. He bangs his gong in lieu of hoots,
 His manners frank and free. I jeer at him but wish his boots

SENIORS ENTERTAIN INF FORMALLY AT MARGARET ALLEN SCHOOL.


 The seniors at the Margaret Allen school entertained last evening at most original and delightful party. Instead of the usual class day exercises, when the prophet, the historian and the statisti- clan tell their stories, this school is fol- lowing a rather unique plan. Last even ing in accordance with the custom estab- lished few of their friends were in- vited to an informal reception, at which the young ladies themselves were sole hostesses, and it was found that they had planned a most delightful evening. The group of seven girls made a charm- ing picture in their gowns of dainty col ors, each young face alight with the con sciousness of duties done. Miss Agnes Walter Is the class president. Her fare well address to the group of schoolmates surrounding her was a graceful and ap propriate response to their request for a talk. Miss Felicia Streit is the class statistician, Miss Mary Lou Cobb proph- ct, Miss Louisa Gibson historian and Miss Mayo Thach secretary and treas ured. The paper delivered by each was brimfula of humor and brightness. Miss Cobb illustrated her bright prophecies of the future history of her classmates with reflections of photographs and scenes cast on large canvas. As this feature was unexpected, it was doubly interesting.
 The graduating class includes Miss Az nes Merrick Walter. Miss Kathleen Spott- wood Payne Norvell, Miss Mary Lou Cobb, Miss Felicia Porter Streit,'. Miss Stella Mayo Thach and Miss Louisa Isa- bel Gibson. Miss Hazel Gwin Copeland is a certificate pupil.

WILLIAM L. YANCEY CHAPTER
 HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING.

William l.. Yancey chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, met yes- terday afternoon with Mrs. Alex Cecil as hostess. The report of the convention in Washington was given by Mrs. Charles Sharp, who told of a number of episodes both interesting and amusing, relative to the stay of the Alabama delegation in Washington. The Social side of the con- vention was charmingly described, and the members heard Mrs Sharp's story with intense interest. She concluded with the following remarks as to Mrs. Brown, the retiring president of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which touched a responsive chord in the hearts of the members present:
 At this. the thirteenth annual meet ing,'' said Mrs. Sharp, Mrs. Charles G. Brown finished her term of office. Look ing back over her two years work, her friends feel that she has done her work nobly and well. Endowed with untiring zeal, energy and devotion to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, she has accomplished much for the Alabama di- vision. She has hewn close to what she
 
 division, regardless of the fact that inev- itable criticism from opposing sources would follow. The conventions over which she has presided have gone down in history as the most harmonious since the first two conventions. She has pre- sided with tact, fairness and fearlessness, and it was a matter of remark at Hunts vile that she arose to every emergency and at all times had a ready and appro- priate response. Too much credit cannot be given to Mrs. Browns administration and to her personal effort for the return of the Confederate flags, which made the Huntsville convention the most note worthy and memorable of the state con- ventions.''
 The meeting concluded with pleasant informal reception. Delightful refresh ments were served to the members who attended in large numbers.
