ONE DEATH FROM RABIES.
FOrty-one Persons Were Treated 4,
District During Year.

A report published by the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service
states that forty-one persons were treat
ed for rabies in the District during 1911.
and that there was one death from that
cause.
Seventy-two infected animals wer,
found IN the same period. but these fig
ures are not reliable because Of the Diff
hculty OF discovering the disease among
animals
The report also shows a spread Of
rabies on the Pacific Coast. which was
almost free from the disease In 1868 The
disease was also reported from a much
larger number of Localities than for
merly, indicating a generalized spread
OF the rabies to previously uninfected
territory

Some poor art is to be seen in this
country in the shape of statues dedi-
Gated to the memory of great men. but
no American enormity in this line quite
equals that which was perpetrated by
an English sculptor for the town of
Reading. When the fellow townsmen
of a certain George Palmer of that place
decided to honor his memory they de-
termined upon bronze statCe of Pal
mer. which should be not merely
portrait as to features. but a correct
presentment of him as he appeared
among them every day. Accordingly.
the stranger in Reading is startled by
the most unconventional of statues.
with every crease and wrinkle of the
hofnely attire of the original repro
duced. TO complete the effect the stat
ue is bareheaded. with silk hat and um-
hrella in hand. 1t is thought that this
is the only instance in which the
necessary but not entirely beautiful
umbrella has been reproduced in

1.-THE Divorce Question"

Rowland and Clifford will present
THE Divorce Question" by William
Anthony Mcclure at the Gennett,
Thursday, December 2. The splendid
success of this play at McVickers
theatre in Chicago, where 107 perform
ances were given, proves conclusively
the merit of this attraction and,
moreover, gives ample evidence that
the public OF nowadays want a SER
ious play-onc that will benefit them
educationally and will give the NOR
al code of the public an opportunity
to reflect on the evil of divorce and
its attendant misery.
THE Divorce Question" ably por-
trays many of the sad conditions aris-
ing from the numerous divorces of to-
day. The author believes in remedial
legislation and in this play he graph
ically illustrates his contentious in
a gripping story that holds the audi
tor spell-bound and teaches a lesson
never to be forgotten.
This stirring play enlisted the aid
of the clergy irrespective of denom-
ination during its Chicago run, and
the church was loud in it's praise of
the good this powerful argument
could accomplish.
