HAT SET ATTIRE IN CHURCH
Nun smothers Blaze, Started by Ia

Lackawanna.-The sight Of q wo-

Our Lady Of Victory during the serV-
ices threw priests and worshipers In
to excitement for q moment. inc
church was crowded to the doors.
Just before the elevation Of the host
each Of the worshipers. men. women

their hands. In some unaccountable
manner the plumage on the hat worn
by an unknown woman became ignited
and in an instant the foliage and feath-
ers which adorned her hat were burn
ing briskly.
Some Of the children in neighboring
pews screamed. One Of the sisters
connected with the Protectory on Vic
tory Hill seized a wrap and wound II
about the burning headgear, smother
ing the blaze. The hat was q total
wreck.
The woman kept her presence OF

sheep, cattle, hogs, squirrels and
skunks can transmit the disease.
Apparently the disease Is increas-
ing, but this may possibly be due In
part to the greater pains taken in the
collection Of the mortality records.
The census bureau statistics show 80
deaths in 1900, II in 1901, 46 In 1902,
43 in 1908. 3S in 1904, A In 1905, IS

During 1908 nearly 1900 persons
were given the Pasteur treatment on
account of having been bitten by
rabid or supposedly rabid animals.
The inquiry by the public health
service shows conclusively that the
only effective way to suppress rabies
In man is to eradicate the disease
among animals. This calls for the de-
struction Of infected animals and the

to health. He returned to Marlboro

SUN VAT SENS LIFE

here and which gave them the fran
chise. Also, holders Of these certih'
Gates could get by the argus-eyed IN
spector OF customs and immigration
agents on the Pacific coast. A certi-
flcate was a valuable asset and rare,
indeed, was the Chinese who was not
willing to tempt an oficial to issue
one on the payment Of much fine gold.
Those Of the Chinese securing the
coveted paper who were old enough
took the oath OF allegiance to the
United States. DR.. Sun Vat Sen was
one Of them. That he had once offer
ed a certificate from the Chinese gov
eminent was not considered a renun-
citation OF his citizenship. His Chinese
certificate, issued by the imperial gov
eminent. was looked upon as q proof
Of residence which carried with It the
right to travel throughout the empire.
Two years later, when the doctor
was in China, the Chinese minister in
Paris cabled his government that the
much wanted man was travelling be-
tween Hanoi and Yunan and should
be arrested. Again the doctor es'
capped. In 1900 he personally led lit
tie band Of 600 rebels in a revolt which
had for its object the overthrow Of the
monarchy and the establishment OF a
government on western ideals. His
force was defeated by 1000 imperial
lists sent against 1t. Later two towns
fell before his little force Of revolu-
tionists.
At night he remarked that the
Manchu dynasty was surely weakening
and that Chinese would rise and drive
the Manchus out Of China. He hoped
to see erected a republican form Of
government.
Events transpiring in the empire
during the past few weeks confirm the
prophecy OF the doctor, for the army
and the navy turn now to the revolu'
tionists as friends, not enemies.

remaining there until he was ten

In 1906 he crossed the Pacific TO the

Then they decided to take passage

arrived safely. While in Honolulu

First Outbreak Reported at Boston u
176e-one Hundred and Eleven
Deaths Caused by This Weird
Disease In 1908.

New York.-Among the many bene-
fetal activities Of the United States
public health and marine hospital
service, a campaign against rabies, un-
dertaken in 1908 and extended since
that time. is Just now Of particular In
terest. The boards Of health Of the
different states have been urged to
make this a "reportable" disease-that
is, one Of which all cases shall be re-
corded. Until that shall be done in
all states the full extent Of this dis
tressing and weird disease cannot be
determined. There is an increasing
demand upon the public health service
for anti-rables serum.
That rabies has been prevalent in
the United States for more than cen
fury is shown by the medical htera'
ture Of the nation. The first outbreak
was reported in Boston in 1853. The
legislative council of the American
Medical association in 1907 recon-
mended that rabies be investigated by
the public health service with a view
to its prevention and control.
In 1908 there were Ill deaths Of hu
man beings from rabies, and 534 cases
among animals were reported during
this time. The disease in both man
and animals was practically confined
to the territory east Of the Missouri
river. It was found to be almost en-
tirely absent from the western states
but during the last Is months It haI
made its appearance on the Pacific
