HAT SET AFIRE IN CHURCH
Nun Smothers Blaze, Started by Ia
per, With Wrap in Lackawanna-
Women Uninjured.

Lackawanna.-The sight or a Wo-
mans hat ablaze in the Church OF
Our Lady of Victory during the serV-
ices threw priests and worshipers in
to excitement for a moment. Inc
church was crowded to the doors.
Just before the elevation OF the host
each of the worshipers, men, women
and children, held lighted tapers IN
their hands. In some unaccountaDIe
manner the plumage on the hat worn
by an unknown woman became 1gnlted
and in an instant the foliage and feath-
ers which adorned her hat were burn
ing briskly.
Some of the children in neighboring
peys screamed. One of the sisters
connected with the Protectory on VIC
tory Hill seized wrap and wound 1t
about the burning headgear, smother
ing the blaze. The hat was a total
wreck.
The woman kept her presence or
mind and was not injured in any way
whatever.

Begin Rabies Campaign

tirely absent from the western states,
but during the last Is months 1t has
made its appearance on the Pacific
coast, transmitted, presumably, by ami
mails from the eastern part of the
country. Dogs, cats. wolves, horses,
sheep, cattle, hogs, squirrels and
skunks can transmit the disease.
Apparently the disease is increas-
ing, but this may possibly be duo in
part to the greater pains taken in the
collection of the mortality records.
The census bureau statistics show 80
deaths in 1900, Al in 1901, IS in 1902,
40 in 1903, SO in 1904, A in 1905, 85
in 1906, Is in 1907 and Ill in 1908.
During 1903 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
muzzling of all dogs in infected areas

MAN TASTED FIFTY-SIX DAYS
HanIey of Marlboro Apparently Has
Fully Recovered from Terrible
Suffering He Endured.

INSTRUMENTATION B. Hanley, who
disappeared from Marlboro April 20
and who was found fifty-six days aft
erward in a swamp near Westboro in
a weakened condition, has apparently
fully recovered from the terrible suf-
ferings that he endured.
When he was found he was barely
able to breathe, and his life was al
most despaired Of He was taken in
charge by physicians and sent away
to Forge village, where, under the
open-air treatment, he was restored
to health He returned to Marlboro
the other night, and he is apparently
as well as ever. He is as heavy as he
ever was, and eats well and his mind
is as clear as a bell. He speaks but
little concerning his awful experience,
but there is no question that during
the entire fifty-six days he went
without food.

First Outbreak Reported at Boston In
1768-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, campaign against rabies, I'M
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 "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-rabies serum.
That rabies has been prevalent in
the United States for more than cen
tury is shown by the medical litera-
ture of the nation. The first outbreak
was reported in Boston in 1868. The
legislative council of the American
Medical association in 1907 recon-
mended that rabies be investigated by
the public health service with view
to its prevention and control.
In 1908 there were Ill deaths of hui
man beings from rabies, and 534 cases
amorg animals were reported during
this time The disease in both man
and animals was practically confined
to the territory east of the Missouri
river. 1t was found to be almost en-

Chief of Republic Has Had an
Adventurous Career.
Went to Hawaiian School-Proficient

Honolulu, H. 1.-The young Chi

Hawaiian born Chinese and rs per

somewhere in China. Is it to be won
dertd at that progressiveness has had
such hold where the president OF
the new republic was brought into the
world? Dr. Sun Vat Sen was born in
Kula, Island of Maui, November "a,
1870, and was taken to China by his
parents when about four years of age,
remaining there until he was ten
years old.
In 1906 he crossed the Pacific to the
mainland and was admitted to the
United States as a Chinese student
and traveller on a certificate procured
by him in China. After touring the
United States and Europe he returned
to Hawaii, making Honolulu his home.
What remained of his family resided
at the old homestead on Maui until
about four years ago, when the price
on the head of the doctor reached an
exorbitant figure.
Then they decided to take passage
from Honolulu to Japan. where they
arrived safely. While in Honolulu
and on the voyage to Japan agents of
the dowager empress lowered danger
ously close to the family, apparently
with view to kidnapping the mem
bers and holding them as hostages
against the revolutionary doctor.

and was a source of income to many
attorneys, for the Chinese would pay
any price for a certificate which show

here and which gave them the fran
chise. Also, holders of these certifl-
Gates could get by the argus-eyed in
spector of customs and immigration
agents s~l the Pacific coast. A certi-
ficate was a valuable asset and rare,
indeed, was the Chinese who was not
willing to tempt an official to issue
one on the payment of much fine gold.

coveted paper who were old enough
took the oath of allegiance to the
United States. DR.. Sun Vat Sen was

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 Yu1an and should
be arrested. Again the doctor es-

Treachernous Indians of Long AGO.
When the white man first came to
Arizona there were approximately 49,
900 Indians within the borders of the
territority. The principal tribes were
the Navajos, Hopis, Wallapais, Cheme-
huevis, Havasupias, Mohaves, Pimas,
Maricopas, Yumas. Papagoes and
Apaches, of which there were several
groups or divisions. The Navaios
perpetrated several massacres in the
early days. but 1T was not long before
all the Indians except the Apaches
had been subdued.
Tricky and cruel. the Apaches held
out for many years against the in
roads of the whites upon their ancient
hunting grounds. Such leaders as
Cochise, Geronimo and Natchez led the
Apaches against famous American
generals like Nelson A. Miles and
George Crook. A reward of $4,000
was once offered for Apache Kid. but
was never claimed
Up to 1874 the Indians terrorized
large sections of the territory and
kept out immigration and capital. In
that year all the Apaches that could
be rounded up were placed on the
San Carlos reservation. 1t was sup
posed that an end had been put to
the Indian troubles. but raids in 1882
