When bitten by an animal that IL
suspected as mad. the best thing to do.
according to Drs. j. @. Regan and A.
Silkman Of New York, who describe

to squeeze the wound to encourage
bleeding, wash 1t with solution of
mercuric chloride Il in 1,OOO), cauter-
lie 1t with fuming nitric acid, and ap-
ply wet dressing of the mercuric

The wound should never be sewn up |;
If deep punctured wound, it should

The sooner this treatment is applied
the more likely 1t is to be successful.

Humorous Incidents In connection

connection with the capture Of VII.
lage from the Germans. A detach-

only to find that tank had beaten
them by four minutes In the race to
the market square. The usual young
officer was In charge, and when the
major came along he handed the vii
lage over to his superior officer, and
then shyly asked for something to
show, "just to show, sir, that we were

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-tBy Mail)
---Recoilections OF the political feud
which. resulted In the duel between
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr
at weehawken. N. j.. In 1904, have
been revived here by the merger OF
the Manhattan Company and the
Merchants National banks; two OF
the oldest financial Institutions IN

For more than 116 years the two
estahlishments haze dYelt, side by
side at 40 ana ~ wall street. and In
1882 they united in the construction
OF the new building which they have
occupied Jointly ever since. In the
union OF these once rival institutions

last tangible trace of the most fam
ous Of early American antasonisms.
Although the banks themselves have
long since buried the hatchet."
there was q time when they were
neighbors In name oniy--when the
mere suggestion of their getting to-

his opportunity came In 1893. In
that year he introduced a bill in the
legislature which authorized the
granting Of a charter to company
which was Gstensibly TO be formed
for the purpose of Improving the
water supply Of New York city. The
city. then with a population OF 5o.-
900. had just passed through q Sc
we're epidemic and Burr's project
quickly met with popular approval.
The real object OF the Manhattan
Company was to supply Republicans
with the sinews of war. -
Republican merchants. II was
said. were discriminated against by
the Federalist bank. whereas their
Federalist competitors we're freely
accommodated when they sought
funds to carry on their business,
The adroitsess which Barr employed
TO obtain . charter was emphasized
by the fact that the sFederalists had
o majority IN the iegislaiure. Hence
the omission of the word bank from
the Manhattan Company. ',-..s-a--.
The petition for the proposed

as 1t was not known how much capi-
tai would be required. the projectors
did not want to risk failure by a de-
ficiency of capital. and therefore
asked authority to raise $2.00o.000.
Inserted In the charter was provi-
sion OF Burr's that "the surplus capi-
tai may be employed In any way not
Inconsistent with the laws OF the
Constitution of the United States or
OF the state Of New York"
The senate and house passed the
bill expeditiously. few members even

The Manhattan Company's actual
achievement in the water works
field consisted Of the sinking OF a
well, as feet in diameter. in what is
now downtown New York. The
water was pumped to nearby re-
servoir and thence distributed
through wooden pipes to a few con-
sumers. The dams and other pro-
jects provided In the charter were
never constructed. Occasionally ex-
cavators in lower Manhattan have
dug up pieces of hollowed-out logs,

a part of the records Of the fire de-

know at a glance the best means CT
