He sends along the knife’ with which he did the work, an ordinary knife’ that would cost about 25 cents. On the cane, which is a rather large one, are 103 images. Twelve of the images are of persons, and a number. of them are good likenesses, These images begin at the top of the cane, and include George Wash- ington, President Roosevelt, Queen Victoria, Mrs, Ida MeKinley, widow of the late president, and Christ on the cross, There are 15 fowls, three dogs and six houses on the cane, The other images include a butterfly, honey bee, house fly, bear, ox, hare, monkey, chair, pot, ax, hand and balance, can- non, seven small guns, ship, four flags, horn, three shrubs, pocket knife, a sea dog, pig, goat, reindeer, head, mule’s head, sword, shoe, book, turtle, giraffe, fish, rose, three links (insignia of the odd fellows), ehip- munk, sheep’s head, squirrel, masonic badge, heart, star, moon, umbrella, six figures, six letters, snake and rope, Many of the images are well carved, but the cane throughout does not mnent of the day.

He says: “Half the pictures bought by Amer- icans are either copies or forgeries. It is time to put an end to such frauds as that by which blank canvases bear- ing the dates of 1830 or 1848 are sold, at the prices of masterpieces, to deal- ers who produce and sell as genuine what are only imitations of the masters of those periods.” This observation was made in talk- ing about the lately discovered tam- Ing with one of his most celebrated pictures, “La Promenade de la Cour Dans Les Jardins de Versailles” (the promenade of the court in the gardens of Versailles).

The Germ of the Dread Diaense Haw Reen Discovered and Fully Analyzed, Prof, Sormani, of the University of iven to the Chicago Chron- icle ce pondent the following statement in regard to the significance of his discovery of the hydrophobia mi- crobe: . “Ths discovery fills a great gap in modern science, for heretofore we have been totally ignorant of the mi- crobe of hydrophebia, The researches of other bacteriologists have re in descriptions by various auth of this microbe, but.none had been able to embody in one and the saine whole the various details discovered, “The microbe being poly- morphous 0, many formed, the diseov- erers of the various forms did not asso- ciate them in one bifiogical connection. Then the study of all the different forms required an enormous amount of time, research and the best appli- ances, all of which I have been able to give them. “The microbe itself is extraordinar- ily small, being visible only when en- larged from 1,200 to 1,500 diameters and observation is only possible at 2,000 to 3,000 diameters. “The discovery of the microbe will remove all obscurity in the Pasteur methods, rabies antitoxin being pro- curable from scientifically propagated microbes instead of from the issues of diseased animals, the purity of rabies which is uncertain, “It completes Pasteur’s discovery and supplies a certain cure for rabies when properly applied. The microbe was obtained from the salivary glands and nerve tissues of rabid animals, “It has a remarkable facility for These changes Sometimes it is CRAPE ON DOOR FOR DOG: New York Owner of Dead Canine Alao Has a Notice of the Death Printed.

He is mourned by his owner, William T. Harris, and a host of friends.” Tt was placed below the regular death notices. The dog was a fox ter- rier, owned by William T.

It was the young man’s first trip this side of the Father of Waters, and all was strange to him. He landed safe, though five days delayed. It was but an hour's work to conform to the laws of Tennessee as expounded by Judge Thomas Ivie, deputy county clerk, and with Elder W. L, Logan he proceeded to the classic region of Gum, six miles south of Murfreesboro, where his beautiful bride. had five days been expectantly ‘waiting, With appro- priate words, Elder Logan solemnized the service that made Miss Lulu J, Mackey, daughter of Capt. John A Mackey, the wife of Samuel J. Lap thorne, The romance dates back about three years, from which time the young couple have been in correspondence, The bride's people pe rsistently*refuse to state how the correspondence came about, but it is conjectured that it was through an advertising agency, The bride's people are well known here. and substantial farmers in the Gum neighborhood. The young groom rep- resents himself to be a lead-mine ownet and worth a good many millions. The young people left at once for the wind- swept region of the Dakotas, where they will make their home.

Extensive Plans Laid for the Univer. sal Application of Wireless Telegraphy. John Bottomley Feneral manager for the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America, has announced that work would soon be begun for the installation of wireless stations cap- able of covering pretty much all the world. “In view of the opposition,” said Mr, Bottomley “it is impossible for me to tell all our plans at the present time, but a number of stations will be set up here very soon. There is no reason that I know of why communication cannot be established between here and San Francisco soon. It has been proved to our satisfaction that wire- less messages can be sent over the land as well as over the sea, “We are at present making arrange- ments to put a number of our sta- tions at points along the Pacific, It is safe to say that New York will be adequately equipped, too.” DONIZETTI’S SKULL FOUND, Missing Craniom of the Italian Come poser Has Been Used as a Recep- tacle for Ink-Drying Powder.

Mr. Dawes entered Congress asa Tepresentative from Massachusetts in 1857 and served nearly forty years. In 1857 he went to the Sen- ate. His pet hobby was the Indians and much of the legislation on that subject for many years originated with Mr. Dawes. He was chairman of Indian affairs in the Senate, The Dawes commission to the indians was named after him, Mr. Dawes went to the Iudian territory and lived among the Indians in order that he might learn their habits and needs, It is said of Mr. Dawes that he went alone among natives of the most treacherous tribes and that he never saw an Indian whom he feared. Train Stalled in Tunnel; Passenger Ef- fects Rescue, Wentachie, Wash., Feb. 5.—The eastbound Great Northern train, due here at 3:30 a. m., was stuck in the tunnel for nearly two hours. The train was being hauled by two engines, and the engineers and fire- men of both were overcome by gas from the engines, The passenger named Abbott made his way to the engines, released the air brakes nnd let _the-trainsnekea— gravity run out. When the train arrived at Wentachie at + o'clock the conductor, brakemen and two women passengers were still uncon- scious, But for the heroie work of Abbott all on the train would have been suf- foeated, it is believed. The train be- came stalled through an accident to the air brakes. The tunel is nearly two miles long. Women Vutnumber Men. New Orleans, La., February 5.—An abstract of the late New Orleans cen- sus just published develops some strange facts concerning the city. It is surprising to note that there are 15,000 more women in this city than men. In the official count only per- sons over 10 years of age are includ- ed. There ure 105,383 mules and 120,449 femnaies. In New Orleans there are 187 women engaged in agricultural pursuits—-women with the hoe, as it were. Thereare 30,000 domestic female servants here, while 20,000 are employed in factories, The women who are able to support themselves and do so number 21,- 000, while nearly 100,000 are de- pendent. There are 53,000 dwell- ings, which contain 62,000 families, In each,house are 5.4 persons, and to each family are 4.6 persons. A Singer Fell From a Window. * St. Louis, Feb. 5.—William Paull, of London, leading baritone of the Castle Square Opera company, show- jing at the Century theater here, is dead as the result of a fall froma sixth story window of the Southern hotel. His skull was fractured and his left arm was broken. When pick- ed up on the pavement Mr. Paull was unconscious. He was taken back to his room in the hotel, where he died soon after. It is not kuaown whether the fall was accidental or not. Mr. Paull married Miss Ethel Gor- don, of Sydney, Australia, two years ago. The bride came 13,000 miles tomarry. She had just left the hotel for a walk when her husband fell. City Marshal is Wounded. Palmyra, Mo., Feb. 5.—In a hand- to-hand encounter this morning with ~ Charles Winters, @ negro, wanted in Towa, Marshal John Wilson was cut and severely wounded. The encounter took place between Moody and West Quincy, whither the Marshal had pursued the negro. Wilson was badly cut with a knife about his right eye, and the wound bled so profusely that he had to re- turn here for medical attention. Winters escaped to the woods with bullets in his body.
