A bona fide case of hydrophobia occur- red in this city last week and resulted in the death of Mrs. Bridget Scanlon of 209 L street northeast, the wife of John Scan- lon, a well-known contractor. Mrs. Scan- lon was bitten September 26 by a dog, which was tied in the yard of her rest- dence and kept as a watch dog. Symp- toms of the dread disease developed Oc- tober 11, and death followed two days later. The animal was killed and sent to the Agricultural Department for examination. Extracts from the carcass were injected into several rabbits, and they all died, af- fected with rabies, according to an offical report from the department. Dr. Behrend of 1214 K street northwest, ewho attended Mrs. Scanion, stated to a Btar reporter this afternoon that the pub- lished statement that the deceased died from attack of typhoid fever was Incorrect. ding to Dr. Behrend, larg2 numbers of dogs are running at’ large through the streets of the city at present ing from rabies and are therefore eedingly dangerous.

PRESIDENT BARRETTS REPORT READ a Statistics of Progress and Some Important Recommendations. COMMITTEES APPOINTED —————— The third annual convention of the Na- tional Spiritualist Association opened its first day's session at Masonic Temple at 10 o’clock this morning. The meeting was called to order by President H. D. Barrett with rather a small attendance of delegates and visitors. More delegates are expected to arrive during the day, however, as the annual convention is an event of import- ance to the spiritualists of the United States and usually attracts a large audi- ence. Mrs. Mary T. Longley opened the day’s business with prayer, and invoked divine blessing upon the convention and its de- liberations, after which President Barrett delivered the opening address. The President’s Address. Mr. Barrett said that in the outset it is well to remember that many froblems con- front the meeting which will demand so- lution. Events have occurred within the past year that demand serious thought. ‘There are signs in the skies indicating that spiritualism is making progress. New so- cleties are springing up, wise men and wo- men all over the land are making inquiries into the philosophy and phenomenon of Harrison D. Barrett, President. spiritualism; scholarly men are asking for facts concerning modern spiritualism. Writers in the leading magazines want in- formation and a request has come from one source that the spiritualists enroll themselves among the religious orgariza- tiovs of the world. He therefore congrat- ulated the order upon the brightening skies in this direction. “We should not forget, Mr. Barrett, “that clouds are thwarting our sky. There are memorials from our workers who have been placed under the ban of the law, ond we must consider their cases. We are in a position to demand the regpect of the nation because we com- mand our own respect. We are writing history for future ages to read. The world can be made better or worse by our ef- forts and we must put them forth.” Welcomed to Washington. Mrs. M. E. Cadwallader of Philadelphia delivered the address of welcome to the delegates in behalf of the national board and the Washington society. She said this convention will be full of work and earnest labor. She asked the delegates to deliberate carefully that their utterances may go forth to the spiritualists of the world and mark this as a red letter period in the history of spiritualism. Mrs. Cadwallader’s welcome was brief, but appropriately worded and with the ring of sincerity. Response in behalf of the delegates was made by Mrs. Abbie E. Sheets of Michigan, who, in a few well-chosen words, acknowl- edged appreciation of the welcome extended though,” said ‘Theodore J. Mayer, T#easurer. and in closing expresséd the hope that some day the women of the land will be wel- comed to the capital of the nation as the lawmakers also. This sentiment was vigor- ously applauded by the audience. Committees Appointed. President Barrett appointed standing com- mittees 2s follows: On credentials, Frank Walker, J. B. Hatch and Col. Freeman; on rules, E. W. Bond, A. H. Richardson and A. P. Longley. An intermission of twenty minutes in tke proceedings was then taken to permit the committees to re- port. Pending the return of the commit- tees, a short address was made by Dr. Fuller of Massachusetts. 2 The committee on credentials reported that some of the delegates had no cre- dentials, and that many societies were rep- resented by proxies. The committee on rules reported that or- dinary rules of parliamentary proceedings shall prevail, and that speeches shall be limited to ten minutes. . The following committees were then ap- pointed: Resolutions, E. W. Bond, Wm. P. Ripley, Chas. W. Stanglen, Mrs. M. T. Longley and Mrs. J. A. Chapman; on sec- retary’s report, Capt. E. W. Gould, Clara Field Conant, E. R. Whiting, Mrs. A. M. Glading and S. Pope; on delegates’ re- ports, Dr. Ewell, Mrs. J. J. Whiting, Sime- on Snow, I. P. Walton and Mrs. R. Walton. On president's report—Dr. Geo. A. Fuller, Mrs. A. E. Sheets, Mrs. J. R. Francis, H. W. Richardson and E. W. Emerson. On finance—Dr. E. A. Smith, Geo. W. Burnkam, Jas. F.

Moulton offered a resolution p:oposing an amendment to the act of in- corporation of the national rociety chang- ing the incorporation into another class un- der the District law, which would give the association wider scope of action. Mr. Movlton said the board of trustees recom- mended the change. The resolution was re- ferred to the committee on resolutions. Mrs. Cadwallader, in behalf of the spirit mediums, who are being persecuted, asked the convention to consider means for their aid. She said the spiritualists repudiate fortune tellers, and genuine mediums have been arrested as fortune tellers. She pre- sented a petition from the mediums of Philadelphia, accompanied by affidavits setting forth cases in point. The petitions were referred, and will be acted upon later. The Annual Report. At the afternoon session, which convened at 2 o'clock, President Barrett read his an- nual repart. He said the national associa- tion has added sixty-five per cent to its membership during the past year. A con- servative estimate would give an increase of ten per cent to the ranks of spiritual- ists. He claimed there are bona fide spirit- ualists to the number of 125,000 in the Unitel States, but ten times this number are interested in spiritual phenomenon, and attend the Sunday services. The spiritual- ist camp meetings have increased in num- ber from forty to fifty-two, and there are at present over 600 societies actively at work. Mr. Barrett deplored his apparent failure to make extensive collections during the year, and said it was due to his prolonged ilness and “to that spirit of parsimony that is unfortunately extant amongste a large percentage of our spiritualists.” Persecution of Mediums. Mr. Barrett called attention to the perse- cutions of spirit mediums throughout the country. He said there have been fifty- two arrests of mediums in the United States upon all kinds of trumped-up charges that would enable the law to get hold of them. He said the Seventh Day Adventists and Eugene V. Debs have also felt the iron hand of oppression. He men- tioned this, he said, because it bears di- rettly on points that spiritualism repre- sents—freedom of speech and equal rights for all and special privileges to none. He eaid the spiritualists have also been in- volved in alleged violations of the Sunday laws. He recommended that committees on litigation and legislation be appointed in each community, with adequate means to conduct an aggressive and vigorous fight against the persecution of spiritual- ists. Toe Go Into Politics. He recommended that spiritualists go irto politics, claiming that other churches are now engaged in that business. “I do not advocate the organization of spiritual- ists into political clubs,” sald Mr. Barrett, “put I do advocate the doctrine of each citizen spiritualist doing his full duty at every election. Our votes should be cast from principle, not for partisan ends, and I hold that every man asking our suffrage should be placed on record upon all of the important questions that especially affect us as a people. When a man in either party is found ready to pledge himself to de the right, then we should support him as a unit. “A striking example of what the spirit- ualists can do if they try Is found in the defeat of Gen. Foraker In 1883 In Ohio. I recommend that this convention consider this matter at length and speak with no urcertain sound thereupon.” ‘Mr. Barrett made numerous recommenda- tions for carrying on the routine work of the order, and plead earnestly for more funds. : Tonight’s Session. ‘The day sessions of the convention are free, but at the evening session a fee of 25 cents will be charged for admission.

The proceedings of today's sessions of the annuai meeting of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Epis- copal Church South, which began at Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church yesterday, were commenced at 10 a.m. with singing. After devotional exercises, which were conducted by Mrs. J. S. Martin of Staun- ton, Va., the minutes of yesterday's pro- ceedings were read by Mis’ Nina Wilson, recording secretary, a daughter of Bishop A. W. Wilson of Baltimore. A report from Moorefield, W. Va., district, which was read by Secretary Wilson, stated that there were seven societies in the dis- trict. Of these some have overpaid their assessments for the missionary cause, while others have not done so well. The great reed throughout the district is missionary education. In Baltimore. Mrs. A. H. Strother of Baltimore urged that a district meeting to advance the mis- sionary cause be held in each of the dis- tricts composing. the Baltimore conference during the ensuing year. Miss Gertrude Fowler and Miss Cherry Moses were introduced by Secretary Wil- son, who stated they would act as pages during the rest of the sessions. ; Some Facts. The following facts relative to the work of the Missionary Society were stated: The home work is represented by thirty-four conference societies, 2,184 auxiliaries, 39,569 members, 1,227 Young People’s and Chil- @ren’s societies, 29,990 members, 3,411 or- ganizations, 69,559 total members, thirty- four conference secretaries, and 270 district secretaries. The amount contributed dur- ing the fiscal year for the foreign fields was $03,951.98, and for the Scarritt Bible and Training School, $6,396.91; total, $70,- S4y.89. During the past year 556,000 leaflets have been published, comprising 2,318,000 pages of varied missionary literature. Mrs, A. W. Wilson, as editor, has shown rare adaptability. Ot the thirty-eight missionaries support- ed by the society, fifteen are working in China, fourteen in Mexico, eight in Brazil and one in the Indian mission. in Indian m.ssiun Key. s.

Though the Chinese empire has been dis- quieted by war, the centers at which the work is established have been undisturbed.

The remarkable development of the work in Mexico makes It the largest projected by the beard in any missign fiejd. The four- teen missionaries are distributéd in the three conferences.

The missionary societies among the women are kept up with interest. 1)» Some Addresses. A number of letters from milssion schools were read. Rev. Dr. Rumsey Smithson, presiding elder, and Rey. J. T. Williams, pastor of the M. E. Church South, Alexan- dria, Va., were intreduce@. By request Dr. Smithson made a short address, in which he expressed his great gratification that so many of those interested in the missionary cause were present at the annual meeting of the society, a fact which he said he thought was very encouraging for all con- cerned. At 12:30 noon, after the benediction had been pronounced by Rev. Dr. Canter, the society took a recess until 2 p.m. Upon reassembling the reading of re- ports was resumed, and it is expected the election of officers will be held during the afternocn.

WARMLY WELCOMED Commissioner Ross Delivers an Ad- dress to the Liquor Men. THE OPENING OF THE CONVENTION Reports Are Considered by the Dele- gates in Executive Session. SYNOPSIS OF THE PAPERS The third annual convention of the Na- tional Retail Liquor Dealers’ Association of the United States was called to order in the red parlor of the Ebbitt House this morn- ing by First Vice President John Morrisey of Syracuse, N. Y., in the absence of Presi- dent Beattey, from whom a telegram had been received stating his inability to be present. Mr. Morrisey made a pleasant little speech, and concluded by calling on Mr. E. L. Jordan, president of the local as- sociation, to escort District Commissioner Ross to the parlor. Mr. Ross, upon his en- trance, was greeted by applause, and was in- troduced in a few well-chosen words by Mr. Jordan. Speech of Commissioner Ross. Commissioner Ross said the association had followed the modern system of hold- ing its convention in Washington. A better time could not have been chosen; it was an ideal moment to see Washington at ‘ts best. The trees retained their follage, the October air was clear and crisp, and everything com- bined to make the visit of the delegates opportune. He was sure the local commit- tees would show the visitors everything worth seeing, Mt. Vernon, Arlington, Sol- diers’ Home and the public buildings. The latter, he said, belonged to the visitors, for they were citizens of the Union, and as such were the proprietors of the gational capital. He hoped they would not fall to see the 11¢w Congressional Library,the finest building for its purpose in the world. Mr. Ross then ex- plained the reason why the United States government paid half the expenses of the District, by stating that it owned $18,000,000 worth of property in the District. He went into statistical records of the city, showing how it was twenty-eighth in manufacturing importance and fourteenth in population in the United States, and gave interesting facts about its streets, trees and improvements generally. He then dwelt upon the signifi- cance of the city as the seat of the govern- ment, where the laws of the entire country were made, and taking the passage of the Uberty bell to Atlanta as a theme, paid a Patriotic tribute to the institutions of the country. He closed by expressing the hope that the visit of the delegates to the capital would result in their returning to their homes with a greater love for those insti- tutions of freedom and a greater determina- tion to uphold the laws of their country, ard that they would return and hold’ an- other convention when the time rolled around again. pon motion of Mr. P. H. Nolan, a risin: vote of thanks was exienied to Commis, stoner Ross for his eloquent and instructive address. The chairman called on Mr. E. L. Jordan, who said it was the intention of the locai committees to make the visiting delegates have as good a time as possible, and after the preliminaries were over to meet them quietly and talk over the conditions and discuss any grievances that might ex- ist. There were calls for Mr. Ed. H. Neumeyer, but as that gentleman was temporarily absent, Secretary Halle read the call of the convention, and the business of the body was begun by Mr. Nolan mov- ing that the chairman be empowered to appoint committees on credentials, rules, finances and press, which the association adopted. Mr. Morrisey announced the fol- lowing committees: Committees Appointed. On credentials—Aug. Lueders, Illinois; James Sheridan, Connecticut; Charles Sauer, New York; Daniel Hallond, New York,.and R. M. Cricker, Ohio. On finances—John McEntee, New Jersey; J. H. Hughes, Ohio; John Glaser, New York; Wm. Quigley, Delaware, and Charles Berger. Ilinois. On rules—P. J. Carmody, Missouri; T. E. Wallace, North Carolina; Wm. Wheian, District of Columbia; S. L. Baker, Michi- gan, and John Schumacher, Connecticut. On press—E. L. Jordan, District of Co- lumbia; C. J. Andrews, Pennsylvania; T. J. Lalley, Minnesota; A. McQuirk, Iowa, and Fred. ‘Aldred, Indiana. A recess was taken until 10:30 to give the committees time to report. Upon recon- vening, the list of delegates as approved by the committee was read and adopted, and the convention went into executive ses- sion. Brief Executive Session. After the executive session convened Mr. McEntee of New Jersey and Mr. P. H. No- lan of New York were appointed assistant secretaries. Secretary Halle’s report was then read and showed a prosperous condi- tion of the affairs of the association. It was a lengthy document and was listened to with great interest. At the conclusion of the reading committees on resolutions and on constitution and by-laws were appoint- ed, each consisting of a delegate from each state represented in the convention; the rules that governed the last convention were adopted. The meeting then adjourned until tomorrow morning at 9 o’ciock. After luncheon at the hotel the delegates and their friends entered carriages and were driven to the steamer Macalester, upon which a trip to Mount Vernon was made. ‘There was music on board, and a bountiful collation was enjoyed. Additional arrivals of delegates at the Ebbitt this morning were P. J. Carmody and wife and J. W. Howard, St. Louis; Jno. F. Neiss, Canton, Ohio; C. Meinhardt, John Nies and H. J. Hensman, St. Louis, and A. H. Vieneg, Wilmington, Del. THE Y. M. C. A. A New Gymnasium Instructor — The Vacant Secretaryship.

It is the intention to start a new class soon. Work in the educational classes is going on, the rooms in the Lenman build- ing having been supplied with desks which are nearly all in place. In all branches of the work of the association there is a good deal of activity and the successor of the late Mr. Pugh when he comes to take charge of the affairs of the association will find them well organized. It is probable that there will be a meeting of the board of managers held within the next few days for the purpose of considering the subject of filling the position of general secretary, made vacant by the death of, Mr. Pugh. It Is not expected by the members of the board that anything more definite will be done at this meeting than the appointment of a committee to take into consideration the best method- of securing the proper man for the place. It is the desire of the board to secure a first-class man and they propose to give the subject all the consid- eration which its importance demands. ———_—_ Marriage Licenses.

Found Unconscious by the Rallroad Track. Yesterday a strange man, who afterwards turned out to be Alfred Halstead, a soldier, who is endeavoring to get a pension, was seen along the line of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad, near Deanlewood and Benning, and his presence there for so long a time excited some comment. Last night he was foynd sick near the Deanewood sta- tion and died while being brought to the hospital, When the railroad men saw him about the company’s property for so long a time one of them warned him that he had better leave there, and told bim he railroad could not spend the night in the office. Along about sundown the man disappear- ed from the station, and nothing more was seen of him until about 9 o’clock, when he was found lying near the track, not far from the Deanewood station. When found an attempt was made to arouse him, but to no purpose, for he was unconscious and was unable to speak. Policeman Boland was called, and it was Supposed that the man had been struck by 8 train, or had fallen from a car. No one knew the man. He was not well dressed. While waiting for a vehicle to remove the unconscious man the officer looked at-pa- pers in his possession, and in this way learned of his identity. H. T. Lord, who lives at 1048 Bladens- burg road, furnished a carriage, in which the man was taken to the ninth precinct police station, and there it was thought. that he was dead. But the officers hasten- ed with him to Providence Hospital, where the physicians made an examination, and had his body sent to the morgue. About His Pension. Papers found on the deceased showed that he was probably here looking after his pension claim. His home, it is stated, is in Trenton, N. J., and he served in a New Jersey regiment, under General Bir- ney. This morning General Birney called on the police for particulars of the man’s death, and he will probably take charge of the body when the coroner’s investiga- tion is finished. An Investigation. The deceased was more than fifty years old, and had the appearance of being a consumptive. He had been stopping here at 623 F street northwest, and his pension case was in the hands of David L. Gitt & Co. Coroner Hammett will make an investi- gation this afternoon, but it is thought that the man’s death was due to natural causes and that no inquest will be held. ‘The deceased has a sister, a Mrs. Miller, who lives at No. 3044 Mercer street, Port Richmond, near Philadelphia. Today the police notified Mr3.-Miller of her brother's death. ——__ To Protect the Missionaries. =, A cable message was received at the Navy Department this morning saying that, in obedience to orders from Washington, the cruiser Marblehead left Naples this morn- ing for Mersina, Syria, fer the protection of American missionaries in that section of the world. The sending of a warship to Syria is due to representations of United States Minister Terrell at Constantinople that such action would have an excellent deterrent effect on the native element in- clined to deeds of violence. It will not take the Marblehead more than four or five days to make the trip. FINANCIAL. i OUR FREE LETTER. Ours is the only 4-page Market Letter issued daily from New York and Chicago.
