Infection with rabies is most dan
gerous where the nerves are nearest
the- surface. Communication to the
spinal cord and brain is then quicker

at the ends of the fingers is alse-par-
ticularly unfortunate, owing to the
centering of nerves there directly
beneath the skin.

The characteristic manifestations
of rabies are found in the large nerve
cells, principally of the- brain. They
are crimson colored bodies in those
cells, which are never found except
where rabies is well developed.
This discovery was made known to
the medical world in '1!M)3 by Negri,
of the University of Pavla, Italy and
name has been given to the little
crimoon spots which the autopsy dis
covers ip the nerve cells of victims of
rabies, now known to medical science
oa "Negri bodies."
Long before this, in 1885, Pas
teur recognised rabies as a germ dis
ease and advocated the preventive
serum treatment with which the name
la identified. One year later the ori
ginal Pasteur Institute was opened in
Paris. From t)ua^-time until 1905,
Inclusive, 29,261 persons had been
treated at this institute.
The success of the treatment was
remarkable, after the preparation of
the eerum and its administration had
been reduced to a system. Mortality
from the disease was reduced from
t4 per cent during the first year to
It per cent in 1902.

The priest had finished his mass

monitors of his parish as they left

worshipers present and they were
headed''toward the door In small
groups. Father Lubley was shading

came up from behind. In his hand
there was a sharp knife and Just as
the priest dropped the hand of the
woman he felt a sharp cut on the

The value of the Pasteur treat

that the antitoxin serum for rabies
is available to every physician. It Is
prepared in the laboratories of the
health departments of most of the
large cities.
The serum Js obtained froin rab

oculated with the fixed virus of the
disease. Their death occurs in from
six to seven days. Their spinal
cords, which contain the death-deal
ing germs, are removed and dried in

harmless.
It is then crushed into powder and
emulsified in a normal salt solution,
and is ready for use as hypodermic
injections in. the first stage of the

are made with serum from cords that
have been dried fourte*»n, thirteen,

after the adoption by the House
of a resolution Introduced by Re
presentatives Burleson and LivingstQ n
on February 4, 1907. That resolu
tion was aimed to ascertain why
the contracts sold" on the New York
and New Orleans exchanges brought
about such violent fluctuations in
the pslce of cotton, and also to learn
whether the members^of the exchang
es, by combining among themselves,
brought aboq^., depression in prices
because, under the terms of the con
tracts, they could deliver any one of
thirty grades of coton. The charges,
Whirrsem to be upheld, In part at
least, by Mr. Smith, include the fol
lowing: ' -
“That New York City has ceased to
be. a commercial spot cotton market,
and that the New York Cotton Ex
change, operating under Us present
debased and fraudulent contracts,
has developed into a purely specula
tive or gambling exchange, and that
the grades of cotton shipped to New
York and tenderable on the contracts
under the rules of the New York Cot
ton Exchange cannot be used for
commercial spinning purposes, and
that such grades of co'tton are used
solely to depress the price of splnn-
ble grades in the South, to further
the speculative features of the New
York Cotton Exchange, to the heavy
detriment of the entire legitimate cot
ton frade of the United States,”
The care with which Mr.— Smith
fbollibes his findings seems to have
been forcasted by Representative
Burleson, who, in a leter to Mr. Jor
dan on April 30, this year, wrote :
' "ftlo not believe that the President
has any idea of making recommenda
tions along the line on which I think
legislation should be had. The report
from the Bureau of Corporations on
the resolution wrlten and Introduc
ed by mw tom not yet been sent to tha
House. I understand it Is In the
hands of the President, and that' he
Is holding It for som purpose. On
Saturday I had adopted a resolution
Introduced by me, directing that said
report be sent to the Congress at
ome.
"Recently the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor gave out an inter
view, in which he stated that the
President was not oposed to the
legitimate cotton exchanges, but was
-opposed to bucket shops, etc. I, too,
am ooiHised to blicket shops, bu f I he
injury to the cotton producer co ulr.c
from bucket shop operations Is nil
compared with the great hurt which
is done him fcy operation on the so-
called legitimate cotton exchanges."
Mr. Smith in his report ind cates
that ho win have much more to ray
later on. \\ hat he gave oat for pub
lication today was two parts—-dealing
with cotton exchange methods of clas-
flcat'.on of cotton and with the range
of conti art grades. Subsequent parts,
he says, will take up the effects of
exchange nit* and other conditions
upon the pice. In the report made
public he nays:
“So far as spinners are concerned,
the | radical certainty of receiving
seveial diffeient kinds of cotton on
one contract makes it impossible for
for them to buy^their cotoq on the
exchanges*.' ,
“The contract must be broad
enougn to iniuce general ‘ra^.ihg
thereon, and thus furnish the broad
market necessary to fulfil the true
functions of an exchange. There is

Sudden Death of a Companion. Mis

ment Without’Trial or Hearing.
Three months In a mildewed
Chinese dungeon, on false imprison
ment, has cured L. C. Stewart, of
New York city, of any desire to again
return to the Oriental country. He
is now in Denver, Col., recuperating.
Here is his advice to young men who
think they are anxious to seek ad-
venturfpiif'lhe Far East:
“T*he Orient is no place for a young
man and I, woulji advise no one to
go “there. Our-western ideas of mora
lity and decency>re soon lost in that
country. Most of the white people,
including the women and even a few
of the missionaries, take to drinking
heavily in the Orient agd sefem un
able to stop. A genera] laxity of
morals—^results. In the
quarters anything goes and you do
anything you' csar^Ao do without lo&
Ing caste so long as you do not make
too much noise. It’s a good place to
stay away from.”
The Terrible Black Cholera.
Mr. Stewart was a British collector
of revenue with headquarters at
Hong Kong. On one of his trips to
the Interior he picked up an English
man by the name of Charles Frank,
was broke, and wanted to get out of
the country. On the return trip they
were riding together on the backs of
coolies, states Mr. Stewart, when all
of a sudden Frank screamed, and
throwing his arms in the air fell on
Stewart, the black vomit pouring
from his mouth. Within 15 minu
tes he wtjs dead-.
“The coolies fled panic stricken
at the sight,” relates Mr. Stewart,
“but I covered two of them with my
revolver and forced them to return
We made a rough pine box and burl
ed Frank, marking the spot with ston
es. Then, with my two coolies, I
started for Rangoon, expecting that
I myself would lie stricken any mo
ment. The coolies knew the black
Vjmlt had fallen upon me and were
afraid to come near me. To my sur
prise I was not stricken and reach
ed Rangoon after a terrible trip.

Ml such cotton was for a bfito V*T
tually forced Into the New York stock
In pursuance of a ruling of the Board
of Appeals bf the New York Cotton
Exchange, one of the highest com
mittees of the exchange, and against
the judgement of members of the
Classification Co.mmltte. •
“This certification of cotton actual
ly below tenderable grade is especial
ly Important because it was not due
to the carelessnss of the Classifb-a-
ijob, Committee, or to the dishonesty
of any Individual .employe, Uut was
the exprer: Ion of. a deliberate poli
cy of one of the highest committees
of the exchange, which should have
taken every precaution to protect the
Intergrlty of the contract.
"Members of the New York Cot
ton Exchange have also attempted
to excuse this extraordinary .ruling
of the board of appeals on the ground
that only a few hundred bales ofrejet-
H'ole cotton were thus deliberately al
lowed to go into thecertiflcated stock.
They have further attempted to de
fend he classification of the exchange
generally on the ground that the
a«H>unt of certificated cotton, which
was loaDy-below tenderable grade,
or even the amoutot which, although
tenderable, Is of exceptionally low
grade, is but a small percentage of
unspinnabie cotton into the exchangapihe total certificated stock. They
sto«ks irfatos sovt al evils. The ef
fect of such cotton is to depress the
price of future contracts, and this
tends to affect unfavorably the value
of the entire crop," the great bulk of
which is of much beter quality.
"The investigation has shown that
m.' ny extreme charges regarding the
stock of cotton at New York can not
be fully sustained. _
"A prevailing impression that
many thousands of bitteb-of coton Jn
the New tork market have tm-iT car
ried for many years, until the-aloek
is litle more than an accumulation of
ri.bt ish. Is disproved by the fact
that the entire stock at New York has
on several occasions in recent years
been reduced to a vry small quantity.
Thus, in October, 1,900, the total
cei'tihcate stock was very only a trifle
over 5,0 hales, and as recently as
September, 1904, itjjvas only 15,-
•;00 bales. At the latter date a con-,
sideral-le pa it of the stock was ap
parently of fairly high grade. Con
sequently it is, certain that the
’unouct cf very low grade cotton car
ried ove in New York for any con-
sideiaole iieilod of years can not K*
extremety large. On the other hand
there is some cotton which has thus
been cai led over from year to year.
"The president of the New York
Cotton Exchange In November, 1900.
stated to the revision con^mittee that
some cotton hod been in the' New
York stock tor tour years, and that
the reason it had not been purchas
ed for consumption was that it was
of such poor quality as to be un
desirable at the grade difference then
existing.
"While extreme charges against
the grading of cotton at New York

ditions, nevertheless'It Js certain that
serious overelaaalficatlon . has fre

contract would therefore be indiffer

some of this action.
"Tt.ic, argument is so absurd as
ha’dly to call for discussion. It
would be about as logical for a man
to say that he would be willing to
staridup before a squad of soldiers to
4)0 shot at simply because only a por
tion of the guns were loaded. Such
cotton would unquestionably exert
:m ihiTuence upon, the buyer out of
.all proportion to its actual amount

chooses to tender him. When the

Cotton Exchange came * Into

ruling of the board of appeals was
promptly stopped.

broke out about 2 a. m.. destroyed
Mr. Yate’s automobile. About an
hour later fire was discovered in the
Yates dwelling. The fire company
arrived this time early enough to
extinguish the flames. There was
every indication that a deliberate
plan had been laid to destroy the
house.
A device, consisting of a clock,
which had been so fixed so as to
Ignite a fuse at a certain hour had
been so arranged that when ignited
the blaze would be communicated to
a pile of excelsior, which, in turn,
was connected with two trains of
the same inflammable material, one
of these trains leading to a pile of
stove wood and excelsior placed
aliout the refrigerator- in the dining
room, the other train leading to a
smaller pile in the kitchen. All of
this had been saturated with kero
sene. The work was well done., and
the fire caught, but fortunately was
seen in time.
Yates, with his wife and two chil-
iren, left about 9.30 Wednesday, night
for Carlisle by private conveyance,
having missed the train due at that
hour. He was arrested there about
noon Thursday and brought back
and lodged in Jail on a charge, of
