Baltimore Sun Through the reception of alx pa? tient* at the Pasteur Institute yeste; dsy a high record of attendance was established. IS being the total, frith more victims of dog bites confidently expected. And this cond'ilon, accord? ing to Dt. Nathaniel Q. Kelrle Is due to the large number of dogs now run? ning at large on the streets. "No dog should be allowed to go at large." said Dr. Kelrle yesterday, with great emphasis. "There Is now a condition of things In which we may have mad doge around and there should be do dogs at large. Even a ir.uasted dog may injure a child with Iti musale. snd the miua.e Is no pro? tection against the 'slobber' of a mad or infuriated animal. I do not caro to say whose buslnese It Is to pick up stray dogs, but I do say that the dog Is not an animal to be permitted to run at large." Oolng then further Into the subject, Dr. Kelrle declared that. In case of a person being bltttsn, tho dog should be kept alive. If possible with safety, for observation at the Institute, and In case It be killed the head and neck should be forwarded to the Institute for examination. Furthermore, said Dr. Kelrle, there are now several doee running loots In the city under sus? picion of bemg mad, while one, he is absolutely convinced. Is mad. "Just how many logs thla mad ?1 >g may have blttsn. there Is no way of telling." said Dr. Kelrle. "and this Is one of my argumsnts against permu? ting any dog to run at large." Wfth ssven cases a.ready on their hands. Dr. Kelrle and his assistant were yesterday visit ed by half a dosen more patients, of nhom two were physicians who had recently been M* . ten, ime a man fron the country, who had '<>een bitten by h.'s horse; a child from Baltimore county; another yotmitster. who came in late, and otic other person. With tho exception of one <>ccaslon. several years ago, when 1? parsons came from New Orlears for tieetment. this is the largest num? ber D r. Kelrle has ever had under his eare at one time, six having hereto? fore been considered a maximum at? tendance.

"The main reason whv children nro bitten." and thla authority, "is be? cause they have fool mothers, who permit them to play with strange dogs and tease them beyond crani ance."

(From the Atlanta Georgian.) That the strike of railroad firemen, if continued or successfully ended on (he Georgia Railroad, will extend to other and greater systems in the South is the freely expressed opinion of firemen and other railway union men, though no official statement of this nature has been given out by of? ficials of the strikers. It is the opinion of those "on the Inside" that the firemen chose the Georgia Railroad as a beginning of aggressive operations, believing that to win on this system would estab? lish a precedent which would enable them more easily to force the negro firemen off other systems. The Geor? gia Railroad was looked upon as comparatively easy to defeat, as it nands. In a measure, Independent of ether systems, does not handle such a quantity of Interstate traffic as to bring federal authority to bear, and is believed to be In a position where n strike could easily tie up Its trains. That the operations of trains can be absolutely stopped, for a time at least, has been shown within the past two days. The Georgia Is by no means the enly road which employs negro fire? men. The Southern railway, the big? gest system leading out of Atlanta, uses them In number, and It was openly stated by firemen gathered around the Union Station Sunday that the Southern would be the next to feel the effects of the white fire? men's determination to oust the ne? gro. That the proposed conference be? tween representatives of the road and the strikers will bring little or no concessions from the firemen Is now forecast. "We have only one demand?put the negro firemen off," say the strik? ers. "We can not arbitrate a thing like that. There is no half-wav ground.". STEEL TRUST FOR "OPEN SHOP' Wage Reduction Also Announced By Sheet and Tin plate Company. Plttsburg, June 2.?The American Sheet and Tlnplate company has post? ed notices at the company's mills in the Wheeling and Sharon districts to the effect that after June 20 all the plants will be operated as "open" shops. The new wage scale for the hot mill department, effective July 1, is In the nature of a cut from the present scale. For instance, the rate for a heater on 31 gauge, which is taken as the standard, Is 20 cents a ton less than the present pay. Other changes range from 4 to 12 1-2 per cent. It Is stated that the United States Steel Corporation, is opening a ma? jority of the mills as open shops and Is now deslrlous of operating all of them on the same plan. It was hint? ed that if the men do not accept ihe new proposition the company will close all the mills affected and de? pend upon the mills now in operation as open shops. It is expected a formal request will be made of the American Sheet and Tinplate company for a conference. Open Shop May Cause Trouble. Wheeling W. Va., June 2.?The "open shop" order issued yesterday by the American Sheet and Tinplate Company, which will take effect June 30 at all of Its mills in this vi? cinity and Martin's Ferry, Ohio, where nearly 10,000 men are employ ed. has caused an ugly situation and today meetings were called by the various lo^al unions for Sunday, June 6.

PRESIDENT TAFT AND EXTRAVA? GANCE. Nations Finance should lie Placed on a Boeincae Baile. LouitvlUe Courier-Journal. That dispatch from Washington to the effect that President Taft intends to strive for the credit of bringing' the national expenditures down to a minimum has about it the odor of I plausibility, for it is well known that he has urged his cabinet ministers to shave their estimates and to estab? lish various reforms in the interest of economy. It is a credit worth having. If Mr. Taft succeeds in doing nothing else of Importance during his entire term except putting our national af felrs on a business basis and holding down expenses he will have made his administration one of real ac? hievement. The fast and loose extra? vagance of recent years?extrava? gance which was not restricted to either the executive or the legisla? tive branches of the government? has been more than a scandal. It has been a decided hardship upon the people. And simply by placing the affairs of the government on a plain, every? day sort of business basis the refor? mation of the nation's finances can be acomplished. Of course in his program of economy and system Mr. Taft cannot assert authority over the matters strictly within the keeping of con? gress itself. His orders cover only the departments more directly under his control. Despite his activities in his own field, therefore, we may yet see congress wasting money on use? less appropriations. A beginning 'is a beginning, however, and as that the president's present endeavors are en? titled to commendation. Besides, the example may be "contagious. Wanted No High Ball.

On July 3, 1583. in a night encoun? ter in Mantua there died a boy of twenty-two who in the last eight years of his Ufa was the wonder and admiration of the chivalry and learn? ing of Europe. This was James Crichton of Cluny, best known by the title given him by the French?the Admirable Crichton. He was made a master of arts by the University of St. Andrews in his twelfth year. He knew all that insti? tution of learning could teach him when he was fourteen. At the age of fifteen he met in public debate on all subjects many of the best minds In France and vanquished them all. He knew all the learning of his day. He was a master of twelve languages. He had a memory so wonderful that, hearing a discourse of any length, he was able afterwards to repeat it word for word and duplicate every gesture of the speaker. He was a poet, a musician of excellence, an athlete, a horseman, a soldier of trusted com? mand before he was nineteen, a won? derful actor, a swordsman of extra? ordinary skill. Crichton's family was of consider? able importance and wealth and claimed royal descent. His father was lord advocate first to Queen Mary and afterward to King James VI. His mother was the daughter of Sir James Stewart. Members of both families were eminent in Scottish history. The boy James Crichton was sent to grammar school at Perth. He emerged at the age of 10 and imme? diately entered the famous university of St. Andrews. The students there were divided into what were called circles, according to the talent they exhibited. Crichton advanced from one circle to another until, when he was barely past eleven, the univer? sity turned him out with the degree of master of arts. It was the custom of young men of the time to finish their education by making the grand tour of Europe. Crichton, supplied with letters from his family and rel? atives to the nobles of the French court, went to Paris first. His first action on arrival was to post a challenge in all parts of the city offering to meet all comers at the College of Navarre in debate in any one of twelve languages, "in any science, liberal art, discipline or fac? ulty, whether practical or theoretic." Such contests were common to the age. but the challenge, coming from a boy of fifteen, aroused deep inter? est. An immense crowd was present on the day appointed. A dozen emi? nent philosophers and divines pre? sented themselves. Crichton, without the semblance of efforts, defeated all who attempted to cope with him. He was congratulated by the faculty of the college, and Henry III, then the gayest monarch in Europe, carried him off to his court. The next day Crichton appeared in the tourney and i with consummate ease remained vic? tor in that martial struggle. The king gave him an important command in the army. He remained In France two years, dazzling the people with his accomplishments In every direc? tion. Crichton went next to Rome and Venice. In the latter city his friends were Sperone SperonI, one of the most learned names in Italian litera? ture; John Donati and Lorenzo Mas 8a, secretary to the republic of Ven? ice. Several of the Latin poems Crichton composed in this circle have survived. He was introduced to the doge and the senate and in their presence delivered an oration so graceful and eloquent that, according to Imperalis, "he was esteemed a prodigy of nature." The Venetians were enraptured over his elegant manners, nis learning and accom? plishments. Crichton went to Padua to debate on the philosophy of Aris? totle, then a subject absorbing the educated minds of all Europe. The argument lasted three days, and the handsome young Scotchman was an easy victor over all opponents. At Mantua a famous Italian duelist lived who had Vanquished many an? tagonists. Crichton sent him a chal? lenge and next day ran the Italian through the body. The Puke ot" Man? tua engaged him as tutor for his son, Vincenso dl Qonaasa. The court of Mantua was celebrated for its patron? age of the Italian drama. The fta est troupe of actors in Europe, denomi? nated I Qeloel, was attached to it. Crichton coVnposed a species of com? edy for the company, satirising the weaknesses ot" the various oc< upa tions in life, then undertook to sus? tain himself the most prominent and difficult characters In the pleoe. ESven the actors were carried away with enthusiasm, so marvelous was Crich? ton's acting, The young Duke Vincenso, his pu? pil, was jealous of Crichton, who found favor in the eyes of a beauti? ful young noblewoman whom Vin? censo had woed In vain. One night Crichton. walking home through the streets, playing as he went along on his guitar, was suddenly attacked by six masked men. He Hung away the guitar, drew his sword and quickly killed two of his antagonists, put two more to Might and disarmed the leader. The' latt?r*| mask fell off. It was the young Duke Vincenzo. Criehton dip? ped on his knee and presented bis own sword to his pupil. The duke took it and thrust it through Crich ton's body. He fell on his back dead. READY TO OCCUPY Cl'BA. Troops Held in Portion to Sail?Gov? ernment Fears Trouble. Washington, June 2.?Whether or not anything in the way of a disturb? ance s going on in Cuba, the admin? istration is in expectancy and is hold? ing the troops in all the Southern army posts ready to be dispatched to that republic. Gen. Arthur Fridge, representing the State of Mississippi, was here to? day, asking the war department to permit troops of the Seventeenth In? fantry at Fort McPherson, Atlanta, to go to Mississippi to take part in the summer encampments. The war department refused, and Gen. Fridge says the reason given him was that all the troops in the department oi the gulf were to be held at their posts during the next 90 days, ready to go to Cuba at a moment's notice. The only thing that has been ru? mored here as to the status in Cuba is that her finances are in bad shapr Should the government there become bankrupt it is believed our govern? ment would intervene. Another reason assigned here for the refusal of the troops to Mississip? pi, though that is purely specula? tive, is that the fears of the admin? istration as to the strike situation along the Georgia Railroad have not beer, completely allayed, and the? troops might be needed nearer home than Cuba.?The State. DOG'S BITE PROVES FATAL. Columbia, June 1.?McGrady, ars aged Confederate Veteran, died today at the Columbia Hospital as a result of a. bite from a dog with the rahiea. Mr. McGrady was bitten on April 28, and after taking the so-called Koon treatment, supposed himself well. Las: night he attempted to kill him? self by cutting his throat, and as a re? sult of the wounds irfflicted on hist neck he was brought to the hospital today, where he lingered for a few hours. He died as a result of an at? tack of rabies. Mr. McGrady is sur? vived by a wife and daughter and a son. He was a good Confederate sol? dier and a member of Camp Bookterv U. C. V.
