The chances are in favor of tl c latter ?togs being Infected by virus carried on the shoes and clothing of tl o visi? tors. This is also a good way of cur r\mg cholera to their hogs at Aome. No farmer with hogs suspected of having cholera has a right, according to I?r Powers, to allow a neighbor to enter his hog lot. l>ogs should be kept in at night, as they are ulso good earners of the disease.

The hone belonged to c. W, Smith and Company and was seemingly as gentle an animal as one could liml. Mi. Smith stated that he had always found the home extremely gentle and had no idea that it would runaway for a fly cause. He deeply deplored the ?eddent, especially the fact that the ehildren*! nay of fun was spoiled, and Was deeply thankful that none were seriously hurt. The horse probably became fright? ened at the- waving of the parasols in the WSjgon and started to run. There v.ere about tlfleen children in the Wagon and all of them were thrown out when it struck a tree and was overturned on Liberty Street. Miss ?velyn Stern berge r, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.

Miss Margaret Henumont was another child badly frightened I and sllghtely bruised by the fall. A number of the other children were also lllghtly bruised and suffered i minor contusions and sorstoheSi but none when badly hurt.

Some || years ago then lived in Berlin an old misanthrope named Wilhelm v??n Osten. He was a man with a small private incomo, a little eccentric in his ways and Obsessed by one IdOS?Ihe intelligence of ani? mals. He began by undertaking the education of S bont that gave him1 no very dctlnitc results. Hut, in 1U?0,: he became the owner of a Russian1 stallion, which, under the name of Hans, to which was soon added the Homeric and well-earned prolix of Kluge, or Wise, was destined to upset all our notions of animal psychology and to raise questions that rank among the most unexpected and the most absorbing problems which man has yet encountered. a well-to-do Elberfeld manufacture er, Herr Krall, had taken a great in? terest in Von Osten's labon and, dur? ing the latter years of the old man's life, had eagerly followed and even on occasion directed the education of the Wonderful stallion. Von Osten left Kluge Hans to him by will; on his ?wn side. Krall bad bought two Arab stallions, Stuhamed and Zarif, whose prowess soon surpassed that of the pi? oneer. He talks to them long and tenderly, is a father might talk to his children; , md we hajVS the strange feeling that they listen to all that he savs and Understand it. If they appear not to gragp an explanation Off a demonstra? tion, he will begin it all over again, analyse it, paraphrase it iu times In succession, with the patience of a mother. And so their progress has been Inoompanbly swifter and more astounding that that of old Huns. Within a fortnight of the llrst lesson Muhamed did simple little addition and substitution sums quits correctly.1 He had learned to distinguished the tens from the units, striking the lat? ter with his rjght foot and former with his left. He knew the meaning Of the symbols, plus and minus. Four days lat< r, he was beginning mul? tiplication and division.

Secretary of War Concludes His Cor? respondence With South Carolina Executive. Washington, April 21.?Secretary Garrison today concluded his corre? spondence with Gov. Bleaee of South Carolina over the revocation of orders establishing a summer manoeuvre camp for State militia and regular troops at the Isle of Palms. Failing to receive a response to his previous demands upon the governor, Secretary Garrison yesterday announced tha* the manoeuvre camp to be attended I by the militia ot North and Soutli Carolina, Georgia and Florida would be held outside of South Carolina. Later he received a iong letter from Gov. J Mease to which he replied to? day. After declaring he could not under? stand why Gov. I .lease complained and explaining that the matter had been taken up with the adjutants gen? eral of the various States, as is cus? tomary, the secretary in his letter said: "It seems to me to be unfort'.nato that you felt impelled to object to this matter being treated in the customary way but since you did, I had no other alternative than to adopt the course I did." GEORGIA WILL GET CAMP. Atlanta to Be Scene of Militia Ma? noeuvres. Washington, April 11.?It war learned here today th. t Secretary j Garrison has promised that if any inanoeuvre camp of the Ninth division is held this summer, it will be held at Atlanta. This statement, it is un? derstood, was made to Congressman Howard of Georgia when he called to see Secretary Garrison about tho matter this morning, and would seem to indicate that South Carolina hav? ing lost the encampment, Atlanta would get it. At a late hour tonight it was as? certained that B. F. McLeod, vice president of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce had held a conforence with Secretary Garrison this evening with reference to the holding of the military encampment in South Caro? lina. Secretary Garrison informed Mr. McLeod that it would not be held in South Carolina because of the attitude of the governors, This definitely settles the matter. There is much regret shown hero today among the members of thej South Carolina delegation In con? gress that no point in South Caro? lina will be selected for the encamp? ment, and there is a feeling that about everything that could be ac? complished has already been done in the matter. Charleston is still bringing pressure; to bear in the hope of having the war department reconsider its decision to eliminate ihe Isle of Palms, but it is the belief here now that the matter Is ended. It is probable that the negotiations may be continued for a few days longer by some who believe Secretary Garrison might change his decision, but at the present time it looks as if all chance for South Carolina has j gone.
