The American Public Health association, at Washington, Wednesday, considered the subject of infection of human beings with animal tuberculosis, and listened to several papers relating to the collection and disposal of public garbage In discussing the former subject, Dr M. P. Ravenol of Philadelphia tcok up the question of tuberculosis bearing on its transmission from man to animals and from animals to man, as welt as actual Inoculation. He le&rerted the disinclination of fcdctal and enato authorities to permit criminals condemned to death to be Inoculated with the tuberculosis germ In the Interests of science. He said he was sure that a man condemned to death would most willingly take his chances of contracting tuberculosis as against execution. He emphatically controverted the common theory that dry sputum is the underlying cause of tubercular infection, and said that there Is absolutely not one whit of evidence that it ever caused a single case of tuberculosis In mankind. He produced numerous statistics showing bovine tubercular Infection of human beings, and said that the bovine tubercular bacillus Is extremely more viruent than that of a human being. He concluded by strongly urging that every precaution should be taken by the assoclatloi as sanitarians for the protection of the food supply as derived from cattle. Bovine MRS.

The knife lay near him on the floor. Bechtel was a single man. 20 years old. He was a laborer and had been a policeman. He had been a hard drinker and when Intoxicated was easily angered and prone to fight. The funeral of the murdered girl took place In the afternoon, the services being held at her late home. As the girl lay in her coffin her appearance told its own story. Both eyes were discolored as though they had been struck with a clenched fist. There was a big bruise on the nose and several smaller ones on the cheek and ear. Since the suicide of Bechtel, the police officials have told the story of the murder of Miss Bechtel. It appears she was engaged to one man and went out one evening with another, which so enraged her brother that he brutally beat her to death.

Released From Convict Recently Prison Rushes Into Street and Shoots at the President, But His Aim Was Bad. Great excitement was caused at Guanajuato, Mexico, Tuesday, by what looked like an attempt on the life of President Diaz, who was a guest of the state government during the festivities there. The president, his staff and guest3 were passing by the garden In a street car when a man of the lower class by the name of Elias Toscano approached the car shouting, and fired five shots from a revolver at the car, fortunately doing no harm. Paklo Escanadon, of the presidents staff, rushed from the car and caught the man, wrenching the revolver from his grasp. The polie'e took Toscano to prison. Toscano has a had criminal record and was but recently released from prison at Grandltas, where he had served a term for homicide. The matter will be investigated. One theory Is that Toscano was drunk, and another that he deliberately planned The to shoot the chief magistrate. and cool remained perfectly president was acclaimed by the crowd of citizens, showing their joy at his escape. Toscanos evil record makes the theory of a deliberate attempt at assassination more probable. The president has received the felicitation of the cltlzenB and the diplomatic corps.

Hard by where some men were at work digging a cellar in a city street there was a dog, a bull terrier, lying comfortably, half asleep, in the shade under a tree. The dog belonged to one of the men employed on the job, and it was taking life easy while its master worked. But when the whistles blew for 12 oclock that .bull terrier jumped to its feet, and made Its way promptly straight to its master and halted before him and looked up at him with an expression and manner that said as plainly as it could have been expressed In spoken words: Dont you hear the whistle? Its time to eat dinner. The dog knows the significance of the whistles perfectly, and it does this every noon. Maybe the bull terrier Is thinking In this twice for itself to once for its master, but its a bright dog all the same. v ''Ambition.
