What the Movement Promises.
The ranks of the Ohio fanners were effect
ively broken yesterday, and the excursionists, with

mirth was only excited to a higbor pitch.
In an instant the furious beast was among
tho children. With biasing eyes and foaming
mouth ho snapped right and left. Ho fastened
his fongs in little Eddie Ryan, William Lane,
Patrick Reynolds, Austin Fltxgcrald, Hattie
Frick and George Childs. Then ho sped down
tho street, snarling and snapping at every
thing in his way. Several spectators pursued
tho nnimal with sticks and clubs,

SENDIXQ THE CHILDREN TO TASTEDB.
Collections have been taken up in many of
tho Newark churches for tho purpose of de
fraying tho expenses of sending tho children
toPsrisfor treatment by Tastcur. Private
contributions havo been Bent to Dr. O'Gorman
in amounts ranging from $100 down to 10
cents, and many other contributions havo
been received at newspaper offices. Tho
amount rained was over $1,000, and every ar
rangement was made for a comfortablo trip
for tho children, who sailed
Thursday, In charge of Dr. Billings,
on tho steamship Canada. A special cabin
was allotted to tho children. Mrs. Ryan, tho
mother of ono of the bitten children,
was sent with them to take care oi
them on tho voyage, Tho children who were
lent ore William Lano, tho telegraph
messenger; little Eddie Ryan, Patrick Rey

Hattie Frick refuses to send bin child, and it
has been ascertained that George Childs was
merely bruised by tho dog and not woundod
by its fangs.
rASTEUR RESPOSDS TO AN AFPE.U.
In reply to a cablegram asking him if ho
would treat tho children, U. Louis Pasteur,
the celebrated scientist, at once replied aa
follows:

Louis Fastiur.
Dr. Pasteur???s method of curing hydrophobia
can ho belt summarized in his own words:
???I began- my experiments in 1882 in this
way,??? ho said. "I took a portion of tho spinal
cord of a dog which had died of hydrophobia,
and with that I inoculated a rabbit in tho first
membrane of tho brain. It went mad In fifteen
days. Then with a portion of tho spinal cord
of this rabbit I Inoculated another rabbit In'
tho samo way, and it went mad in thirteen
days, and so on. I continued inoculations
from rabbit to rabbit, finding tho strength of
tho virus increased each timo until tho nine
tieth, time produced hydrophobia in only seven
days. I then took very small portions of tho
spinel coTd of this ninetieth rabbit, and which
contained tho greatest virulence yet obtained,
mid I suspended thcso.bil?? atjrirus4n.cmpty
bottles in which tho air was kept very dry by
means of potash op tho bottom of tho bottle.
After several days???- exposure to adry, cold tem
perature tho vims loses nil its strength. Tho
timo required for this loss depends on tho
sizo of tho piece and the dryness
and coldness of the air. Then of this vims
which has lost its strength I tako a small por
tion dissolved in sterilo bullion, and with a
pravaz syringo I inoculate tho animal. Each
day I inoculate it again with virus, juat a little
stronger each time, until at last the system has
become so accustomed to the poison that I can
use tho virus which had not been dried at all,
and which would produco hydrophobia in
???oven days if tho system had not been to
treated to it by degrees. I havo. treated ono
hundred dogs in this wsy, aml.not one bis he-
come mad.???
FBEPABATIOXB FOB TUX TBIP.
proposition was received from
the Csrncgle laboratory of tho Bcllevao Hos
pital medical college. It was mode by Andrew
Carnegie, the founder of the laboratory, which
is devoted to a lino of experiments similar to
thoso of hi. Pasteur. Mr. .Camegio ottered to
send one of tho professional investigators of
tho institution in chargo of tho patients, and
will pay bit expenses, in tho interest of
science. Tho proposition was] submitted to
Dr. O'Gonntn, and with it was an offer from.
A. L. Dennis, a wealthy\ citizen of New
ark, who agreed to make good any dofldoncy
that might exist provided the propotltlon.was
accepted.
Into Wednesday evening Dr. O'Gorman re
reived the following toiogram from L. D. Bob
bin, agent of tho French line, to which tho
Canada belongs:
Here consulted ship???s doctor. Will havo special
accommodations and special food for children on
Canada. *
Dr. O???Gorman said: ???Tho company has re
duced tho prlco of passage to a nominal figure.
We havo enough money now to provide tho
children with every necessity. I think wo
have in the neighborhood of $1,000.???
With the children was sent a portion of
tho spinal cord of the dog that was kiliod, in
order that U. Pasteur may use It to Inoculate
a rabbit.
SOMETHING ABOUT TUB CHILDREN.
One of the children sent to Faria is
Palsy Reynolds. He is a big man now. All
of tho hoys in tho neighborhood, many of
whom formerly boasted the proud ability to
wallop him, ire now at bis feet. Six of them
were gathered around the , yontbftil hero
gtaing in awo upon him, and each hur
riedly awaiting his turn to inspect Patsy???s
badges of honor???the little black mark on tho
back of tho left hand, and the other little mark
on the left Index finger nude by the dog???s
teeth and blackened by cauterization. Patsy
won???t ho ten yean old until next June, but he
looks older now, and since his adventure he
has openly claimed to be going bn eleven.
When courteously reminded by an admirer
that he was a year younger only a little white
ago, he said he guessed a man ought to know
his own age. -Hetalkioftherecentoecurnaee
aa bin "fight with a mad dog.???
But Patsy did not monopolize tho interest
of Newark; nattie Frick got a lot of It. She
it a email person, seven yeare old, very de
mure, and frith a wondrous dark bang that re
joins in a precision almost mathematical. Un
derneath the hang shines a small foes with
very big eyes and a very round month that
ought to hsTC caused the small boys on the
block???to develop a precocious interest , in the
set of their jackets and the color of their era-
vats. Hattie fa not going to Paris. Her
tether keeps a barber shop in Patsy
Reynold's street, llo is a German,
quite an bid man, su'd; it was plain that
tho barber shop would havo vory fow
charms for him without Uattto around to holp
fill it. He said it would make Hattio home
sick to go as far as New York without her
father, and Hattie quite broke down and wept
nt tho thought. Her father said ahe didn't
need to go to Fails, anyhow; tho teeth of tho
dog heforc reaching her annhadpassed through
a thick cloak, a thick dress, a thick wristlet,
and various other complicated thicknesses, the
.intricacies of which a German mother is best
able to explain. Theso thicknesses had
probably rubbed all -the poison from the
dog???s teeth, and, anyhow, the-teeth had
only bruised Hattie's arm, without penetrating
tboficsk.
William Lane is the oldest of tbft bitten
children. He lives at lO^Johusou street, and
works for the Municipal District messengor
company. He was in tho office of the com
pany yesterday in hte uniform; not working,
hut receiving end entertaining tho friends of
tho company ns they dropped in. He la four
teen years old, lUtlcJand smart, and apparent
lyWith a disposition to. bo ehcerful under tho
cireumitauccs. Ho was bitten on tho right
band and elbow quite severely, and proved
with pride that his bites were tho worst of all,
slnco the arm was entirely useless. He admitted
regret folly that the hito on the elbow, al
though every bad one, hod not bled much, but
said hia hands hail bled very much indeed,
He gave interesting details as to the amount of
gore ho spread around the offico after tho ad
venture. Lane's natural ftind of humor
sparkled forth in his story; for ho spoko scorn
fully of tho dog that would bite a tough, seaa-
oued messenger llko himself, when there were
so many green boys around; and nt tho same
time commended tho judgment shown by the
animal In choosing the right arm to oporato
on. For ho is left handed, and able to write
and attend to business tho samo aa before.
About his trip to Paris young Laue was cheer-
ill] and business-like. Ho thought it was ft
good thing to tako a look at Europe, and ho
had no objection to Paatonr. Anyhow it was
bettor than working, ho said.
Among tho hoys who were bitten Is Eddy
Ryan, who is eight yoars old, and remarkably
pretty. Ho seems to ho living in a stato of
lingo entertainment. His namo had boon read
to him from innnmenblo newspapers, and ho
was proud???proud of having been bitten and
proud of going to Europe. When called npou
at four o'clock yesterday at bis resldonco in
Union strut, Eddy was found revoling in tho
glory of haring subduod his entire family. Ho
had announced, as a matter of coune, that ho
would not refumo his studies until alter
hia return from Europe, and his pa
rents had given in. Ho had announced hia
belief that to comb a hoy???s hair too much was
as apt to bring on hydrophobia ns anything elso,
and his brown hair waved above his bead in
triumphant disorder. As another mark of his
supremacy ho had allowed only thcjtopjbutton
of his shoes to be buttoned, aud was making
rapid preparations to uphold hlitrousorswltha
strap buckled around bis waist, Instead of by
effeminate suspenders,
Austin Fitzgerald la the last of tho interest
ing children, and has probably sufl'ered more
than any. ???He was severely bitten ?abont the
arms and thigh, and naturally nervous, he has
been frightened by the indiscreet conversation
of theso around him. Ho dreams of being
pursued by mad dogs, bis mother said, and on
Friday night he had a peculiar spell that sho
could not understand. Yesterday he lay
stretched upon two chain, looking polo and
thin. Bnt ho ia only ten ycara old, and at that
ago tho prospect of crossing thej ocean will

Austin did cheer up, as ho was told to, and
before long ho wont off to sleep on hia two

TREATMENT ON THE VOYAGE.
Paris, December 11.???M. Pasteur bos been
Interviewed iu reference to the Newark chil
dren:
Correspondent???Is there any chance of tho
children going road during tho voyage?
M. Pasteur???Assuming the dog was really
mad, it ia vciy unlikely that this vims will
work so quickly, bnt still not utterly impoad-
hio. Much depends anon tho constitution and
temperament of the children, the Intensity of
the dog virtu and a hundred other facts of
which I have no data to form an opinion.
Correspondent???Sould tho Nowark children
daring their voyage be subjected to any spc'-Jal
treatment?
M. Pasteur???No; none whatever. They

Interesting Letter???Tho NezroBouth. .
I see that some of tho Chicago preocliors
havo held a meeting and denounced Quitman,
Thoy said that unless Quitman rebuilt
school house Quitman should be held up to tho
execration of ail mankind. It seems that
somebody set fire to tho negro school
that northern money built in Quitman, and
these preachers hold, Quitman responsible.
When I picked up a New York paper aud uw
the headlines, ???Tho preachers of Chicago de
nounce Quitman,??? 1 thought it was some matter
away over In Wyoming about tho killing spare

knew those good peoplo at Quitman, aud
burnt mo all over to read about oxeeration ami
condemnation and detcstatlou, and they would
havo put in eternal damnation if they had
spoken what they wished. The truth is thaw
preachers were glad of another southern
outrago to feed upon. They wore getting
hungry. They like tho vittete. I havo
noticed them for years and my opinion, my
deliberate, well matured opinion is that tho
northern republican preachen are bad eltlaens,
especially those from Chicago. Thoir Iovols
adulterated with kato aud their charity with
revenge. I wouldn???t trust them to point tho
road to heaven no moro than I would trust a
Spanish inquisition that used the rack and tho
wheel and torture as a means of conversion.
They know nothing about Quitman or her peo
ple, nothing about tho negro or ills relations to
tho white race. They kuow nothing
about tho south and believe nothing
except what they read in their own politloal
papers, end yet they teach their peoplo to do-
spiso us. They wrltho in anguish because tho
south is solid and tho poor fools don't worn to
roallzo that it is their conduct that is Jumping
her solid. Wo would have had a very respect
able republican party at the south long ago,
hut for such denunciations and such politicians
as Sherman and Logan and Ingalls aud com
pany. I don???t soo any remedy for nil this
and I don???t know that I hopo for any,
If it taken all that to kcop tho
south solid It la all for tho beat I reckon. But
still I would liko to havo some sort oi satisfac

They can then safely go hock to New Jersey,
and for over a year to come may get bitten by
as.many mad dogs as they pleaso with perfect
impunity.
POINTS CONCERNING nVDROPlioiIA.
In a recent interview U. Paatonr said:
???Statistic* show that 80 out of 100 poisons
who are bitten do not become mad. I do not
claim my experiments to ha conclusive, al
though I have treated theso twenty cases of
persons and isvenl hundred eases of dogs and
rabbits and other animals, and not ono so
treated has been affected.
"Usually the victim shows symptoms of hy
drophobia within six months after tho bite;
but scnMtimM it ia three or four yean. After
that time I would consider the danger past.
The lint symptoms an paralysis. It Is a dis
cs*. of the nerves not of the Mood, and per
sona of a nonroua disposition are moat suscep
tible to it if bitten.???
???Fear may weaken the nervous fores and so
make tbs person more suareptibls to the effects
after having been bitten, but fear cannot pro
duce hydrophobia. It never eemw spontane
ously, hut always through a Mto, or at least
through the saliva of an animal haring tho
disease. If you have a slight scratch on year-
skin and a mad dog should lick that eemteb,
yon might get hydrophobia.???

would look on and ace tho negroes subjugate

Woll that was a llo???a big wholesale lie, and
that feller knew it, but that Is tho way thoy
do filings up there. No wonder their good
society is coming south. Wo givo thorn glad

Looking at If from n political standpoint tho

in about three months tboy won't havo any

him to tbo chaingaog for
???tcsJing a half a dollar. Tho negroes find
them ontand tboy find out the negroes aud
they don???thannonlze. I heard a white Ysnkeo
barber cursing the nigger for being in hia way
and he said it was mighty strange to him that
southern people would patronise a nigger bar
ber when there waa a white ono eloaoby, anil
that up in Illinois whero ho camo from thoy
didn't allow a nigger to llvo in tho town,

always go to a colored barber to get shaved,
like the colored barbers of the south. They
are good citizens, well behaved, gontlontanly

Our native born people llko tho negro. Wo
know bin kind nature anil wo know hia
manners. In some things they are hotter
than the white folks but it does look llko
they can???t help stealing. There are about
thirty down here In Orlando jail awaiting
trial and tho ebaingang. They can niako
money here easier than any place In the world,
for It coats a more nothing to llvo, and they
don???t nerd blankets or warm clothing. Ono

steal. Tbo eaiaboose is jnat serosa tho street

to it and making good rourio which Ieqjoy.
Boh Is tho boas darkey at the hotel and gets
twenty dollars a month from his employer and
shont two dollars a day from the drummers for
they all lika him. Bat night before last Bob
stole ono hundred snd fifteen dollars from a
drummer who had given him many a quarter,
and now Bob goes to the ebaingang, bat ho
don???t seem to care. Ho is happy with his
banjo. Weil, tho ebaingang will
not reform Bob neither will it
intimidate any other darkey. Boh ought to
he tied up and whipped shout three times, say
once a month. That would cure him; it used
to in the old slavery days, and it will yah Ono
1 whipping is enough for little pilfering
chickens or a dollar or fifty cents. Audit
would work well on the white man too???I
think it would. Bill Arp.
