TOE OMAIIA DAILY BEE. SUNDAY, JULY 26, 1903. SOCIETY AND SUMMER SPORT Cog Ctjt to B Spent in Playing Ont-of- Door Ganm. GYMKHANA AT COUNTRY CLUB STARTS Program for the Affair la Arranged ad Monday Will Witness Ita Fulfillment o the Uwi of the Clab. Rosemary. A year ago In the cool night air we drifted along In our boat; My rose she wore In her raven hair; I wore her rose on my coat. And I'm wond-rlng now, while the gaa Jet's flare. Does she still delight to float. W hose rose rests tonight In her raren hair. And who wears her rose on his coat 7 The circus, the clubs and a few a very' few morning affairs and the story of the week Is told, excepting, of course, the de parture or return of practically every boJy one knows. The whist clubs members are about the only ones In town who are go Ing on as usual and It Is an open aeoret now that the women put on their dressing Jackets when they sit down to the game In the morning and wear them until the game li over, late In the afternoon. If any body has plans for this week they have not announced them and to date, the Gymk hana,' at the Country club, and the tennis tournament at the Field club are the only things to look forward to, excepting the mid-week hops and dinners at both clubs. Tomorrow the members of the Country club that Is those who have not already heard of It will be startled from their mid Summer lethargy or the golf habit, by the announcement that on next Saturday after noon the Country club Is to have a gymk hana. The announcement will be accom panied by an Invitation to come and par ticipate. Fortunately a program of the events has been announced and these are quite as promising as the name sounds, For the women there will be the spoon and olive race. In which the participants will each start with spoons In their mouths and an olive In each spoon. The woman who reaches the goal first with the olive still In her spoon will be awarded a prise. There will also be a plate and egg race and a putting figure. For the men there will be a bottle race, a potato race and a baseball figure, in skirts. A course will be marked off out In front of the club with flags in the colors of the club, navy blue and gold. and seats will be placed about the course. The following men have been appointed Judges:' Messrs. O. W. Wattles, F. P. Kirk endall and H. T. Lemlst. A committee of women are working for the success of the afternoon, its members being Miss Dewey, Mrs. Charles Kountze, Mrs. John McShane, Mrs. Arthur Qulou, Mrs. Fairfield and Mrs. B. H. Sprague. They will be assisted by the tournament committee. A marquee Is to be erected In the background and here tea will be served after the prises have been awarded. It la probable that the mysteries of "Un cle Dick's" famous toast book to which allusion was made In these columns last week may be opened up to his friends bf Its publication In a limited edition. The precious compilation Is now In the custody of Mr. Robert Patrick, who, with a few friends of the late Mr. Berlin, have under taken to guaranty the expenses of the print ing. It If comes out, as It sure will, It will be In a form whloh will make every acquaintance and admirer of tha genial Dick want a copy as a personal souvenir. The waiters at the Omaha club have blos somed out in ' natty new uniforms which help give the establishment an up-to-date appearance, although the dark blue color hardly comports with the airiness of sum mer which would naturally be expected. A notice was posted at the Country club last week that, to some extent at least, will curtail the Informality that has been one of the most pleasant . features of the Saturday evening table d'hote dinner. It reads: "Hereafter members reserving tables for Saturday night dinners must fur nish the club with a list of their guests. No reservations will be accepted after Fri day evening for the Saturday night' din ner." And still the rumors of engagements con tinue to take definite form and the promises of the spring tor develop Into formal an nouncements. This week brings the an nouncement of the engagement of daughters of two of Omaha's prominent families to two men equally prominent In business and social circles. Miss Elisabeth Cleveland Allen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Allen, and Mr. James I Paxton, and Miss Frances Purvis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Purvis, to Mr. Alfred O. Elllck. The wedding of Miss Allen and Mr. Paxton will occur In the fall, but the time for the other has. not been stated as yst at least not publicly. Among the most pleasant announcements of the week and one that came aa a .nr. prise to all, was that tof the marriage of jjr. rreuericK LKe and Miss Katharine Imogene Wright, daughter of Mr. and Mrs A. J. Wright of Newton. la., which eurred at their summer home at Lake uKODoji. xnursaay. Among the rules for the guidance of members of the Lincoln Country club Is one which reads: "No round or banking games or dice throwing or betting shall be permitted In the club." The Omaha Country club has a rule that there shall be no drinking over the bar and It Is said that one of the Cincinnati clubs has re cently posted a notice forbidding smoking among women at leaat while they are within the ground limits. Thla Is rather a suggestive trio of prohibitions. And now that every body else has tone the hay fever sufferers are beginning to be heard from. According to one of the local physicians who knows.

Mtilei'a Letter. THREE ALTERNATIVES GIVEN DOG OWNERS thief Doaahae Declares All Caalaes f Which "Vleloae" Contplalats Are Filed Mast Be Killed, Cbalaea Vp or Moisted. Health Commissioner Ralph said yester day morning: "Every man, whatever his station In life. Is entitled to his pwn opinion, and on mat ters of disease members of the medical profession certainly have a right to ex- press their opinions, and they should De given consideration. Therefore Dr. George L. Miller's article on hydrophobic Is entitled to attention. Dr. Miller does not deny the existence of hydrophobia, though declaring It, which is undoubtedly true, a very rare disease. It is very probably true that not more than one dog In a number or thousands will communicate hydrophobia to person or another animal. But I look upon the muuilng or dogs as I do upon vaccination. It may net be necessary In many cases, but If the muMling of 1,000 oogs win prevent one case oi nyaropnooia then the dogs should be muzzled. The consensus of opinion of medical writers on the subject is that there Is a disease, with definite symptoms, which we call nyaropnooia, ana ini preventive me&s- "-"" Several Physician, la Case. ..g0 far tna caJW reportea from the north en(1 or town , concerned 1 cannot speak from personal knowledge, but Mrs. Stover wss attended and seen by several reputable physicians who pronounced it case of hydrophobia, which I think Is suf flclent No physician can state without seeing a person whether or not they are suffering from hydrophobia In this case those who did see the person so pronounced Chief Donahue, who Is also in favor of having all dogs muzzled, has received number of complaints of vicious dogs dur Ing the past week, and In response has sent officers to the owners of them with three alternatives: To have the dog killed at once; to cnaln them up and keep them chained up; or to have them muzzled. One old man who called on him, Chief Donahue said, was so nervous that even if the dog had not been mad the old man would appeared that he would have died as the result of what might ordinarily have been a harmless bite or wound. It tne ordinance regarding muzzling Is passed both Commissioner Ralph and Chief Donahue will endeavor to see that humane ana sanitary muzzles are used. The old styie strap muzzle may be prohibited and owners be required to use the cage muzzles wmcn the dogs can wear constantly, and which allows them to eat and drink freely while at the same time preventing the biting of persons or other animals. . , OMAHA, July 26,-To the Editor of The Bee: As soon as the warm days of turn- D,w cm ,n on, towns and cities laws r" enacted, or enforced, requiring that all o0 found at large unmuzzled shall be k,Ued' but n " the onts of autumn aw-M- me un are permuted to roam un muszled, unmolested. This muzzling of dogs In hot weather Is supposed by many lntelll- ent Persona to be a protection of the peo- Pie from the terrible disease, hydrophobia. It Is, however, a superstition, born of an tne dog days or summer have absolutely no relation to mad dogs or the development of hydrophobia. Slrtus. or the "dog star," the most bril llant of the fixed stars and the largest In the constellation of Canls Major, or the "Great Dog," received Its name from Slris. one of the Egyptian appellations of the River Nile, because Its heliacal rising (I. e.. Just before sunrise) gave warning that the overflow of the river was about to corn- mence, and the so-called "dog davs" of summer, as reckoned by the ancients, were forty In number, twenty before and twenty after the heliacal rising of the Dog 8tar. The rising of the Dog Star was tgnorantly supposed to be the occasion . of the ex- treme heat, and of the diseases Incidental to these days. It was by mere accident that the rising of the star coincided with tha hottest season of the year, In times and countries of the old astronomers. Tha tlma of its rising depends on the latitude nf th place, and is later and later everv vaar in all latitudes, owing to procession Tn h distant future the star will rise In the winter and the almanacs mark "dog days in January, . instead of August. Aboait Hydrophobia. Hydrophobia la a disease of the nervous system of man. Induced by a poison from seme member of the canine or feline fam ily, as the dog, fox, wolf. Jackal cat or skunk, and some others, which may or may I not have rabies at the time. Mr. Mason's brlndle terrier. Prince, did not develop I The licking of a sore on a lady's face by ttrr lap dog has caused hydrophobia from which the lady died, but the dog had no I rabies. There is abundant evidence show. Ing that these animals, do not need to be mad or have rabies to cause' hydrophobia. While the bite of a rabid animal Is mora poisonous, the facta are that of twentv i persons bitten, even by a rabid animal. only one on the average develons hvd. phobia. Hence the reputation of the vaunted specifics for hydrophobia. No doubt the intended muzzling of aome dog and the destruction of all vimm Ar... during hot weather la meant for th. pi,-, good, but It will be quite temporary In ,tt operation, and during tha remain,!.. of tn lar Ie th" communlty nnpro.

The g should be secured, well taken care of nd locked up for a few dsys to see If rabies develop. The muzzle Is not a pro tection, for the dog must be unmuzzled to be fed, and Is of Itself a constant source of annoyance to the dog, and like hard Uriahs, poor food and cold weather may be the means of worry to the dog, conditions hlch may make vagrant dogs develop rabies. What then shall be done? Let all worth less dogs be destroyed, and the few val uable ones that remain have their tusks, canine and incisor teeth filed down ,from a point to a flat surface, so that they will not penetrate the unbroken skin. This Is easily done, does not harm the dog nor nflt him for any useful purpose. While not an Infallible protection thla Is the beat xpedlent known to scientific men at the present time. DR. L. A.

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM "Wh.n the eastern people want rest they must crawl Into a hole," said a returned Shrlner last week, "for as Saratoga Spring. I. said to be one of their resorts for that tired feeling their ordinary life must be something strenuous." This waa said after several day. at home, the most of the time being devoted to sleep. The members of Tangier temple, with the ex ception of Psst Imperial Potentate Akin, have returned from the east, and, accord- ng to their stories, there never was such three days' Journey as that which they put ln between Omaha and Saratoga Springs.

It was great trip and the Omaha Shrlner. had an excellent opportunity to receive a re turn for the treatment accorded visitors few year, ago, when Tangier temple en tertained the Imperial council. Saratoga did Itself proud and the only complaint that the visitors had wa. that the mem ber, of the order ln that part of the state never know when bedtime comes, and ex pect ordinary western people to conform with their way. Immediately. One of the Interesting features nf the council waa the action of the delegates from St. Louis. . The membership desired to go to that city for the next meeting, but those men from Missouri got up and raleed a howl which could be heard clear to the Missouri river. They loved the boy, but desired to have a rest some time during the piping time, of the exposition year, and It was to give the representa tives of St. Louis a chance to secure quiet ness for a few days that the council de cided to hold Ita next meeting at Atlantic City, N. J. This week Is to be a lively one ln local lodge circles. The first event will be the visit of the members of the order of the Knight, of Pythias to Plattsmouth tomor row night.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY Miss Jean Hamilton, secretary of the National league of Women Workers, writes of the club movement among factory women that It Is a success because these clubs have been conducted by the women themselves and without the assistance of boards of women managers, because they have Insisted upon being self-supporting, meeting expenses through means of their own devising and avoiding patronage from outsiders. Much I. done In the way of en tertainment and that Is a positive good. ministering wisely to a craving. The use ful members, much to the regret of the older leaders In class work, often Incline to embroidery rather than to the more useful arts of sewing, cooking and house keeping. However, curiously enough, many girl, who begin with fancy work next take up plain sewing. The younger members also take kindly to talks on art and travel, and It is told of a little factory girl, who had been listening to an Imaginary trip through Italy, that she said: "We have something to talk about now at noon be sides the haterulnrss of the forewoman and one another's clothes." Again, through the club abuses ln many factories have been righted. In New York state the club, maintain a mutual benefit fund, an alli ance employment bureau, and a vacation house. In Pennsylvania rest rooms, lunch rooms and boarding homes have grown out of the working girls' club. Through the effort, of Mr. E. O. Bart- lett of St. Paul, vice president of the Sixth district of Nebraska, a nsw club has been organized at North Loup, with Mrs. Kate True as president, Mrs. Delia Chase vice president, Miss Fannie McClelland re cording secretary, Mrs. A. B. Prentice cor responding secretary and Mrs. Guy Daun treasurer. The Nolo Study club Is to be Its name and American history has been taken up a. the study for the first year. It i. hoped that another club will be organized at Scott. Bluff. It 1. Mid that the Influence of the Na tional Federation of Teacher, waa felt more thl. year than ever before, and there are some member, of the National Educational association who predict that It i. but a question of time until the Na tional Educational association wilt become subordinate to the younger and more ag gressive organisations from the west. For the first time In the history of the Na tional Educational association a grade teacher was elected last year as a director of the association. This was Miss Cath erine Groggln of Chicago. This year .he was re-elected and four other women were elected directors Miss May L. Scott of Idaho, Miss Lydia A. Yates of North Car olina, Miss Lucy Robinson of West Vir ginia and Miss Estelle Reel of Wyoming. The following officers were elected at the closing session' of the Lake Placid con ference on Home Economics, held In Bos ton last week: Chairman, Mrs. Ellen H.

I.; secretary and treasurer, Miss Grace Godfrey, Sim mon, college; corresponding recretary, Mrs. Melvll Dewey, Albany, N. Y. A resolu tion was passed to co-operate with tho New England Educational league to have home economics made an elective study In the public school. ' While the program for the Fremont meetlnar of the Nebraska Federation Is .till Incomplete, the partial outline, as an-1 nounced by Mr.. W. E. Page, at Beatrice on Monday, Is very promising. The session will open on Tuesday, October ( and con tinue through Wednesday and Thursday. The meeting of the Nebraska Library as sociation I. to be held In Fremont Wednes day and Thursday of the same week and it ha. been arranged that Thursday evening be a Joint session of the two, a. the fed eration Is so largely Interested In library work.

Other subjects are planned for the session. Already the shadow of the next biennial of the General Federation of Women'. Clubs Is casting Its shadow over the affairs of the Nebraska Federation. The meet ing at St. Louis will not only be one of the most Important ever neia, out n bids fair to be one of the most pleasant Coming as It does ln conjunction with the great Louisiana Purchase exposition, the women of St. Louis have long been laying the foundation for preparations to enter tain the General Federation in a manner ...ch a. never has been attempted before. This in Itaelf ia enough to fire the seal of any ambitious woman wno may om -nam.. as a "probable delegate, but the matter, .h.t are to come before the csalon of the General Federation are of uch Importance that they also afford an exceuent icuu for aspiring women to attend If P' in Nebraska It wa. an all but established custom to give each president of the state federation two terms, a rule first broken two years ago, when Mrs. Apperson was turned down and Mr..
