HIRED TRAIN TO SAVE CHILD.
Dr. Starr's Daughter Dome From
.,.. .aj aF tUinMiai.:
A special train, driven at the rate
of nearly seventy miles an hour,
brought to this city from Cape May
Sunday a little girl, apparently dying
of appendicitis, and the agonized fa
ther and mother. Mario, 12 years of
age, daughter of Dr. II. Walter Starr,
a (lenlist, pt 1,17 south Seventeenth
street, was the sufferer. The train
left Capo May at nine minutes before
noon, and made the seventy-eight
miles from there to Camden in sev
enty minutes, a greater speed than
had been attained before on that di
vision of the Reading Railway.
An ambulance from the Mcdico
Chlrurgical Hospital had been sum
moned and crossed the river to Cam
den, where the child was placed in
it; and at. five minutes after 2 o'clock
she was in tho operating room. She
was etherized by Dr. . Charles Rey
nolds, and Dr. William Easterly Ash
ton then opened the abdomen and
removed the vermiform appendix.
-Ho was assisted by Dr. John McGlyn.
Doctor and Mrs. Starr were at thei
hospital, but not Jn the. operating
room at the time. The child came
out of the state of anesthesia very
promptly. Dr. Ashton expressed con
fidence in her complete recovery.
Dr. Starr's daughter was attacked
with what seemed to be intestinal
trouble two days ago. A physician
' yesterday morning counseled imme
diate operation.' She was suffering
intensely, and there was danger that.
she would die of exhaustion, duo to
convulsions. .:
When the train started it. became
a niicstion whether the child would
live until she reached tho hospital.
Stimulants and restoratives were
given her to ward off a collapse. The
journey was one of alternate hope
and despair. Couched on downy pil
lows in . a drawing room car, the
mother and father watched her
breathlessly every instant. t
The transfer from the train to the
ambulance and across the ferry was
-' another interval of suspense. Then
came the supremo anxiety of the op
eration. Mrs. Starr bore herself with
fortitude Until it was over, and then,
nearly fainting, was taken bv her
husband to the house of a friend.

My little son, when about a year

but the sores grew
worse. Then they
began to come on
his arms, then on

bony, anu then one
came on his chest,
worse than tho
others. Then I call

of about a year and a half of suffering
he grew so bad I had to tic his hands
in cloths at night to keep him from
scratching thesorcs and Waring the flesh.
"He got to be a mere skeleton, and
was hardly able to walk. My Aunt
advised mo to try Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. So great was her faith in
it that she gave me a small piece of
Soap to try and a little of the Oint

faith, but to please her I tried it, and
it seemed to dry up the sores a little.
"I sent to the drug store and got a
cake of the Soap and a box of tho
Ointment and followed tho directions,
and at tho end of nbout two months
the sores were all well. Ho has
never had any sores of any kind since.

Curious Fear of T'resli Air.
People who were born and bred
in the country and who still livo there
arc as a rule curiously afraid of fresh
air. From the living rooms, espe
cially the "parlor," they rigidly ex
clude every approach of outdoor air
except, at bousecleaning time and
they are more cautious still as to
sleeping rooms. The farmers, in
spite of their outdoor employment,
suffer not a little from consumption.
It seems a pity when these country
dwellers might, have their lungs filled
with 'pure, fresh air day and night,
sleeping or waking, that the poison
ed air they breathe at night should
be allowed to offset the good effects
obtained through the day's work in
the field. If the enlightened visi
tors, paying guests and summer
boarders who have learned that one's
manner of life than one's place of
living may be depended upon to pre
vent consumption would but circu
late their knowledge in a practical
way in country places their vaca

' " : I,
t XCLE SAM'S ZOO.
t,
Animal Town in Washington, One of
the Rest in Kxistence.
Undo Sam is enough of a Yankee
to be something of a showman. He
has a menagerie and zoo at his home
in Washington which is truly a model
of its kind.
How he became the proprietor of
this unique animal collection, and a
dealer in as well as a purchaser of
strange and wonderful birds, beasts
and reptiles is told in tho Rosary
Magazine.
Fifteen years ago our national
uncle did not know tho differenct be
tween an armadillo and an ibex; but
today ho has in his consular service
an army of agents which he may at
any time utilize in securing desir
able animals for the, National Zoo
logical Park his "greatest show on
earth."
According to accounts, tho found
ing of this great scientific collection
ocurred In a qui to accidental man
ner . The Smithsonian Institution
and National Museum had a large
collection of stuffed birds and animals
and employed several taxidermists to
prepare specimens for exhibition.
Naval officers, consuls and other
people coining from abroad sent gifts
of live animals to the institution,
and it became a practlco to keep a
number of these on the grounds in
order that the taxidermists might
sketch and study the animals in their
natural positions.
Of,' course, after awhile this prac
tice became more or less of a nuis
ance. The matter at last was brought
un to Mr. liiinge.ly, director of the
Smithsonian institution, and he it
was who conceived I lie project of
having the animals kept in a park
adapted to their needs.
Mr. Langcly's plan was agitated
among the officials of the institution
and it wa sin the end decided to ask
congress for an -appropriation for a
National Zoological Park a unique
animal park designed particularly
and esptclaily with a view to the com
fort of the animals. There was a
great deal of opposition, until in
1889 congress appropriated $200,000
to go toward tho purchase of a suit-,
ablo site for Animal Town. J
A natural park of woodland 170;
nf-rt's in extent, embracing the valley!
of Rock Creek and the surrounding '
hills," was .purchased and an addi
tional appropriation for maintenance
followed. (
There are many mysteries to the ;
untutored in the menagerie. For in- j
stance, Keeper Blackburn often j
changes an animal from one cage to i
nnnfner Ho has found that chang-i
ing tho' cage of a confined animal
once in a while improves its general
condition and makes it better and
I healthier. ;
Tho caged animal is not long in
his prison before he knows every
inch of it, every scratch on the steel
bars, every knot in the floor. Hour
by hour, day by day, he has the same
environment, the same outlook. This
monotony is killing to an animal, for
tho impression received through the
senses are everything to tho creature
that has not intellect.
Many rare creatures have been se
cured by our foreign consuls. A baby
tapir from South Africa came in this
way, and the first : Alaskan muskox
ever shipped to tho United : States
was secured through official channels.
From Alaska came another animal,
tho pride of the zoo the immense
Alaskan brown bear. This great,
beast, more than eight feet tall, is
still crowing, and is tho largest spec
imen of its kind In captivity.

is the big yak, from central Asia, a
very much upholstered looking bo
vino that is also rare. The graceful
little African antelope, which like
our bison is threatened with extinc
tion, is represented in tho collection
by several specimens. If this is not
enough, then ask to see the Tasman
ian devil a sort of rat of tho bear
family, which was sent by the Amer
ican consul at New South Wales.
As to the birds, there are birds in
houses, birds in the great flying cage,
and vulture-like, preying birds in a
smaller flying cage.
Near by, in a separate enclosure,
is a wonderful creature, the largest
bird extant a harpio eagle from the
South American Andes, sent to the.
Zoo by Lieutenant Todd of the United
Statts Cruiser Washington.
The m-incinal outdoor flying cage,
where most of the birds are confined,
Is built over a tree studded plot and
is 300 feet long, 50 feet high and 100 j
feet wide. Inside tho trees and
shrubs grow as In the natural state I
and the birds nest and rest among
the branches. The cage is the lar-j
gest of the kind ever built.
The consular service Is not tho only
nvenue through which animals come.
A number are presented by private
individuals. Sometimes animals are
bought from big dealers nnd not in
frequently menageries and circuses
make gifts or loans to the institu
tion. At present a herd of Buffalo Bill's
'bison are boarding at the National,
and In the fine new elephant house
is Dunk, Forepaugh's keeper killing
elephant, which was presented to the
zoo after it had killed two men.
' Manv rifts of all sorts of animals
come to the president and all these 1
are cared for at the zoo. These aro i
too many to enumerate, but wo might j
mention the lion nnd the hvena sent I
by tho King of Abyssinia, and nu
merous coons preesnled by
T?nnseveHfi Snuthprn friends fifter
the Booker Washington luncheon.
