How Philadelphia Kills Her Useless Dogs.

The dogcatchcrs had started out ut fou
o'clock yesterday morning, and at eight O'Clock
the hour set for the killing, had not yet re
turned. The pound was, therefore, somewha
short of hands for catching the dogs in TIT
yards. What help could be improyiscd, how
ever, was soon al work coaXing the dogs neal
enough to capture them, and then dropping
! them into the place devoted TO their death
The smaller dogs were first taken, the larger
ones being left for a second execution to i'm
mediatcly follow the first. BY eight O'Clock
there were cighty-dogs in the smothcring
chamber This chamber is simply Il walled
space flush with the ground, and with open
ings on three sides and trap-door above, all
the openings being furnished with movable
wire gratings and glass windows. The glass
windows were left out as the dogs were being
gathered together, for the purpose OF giving
them a little respite of air until the full capa-
city of the chamber was filled. The animals
were pretty generally quiet and unbalanced in
their narrow quarters, but one or two, perhaps
wiser, perhaps weaker than the rest kept up Il
constant whining. Now the blue flame at the
top of the halfconsumed charcoal announced
that full supply of the poisonous carbonic
oxide was ready. The chamber was then made
alright by means of lis tightly.fitting glass
windows, and the gas was at once let into it.

heads trembling from side to side As yet no

From minute TO minute and a half after

two or three minutes more there is no sign of

The jewish Feast of Hanucah.

This festival. which began on Satur.
day last, will continue till Sunday next.
but the most interesting exercises Of
the week occurred last Sunday. Ii was
public service, held in the B'nai
Teshurun Temple, at which two hun
dred and fifty pupils with the officers
Of the institution, were seated together
in front Of the Temple.
The choir opened with the Hapuo,h
hymn, the President lit the Hanucah
lights; the pupils, in chorus, said the
proper benedictions in Hebrew. Than
lali0wed the Maarib with choral into.
nations, then songs by the children and
declamations-the recitation of tae
Hanuoah story, and other songs and
declamauons.
The scholars and officers then with
drew to the sehool-room In the base
ment, where the younger class was
waited Oh to candles, cakes, ice-cream
and fruits, and there was joy and hilar-
ity among the youngsters, who ate.
laughed and babbied to their hearts
content.
In an adjoining room there was spread
