,"About onc-half Of what we had
five years ago. The absolute power of
tho society has come to be recognized,
and where a case had to be argued,
there is now implicit obedience"

HospeciailN outside Of Now. York CITY.
In thirty-tour States we have branch

The ladies Of this city presented tho
society with that banner, continued tho
speaker, pointing to u superb banner

upon him. In the back ground the
fair angel of mercy is seen coming to
the rescue, one hand raised in protcc-
ton, tho other, holding a flaming
sword. This device was Mr.. Bcrgh's
own, and q most Admirable one, as it
appeals to the popular sympathy. It
has since been adopted by Italy aud
Austria.
Since its organization tho society has
prosecuted and convicted $500 offend
crs, and prevented tho abuse of ami
mails on 1G,957 occasions.
How usclossly and cruelty the brute
creation is made to suffer. One can
not realize until they take look in the
main office of the building. Here are
stored instruments Of torture that su9-
gcst al inquisition for animals not less
horrible than the Spanish of old for
mon. Clubs and sticks, with knife
blades and forks prongs used by dri-
ycrs; wooden burrs that hayo been
taken from under tho collars Of horses
on strcct-car lines pieces of board and
rocks with which horses have been
beaten and killed; collars, covered
with iron spikes, used for training
| fighting dogs. ., ,.,. .

OIL horses Of every grade, from the
dray to thc caraiagc horse, on which
tic coachman has slyly inflicted it.
These bits arc round pieces of leather
or cork, through which tacks or fine
pointed nails are driven, which, penc-

The most pitcous-looking things are
q pair of bull dogs, stuffed so as to
preserve the attitude, they died in, and
showing tho horrible injuries they had
sustained in mangling cuch other. The
blood is loft Oh the hair just as it dried,
and with one dog tho whole side ofthe
1acol had been bitten off. The people
who have never seen dog-fight, this
Wonld convey n sickeningly rcalistic
idea. Agroup ofpigeons were treated
IN the same way only as they suffered
by the hand Of man. w0.' .t...
The broken forclcgs of horse who
was driven in this condition three
weeks were shown, with name of
owner attached, and '.fincd $3.50" In
almost cycry instance the brutal per-
pctrator of crime had his name tram
scribcd in this uncnviablc way, with
punishment or fine attached.
| Where it is impossible to convey tho
idea any other way photograph does
it; for instance, Mr.. Bcrgh has more
than once found cows SO diseased that
tllGy could not stand, and when liter

THIS is only q specimen Incident. .s,, .,
In the slaughter houses Il sharp look
out has been kept, and, thanks. Ito tho
society, many poor beast has passed
INTO chops and steaks without q pain.
English reports show that the cattle
from America arrive in better condi-

the Court of Appeals, lately sustained
tho society in a case Of hog slaughter

or any other country whore tho rights

Nlr. Bergh spoke with much satis-
faction of the Illinois society's work,
and in laudatory terms of its president.
The next annual meeting will be held
IN Chicago, tho citizens of which will
then have another opportunity to sec a
man who makes humanity his mission
and whose every day blossoms with
fair deeds. Onnss.
