A GOOD use has at last been found for
dogs. In Roxbury few days since little
boy was seriously Ill with diphtheria. He
was the owner OF small dog, which had
been denied access to the sick room. The
dog managed to slip in, and before
the attendant could take him, he sprang

The use of lace on all styles Of dresses

that it is fortunate that the laces so used

We are inclined TO think the Reds l3 errors,

hits made by the Troys is sufficient eX-

1t now seems, Judging from late advices
from Troy, that the Reds contemplate lay,
ing Barnes off, and playing Gerhardt on
third and Foley on second base. Neither
of the last two named can equal Barnes on
second. His great fault in playing ball is
being governed by the way the other mem
