ALL DOGS MUST PAY TAXES.
Judge Smell Reverses u Former Rul
ing and Agrees with Judge

mtLh.
The question of dog taxes has been agi-
tating the public for some time, and in the
last two months hundreds Of persons have
been charged before the Police Court with
keeping unlicensed dogs. There were
thirty-three cases before the court to-day.
The question of whether person was liza
bic 10 be fined for keeping dog without
tag, if the animal did not run at large, is
question that agitated the minds of IA large
number Of dog owners. Last year tho ques-
tion was settled by Judge Smell, who held
that such cases were not fneable. Judge
Mills decided recently, in the absence Of
Judge Smell, that they were. Michael Cor
coran, Of Fifteenth and l. streets, was
charged this morning with keeping q dog
in his carriage-house, that he failed to take
out tog for. He raised tho point that the
dog did not run at large, but tho Court
held that everybody who kept dog aud
failed to take out license, was liable to
the law. Mr.. Corcoran decided to take out
the license and tho case was suspended
until Monday. .ass

THE TOWN WITHOUT ToWNERs
Would Not Be Town Mt Az.

One of the most attractive places of
business in tho city is at No. 1915 Seventh
street northwest. 1t is the stoSe of L. b.
Towner g. Son, and they dealfn dry goods.
The store was always wellspatronized. 1t
was comparatively small. The patronage
increased so that the size sot the store had
also to be increased. This has been done,
and the result is morc than satisfactory.
The store has been thrown back 100 feet.
Every convenience for handling and ex-
hibiting goods has been supplied.
The windows sfe large panes of the finest
plate glass. The counters are admirably
arranged, aud the stock of goods is as com.
plete as any IN the city. TowAer & Son
was formerlya small concern. They now
have the l9rgest store in North Washing
ton. They have been successful from tho
start. Their success has been due to prompt
and clog attention to business and II con-
tentmght with small profits. There is mu-
tual god feeling between the firm, its en-
plOyfs and the many customers. Towner
& Sbn will, in their big store, conduct bust
nSS just as they did in the small one. Lila

TEE PRINCE OF WALES.
Really Hard Worked Mantle Record of
Day.
on Letter in San Francisco Chronicle.

London Letter in San Francisco Chronicle
When the Prince of Wales is in London,
where he spends considerable portion of the
year. he is one of the hardest-worked men in his
great city. Take the past week, for instance.
In it there has not been single day on which he
has not presided at some public ceremony where
he has been CALLED upon to make long
speech, and twice during the week no has
acted as chairman at public dinners given ia aid
of charity, from which he has not been able to
escape until shorty before midnight. One day
was spent in the east end of London. another in
opening new building for the accommodation
of the poorer of the working classes in that
crowded district of London lying adjacent to
st. Martins Lane. l was present both oc
easions, and I was fairly astonished at the
enthusiastic reception given to the Prince
and Princess by the very, very poor of London.
1t may interest the reades to know something
Of the daily life of the Prince of Wales at his
home in London at Marlborough House. He
rises at about 10 o'clock, unless he has an early
engagement in the interest of the public, and
if such be the case, no hour is too early for
him On such occasions, / may add that
the punctuahty of his Royal Highness
has become proverbial He never
keeps anybody waiting, never breaks promsa,
and is ALWAYS on hand to the minute at any cere-
monial in which he has promised to take part.
While dressinf he drinks cup of chocolate, and
then takes stroll in the grounds and smokes a
cigarette. He is no breakfast eater, and if he
has no engagement reads the papers and attends
to his private correspondence, with the aid of his
secretary, until l o'clock when he lunches with
the Princess and those members of his family
who happen to be in town. After lunch, usually
accompanied by his wife, he pays calls to
private friends, drives or rides in the park
for an hour, and is then dropped at one of
his clubs where he chats and possibly
play q game of billiards until dinner time.
After dinner one or other of the theaters is
generally patronized. and on these occasions the
Princess and one or more of the young princesses
accompany him. OF course this is a specimen
of a day on which there is no work to be done,
and during the London season it is a rare occur
renee that there is not new building to be
opened foundation stone to be laid a hospital
to be visited or ragged school to be inspected.

Cleveland aud the west India Turtle.

Washington Letter.
''Grovor Cleveland" said one Of the leading
Republican Senators of the West, "reminds me
of q story they tell of the West India turtle.
They say if it is left on the deck of ship, and
in walking around it happens to find ring bolt
in its course it will put it's head through this
and will then keep walking, sprawl
ing, and pushing for hours at a time try
lug to make its body follow its head. 1t
has not the sense to pull its head out and
start around, but pushes away on the principle
that bull headedness and perseverance, conquer
ali things. Cleveland will be like the turtle. I
think he will, perhaps, make good President
by doing nothing bad. He will choose good adj
gfsers, and he can't hurt the country very much

Possibility of an Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 26.-The Star says the
House will take no action on the bill making ap-
preparations for the naval service for the sue
ceeding six months which was passed in the
Senate just before the holiday adjournment,
and the committee viii not recognize
it in their consideration of the subject.
The impression is if the Senate does
not reeede from its position entirely, the House
will simply pass appropriations for the next ifs
cal year, and after the 4th of March an extra
session will have to be called.
