lures Of this incompatible Exposition
it is pleasant to see those humane in
sttutions which more mercifully re.
late to the wants of suffering man ana /
beast, are not without representation.
Mr.. Angel, the leader Of the great |
national organization for the preven-
ton Of cruelty to animals, has large
space in the main building, IN which
he exhibits numerous devices both to
cure and prevent animal suffering,
and is spreading broadcast, papers,
tracts, and other printed matter, treat
ing upon and protesting against the
cruelty which SO many sshuman beasts
mete out to defenceless creatures
4 which are SO unfortunate as to fail
into the hands OF brutal masters.
iSince his advent here he has organ
lied and put to work among the chill
dren several Islands of Mercy" has
secured the repeated publication Of
the State law against cruel treatment
and been active otherwise, in his no.
bic mission.
/ In no city or country is such work
more neede6-nowhere else is such
wanton, beast!y cruelty practiced; the
street car companies being conspcu-
Gus examples OF the most outrageous
barbarism toward the poor mules,
which is only exceeded hy their utter
disregard for the comfort of the peo-
!. pie who are forced to patronize their
, lines. Every coach is large and heavy,
holding, when packed, as they usually
are, from forty to fifty persons, and
drawn by single mule, forced to
strain itself to the utmost to start il
, load fully heavy enough for two strong
y horses. 1t rs a shame that the law is
not rigidly enforced against the crue1
corporations SO lost TO every feeling
OF mercy, and Sc utterly Indifferent tc
7 the comfort Of their patrons. But
this is an unpleasant tepic and We
: leave it to Mr.. Angel and his Bands
If they who go downfto the sea ii
ships deserve the prayers Of good PEG
pie, one who makes the round al the
. wonders of this Exposition, and stud
les them carefully, ii not i'll like dan
ger with the mariner of the deep

displays which everywhere meet Ri
