THE LITTLE DOG.
Narrow Escape of Two Ladies in
 Westvi1le Yesterday.

Westville Yesterday.
 At the residence of MT. John s. Foote in Westville yesterday morning two ladies, MT. Foote's wife and Miss Lines, Wood bridge young lady visiting Mrs. Foote, had 8 narrow escape from suffocation. Mr. Foote was away and the two ladies were sleeping together. They had left the register in the room open when they retired as usual. At about 6:30 Miss Lines was awakened by the little dog belonging to Mrs. Foote. The ami nal was in the room with them and putting it's paws up on the bed scratched Miss Line's hand which was hanging over the side. She rose up with difficulty and noticed that the room was full of coal gas. She tried to awaken Mrs. Foote, but found that she was insensible. She opened the door and called to Miss Doolittle, sister of Mrs. Foote, who was sleeping downstairs, and then ran to the telephone, but fell insensible before she could call
 Miss Doolittle immediately summoned the servants and Dr. Cheney was called. She was greatly overcome and 1t was three hours before she recovered consciousness. Miss Lines, who was not affected so much, re- covered sooner They are both out of dan ger and slowly recovering from the effects of the coal gas
 An examination showed that 1t was some slight fault in the furnace that caused the gas to enter the room. Had it not been for the dog they would both have probably died from the effects of the gas before they were discovered. The animal was impelled to arouse the ladies, no doubt, from a sense of danger and discomfort, and being upon the floor was not as much affected by the gas as the ladies were.
 As a precautionary measure people leaving the register open in their bedroom should also lower the windows from the top.
 Wearied with coughing, take Dr. Roberts Cough Syrup of Tar, Boneset and Wild Cher ry. For alabaster skins try the Cream Ja- poniss Fifty cents at drugSists.

Did What .s as Necessary.

NIT. Cartiss, who keeps saloon in the Boulevard, gives the following version of the affair at his place Thursday night; q closed up my place at 12 o'clock, as always do, and was preparing to 30 home, when George Robinson, who is employed at Winchester's etrnory, came to my door in an intoxicated copdition and demanded admittance. I re- fused to admit him, whereupoh he pro ceeded to break the glass in the front door. then went out and pushed him away, but not until after he had attempted to break other windews When I pushed him away he began to scream and make great dis turbance. I then ran back into my store and staid there until got ready to go ho tue, and I never went near any woods. The man had not been in my place that night. I was neither excited nor angry; only sed sufi- cient force to prevent him from enter ing and breaking the windows, and as to his putting me out, he was too intoxicated to put anyone out"

At the recent annual sale of pews in the Congregational church of this place the total amount pledged was larger than for any pre- vious year by nearly seventeen per cent. And within the last two years neat and commo, dious two-story addition to the church edi- flee at the rear has been erected and all paid for, with lecture room on the ground floor and church parlor above. These facts would indicate that the churc and society are in a hourishing condition. And they not only speak we'll for the growth of Congregation alism in the village, but also for the well -di- rected personal influence of the pastor who for so many years has enjoyed the undimin- ished love and confidence of his people

The opinion which has originated this petition is an entirely mis- taken one, based upon the fact that MT. Perkins fouled on Wednesday evening in the game with the Springfelds. MT. Perkins beyond the possibility of denial has done as much as can be done by mortal man for the success of his team, and any dissatisfaction caused by an accident can only be prompted by a personal spite''
