trict like Whitechapel, where any given
track would DO criss-crossed by tens OF thou
sands Of other tracks inside Of an hour. the
task Of following the murderer by the scent
would be altogether beyond the power OF
even the keenest nosed dog.
And even il Sir Charles experiments had
been successful to marked degree, the re-
suits would have justified no sanguine ex
pectations, For the experiments were made
early in the morning when few people would
be stirring, and the chance Of obliteration
by subsequent trails was at the minimum
whereas the search for the murderer would,
very likely, have TO be made at busy time
Of the day.
When Sir Charles lost the dogs he was try
ing them in the open country. They had
been taken tn a common in the suburbs and
there Laid on scent after scent"
Whether they showed any progress in the
noble art Of man hunting is not stated, but

1t is quite possible that this last exploit OF
Sir Charles Warren will move the London
publications that sail under comic colors TO

Out to Follow Other Trails. and They
Got Away-A Horrible Letter.
London bad begun to forget all about the
horrible Whtechapel murders, when one
morning not long ago the great metropolis
was shaken from tho innermost recesses OF
the city to the elegant suburbs that have
been lately built for the occupation OF the
wealthy and cultivated by the announcement
that Sir Charles Warren's dogs were loose,
Sir Charles had for some time been train
ing these dogs with view 70 having them
track and tree the human fend who has been
operating in Whtechapel, whenever that
shrewd ghoul should kill another victim.
All the world remembers how much Slr
Charles banked upon his bloodhounds and
how he made himself the laughing stock OF
everybody by letting them chase his august
person one very early morning not long ago
One would imagine that his experience on
that occasion would have shaken his faith In
the wisdom OF the scheme, for. 30 the &C
count runs, they only succeeded IN making
even fair showing one time In three.

Rats in the White House.
From tho NeU York sun.


All in all, no story travels quite as far as the
story about the White House or its occupants.
A curious instance of this has just come out in
the foreign correspondence of the President.
Some inventive genius about two months ago
set ahoat yarn to the effect that the White
House was infested with rats. There are TODAY
letters coming TO the President founded on that
very basis. All of them come from Frenchmen.
curiously enough and all of them propose some
means of getting rid of the pest One was,
oddly from cheese manufacturer Ia the prov.
ince of Eure, and unlike all the rest of the rat
doctors be did not ask for any reward for his
recipe. He advised catching one of the rodents
alive, cutting a slit in the skin of his back, put
ting good dose of salt aud pepper underneath,
and letting the animal go again. The French.
man veracously predicts that the rat will run
through the house uttering piercing cries, and
that these cries of warning will warn his com
panion rats 10 escape All of the Frenchmen
who write seem to regard the story most soberly,
save one who writes from Paris, and puts in the
end of his letter the suggestion that possibly it
may not all be trIIe-iu short, hints that he
smells q mice.

sick at home on Church street, Mr.. Rhodes,
who owned the adjoining premises, had dug
up ground, though served with notice by
her not TO do so. The digging was to such
an extent that sewer was laid bare open,
