The Philadelphia Times, writing on pet
dogs as maintained by giddy girls and
other incompetents, very properly points
out the cause Of the sudden fits Of mall
ciousness that often make the pet canine
dangerous. The dog is generally amiable
and afectionate, but he is pampered IN
warm rooms and fed on rich food until
his blood Is fevered and his temper dis
eased. One of the most prevalent mis-
takes is to persuade dog to eat when he
does moi want it, but the mistakes o n
stitute the whole domestic system of dog
management. The animal wants open
air and exercise with very plain food,
such as all sportsmcn give their dogs, and
which long experience has shown to be
the best.
When ladies keep a little dog at The
end of a ribbon all the time, they ought to
keep sense and judgment at the other
end, and when they have delicacies to
spare, try them first on a dude.

Justice Miller of the United States Su-
preme Court has written an article on the
trial by jury, and he thinks that "a jury
is in the main as valuable as an equal
number of judges would be as a tribunal
for ascertaining the truth in regard TO
controverted questions OF fact. The
necessity hat all shall concur in order to
render a verdict insdres the fullest posi-
BILE discussion of all the controyerted
facts in every doubtful case. Many in
stances have been known in which the
first vote of a jury showed only one of
its members in favor of a verdict TO
which all twelve ultimately agreed as
right. In such cases the veto power OF
one man enables him to avert a re-
suit which would otherwise be reached
precipitately and without due and care
full consideration. Ii should also be borne
In mind that many cases occur in the
courts, out of the thousands which are
tried and determined every year, in which
the testimony is SO conflicting and com
plicated that, in the very nature of things
men must disagree as to what is the righ'
conclusion to be drawn from them. I'm
der such circumstances, the disagreement
of a Jury is no discredit to the jury sys

gagged in trying to enhance the value OF

is appointed it will recommend Congress
TO pass laws to restrict the pools and

@ PRgyyLEGEs,

An additional attraction which orna-
ments the Booth Barrett combination
with a feature that beautifully harmon
ICES with the artistic proportions OF the
rest Of the scheme Is that the victim at the
shrine of Thespis after being allured into
the idea that no person Of pretense TO style
or fashion could afford not to see the
show, must pay three dollars for the priv
ilege Of bidding for a seat.
We use the term "shrine of Thespis'
in order to acknowledge the claim of the
combination to higher degree of compli-
! ment than simple theatre or opera house
would indicate.
The premium asked for the privilege
of bidding at the auction being exactly
twice as much as the seat is worth, we
again recur TO the magnificent degree OF
" gall" which slaps a country tom in
the face with an affront to its intelli-
gence and then proposes to make the peo-
pie pay Cor it upon the idee that half the
community does not know a great actor
from an ordinary one, and that the other
half if they know any better could not
stay away from the greatest show on
earth for fear OF losing caste in society or
suffering from the talk on the gossip ex-
change. There are some more people
St II who do not grasp the monstrosity oil
humbug in thus putting a net over the
guileless and unsuspecling inhabitants OF
the provincial town"
When a verdant countryman seeks
profit and amusement in the noble game
of Poker, according to that learned au-
thority, General Schenck, sometime min
lister to the Court of st. James, the first
alarming feature Of the game as it strikes
| the rural observer is the " ante" which,
if doubled or trebled by the next player,
| requires the stake To be increased to that
amount or lost.
We should say, therefore, that the
auction o! seats at three dollars the
ante" and the possibility of losing that
if the next bidder happens to be greener
and richer, should suggest al improve
ment on the plan of selling the privilege
of bidding.
1t cannot be denied that a combination
of Poker and drama would bring to the
pure and noble cause of art a more prOtta-
BILE support than a mere trick of the auc-
ton business. Besides the money, it
would borrow a certain splendor from
the similarity of characters in cards and
plays.
Then might the King play a part like
great actors can make out of Richard,
the Queen might use her most winning
smile and the Knave find himself at home.
By all means let the Booth Barrett
combination try on the next "Provin-
cial town" on the route a distribution OF
seats at Poker, with the "ante" fixed at
three dollar, and then the innocent vii
layers will not complain, because they
will understand the real spirit of the
thing and not mind it so much if they
are fieeced.

In the Ellis-Houston contest in the

themselves hoarse over the high moral
ethics which are supposed to control the

Republicans are smiling complacently in

1t would be sure wager of five to one
that when the vote is taken, the Demo.
