Tho BulI-Terrier.

THE bull-terrier is capital watch
dog" said prominent dog fancier of
New York to New York Sun reporter.
HE never barks, because he feels that he
can deal unaided with any burglar, and
in nine cases out of ten he Is right. 1t
Is all tooth with him, and robbcr
rarely knows that he Is present until he
feels him. But In this line of business
he Is not favorite with refined people.
You see, there are no bounds to the
ferocity of bull-terrier when he is once
aroused, and the lifeless body Of rob
ber is an unpleasant thing for the
servants to find on a kitchen floor when
they get up In the morning. | once
sold good bull terrier to the widow of
clergyman. She lived in u lonely
house in Westchester County, and be,
fore she had owned the dog a
week burglar climbed through
the basement window. He saw the
terrier in the dining-room and man
aged to Chamber up on the high man,
tel-piece. II was a bitterly cod night
in midwinter and he clung there shiy-
ering for several hours. while the dog
hungrily licked his jaws underneath.
The lady kept no servant, and when
she entered the room In the morning
she was at first terribly frightened, but
the fellow told such a pitiful story of
his suffer'ngs that she was moved to
compassion. She gave him Sc and a
good breakfast and allowed him to go
away. Then she sent the dog back TO
me, advising me to shoot him, as such
a savage, remorseless brute was clearly

Our TaiIori
Why shoYEAN THE CELLARS.

huin-N
The cellars of much of the business
portion Of Washington as well as a
limited residence district are filed with
muddy water. This water will not re-
tire Of its own impulse with the falling
OF the river Hundreds of cellars were
filled by the overflow through the
streets and not by backwater from the
sewers, and the water in them must be
pumped or bailed out, This work
should not be neglected for a single
day.
The hot season Is close upon us and
unless regard is shown for sanitary
laws. Washington may suffer. There
is possible pestilence in the contents of
the cellars and the danger should be
reduced TO minimum. Where the
occupants of. buildings do not them
selves realize the danger, and show
proper energy, the authorities should at
once apply the needed spur. Washing
ton has already had enough malaria for
1889.
Clean the cellars
The Washington critic., 1889-06-03

BY that we mean every short-p ant,
two-piece suit from $3.50 to IS has
been reduced to Sal Not some. but
EVERY ONE. There are some $S
ones and some three piece ones--but
from 81. so to IS EVERY ONE.
Not the rakings and scrapings from
everywhere, but weather delayed"
stock that ought to be in your service
doing duty instead of on our coun-
ters, so we're trying the reduction
plan. AS soon as they catch your eye
you'll see they are in weight and COLI
oring essentially suits for NOW.
That makes the bargain double bar-
gain. Sizes from A TO "A years. Sev-
enty-five different styles strong, and
FIVE days left to buy them ln--until
Saturday night.

NO NEED FOR IMMIaRArIoN.

What the importation of cheap labor
from the lower classes Of Europe
means has been illustrated In the sequel
TO the great Johnstown disaster.
Groups Of Hungarian laborers have, II
Is reported been discovered robbing
the dead, mutilating their ears aud
myers TO recover jewelry. Swift retri-
button has been inflicted in q few cases,
but In nine cases out Of ten, no doubt,
The ghouls have escaped all punish

presence in this country has been
invited of late years by greedy employ.

THE JoHNsrowN HORROR.

The news from Pennsylvania is still
Incomplete regarding the extent of loss
of life at Johnstown and in the i'm
mediate region. That thousands have
perished, that the disaster is the great
est Of its. kind in the history Of the
country does not seem to admit of
doubt Days may pass before the full
extent of the horror is appreciated. Re-
newed telegraphic facilities, but result
, in additions TO the list of casualties
rather than, as at first hoped, in reduc-
ing II. Though the first wild reports Of
10000 OF $4,000 deaths have been
proved wrong, yet that thousands have
been drowned is assured and the shocking
details which are obtainable add to the
CHASTITY effect of the story of the floods
The first thing to be considered
everywhere is what can be done for the
survivors in the stricken region. They
are homeless and penniless. The ap
palling extent of the calamity which
has befallen them should have the eff
feet Of inducing prompt action every
where. Washington, where the loss by
food has also been heavy, and where,
fortunately. there has been no loss Of
life, should not be unsympathetic in
,nlre emergency. Relatively, the suffer
" ', lg in this city is nothing. Such con-
= rcn;oi ,recnn;1oiions as can be afforded for suffer.
The pcrniahJohnstown region should be
nn- rniInrilCe.

ers and as greedy immigration agents
Are they needed here? Is there any
necessity for thcirpresenoe Certainly
not They but enrich the few
while their presence is n
menace to the many. Have we not
about enough of Europe's scumY We
have no more land than we need for
our own children and grandchildren.
Immigration is not thing to be en-
couragcd. We want no bastard race
formed here. We are Anglo Saxon.
The Washington critic., 1889-06-03

TmE Posts relief fund, in aid of the
JohnstOwn sufferers, affords means
by which the generously disposed may
contribute TO the relief of the sufferers
in Pennsylvania. II is commendable
thing and affords practical machinery
for doing direct good to those who are
now in need and enduring in a way
compared with which physical suffering
is belittled. Let the aid which Wash.
ington gives the victims OF the great
flood go through this channel.
The Washington critic., 1889-06-03
EngIish Art Critics Amazed.

Queen Nietoria's selection OF the sculptor
Boehm for a baronetcy sends cold chill of
rage through the whole English art world.
There are numerous foreign-born artists in
England, like Alma Tadema, whom Eng
lishmen cordially like and would delight In
seeing selected for marks of distinction, but

he has subordinnted his own tolerable
knowledge of art to the manufacture of
monstrosities which should please the
Queen is common subject OF angry com,

An old couple living in Gloucester,
Had a beautiful girl, but they loucester;
She fell from a yacht,
And never the spacht

An old lady living In Worcester,

THE FLOOD.
Say, Greedy, look around and see,

And tell us II you're glad to see,

Yesterday was great day for q Baptist

There are ferry many ways of getting

The Washington critic., 1889-06-03

Some anxiety has been felt for two
days about the safety of Frank Hatton,
the editor of the Post, who was a pas
senger on the Chicago limited express
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The
minds of his friends were somewhat re.
lieyed yesterday by the announcement
made by the railroad company that the
train was safe at EbensbuIg.
The Washington critic., 1889-06-03

CONGRESSIONAL economy has received a
setback by the foods effect on the Po-
tomac Flat improvements. Congress, in
its mean, miserly, pinching, poverty
stricken manner of appropriating in dribs
for that work, has been caught with 1t in
such shape that thousands Of dollars have
been literally swept away and all the work
will have to be done over again. 1t is only
another case Of trying to save at the spigot
while the bung hole is left open.
The Washington critic., 1889-06-03

ACCORDING to Senator German, the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has ended it's
existence iu the food, and It will no longer
be medium Of communication and trans
portatlon. The eanal-day has about reached
It's end anyway, but the G. & o. Canal has
been source Of business to Georgetown,
and large quantities Of Cumberland coal
have been brought down 1t to the yards in
that part OF the town and from there ships
have carried IL to all points. 1t has been a
feeder to the greatest industry of the town,
and just what the result Of it's destruction
will be cannot yet be determined. A rail-
road along the bed Of the canal will, no
doubt, be one Of the results OF the food.
