H. T. Jaeger has a valuable field spaniel
which has evinced very peculiar trait.
At intervals Mr.. Jaeger has missed him
for half day at time, but he always re-
turned about meal time until one day last
week, when he failed to put in an appear
ance for two days. Thinking him lost,
Mr.. Jaeger inserted an advertisement in
the HerGld'S want column, with the re-
suit that the dog was returned the next by
a man who had discovered the reason for
the canine's frequent absences. He had
developed a mania for riding on street
cars.
His owner had often noticed that when
he started from home the dog would al
ways be in the car first, but never imag-
ined that he would board one alone. En-
quiry of the drivers elected the fact that
he was frequent passenger, unaccom-
panied by his master or members of his
family. His favorite position was with
his paws on the window sill, like child,
it was proven that he had boarded Mon
roe avenue car at Union street, ridden as
far as the -four corners where he
changed to Lake avenue car, was elected
by the driver at Driving Park avenue for
not paying his fare, was found later under
the seat by the same driver and again put
off, when he was picked up and returned
to his owner as above described. For
riding on street cars the dog is said to be
a perfect crank. but is otherwise very in
telligent.
Mr.. Jaeger proposes to get q season
ticket and attach it to his collar unless
he can be induced to give up his extrava-

The Roman Girl and Her Doll.

In May last the werkmen who were
digging the foundation for the new law
courts in Rome discovered a sarcophagus
buried thirty feet below the surface.
Immediately the telephone called to the
spot the members of the Archaeological
commission, scientific and literary men
who watch with jealous care all the exea-
vations made in the Eternal City. Under
their direction it was carefully raised and
opened.
Within lay the skeleton of a young girl
with the remains of the linen in which
she had been wrapped, some brown leaves
from the myrtle wreath with which, en-
blematic of her youth, she had been
crowned in death.
On her hand were four rings, of which
one was the double betrothal ring of
plain gold, and another with Filetus, the
name of the betrothed, engraved upon 1t.
A large and most exquisite amethyst
brooch, in Etruscan setting of the finest
work. carved amber pins, and gold
necklet with white small pendants were
lying about.
But what is most strange, as being al
most unique, was doll of oak wood,
beautifully carved, the joints artieulated
so that legs and arms and hands move on
sockets, the hands and feet daintily cut
with small and delicate nails. The fea-
lures and the hair were carved out in the
most minute and careful way, the hair
waving low on the forehead and being
bound with fillet.
On the outside of the sarcophagus was
sculptured her name Tryphpna Creperia,
and touching scene, doubtless faith
fully representing her parting with her
parents.
She is lying on a low bed and striving
to raise herself on her left arm to speak
to her heartbroken father, who stands
leaning on her bedstead, his mead bowed
with grief, while her mother sits on the
bed, her head covered, weeping.
1t seems but yesterday, so natural is the
scene; and yet it was nearly eighteen CEN
turies ago that these stricken parents laid
so tenderly away their dearly beloved
daughter with her ornaments and her
doll-Y0attI'S Conlpdni0n.

Early this morning Bloomfield avenue
horse car going up Broad street ran over
and badly mangled dirty yellow cur at
a point in the street just above Market
street. The car passed on and the injured
dog lay yelping on the rails and wrlthlng
in pain. Inside of a minute q big coach
dog, q handsome Merchandising ana q
fiery little Spitz went rushing pell nell to
the scene. When they saw the suffering
of the cur they seemed to be overwhelmed
with sympathy. Two of them began to
lick the mangled limbs and back or the
fallen animal, and the third stood look
ing on with sympathy expressed IN It's
attitude and face. Pretty soon announcer
car came rolling up Broad street. Inc
wounded dog still lay on the rails.
The three sympathetic dogs planted
themselves squarely between the track,
as though to protect the cur from further
injury. The car rolled on, nearer and
nearer, but they did not bulge Several
spectators gathered to see the outcome OF
the scene. The driver stopped the car,
got off the platform and pulled the ,yeip,,
ing dog from the tracks The injured
beast whined few times more and then
Strengthened out and died. The other
three dogs held brief autopsy and then
walked slowly and soberly away, as
though they were going to funeral

INFERIOR LUMBER

Used at she New Almshouse-Has She Work Been Done According To Con- tracsf-Doings of she Hoard or se- lectmen.
 The board of selectmen last evening gave the contract for the work of enrolling the persons liable to do military duty in the town and of indexing and compiling the same for the year ensuing to Frank M. Love- joy. He will receive seven hundred dollars for the work. The committee on almshouse will attend to the buying of gas fixtures for the new almshouse.
 To astatement made by Selectman Klenke to the effect that the town agent used more money in his investig igations than he distribu. ted la aid to the needy, who applied at the office, that official replied that he did not care If 1t cost three times as much he should investigate each case before giving and would continue to do SO as long as he remained in office.
 A large amount of routine business was transacted, chiefly with reference to furnish. ing the new almshouse. The board voted to purchase 900 small washstsnds, 100 Boston rockers and 150 ordinary wooden chairs. 1105, 900 have already been expended on the new almshouse. Selectman Cooper express ed the opinion that some of the lumber put into the building is not what the contract called for. On motion of Colonel Wbite it was voted that the architect of the new building be required = furnish the board a copy of the specifications that 1t may de. termins whether the work has been done ace cording to contract or not.

Amusement company. has been in New York TOT two days and had not returned at late hour last evening. His business is mys- tery.
 Yesterdays New York Sun said that New miras as catchsr othar aha,aas in the team are rumored. It is doubtful if Pitz will be any addition to the team,
 The directors of the Amusement Company have been releasing and signing men of late apparently using only their own judgment in so doing. The board is made up largely of amateur ball magnates and the wisdom of all their actions is not apparent. Another good pitcher is needed, yet they are signing catch CTS. Sanborn was signed sometime since by one of the directors, but as he is not used at all the reason for carrying him is not appar- ent to the uninitiated. The team cannot play good ball as long as it stands in con stant fear of being pulled to pieces. Get another good pitcher and see the boys win.
