II the tariff is to be credited with
all the good things that have happen
ed since 1856, it should also bear the
responsibility of the ills of the same
period. In 1857 the eight big sheep
raising States of the North and West
had 2s,s97,222 sheep; and in 1887
the same States had only 12,s5O,563.
These figures show decrease of IT,
OOO,O00 of sheep since the tariff went
into operation. What have the tariff
men 10 say to the deduction that
naturally comes from these figures ?

In his book on "Alcohol Inside
Out, DR.. Elisha Chenery reaches two
conclusions. The first is that medi-
cal men are ceasing to trust alcohol
as an aid in the treatment of disease;
the second is that science to-day is
demonstrating that alcohol is not to
be trusted, or, rather, that better
agent is at hand to take its place.

There was a lively dog fight Saturday
morning at a point between Golfers,
Hancock county, this State, and Paris
Roads, In Pennsylvania, about on the
line dividing the two States, between
two dogs from Pittsburgh named "Pad.
dy" and "Tiger," both 30.pounders. The
fight, which was won by the latter, was
witnessed by about one hundred from
Pittsburgh, and q few from the vicinity
OF the place where the fight took place,
who were attracted by the crowd.
It was a remarkable contest. The
dogs were lot 20 at 10:40 and they fought
until 1910 without either turning their
head. Paddy fought for the legs and
Tiger for the nose and jaw. For an
hour and a half Paddy had the best Of
II, but then Tigers superior condition
began to tell and he showed front, and
the East End men who owned Paddy,
In order TO save hin, gave up the fight
and took him out OF the pit. He was so
badly hurt, however, that he will proba.
bly, die. There was big money bet on
the fight.
Paddy was but 20 months old and this
was his frst 90. In his trials he had
shown himself to be . good punisher.
Tiger 10 four years old and has been
owned by some South Side puddlers
over since he was brought TO Pittsburgh
from Cincinnati. His sire Paddy was

An Intelligent Conductor.


ApWt AfAlVVV VI lHs AWttAN'UtHtNFt
SHIT is very a%ggravating, though
often times quite amusing, to see with
what Consummate skill an employee OF
some company or corporation, who Is
supposed 10 be n servant Of the public,
discharges the duties Of the Office or no.
sition 10 which he has been newly ele-
waited.
Anyone unfortunate enough TO have
been q passenger on n OF the motors
on the Wheeling and Benwood line,
Saturday noon, would not doubt the
truth Of this statement.
1t happened that q derailed car had
caused the suspension oil travel on the
lower end ofthe line. Several BOnwood
passengers being unaware Of that fact
boarded a down car at Forty.Elrst street,
paid their fares and were happy in the
contemplation OF the great convenience
they were enjoying and the prospects Of
being carried SO rapidlyand cheaply into
the heart Of their city.
The car proceeded four squares and
stopped; the operator reversed the mt.
tor and the car movedslowly backwards,
but as queer things often happen, espe.
Cially on new roads, tho passengers were
not greatly exercised over the change OF
direction, as they thought the conductor
would certainly have sense enough To
warn them II 1t were anything more
than a little scientific maneuver that
would DO all right In the end.
The car went back Just five squares To
the turn table, turned and started up
the street, while all this time the stately
form OF the taciturn conductor was
wrapped in golden silence. But the
passengers by this time were not 60
much prejudiCed in favor Of silence as
was the profound conductor, and they
made some Inquiries, whereupon the
urhane official v~ouChsaied an explaua.
ton. All he could say when asked why
he had not told the passengers before
running the car back was that he was
not responsible, Tho passengers
thought 90, too, and hoped the company
would find II out,
One man had paid his fare, ridden
down three squares and WIS hauled back
five, and was compelled to ask the con.
duCtor 10 excuse him, as he had 10 20
home. He also thanked him for the
two extra squares he had 80 kindly
added TO his walk homo.
That such "lreaksN are not only al.
lowed 10 run at large, but also 10 run
a street car, Is positive proof that dino
museum attractions are no longer appre.
ciated. AVICTlM,
