The Snperabnndance of dogs
both agreat and small that psram
bulates our streets makes us think
that some modern nimrod habitu-
ates hereaboHts or some circus had
busted in It's board bill in town.
There is one happy alittle dog
among them and that is owned by
Miss Florence Gilmore and his
name is aGov. Golf. 2 1t is strange
that the course of certain Demo
Gratis has resulted in communicating
happiness even to the feline species.
Prof Hurlburt's troupe of Horses
and Dogs are trained to high de-
gree of proficiency in drills, marches
aud other interesting performances:
The horses are handsome, thorough
bred animals: The coal black horse
Crotcn Prince is probably the most
intelligent and best trained equine
ever seen here. He seems to un-
derstand INSTRUMENTATION addressed
to him by the Professor, answering
questions by nodding and shaking
his head. He also indicated tffs
left and right side by turning his
head III either direction. One of the
best acts done by this wonderful
horse was in this wise: Prof. Hurl-
burt tied his handkerchief around the
left fore and hind legs of the animal
and he united it with ease. The
horse then hung the handkerchief on
a rope that is stretched across the
stage. "Now you won't forget
where you left the hankerchieg, will
you?" asked the Professor. The
horse shook his head-meaning no.
The performance went ON for some
time, when the Professor ,Tanted
his handkerchief to wipe the horses
nose and mouth. He began to
search his pockets for it without
success, and while he was thus en-
gagged, Crown Prince went to the
line, took the handkerchief off and
carried it to hismaster. His troupe
of Dogs did excellent work in the
way Of riding horses, leaping, etc.
His two Clown Dogs are very fun
ny and keep the audience in an al
most constant roar of laughter.-N.

PHILADELPHIA, December 2-Chris.
Kleinz, the fourteen year-old son Of To-
cal hotel keeper, whose body was increas-
ed to twice its natural size, as result Of
over-indulgence in cigarettes, and whose
recovery was for many days considered
impossible, is slowly improving, although
it is thought that his physical system will
be permanently wrecked. He had been
in the habit of smoking ten to thirty
cigarettes daily since his tenth year, and
before his present illness had been sub
ject to fits as a result of his over-indul.
gence in the penicious habit.

THE MERCHANT MARINE.
There is nothing more Justly humiliat-
ing to the national pride and nothing more
hurtful to the national prosperity than
our merchant marine compared with
that of other nations whose general re-
sources, wealth and sea coast lines do not
suggest any reason for their supremacy
on the seas. 1t was not always so, and
our people are agreed, l think, that it
shall not continue to be so. 1t is not pos
sible in this communication TO discuss the
causes OF the decay of our shipping inter
ests or the differing methods by which it
is proposed to restore them. The state
menf OF few authentic facts and
some general suggestions as to legisla-
ton Is all that is practicable. That
the great steamship lines sailing under
the flags of England, France, Germany,
Spain and Italy, engaged in foreign COM
merce were promoted, and have since
been and now are literally aided by grants
OF public money in one form or another,
Is generally known; that the American
lines of steamships have been abandoned
by us to an unequal contest with the aid
ed lines OF other nations, until they have
been withdrawn, or IN the few cases
where they are still maintained are sub
lect to serious disadvantage, Is matter OF
common knowledge. The present situa-
ton Is such that travellers and merchan-
disc find Liverpool often a necessary in
termediate port between New York
and some of the South American capitals.
The fact that some of the delegates from
the South American States, the confer
ence OF American nations, now in session
at Washington. reached our shores by re-
versing that line OF travel Is very conclu-
slve OF the need OF such a conference and
very suggestive as to the first and Most
necessary step in the direction of fuller
and more beneficial intercourse with ma
tions that are now our neighbors, not upon
the lines OF latitude, but upon the lines OF
established commercial intercourse.
/ recommend that such appropriations
be made for ocean mail service in Amer
ican steamships between our ports and
those of Central and South America,
China, Japan and the important Islands
in both of the great oceans as
will be literally remunerated Tor
the service rendered as VIII encour-
age the establishment and in some
fair degree equalize the chances of Amer
lean steam ship lines in the competitions

NEW YORK, December 2.-The Olsen
mentioned in the Minneapolis fire report
as among the lost is Edward Olsen, Phi
ID. He was about 40 years old, a gradu-
ate of Chicago University, and for some
years was professor of Greek in that in
stitution. He was a man of large culture
spoke several languages fiuently, had
travelled extensively in Europe, and
was among the best known Of
the younger educators of tho
country. About two and a half years
ago he was called to the presidency of the
University of Dakota, founded by the ter
ritorial government. Under his efficient
management the institution grew rapidly
and at the time of his death there were
over 300 students in the institution, and
the present faculty numbered about
twenty professors and teachers.

Chief of Polics Hubbard's Testimony Did
 Not Create n Sensation.
 CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Chief of Police Hubbard's appearance on the stand in the Cronin trial caused ripple of ex- citemont, it having been understood that he would have something sensa- tional to reveal.
 He was first asked about the custody of the trunk since it was given to the coroner. He said it had been in his sole care until delivered to the States Attorney. This was also true regard ing the lock and key. He identified Suspect Burke as tho Burke he had first seen in the Winnipeg jail, and the di- rect examination ended, much to the disappointment of the spectat tors. At torney Wing tried to bring out what the Chief knew about his cllent Cough lin, but the judge refused to permit him, as Coughlin had not been men toned in the direct examination.
 Milkman Mortes testified how on the morning of May 1 he saw two men enter the Carlson cottage, after alight- ing from buggy. He described the men and the horse. He identified hunze as the man who drove the wagon and CougAlin as the man who came out of tho cottage and got into the wagon just before it left the neighborhood.

ASHTON NOT IN IT
The Providence Boy Put to Sleep by Godfrey.
FOURTEEN ROUNDS FOUGHT.
Tho Oolored Pugilist Surprises Everybody
 by His Scientific Bushes.

Jsre Dunn Was Referee Providen

 Townsman-Ashton Fought Gamely but
 Was Overmntched -- Godfrey Immedi-
 stely Challenged by Joe Lannon.
 BosToN, Nov S.-At the Parnell Athletic Club rooms last night Jack Ashton, of Providence, and George God frey, the colored heavy weight pugilist of Boston, faced each other for fourteen raunds, the contest resulting in a knock out for Godfrey.
 Ashton was seconded by Billy Mad den and Steve McMaugh. Godfrey's seconds were Frank Steel and Frank Carroll, with Jere Dunn, of New York, referee.
 Providence sporting mon ,wagered their money freely on Ashton at odds of $1oo to $50, and the result of the con test was big surprise to them as well as to everybody else.
 Tho man were in good condition. After the first round Godfrey stock rose rap idly, and it became painfully evident 1 that Ashton was overmatched. Godfrey | got in a terrible right-hand blow on Ashton's cheek-bone in tho first round which seemed to daZe the latter, and he did not appear to recover from its effect during the whole contest. In fact, after | the first round, Ashton was practically l out of the fight. In the second round Godfrey planted another blow over .Ashton's left eye, while Ashton tried to return the compliment. In the third round Ashton rushed the fighting, but l Godfrey parried his body blows and re- peatedly landed on Ashton's faco.
 In the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds Ashton was kept busy defending him. self from Godfrey's slcdge- hammer blows, which sought Ashton's face and neck with telling effect. Jacks blows seemed to annoy Godfrey but little. ter's stomach, although Godfrey re- | ceived one stinger between the eyes in | tho sixth.
 In the seventh Ashton was caught with heavy left hander on the right jaw and went to the floor. From the eighth to the thirteenth round Godfrey led a, all points, clearly showing his raiHcd upon Ashton's face, and moan r,!Ii!, .>s. ton kept continually raising , h., . bow and his knee to ward them off. i Ashton was unable to get in but three ;rlting blows upon Godfrey during the
 nitro contest. In the fourteenth round >ehton came up pluckily, but appa- entity ,:a.>l, and his blows went wide ceeded ill landing powerful blow un- | dor Ashton s left jaw that brought him

 Ashton made game fight through. out and showed considerable science,
 but he was clearly no match for God
 frey who finished in excellent form and | showed scarcely scratch. By the
 terms Of tho match Godfrey receives a cup valued at $1, 0Oo and Ashton $2OO.
 At the conclusion of the contest God frey was challenged by Joe Lannon,

 MOTHER Surely, now you arouse my interest. Chances on such fine instru- ments are not offered every day. Of course we will take some tickets.

 Tariff Reform Was the Cause of the
 Democratic Success.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Grover Cleve- land and Benjamin Harrison shook hands at the Executive Mansion and said any number of polite things to each other.
 The exPresident and Mrs. Cleveland after leaving the Clymer residence, where they had witnessed the marriage of ex-Secretary Bayard and Miss Cly- mer, were driven to the White House. Mrs. Cleveland did not leave the car riage, but left her card for Mrs. Har- rison, who is visiting Mrs. Wannama- ker in Philadelphia. She was driven away and sent the carriage back again for Mir. Cleveland.
 As the President entered the green room his predecessor arose and grasped simultaneously. Then they sat down and talked about general topics for half an hour.
 He must have had a very pleasant time with his successor, for when he came out his face was wreathed with smiles, and he chuckled merrily when he said "goodby." President Harrison accompanied him only to the jeweled glass screen which shuts the public out of the main corridor, and then left him standing in the vestibule chatting fol two minutes with Doorkeeper Loeffler Others of the old employees were COT.
