All About a Dog.

Two boys named Frank and Edward
Themes were brought before the municipal
court yesterday morning for assault and bat
terry on Horace E. Gould. The Themes boys
owned dog about which there was consid.
cradle trouble with Gould. A quarrel
about the dog brought on a squabble be-
tween Gould and Frank Themes, and after
its close Edward Themes threw a stone al
Gould hitting him in the forehead and fel.
ling him senseless to the ground.
The judge in summing up the case de-
clared that had the stone thrown by Edward
struck the temple few inches from the
mark yet visible on Gould's forehead the boy
would have now been on trial for murder.
He felt that the offence was a very serious
one, and ordered Edward to recognize in
$500 for his appearance before the January
term of the Superior court, to answer to any
accusation brought against him by the grand
jury. Bail was furnished. Frank paid q
fine of s. and one-half costs. Assistant

and no doubt many Of the members admired
the nimble wit that could say so bright a

or not, did more than "get off" a good pun !;
he stated solemn fact A new holiday
would be bore. In fact. those we have al

many people. To busy men who have wives

they hardly know their own children when

sr, LOUIS, May l7,-A rumor gained
currency to-day that DR.. Cronin was
seen in St. Louis last night, Two gen
tlemen who know Dr., Cronin well say
they saw him issue from q building on
Tenth and Franklin streets and enter a
carriage. To add plausibility to the ru.
NOR 1t Is known that two Chicago re.
porters and two detectives OF that city
are IN St, Louis and avoid saying why
they are here. It is believed that they
have information OF such character as
TO lead them to believe that DR.. Cronin
is in this city, and that they are here to
unravel the mystery.
The mystery Of the disappearance OF
DR.. Cronin, OF Chicago, deenens rather

PlTTsPuRou, May IA notice will
be posted at Carnegie's Homestead steel

sigued for three years, and after that
either party can withdraw from It upon
giving six months notice. The new
scale made up Is on the basis Of S27 30

mum at $25. 1t will DO reduction
averaging twenty per cent, and will fall
most heavily upon the higher priced
men, WHO will be cut in some instances
from fifty 10 sixty per cent.
The new scale is similar 10 the one in
operation at the Edgar Thomson plant
of the same firm, with the exception that
the scale will be based on the blooms
instead Of rails. The new scale will be
in the nature Of a surprise to tho work.

an advance averaging esA per cent will

occur. They claim that tho wages 81.

LONDON, May l7,-General BoulaR-
ger ia credited with preparing new
surprise for the world, According to
good authority, he now intends, since
the Senate is likely to abandon isprose-
cution, to return to Paris,
The report says that his followers have
been communicated with, and the most
elaborate preparations are making for
his triumphal return 10 the French
Capital, The General is disguised at
his treatment in London, and has de-
clared to q friend that he would rather
trust to the tender mercies OF his own
nation and the defense OF his friends
than to longer trespass on the cool cour-
tesy OF the English, with whom he has
gained neither fame nor position.
The General complains especially OF
his treatment by the newspapers, many
Of which have derided him, It is ow.
ing, no doubt, for the most part, to the
papers that Boulanger has been praCti-
cally boyCotted in England. He COM
menCed his London career more like n
Snowman than a statesman, and had
selected as his companions q certain
class OF public men"who are not usually
as the aides.de.camp Of society.
