But it is not alone in numbers that the great
increase Of advertising is shown. The larger
space required for advertisements during tho
year 1889 as compared with that occupied il
1888 is even more striking.
The average daily space filed by advertise
ments in 1888 was rs. 10 columns, or 7779 columns
for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily
average was 1916 columns, or gas columns in
the aggregate, being total gain over the pre-
vious year of 444 columns, And this, il u.ass
be remembered, consisted exclusively Of the
ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing
in the way Of tax sales, poll lsts election returns,
ETC., such as occasionally swell the business Of
political organs, being included in Its patron
age.
In conclusion, Il il only necessary TO say that

other rubbish that has been accommodating

dog, let alone n half dozen
or more. In the matter of supplying the
poor brutes with water tho same cruel
Indifference Is also shown them.
To-day q STANDARD reporter visited the
pound and found IL filled with starved,
frantic animals whose wild eyes and
lolling tongues bespoke the torture they
had succumbed 10 the cruelty OF its treat
ment and was lying dead on the old stove,
while the others were swapping and
snarling and vainly~ endeavoring 10 escape
from their prison. Although careful
search was made not a drop
in the hole, Notwithstanding the day was
intensely hot and the poo animals wild
with thirst. To nave broken open the
gate and liberated them would have been
a violation of the ordinance, but an act of
kindness and humanity. IL the city in
sists OF having a dog pound IL should also
insist that all dogs i%mpounded are treated
with some degree of humanity.
