The Humane Society.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
1t is a sure sign that the civilization of city
Is keeping pace with its material growth when
the people take pride in generously supporting
Institutions for the care Of the weak and help
less. and foremost among good works is the
rescuing of helpless children from neglect and
abuse and the RELIEF Of orr patient friends, the
animals. from unnecessary burdens. In New
York. Boston and Chicago, indeed in all our
large cities, the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals Is power. while
people who come to Washington to spend
the winter are constantly distressed by the bad
treatment horses receive in the streets, and are
surprised that the Humane Society is restricted
in its efforts by lack of support and SYM
pathy. With an approving public sentiment
and generous support Of this society in its eff
forts TO ameliorate the condition of animals in
the suppression of all unnecessary suffering.
and to provide for the permanent lettering of
their condition by lnstItuting system OF
humane teaching in the public school, a great
advance in moral progress would be made, and
q step taken toward the kingdom in which
goodness and mercy" go hand in hand.
The attention of the public is invited to the
meeting appointed for tomorrow evening at
of the Humane Society, which will be addressed
by several eloquent speakers especially inter-
ested in the reforms IL represents. The meet
ing will be presided over by Commissioner
Douglass. The interesting program in
cludes addresses by Representative Breckin-
ridge of Kentucky and Representative Green
halge Of Massachusetts, and the Rev. DIR. Ship
pen. pastor OF AL Souls Church, and some ex-
cellent music. The regular evening contribu-
81 the church trustees to the aid Of the society.

that given at the former hearing. He said

nation: Witness Bradley N.G. Noile pros THIS

CLAW Didn't Wait.

To the FdIt,r of The EVENING STAR:
An article in Thursdays STAR says that Henry
Clay twas elected Senator when he was only
twenty-nine years old, and he had to wait until
he thirty before he took his seat" Mr..
Clay was born April II, 1777, and the Senate
journal shows that on December 20, 1906, he
took his seat in the Senate" Hence he did
not wait until he was thirty. Tradition says
that on his admission he was asked II he was OF
the constitutional age and he replied: go and
ask my constituents" There is no record Of
this in the journal nor in the annals.

When DR.. Gallinger was a member of Con-

more friends among the printers than any
other man IN public life. The doctor has been
here for the past few days and on Thursday
night about forty followers of Faust and Gut
tenberg called on him in his room at the
National Hotel to formally give utterance to
their appreciation OF their champion. There
were few neat speeches. several specimens of
vOcalization and generally good time When
the company said goodbye" the Doctor
apartments were beautihed and made fragrant
by magnificent floral horse shoe and a horn
OF plenty-tOkens Of affection
DIR. Gallinger has forsaken the practice Of
medicine and is out OF politics for the present.
He Is president Of big eastern syndicate that
l. at work building and booming a new city in
Tennessee He leaves New Hampshire for his
