-----
Manager Lewis Position.
L. L. Lewis, President and Man
ager Of the Central Street Railway Com
pany, yesterday said to RECORD UNION
reporter:
''This Sixth and P-street line is no new
project with me. / have looked this
ground over for the last three years.
My first choice was Seventh street to r,
then Sixth, or Eighth or Ninth. There
is not much choice, but l think Sixth
will accommodate the greatest number of
people.
Third street and there was a lecture at
either Of the Sixth-street churches.
Would the people walk to Third street
and take the cars? You know they
would not; but if the cars were there in
front of the door the people would ride,
and they would ride TO the churches and
halls.
''We are not going to build this road
tor the benefit Of any particular person or
property, but to accommodate the largest
number in the best manner. Besides,
Mr.. Carey has a franchise on Second or
Third, and we do not wish to go so near
him that his road would not pay to run.
That would be doing the city an injury
instead of making an Improvement. The
city wants all the street railways it can
get. We have no franchises that we DO
not operate and we do not want any.
while there has been a good deal of
talk about Third and Second and Fourth
streets, we are not applying for fran
chiSe on any of those streets, and we be-
lieve that the Trustees will consider the
interests Of the whole city and will grant
US the franchise asked for on Monday"
Mr.. Carcy's Franchise.
1t was stated on the street last night
that Mr.. Carey not only did not propose
to give up his franchise on Third street,
but would this morning apply to the
Trustees for permission to use the over
head electric system on all his lines. y

CANINE AFFECTION.

some Observations on Mans Unselish
Friend.
It has often been mooted as vexed
question why all men of genius or
greatness are SO fond of dogs. The
reason is not far to seek. Those who
are great or eminent ip any way find
the world full of parasites. toadies,
liars, fawners, hypocrites; the incor-
ruptible candor, loyalty, and honor OF
the dog are to such like water in q
barren place to the thirsty traveller
The sympathy of your dog is unfailine
and unobtrusive. If you are sad, so is
he; and if you are merry, none is SC
willing to leap and laugh with you as
he. For your dog you are never poor:
for your dog you are never old; whether
you are in palace or cottage he does
not care; and fall you as low as you
may, you are his providence and his
idol still. The attachment of the dog to
man outweighs and almost obliterates
attachment in him to his own race
There is something shocking to
our high opinion of him in the
callousness with which he will
sniff at the stiff body Of brother-dog;
he will follow his master to the grave,
and sometimes die on it; but the loss OF
his own kind leaves him unmoved.
never knew more than one exception to
this; it was, however, a noteworthy
one. l had two puppies of the Molus-
sus, commonly called the Maremma
breed; large, white, very beautiful dogs,
with long hair. varying in size between
Newfoundland and collie; the old Greek
race of watch-dogs, TO which, quite GER
tainly, Argos belonged. These puppies,
named Pan and Paris, lived together;
fed, played and slept together, and
were never separated for moment for
seven months In the seventh month
Paris fell i'll of distemper and died
Now, by my own observation can de-
clare that Pan nursed his brother as
assiduously as any boy could have
nursed another; licked him, cleaned
him, brought him tempting bits to eat;
did all that he could think of, and when
his brother at last lay there cold and
unresponsive to his efforts, his grief
and astonishment were painful to see.
From that time he ceased to play; from
rclng very lively dog he grew grave
and sad; he had wistful. wondering
inquiry in his eyes which it was pathetic
to behold; and although he lived for
many years after, and was happy as q
dog can be, he never recovered his
spirits: he had buried his mirth in the
grave of Paris. Something was lost
for him with his brother which he
never regained. This is the only in
stance have known Of dogs love for
another og.-Quids, in North Ameri-

A FLouRY CLOUD.

A Five Year-Oid's Distressing Adventure
ON q Hot Day.
A fiour-besprinxled battalion of small
boys moved along the Western boule-
ward, near Ninety-second street, yester.
day afternoon. Every face was a study;
sadness, anxiety and -four contributed
to the expressions. They moved slow
~ because in advance of them was a
forerunner He was diminutive speci-
men of humanity, and he was spotless-
Iy white from his little hat crown to
the toes of his sturdy shoes. The tears
were flowing over his cheeks, and from
his lips poured volume of sound.
The unfortunate 5-year-old had been
sent to the corner grocery for -four and
had dropped the parcel. He had tried
to pick it up and it had emptied itself
over him. His vociferous demonstra-
tions of grief brought fock of diminu-
tive friends. They appreciated the
gravity of the situation.
They scooped up as much as their
grimy little hands would hold The
5-year-old looked on for minute hope
fully. Flour never looked SO white to
him before and he had no idea there
was so much -four in the world. The
four pounds spread about a good bit.
There were six friends, and they
couldn't begin to lift it all with their
twelve small, black paws. The baby
brain grasped the truth. The 5-year-old
renewed his walls and directed his
erring and fiour-tipped toes toward
home.
AS he announced his distress he drew
interested spectators all along the line.
But the 5-year-old was philosophic. 1t
was not alone or chiefly the loss of the
flour that troubled him; it was his own
undignified situation.
.sMamma-dear," he walled, please

water some cold = water,
--then--they 'll-be--all right
Just-rub 'em hard-and please-to-
excuse me;-I'm so sorry" Sob-sob--
sob.
Then the body guard arrived. Each
pair of hands deposited its share of
the scattered fiour-like trophies ut the
mothers feet. They had done what
they could, and every four-smeared
face was turned to hers for the verdict.
Then every body laughed. Every body
brushed everybody else, and in spite of
the heat it was pleasant day.-N. Y.
