Bernhardt's Dogs.

The lovers of dramatic art in Austra- lia who are anxiously anticipating Sara Bernhardt's visit thither do not know how narrowly they missed being wofully disappointed, and all because of Sara's dogs and the Australian laws against the same. That is to say, the colonies are not warning against the divine Sara's pets in particular, but they have stringent dog laws down there, and everything of canine kind that is imported has to go into quaran- tine for three months. They take no chances on hydrophobia in Australia.
 Mime. Bernhardt had not anticipated this, and when she was told a day or two ago it was all her managers could do to prevent her packing up instantly and boiling back to Paris, dogs and all, most indignant woman
 ''Keep my dogs for three months?" she exclaimed tragically. 'tNevaire!"
 Finally it was suggested that the case was not hopeless, if she were will ing to be at little extra expense.
 ''Money" she cried. ''How can you mention it2 Anything! Everything! But save my dogs"
 So a cablegram has been sent to Auckland, New Zealand, and a physi, elan secured who will board the steam CT on which Sara travels on her ar rival there, and thence to Sydney continue in constant attendance on her pets. He will then make out and sign a certificate of their being in perfect health, and by means of this it is be- ieved that the Sydney authorities may be placated and landing gained for the dogs.
 And these little precautions will cost Sara tho Divine just about S1, GOO.

A DastardlY Outrage,

Chas Blackman found one of his most valuable COWS out in the pastu . lot with her tail cut off, one ear split open. and cut and gashed in the most horrible manner on other parts of the body. What pleasure there could be for the cowardly miscreant in taking such despicable means of venting his spite we cannot see. A more dastardly and inhuman outrage we have not heard of for some time, and had MT Blackman or anyone else caught the fiend in the act, justice swift and sure would have been the result and no trial would have been needed. -Woodbury Reporter.

About Q o'clock yesterday morning a

serious results upon the head and face
of one Dennis Finn, hackman. Officers
McNulty and COnroy entered the sa-
loon a few moments after the END of
the fight and arrested Charles Frederick,
who is employed as a waiter in the
wine room. Frederick was locked up,
and subsequently the officers arrested
Nichols, the proprietor, and William
Mason, who the authorities believe was
engaged Ill the row.
The prisoners were arraigned in the
municipal court later in the day. In
view of the serious nature of Firms
wounds, Frederick was held in the sum
of $500. Nichols was charged with
keeping disorderly house, and he and
Mason were released on furnishing the
necessary bonds. The trial of the cases
has been postponed until 2 O'Clock OH
Friday next. Yesterday afternoon, on
the complaint of George Rooney, Fred
erick was arraigned before Judge Maho-
ney on charge of assault in the second
degree. He was held to bail in 500.
The latter charge grew out of the morn
