SHE KISSED A CAR HORSE.
A Pretty Girl the Heroine Of

She was young and fair.

Her present name is Lorraine Hollis,
and she loves horses better than men.
She had an escort last evening at 6
o'clock when she passed the corner Of Bush

And that escort would doubtless have
liked to exchange places with certain car
horse stationed at that corner, at least for
two or three minutes.
This was when the Hollis girl left his
side without a moments warning, walked
up 10 the poor old car-hOrSe, threw her
arms lovingly about its neck. patted its
name, called it pet names and kissed it.
That ear-horse was surprised.
But not half as much surprised as that
escort.
The horse just stood still AMI looked elo-

big eyes:

but his elOquence was not of eOntentment
His eyes spoke too, though his mouth was
sealed, but they uttered different thoughts
than those expressed by his equine majesty.
At that time the streets we're crowded
with pedestrians. Many Of them stopped in
their homeward rush to catch second
glimpse of the unusual spectacle.
And those who stopped heard these words

"You darling old horse! Nice old fellow !
Is you tired, horsey? There, you dear.

There was an osculatory sound In the

The horse nodded his head and looked

1t was evident that he agreed with the

ONE THING AT A TIME.
Health Measures Are Being Taken by
Very Slow Degrees.

Health Measures Are Being Taken by
Very Slow Degrees.
Perhaps Ii is all right just now, but IL the
cholera gets here the health authorities are
liable TO be left behind.
Too much haste Is always TO be depre-
Gated, but there is such thing as crawling.
DR.. Keeney has got his lime 10 be sure
He made reQulsiton for it some time
ago.
Now be has to get some wagons to use in
spreading it.
Then he will have to file a requistion for
a couple OF shovels TO ladle IL out.
After that there will be something else,
and so on until the city is properly disn-
fected as the Health Officer considers neces-
saTy.
Petitions to abate nusances are coming
in by the shoal.
Yesterday one was received from General
Graham at the Preside complaining Of an
open sewer under Locust street, near the
northern boundary of the reservation.
The trouble with this particular nuisance
appears to be that the only way 10 abate it
is by putting sewer through the reserva-
tion, and this the Washington authorities
have refused TO allow.
Thus Ii goes, and much remains TO be done
before DR.. Keeney can show the city such
perfect bill of health that the cholera, now
at New York, will positively decline 10 take

MEXICANS REHERRSING.

A Grand Chorus of Four Fl und ed Voice .
I'm the Pavilion.
Nearly 400 Of the senoritas and caballeros
of the Mexican colony we're very hOarse
last night through singing patriotic hymns
and battle-songs.
They were rehearsing for the Mexican
celebration, which takes place at the Pa
vilion Sunday night.
The members OF the Mexican colony have
taken hold OF the celebration in truly royal
style, and it will undoubtedly be one of the
events In the history of the colony.
The musical part OF the programme may
be set down as being something excep-
tional.
The last rehearsal but one, which was
held last night at Apollo Hsll. gave every
evidence of that fact.
The Mexican hymn, when sung by enthu-
siastic Mexicans In a chorus, is one of the
grandest of national anthems.
The young ladies who take part In the
chorus will dress in the national costume,
and will be attended bv band of little
girls crowned with flowers.
A rehearsal will be held tomorrow night
at the Pavilion with brass orchestral ac-
compartment.
The committee of arrangements have IN
vited the city officials TO be present In the
line of the parade and also to attend the fes-
tivities at the Pavilion.
