A CURIOUS ACTING DOG.
Spending His Days Watching a Hole In
the Ice of Lake Michigan.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-A big Newfoundland
dog, which has been lying upon the ice at
the foot Of Thirty-eighth street, intently
watching an air hole, has for several days
excited the curiosity OF people in the vi
ciuity. The animal was first noticed by
Officer Carberry last Sunday morning
The dog was lying on the ice, about 200
feet out from the shore. and intentlv
watching the aperture in the Ice.
All efforts to coax him from the place
for time proved fruitless, but he was fl
nally persuaded to enter a shanty near the
lake, where he remained by the fire until
warm, when he again ran out upon the
Ice and took up his watch beside the hole.
1t Is believed by the police that the an
imals owner accidently fell or jumped in
10 the hole, beside which the animal Is so
faithfully watching, and they are making
efforts to ascertain TO whom the dog be-
longs.

upon Ferrie as the only representative of the

TIE CHURCH GROUTNG ~ PROSPERITY

IN ANNOUNCEMENT CONTRACTED BY THE
REV. DIR. CHARLES l.. THOMPSON.
large congregation assembled in the Madison
Avenue Presbyterian Church. at Madison-ave. and
Fifty-third-st.. yesterday forenoon. The Rev
DR.. Charles l.. Thompson, the pastor prefaced
the usual pulpit announcements by saying that he
desired TO call attention TO the envelope system OF
voluntary contributions for sustaining the church
In its various branches OF work This system
he said, had kept up beautifully. and the con
tributions had been made regularly and prompt
~ IL the contributors had been regularly as
sessed
He had been asked many times in the last few
days whether there was any chance that the
spacious and valuable church cdince and other
property would be sold account OF financial
embarrassment. These questions he said had
doubtless been caused by Il false statement put
before the public. There was not the remotest
thought Of selling the church property, and no
cause for such thought. The last year had been
the most prosperous year ever enjoyed by the
church. The collections had been large. and the
income would fully meet the expenses for the first
time In many years. There was every evidence
of prosperity. and much encouragement to be-
lievc that the church. with fun faith and full
hope. would 20 on and solve the problem which
Providence had given II to solve.
DR. thompson then preached eloquent ser
mon. which was received with profound attention.
