DEATH OF A NOTED DOG.
Value by His Owner at $40, OoO-Buriod
In Burlington.

In Burlington.
Mr. John ]. Aliens st. Bernard dog
Pope was familiar figure about college
hill until his death last Thursday night.
Pope was one of the most celebrated dogs
of his kind In the United States and his
parents who lived on the other side OF the
water were among the most famous St.
Bernards in all England, He was, accord
ing to MIR. Allen, the largest dog OF his
breed in this country, standing "a inches
high at the shoulders and built in perfect
proportion. His markings of brown and
white were SO evenly distributed that il
seemed that he must have been coored by
some more skillful artist than nature. His
pedigree shows that he was ono of the scons
Of noble family and, to carry it back as
far as it goes, is like reading chapter from
The genealogical tables found in the old
biblical records. One Of his antecedents
was Baysrd, who was at one time the
champion st. Bernard OF all England and
who sold for $40, 600.
In spite of the fact that Pope's family
tree could be traced so far back he was not
a bit stuck up over it and was OF m ost
friendly disposition. Two or three DAYS
before his death friend OF Mr. Allen Of
fersd him nearly $1,000 for the dog.
mo, l won't soil him for that, nor for ten
times that, replied Mr.. Allen. pope is
one OF the friends that | can always depend
upon aud no money can buy him." Just
what was the cause OF death Mr.. Allen does
not know. Pope was taken sick aud in
spite of the most careful attention, and
nursing as tender as though be had been
one of tho family, the dog died. He WAS
buried under an appletree in Mr., C. f. Al
lens yard.

HARDwIcK, VT, June 30.-The annual
meeting Of the Vermont Woman's Suffrage
association in session here this week, adopted
the following resolutions before adjourn
ment:
Whereas, we the Vermont Woman's SUI
frage association in convention assembled,
recognize God as our Leader, and accept
the principles taught in the ''Sermon on the
Mount" as our creed; and whereas, govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of 1.-The governed, and women are
governed; taxation with representa- Is
tyranny and women are taxed. Therefore,
Resolved, That we deplore the present
subordinate condition of women in church
and state as u wicked injustice to woman
hood, and an unwarrantable usurpation,
altogether unworthy of tho civilization of
the 10Th century.
Whereas, Women now have full suffrage
in the State Of Wyoming, municipal suf-
frage In Kansas and Michigan, and I'M
married women and widows have munich
pal suffrage in England and Scotland and
many of the British provinces, and school
suffrage in 81 States and Territories; there
fore
Resolved, That in this progress the cause
has already made, we recognize the leading
csptauce of the principles of equal rights
we see promise Of the ultimate triumph Of
our cause.
Resolved, That we do hereby present CON
gratulstions to the w. =. A. of Michigan
on having secured from their Legislature a
law extending full municipal suffrage tc
women; and for the generous vote given the
bill by the Legislature.
Resolved, that we hereby tender our sin
cere thanks and high appreciation to the
members Of both houses Of the Vermont
Legislature,of 1872, who favored and voted
for the bill granting municipal suffrage to
women.
Resolved, that as an organization and in
dividually, we will use our influence to elect
men for our next Legislature who are fav-
orable to equal suffrage; and we do heartily
endorse the ''enrollment plan" and recon
mend vigorous prosecution Of this w rk
in our State.

RAPID TRANSIT TALK AGAIN.
A Mass-Meeting to Be Held in
Harlem Tomorrow Night
Another Hitch Probable Over tho
Word Exclusive"

Rapid transit matters are gradu-
working up to a point of interest again,
particularly In the neighborhood OF
Washington Heights.
big mass-meeting has been called
for tomorrow evening at the Athe-
naeum. at one Hundred and Fifty-fcth
street. near Amsterdam avenue, at
which the situation will be exhHus-
lively discussed and resolutions will be
passed calling upon the authorities to
SEQ that the question Is speedily set
tied.
Among those who have promised to
speak on this occasion are Congress
man John X. Fellows, Orlando Il. Pot
ter, ex-Judge James X. Angel. George
+. Gantz Lawson n. Fuller and E. NJ:
Carpenter. Front seats will be reserved
for ladies, and music. will be furnished
by the Harlem Band and Miss Anna
Park, the cornet sooist
Alderman Robert B. Saul will be the
presiding officer
1t ip said that the Committee on Ex-
tensions OF the Manhattan Railway
Company has been talking over the last
Commissioners informally. and Will hold
a meeting tomorrow at which some de-
finite action will be taken.
Should the plan offered be adopted
IL WOulu ne U'tfStdIy loi tii' 'pllibhhy
to raise at once slo,0O0.O00 or $4,000, ,Oo)
and this Is one of the points to be con
| siderei. Whether the IL" people favor
thc per cent. compensation. with
Si25OOO as the minimum annual pay
ment. or the Sl75.00O lump sum plan is
not yet apparent.
Russell Sage has stated that he favors
the fixed annual payment, but thinks
that Sl75, 900 Is too much. 1t Is believed.
however. that others lean to the per
cent. plan.
Another thing that the Elevated Rail-
road Company wants Is guarantee
from the Commission that II shall be
given exclusive rights In the streets
which II is proposed TO occupy II the
franchises are granted and the terms
accepted. This Is because 1t Is afraid
of competition in the future.
II is stated that the Commission has
no power to give such guarantee. and
many people expect to see another hitch
on this point.
Mayor Gilroy strongly favors the
annual hxed payment OF STE, 900 as com
pensation. believing II to be much more
advantageous to the city than the alter
native.
