SLCRETARY'S REPORT.

AS A complete report was given at an adj
joUrned meeting of the board of directors
Of the Humane society up TO Dec. 10 and
the report for the rest of the month called
for by the board had not been prepared by
the secretary at that time, | therefore re-
port rs follows:
Total number OF applications from
Dec. 10 To close Of the month........ "A
No. of cases investigated by secretary IA
No. aided with groceries, clothing etc. Il
No. sent TO hospital Observation-Disclosures. ]
No. given tickets to go away..........
Total No. of cases III which aid was
granted. ........... -.........'..''-.- ~
That the figures NAV appear clear IL
might be well TO call attention to the fact
that some were aided the second time.
Much has doubtless been done by the
members of the society that has not been
reported TO the secretary and is, therefore
not on our books. And If | may be allowed
a word III regard TO the chraity OF the So
cety will say that / am becoming more
and more enthused with the idea of a
united effort in doing the charity work of
the city. The suggestion of such COM
mttee by the president and the detailed
plans OF work and the engineering of these
plans by Rev Il. w. Rhames, chairman of
the committee IS Enthusiastically grand
move and if the cooperative members OF
the committee will do their best to cooper
ate as duty presents itself, and the various
charitable organizations of the city will
make it their business to inform US Of
their work and be informed by Us Of our
work. we will soon have a harmonious
! systematized cooperative work which viii
accomplish more with less effort than car
/ be done in any other way.
! 1t seems to me that members of the HUI
name society who are especially interested
/ in the charity department of the worl
would do well to let us have their name:
as cooperative members also.
The secretary makes 1t poiut TO makt
one investigation of each case and ther
sends some one of the cooperative member
to become kindly visitor aud see the cas-
through and report results from time T.
time as necessary. J. A. HENRY,
Secretary.

How Jack Let In a Home Run.

The story OF the fly catch made by
that hawk out In Colorado, which 0. r
Caylor recently put on record, has re-
called a similar incident TO king
Kelly" It reminded him OF a play
which occurred on the Chicago grounds
half a decade ago. The late William A.
aurlbert was President Of the Chicagos,
and he had a big, ugly looking bulldog,
One day while game was In progress
Jack strollsd out into the park and laid
down in center field. Presently visit
ing batter sent the ball to Jacks rest
ing place. 1t rolled up between his
forepaws and struck him In the neck.
Then it fell between his ugly jaws and
laid there.
George Gore went in pursuit. he
reached Jacks vicinity before the bats
man got to second base, but he didn't
pick up the ball Jack said something
between his teeth, and Gore just
skirmished around. applying honeyed
words In dog patois, but Jack merely
swore dog oaths under his breath, while
the foe circled the bases, made home
run and tied the score. Then time was
called until President Hurlbert could
be sent for to rescue the ball and get II
into play again. Thereafter Jack
watched the games from the club house.

other places where the air is laden with
life giving, salt sea 0reeZes. Still there
are certain old families who think Sara
toga is next door to paradise and TO
them Newport and the rest are but up
starts.
The ladies who come to Saratoga dress
as well now as ever, and l think some OF
them make a point of dressing more
deliberately than the wealthiest New
port habitue. At any rate you will see
at Saratoga lovely long trailing gowns,
stately and graceful. You will entan-
tangle your eyes IL not your heart In
Intricate lace patterns and be enchant-
ed with the exquisite, II fragile, deli
cacy OF everything the ladies WEIR. On
the seacOast the air Is too damp for
crisp muslin and fine laces, and it is
too cool for them in the mountains, so
is one wants to find the oft mentioned,
true summer girl, here Is where she is
at her very best.
One very swell dress struck my fancy
for what is a little out Of the common,
while being very handsome in all other
ways. This was worn by a beautiful
young lady descendant Of an old Vtr-
glnia family, and report says that her
mother, her grandmother and her great
grandmother all became engaged in Sar-
atoga. This young lady is married, so
any romance on that score is out OF the
question. The gown was of India silk,
with large pattern OF delicate purple
heather on a cream ground. All around
the long train was a double ruifie bound
with cream white satin ribbon, and the
edge was stiffened so as 20 stand upright
in 3 sort OF fiuted pattern. The upper
sleeves were made with thre loose ruttles
overlaid with others of duchess lace. The
cOrsage was draped across the bust in
the most graceful manner and held and
belted by pale mauve bows. The dainty
bonnet was OF mauVe velvet, with pur-
pie and white heather and velvet
strings. The gloves were long pearl
undressed kid, and the parasol was Of
mauve silk covered-or, as one lady
said, overWhelmed-with fine white
lace, aud there was bunch OF heather
tied with q mauYe satin ribbon TO the
top Of the parasol-altogether lovely
gown for carriage or promenade at q
summer resort
A new style called the Bulgarian has
broken out. and out Of ten women you
will find five OF them in this kind or a
gown az from to 2. IN. One was Of
black satin as to skirt and bodice, which
was cut down half low In the neck, and
magenta surah as to sleeves, which
were double puffs and reached only to
the elbows. From the shoulders TO the
bottom of the demitraiu there was
loose fall of black lace, not
meeting in front, but falling
down straight from the front like
the loose sacks of the Bulgarian women

houses OF the Chinese quarters where
the chances Of escape after the CON-
mission Of murder are greatly In
favor OF the high-binder, they prefer
to use 44-calibre revoivers, the bullets
of which tear large holes through the
bodies OF their victims. Outside Of the
Chinese quarters, however, the weapon
Of the highlander is usually the bar or
knife. These weapons make 10 sound,
and that is the reason they are used on
white people.
In recent raid on 'fence" / Sc
cured a lot Of very inocent looking i'm
ported spools Of thread. The place
rsided was jewelry store, and the
thread seemed rather out Of place,
especially as there were number of
spools lying around. made an exam
ination of the spools and discovered
ieweled treasures in the core Of each.
That is the latest scheme for smugg
ling gems or secreting them when
stolen.
Before closing I might mention that
New York municipal authorities have
decided TO stop suppl ying liquid ink
eradicators to the city departments
hereafter. A certain well known Grad
icator was on the city's stationery list
and had heen supplied freely to the de-
partments, but it was suggested that 1t
was throwing temptation In the way OF
the city's employees who might use the
eradicator TO change their books or
accounts without the risk Of detection,
and thus cover up fraud. The mayor
thought the suggestion was very time
ly, and hereafter only steel erasers
will be allowed, for their use can read
lily be detected at any time.
