New York will have to hide its dimin- |
ished head" said Wilbur Marshall Of Bos-
ton at the Riggs House last night 1T has |
corn and grain and petroleum and stocks
and all sorts Of other exchanges, but il re-
mains for the cultured city. which I am
proud to hail from, to establish a dog ex-
change. Don't shudder but it is true Gull
tured Boston will shortly have an establish
ment devoted solely to the CANNES The
New England Kennel Club, which has
hitherto devoted its attention to bench
shows, has determined to introduce the tn
novation at the hub. and believe II to be a
very good thing. There will be no sales OF
animals undertaken by the exchange, but
application has been made often of the
Kennel Club as to where dogs Of various
breeds could be found that the Kennel Club
decided to make the interchange Of such in
formation regular business All questions
about dogs will be answered. A record Of
breeders and their list OF stock for sale or
at the stud will be Kept on hand for the
purpose of putting them In communication
with possible purchasers. AS Boston fs
great on pedigrees, the exchange will trace
the aristoctatic lineage of any dog whose
owner Is dubious about his antecedents, and
for this small sum viii be charged. The
chances are that Massachusetts, will soon
possess blue book, or rather blue-blood-
ed book Of dogs, which will hold the same
relation to the canine kingdom as Burkes
peerage does to Great Britain. From this
you will readily perceive that in the pro-
cession of progress Boston is right close up
behind the band along with Chicago and
Greater New York"
Next winter will see an advance upon
the legislatures Of the various states. and
Upon Congress also by the National Dairy
mans Association" said Walter A. Story of
Elgin. III, at the Ebbitt yesterday. The
organization was established some months
ago for the purpose OF protecting the pro-
ducers and sellers Of genuine butter from
the bad effects that is exercised upon their
business by the sale of oleomargarine, but
terine and similar products of suet and cot
tonseed Oil as ne real dairy product Bills
will be introduced simultaneously in the
various legislatures. and they will all be
Identical in character. so that the laws OF
all the states, in case the bills DIRE adopted.
will be similar. There will be no attempt
10 prevent the manufacture sale OF irni-
tation butter or its use by restaurants,
hotels, boarding and other public houses.
but the proposed legislation will compel all
such products to be plainly labeled. so that
even the most innocent or ignorant pur-
chaser cannot be fooled into buying them
with the idea that they are the real stun.
and all public houses using the articles
either in cooking or upon their tables will
be required TO prominently display in their
dining rooms placards announcing such use.
/ believe there Is a similar law In affect in
Maryland now"
II wish some OF these theosophists, who
know all about the subtle influences that
control human beings, would explain an in

Calculated
There seems to be 8 prevailing impress
sion that the militia OF a state cam t be
depended upon to quell a riot such as those
which grow out Of labor troubles and
strikes, and which are participated in BY
the civil acQuaintances Of the soldiers them
selves" said George Carr of Cincinnati, at
the Arlington yesterday. The idea seems
to be that the sol1iery will not fire urcn
the mob should the emergency arise snen
such a serious action would become neees-
sary. This was undoubtedly true IN the
past, but nowadays, when the militia OF
almost all the states has had something 20
do with putting down riots. cont believe
that there would be any hesitancy on the
part OF state soldiers to carry cut extra
orders II they were given by their COM

Pennsylvania National Guard during the

sentiments Of the sane sort. Against our
ranks. at that time on one occasion, they
kept up a continuous polley of missiles
of all Sorts while firearms were frequently
used, and they seemed to desire our ami

When the order was given to fire 10 was as
quickly resctnded, but i venture to say
that every man In our command would
