REASONS FOR BLACK AND TAN.

In some of the highly-bred toy dogs, as
the small black-and-tan terriers, 1 found
on inquiry that these spots, formerly 50
very conspicuous, were being bred out,
and had nearly disappeared. Their per
ed varieties, except those of late date is
singular, for there is fairly good proof
that when first domesticated the dog was
red or bright brown, like pariah, dingo,
etc.
AS far as can see, we do not find the
spots white on a black or dark ground :;
nor yet black or dark on white or light
ground. My explanation is that they have
arisin as a permanent marking after the
dogs ''sported" to black under domesti-
cation. and have been preserved ana de

Over 1000 Kinds of Type.
They are very keen journalists in the

several consequences naturally follow.
First, he must be a good deal of a

Horrible scenes have been witnessed

Some of the sufferers had limbs torn

THEY HAVE a CLUE.
Chicago Police Inclined to Believe
They Know Something.

Chicago, Nov. 23-The Chicago po-
lice have obtained clue regarding
Benjamin F. Pitzel, the accomplice of
H. H. Holmes, alias Howard. who is
now detained at Philadelphia on
charges of having swindled an insur-
ance company.
The amount was placed on Pitzel S
life and September 80 last a body sup
Philadelphia. Pitzel had lived up to
May l on Madison avenue, near Fifty
third street. 1t was found that Pitzel
had vacated his Morgan fiat apart
ments on May 5, and that the furniture
had been stored at 1872, SiXty-third
street.
On or about August last, he was in
the city ostensibly to make arrange

was received from Pitzel from st,
Louis in which he promised to soon
clear the outstanding Indebtedness on
his furniture and effect it's removal.
Four letters have been written to Pit
Eel at st. Louis, and none have been
returned to him. despite the fact that
the precaution was taken to place the
writer's address with the usual request
for return on the outside OF each en-
VelOpe. This, the police think, shows
that if PitZel himself is not alive and
living at st. Louis, someone is repre-
senting him there who knows every de-
tail concerned with his business tran
sactions. The handwriting of the ST.
Louis letter corresponds with that of
the one mailed at Philadelphia by Pit

ter an angry debate lasting two weeks,
the Conservatives have assented to a
truce on the CUBAN home rule bill pre-
pared by Senator Mauri, ex-colonial

Francisco say, is to wed General An
tonio Ezeta, was formerly a resident of
this city. Mrs Paxton Is the daughter
of the late Colonel w. r. Morrison, of
this city, and is we'll known in Roches-

Paxton, a. member of a wealthy family
in Santa Rosa. California, and a man
reputed to be worth between one and
two million dollars.e The couple lived to-
gether until 1884, when it is alleged the
husband deserted his wife. After her
husbands departure Mrs Paxton re-
turned TO Rochester and made her
nome with her parents, supporting her
self and two children by the aid of her
musical abilities. In February last
Mrs. Paxton went to San Francisco
and instituted an action for divorce

the legal action she took up her resi-
dence in the western city.

MUNICIPAL PAWNSHOPS.

lt'rom the Contemporary Rayiew.l
There are records of a pawnshop reg
ulated in the interest of ;he borrowers,
in Bavaria, in 1893, and one in the
Franche Conte in 1850 before the first
Italian monte di pieta was establish
ed by a priest at Perugia in 144O. The
movement for state-regulated pawn
shops received its great impetus from
the action OF that statesman-monka and
social democrat, Savonarola who lib
Grated the Florentines from oppression
and gave them popular institutions. In
no other directions were his services to
the people more successful than in
founding monti di pieta. The law for
creating his mont di pieta was passed
in 1895, and before many years they
were established in all the principal
towns in Italy and had spread through
out Europe.
The first mont de piete in France
was started at Avignon in 1877, and
still exists. Their establishment in the
Netherlands dates from the Sixteenth
century. A Spanish priest, Don Fran
cisco Piquer, founded the mont de piete
of Madrid in 1905, starting with the
modest capital of 3 pence, which he
found in the offertofy box he had
placed in the church to receive con-
'tributions for the institution. BY the
end of the Seventeenth century there
We're monts de piete. formed more OR
less after the Italian model, in most
countries of Europe.
The characteristics of the original in
stitution remain with those of today.
although they have long since ceased
to- be managed by the priests, or to be
under the influence of the churches.
The main object, which Savonarola
and other early founders mad in view
the protection of the poor from
uSurers and their relief in periods of
distress-is still maintained, and the
monts de piete in all latin countries are
associated with charitable institutions
and hospitals.

HER NoBLEsT DUTY.

The forms of life are subject TO law,

Like other fashions, she is destined TO
excite notice, to be admired, criticised
ard forgotten. The liberty which she in
vokes will be fatal to her. If on mems

thropic. the political, the surgical woman y?
And what man would submit to an all-

his affections.

BLOODY AND BRUTAL.
Two Men Murdered So There Testi-
mony Could Not BE Had.

Charleston, w. Va, Nov. 23.-On No
vember Is DR.. A. Aults. of Montgomery,
was called from his bed to see a patient
on the 'other side of the creek. The
next morning the doctors body was
discovered on the rocks. fifty feet be-
meath the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad
bridge. His head was terribly crushed
and his neck broken. The coroner's
jury decided that the victims death re-
suited from his falling from the bridge.
Residents of Montgomery, however,
were not satisfied with the verdict and
further investigation strengthens the
theory that DR.. Aults was murdered.
This theory is more or less substan-
tiated by the killing of DR.. Davis on
Morris creek, on August 8. On that day
DR.. Davis, while driving down the creek
on the kanawha county side, was shot
from ambush and almost instantly
killed.
Bid" Clendenning, miner, was
arrested and later convicted Of
the murder, being sentenced to
the penitentiary for life. His trial
developed plot among the miners
to do away with four or five
prominent citizens of Montgomery to
prevent damaging testimony in the

ELECTRIC BLEACHING.

jected a scheme for making bleached

ert moderate decomposing action on

ing agent such as chlorine.
! The tresses are allowed to fall back
of the chair and are dampened with a

forming the positive pole of the battery

A slight decomposition of the salt

bleaching agent is liberated and the
coloring matter in the hair is lightened
Inc discoverer declares that the color
given to the darkened hair may be
varied at pleasure, and may also be
carefully regulated; furthermore, he
states that the color does not resemble
that of 'bleached' hair, but is more
natural and in every way able to de-
celve the most expert in such matters
While the idea is one which is at

point, the object attained, if his state
ments are true, is one which should be
