A pos's Course Dinner.

Fro m the Philadelphia Record
The appetite enjoyed by dog
owned by John Knox, we'll known
farmer of West Manayunk, is a matter
of pride to the natives of that suburb.
1t is Newfoundland dog gilmore than
average intelligence and rare diges-
tive powers. Yesterday he started
his lunch on box of axle grease.
Then he entered the blacksmith shop
eff Samuel Sturgis and ate with evident
relish two pounds of putty. A visit to
Wetherills grocery store yielded him
three pounds of tallow candles, which
he devoured with great gusto. Need
ing exercise after this, he ran over to
Ryan's quarry, where his attention
was attracted to a stick of dynamite
that was being thawed out near the
stove. The explosive seemed to suit
his taste, and he promptly began to
crunch it. A stampede of the men fol-
lowed. They were afraid to kick the
dog away from his meal for fear of an
explosion, so he leisurly consumed the
stick and then joined the frightened
workmen, who for the rest of the day
treated him with marked considera-
tion.

Chicago is becoming such an asylum
for tramps, notes the New York Post,
who are attracted by reports of the
wholesale dispensing of charity to the
unemployed, that it has been decided
not to feed aliens who come to the city
solely to subsist on it's bounty. Police
officers are to be detailed to watch
freight trains crossing the city limits
for the purpose of stopping "dead.
heads" who cannot give good &C
count of themselves. The chief of pu-
lice also thinks it time to relieve the
pressure on the resources of the relief
committees by sending out of town
those of the assisted poor who have
homes elsewhere and might obtain
support among their neighbors. The
humber of dependents increases unac-
countably. One night recently 600
men applied to the City Hall for beds,
in spite of the fact that free lodging
houses were being opened on every
side, and the following night the mum.
ber of City Hall dodgers had risen to
676. The authorities have really need
of men to work on the streets, but the
appropriated money is very low. The
superintendent of the Street Depart.
ment says he can use 5000 men until
spring. He would put them to work
cleaning bitches in the outlying wards
in order that the surface drainage
might not be stopped. The superin.
tendent of the Bureau of Street and
Alley Cleaning says he can work 5000
men on the streets until spring il

The dismautlement of Worlds Fair

The dismantlement of Worlds Fair
structures has in one respect proved
godsend to the poor of Chicago. In
jackson Park thore were recently 1000
wagon loads of excellent firewood
which the officials were glad to get rid
of. The Chicago Relief and Aid So
ciety obtained permissi on to cart the
wood away, and put mp the following
sign on the park fence near the Sixty
second street gate: Gree Wood for
the Poor" Any person with q horse
and wagon is now admitted to the park
and allowed to take away all the wood
his wagon will hold, the only condi-
tion being that he shall present per-
NIT from the society. The pile of
debris through which the wood is scat
tered has length of 800 yards, width
OF 100 yards and height of twelve
feet. 1t consists of baskets, boxes and
barrels. The man in need of fuel has
only to delve i'll this pile to get as SER
viceable kindling wood as could be
found anywhere. The applicants are

ing from their ragged coats and pinched

ny's Expert to Come Down.

W's Expert to Come Down.
Charlotte, N. G., Observer.)
This section has long been known
as rich gold region, but the keynote
of its still greater fame in the mineral
line has perhaps been struck in the
finding at Kings Mountain, several
days ago, of diamond, such as are
picked up on the diamond feiae ~
South America and elsewhere. The
story of the find is as follows:
E A negro man, who lives near Kings
Mountain, started to the spring for
some water. In vds troIl,eng by the
branch he saw So. thing glistenip,; !,
near the waters edge He picked il
up, and thinking it was rather pret-
ty stone, gave it to Mr.. Carpenter
who lives near him. The latter
thought it was diamond, but to be
sure, he sent it on to Tiffany, New
York City. He wss surprised to re-
ceive Thursday Sl4 for the stone, and
a letter stating that Tiffany's expert,
George F. Konz, would be sent to
Kings Mountain at once to examine
the stones in the locality where the
diamond was found. Mr.. Kunz is one
of the leading experts of the country
His visit and opinions are anxiously
waited for. Another stone was
found a day or two after the first
one, but it was smaller.
The nation may yet be, startled by
the discovery of diamond fields in
North Carolina.
