Shall We Eat the Horse!

The bike and the trolley having
driven the noble horse from the
streets and highways, what to do
with him is the question. 1t is
proposed to eat him, and horse
flesh is being sold extensively in
the German and French markets.
1t cannot be denied that the horse
is cleaner animal than the COW or
the hog, but the same might be
said Of the cat, and nobody is han
kering after cat meat. The horse
is healthier animal than the av-
erage COW or hog, but he gets far
better treatment. And he eats only
healthy food, drinks only pure
water and never touches whiskey,
except when it is forced upon him.
But if horse flesh is to become a
staple food the fat, thick legged
and round BANNED horse that no.
body cares about, will bring the
highest price in the market. We
are afraid that we have come into
the world too late to enjoy horse
meat. We have learned to eat
frogs and oysters, and to drink
beer, things our ancestors would
not touch but we leave "hoss meat"
to posteritv.

The Grifin-Murphy fight will
not take place in Louisville, as the
Board Of Public Safety Of that city
has issued an order to the police to
stop any contests with gloves at
theatres, athletic clubs, or anywhere
else, so that settles the fight for
that place, and it is the duty of
every city in the United States to
do likewise, and we don't believe

In nine cases out of ten the troub-

you can restore them to a healthy

PrOfane Swearing.

There is no law upon our statute
books more completely a dead
letter, than the law against profan-
ity. Yet there is no offence com
mitted by men, which has a moro
degrading effect upon public NOR
ais than loud profanity upon the
public streets. We know that
some great men and some good
men upon occasions of great excite
ment, have INDUCED in explosives
not agreeable to cars polite. But
no really good man ever offends
the ears of the public by loud and
vulgar oaths. Some very rude and
reckless men often do this, and
some very foolish ones imagine
that profanity will pass for wit and
humor. But profane swearing is
an offence against the laws which
ought to be punished. We send
men to the penitentiary for break
ing into barns and stealing corn
for food, when their families are
starving, because the law demands
it. We should enforce the law
against crime which is far worse
than this, if an injury to the rising
generation counts for anything at
all. If the law is to be respected
let it be enforced. 1t is an offence
to prclanely curse, swear and get
drunk, and these things are paired
in the statute because they usually
together. go -Wetzel Democrat.

They Were Riding Too Fast.

At little past O'Clock Sunday eve
ming, as Deputy Hartnett was coming up
onto Congress street in front of the City
Building. from Myrtle street, two wheel
men went flying past at rate of speed,
manifestly beyond that of the legal
limit. He recognized one of them, and
Monday morning summoned Mr..
Fred A. Barbour and Mr.. Leighton to
the police ste tion. They will appear in
court this morning.
Their has been a great deal of fast rid
ing in our streets this spring, many
wheelmen seeming to utterly disregard
the fact that they are under. legal obli-
gation to moderate their speed over the
pavements of this city. This is not only
dangerous to the pedestrians, but it
hurts the noble sport of bioyling. The
only way to stop this thing is to enforce
the law when possible

TWIN BROTHERS.
They Look SO Much Alike That Common
Mistakes Frequently Occur.

A Portland man, who had just re-
turned from foreign country. was in
Boston the other day on his way home
and at one of the hotels was sitting in
long row of men in the Office reading the
evening paper. He spoke to the man
next to him, without looking at him,
and asked him what was the best thing
at the theatre that evening.
When the..man replied his voice was SO
familiar that his questioner took good
look at him. The man was apparently
a stranger, but there was something
very familiar about his voice and face
and manner. In conversation he said
that he too had come from Maine, hav.
ing formerly lived in Bangor. Then the
Portland man took another good look
at him and said. "I've never seen you
before, but you look, and talk exactly
like Capt. John Tenney, of Portland,
agent of the Towboat Company"
"I'm his twin BROTHER" said the
stranger.
On his return the Portland man told
Capt. Tenney of the meeting and the
latter related several incidents when he
had been mistaken for his twin brother
and vice versa. He once brought home
as passenger in his vessel from Porto
Rico, a New York man and his family.
1t came about in some way that Capt.
Tenney, in sport promised Mr.. Yates
wife hogshead of molasses, from his
cargo. A long time afterwald Capt.
Tenney's twin brother was riding lin the
railway car near Bangor when he was
greeted by strange woman very cor
daily, who Immediately asked him
when are you going to give me that
hogshead of molasses?n
She didn't look crazy and he was
dnmfounded at first, but Instantly real
ized that he was supposed to be his
brother and replied appropriately in re-
gard to the molasses.
1t was some time before she discov-
cred her mistake.

Hartz mountains; the grotto OF Statacla; :;
the Brocker glen; the terrace of Wolfen-
stein Castle, and the final transforma-
tion scene. From an artistic standpoint
the "BIack Crook" offers rare diver
sion, fairly taking the palm amid spec
taeular productions. This year as usual
there is very little singing to speak of,
but the beauty Of the hallets, the daz-
zIing succession of stage tableaux, the
scenic and mechanical effects are
promised to be fine.
