Kept by "a Russian sheep Raiser Whose
rIocks Number One Million Five Hum
dred Thousand.
Valdemar Paulovitch, young Rus
sian who recently passed through Buff
falo, told reporter of Gustav Jovano-
witch, the Russian who owns more
dogs than any other man in the world.
Jovanovitch is the sheep king of the
Russian steppcs. lie owns over one
million five hundred thousand sheep,
and that is why he has so many dogs.
They are all OF the shepherd breed and
number above thirty-five thousand.
Jovanovitch's sheep and dogs have de-
scended 20 him from his forefathers,
and, needless TO say. he is immensely
rich. The dogs are all intelligent
creatures, though OF hundred breeds.
and all perform their offices faith
fully.
"You can imagine that IL costs a
great deal of money 20 feed such n
number OF animals" said Mr. Paulo-
witch. "They are well kept and fed,
else they would be forced TO turn on
their fioclSs. Jovanovitch has great,
barn-like structures for the dogs shell
ter, and scores OF men TO care for
them. Great care Is taken of the
brutes' health and dog rarely goes
mad. The millionaire sheep owner
buys dog biscuit by the ton in France
to guard against distemper. Fleas, Of
course. are necessity among such n
number OF dogs. though sulphur baths
are provided for their determination.
The 1eas, however. not only pay the
expenses of the bath, but put quite n
bit of money into the pockets OF the
dog keepers. In ST. Petersburg there
Is a great demand among the wealthy

among thirty-hye thousand dogs one

Prime hut Dangerous sport for Hardy
Fishermen Near the Gulf stream.
Not many days ago the mackevel
fishing schooner Centennial, OF Glouces-
ter, scraped n costly and curious 10
quaintance with a huge swordfish In
the waters off Cox's ledge, at the south
east end OF the island. Maclerel were
running lively, and the Centennis's
crew had done a great days work har-

and running free astern. The tired
sailors slept soundly. None heard amp
unusual uproar in the night, not even
the bow Waterman. At daylight, how
ever, he noted that the heavy seine
boat had been capsized, and that IL
lnrched weightily on its thick towing
line. lie pipcd all hands on deck.
Great was the regret and concern OF
all, for the valuable seine, the main
stay OF their industry, had gone over
board and evidently was lost Gloomi-
ly, but quickly, the sailors righted the
boat, and then they discovered that
swordfish had charged tho boat and
had driven his serrated saber plumb
through its stout side. So terrific, In
deed, had been his onset that, APP
parently, he had flung the boat square
ly out OF the sea. twirling IL In the air
like shuttlccoclS, and il had come
down bottom up and was partly sub
merged. The bottom of the boat is OF
solid planlxing. but the swordfsh had
driven his sword through 10 ms easily,
it seemed, as II 1t had been OF paper.
But after he had delivered the thrust
the fish had been unable TO withdraw
his blade, hence, with q mighty
wrench, he had shaken himself free
from the craft. but his sword was
broken. The point, solidly fixed in tho
plank and sheathing. protruded more
than six inches above the bottom of
the craft.
In the last five seasons two fisher
men of Block Island waters have been
mortally injured and half dozen 9TH
ers seriously hurt by wounded sword
fish, whose blades were driven through
their coclsleshell with the speed of
rifie-shot. In one instance the sword
went through the bottom OF the boat--
the crew did not know even that the
monster was approaching them-slid
through its middle seat OF plank as
readily as IL IL was pasteboard, and
was buried more than two feet in the
body Of an unhappy seaman. The
man survived his frightful wound for
only few hours
In two other instances In Block Is
land waters swordfish have attacked
fishing schooners and smacks and
driven their sabers straight through
plankinR three inches thick. the sword
each time being broken, and the frag-
ments remaining imbedded SO tightly
in the opening it had made that no wa
ter leaked into the vessel. -Philadel-

Commander McGiffen of the Chinese
navy, :. former Pcnasy vsfii;sii. now IA
the celestial service, says that the re-
cent war between China and Japan is
only the prelude OF more serious fu-
ture conflict between those two coun-
tries. The opinion is partially borne
out by the rumors OF an alliance be-
tween China and Russia, on one side,
and japan and England ON the other,
but as the commander says, all re-
ports 10 that effect are. as yet, mere
conjecture. China has first TO pay her

CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS.
On THE STOCK EXCHANGE.

Monday, october Up. m.
There was complete absence OF outside or
commission house interes. in the stock market
to-day, and the trading was narrow and profess
siOnal. The excitement and liquidation in the
cotton marke: was suficien; to overshadow sew
eral favorable developments which under or
binary circumstances woulG have beneficial in
fuence upon the security market, but when the
interest Of Stock Exchange houses in cotton spec
ulation is considered. the lack Of attention to
the stock market is not astonishing. The extern
sive break in the price Of cotton involves some
losses in Wall Street and the panicky condition
of the cotton market to-day was distressing to
more than one operator. although it must be said
that the present liquidation in cotton will not
cause losses which in stock liquidation would
be considered serious. In fact. an equivalent drop
in stocks would not attract any unusual atten-
ton and when the losses involved in the decline
In cotton are divided among the many interested
in it the total for each will not be exceedingly
heavy The break In cotton prices is considered
directly responsible for better supply of bills In
the foreign exchange market. and to-day sterling
rates were appreciably lower but share specula-
ton was not affected by lower exchange. Heavy
interests are trying to get line on future devel
opments in the exchange market and on the out
