SPORTING.
A vermonter Sells Dog for $1,000

A VermOnter Sells Dog for $4,000.
An invasion of American bred prize dogs
in the English bench shows has long been
threatened, and the inaugural skirmish has
at last begun. The crack AmeIi- n mas
tiff, Beaufort's Black Prince, arrived in
England a fortnight ago, and will make
the rounds of the shows. He was first
brought out at the Westminster Kennel
club show, in 1892, when he scored irsts
in the puppy, open and special classes. He
has since won the American Mastiff clubs
challenge cup upon six occasions and has
never been beaten at a show. Beaufort,
his sire, was leased from his English owner
by j. L. Winchell of Fair Haven, as a
stud dog for 1890 and 1891. Mated with
Greda he got the American champion,
and, after being seen at the New York
show in 1891, was sent back to England.
Beaufort's Black Prince was sold recently
by Mr.. Winchell to Norman Higgs, the
British fancier. 1t is understood that the
price was $1,000. Beaufort's Black Prince
is dog of great dignity, with particularly
fine head and mask. American fanciers
will watch with interest to see whether he
wins as many honors abroad as he has in
this country.

THE SALARY RAISED
WILL PAY COUNTY
ATTORNEY $4,000 A YEAR.
the Past-Cut I'm Pay OF Another
Official. ~ ~

The County Commissioners have In
creased the salary OF the county attorney
TO $500 a year. Heretofore the Office has
paid 5000, with an extra allowance. While
Arthur Brown held the position, the Com
missioners allowed him 500 each year for
his work before the State Board Of Tax
Commissioners and the County Board of
Equalization. This made the ONCE worth
about $500. In adding the extra 500 to
the county attorneys salary, the commits
sioners believe they will save the county
money each year. For the last five years it
has been the custom to employ additional
counsel where the county attorney sug-
gested il and a good deal Of money has
been paid out in this way. In 1891 Van
Vorhis & Spencer received $500 for assist
ing I'm the collection of delinquent railway
taxes. The place OF county attorney was
then held by w. w. Spencer. Recently A.
Green Smith and his law partner were paid
800 for preparing a brief in the gravel road
cases which are before the Supreme Court.
After this contract had been made, there
was no great surprise when Green Smith
wrote 10 the board anu asked for an extra
county attorney viii, under the increase OF
salary, be expected to perform all of the
duties OF his office and no extra allowance
will be made.
The board decided, yesterday, to reduce
the salary Of the assistant superintendent
getting $50 a month. Ten dollars will be
taken from his pay and added to the salary
of the assistant custodian of the court
house, who has been receiving $50 a month.

Sick people want energy. They seldom

the reason. It's simple enough as we have

What they ought 10 do Is 10 save their

This they can do BY using artifc.aily d.

THE CHILD NOT ACCOUNTABLE.
Not to Blame Because It's Mothe

NOt 10 Blame because Its Mother
Might Have Been Careless.
Judge Baker, OF the United States Dis
trict Court. yesterday handed down an
opinion on a motion TO strike out a part
Of a complaint, which holds that the con-
tributory negligence of person in charge
Of an infant cannot be pleaded by the de-
Tense in a suit of the chad for damages
sustained on account of the negligence OF
others. The opinion was in the case Of
Pearlie Berry, by her next friend, against
the L. E.. & W. Railroad Company. The
child Is only seven years old and was in
jured by one of the defendants trains
while in charge Of her mother. When an
answer was filed, the plaintiff moved to
strike out that part of the complaint that
stated that the child was In the care OF
her mother. The motion was fought by the
defendant. Judge Baker holds that the
child cannot be held accountable for the
negligence OF it's mother and quotes from
Beach on contributory negligence:
Where a donkey is carelessly run down
in the highway, where he Is negiigently ex-
posed the defendant is held liable. and
though oysters are negligently placed In a
river bed it is an injury redressable at law
in damages for a vessel to disturb them.
II appears. therefore, that child. were he
an ass or an oyster, would secure a pro-
lection which is denied him as q human
being OF tender years"
