SHOT THE WRONG BRUTE.
A Human Tramp's Cruelty to a
Tramp Horse In an Old Stable.

Thomas Brennan, a tramp, Sc years
old, and a tramp horse, whose exact
age is unknown, but which looks as if
it was nearly as old as Brennan, slept
together in an old deserted barn at No.
A Washington street. Saturday night.
Towards midnight, the horse, which
a been taken to the barn and left to
die, commenced snorting and kicking.
WEARY Brennan was annoyed, so he
began beating the animal or the head
with a paving stone hammer
The horse kicked harder and snorted
louder, attracting the attention of the
police in the Third precinct police sta,
ton, on Oakland avenue, a few hundred
feet away. An officer was sent to the
barn and he ended the poor beasts ago
MES with a couple of bullets.
Wandering Brennan was placed under
arrest, charged with being a vagrant,
and with cruelty to animals. He was
committed for trial this morning by
Justice Douglass.

DERBY MASCOT TN OHANoBaY.

Vice Chancellor Emery sat alone in
Chancery Chambers this morning and
heard a number of unimportant motions.
John w. Queen, in behalf of Catharine
B. Davis, applied for an order restraining
John Harding from producing a play
called THE Derby Mascot, which was
recently produced at the Lyric Theatre,
Hoboken. Mrs. Davis alleges, in her
play and contracted with Davis to pro-
luce 1t and pay her SIS a week for its
use. This he has failed to do, which
Mrs. Davis claims is a violation of the
contract and grounds for setting it aside.
The Chancellor reserved his decision.

HyEicnic

The inventor is surely working in a
worthy III when he seeks to enable
us to enjoy the good things of this
life to the full without paying the
penalty which usually seems insep-
arabic from enjoyment. Tobacco has
been the source Of infinite pleasure to
man, but the deadly nicotine which
it contains has wrecked many a con
stitution. A philanthropic inventor
has conceived the idea Of rendering
the seductive weed %innocuous, while
preserving the qualities that soothe
and comfort the smoker. and, further
more, to make the use of tobacco alb
solutely beneficial to the health. He
proposes to do this by adding certa u
oils to the tobacco. The wording Ct
the invention shows that 1t relates to
Improvements in the manufacture of
tobacco, the desired object being to
destroy the nicotine or alkalojd con-
tanned in the tobacco, and at the same
time to impart to the tobacco valuable
medicinal and beneficial properties.
To this end the tobacco leaves are
treated with certain oils and essences
during the process Of manufacture.
If the idea of the inventor can be
successfully carried out the most Sc
rious objection to smoking will be re-
moved; another singular result would
be that hundreds of varieties of pipes
that have been constructed specially
to obviate the unpleasant effects OF
nicotine would be no longer needed,

Over,vork for the state.
st. Paul, May l. = Assemblyman
w. Il. Johnson received a telegram
from Rochester stating that ]. FIetch-
er Williams, eX-secretary Of the Min
nesota Historical society. had died
there. Mr.. johnson placed the direc-
tion of the funeral arrangements in
the hands of William Danpier. who
left for Rochester to bring the re-
mains home to st. Paul. The funeral
will be taken in charge by the Odd
Fellows.
Mr.. Williams death resulted from
softening of the brain. brought on by
too close application to books and to
his work as secretary of the Minneso-
ia Historical society. He was always
a devoted student, and, after working
hard over the books in the rooms of
the society, would go home and
study far into the night. The strain
finally proved too much and he gave
way. He spent the winter of 1923
in California in search of health. but
came back without having been bene-
fitted. He grew rapidly worse, until
last December, when W. R. johnson
was appointed his guardian, and he
was sent to a sanitarium in Miiwau-
kee. A few weeks ago ii became ap-
parent that nothing could be done for
him there, and he was brought to
Rochester, where he died this morn
ing. He leaves a wife and four chill
dren, n daughter. living with her
mother at the family homestead, 81
1glehart street. another married and
living in Milwaukee, and a son, Lewis,
in Denver.
