the majority.

Even the makers of stockings boldly assert

A slipper used judiciously will often

TRACY WILL INVESTIGATE
DR.. Furlong's Treatment Of Mr..
Hough Will Be Looked Into.
Emergency Officials and the Patients
Friends Decline to Discuss Last
Nights Incident.

Tho article in to-day's Morning Times
relating to the treatment of Pliny NJ.
Hough by DIR. g. n. Furlong, of the Emer-
gepcy Hospital, last night, at the wharf of
the steamer Macalester, has occasioped
considerable comment in Masonic circles.
The article stated that upon the arrival
OF the boat at her wharf call was made
for the Emergency Hospital ambulance to
take Mr.. Hough to his home, as he was
thought to be seriously Ill. Mr.. Hough
went to Marshall Hall yesterday on the
shriDers' excursion. Before leaving, he
had been feeling the effects of the heat of
the day, which grew worse. When the
ambulance arrived, in charge of Dr.. Fur
long, Mr., Hough was unconscious. Drs.
C. T. Caldwell, W. E. Handy, and F. j.
man, who had been with the excursion
party, attended him.
A request was made that the ambulance
take Mr.. Hough to his home, No. 929 g
street northwest, but to this Dr.. Furlong
objected, and said under the rules of the
hospital, he would be obliged to take him
to that institution.
Mrs. Hough insisted upon bis being taken
TO his residence, but her appeal was of no
avail. Finally the ambulance started with
Mr.. Hough TO the hospital. Mrs. Hough
was allowed to accompany her husband
When the ambulance reached the hospital
O number of the friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hough had preceded 1t, and after con-
sultation with DR.. Smith, the resident
physician, by DR.. Furlong, permission was
given to allow Mr.. Hough to remain at the
hospital, but the ambulance would not be
was procred and Mr.. Hough removed to his
residence, where q number of his friends
were in waiting.
A reporter for The Times called this after
noon at Mr Hough's residence, but was
unable to sec him, as DR.. Caldwell had
directed that no visitors be allowed in his
room to-day. Mr.. Hough is confined to bis
bed and the doctor thinks after few days
rest he will be fully recovered. DR.. Fur
long was also seen by the reporter. He
said the statement in The Morning Times
was correct, but he simply carried out the
rules of the hospital. He had nothing FUR
ther to say.
The attention of Col. Tracy, the super
intendent of charities, was called to-day to
the story published in The Morning Times
of the controversy concerning the use Of the
Emergency Hospital ambulance for con-
veying Mr.. Pliny n. Hough from the Mac
alesters wharf to his home, and he said he
had the matter under investigation. He ex-
poets to collect this afternoon all the infor-
nation that can be gathered, but declined to
discuss the affair in advance He did not
wish TO express an opinion upOu the merits
of the controversy.

of the Trees.
The Municipality Can Do Little and
the Work Therefore DevOlves
Upon the People Generally.

The Times Tree Protection League has
started out under promising auspices. The
response has already been large and from
the present outlook its roll of membership
will be large.

parks and reservations are under charge
of the General Government, and as has

only qualification for membership is prom
ise to care for the trees in front OF your
residence. Simply sign the accompanying

Burros Have Good Horse Sense.
The Mexican burros have good horse
sense; they know in a "dry and thirsty
land" where to- dig for water. Acorrespond-
ent describes their close observation of the
surface of the ground and, subsequent dis
covery: I'VE had found in an, arroyo a
sufficient quantity Of water to make coffee,
when we observed three burros searching
for water. They passed severM damp
places, examined the ground closely, when
the leader halted near US q nd commenced to
paw a holefn the dry, hot sand with hisright
forefoot After a while he used his left fore
foot. Having dug a hole something over q
foot in depth, he backed out and watched it
intently. Toour surprise it soon commenced
to fill with water. Then he advanced and
took drink, and, STEPPING aside, invited,
1 think, the others to take drink; at ali
events they promptly did SO. and then went
away, when we got down and took q drink
from their well. This water was cool and
refreshing; much better. in fact than we
had found for many q day.'!Pittsburg

AGAINST THE WHISKY TRUST
Justice 0'Brien Denies Injunction
to Restrain Sale Of Distilleries.
To Stop the Sale of Seventeen Distil-
leries Would BE Equivalent to Re-
organisation of the Trust.

New York, Aug. 19.-Justice O'BrieD,
in the Supreme Court, to-day handed down
decision denying the application for
an injunction to restrain the sale OF seven
teen distilleries of the old Whisky Trust,
which was to have taken place tomorrow,
and the sale will be held as contemplated.
The decision was rendered in suit
brought by Frederick W. Anness and
George II. PyDchon, who o wn 10 900 shares
OF the Distilling and Cattle Feeding
Company, commonly known as the Whisky
Trust, to eDjoin the reorganization COM
mittee from purchasing the seventeen dis
tilleries OF the Trust, which, under decree
of the courts of Illinois. are to be sold at
auction in Chicago on August IA.
Samuel Untermeyer and Louis Marshall
appeared for the plaintiffs, and the reorgani-
zation committee was represented by Nathan
BLUE of this city, and Judge Thomas A.
Moran, OF Chicago, who drew the complaint
upon which the old organization was de-
clared Illegal by the supreme court Of Hi
nois. Counsel for the plaintiff, in present.
ing the case reviewed the history OF the
whisky trust and declared that they wanted
to enjoin an effort at reorganization, which
was nothing more than rehabilitation OF
the old trust By the reorganization agree
n,ent the new company to be formed was
to have q capital stock OF $36 900 900,
Just the same as the old =, and the stock
holders were 70 get share for share in the
new company.
The reorganization committee had Of
fered an upset price, So, 500, 900. for the
seventeen distilleries, which had passed
into the hands of the receivers, and the
committee would get all the assets OF the
old trust by the decision OF the court ut
that figure, unless higher bid was made.
The assets which It. was intended to capt.
talize at $35 200 zoo, were not worth
more that $1O.OO0.OO0, and counsel said
1t was an.in1ustice to the stockholders to
water the stock 30.
The defendants declared that the plain.
tiffs were mere dummies, who were act
ing In the interest of ex-President Green
hut and ex-Director Morris. OF the old
trust, who, 1t was claimed. had been work
ing to prevent the reorganization.
Judge Moran laid stress on the fact that
the Chicago courts had virtually ac-
cepted the bid of the reorganization COM
mittee, provided no higher bid was Of
fered
The courts of Chicago, it was conteuded,
had considered that If all the distineries
were sold in q lump a large sum would
be realized for the stockholders. oppo-
sitiou had been made in the Chicago courts
to the acceptance of this bid on allega-
tious similar to those made in the present
case 1t was claimed there that the bid
was made by the same meu who had con-
n, to1 fho fri The ChiCa
cided that the law could not presume
that these bidders were going to use
the property for unlawful purposes.

American sympathy Tor Cuba.

1t is undeniable that the sympathy OF
all true Americans goes out to Cubans in the
campaign they are now so brilliantly
eaging against Martinez de Campos and
his Spanish regulars. Here III the United
States, among the majority Of citizens,
the conviction is firmly planted that the bel
ligerency of Cuba should now be openly ac-
knoweledged by the government. That
such step must eventually be taken there
is little doubt. Public opinion, SO powerful
upon this side of fthetAtlantic, is now aroused
to the justice of this cause, if not yet to its
expediency.-CubaL Libre.

CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES.
Subjects OF Three Nations Interested
In the Cause.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 16.-The claims
of Andrew McKinsley and the heirs Of
Patrick Shields against Chile are again
attracting attention. The men were sail
ors on the American ship Kewsnawa, and
in 1891, while in Valparaiso were brutally
beaten by the Chilean police Shields af-
terward died from his injuries. The
claims for damages against Chile by the
United States were not allowed, il being
found that the men were British objects.
Lord Rosebery championed their cause,
however, and another tribunal, composed
Of German, British and Chilean subjects,
is now considering the claim. The de-
murrer OF the Chilean government states
that the police records OF Valparaiso con-
tain no mention o. the beating of the sail
ors. Ii is alleged that the sailors had
that day drank a bottle OF pale beer, and
that possibly their minds became cloudy,
so that thsy imagined they had received
injuries, when in reality they had not
been hurt at all
