DOG CATCHER ON DECK
AWoman Whistles to Her Pet
Canine and Is Arrested.
SYMPATHY FOR THE PARIAHs.

why Couldn't the Police Act as an Aux
Hilary to the Canine Grabber Is the
Questions Asked BY Citizen who
Thinks the Society is In Small Business.
When the City Council passed, on
February 16, 1865 the law known as IAN
ordinsncs to prevent annoyance from
dogs" It recognized that the dog catcher
would be very unpopular official and
would meet with lots of interference on
the part of owners and possibly from
those whose sympathy with the canine
pariahs aud contempt for their would be
capturer, might lead them to'obstruct his
work. aud fixed a penalty OF 50, In cases
where such obstruction was proved, one
half OF which Was TO 60 to the informer
During the time that the dog catcher
was an official appointed by the mayor,
there we're many instances whers be was
obstructed IN his attempts to catch dogs,
but to his credit be IL said that he old
not take advantage OF the opportunity
to secure the half fns, but Instead,
made all the more strenuous efforts 10
catch bis prey-snd generally succeeded.
Since the Society for sthe Prevention Of
Cruelty TO Auimals has succeeded to the
several cases in Municipal Court The
latest was when Annie Lsonard, who
resides ever Third street bridge, WAS
arrested for interference It seems that
Dog catcher Kopf and his assistant

The assistant got out his net and began
working for position, and had reached q

whistled to him and he sought
refuge In the house. Kopf de
manded that shs give the dog
up, but she affirmed that she didn't at
that time know where he was. aud Kopf
reported her, whereupon the society had
her arrested. Even the judge smiled As
he heard Of the desperate attempt to
interfere with the cfiicers Of the society
and merely assessed c,sts on Mrs
Leonard, warning her at the time that 1t
was dangerous to keep a dog unregis
tered
Said a man who heard the case: 1.-THE
soclsty is in swell business and should
put a think valve on its dog-cstcheIs l
saw an occurrence at Eighth and Tatnall
yesterday, which may develop into like
case The catchers we're after a dog
there, but the pup was sly and gave the
men a great old game OF hide and
seek There wEs an interested crowd
watching, and a near by storekeepsr
opened his front and rear doors TO allow
the dog, when hard pushed, to seek
refuge The dog got away, and ! am
looking for the storekeePer or the sympa
thizlng crowd to be arrested for not aid
ing the catcher in place Of the dog
By the way why not have the dog
arrested for refusing to surrender The
police now have the task Of registering
all the CANNES, aud It would take little
mora Of their time to help the dog
catcher out. l would suggest that the
police commissioners establish dog
catchers auxiliary corps. The officers on
duty while not looking up drunks,
thieves and other mslefaetors could keep
their eye on dogs

Initial Steps Towards Securing an
Appropriate Gift for Her.
The Navy Department has named
one of the new gunboats built
at Newport News after this city,
Wilmington, and 1t is but fitting that
the good people of this city should take
cognizance of It, Other cities have done
honor to themselves and their namesakes
and Wilmington should not be behind
hand.
With this object In view, the EVENING
JOURNAL has started a subscription list

silver service for the United States
gunbost Wilmington. The money re-
ceived will be acknowledged In these col
umns and held subject to the orders Of
committee of citizens which will
be selected later.
