The Story of a Lost Dog and Two
Disappointed Urchins.

He was a particularly unattractive
specimen of the canine race; his coat
was a dingy yellow, his forelegs de-
scribed a wide curve, and his tail was
extremely abbreviated. When they saw
him first it was on North Clark street.
and he was describing eccentric circles,
with his nose to the ground, evidently
trying to follow some one.
"Hello!' said the boy with one sus-
pender. That's Miss Sweeting's dog,
sure es guns. I seen her coaxin'' him
along down town this morning. Won
der how she lost imp"
Dunno said the boy whose hair
protruded from a hole in his hat. "Tell
We what-less take i'm home n strike
'er fer a quarter"
The idea appeared to be a good one,
and a dingy assortment of bits of
string was produced and knotted into a
continuous rope, which was attached to
the animals collar, in spite of the fact
that he followed his captors Willingly
Shell think we've had more trouble
if she sees this string" said the boy
s Tifh one gbe sqs eome down ne heaq aenf if n she's
a time to think he's gone fer good
this time"
It was growing, dusk when two dis.

marked the boy with one suspender, in
aBetcher life. Say. mebbe her hus-
bandit be home, n if she's cried enough
he'll give us a half stead o. a quarter.
Don't let m loose now. or he'll go in by
hisself."
They led the dog, now barking wildly,
nm fine front steps and rang the bell.
Here's the lady's dog" said the boy
whose hair protruded from q hole in his
hat, as the maid answered the bell
We've been chasin' him mos all after
noon to git him home
Just then from the parlor came a glee-
full feminine voice: yes. I've succeeded
in losing him this time for sure. though

The afternoon session of the ccnven-
ton of the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union of Hudson County was held
in the Sunday school room of the First
Presbyterian Church, on Emory street,
Yesterday. Mrs. Emma Bourne, State
President, gave her idea of a model w.
C. T. U. meeting.
Mrs. Bourne said she would never al
low a meeting to last longer than one
hour. 1t might be five minutes short Of
that time, but new five minutes longer,
because the members generally had
household duties to attend to and should
get home in time.
Mrs. Bourne said she would divide the
hour into three periods of twenty min
utes each. The first twenty minutes
should be devotional, the second for bust
ness, and the third a temperance pro
She said the deyotions should
be in charge of a different woman each
time, there being a two-fold object IN
this-it varies the exercises and teaches
the member self-confidence.

sioner S. w. Lamoreux, of the General
Land Office, today submitted to the

port. There was a decrease in the num-
Der of original entries of land OF 3,0l6,-

swamp land patents over last veal of
106, 615 acres; 1870 acres were patented

ents for other purposes there was an in
crease over last year of 10, 408, 1872 acres.

Surveyed lands, 313, s37, 1888 acres; unsur-
veyed, 2S5, 245,6 COZ acres, making a total

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4, 1s95.-Colonel Patrick
Melody, of this city, left here two weeks ago
to attend the conference of friends of Ireland
at Chicago last week. Mr.. Melody was seen
at the Auditorium Hotel on the opening day
of the conference, out since then nothing has
been seen or heard of him, n his friends
are becoming alarmed for his safety. Colonel
Melody spent several years in a British
prison for being connected with an alleged
dynamite plot. He was well acquainted
with the New York delegation to the recent
convention, and 1t was supposed he had
joined them on their return to, New york,
but kilograms from those delegates state
that they lave seen nothing of him since
the opening of the conventions Colonel
Meledy is about sixty-ive years Of age, gray
haired and gray mustached. His right

MgXIoo,s INTERSTATE TARIFF.

WASHINGTON, Oct. A, 1895. United
States Consul General Donnelly writes the
Department of State from Laredo, Mexico,
that the amendments to the constitution pro-
posed by the. Minister of Finance, having for
their object the abolition of the interstate
tariff duties, known as the "Alcabala" are
now before the Mexican Congress now in
session.
The amendments, he says, seek to over
throw an evil centuries old fixed by popular
habit and prejudice and backed by powerful
official interests.
If passed and enforced our trade will be
greatly increased as these laws ave hurt
our relations with Mexico more b those
of any other country. Their effect has been
to check emigration and to keep out Ameri-
can enterprise and capital.
