it provided that railroads could fix their

led to the conclusion that the commits

contention Mr.. Morrison disputes, and
says the bill as now framed, gives the

Their Responsibility.
Washington, Jan. S.-Secretary Herbert
to-day issued general orders to naval
officers reversing the former practice Of
the department regarding the RESPONSE
biHty Of pilots on board warships. which
will render it impossible hereafter TO
shift the blame for injury to a vessel
on the pilot. as was attempted in the
cases Of the Columbia last spring and
the Cincinnati last November. The order
is as follows:
The accident 20 the United States
steamship Cincinnati. upon the occasion
of her striking ground on the eastern
side of the shoals to the south and west
of Execution Rock lighthouse. Long
Island sound, on Nov. ~ last. renders
il expedient that the department pro-
mitigate to the service its views with
regard to the responsibility Of pilots on
board vessels of the navy.
4 pilot is to be considered merely as
an adviser to the commanding officer.
and his presence on board naval vessel
shall not relieve the commaning officer
of such vessel, or any or his subordinates
from full responsibility for the proper
performance of the duties with which
they. or any of them, may be charged
concerning the navigation Of the vessel.

DYElNG THE BURGLARS.
Queer Punishment Inflicted on Couple q
Midnight Marauders.

Queer Punishment Inflicted on u Couple OF
Midnight Marauders.
A good story is told by German pa
per Of the way in which dyer treated
two burglars whom he caught in his es-
tablishment, as they were in the act Of
making off with some valuable dyes.
Mr.. S., the owner of the color works,
Is often engaged in experiments late
into the evening, and occasionally
spends the night In the chemical labora-
tory, which opens into the room where
the great dye watts are.
The thieves made their visit, as It
CHANGED, on one of the nights when Mr..
s. was sleeping at the laboratory.
He is naturally light sleeper, and a
little past midnight he was aroused by
the sound of voices in the vat-room.
He saw the flash of light, and suspect
ing thieves arose quietly from his sofa.
took his revolver, and, concealed in the
darkness, watched the movements of
the two men. He saw that each bore a
package of new and. valuable dyes.
Thinking that matters had progressed
far enough, he stepped forward, cooked
his revolver, and said, quietly: II have
use for those dyes. You'd better
leave them alone"
The thieves, taken completely by sur
prise, dropped their plumber and started
to run, leaping from the side of one vat
to the next. In the darkness one Of
them miscalculated the distance, and
fell headlong into an indigo vat; and
his companion, hearing the splash.
glanced back to see what had occurred,
lost his balance, and toppled into the
same vat.
"That's all right" said Mr.. S.,
half ocosely, as he stepped to the edge
of the vat and covered the thieves with
| his revolver. II won't grudge you
enough of that indigo to dye your
clothes and your skin. You needn't
hurry about getting out. We must give
the dye chance to take effect"
For Is minutes or more he kept the
two men in the vat, where they several
times plunged beneath the surface of
the liquid, and came up spluttering and
choking, and finally begged for mercy.
"Well," remarked Mr.. S., good
naturally, 81 think you probably are al
blue outside as you feel inside, SO /
won't detain you longer. And now"
changing his tone to one of stern COM
mand, "if you don't want the police on
your tracks, you'll make yourselves
scarce in this town. Out now, and be
| off"
Without a word the two men climbed
out of the vat and FASTENED away.
A few days later friend from an adj
joining town called on Mr.. S., and
mentioned incidentally that two men
came to him and offered him five dol
lars to tell him what would remove in
digo stains from the skin. "rhey were
the bluest-looking fellows you ever
saw" he added. "They said they got
TO fooling in the dye-house, and fell into
the vat"

ANIMAL FRIENDSHIPS.
Horses, Dogs, Hens and n Lioness For
Queer Companionships.

Horses, Dogs, Hens and Lioness ForuE
Queer Companionships.
Why 1t Is that animals have such q
great dislike for solitude and have fits
of loneliness when shut up by them
selves away from any other living be-
ing is something no one has been able
to explain. Yet it is the fact that all
animals yearn for companionship, even
animals that are wild and fierce.
Remarkably strange and curious are
the friendships animals form. Horses
chum with cats, dogs with geese, and
there are two capital stories, one of how
horse and hen, the other of how q
dog and hen became fast companions.
The horse and the hen happened to be-
the only occupants of a large orchard,
and got to know each other and seldom
were to be found apart. The hens
fayorite method of showing her friend
ship was to approach the horse with .
caclsle of joy and rub gently against
his legs, the sagacious equine looking
down upon her kindly and standing
perfectly still in well-satisfied manner
as the feathered wings huttered about
his legs.
In one of the farms just over tho
border line of the annexed district q
hen became so chummy with valuable
retriever that she actually laid her
eggs and Matched her chickens in the
dogs kennel, and the four-footed beast
enjoyed it immensely. He would
guard by the hour the eggs, and later
the little chickens, and when he had
occasion to go in and out of the house
he would move with the greatest of
care so as not to disturb his feathered
friend.
Geese and dogs are apt to be very
fond of each other. There is n story Of
q goose that was rescued by mastiff
from the attack of fox and was so
grateful that it could not show the dog
enough attention. 1t left all the other
geese OF the farmyard and stayed by
the dog day and night, accompanying
him daily as he wandered over the
farm. When the dog fell i'll the goose
never once left the kennel, and in its de-
votion it would have starved to death IL
a handful of corn had not been brought
to 1t every day.
The friendship between the horse and
the stable cat has been many times TO
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1895-11-21

marked, and 1t is well known that IA
for any reason the stable cat Is killed or
taken away the horse will get inpatient
and nervous over it.
A remarkable case is on record of one
of the Derby favorites few years ago,
Galeopsis, who some months before the
race got into n state of positive melan-
cholia, which was rapidly pulling him
down. Veterinarians examined him
and found that his trouble was purely
a nervous one, brought about through
excessive loneliness. Nothing could be
done for him until shrewd stable hand
happened to suggest animal compan-
ionship. A goat and a kid were intro
duced into the stable with great sue
cess, and the race horse picked up SO
that on the day Of the event he was able
to make a fine showing.
An eyewitness of this describes
Galeopsis' satisfaction as follows: Gal
eopsis seemed to take much interest
in them until the goat died; but the
kid remained, and the horse now vastly
diverted himself by lifting the little
creature up by the back of its neck
with his teeth, putting it down in the
manger, carefully placing it on the
ground again after awhile and then re-
peating the operation.
There was once lioness In the Dub
lin geological gardens who had arrived
at an advanced age and was so feeble
that she was unable to drive away the
rats that used to annoy her by biting
her feet. The trainer at last evolved
the scheme of putting a good rat terrier
into her cage. She received the dog at
first with an angry growl and decided
symptoms of aversion, but as soon as
the little brute grabbed the first rat and
shook the life out of it she began to un-
derstand what he was there for, and az
once took q great fancy to him. She
coaxed him to her side, put her paws
around him and night after night
the little terrier used to sleep close up
to her, both in a state of mutual great
content.-N. Y. World.
