TO SHELTER DUNN ANIMALS.
Humane Society Wants to Protect
Them From Cold


The members of the humane society
are agltating the building of an ami
NAL shelter in st. Paul where animals
may be cared for when injured or de-
serted by their owners. This move, it
IS said. will probably lead to the society
coming into control of the pound. in
which case ST. Paul dogs will go to
their little hereafters in a more humane
manner than that in which the erst-
while dog catcher has been in the habit
of sending them. The society held a
special meeting yesterday in the relief
rooms and discussed various things
mostly the membership cards which do
not read right. That Is to say the
cards are dated from the present time
to the annual meeting in February
and after that time till the next can
vass- by Mrs. Cause the new members
who have recently paid their 81 mem
bership fee to the society are no longer
members. having been such for only a
couple of months, and so far as any
one can figure out, the humane society
is without members entirely following
the annual meeting So the cards are
to be made to read: For the next
fifteen months ending May l. 1897" The
annual meeting will eventually be
changed to meet the requirements of
the case as February is too early to
make the spring canvass for funds.
The matter of an animal shelter will
be placed in the hands of Messrs Flu
gate, E. A. Jaggard, Father Lawler and
Mrs. A. J. Stone. Father Lawler has
signified his willingness to do anything
he can to aid the society, and Judges
TWohy and Orr have also promised
financial aid after the holidays. The
society is gaining new ground every
day in st. Paul owing to the visit OF
Mrs. Cause. who is all enthusiasm.
Mrs. Cause reported $517 collected this
year, over two-thirds of the amount of
the year before. She wished to make
q close canvass this year, and said
that the next should be made early in
the spring. She spoke Of the increase
of interest, and said that it was due
in a great measure to the press.
She was rendered a vote Of thanks by
the society for her work this year.
Mrs. Perry Of $50 Wabasha street,
made a few remarks, in which she said
that Mr.. Hutchins had told her some
time ago that the membership fee to
the society was ST. This Mr.. Hutchins
interrupted the lady to deny, and said
that that was absurd. Mrs. Perry paid
no attention to Mr.. Hutchins, but told
of many abuses about the city which
she had witnessed personally, and re-
marked to Mr.. Hutchins that he had
not been very prompt In remedying
them She spoke particularly of the
pony belonging to MCGUIRE Brothers,
which has caused the society more OF
less trouble at various times owing to
the fact that it's owners have a habit
of leaving the little beast standing all
day at the side of the street, some
times, it has been said, uncovered and
unfed Mr.. Hutchins said the animal
was fed now, he felt certain, but that
If any one would swear that they
had found the horse uncovered or un-
fed all day he would be only too glad
to take it into court and prosecute the
parties The matter Of new badge
was not taken up. as Mrs. Severance
asked for more time. collection OF
articles of torture taken from people
in ST. Paul was displayed in the rooms.
Three new names were added to the
educational committee, Miss Day, Prof.
v. c. Curtis and Mrs. Severance. The
others on the committee are Messrs.
Abbott, Hoyt, Fugate and Jellett.
