PLEADS FOR CATS and Dogs

Tie Commissioners of the District were
not long ago the recipients Of cCmmunica-

An kinds of dogs, the communication re-
cites, .'are thrown in the wagon and the
small and timid ones are therefore cruelty
treated by the larger and ficrcer ones.
"It is reported that only recently the
society declares, 1.-The dogs got to fighting
and one was very badly hurt"
This communication in due time reached
Health Officer Woodward, who returned
an elaborate report.
III. as is stated" DR.. Woodward says, "a
great number OF such animals frequent the
streets OF the city, the matter has not come
| under the observation of the employees of
this department, nor has any complaint
been received in reference thereto. Oc-
casionany complaints are received as to
! the number of dogs running at large in the
county.
Experience has demonstrated. however
, that il is practically impossible to impound
such animals In view of the easy means of
escape afforded them by running under the
u;
DR.. Woodward then refers to the alege,
feline nuisance, and disclaims responsible
/ ity for that infliction, also. Nor can he
| suggest a remedy for the evil He says the
| cats which prowl around back lots andov
| fences and sheds are, undoubtedly, frc
! quent sources of annoyance. And when. il
what era of the world, We're they not?
| No attempt has been made heretofore to
! impOund such animals" the health Officer
| explains. because of the limited appropria

! imposed upon that service by existing law
/ and re gulatious."
| A denial is then entered TO the charg.
that the ''sr3ail and tImid'' dogs are abuset

officer comedies that the method OF convey
ing them to the prison may not be an idea

says, which is barely sufficient to meet tn

FOOLED THE CLERK.
Girl Under Age Sent Deaf Mutes to
Get Marriage License.


st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 9-AccordiDg to the
story told by john L. Gill, mute, living
at 464S Eastern avenue, Marriage License
Clerk Bilhartz was imposed upon when he
granted a license 10 William Williams and
Jessie Gillaspic, pair of mutes-
on september 81 tho pair called at the
courthouse for a license, and after being
sworn and answering all the questions sat
isfactorily. the license was issued They
gave their ages at twenty-onc and eigh-
teen. rcspcctively, and stated, by means or
a pencil and paper, that they would be
married that night.
1t now appears from the story toiu py
Gill that tine mutes who secured the IL
cense were not Williams and Miss Gil
laspie, hut Peter StudenhOrdt and Mrs
Mundeville, and that the genuine Will
Jams and Miss Giilaspie are not nutes.
GIL says that William Williams Is only
nineteen and Jennie Gi!laspie but sixteen
wears of age. and, owing to objections Oh
the part of tie girls parents, they were
unable to secure a license. Williams then
dec ,,led 10 have some older persons imper
senate the girl aud himself and secure the
license for them. He decided that deal
mates would answer the purpose hcttrrtltn
any Que else, as they could not be asked SO
many questions and could more readily &C;
the license.
Williams, SO Gill claims, offered Studen
bordt to work the little game for him
which Studenhordt agreed to do. Gill said
yesterday that after the mutcs obtained
the license, on September II they turned
it over to Williams, and the youthful pain
got married that night, at els Benton
street.
The way tie facts leaked out, according
to Gill, is that a week ago he met Studen
bordt on the street, and the latter made
merry over the manner III Which i,c had
cheated the marriage license clerk. Gil
sa.is lie does not Tx. To see any one cheated
SO lie came To the courthouse To expose the
imposition practiced by the mutcs.

NOVEL FLOOR TREATMENT.
inexpensive Floor Firishings in
Parer, EnameIs and Paint.

The last new thing IN floor covering Is
paper. That is. the floor is laid with a
paper initiating or representing grained
oak, parquetry, tiles, mosaic pavement or
what not. The process is as follows: The
floor is first sinoothed, then two or three
layers of newspapers. saturated with flour
paste, are applied, made smooth and left
to dry. Then the wall paper that which
represents grained oak being prefcrred-is
glued down on the substratum of newspa-
pers, and after being gsiZeiis varnished. The
chief recommendation OF paper flooring is
its cheapness, for a room noS used for much
traffic it will answer a purpose. 1t will
not do il there is any dampness about the
floor.
Enameling is another novel process for
treating floors, bat it differs from paper
ing IN that it is rather expensive, reGuir-
ing. as it does, several coats of paint, with
vigorous intermediate rubbings down with
very fine glass paper. The ordinary en-
amels sold in the shops are not to be rec
omncnded for this purpose as, from the
nature of their composition, they are apt
to crack and chip.
EbouiZing for floors can be easily done
by boiling logwood chips in water-one
pound Of chips to one quart Of water
till the liquid is well colcrcd. Apply this
to the floor evenly and carefully, giving
second application if the boards are
close textured. When this is quite dry
apply in a similar way strong solution
OF sulpha te of iron in water a good cbemi-
! cal ink. like tlaCk will be the result. which,
after sizing. may be varnished like any
! other stain, or, preferably, it may be
polished with beeswax and turpentine. The
| tlnlier surface so given is better, artisti-
! ucally speaking, than the glaring, shining
| surface given by a varnlsh, at any rate
| where black stain is used. Apropos to
| a iloor stain, and which pretends 10 he
| varnish as well, and in which the varnisll
| is spirit as opposed to an oil varnish, is
mistake in SO far as floors are con
cerned. 1t may answer for some arti.
| clcs of furniture, butts not durable enough
| for floors. To an oil varnish suitably col
| ored there is no objection; but a stain, sub
| sequently sized and varnished. is best.
| 1t is mistake to size the floor before
staining 1t, although some people prefer
so doing 1t may save little stain, but
there is the certainty of the stain and
! the varnish peeling off eventually in flakes
where there is much wear.
