AlcohoIIc nreafcine for CattIe.

The use of alcoholic beverages as a
medicine for cattle and horses is common
enough in some parts of the kingdom,
says an English journal. A short while
ago an applicat tion was made before a
Welsh licensing session for the renewal
OF an eff-license for a place bearing the
somewhat outlandish name of Bryn-y-
Bual. The applicant stated that the house
in question was situated in an agricultural
district and was a great convehtence for
the farmers to get beer for their cattle in
times of sickness. Speaking generally,
there is no apparent reason why alcohol
should not be just as valuable in the treat
nlent Of certain morbid conditions in cat
tie as it undoubtedly is in theshieher ami
NAL. man. The principle of stimulation
as an active therapeutic agent applies
with equal cogency to both classes of
marnnsalia. II is one, however, that is
likely to raise regular whirlwind of com
motion among the teetotalers, who, as
body. are not given to attach much i'm
portance to purely scientific censidera-
tions. A new field might open itself TO
that excellent class of reformers in the
discussion of such an abstruse point as

and Citizens.

Principal Rhinehart of Public School
No. 20, Greenvjlle, a few weeks ago as
sembled the pupils in the large assembly
room and after telling them of the past
year of hard times in the commercial
world, informed them he wished TO-
with their help, provide for the worthy
poor of Greenville good Christmas din
ner.
The Principal suggested that they save
their spare pennies until Wednesday be-
fore Christmas and on that day he told
them to purchase some eatable and bring
it to the school. Second hand clothing,
he informed them, would be acceptable
The good Principal also enlisted the
sympathy of number of the charitable
people in that section, among them was
Mrs. Hudspeth-Benson, who is well
known throughout the city as most
charitable lady, and they proceeded to
work for the good cause.
Last evening, when word had been
sent out that all of Greenville's worthy
poor We're requested to appear at No

markable.
the basement of the school were simply
packed with canned goods, meats, sugar,
butter, ttea, coffee, hats, caps, second
hand clothing and everything to cheer
the hearts OF the poor. 1t seemed as if
every person in Greenville had made
some donation.
Among those who are entitled to praise
for his thoughtfnlness was Mrs F. W.
Bussing, who owns the Dessieated Cocoa
Nut factory on Wilkinson avenue In
addition to sending a large quantity of
clothing, he also gave twenty-five pounds
of granulated sugar and a large quantity
of meat.
AS late as ten o'clock the unfortunate
came in large numbers and some were
seen to wipe away tears of gratitude
when leaving with large baskets filled to
the very top. Janitor Kimmerly and Mrs
Hudspeth-Benson attended to their wants
Great credit is due for this great work
to Mrs. Hudspeth-Benson, the Misses
Brown, Principal Rhinehart and the chl!-
dren of the school.

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 24. 1896.-The State
Railroad Commission has granted per-
mission to the New York and Brooklyn
Railroad Company to construct tunnel
railroad between the cities Of New York
and Brooklyn. At the request of counsel
appearing in opposition and the counsel

Board states that this Certificate is grant

Tunnel Company, or the Brooklyn. New
York and Jersey City Terminal Railroad
Company, which companies also were
formed to construct like tunnel railroads
from points between the two cities other
than those chosen by the New York and
Brooklyn Railroad Company
This condition is made part of the
present application with reference to any
contention that might be made hereafter

was today granted permission to con-

The Board has denied the application
of the Brooklyn Bridge, Prospect Park
and Eastern Railway Company for per-
mission 10 construct about thirty miles
OF street surface railroads in Brooklyn.
This road contemplated Constructing lines
in territories where the Board thinks the
railroad facilities are now sufficient for
public travel. The read is a separate
corporation, If constructed were to

In denying this application the Board
says:-..It may be said in relation to
Brooklyn as was said in the decision in
the Buffalo Traction case, that if addi-
tional railroah facilities are required by
public convenience and necessity they
can best be secured by extensions of
existing street railroads systems

afterwards lie down on the stairs and

Last night. however. he fell asleep on

eleven o'clock. He was taken down
