The, work through the year has been
to protect defenseIess, abused children
ana animals, and a few specimen cases
were given to show something of the
nature of the cruelty practiced. One
was that of a boy, fourteen years old,
VINO tled a cat to the limb of a tree
with a Wire attached to it's neck and
cut Off its legs. while the animal was
alive. The torture endured by horses
left standing uncovered on the street
In storm was spoken of, and ex-
amples given. The society still enjoys
the assistance Of the police force and
AASe~iI III .OCPdi members,
and mention was made Of the as
sistance rendered by the press, the
free services given by DR.. B. A Pome-
roy, and the work Of Attorney Samuel
Il. Hall and President Charles Steele,
who has been looking after the boys
who congregate about the theaters,
sending or taking them home to their
parents.
The finances have been well kept up
through the &C IF
Cause, state organizer. Since Jan. 15
there has been upon the streets an
agent, who has visited the stock yards,
Upper levee, the Transfer company's
barns and the commission houses and
when the pavements have been Slip
perry, given special attention to the
hills where loads We're being hauled.
Very little cruelty has been practiced
during the year as the statistics show,
and it is hoped that the cases will grow
less. S@i7f -
The foreign population is fast be-
coming Americanized, and as they do,
less cruelty is found to be practiced,
both upon animals and human beings.
