The Work of the Humane Society

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
I read with pleasure the article with ref
erence to cruelty to animals in your last
evenings issue. as manifesting the growing
interest in the work of our Humane So
ciety. A great part of the time of our
agents is devoted to looking after the
horses used In our public conveyances
Complaints come frequently to the office
from citizens Of cruelty and of stock to-
tally unfit for work. Two arrests were
made day or two since and fines imposed,
but often the guilty parties escape punish
ment, owing to lack of sufficient testimony
to satisfy the court. The stables are fire.
quently visited by the agents of the So
ciety. In one instance Veterinary Surgeon
Robinson accompanied our agent to the
Belt Line car stable, and together con-
demned some fifteen horses, stamping the
nOof and warning against their further
use on the line. With reference to the her
ole line the agents report the stock in
better condition than ever before. Inyesti-
CATION shows that horses are brought into
this city from Virginia and Maryland and
sold at bazaars as low as one dollar. A
lady member of our executive committee
spent several hours of two days at one of
these sales, and witnessed great cruelties
on horses unfit for any work
With reference to employing counsel to
prosecute CASES tAe society mas made ef-
forts to do SO, but find that the attorney
for the court, while willing to receive sug-
gestions, could not allow another to pros
ecute.
the public may rest assured that every
effort TO abate cruelty TO children or ami
mails is being made by the society. which
only exists for that ehject, and any sugges-
tions or help frem citizens or visitors will
be thankfully received and duly consid-
cred. ub
Sibyl WorthiHgton,dhas our thanks for
her kind words: resarding our work and
for her statement Of the cruelty she wit

Died at an Early Are.

The Shakopee Tribune of Feb. II says:
Martin Connolly passed from this life
last Thursday night at O'Clock at his
home near Spring Lake. Two wakes
were held upon the corpse on Thursday
and Friday nights, and it was entombed
in lie cemetery at Shakopee, services
being held at st. Mary's Catholic church
at hich Father Fleming delivered be-
fifth LIZ address. Deceased was 80 years
old at the time of his DEATH and of a
wes k constitution, brought on, as claim
ed, by excessive labor on his aged
fathers farm, where since his maturity
he has been an unseltish and kind as
sis ant and son. The death is a severe
blow to his parents and friends, and to
tn. first he had been all a son could be
ard to the latter true and good hearted.
He was brave and hopeful to the last,
and fought his fearful and malignant
d tsease with irdon1itable energy until
the end, when, like hero, he laid down
his arms and committed his body to
God.

At the Metropolitan.

A most enjoyable event in the
amusement line will be the appearance
of that excellent singing COMEDIAN, Mr..
John e. Henshaw and the Henshaw-
Ten Brock Comedy company at the
Metropolitan the last three nights of
next week. Previous engagements in
this city as the star member OF the big
organization that presented the pass
ing Show have made Mr.. Henshaw' s
abilities as funmaker quite familiar to
every patron of the play house.
The annual engagement OF SErancis
Wilson will occur at the Metropolitan
the first tire nights of the coming
week. The production in which Mr..
Wilson has scored his customary tri-
unaph this season is Half a King. y
which has everywhere been commented
ON as the most enjoyable of the many
productions of comic opera in which this
favorite artist has appeared.
The popular success OF this perform
ance has surpassed all previous records
in his career. Every member of the
company seems at home in his or her
part, There is a splendid unity in the
performance The production is spect-
acuaarly beautiful, and if there be any
thing wanting in the offering it has not
been up to the present time suggested.
A better or more acceptable production
than "Half King has proven to be is
not on record among Mr.. Wilson's many
achievements.
There will be no matinee during the
Wilson engagement.
