from this game the dispute arose. This

Mayo deliberately rose. and, drawing a

Diamonds In an Extinct Volcano.

by an explorer in the mountains OF Wit

extinct volcano, on the edge OF a lake that
occupies the crater, soundings revealed

Ii would be interesting to know whether
these diamonds were there accidentally
that is. as the result OF washing opera
lions carried on by the natives. or
whether this discovery corresponds TO an
actual mine OF diamonds. for the hills of
Witzies Hook are not situated in regions

ANNOYANCE FROM DOGS.

The question OF the annoyance caused
by the worthless dogs about the city en-
gagged considerable of the boards atten-
ton. and a vigorous protest was made
against the somewhat prevalent idea that
the society fosters and protects these
animals.
While it is the object Of the society to
prevent cruelty and to relieve as far as
possible the suffering Of animals, 1t Is
extremely active In Kidding the streets
of homeless and diseased dogs. Many
of the animals are in miserable condi-
ton. and not only annoy the public, but
live In constant sickness and pain. To
such helpless creatures death is an act
of mercy. The report book of the society
shows a monthly average of about sixty
dogs humanely destroyed. 1t will thus
be seen that the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals is doing much
to put a stop TO this nuisance.
A resolution was adopted recommend
ing the erection of watering troughs
at Eighteenth and Dock streets, Ninth
street between Main and Cary streets,
and at the rear of the office of the Old
Dominion Iron and Nail-Works, near
Virginia street
After the transaction OF other business
the meeting adjourned.

In another case the agent found

considerable injury. This occurred near

SUGAR BOUNTY.
Caucus Of Republican Senators to Decide on
Its Reintr0duction.

washington, July GA caucus Of Re-
publican senator's has been called for
today to consider the advisability Of re-
Introducing the beet sugar bounty
amendment.
The decision to call the caucus was the
result Of series of conferences which
consumed the greater part of yesterday,
but which developed such divergence of
views as to make it Quite evident that
only in a party conference could the
bounty question be settled in a way to
bind all.
At one time 1t appeared that the
finance committee would reintroduce the
beet sugar amendment in response to the
representations Of the advocates of a
bounty. The senator's holding the view
that this was the proper course to pur-
sue, based their arguments upon the
ground that the last Republican sena-
torial caucus had decided In favor Of
such a bounty This brought out the
fact that there had been comparatively
few senators at the caucus when the vote
was taken, and that some Of the alb
sentees would not agree to be bound by
Its decision.
phe committee decided on account Of
tnlS COnIlCt 10 TcSuDIHit Tic idtteI W u
caucus.
IT appears probable that the caucus
will rescind the order Of the previous
session directing the committee to re-
port a sugar amendment, but the sugar
bounty advocates hope that at the same
time the Republican senator's will be in
structed to vote for the amendment as
offered by Senator Allen. They thus
hope to put the party In the senate on
record as for the amendment, while they
hvoid the responsibility for the delay
which they admit the amendment will
occasion.
The Democratic leaders still announce
themselves as unalterably opposed to
the bounty provision.

WHEN HOGS ARE RIPE.
Information Obtained by Jerry Rusk From
Western Farmer.

Information Obtained by Jerry Rusk From
Western Farmer.
Governor Rusk happened to drive over
the state line once into Wisconsin, looking
at the farms. He was particularly struck
with one farm, on which he found every
thing in first class order, and riding up to
the house he inquired the name of the own
er, when tall German came out and gave
his name as Theodore Louis.
"What do you regard as the greatest
wealth producing agency In agricultural"
tho governor asked him.
"The hog" was the sententious reply.
"Upon what do you base this state
mentP"
"He lifts more mortgages than anything
else.''
The conversation which ensued developed
the fact that Louis had once been what is
called an all wheat farmer, and kept con-
stantly sinking into debt. He decided that
something had to be done quickly or there
would be very little left for Louis, SO he de-
cided to try the hog. The first year he
made little money, the second year he
made more and then he became thorough
ly interested. The result was that he be-
came recognized as a great authority on
hogs. His neighbors took up his example.
and mortgages began to be lifted, until
finally there was not one on record against
that community.
"How long would you keep a hogs"
asked Governor Rusk.
"I would not keep him-I would XIII
him."
"WhenP"
"When no Is ripe"
"When Is he ripep"
"When he Is fat"
"wouldn't it pay to keep the hog foi
two or three ycarsp"
