4 Fine-LOOlsinE Lot.
The bull terriers in the show are a fine
looking lot and are the life of the place, so
to speak John Whean. proprietor of the
Central Park Kennels, New York. who Is
known as 1.-THE bull-terrier man." probably
knows more about the animals than any
other dog fancier in the world. His ac-
simultaneously began with them In Eng
land years ago. and has continued since.
He is recognized as the best "cropper' in
the country.
Il have cropped the ears of 1900 or 5000
dogs he told Star reporter this morr,-
ing. Il give the animals ether, and from

ears are trimmed only a minute and Il
half is consumed. Each ear is cropped
with only one clip by the shears 1 have
made for the purpose, and the animal eX-
periences no pain whatever.
"A bull terrier would not be recognized
unless they are cropped properly the beauty
of the dog is greatly deprecated, and its
value made less. Just look at the differ
ence between the ears of the dogs" he
suggested to the reporter. On approaching
the bench the aural appendages of some of
the terriers stood up like bayonets, while
those of others turned over and made the
"dog-eared' appearance SO familiar to
school boys
Mr.. Whelans "Tommie Tickle took first
prize, and is known to be splendid speci-
men. He is valued al $1,000.
1t is amusing to watch the dogs when
they are being exercised in the ring. The

apparently making 70 distinction. AS soon
as a newcomer is put in at the gate the
others look ii over curiousy, putting their
heads together. as If sizing up the

ASSAULTED AN OFFICER.
Walter Wallace Convicted, but Sem
tence Temporarily Suspended.


Walter Wallace was today convicted be-
fore Judge Kimball OF assaulting and
striking Policeman Narrower. and sentence
was suspended until the court could have
surgical examination made of the wound
which Wallace received at the hands of the
officer during the encounter.
The evidence showed that Wallace and
George Brown last evening had an old
sailor In tow at the corner of New Jersey
avenue and d street northwest. officer
Narrower, who was in citizens clothes,
ordered the men away from the sailor.
whereupon Wallace assaulted the police
man, striking him in the face. Brown also
interfered with the policeman. Narrower re-
sponded with a blow with his baton. which
swelled Wallaces right eye to large proper
tions, and he then arrested both and took
them to the sixth precinct station. Brown
was released on collateral, which he today
forfeited, and Wallace was removed to the
Emergency Hospital, where he received
treatment and later was returned to the
station house.
During the trial Charles Fowler, colored,
a witness for the officer, made the remark
that Brown, who today was a witness for
Wallace. had threatened to kill him.
YES" answered Brown, land / will kill
you yet"
Judge Kimball at once fined Brown 500
for contempt Of court. Wallaces case will
probably be disposed of during the day.

The colored preachers of
Baltimore simultaneously
preached sermons on the in
gratitude of the republican
party in not giving some of
"the pie" to the colored
brother Of Maryland, AS
they are $4,000 strong In
that state and carried it for
the republicans in 1895 and
1896, they think they are
deserving of some recognl-
tion. Some Of the preach
ers told their Congregations
to vote''the democratic tick
ct. If they follow this ad-
wise, or even refuse to vote
at all, Maryland will be safe
ly democratic. Negro Post
masters are appointed in
states where tkeir votes are
worth nothing. as in Arkan'
sas and Georgia, merely to
insult W h i t democrats.
Why not appoint a negro
postmaster IN Baltimore
where the negro vote is val
liable, or say at Canton, o.,
in W hich state over 80, 600
negroes voted the republican
ticket?- Elk.

What can a young man
promise himself who begins
life either as a drunkard, a
liar, a thief, a lazy do-noth-
ing, or a gambler? He may
lull his conscience into slum-
Der by pointing around him
at kindred spirits and excuse
himself on the ground that
he is not the only student n
the school of crime and
vagabondage, but that is
poor comfort to those friends
and relatives who have
watched with loving care
from the cradle to manhood,
hoping always that in the
beginning of maturity a
character would be develop
ed that would repay them
for years of love and devot'
ion. There is no sadder
picture on earth than the
one presented by the christ
ian mother whose years of
sacrifice have been rewarded
