WHEN BASEBALL is OVER.
City May Proceed Then with the
Street-Car Litigation.

The eitys attorneys in the street-railroad
litigation are moving slowly, or, rather, are
not moving at all as yet, in the matter of
asking for a dissolution of the Showalter
injunction in the 3-cent-fare case. However,
there is little or no doubt that they will
do so before long. City Attorney Curtis
was found at the ball game yesterday after
noon after considerable search, thoroughly
enjoying the drubbing the home team was
giving "Chimmie" Manning's men.
'Have you asked for a dissolution Of the
street-car Injunction" was asked.
Nope, not yet" he replied absently
"Whoop Did you see Dibbie gather that

morning that it be taken direct to the Court
of Appeals"
"Nope--now line er out, Hogie; we've got

do that. Well file it in the Federal Court
here-good eye old man-and then let the

A MAD-DOG SCARE.
Four Policemen Pump Lead Into an
Animal Running Amuck.

A supposed mad dog ran amuck near the
corner of Pennsylvania and Washington
streets, yesterday at noon and caused
much excitement during the brief time that
he escaped the bullets OF the four police
men who attacked him. The dog came out
Of Washington street and turned north on
Pennsylvania. He was running slowly and
swapping at everybody he passed. He
turned into Court street and attacked a
boy, who warded him Off with huge
basket he was carrying. Patrolmen Asch,
Dugan and Bolen by. this time caught, up
with the dog, and Asch put five bullets
into the animal without killing him. Du-
gan then took two shots at the dog, and

ended the animals life by firing two more
shots into him.
The dog was shot close to a brick wall,
so that the firing of the policemen was
done without great danger to people in the
vicinity. 1t was said afterward that the
dog was not mad; that some one had
poured acid on him. This theory was men
toned to one of the patroImen who helped
kill the dog. He said well, that may be
true; but a policeman can't stop to exam

Miss Alice woods,s sketches.

A number of sketches by Miss Alice N.
Woods are being shown at Lieber's. on
South Meridian street. Miss Woods, whose
talent as an artist was first cultivated in
this city, has been spending the past season
in New York studying at the Art League.
The studies are some recently made. They
show delicacy and character. One study is
of an old Spaniard, two are Of young ladies,
a fourth is q. shepherd boy and fifth is an
initial. The faces are real portraits and
the lines of the draperies are broad, clear
and distinct and never petty. The softness
of the faces and the lights and shades are
exquisite examples of the artists gift A
study from life in oil is separate and dis
tinct from what is shown in the pencil
sketches, and the flesh tints are admirably
reproduced. Miss Woods is one of the most
promising of all the young artists who
passed through the Art School.

Henry w. Beneficial his friends call
him "Harry''-encountered some things in
his late canvass for school commissioner in
the Tenth district that opened his eyes to
some effective methods of practical" pol
itics. Both Mr.. Bennett and his opponent
spent good deal of the time about the
voting place on Martindale avenue last Sat-
urday. At one time in the afternoon a
common friend of Mr.. Bennett and a
physician introduced the latter to the can
didate. After the usual compliments the
doctor inquired:
Are you any relation to the candidate
Bennett, Mr.. Bennett?'
Mr.. Bennett was a little surprised at the
question.

claimed
look of surprise animated the doctors
features.
What, are you the candidate?" he asked.
''You are not the man they pointed out to
me. Let me see,' said the doctor, glanc-
ing over the crowd of men about the polls
There is the man they pointed out as the
candidate
Mr.. Bennett could scarcely conceal the
disgust he felt. His friend turned his face
to hide his amusement. The doctor
glanced at the candidate and then at the
other Individual contrasting their appear
ance.
Leaning against a maple in the school
yard was a man that might have served
as prototype for Hoey's "Old Hoss." A
large red nose was prominent above two
weeks growth of beard discoored at the
corners of the mouth with tobacco which
he was chewing complacently. From his
rusty trousers and coat to the nondescript
hat perched on the back of his shaggy head
he was a typical picture of the heller
of the old bloody s'teenth" ward. Work
ers of Mr.. Benefits opponent had been in
dustriously circulating among prospective
voters inquiring in whispers: Have yeZ
seen de canddate?'
When any replied that he had not seen
Mr.. Bennett, the man in old clothes was
pointed out. The industrious workers Were
always careful to insist pointing out
the other candidate before leaving their
victims
Mr.. Bennett realized that the political
aCumen of the genius who brought to light
this unique scheme deserved recognition
and, although conscious that it had prob
ably worked his candidacy considerable
harm, the amusing side of the situation
appealed to him.

A Chinese New Ysar,a

Chinatown of San Francisco was
keeping holiday. and all was gaiety and
hustle.
The narrow. picturesque streets were
decorated with brightly-colored Ian
terms, while overhead above the roof
tops, the yellow dragon-fiags fioated
against blue California sky.
1t was n sunny day in February; and
the streets were swarming with a null
dtude Of Chinese-men, women and
children-all arrayed in their richest
holiday attire. The children especially.
with their bright faces and black eyes,
and in their pretty costumes, formed a
most pleasing and interesting feature
Of this living Oriental picture.
Everybody seemed to be happy and
good-natured; and ever and anon, as n
group Of friends met, they stopped and
amid much ceremonious bowling ex-
changed the compliments of the season:
for this festive occasion was nothing
more nor less than the celebration Of
the Chinese New Year.
The idea OF celebrating New Years
DAY IN FEBRUARY may strike some of
my readers as odd But, since this has
been the Chinese custom from time i'm
memorial, and is older, by several thou
sand years, than our acceptance OF the
first Of January as the proper time, the
Chinese, perhaps are not far wrong
in supposing themselves to be at least
as much in the right as ourselves. This
question, however, was OF no concern to
this merry holiday throng. They were
quite satisfied with the Arrangement;
and, with the utmost belief I'm their own
superiority, they felt at heart an Unborn
contempt-common to all Chinese-for
outside barbarians.7 This term en-
braces all nations not living within the
