TRUE BLUE,

One of the aldermen is reported as saying that 1t Is unfortunate that two of the papers which publish the street sprinkling advertisement are under practically one management. It is cer- tainly incongruous It will be remem- bered that when the two papers came under one management it was announce ed by that management that there would be no change in the policy of the morning annex. That policy has been and is Democratic. So we have the cheering and improving spectacle of a Republican management" which hugs the Grand Old Party in the evening and stabs 1t in the back or wherever else 1t can hit 1t in the morning. And this, like much else in this town that Is now under rather critical examination, passes for true blue Republicanism.

PROPERTY IN DOGS.

Those who Hove" dogs will be pained | by the fact that the United States Supreme court doesn't seem to think that they amount to much as property. | A Newfoundland dog was killed by a | street car in New Orleans and his | owner sued the company for damages.
 It happened that the dog was not on
 the assessment rolls, so the case turned | on the validity of the Louisiana statute recognizing dogs as personal property only when registered and assessed.
 The owner claimed that the dog was
 property, whether he had been assessed | or not, and that damages were due
 him on that ground. But the United States Supreme court has decided
 against the dog owner and il. favor of the constitutionality of the law. The court says: The very fact that dogs are without protection of the criminal
 laws shows that property in dogs is of an imperfect or qualified nature, and
 that they stand as it were, between
 animals ferae naturae in which, until subdued, there Is no property, and do-
 nestle animals, In which the right of
 property is complete. They are not considered as being upon the same plane with horses, cattle, sheep ana other domesticated animals, but rather
 in the category of cats. monkeys, par
 rots, singing birds and similar animals
 kept for pleasure, curiosity or caprice. | UnNke other domestic animals, they are
 useful neither as beasts of burden for
 draft nor for food.

Articles of scientific or Historic interest brought to light in the course of exca- vating the tunnel become the property of the canton in whose territory they are found. On the completion of the whole or part of the line the company is required to expend at least 100000 in erecting and equipping a permanent ob- servatory on the summit for the pur- pose of assisting meteorological, tellu- ral and other forms of physical re- search; and it must contribute month ly subscription of 1,000f toward the ex- penses of the undertaking. This, in conjunction with a series of meteoro- logical stations at different attitudes along the line, will give Switzerland an observatory of the very first rank. Fi- nally, the government reserves to itself the right to buy out the company after the lapse of certain number of years. The legal fare from Scheidegg to the summit is fixed at 40f. There was some opposition to the construction of the line on the ground that it would spoil the beauty of the mountain, but this ceased when 1t was learned that, ex- cept for very short distance, the road would run underground. As the ascent will be made in one hundred minutes 1t has been asked whether even persons in good health would not suffer serious ly from the sudden change from a com paratively low to an exceedingly high altitude and its diminished atmospheric pressure. Medical authorities answer ed this question by stating that rarefl- cation of the air, unless accompanied by the effects of exertion and fatigue, will not produce mountain sickness"
 and committee of the Swiss Alpine Club declare themselves to be perfect ly convinced that, given a means of be- ing conveyed to the summit without any kind of muscular exertion, persons In good health and of sound constitu- tion have no evil consequences what ever to fear from a short sojourn on the top of the Jungfrau.''

4 SILYER OUESIION.

The capture by United States detec- gagged in the manufacture of American silver dollar coins brings to the surface again the startling fact that silver coins which only experts can distinguish from true money are being unlawfully made and put in circulation. The sil- yer in them is as nearly as possible of the same weight and fineness as that contained in the coins made in the mint That this was being done on large scale was reported to congress last Jan uaryby the director of the mint and by the chief of the secret service, and since that time the secret service has been alert to discover the haunts of these counterfeiters. Some days since an ar rest was made in Chicago of couple of counterfeiters who seemed to be operat- ing in a small way, and this has result ed in very much larger find at Ben ton Harbor, Michigan, where a. large l plant for the coinage of silver dollars has been successfully captured, togeth- CT with the men engaged in the busi- ness. What further developments will follow this arrest there is, of course no means of telling, but what has been captured is but small part of what Is supposed to exist, not only in this coun- try but in foreign countries The di- rector of the mint quoted in his last re- port an extract from the Boersen Zeit- ung of Berlin, showing that the coun- terfeiting of silver coins on large scale by producing perfect and in every de- tail exact limitations of the legal coins, is being carried on. The coinage, of the Netherlands has greatly suffered in this way. Counterfeiting plants have been established in eastern China and their product smuggled into Java from China English coins have also been counterfeited at these irregular hints, and two shilling pieces put in circula- tion that could not be distinguished from the genuine even by experts
 A silver dollar in which there is less than fifty cents worth of silver offers a strong temptation to some people who want to make money.

FASHION NOTES.
In Hnts seeing,s Relieving.

Green and purple are combined with good effect in many of the hats now be- ing worn. and take note, there is an especial value about fashions hints that tell what women are actually wearing, and that are not confined to the startling creations of window dress CTS and the inventions of hard pushed designers. A very pretty and quiet hat, worn by woman whose black gown was lined with purple and whose deep purple cloth jacket was lined with delicate green, was a sailor-shaped green chip with rather low crown. Set on the edge of the top of the crown in front was a long narrow bow that zig gagged, one loop and end being high in the air, the other just passing the edge of the brim, a little at one side of the front. Set in at the edge of the

crown in front was a single black plume with heavily dropped tip. This bent softly to the right of the hat, the bow of the brtm were set three great punches of perfect violets that looked actually dewy. They were punched as the florist punches them, and were set in thick natural colored leaves At the back were masses of leaves and more violets were under the brim. Nothing could have been more taste ful and quiet, yet here were violet, purple and bright green combined.
 Another happy union of green and purple was presented in the hat shown herewith. It was green and white satin straw, somewhat like the sailor shape, but turned up a little in back. In front were green missiles and purple lilacs, and from the back there rose a large bow of purple silk ribbon and a cluster of lilacs and their foliage. There are really great many more of these com- binations that a woman realizes. They are made with such good taste that no one is startled at sight of them, while to read about them without hay ing seen them is to believe them hope less bad taste.
 The frill falling about the edge of the brim is an effect suitable only for a garden hat, and should not be rushed into, for it is entirely too picturesque for city wear. Paradise plumes still wave, but they are not as exclusive as they. were, and women have found out how wild they look when they take to waving on their own account.

A method pronounced absolutely suc- cessful for preventing the freezing of water in gas pipes has bsen originated and employed by Dr. Bueb, the chemist of the Continental Gas company of Dessau, Germany. Dr. Bueb's plan consists simply in the introduction of alcohol fumes into gas mains where they leave the gasometers. The neces- sary apparatus for the production of alcoholic fumes and their introduction into gas mains being provided, the quantity of alcohol applied is regu- lated by the flow of gas, only infinitesi- mally small quantities being necessary; at a temperature of about 15 degrees, Fahrenheit, five drams of alcohol are found to be sufficient for each 1000 feet of gas.
