RACE WITH A TROLLEY CAR.
A Wandering Dog Makes Test of
~ His Speed.

A Wandering Dog Makes a Test OF
His speed.
1t is not often that u dog insists upon
the right of way in opposition to an
electric car. but this is what small
black dog did on Fullerton avenue on a
recent afternoon, and for a considera-
BILE distance held doggcdly to his way,
despite the changing of the car gong,
the shouts of the motorman and the
rumbling of the car which at times
threatened to run him down.
His appearance did not convey the
impression that he was extracting any
particularly enjoyment from the affair,
but, however that may be, he kept the
track directly ahead OF the car tor near
ly mile, and when he did finally draw
off it was evident that weariness was
the impelling motive.
There was something about the dogs
actions. however, that suggested that
he thought he possessed quite as much
speed us the car, and was anxious to
try conclusions with it, for from the
moment he bounced on the track
ahead of the car until he finally drew
out of the way he maintained an ex-
ceedingly high rate of speed. In fact,
for a considerable distance he easily
held his own, but after about mile had
been travelled he began to lag little.
Then the car began to draw nearer to
him, and little further on began to
crowd him, but he l,eld his way and
never once looked behind
Soon he began to show signs Of dis
tress. His tongue protruded long
way and he faltered occasionally, but
still he showed no signs of quitting.
The clang of the cars gong and the
shout of the motorman attracted the
attention of people along the street.
who stopped and viewed with amused
interest the strange race. Several times
it seemed as if the dog would certainly
be run over, but at the last moment he
would let out another link and draw
out of danger.
Whether he had completed the dis
tance he had laid out for himself. or
concluded that the car was too speedy
for him. must be a matter of conjecture,
but, in any event. Just before Clybourn
avenue was reached he pulled of the
track. stopped moment. shook him
self. gave glance toward the passing
ear and walked over to the sidewalk,
where he lay down and rested, with
every evidence of satisfaction with him

THE STAMP TAX.
The Senate Reaches Agreement with
Little Opposition.

The Senate Reaches an Agreement with
Little Opposition.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The senate
yesterday made good progress in dis
posing of two amendments to the tariff
bill, that of placing a stamp tax
being agreed to with little or no OPP
position and without the formality of
a vote, while the Spooner amendment,
proposing a tariff investigation, was
withdrawn after a protracted struggle.
The stamp amendment as agreed to
fixes the following rates on bonds,
etc: Bonds, debentures or certificates
of indebtedness issued after Septem Der
Is, 1897, by any association, company
or corporation, on each hundred dol
lars of face value, or fraction thereof,
five cents; and on each original issue,
whether an organization or reorgani-
cation, of certificates of stock of any
such association, company or corpora
ton, on each hundred dollars of face
value or frac ton thereof, five cents;
and on all transfers of shares or GER
tificates of stock in any association,
company or corporation, on each hun
dred dollars of face value or fraction
thereof, two cents" Exemptions from
the stamp taxes are made in the case
of state, county and municipal bonds,
and the stocks and bonds of compare
tive building associations.
