PARIS DINNER GOWN FROM HARpER's BAzAR
Doc whlprera In Chnrches.

IN former days almost every church in
this ncighborhood york. had an official
who discharged dog whipping functions.
1t was in many cases the sexton, though
sometimes person was appointed 10 tire
post who filed no other Office. In the
roign of Queen Elizabeth, William Dob.
son was the church dog whipper at kir-
n-ln-Lindsey. At the same place, in
lOoS the church wardens' accounts show
charge of 2s for whipping dogs, and as
late rs 1917 Robert Robinson was paid 6s
Sd. for discharging similar functions In
plan Of the seats in Alkborough church,
made in 1871, n pew near the south door is
marked "the dog whipper."
The dog whippor, however was not un-
known over the sea. A writer in The
Ecclesiologist for 1852 remarks, in regard
TO the Church of ST. Bavon at Haarlem,
that the windows OF the north aisle are

SanIpsOn's S Fleet j.

Washington, May 9.-It is now
p' actically admitted that Admiral
Sampson was with his fleet near
Cape Haytien on the north coast
of Santo Domingo, and distant
about days run from Porto Rico.
So far no reports have come to the
department of any Of the lurid
engagements that are said to have
taken place in those waters but it
is believed at the department that
if there was gun firing yesterday
and day before, as reported by
merchant vessels, it probably was
caused by some OF the United
States vessels chasing either prizes
or small Spanish gun boats that
are believed TO be cruising around
in those waters. 1t is not believed
there has been any engagement
between SIMPSONS forces and tht
Spanish iron clad flying squadron
else the reports would have bee,
received already at the depart
ment. From the expectation S.
plainly manifested at the nav,

The work OF moving the big Gems

as they are expected to do gives an
immense job to the railroads. The
first troops to get away will
probably be the infantry division,
composed OF the secord, seventh,
eighth, twelfth and sixteenth regi
ments. 500 passenger coaches TO

cavalry go to New Orleans, second
to Mobile; third and sixth to

department that something I'M
portant is TO happen very soon, 1t
is surmised at if SampsC r. does
not strike the Spanish flying
squadron he may strike a blow at
Pol 10 Rico itself. 1t is a, curious
fact that thus far the navy depart
ment does not know positively
where the Spanish fleet is, and it
just possible that the vessels may
be away over on the other side OF
the Atlantic or at Cadiz instead of
being in Sampson's neignborhood
in the West Indies. That such a
thing can happen is plainly shown
by the report from st. Thomas
that the Spanish cruiser Alphonso
arrived at Porto Rica yesterday or
the Gay before. This is formid
liable protected cruiser of modern
type and 1t has been supposed all
along that she was at Cadiz, form
ing part of the home def nst
squadron. The fact that she has
arrived at Porto I;ico without the
knowledge of her departure having
leaked out is evidence that thu
Spanish authorities are able t,
guard the secrecy of their nava
movements much better than ou1
own people are able to do.
