The Judge and the Dog.

A dead set by a street car made a
dead setter of dog that was standing
on the track setting birds. In an action
against the street car company, Judge
Wilkes OF Tennessee, holding that his
pedigree might be proved, said: This
particular dog killed is shown to have
had what in dog circles is regarded as
blue blood and among these he be-
longed to the inner circles of the 400
q member of the F. +. It's or First
Families of Tennessee In addition, he
was of English descent. His sire was
Champion Tribulation, by imp. Beppo
III, out of imp. Champion Lass of
Bow His dam was Dicks Sue, by
Dick, out of Ida Heath etc, for as
many generations. 1t is fully shown
that on both sides the ancestry is
traced back to the best of English no.
bility blood in dog circles. 1t
is attempted to show that this dogs
descent may not have been entirely
pure, and it is intimated that he may
have had terrier blood in him, but the
only foundation for this inference is
the fact that he 'tarried' so long on the
track when the car was approaching.
But it appears from the record that it
is characteristic of the pointer when
he sets to- become obliviouS to all
earthly surroundings, and the bluer his
blood the more absent-minded he be-
comes on such an occasion"

Child.

st. Louis, Sept. 19.-Mrs. c. H. Beard,
a show woman, whose stage name is
Madame Rosita. and two children,
Leta and Grace Beard. aged respective
ly II and IL years. who are known on
the stage as the Franklin sisters, are
under arrest at the Four courts. The
woman is charged with abducting the
girl known as Grace Franklin from her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Nation
in Elwood, Kan, over two years ago.
A few days ago some one saw the
children and became impressed with
the conviction that the younger, Grace,
was not the child of the woman, but
was the child of Mr.. Nation. He COM
municated this information to Mr.
Nation and the police were notified. A
good description of the child was sent,
together with several birthmarks on it.
This information led to the woman's
arrest. Mr.. Nation is on his way from
st. Joseph. Mo. to Identify the child
Mrs. Beard is a typical gypsy She
said that at various times officers had
tried TO get Grace from her, but she
had foiled them every time. She
claims the child is her own.

FRIARS OF THE PHILIPPINES
CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP SAYS
THEY MUST GO.
A Razcally Set of Plotters, Who Have
Caused Much Trouble-opposed to
Spanish Rule.

Manila, Sept. 1S.-In an interview
with him by the correspondent of the
Associated Press. Archbishop Dosal Of
the Philippine islands said: Il earn
estly hope the islands will not remain
Spanish. because the rebels are now SO
strong that such a course would in
evitably cause appalling bloodshed.
The conquest of the natives is impos-
sible until after years Of the most cruel
warfare"
He also expressed the hope that the
islands would not become absolutely
independent, because it was certain
that dissensions would occur which
would result in incessant strife and a
LAPSE into barbarism and the ma
tural Incidence of the tropical race.
The only hope, the archbishop declared,
was that a strong western power would
intervene now. Delay was dangerous,
because the people are intoxicated,
vainglorious and restless.
He said 1T was undeniable that the
religious orders must go, because the
whole ueOple had determined to abol-
ish them now that they were able to
render their retention impossible He
laws the chief blame upon the Domini-
cans. Augustine and Franciscan Rec
ollets, the richest orders, and next
upon the Benedictines and Capuchins
which are of less Importance. The
Jesuits, Archbishop Dosal says, are
comparatively blameless. He added
that the rival orders quarrel among
themselves, intrigue, act unworthily
and SANDER their opponents, thus in
creasing their general disfavor. The
provincials, who are approximately
equivalent TO archdeacons, are mainly
responsible. They are utterly beyond
the control of the archbishop, who de-
MES possessing much power.
The total number of Spanish priests
in the Philippines before the war was
about LOCO, but lately every departing
steamer has taken so CT 100 of them
away, and now barely 80 remain.
A native priest privately stated to the
correspondent that the reason the arch
bishop hopes for the expulsion of the
friarly orders is that they have grown
too powerful for him and that he
wishes to strengthen himself. Several
responsible Spaniards assured the cor
respondent that they would refuse to
remain here if Spain was reinstated in
the control of the islands. Many of the
Spanish soldiers refuse to serve again,
and Spanish officers are utterly dis
gusted with the rottenness Of SPANS
government, and prefer to become
American subjects.
The annexationists have a majority
OF II in the national assembly, but the
discussion of the subject has not been
finished

Found the "Speak-EasY.0


Special Policeman Richie prides him
self upon his acute detective instinct,
says the. Philadelphia Record, and so,
when an anonymous letter reached the
station a few days ago. giving vague
Information of Speak-eaSy, he started
out confidently to locate the place. The
writer limited that the Illicit refresh
ment shop wasn't "a hundred miles
from Franklin and Spring Garden
streets" Richie actually put in a
good days work upon the case, but he
could find nothing suspicious about any
of the houses in that locality. That
made him mad, and as the anonymous
letters continued to come in, he deter
mined to locate that speak-easy if it
took him all summer. Lieutenant Full
mer, too, began to take an interest in
the case. and one day recently he
started out with Richie, under the i'm
preston that two heads are better
than one. They wandered all about
the neighborhood for an hour or more,
and wound up at Franklin and Green
streets. A little church stands there,
and in passing 1t Richie cast a casual
glance at the name upon its wall. He
Immediately made a remark that
seemed quite out of keeping with the
scene. What are you swearing
about?" asked the lieutenant. We'll,
amt you next YETI" retOrted Richie,
disguStedly. The lieutenant was quite
in the dark as to his meaning, and said
so. There's your big and fiourishing

the church. The lieutenant read the
little sign-board near the church door:

off without looking back. He was lost
IN a hay cycle dream, and paid but lit

CORPSE or MURDERED WOMAN
UNIDENTIFIED REMAINS SENT
BACK TO BRIDGEPORT.
Contest Between Police Officer and
Undertaken - Grace Perkins Re
CARDS the Whole Affair as Joke.

Middleboro, Mass, Sept. 1S.-After
much telegraphing and telephoning, a
member of the Bridgeport police OBJ
tanned possession of the womans oooy
found in Yellow Mill pond from Frank
Perkins, who had mistaken it as that
of his daughter, Grace. The town was
scarcely awake this morning when De-
tectiye George Arnold of the Bridge
port police arrived. The first thing he
did was to call on Undertaken Williams,
who brought the remains of the I'M
known woman to Taunton last night,
and request that they be delivered to
him. Mr.. Williams informed the de-
tective that he intended to hold them
until he received definite orders from
the coroner at Bridgeport to give them
I'D, supplemented by sworn state
ment-from Mr.. Perkins that the frag-
ments of the body in the box were not
those of his daughter.
At noon q telegram was received
from the coroner addressed to Under
taker Williams, and containing an Or
der to give up the body to Arnold. Mr..
Perkins was induced to sign the state
ment demanded by the undertaken.
With the two documents, Arnold again
presented himself at the undertakers
and obtained the body, which was in
an advanced state of decomposition.
Miss Perkins appears very much con-
cerned regarding the whole affair, and
looks on it as more of joke than
anything else. She kept indoors all
day, and although the house was well
surrounded by curious people, few
caught even a glimpse of her.
The Bournes are even closer-mouthed
than the Perkins family, although de-
nying emphatically that the two are
married The family have intimated
that at the proper time q statement
will be made as to Charles Bourne and
Miss Perkins.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 18.-Mrs. John
r. Thomas of Warrior Run, this coun-
ty, received a dispatch from the chief
of police at Stamford, Conn, that her
daughter Grace was alive and we'll in
that city. This was a great relief to
Mrs. Thomas, who had been led to be-
lieve, from the description furnished,
that the woman found murdered in a
pond at Bridgeport was her daughter.
