THIS DOG CAN READ
So His Owner, the Rector, Solemnly
Declares

Middetown, New York.-The Rev. Daniel
j. Evans, rector of Grace Church, this city,
Is owner of a red Irish setter named Rab,
which he insists can read the name plates
on bicycles.
The dog always starts out with Mr.. Evans
when he goes for ride on his wheel, and if,
as frequently happens, he gets separated
from his owner, he makes the round of the
places that the rector is likely to visit in
search of him. Failing to catch sight of
his owner, the dog will devote his attention
to the wheels that may be left standing
along the street. A glance at the wheels as
he trots along suffices. but if the rector's
wheel is on the street.-the dog never fails to
spot it. He has been known to pick the rec
tors wheel out of dozen or more in front
of the postoffice, and after locating it, Rob
will lie down alongside of it and patiently
await his owners coming.
Some who have seen the dog running his
eyes over a lot of bicycles and picking out
the right one, are inclined to believe that
his sense of smell rather than his knowl-
edge of name plates helps him to pick out
the right wheel.
The rector insists that the dog reads the
name plates, and in support of his conten-
ton cites the fact that while his wheel was
being repaired and he was riding borrow
ed wheel of another make, with the name
of which the dog had not familiarzed HIM
self, the dog was not able to pick out the
right wheel.

Where Silence Is Most Pronounced

| No other city is as quiet as Berlin Rail-
way engines are not allowed to blow their
whistles within the city limits. There is no
loud bawling by hucksters, and a man
whose wagon gearing is loose and rafting
is subject to fine. The courts have large
discretion as to fines for noise making.
Strangest of all, piano playing is regu-
lated in Berlin. Before a certain hour in
the day and after certain hour in the
night the piano must be silent in that
musical city. Even during playing hours
fine is imposed for mere banging on the
piano.
In Paris it is only during the carnival and
on fete days that the sound of the French
horn is tolerated At other seasons it is
vigorously prohibited by the police.
German intolerance of noise is not re-
cent thing. Wallenstein, who demanded
absolute quiet, had 100 houses torn down In
Prague and sentries posted all around in
the distance to secure silence. There is a
tradition that still further back in time a
Bohemian shepherd, seeing the monk
Adelbert asleep, blew on his pipe in mis-
chief. The monk called down the curse OF
deafness on him.-Syracuse Herald.

THE SHAH A WEAK RULER
Already Brought His Country to the
Verge of Dissolution

The new shah of Persia is an indifferent
ruler. 1t was, for Persia a favorable omen
that his accession to the throne in May,
1896, after the murder of his father, Nasr-
ed-Din, was effected without riot and blood
shed. But, after nineteen months of rule,
Muzaffer-ed-Din seems, by his extravag-
ance and weakness, to have undone all the
good that his father did and brought the
state to the verge of dissolution. Shiraz,
the great city of Southern Persia, appears
from Teheran, and it may be conjectured
that in Ispahan, the true capital, there are
many who would prefer their old governor,
the Zil-es-Sultan, to his younger and far
less competent brother, who is now on the
throne. The shah's apparent failure was
not unexpected. Dr. Wills long ago de-
scribed him as being weak both in mind and
body, and, though Mr.. Curzon some years
since took a more favorable view of the
unknown quantity" which, he thought,
might turn out somewhat of SURPRISE
1t was generally felt that the older and
more experienced observer was more like
ly to be right. But it is very unfortunate
for Persia that Muzaffer-ed-Din should
have failed. His father was q brutal des-
pot in many ways, but he gave Persia the
strong government which she needs, and
| checked every attempt on the part of either
priests or officials to make themselves in
dependent of the central power. A weak,
disorganized Persia must not only be a prey
to anarchy, but 1t Is also a perpetual
temptation to Russia, and, therefore, a
menace to the general peace.-London

London Markets

NEW YORK, April 4.--The Evening
Posts London cablegram says:
The markets here today opened strong
on the report that the pope was mediating
on the Cuban affair and on the opening OF
Chinese ports by England. Spanish tours
rose to 51la. A general reaction rose on the
disbelief that the pope's mediation had
been sought by the United States. The
buying of Americans was rather extensive
today, but it was not influential. In con-
nection with the weakness of the London
discount market it should be observed that
more American bills are Offering.
Cape gold to the amount of $500 900 was
bought today for shipment to New York.

IAN injustice to one is menace to all.

Quite number Of the local fire insurance
agents are worked up over the attempt
of a diminutive and comparatively I'M
known company to walk away with the
insurance upon city property, which will
DO renewed during the current month. The
company in question, which halls from Vir-
ginia has made q bid which Is cents per
S10O lower than that Of the Northwestern,
+ whose bid was below the board rate. The
awarding of this insurance is in the hands
of tho finance committee of the council,
and ii is not likely that those gentlemen
will ignore the many respectable firms in
the insurance business here, representing
the strongest of all companies. In case
of loss. the city must know that collection
will BIO easy. If the Virginia company is
to be judged by its representatives here it
will not have the confidence of business
men. Up to the present writing 1t cannot
be ascertained that the Virginia concern
has even complied with the law and OBJ
tanned license from the state commission
err authorizing 1t to do business hero. If
1t has obtained such license 1t must have
been issued within the last few days, as
we are informed.
AS shown by the preliminary report of
State Commissioner Clunie, it appears that
sixteen insurance companies of all classes
were admitted TO transact business in Cali
fornia during 1897. These were the Ameri-
Can Credit Indemnity and the Merchants
Life Association Of, st. Louis, the German
Alliance, Assurance Company Of America,
National Standard, Niagara Fire and
Bankers Life Insurance Company of New
York, Home Life Assurance of Detroit,
Nippon Sea and Land of Japan, Teutonia

THE thought occurred to US while
listening to the Typical orchestra at
the opera house last night, that it
would be q good idea to get up a sub
scription series Of concerts by this or
chestra during the winter season. The
military band Of the McGinty club is
all right for the outdoor concerts OF
the summer time, but the band is not
1t all suitable for indoor work and the
alleged orchestra as II is conducted at
present is not worth paying to hear.
But the Mexican orchestra is q musical
organization, and as such deserves to
have the cordial support OF the public.
IL is unfortunate that il Is not more
oftcn heard in concert, for there are
none who do not appreciate such music
as this ne band is capable Of making.
We believe that with little effort a
series of concerts could be arranged,
to be supported by subscription,
that would be far more enjoy
able TO many OF our people
than the very inferior thea trical
performances that too often delude Ell
Paso into paying out good money for
worthless goods, and besides being a
credit to our city would be entirely
self sustaining. One such institution
at this, upon q firm establishment,
would do more TO raise the standard in
musical matters in this city than any
other one thing.
