dogs enjoy. But he achieves what is great
ness for a dog. he enables his master to
live.
The Germans are a very thrifty people,
and believe in turning everyone to some ac
count. so everything that eats is made to
work. even to the dogs and the little chill
dren. L remember seeing, in passing
through the railway stations of small towns
in SaXony, where there was the usual
CrodW of spectators, that every small girl
was industriously knitting away on wool
en- stocking and only had time to glance
up occasionally at the passing train Ana
all the dogs, big and little, have to earn
their living: any morning you can see
them hitched to a little cart bringing In
the milk and vegetables to market. lhelr
tongues hang out OF their mouths ana II
Is easy to see that they work as hard as
anyone In Germany.
They are much cheaper help than horses,
for they only need little mat to sleep on,
and a very small supply of food VIII keep
them in working order. What saving
it would be If we could put all the useless
dogs in this country to work.

as a Witness.

Mrs. Mary Ellen Wymbes. Of Palisade
avenue, who has been in the City Hos
pital for nearly tive weeks. suffering from
stab wounds inflicted by her husband.
Frank Wymbes, was transferred TO the
County TAIL yesterday afternoon and
locked up as a witness. Her husband

jail. SO that the entire family. if not ex-
actly reunited. are close to each other.
Wymbes. who had served a term on
Blackwell's Island for beating his wife,
hunted her up after his release. She had
moved from New York to this city in the
hope that he might not be able to find
her. He did find her, however. and on
his promise to reform she took him back.
The very next morning he quarreled with
her and stabbed her several times with a
bread knife. inficting wounds which were
at first thought to be mortal. She
pulled through, however, and Will be

EAGLE ALARMS HoB0KEN.
The People Were Not Used to the
Bird Of Freedom.

Hoboken was visited by an eagle-a real,
live eagle, yesterday, and caused terror in
the westerly part of the city. The bird,
a large and ferocious creature. was first
sighted by some women who were sitting
on their doorsteps. at the time. The news
spread over the city like wildfire, n in
very short time thousands of eyes were
turned skywardl
III bird was evidently not in search of
prey. for the section of the city, over
which it lowered, is very thickly popu-
lated with anything from a duck to a
babe. There are many Of the latter. One
of the people to spy the eagle was Fred
eriek w. Korbach. a contractor, who was
experimenting the construction of a house
at No. GOA Monroe street. Korbach is a
member of the Frederick Wilhelm Com
pany. of the Germania Schuetzen Bund,
of that city. He was seated on the roof
of the building when he first saw the
bird. The first thought of Korbach, who
is quite a sharpshooter. was to capture
the bird. He borrowed a gun and waited
in vain for the bird to come within range.
1t didn't. however, for after flying around
about a half and hour it mace off and
disappeared back Of the hill.
The short while the winged monster re-
main over the city caused widespread ter
ror. and mothers with babies gave a sigh
of relief when it disappeared.

The architects conversation clearly
showed they had discovered that the LIZ

competent body of public men who knew
precisely what they wanted, and had very
pronounced views about library require
ments, all of which every person in this
city has long been aware.

FIGHT AT FORT MCPHERSON.
Jersey City Boy Writes Home an
Interesting Letter.

The following is from a letter which was
received by NJ. f. Malone, from Corporal
John Good, who is stationed at Fort
Mcpherson, Georgia. with a number Of
other Jersey City young men.
In Camp. Fort Mcpherson, Aug. 1, 1898.
Having a few moments to spare I viii
tell you of an accident that happened as
we were leaving camp. We had just
boarded the train when the officers gave
orders to go. We started and another
train coming in opposite direction crash
ed into us, making a general smash up.
After a portion Of the wreckage had been
cleared, they discovered three men in very
bad condition. and two men dead. After
that we were ordered to quarters until
further notice. Upon returning to quar-
tiers a fight arose between a colored man
and two white men. Before it ended the
eolored man drew a razor and cut three
eolored men and two white men. One of
the colored men is already dead. the other
two are in the hospital.

How EngIand Took Gfibraltar.

Gibraltar was taken by the English in
17a, during the war of the Spanish suc-
cession. a war which was provoked by the.
aggressive policy of France in e~ndeavor-
ing to place a monarch of the French
family upon the Spanish throne. and
thus consolidate the two Kingdoms into
one, says the st. Louis Globe Democrat"
The fortress was then captured, almost
nv surprise. though the Spanish and
French. approaching the strategic VALUES
of the place, made desperate efforts to
recover it, but were repulsed at every
point. Between the date OF ITS capture
and 1873 repeated efforts were made by
Spain to recover the fortress, and in the
latter year the greatest araInent that
was ever brought to bear upon a Pc
sieged place lay before Gibraltar Ine
siege lasted. off and on, for many months
investing force comprised LOCO
froonS of France, over twice as many OF
the best infantry of Spain, and the fleet
consisted of forty-seyen ships. all three
deckers; ten great floating batteries, es-
timated invincible. carrying ~ guns; in

ters, gun and mortar boats. For weeks
together over 5000 shells a day were
thrown into the town and repeated at
tempts were made to storm the WORKS.

every assault and finally Sucx
ceeded in beating off the allied fleet The
until February, 1913, when the garrison
was finally relieved by the arrival Of q
British fleet and Since that time
the Qualifications of Gibraltar aye been
SO improved and increased that it is re-
as the strongest fortress in the
world. The British Government MAIN
tains there a garrison of from 3,e0o ~ 10
009 men. with provisions for six months.
and it Is said the supply Of military ma
terial is sufficient TO enable the fortress to
stand a siege of indefinite length.

WILL HEAR MERCHANTS.
Mayor. Has Not Signed the
New Weights and Meas
ures Ordinance.

Today was the time fixed by Mayor
Hoos for a hearing on the new ordinance
regulating the duties and powers of the
Inspector Of Scales. Weights and Meas
ures. The Merchants Protective Assoc
citation objects to the ordinance because
it imposes a tax of two cents on every
weight, measur and other appliance used
by them in the prosecution of business.
The ordinance also imposes heavy pen
alties upon any one found using light
weights, unbalanced scales or short meas
ures. TIL ordinance was passed by the
Aldermen at the instance of certain repu-
table merchants, who insisted that the
fixing of penalties would put an end to
the use of light weights and the sale OF
goods in short measures. the support
ers of the ordinance maintain that it
win prove beneficial to buyers who have
been from time to time victimized by the
INSCRIPTIONS business men.
To the suppression of merchants of this
class the Merchants Protective Associa-
ton has no objection, but the members
do object to the tax that is imposed upon
all dealers because a few may have used
questionable weights ana measures. The
ordinance will make the Inspector of
Scales, Weights and Measures Depart
ment self-sustaining. The ordinance is
now before the Mayor for his action. Be-
fore approving or disappearing the Mayor
wished to hear the opponents of the
measure.
The Merchants Protective Association
was to ave sent a communication to
the Mayors office this morning. When
the Mayor fixed today for the hearing he
lost sight of the fact that Saturday is
the busiest day Of the week for business
men.
Secretary Newton Of the association
was at the Mayors office this morning.
The Mayor informed him that he would
hear all the merchants Tuesday after
noon at two o'clock. 1t is believed that
the ordinance will be approved, as just
as man. merchants favor it as oppose it.
