APPEAL FOR THE DOGS.
Little Girl Will Probably Save Cruel
Treatment of Dumb Animals IN
Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 1O-A tender hearted
little girl has written a letter to Mayor
Harrison complaining of the cruelty of
dog catchers. In her opinion, the men
who harass the dogs should be made to
pave streets. The epistle is:
Sir am a little girl, II years old.
But I think it is a shame the way the
poor dogs are treated by those cruel
dOg-catchers. About a week ago they
caught a dog in front of our house, and
the way he was treated was a shame
I am only a child, but I think that any
man who has a heart in him or any
kind of Christian would protect dumb
animals. instead of harming them. There
dumb animals; we cannot tell how
much they suffer- Every man ought to
think of that.
why, there is no animal more faith
full than a dog. If he is only a cur he
is as faithful as a great dog. We al
would just as well kill anybody knew
as one of our dogs. And think it would
be a good deal better if you would pave
the streets and put off the hOrrid dog
catchers. When I grow to be a woman
I will keep all the dogs can keep and
always try to protect them. Poor things,
I think it a pity the way they are treat
ed, and they never do any harm. When
God put dogs on earth he didn't mean
for them to be hurt and killed like
that.
although the Sultan of Turkey is a
wicked man in some ways, he is very
good to all dogs. 1 wish our president
was like that. I think I will close for

unfortunate dogs, I remain yours,

New York is fast becoming a golf CEN
ter. Ohe of the best players is Walter J.
Travis Last season he won some prizes
of value, and in every tournament in
which he entered never failed to make a
good showing. He has devoted much time
to the game and to his own style of play
and has endeavored to gain a thorough
knowledge of all the finer points in the

strong in playing for approach In tho
tournaments in which he has competed

medals offered for the best score in medal
play. This style of play seems to be par
ticularly his forte.

A Curious Old Law.

A curious old law has been discovered
in England which If literally enforced
might prevent cyclers from using the high
way. This act prohibits under penalty
the drivers Of any wagon, cart or other
carriage of any kind from being used
without having some other person on foot
or on horseback to guide the same, with
the exception of such carriages, carts, etc,
where the draft animals are driven with
reins. Like a good many other laws
which still cucumber the statute books
and have become obsolete, it is not likely
that our English friends need fear the en-
foreement Of this curious enactment.

Athletics at Yale.

There is some talk of establishing di-
rector of athletics at Yale. Keene Fitz-
patrick's successor has not yet been select
ed, although several competent men are
available. The scheme TO hold Olympian
games under the auspices of the Paris ez-
position in 1000, to which all the amateur
athletic associations of America win be
invited to send representatives, - remarks
a Yale man, "has met with considerable
favor at Ya)s. Yale, however, does not
have much money to spend on athletics,
and it has been practically decided that
Che university would not be able to send a
team to the Imes. 1t is likely, however,
that some OF Yale's crack athletes viii go

big athletic clubs of the east"
