A GREAT HOUND.
Runs a Fox to Cover After Continuous
Chase of SO Hours.

Runs q Fox to Cover After a Continuous
Chase of SO Hours.
From the Breckenridge, KY, News.
The greatest fox chase of which
there is any authentic record took
place in the neighborhood of Long
Branch, in Meade county, last week.
Ben Matthews, oolored man living at
Long Branch, has fox hound named
Queen. One evening last week, when
the air was soft, Queen and her COM
panion, Don, together with Jim Bick-
erstaff7s "Old Maize" started for the
hills near by, and were not long absent
when they started vigorous old fox.
By their vigorous mouthing it was
known that they had a warm scent
and were on the trail of fox of fine
staying qualities. For several hours
during the night the residents Of that
vicinity could hear all three hounds
tonguing together, and then the
two male dogs dropped out of the run,
leaving Queen to keep up the chase
alone. All night long she followed the
trail, and along toward morning was
joined by some fresh hounds, who stay
ed with her for few hours, fell out,
rested up and joined in the chase again
at intervals during the next 20 hours.
On the second day of the chase Will
LaGrand's "Tige," a hound noted for
it's staying qualities, Joined her and re-
mained until the close of the run.
Queen was ON the run, without rest,
the entire SO hours consumed in the
chase. She stopped only when she
had run reynard to cover. After she
had accomplished this, she lay down
and guarded the burrow, and when
found by her owner was so stiff and
sore that she could not move limb,
and had to be carried to the house.
Matthews, her owner, thinks she is the
best fox hound on earth, and would
not trade her for the best horse in Ken
lucky.

Mr.. Montgomery and Negro Labor.


Speaking of his plans with regard to
the Charleston Cotton mills, Mr.. John
H. Montgomery said to The News and
Courier the other day: "About the
only thing 1 have to say is that have
bought the property for myself and as
sociates, and will operate it with Ne
gro labor. I believe the enterprise will
prove successful. We could not use
Negro labor in the mills in the up
country, and I would not think of at
tempting such move; but the condi-
tions in Charleston are peculiarly
adapted to the step. said four years
ago that thought the mill here could
be made to pay if Negroes were put in
to operate it. Of course, we will have
white superintendent and white over
seers; but the routine work will be
performed by Negroes. When our
new company is organized I shall sug-
gest the name of man for general
manager and treasurer in whom have
every confidence. I will not mention
his name; but he has had wide ex-
perience and in all departments of the
mill business. Hei capital manager
and will be most valuable official.
When I came here I did not expect to
find such large upset price fixed for
the mill. As I said, we bought it as
an experiment, and if we find that the
mill cannot be operated successfully
with the Negro help, it will prove a
costly experiment. But we are not
looking at that end. I am confident
that the Negro will prove a greater
helper in this particular mill, though l
would never attempt to operate cot
ton factory in the up-country with Ne
groes. This is the only property, |
think, in the state in which I would

The OWNERSHIP OF A DoG.-Mr.
August Kohn recently asked Judge
Gage for the reasons he gave in the
dog case already mentioned in this pa
per. Judge Gage replied under date
of Chester, March IA, as follows:
Your note came while / was sick in
bed, and the same cause has delayed
an acknowledgment of it until now.
I have not the text of my decision
in the dog case.
Indeed, gave no reasons for the de-
cision, but these were the reasons:
At common law a dog was not the
subject of larceny.
There is no statute of force in this
state making the stealing of dog lar
ceny.
There is no statute in this state
making a dog property; tax is i'm
posed on the value of every dog, and
the value is fixed at IS, without refer
ence to the truth of the fact; the tax
is, therefore, not ad valorem, but Ii
cepse tax.

BATTLE Of PASIG.
An Army of 1000 Filipinos Defeated by
Americans.

An Army of 1000 Filipinos Defeated by
Americans.
Dispatches of Wednesday from Ma
Mia tell of more severe fighting be-
tween the Americans and Filipinos.
General Lloyd Wheaton, command
ing the United States flying column,
attacked and defeated force of 1000
Filipinos at Pasig during Wednesday
afternoon. The Filipinos fought with
much stubbornness; but were grad
ually picked off by the Americans un-
til they were forced to give way and
leave cover in wild disorder.
When the American troops got pos
session of the battlefield, they found
more than 100 dead Filipinos near
Pasig and as many new graves. During
the fighting about It's Filipinos were
captured, and after the battle some
$50 surrendered to the Washington
regiment at the town of Tasig.
Those who surrendered were without
arms, and it is presumed that they had
acted in accordance with previously
expressed threat and thrown their
weapons into the Pasig river.
Americans at points on the Pasig
river below the scene of the battle,
saw numerous bodies floating down
the stream.
General Otis said that the battle is
the most important sincethat of Feb
ruary 5. He expresses himself as be-
ing very we'll pleased with the pro-
gress that is being made.

s~ One Billie, a 12-year-old, not a
thousand miles from town, is about the
worst youngster on record, and strange
to say, his fond mother doesn't seem
to know it half as we'll as his neigh
bors do. Not long ago she opened out
on a man who spoke his mind very
freely to William.
"Did you tell my son to 20 to the
bad place ?" she asked with flash OF
her eye.
"No ma'am I didn't" was the
prompt contradiction.
"Did you say he would 60 there
sometime ?" she continued.
"No, ma'am, I didn't" and the man
became hot. II suppose he told you
that did but it isn't true. 1 haven't
much respect for the bad place, ma'am,
nor never had; but I've got enough
sympathy for it not to wish it any
such bad luck as that"

they were not only not consulted in the
matter but were ignored absolutely.
There has been no secret about the
fight for the Health Board appointments
that was being made by CrlmmlnS ana
Kelly They brought every possible N
fiuence to bear on the Governor, even IN m
cluding Sam Rainey, who claimed th9
right to be heard because he had eXerted
his influence among the Democrats OF San
Francisco to aid in the election OF N1age.
The Governor listened attenuVely 10 the
arguments. but when II came 10 making
the appointments 1t appears that ne choSe
to repudiate the Crimmins and Kelly OUT
fit and any promises he may nave maue
10 them and accept the advice and dlcta-
tion of Burns and the railroad. This is
not the first time Crimmins and Kelly
have been ignored by the Governor ana
the Mexican, but it is the most bitter dose
they have been compelled TO swallow anu
hence they determined to be reVenged.

bers of the Board of Supervisors are prac-
tically controlled by Kelly ana CrliIlatte l1i. >
with effect on the Governor and those
who are figuring on feeding on the poiltlss .
cal pap to be distributed by the Board OF
Health. Aside from the statutory ap-
pOintments, which are comparatively lew
in number and Importance, the places at
the disposal of the board are at their
discretion. The salaries OF the statu7
tory officers are provided for by law, and
the City and County Auditor is COM
manded to audit them and the County
treasurer TO pay lneIn WllllOul fiWellI liz
any special appropriation by the Board
of Supervisors, the money being taken
either from the general fund, the hospital
fund or the almshouse fund.
But the great bulk of the patronage of
the board is in the way of voluntary aD-
pointments. and the compensation de-
pends almost entirely upon the willing
ness of the Board of Supervisors to grant
the necessary appropriations asked for by
the Board of Health The Board of Su-
pervisors, according TO the programme of
revenge outlined by Kelly and Crimnins,
will refuse to appropriate money for the
payment of these appointees of the Board
of Health, and the result will be that as
q patronage proposition the Board of
Health will bring little profit to those
responsible for the snub to the bosses,
whose wrath has been incurred by the al
legged perfidy of Dan and the Governor
OF course such a programme will seri-
ously cripple the effectiveness of the
Board of Health and react upon the city.
but that fact will not be allowed to inter
fere with the desires of Crimmins and
Kelly. They want revenge. and they are
bound to have it, no matter at what cost
to'others. Fortunately the appointees of
the Governor go out of office when the
new charter goes into effect at the begin
ming of the new year.

The action of Governor Gage in ignoring
the claims of Crimmins and Kelly in
making his appointments 10 the Board of
Health of San Francisco has raised q
storm of Indignation among the followers
Of the two local bosses. and threats are
being freely made that the Governor s
alleged breach of faith shall profit him
little. Dan Burns is also, roundly de-
nounced for the part he took in throw
ing down" his erstwhile allies, and alto
gether there is a pretty fight brewing
among local politicians of the spokesman
type. The threats of Crimmins and Kelly
TO get even are likely to take the form
OF active opposition to the appointees of
the Governor, and those familiar with the
local political situation admit that the
disgruntled bosses are in a position to
practically nulIfy the appointments. so
far as the distribution of patronage by
the board is concerned, and that they will
exert all their power in this direction
there seems TO be no room to doubt for a
moment for revenge is sweet and Kelly
and Crimmins are in a decidedly vengeful
mood al the present time
Crimmins and Kelly have all along
claimed the right to name the new Board
Of Health, and they declare they had the
assurance of the Governor and of Dan
Burns that the privilege should be ac-
corded them. They based their claim on
the assistance they rendered Gage in this
city during the last campaign and the
further fact that they We're stanch sup
porters of Dan Burns all through the
Senatorial fight in the Legislature. They
have persistently urged their claims to
recognition, and they say the Governor
assured them that the appointments
should not be made without their being
first consulted That this assertion is
denied by Burns and the Governor has
little bearing on the present situation
The bosses claim that they were turned
