THE BENCH SHOW.
It Closed Last Night After a Sue
cessful Session.

The most successful of the annual
exhibitions Of the State Poultry and
Kennel Club yet held in this city, closed
last night with an excellent attend
ance, a large proportion Of those pres
ent being Of the gentler sex, who like
to look at fine dogs and poultry.
The animals on exhibition We're duly
admired and petted and the spectators,
especially the children, greatly enjoyed
the performance of Mr.. Martins train
ed dogs The feature of the evening,
however, that excited most interest and
laughter, was the harvesting by H. A.
Wegener of six of his cocker spaniels
to a small wagon and having them haul
the children around the hall. The lit
tie ones thoroughly enjoyed it and much
merriment was created when O. J. AL
bee, the veteran collie fancier, was plac-
ed IN the wagon and made the circuit.
The show of dogs this time has been
superior to the former ones and it Is
thought that next year the exhibition
will be still better.

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
Luca Nicholas Charged With He
ceiviug Stolen Goods.

DR.. Nourse of the Railroad Hospital
Yesterday identified the wheel taken
from the barber shop Of Luca Nicholas,
on Second street, near L, by the police,
as belonging to him and stolen on De-
cember 26th.
The wheel was originally green, but
had been enameled black and the num-
Der covered up. A bottle of enamel
that had been apparently used on the
wheel was found in the shop. Nicholas
claimed he bought it from q man who
was going east.
A number of other articles were found
in the shop by Sergeant Dolan and Off
Ger Talbot that Nicholas claimed to have
bought. Among there were thirteen
clippers, such as BARRIERS use, a fine
pair of field glasses, burglars jimmy,
wrapped up in cloth; hammerless
revolver and other things.
AS Chief Dwyer thought there was
good ground for believing it to be a
fence Sergeant Dolan last night ar
rested Nicholas on the charge of re-
ceiving stolen goods and he was re-
leased on giving bonds.
His brother was arrested on Thursday
night on a charge of passing counter
felt money and is now in jail.

FERROUS shooting occurred at 304 Fourth

the victim. Peart was found in al closet
with a bullet hole through the right

found, but refused to say who shot him.
and denied having shot himself, al
though a. pistol was found at his side. A
mysterious stranger told a police OIL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE pay
ment Of $50, 100000 to Spain under the
terms of the peace treaty is beginning
to receive attention from members Of
the House Committee on Appropria-
lions, and it is likely that the amount
will be carried in one of the regular ap-
preparation bills, probably the sundry
civil bill
Chairman Cannon says, however, the
question had not been formally consid-
cred yet, as there had been no estimate
presented and no official information on
the requirements of the case. More
over, there is no desire to anticipate
action on the treaty and unless 1t is
ratified the House is hardly in posi-
ton to carry out this provision as to
payment.
In the event of ratification, however,
speedy action will be necessary The
treaty provides that the payment shall
be made within three months after the
exchange Of notifications, and If other
provisions requires the exchange OF rati-
fications within six months from the
date the treaty was signed, viz, De-
cember 10th last This would bring the
payment before the next session OF
Congress, so that the appropriation
must be made at the present session.
Owing to the short time elapsing
after the Senate acts on the treaty, and
the close of the present session, 1t Is
thought that little time will remain to
deal with matter Of this magnitude.
There has been some talk OF dealing
with the payment in special appro-
priation but this is not feasible. as
special bill has no privilege under the
rules, and is easily open to obstruction.
whereas the general appropriation bills
carry unusual privileges and are al
most certain to pass before the session
ends. For this reason, it is probable
that the payment will be placed in the
sundry civil or some other general ap-
preparation bill, if the provision Is re-
tanned in the treaty as ratified.
The Appropriation Committee mas not
determined what appropriation bill to
take up next 1t will be either the
sundry civil or the fertilization bill, but
in any event action on the Spanish
item is likely to be deferred until action
On the treaty is secured.

How Ocean Steamers Have Increased
in Size and Sneed,

The Oceanic, recently launched at
Belfast, is the biggest vessel afloat.
The first steamer that crosser the At
lant.c was the Savannah Her dis
placement was $50 tons. The voyage
was effected in 26 days, and the ship
herself was regarded as a wonder.
That is 80 years ago. Forty years lat
er the wonder of the Savannah was
lost in the marvel of the Great East
ern. Like the Savannah, the Great
Eastern was a paddle wheeler. Sub
sequently came the Persia. The old
packets which took forever to cross
the ocean vanished. For the rich and
opulent there was the opportunity to
go to Europe in less than two weeks.
Twenty-Five years ago ten days was
fast trip. The first to do better was
the SeTvia. Then from their kennels
one after another the greyhounds en-
erged. Last year came the Kaiser
Wilhelm, with a speed of about 23
knots and a displacement of 10000
tons. In a recent announcement 1t was
stated that If this ship was set on her
stern at the side of the 27 story st.
Paul building on broadway, she would
be more than twice as high. Were the
same operation performed with the
Oceanic she would soar so feet higher.
How fast she goes we are uniformed
But for the moment the detail is un-
important. Assuming that she makes
the trip in six days and remembering
that the Savannah made II in 26 days,
the question at once arises how many
years will IT be before in ocean travel

Interest in Mr.. KipIing,s illness,

Last month an eminent Englishman,
leaving the Lucania, boarded one of
the degenerate horseIcars struggling
through the brutal mud and confusion
OF the West Side track along the piers.
Not finding a seat, he stood on the car
pushed into his hand by an enIterpris-
ing newsboy, to learn what had been
going on during his week out of the
world. The shabby conductor craned
over the newcomers shoulder, and
failing to see what he wanted he ask
ed: How is he?" "Who?" said the
Englishman. why, Kipling. The
last news said he was getting better,
didn't it?" The owner of the paper
shared the news of the extras" bull
letin, to the relief of the inquirer. "Oh,
he oughter've been poet lawyrit in
stead of that mushy Alfred Austin"
continued the conductor, with a note
of disgust. While Mr., Kipling lay i'll
at the Grenoble Hotel a hack drove
rapidly to the door without fare. The
driver jumped from his seat, ran into
the hotel and read the latest bulletin,
remarking to bystander that he had
promised to get the last news for the
boys at the stable. Office-boys dis
cussed over their lunch the pathologi-
cal probabilities of this particular
case of pneumonia, and brakeman
leaned out from their platform to pass
the latest advices to incoming breth-
rem. Clerks and business men on the
way to the office did not talk of the
grippe and the weather, but of the sick
mans progress. Churches, not only
in the great cities close at hand, but
in far away corners of the country, Of
feTed up prayer for his recovery, and
made the "Recessional" part of their
service. Doubtless Mr.. Kipling would
prize such manifestations in his
roughly deprecatlng way more than
the earnest words OF the Kaiser's ca
blegram, or the continual stream of
anxious calls and inquiries from the
people of his own craft and the other
best minds OF England and America,
and would be certain to appreciate
the loss that hreatened.-American
