A lady living on Park avenue, Wal
nut hills, was recently presented with a
full blooded imported dachshund, a liv-
ing exempification of the saying,
"Man wants but little here | low, but
he wants that little long This dog in
particular has all the fine points Of a
true dachshund. Its length is at least
four times its height, and it's legs are
stumpy and have the conventional crook
of golf stick at the foot. The lady
has several other dogs and is quite a
fancer of CANNES The other evening a
gentleman called who had heard a great
deal Of the celebrated animal As he
entered the darkened parlor small
yellow dog of no particular breed arose
from rug in front of the CRATE and,
unnoticed by the gentleman, slowly
walked toward the door. The dog
crossed half way over the threshold and
stood in snch position that person
in the parlor could just see its hind
legs and tail AT that moment the maid
lighted the gas, and the dachshund
poked its head inquiringly through an
other open door. The gentleman gazed
in amazemcnt at the head of the dachs-
hund peoring at him from one doorway
and the headquarters of another dog
visible in the other doorway, and then
in the hearing of the servant calculated
"Lord Almighty heard that this
dachshnnd of hers was long one, but
this animal certainly beats my timel"

Drawn at Night.

The architect and his friend the
builder We're driving back to the for.
mer's office They had been out to the
edge of the city to look at some work
on which they were engaged. AS they
drove by certain house the builder
looked up at it proudly, saying: "There
is a house that | built myself. not
only built it, but | drew all the plans.
Every bit of work in it is mine. The
architect looked at the house and smiled
in a provoking way.
The builder noticed the smile and
looked at the 'lonse in new light.
"How hard worked on that! he said.
Sin the daytime had to do something
else, but every night would sit up late
drawing on those plans l drew on EN-
every night for month.
The architect looked at the house
again and smiled once more, and the
builder saw him.
Again he turned his eyes toward the
product of his brain, twisted his neck
to squint at it after the carriage had
passed it, Then he looked at the archi
tect with humility at looks as il
those plans were drawn at night, doesn' I
it? he said, and there was pathos il

Pools on Murder Cases.

Boolmaking in murder cases is one
of the forms of gambling here, which
has opened a new field to the men who
are willing to lay odds. The suggestion
smacks of the ridiculous, hut a gaudily
dressed young man, with few ''notes'
in his left hand and $40 in money In
his right, appeared in the criminal
branch of the supreme court here few
days ago "Who's on trial?' he asked
an officer Being told, he consulted his
notes and said
"Let's see. Lawyer Blank; Defense
insanity; charge, murder. And then,
turning to the doorman again, "I'll bet
you to 10 he's acquitted
The court officer looked puzzled, but
was astounded when the gaudily dressed
informed him he was making "book. "
The court officer saw that he made
tracks, but not before over 5000 in bets
had been placed on the outcome of the
case An investigation showed that
there are a large number of these book
makers doing business around the New
York courts, and their profits are said
to be very large, New York Letter in

tween the Cleveland Electric Railway

ing employees continues in lively fashion
The company started the first car of the
DAY for down town from the Lake View
barns. 1t was guarded by deputies and
manned by imported men. 1t was greet
Cd with jeers, and some missiles were
tnrown. The next two cars dashed from
the barns across the railroad crossing
without stop.
The city ordinance makes it compul-
sorry for the conductor of the street car
to leave the car at the railroad cross
Ing and there signal the motorman to
proceed. Two Of the strikers We're dele
gated to secure warrants for the crews
or these cars, and later both of the new
motormen were arrested.
The first car to leave Lake View was
met at the square by several hundred
people. The car was allowed to depart,
however. without any great demonstra-
ton. beyond the boots and jeers Of the
crowd. The report that car had passed
spread like wildfre, and when the second
car came along it was stopped.
In few seconds several thousand peo-
pie We're packed around the car. A dele
CATION of the strikers boarded the car
and induced the motorman to leave IL.
He was given an ovation. While the
strikers were talking with the motorman
and conductor the acts of violence which
accompanied the cars departure from
the barns wcr" renewed.
Stone. Used as Missiles.
Stones and dccnyed vegetables were
thrown. Several men who We're in SYM

drag the nonunion mon from the ear. A
strong force OF police finally charged the
crowd on Euclid avenue The third car
out of the barns was attempting to make
the return trip east on the avenue. Thou
sands of people and innumerable wagons
blocked the thoroughfare and impeded
the progress of the cars
The trolley rope was cut several times,
and every few moments some one would
release the lever that controlled the fen
der, and it would drop to the ground.
The crowd would be beaten back for
the time being. but before the car had
proceeded II feet its progress would be
again impeded by the surging crowd. 4
number of rioters were arrested, and
many in the mob were slightly injured in
conflicts with the police, who used their
clubs freely. Women took a prominent
part in the rioting at the Nickel Plate
crossing, hurting volleys of stones at the
cars.
Cars were running later at irregular in
tervals.
The state arbitration commissioners
met, and committee from the strikers
was present and waited an hour in vain
for the company's representatives to APP
pear The company has not announced
that 1t will reject arbitration. but it is
given out unoflicially that it will not

THE WAITER SLOAN HIT.
Injured Mans Story of His Trouble
With the Jockey.

London, June 21.-The condition of VIM
terbourne, the waiter who was injured in
the Sloan fracas at Ascot last week, is not
improving, and it is now feared that cry
sipelas will result. The police authorities
are closely watching the case. The Right
Hon. James Lowther, M. p, who is one OF
the stewards of the Jockey Club, said
in an interview today that he did not ex-
pect that the matter would be closed, but
that it was not likely that the club would
interfere pending action in the courts.
The Star" publishes Winterbourne' s
version of the affair, furnished by man
who is following the case in behalf of the
waiter. Winterbourne, he says, is a most
inoffensive man, and has always con-
Quoted himself we'll He did not give
Sloan the least provocation for the assault.
He accidentally knocked against Sloan's
table twice, but had not said word when
Sloan, he alleges, struck him.
Winterbourne's employer now has in his
possession the 95 note covered with blood
which Sloan's friend a prominent boxer,
thrust into Winterbourne's hand. Winter
bourne is still confined to his bed. His
face is greatly swollen and very painful.
His doctor is as yet unable to tell whether
or not the walters jaw is broken. Winter
bourne. it is said, was not intoxicated at
the time of the assault.
