have rabies or that hydrophobia is not nee
essarily fatal.
There is no question in my mind that
in many alleged cases of rabies the dog,
being attacked with q fit or a stomach
ache or some other anguish, n-conta-
sious and temporary is worried into ap-
parent madness by the imbecile coward
ice OF nervous people. whose conduct would
also drive a philosopher out of his wits
if applied to him and if he had no means
Of escaping such persecution.
Whatever be the decision of your hon.
orable Board ON this question of muzzling
dogs, allow me to suggest that if the or
dinance is to be continued, it be at
tended in its execution with the utmost
Kindness and temperatures both toward
the dogs and their owners Those who do
not own or care for dogs cannot appreci-
ate the attachment that often exists be-
tween the owner and his pets or the many
interesting and noble qualities and high
and developed intelligence Of many dogs.
AS for their devotion and fidelity. it is
impossible to speak in too exalted terms
l have in my own case had examples of the
devotion Of these much abused animals. to
which l cannot even allude without being
deeply moved. The pathos in the lives of
many dogs should enlist the sympathies
and the care of the community rather
than harsh treatment and indifference.
Man has no better friend than the dog,
often far more faithful than his fellow
man.
Finally l would suggest that your dog
catchers exercise great discretion in seiz-
ing dogs and that they show more care
than they have done more Judgment in
invading premises or in snatching dogs
from the possession of their owners and
that they should showHno respect of per-
sons"
The letter of Mr. Benjamin has been
noted by the Commissioners. and Will re-
ceive from them careful consideration.

A PLEA FOR THE DOGS.
The Commissioners Requested Not to
Renew the MUzzIe Order.


The District Commissioners yesterday
received a communication from s. G. w
Benjamin, of 2O15 Nineteenth Street north
west. in which he urges them not to re-
new the muzzle order which recently ex-
PRED b. limitation;
Nothing is gained by gross exaggera-
tons" Mr.. Benjamin writes. you have
doubtless seen in the. local press the state
ment that there are; 500, 900 dogs in Con-
stantinople There are'iprobably no more
than that in the entire Turkish Empire.
In Paris, which has probably an unparal-
leled dog register, a few years ago $4,000
dogs were enrolled, cor about per cent OF
the population. Before the recent dog
massacre in Washington the dogs number
ed scarcely 3 per cent of the population.
If We allow 10 per cent for the dogs OF
Constantinoplc we find that they would
number about 10000, which, after residing
there four years, still think an excessive
estimate. but it will answer our purpose.
THE dogs in the East are retained chiefly
for use. either to guard the hocks in the
country. as hunting dogs. or. in the towns.
as scavengers. The latter are the uses
chiefly in evidence to travellers. and as the
dogs are gathered In the streets ana Dut

strangers the impression of large numbers.

in Asia as in Europe. though more SO per-
haps than in America. The shepherd dogs,
a specially savage breed, are fierce and
dangerous to strangers, while the others
are harmless. If let alone, and that may be
said of dogs in general. bulldogs excepted.
Now there may be such disease as
rabies. or hydrophobia. Dogs. like men,
have many diseases. and 1t is possible

WIRES ON CHAPLIN STREET.
The Commissioners Again Urged
Remove Them to an AIIey.

The Commissioners Again Urged to
Remove Them to an Alley.
few days ago August Peterson wrote
to the Commissioners in reply to a COM
munication from them relative to the re-
moval of the wires from Chaplin Street
into an alley in the rear. The Commits
sioners had informed Mr.. Peterson that
under the conditions which prevail Tela-
tive to the rights of the authorities to
grant permits for extending wires over
private property it was impossible to ae-
cede to his request. In replying to the
Commissioners Mr.. Peterson takes issue
with them as to the possibility of .e-
moving the wires, saying:
Il have the honor to state. what is well
known to the Engineer Commissioner, that
for several years there has been on file
in his office a permit from Mrs Alice s.
Hill to stretch the telephone wires over
her lots from Fifteenth Street to the alley
north OF Chaplin Street. and it is, there
fore. not impossible. il the Commissioners
so desire and instruct. to move the wires
from Chaplin Street to the alley north of it.
II some of the wires are to be moved from
Chaplin Street there is no apparent reason
why all should not be moved at
the same time. by which duplication of
y
missioners have allowed wires to be strung
over private property without permit,
while. where they have permit to do so,
they have so far ignored it. This seems
strange. but it is true"
At the request of the Commissioners
the Electrical Engineer. Walter C. Allen.
has reported upon the letter of Mr.. Peter
SON. He says: The agitation for the re-
moval Of the poles from Chaplin Street
has been going on periodically since 1889,
and at one time the telephone company
was ordered to remove the poles to the
alleys. This, however was not done be-
cause the necessary written permission
to cross private property was not granted,
but because the telephone company
thought such removal was not practicable.
The only written permission Is the letter
of Mrs. Alice S. Hill. to which Mr.. Peter
son refers.
81 am of the opinion that the present
location of the poles is the best under
the circumstances. and that they should
remain where they are. until the telephone
company can obtain permission to build
a conduit and put these wires under
ground I am informed by the officials
of the telephone company that they are
ready to run their conduit system to and
and thereby remove these poles Such
them until further legislation has been
passed by Congress"
The Commissioners have ordered that
Mr.. Peterson be informed in accordance
with the report of the Electrical Engineer
