A DOG WITH A SALARY.
He Is Regularly Employed AS a street
 Advertising Agent.

One of the familiar sights about the business section and one attracting much admirfng attention is hand- some black. curly dog. which walks along with sedate dignity, wearing a hat on his head. speetacies on his nose, pipe firmly elenehed between his teeth, and bearing a large advertising sign on his back. This canine adver- Using agent, who attends to his busi- ness " h q diligence, perseverance and decorum which many of his human rivals might do worse than initiate, is named Chester, and is the property of Ernest Jones, who usually accompanies him and who has trained him to the work. Chester is about five years of age, and is partly Newfoundland, part ly Gordon setter. He has the long, i'm tefligent face of the setter, with almost human soft brown eyes, and the black, curly coat Of the Newfoundland, the white an his breast being the only white about him. He is quite accom- plished, though his training dates but little before Christmas. He can open doors, goes =obedient1y and intelligently on errands. can climb a ladder, jump through hoops, and play leapfrog like a boy just out of school. He understands the sign language, and will obey command communicated to him by his masters fingers without 8 spoken word. He is not only doeile, but ex- ceedinely affectionate, and is very po- lite. But he Is not without spirit, as he showed one day when misehievous newsboy tried to take away his pipe, and succeeded in knocking it out of his mouth. He sprang upon the scared nrehin and protested so vigorously and forcibly against interference that 1t took policeman to rescue his termen- tor from him, the sympathy of all the bystanders being with the animal. He has deep sense of the proprieties, and will not go out of doors without his hat. He has cause for his dignifed pride and evident self-respect, for he earns regular salary. Now he has companion in a younger Newfound- land, who is also learning the adver- Using business. This is a handsome dog, about IS months old, named Gro- yer Cleveland. He is being broken to hat and spectacles. but does not take to them very kindly as yet, while Ches, ter rather resents tue loan of his old hat, which he is compelled to make the newcomer. The pair made a striking team of workers in their novel voea- tion.-Baltimore American.

The Worlds Threa Glasses.

Some one has said that the world is divided into thr ee great classes: The wills, the wonts and the can'ts. The first are the actors, the second the op- posers, the third the do-nothings. To the first class belongs the honor Of whatever has been accomplished by human agency, done in spite of all the hindrance the second class could bring to bear; to the third belongs nothing; and whatever the second class loses oy it's obstinacy. the third let's pass without making an effort to secure.

Could Make Iron and Steel.

It has been reported to the British government that the making of iron and steel in India is entirely praetic- able owing to the large deposits of iron ore which are found in Madras and Bengal plentiful supply of na- tive coal, and limestone to be procured at small expense from Burmah. The cheap labor of India is also an im- portant consideration, and if the plant were sufficiently large and located near Calcutta it is believed that the works would prove successful.

Bartini and Lafranky had their nets set for the purpose of catching founders. and when the tida started to turn they proceeded to pull in, when they noticed that the nets were harder to handle than usual. They thought they had an unusual large Catch of founders, but when they had fully 40 fathoms of net pulled into the boat a large sea lion was noticed splashing the water at furious rate Bartini called to Lafranky to get an car and hit him. but just as be had said tke words the sea lion stuck his head out of the water and, seeing the boat and it's occupants, made a lunge. capsizing the craft Bartini, who is a good swimmer, immediately jumped for his partner and, seizing him by the arm, dragged him to the boat and fin ally managed to get him on the bottom When the boat eapsized the anchor fell overheard and the craft was made fast The sea lion continued splashing the water at 8 terrific rate. and the Ital- ians were badly frightened. They called for help, but their cries were Of nc avail, as their voices could not be heard a hundred yards, the wind blow ing a terrific gale. Finally, after they had been in the water for fully three hours3 q schooner was sighted coming from the Patent brick yard. and the crew lowered small boat and went to the rescue of the Italians. who were almost exhausted from fright and cold. After about an hour the boat was righted. the lion being killed with a shotgun from the schooner. It proved to be a large one, weighing fully 1000 rounds. The lion was probably follow ing a shoal of herring up the bay ana ran foul of the Italians net and suc- ceeded in getting tangled up in it. The net is a complete wreck. This is the second time that a sea lion has been so caught in San Pablo Bay and almost at the cost of life.

SEQUEL TO THE WAR.

South African Republics to Become Self

New YORK, June 5.-The Tribune's
London correspondent writes: The i'm.
mediate sequel to the war will be the
annexation Of the two Dutch common

will be temporary arrangements for
military government, but ultimately
they will be converted into self govern
ing dependencies of the crown, like
other colonial possessions. AS time
goes on the same tendencies which have
brought about confederation in Canada
and Australia will operate with irresist-
ible force in South Africa. There will
be new commonwealth bill, under
which the united colonies and depend
encies Of the crown will have as large a
measure of local independence and leg
islative autonomy as either Canada or
Australia. That this confederation will
be essen italy Dutch is evident from
