THE DOGS.

Mongrels and ours were eliminated in
large measure from the bench show, but
this department could be improved still
further by allowing nothing but thorough
bred animals to be shown. A total of
about IS CANNES basked under the admir-
ing gaze of the populace. Hounds pre-.
dominated, with the bull terriers A close
second. Perhaps the most valuable dog
was the diminutive black and tan toy ter,
rier owned by Charles Miner. Fanciers
were unanimous in saying that this dog
would win a blue ribbon in any bench
show. A blue Yorkshire terrier owned
by Mrs. Henry Pope of Holyoke was an
other specimen with value disproportion-
ate to his size. An immense Great Dane
bitch and four puppies owned by j. NJ.
Clark of Maiden, Mass, were centres of
attraction.
Perhaps the best bull terrier in the
bunch was owned by j. S. Moore of Brat
tleboro, but good ones were shown by j.
&. Gale of Guilford, John Weightman of
Athol and Dave Clough of Brattleboro,
the latter having bitch and three pups
Fox hounds were shown by Perry Gal
lup of Greenfield, E. B. Murdoch of Err
wing, Mass, and George Barker of Brattle-
boro.
f. IL OOOlLIle OF NOrJnneld was the
owner of three Boston terrier pups which
were registered. Among other dogs of note
were Will Swans fox terrier pups from
Athol; George Cory's Scotch collie dog,
bitch and pups from Saxtons River; Harry
Pratts two Italian grayhounds; Adonis
Dion's black Cocker Spaniel bitch and
three pups; W. Akley's toy terrier bitch
and three pups from Hinsdale; d. G.
Bakers pointers from Guilford; George
Alderman's fine greyhound from South
Vernon; Frank Wellman's Scotch collie
from Gullford; M. r. Nelson's bull dog,
bull terrier and fox hound from Bernard
ston; A. II. Illness Russian bear dog;
Charles Aldrich's Gordon, Irish and Eng
lish settlers; G. Il. Butterfeld's pair OF
beagles from Vernon.
G. W. Pierce of the Brattleboro Retreat
had happy family in big yard-coon dog,
fox, coach dog and coach puppy, who whiled
away existence without friction. Mr..
Pierce also exhibited pair of Giant Elem
ish rabbits of remarkable size, with six
young ones. Other novelties in this de-
partment were M. r. Nelson's three play
tul coons, w. G. Leavitt's hawk, and Mrs.
Wilson Browns large collection of rabbits.

People who never found anything Of in

% grade Southdowns. w. NJ. Ball of
Winchester, N. H., who has been an ex-
hibitor here regularly for years, showed
several grade Shropshires, including a
two-year-old buck which weighs 80
pounds. The sire of this animal weighed
315 pounds, and Mr.. Ball expects that
when the young buck is fully grown he
will weigh fully 400 pounds. The goats,
with their long, silky, curly heeces, their
graceful horns, and their impenetrable
masks of faces, were surrounded at all
times by people who kept up fusilade Of
questions and amusing observations.

The BriarcliR Farms Jerseys.
The 20 Jerseys from the Brarclff Farms
in Westminster county, New York, were
all animals "bred in the purple" All Jer-
sey breeders are much interested in the
noted strain of Jerseys called "The Gold
en- Lads" the offspring of the most ia
nous bull the Island If Jersey has ever
produced. His stock sells for more money
than any other bulls progeny has ever
brought at private sale or public auction.
The Briarcliff exhibit was almost all Gold
en- Lads blood, or other noted imported
animals. All of the specimens we're young
Jerseys, and one whole side of the tent
was filled with imported ock. The herd
was headed by Jersey Beau A. J. G. G.
| 44417, probably the finest bull i'm the
world. He has never been beaten in the
show ring and is without price. Many Of

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local re-
needles, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science hos proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and therefore
requires treatment Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. l..
Cheney &, Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

tenn. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure Send for cir

The famous professor of Jurisprudence,
Senator Pessina, who is regarded as the
foremost living authority in Italy upon
criminal law, did more than any of his
contemporaries to secure the total aboli-
tion of capital punishment in his father
land. But the renowned scholar has
been so deeply moved by the recent sue
cessiOn of Italian assassins of kings and
rulers that he has just published a ''re-
cantat1On'' or his former opposition to
the death punishment in all cases, and
advises that it should be adopted in the
case of political murderers."

The result Of the election for sheriff
shows that power resides in the people as
much as it ever did. The complaint is
frequently heard that the bosses really
run things and that the people are ig-
nored. Whenever this is true it is simply
because the people allow themselves to
be ignored. They are apathetic and
do not take the trouble to assert them
selves, Such episodes as that of Monday
show that no power has actually departed
from them. They are the real rulers
whenever they have a mind to be.
1t is great pity that they
do not assert themselves more constant
ly and more evenly, instead OF in
spasms. An occasional spasm is better
than nothing, but steady exercise of
intelligent interest would be far prefera-

Though fully 30 per cent of the ballots
