Missouri Valleys first electrocution
occurred early this morning the vic
tim being little black dog owned by
CD Briggs. During the high wind
last night the wires of the telephone
system and the electric light wires be-
came crossed IN the alley west
of the Catholic church and in some
manner ono end Of the telephone wire
fell to the ground. In swinging back
and forth the friction of the wires
soon wore the insulation from the cleo
trio. light wire, thus connecting the
telephone wire with the dynsmos at
the power station. AS the dog was
passing the alley the highly charged
wire swung in front of him and it is
the supposition that he snapped at the
wire, taking the end of it in his mouth
receiving shock that caused almost
instant death. A G Briggs, who pas
sed the alley few minutes after the
dogs fatal experience. came uncom-
fortably near meeting . similar fate.
Noticing the wire remained in the
dogs mouth but forgetting about live
wire he attempted to pull the wire
from the dogs mouth and received 9
shock that knocked him down, pain
fully burning his right hand.

The Advantage of Roofs.

Now that hot weather is fairly upon us,
II is pertinent to call attention to the fact
that Washington is not as pleasant a
place as it might easily be made for the
summer resident. This is partly due to
sheer carelessness on the part of archi-
tects and real estate owners. There is 10
reason why Washington houses should not
be much more comfortable in summer than
they are.
is far enough South to be uncomfortabIy
warm during at least three months of the
year. During these months the population
is obliged to occupy brick houses-the old
fashioned brick oven proved how long that
material holds heat badly ventilated
house of this description is more like an
oven than a merciful Providence ever in
tended human habitation to be. But
people cannot always change their domi-
Gle with the seasons. SO the house will
probably have 10 be built of brick, for
summer and winter.
This would not be so bad, however, if
the ventilation received proper attention
But too many houses are so placed and
built that the breezes cannot blow through
them at all, except by taking round
about course, which air is always reluctant
to do. Moreover, there are comparatively
few dwellings in Washington which are
provided with any out-of-door place to
sit, except the more or less uncomfortable
steps leading to the front door. The steps
are accordingly occupied every evening,
and the visitor is subjected to the annoy
ance of having to displace whole parlia-
ment of people before he can get into the
house, If that is where he wants TO 80.

Poultry Yards in cities.

| Periodically, at about this time of year,
some unfortunate person complains to the
! Commissioners that noisy fowls exist in
I his neighborhood ami prevent him from
| getting any sleep after O'Clock in the
morning. The present month is no eX-
/ ception to the rule. This time the trouble
| is on X Street in q thicllly populated part
of the city. and the complainant alleges
that a member of her family is afflicted
with nervous disorder which is greatly
increased by the Growing of cocks and the
noise of hens, practically under the window
of the sick person.
Common sense ought to convince any
one of ordinary intelligence that the only
thing to be done in such circumstances IS
to dispose of the fowls. After all the
trouble that has taken place over the keep
ing of poultry yards in cities, it seems as
if people ought 10 understand by this time
that it is rot a proper thing TO do. a
chicken coop is very nice possession, II
one is living on farm or in village,
where the atmosphere is quiet and pasto-
raj and there is plenty Of room; but to
keep one in a city back yard is cruelty
both to the hens and the neighbors Yet
some people will persist In doing it.
There is nothing quite so provoking as
the crow of an active and conscientious
young cock in the early morning. He re-
iterates one particular phrase with the
most heartrending zeal, at irregular In
tervals; but he always manages t" bring
out his "Cock-a- doodle-doo.' Just as his
victim is dropping into a doze: And the
consequence of this early morning con-
cert is that the nervous and irritable per-
son whose sleep has been broken by the
vociferous fowls of his next-door neigh
Dor comes to the breakfast table ready to
murder somebody on sight; while, in the
case Of serious illness the growing of these
birds may actually affect patients chance
for life. There is probably no thickly set
tied neighborhood in which the presence of
chickens Is entirely acceptable, and there
ought to be law against their being kept
in such places.
This applies also to various other pets
given to expressing their feelings in sound,
parrots among the number. healthy
parrot with few definite accomplishments

by its shrill and distinct iteration OF one
