THIS DOG LIKED SERMONS.
He Attended the Presbyterian Church
Regularly Except Some Noted
Preacher Was in Town.

Calvin, a distinguished looking yell
low dog, was first seen trotting down
the streets of Tennessee town upon
summer Sunday morning just as the
church bells were ringing, says the
Boston Globe.
He passed the Methodist and Baptist
churches without even turning his
head, halted tentatively ut the entrance
to the Episcopa! edifice, but went on to
the old school Presbyterian church,
which was square and red, and uncom-
promising-looking, slipped unobtru-
sively inside, lay down in side aisle,
dropped his nose between his paws, and
paid unwinking attention to real blue
light sermon, now and then softly
humping the floor with his tail ut the
most bristling doctrinal points.
Thus he earned his name-Calvin.
The whole town laughed over it, but
took Calvin himself to its heart. He
was free of every house, but boarded
round in manner to suggest itinerant
experience.
He would go three times day for
meals to one particular house for per-
haps week, then quarter himself upon
some family in quite the other edge of
town. In the matter of appetite he was
wholly catholic. He never recognized a
doctrinal difference in chicken bones
and buttermill1.
He slept always in the market house
where the town authorities had set for
him snug kennel. He might have
lived there altogether if he had chosen
the market keeper, in fact, was a lit
tie touchy over the fact that Calvin
would not eat at home. But the dog
chose his boarding house and kept to it
regularly, although sometimes it was
more than u mile from his proper
abode.
He had an appetite for eloquence as
catholic. He never missed a sermon or
prayer meetin" at his own church I'M
less some big man of another denom-
nation was preaching in town. Then
Calvin was sure to be among the big
mans hearers.
Once when the bishop came to preach
for the Methodists some boys tried to
coax Calvin to his own proper place. He
escorted them to the door of the Pres
byterian church, wagging his tail as
though conscious of good deed; but
the minute they stepped over the
threshold turned and went full tilt for
the bishops church, where he got a
place in front of the pulpit and listened
decorously for two hours.
He seemed to know instinctively
when distinguished visitors were ex-
pected. No matter whether they came
by boat, or train, or stage coach, he was
unfailingly on hand to greet them and
follow them to their stopping places.
He never missed political speaking,
though if he had u preference between
wing and democratic oratory, he kept
it to himself. He was the same with
arrivals and departures. Calvin sped
the parting as he had welcomed the
guest ut any hour of the "a.
How a creature SO excellent, so dig
nified and SO well beloved came to have
an enemy is hard to understand. It is
likely he suffered for his virtues, and
was poisoned by some thief intent on
market plumber. He was found stiff
and cold in his kennel one morning.
The city council voted him funeral
and passed resolutions of regret, to be
spread upon the minutes. The whole
town was sad, and all the children went
to the funeral.

WAS AN OVATION.
Admiral Dewey Receives the Plaudits
of the 100000 Who Witnessed
the Chicago Parade.

Chicago, May 2.-Tuesduy's celebra.
ton, the first in America at which Ad
miral George Dewey could be present
on the anniversary of the battle of Ma.
Mia bay, was worthy Of that famous
victory. Fully 100000 people gathered
along the line of march of the days pa.
rade, and for four hours the admiral
was busy bowling his acknowledgements
of cheers that met him from all Sides
When the parade entered the thickly.
crowded streets down town the admi-
raj met with u real reception. The
cheers made practically one continuous
roar, at many times SO loud that was
difficult to hear the music of the band
which marched ahead of the admiral's
carriage. The sidewalks were packed
from curb to walls, and every window
which afforded sight of the parade
was filled with as many heads as could
be thrust through it.
On the steps of theArt institute on
Michigan avenue were gathered 300
young women, a number of them clad
in white, being SO placed us to spell

containing the admiral approached,
their voices burst forth into "Sec the
Conquering Hero Come" and the
march was stopped until the song was
finished, the admiral expressing great
pleasure at the singing. Naval, mill
tary and civic organizations followed
the carriage containing the admiral
through miles of streets decorated with
flags, bunting and models of the cruis-
err Olympia, made from various mate
rails.
After traversing the business part
of the city the parade was reviewed by
Admiral Dewey in the presence of thou
sands of people wedged in literally
solid mass for blocks on either hand.
The parade required two hours to
pass the reviewing stand. The admiral
was kept occupied in acknowledging
salutes and in saluting the various
flags, some of which had been carried
in battle and showed marks of actual
fighting.

vented scores in either inning. The
two scores they got in the eighth inn
ing was due to an error OF Robinson in
throwing over second base and hit.
In her first inning Mitchell went
right to work and got in runs before
Chicago awakened to the fact that she
had run up against a strong team. We
were blanked in the second and made
more runs in the third. A blank was
drawn in the fourth and two runs we're
made in the fifth, 3 in the sixth and one
in the seventh. The last two innings
resulted in goose eggs for the home
team, but they had enough TO their
credit to win the gane.
I All the home team batted with regu-
larity and made some great hits when
they were needed. The fielding of the
homo team was remarkable, but very
few errors being made during the game
and only one OF those productive of q
run. Robinson is entitled to great
praise for the game he pitched, strik-
ing out six men. The catching of
Freeze elected great praise. j. q.
Scriven umpired the game and barring
one Or two decisions, on which the Chi
gos made vigorous kicks, he treated

Disappointed in their Efforts to ar
range a game of ball with the Sioux

Marquette Club consented to cross with
the Mitchell aggregation OF ball tossers
not anticipating anything of a possible
defeat. The arrangements were made
so late in the afternoon that it was im-
possible to get out much OF crowd
anyway few people thought that the
home team would be unable to make
anything of "A possible showing against
the Chicago club. But there we're
some surprises in store and these sur
prises were handed out as the game
progressed.
The home team put up an article of
ball that was really fne, and they
played with snap and vim that makes
ball playing interesting, Robinson
went in the box and pitched a magnifi-
cent game, and it was generally thought
that if he had been put in the game
with Sioux Falls, instead of the Sioux
City battery, that the Canaries would
not have won by so large score. 1t is
granted that the Chicago team had
played several games during the week
so had the Mitchell club and they were
practically on a par SO far as hard work
was compared.
The Marquettes went to bat first and
for six straight innings the boys shu
them out. At times there were two
men on bases and it required some gooc
work to keep them from scoring ant
at no time did the boys fail to come tt
scratch to prevent them from scoring
In the sixth and ninth innings the Chi
Cages had three men on bases and i
looked like there were going to be
some runs made. However the home

The first race was a match event be-
tween Nichols "Mrs. Capt. Murphy"
and Mernaugh's "Glador." 1t was a
half mile dash and was won by Glador,
time 50a. At the start Nichols mare |
threw shoe and cracked her hoof
two-thirds the way around and she
went some distance before she could
get into her stride. When she did she
made gains on Glador that showed her
quality Of running speed, and it was
thought If they had gone so yards far
ther, the mare would have won. She
was beaten by about length. The ac-
cident was very much regretted and it
may be the means of disabling the
mare for the balance of the season.
Nichols, however, is willing to make
another race but the Mernaugh people
do not seem particularly anxious to try
it again.
The next was special match pacing
race between James Lyons "Minnah
