teenth and Harrison streets. Friday and
Saturday. May As, afternoons at s;
nights at s, is perhaps one of the most
wonderful of its kind in the United
States. The intelligence Of these ponies

all done by kindness. Every animal
answers promptly to his name, and does
everything he is told to do except talk.
Professor Gentry has 124 dogs, 81 ponies,
% monkeys, and 2 small performing ele-
plants AZ inches n As inches high. The
ponies are all Shetland except Eureka
and "DOtty Dimple,' which are East
India horses" the only two of the kind
in the country. The dogs comprise ev-
cry species from the Russian Poodle to
the Indian curr, but they are smart. The

the trick of Omaha" and Major and

very fine. The pony drill is superb. as

Expensive Burial Fees.

Burial in Westminster abbey is not, of
course. question of money. but there
are certain fees charged for intcrment
within that ancient pile. Formerly the
fee amounted to $50 or $500. Dean
Stanley introduced many reforms in the
scale of charges, with the result that the
maximum cost is now 5000. 1t may,
however. be 500 less. The variations in
the cost arise in connection with the con-
tlibution demanded for the fabric fund,
which is $50. $3.50 or $3.50. according to
the place of intcrmcnt.
Other items in the bill are S160 for fees
to the dean. canonS, choir and vcrgers
and Sl11 on account of silk, scarfS, hat
bands and gloves to the clergy. choir and

Last year the city of Key West had
4 fire record which no other city in the
country can equal. With population
Of over 10000 the damage by fire since
Aug. 20, 1898, will not reach S.. In
that time the fire engines have re-
sponded to two alarms, but in neither
case was 1t necessary for them to play

made more remarkable by the fact that

previous was only $1,000 and has not
averaged $4,000 year since 1856.
