a loss of some $2000 a year to the city treasury. This source of loss was sIu1,ped, and every bank in the city which was depository of the city'S funds of half ;l million dollars, thus afforded the city am pie protection against failure or disaster.
 Thus according to Mayor Hayes state ment the reforms which he has instituted have in less than a year effected saving of $771, ,502 .59, a reduction of the tax. -2te from $2 to $1.67, and with all this great saving improvement of the public service in every department. "I can say with abso. lute knowledge,"- he says, that there Is today no lobby connected with the city government of Baltimore. There are no commissions and no rake-offs. Every or flee holder does his work as he would for a well organized business house, being well paid for it, and knowing that no political influence is going to disturb him so long as he does his duty.'
 MT. Hayes attributes the success of the new system in large part to the restric- tions which it places upon the council. He says:
 "The vulnerable point of all city govern ment is the~City Council, and the value or any new charter is in its efficacy in check ing the council. The voting away or money for petty local interests, the trading ef 1n- fiuence and votes and the whole miserable business of small ward and precinct poll tics, account for very large part of the profgacy in municipal expenditure. That is where the new charter of Baltimore Is of incalculable value.
 After study of all the municipal char ters of the world, I made radical depart ure in the present charter of Baltimore. It ties up the City Council. The council cannot increase, but 1t may decrease the annual estimates. It can increase but 1t cannot decrease the income. In the second branch, which is the higher branch, three votes uphold the Mayors veto. With this power we have been able to do things, and what Baltimore has done can be done in any city of the world"
 A system which is capable Of accomplish inc so mich in so short a time is worth testing in other sections Mayor Hayes oi. fers to send copies of the new charter or Baltimore to those desiring them. His cor rect address is "Hon Thomas G. Hayes' Mayor Baltimore, Md"

Boston to New York and Miss Hope ran over to Philadelphia one morning to see some friends and incidentally to see the little sick dog. When she asked to see her poor little Nero the keeper brought out brute about the size of yeariing calf which growled and snarled at Miss Hope and frightened her into fits.
 "Oh, but you don't understand" she said as the big dog showed its ugly row of teeth. 'I want my dear little Nero. I don't want this dog at all My Nero is a tiny little thing and not bit like this.'
 "Yes, madam" the dog man explained, "this Is your dog. It's Danish bloodhound and they grow very rapidly. In another week or two he'll be fully grown. Why. just look at this collar, ma'am. The only place he can wear 1t now is on his front foot" And there, sure enough. on the front of the brute was the pretty little collar with its inscribed name.
 Mss Hope knew Nero could never be the same to her and she sadly went back to New York leaving him at the kennel. for she knew he could only be taken around the country as excess baggage and

 Madame Modjeska announces her abso- lute farewell to America as requiring two years to cover all the cities of the country -there being so many more cities than when she first visited the United States. In recent interview she says: 'l have decided that Wagenhals and Kemper are the most fitting managers in connection with whom to make my withdrawal from before the American public"
 Madame Modjeska writes a friend in New York that her season under the direction of Wagenhals and Kemper is the most agreeable and comfortable that she has ever known-besides, she says, We are doing very large business and my imper- sonation of Constance in King John is enthusiastically received"

BERYLE HOPE.
The Actress is Decidedly Attached to
 Dogs.

Beryl Hope of the "Way Down East Com pany'' soon to appear here is devotedly attached to dogs and at present her con- stant companion is a Boston terrier named after the hero of San Juan Hill. Teddy is well trained and usually occupies place eIs ouM sIoloe Ieulo ep1 10 suooI eul olup suoTsInoxe ssYel GIIeuorseooo GU u5noplIe 'uooI suIsseIp Isq UT HunIl s.edoH ssIN uo 1lis friends. One of his favorte tricks is that of catching rope in his teeth and holding on while the rope is drawn up into the flies. Of course Tedy doesn't make the perilous flight clear up to the roof but he does go up several feet from the stage at times But Teddy is not the only dog Miss Hope has honored with her devotion.

Last season before Teddy had appeared on the scene a friend in Boston presented her with tiny greyhound It was such a tiny creature and so dainty Miss Hope im- mediately fell captive too its Vaccinations and nothing was too good-for Nero, as she ohristened the pet. She bought a collar with Nero's name inscribed thereon and the little animal proudly bore the mark of es- teem. Then the dog fell Ill and Opeo Les- lie. the HI Holer of the Way Down East" cast, advised that the little creature be sent to Philadelphia to well-known kennel in the Quaker City. This was done.

 When she got back to New York and went to her hotel she found a surprise awaiting her There was the real Nero the little dog she had loved in Boston, and not any bigger than when she first saw him. The whole Philadelphia affair was joke perpetrated by Mir Leslie who had planned everything about the affair and who hugely enjoyed the result. Nero is now down on Miss Hopes Long Island farm while her Boston terrier Is making the tour of the country with her.
