DOG POUND MANAGEMENT.
The mmissiOners Oppose Giving
TO the Humane society.


The District Commissioners have re-
turned Senate bill 4,232 10 the Committee
on the District Of Columbia. with an un-
favorable report. This bill provides for
investing the Washington Humane Society
with the care, control, and management Of
the dog pound in and for the District of
Columbia.
In their reply, the Commissioners say
they have carefully considered the propo-
sition. and are unable TO see their way
clear to favorable report on thu same.
The management OF the dog pound they
declare TO be a municipal service. II the
opinion Of the Commissioners it involves
considerably more than the question OF
sympathy with the animals impoun led, es-
peeially at such a time as the present,
when, they insist, rabies exists in the city.
The pound service" the Commission
ers go on 10 say, has been in operation
as now organized during twenty-one years.
and there has been but one prosecution
against its employees in ali that time. and
IL ended in an acquittal II seems fair TO
presume that in such a sensitive matter
as the impounding OF pets and other dogs
for that period OF time the service must
have been reasonably satisfactory to have
established ssch a record.
The Commiss toner's feel dat il is only
just to themselves and 10 the service 10
state. although the income from the sale
of dog tags and furs for impounded ami
mails. has amounted annually 10 several
thousands Of dollars. sometimes 10 as
much as $4,000. and that although re-
peated and earnest requests have been
made for adequate appropriations 10 rem
der decent and proper service. Congress
has never seen At 70 allow the Commits
sioners any money with which 10 construct
suitable buildings furnish sufficient and
appropriate wagons, or an adequate force
OF men
IF the amount named in the bill for the
Humane Society, $500 had ever been or
could now be allowed the Commissioners.
IL IS believed that the work could be done
IN manner that would preYent all rea-
sonable complaint. The Commissioners are
OF the opinion that a better solution of
the question than that set forth in the
bill would be an adequate appropriation to
permit OF the proper performance OF the
work
Tue Commissioners. as well as the
Health Officer and the Poundmaster. are
always glad TO receive suggestions from
the Humane Society The Worl- is always
open TO their inspection and criticism
With desire TO do the work in the best
possible way and in a spirit o. hearty
sympathy with the Humane Society a will
insness 10 cooperate with them in their
good work. the Commissioners are of the
opinion that the management of the dog
pound should remain under their direction
as municipal matter. subject only To the
changed conditions referred to above OF
an adequate allowance for the proper con-
duct of the institution

CATHEDRAL TAPESTRIES.
One of the Rarest Collections In Ex-
fstence In New York

One of the Rarest Collections In Ex-
istence In New York.
The witty assertion that ''the United
States has no ruins and imports its Gu
riosities" finds some verlfication these
days in the crypt of st. John the Dl-
vine, the Protestant Episcopal cathe-
dral, now in process of erection on
Morningsido heights. The crypt was
opened more than a year ago to Sun
day service and its walls hung with
two Of series of y famous tapestries
destined for the mural decoration of
the completed cathedral
AS no work on tapestry is considered
complete without n description of these
new possessions, the story of their
coming to st. John the Divine is not
without interest. The subject of the
series is Scenes From the Life of
Christ" THE Visit of the Wise Men"
and "The Resurrection" are the sub
jects of the tapestries now hanging in
the crypt, "The Last Supper" having
recently been removed to make way
for the altar. The remainder of the
series is In storage to await the COM
pletion of the cathedral, for which
they were bought at a cost of $4,000
and bequeathed to the authorities as a
memorial by the late Mrs. Elizabeth
u. Coles.
AS the completion Of the Cathedral
of st. John the Divine VIII not be wit
messed by the present generation, these
famous tapestries are liable to be as
inaccessible to the eye of the new as
they were for half century to that of
the old world unless it pleases the au-
thOrties to replace those now in the
crypt from time to time by the pieces
in storage until the whole series has
been exhibited. Excepting. perhaps, |
the tapestries concentrating the his |
tory of Urban VIII. Scenes From the |
Life of Christ" are the most important |
weaves eXtant that bear witness to the |
of the papal tapestry manu-
factory that flourished ut Rome for 80
years under the patronage of Urban.-

The "amiable child" whose grave
near Grants tomb, in New York, is
marked by this inscription, Erected
to the memory of an amiable child, st.
Claire Pollock; died 10 July, 1897, in
the fifth year Of his age" has been the
subject of much sentimental prose and
verse. There has never been any ques-
ton as to his identity. He was the
son of George Pollock, who had q store
at % Front street and who lived at 20
Whitehall street. A recent examlna-
ton of the records Of Trinity church,
however, has disclosed the fact that
the amiable child whose curiously
marked grave has kept his memory
alive more than century was duly
baptized on Nov. IL, 1882.

IGNORANCE of the nIhIe.

ing about the disclosures lately made
by President Thwing Of the Western
Reserve university at Cleveland about
the defects of the rising generation in
knowledge of the Bible? DR.. Thwing
writes n great deal about college men
and college women and what they
know and what they ought to know,
and he takes pains to make his state
ments accurate. He suspected that
they did not know as much about the
Bible as they should, and to find out
how defective their knowledge was he
made an examination paper with %
simple Biblical illusions from the po-
ems Of Tennyson. which he submitted
to the freshman class of his own col
lege and afterward to the freshman
class Of woman's college In the east.
The illusions were TO things very ia
miliar, such as the mama in the will
derness. the striking of the rock, the
branding of Cain. Jephtha's father, ia.
cob's struggle with the angel. the mira
Gle Of Cana, the crown OF thorns and
the angel at the tomb. Yet not half

there came one battle upon which ev.
erything seemed to pivot. kilograms
from Washington said that the life Of
the nation depended on that struggle
