Army Pets and How They Are Kept.


Even the rough soldier who makes
a business of hunting his fellows for
the purpose of killing them seems to
retain a small portion of the kindness
and affectionateness that humans are
supposed to inherit from their ances-
tors. Many professional man-hunter

his rifle in the fond hope that he may
soon be able to poke the former into
the insides of fellow ION the other

will lay low one of 1.-The enemy" will
spend hours grooming pet horse or
will share his rations with a frowsy
little dog. IT is characteristic of Brit
ish soldiers to have regimental pets
creatures that come to the regiment by
chance or as the companion OF one
of the soldiers. 1t Is said that with
the great British army now operating
in South Africa, are hundreds of such
pets that go with the troops and endure
all the hardships of the campaign. The
famous Gordon highlanders took their
regimental parrot to the front and the
Welsh regiment had its pet goat. Dogs
are as much part of the army as
the soldiers themselves. 1t is told that
when it occasionally happens that the
commanding officer gives orders that
only a limited number Of dogs shall
accompany the troops many of the
soldiers carry knapsacks suspiciously
full, and that at the end of hard
days march Of twenty miles or so
the haversacks lose their bulk and
all the pet dogs of the regiment mys-
teriously reappear. Doubtless 1t was
a hard tramp for the soldiers, but

The twentieth century baby will
only have a bowling acquaintance with
Its parents. The baby of today Is quite
independent of its father and mother.
This is shown by the departure for
abroad few weeks ago of a young
couple of the Long Island colony who
left behind them an infant of but a
few months. The same week an equal
ly prominent pair arrived from Paris
in yacht, their youthful son and heir
following in steamer. OF course,
these fashionable children have a ret
niue of servants, nurses, and govern
esses In attendance on them, but the
manner In which they bear separation
from their kinsfolk speaks volumes for
the new education of children.

A correspondent of Southern paper
has come across an odd petition which
was drawn up in the year 1874 by six
teen young women of South Carolina,
and was addressed to the governor.
The petition stated that, whereas the
widows of the colony captured all the
matrimonial prizes, his excellency's Pc
titioners did humbly pray that all
bachelors should be prohibited from
marrying widows from that time forth.
The question recently raised In the

side of French engines will be revived
soon. Influential French firms are
complaining bitterly and are working
to secure the expulsion of the Ameri-
can locomotive. The latest defense
of the Minister of Public Works is
that the engines have been so perfect
ed by French engineers as to really
constitute a French product.

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT MEN.
A Meeting Is Held I'm the Interest of
Mr.. Dodge's Candidacy.

The delegates of the Thirteenth district
held a meeting at the Denison yesterday
afternoon and resolved to cast a solid vote
for the nomination of Mr. Dodge Steps
were taken at the meeting to perfect the
organization OF the Dodge forces, and
resolution was adopted in which it was de-
cided to leave everything TO those in charge
of Mr.. Dodge's candidacy. Mr.. NJ u. Dem
Arrest. OF EIkhart, one of those in charge of
Mr.. Dodge's candidacy. said shortly after
the meeting that the Dodge forces were not
only harmonious. out there was not a man

himself TO the utmost To nominate Mr.
Dodge. Said he: Eve are feeling greatly
encouraged. Since Columbus discovered
America there never has been a Governor
elected in this State north Of the Wabash
river. and we think IL is time we were rep
resented and recognized. The Thirteenth
district was carried by more than 1000

Senator Hanna,s Sneech.

After the demonstration at the close of
his address Chairman Nevin attempted to
proceed with the order of business in call
ing the congressional districts for their re-
spective selections of members of the COM
mittees, but the convention was bound to
call out Senator Hanna. In response to
the repeated calls Senator Hanna kept
shaking his head. During the day he was
worn out by visitors and had to keep his
seat while shaking hands at the hotel with
those who kept passing by to greet him.
The delegates would not listen to the call
for business till he responded and the gal
leries joined loudly in the calls for him till
Senator Hanna arose and spoke as follows:
Il am sorry that / have not the strength
nor the voice to comply with your request
and, therefore, 1 rise only to express my
feelings OF qualification at this kind recep-
tion and TO echo the sentiments expressed
by your chairman, that this convention is
a subject OF congratulation to the Repub-
licans of Ohio Iapplausel both as a repre-
sentative body and in carrying out the
spirit of the hour by the expression of
good cheer and good sentiment on every
side. 1t argues well for the Republican
party when We find gathered together such
a personnel filled with the kind of spirit
to-day.
"And. now that we have established the
fact that we do know our business fgreat
laughter and cheering]. my next suggestion
is that We proceed 10 do IL. fRenewed
cheering.l And 1 would modestly suggest
that from my standpoint, have plenty
of business TO do. AS your chairman has
said. the Republicans of Ohio and the Pc
publicans OF the United States are con-
fronted to-day with many new propositions
and issues thrown around us like tangled
grass in our pathway by the Democratic
party. attempting 10 raise new issues upon
every move or policy made by the govern
ment, seeking some issue. some opportu-
nifty to manifest their opposition to the
policy Of the Republican party.
II say the spirit OF the hour is one of
absolute fearlessness on the part of Re-
publicans. We are conscious, as your
chairman has said, of having fulfilled ev-
cry promise made We took this country
into our hands, and under our care after
four years of the greatest vicissitudes
through which we have ever passed in his
tory. At our convention In ST. Louis we
announced the policy and the doctrine of
the Republican party on which had been
builded the material interests for twenty
odd years. We promised such reforms and
economic measures would produce ma
terial benefits to the country. and we went
further and said that we will go beyond
even the ideals OF our fathers I'm the great
results which must come from the per-
petuation OF such a policy The best evi-
dence OF the success OF that policy IL In

Letter from Foraker-Other
Republican Conventions.

COLUMBUS, O., April 2l-The Repub-
lican State convention made great admin
istration demonstration here to-day. Usu-
ally there is only one keynote speech
that of the temporary chairman-but there
were two to-day, and the one that caused
more comment than any other convention
speech in the history Of Ohio Republicans
was by Senator Hanna. 1t was very much
of a Hanna day without discord.
The senator arrived early in the morning
and was engaged all forenoon In receiving
visitors. Several delegations called on him
in a body and he responded in speeches.
At the district meetings In the afternoon
his friends were selected on the new State
committee and other committees. There
were sharp contests In some districts but
they were mostly between so-called prefer
ences. When Senator Hanna entered the
convention hall there was a great demon
stration and he was forced to bow his ac-
acknowledgements from the platform. The
first thing the programme was a song
by Henry w. Frillman, the noted minstrel
singer. entitled I'VE Know Our Business" ("
This motto was used in the campaign when
Hanna was candidate for senator.
With two keynote speeches and other
proceedings there was no reference at any
time to currency, the tariff or any former
issues. After prayer by DR.. w. o. Thomp-
son, president of the Ohio State University,
State Chairman Myron A. Norris, OF
Youngstown. called the convention to or
der, but made no reference to old issues in
his address. Then Robert M. Nevin was
introduced as the temporary chairman and
he made a decisive hit I'm his forcible de-
livery and especially in the peculiar en-
phasis he put on the words "as an admiral
in referring to Dewey. Adverting to the
Porto Rico tariff bill he said:
when that measure is carefully consid-
cred, considered in reference to the needs
| and wants Of the people. 1T will be found
to be not only the wisest and the best but
the most charitable that could be enacted
And that measure will bring to the people
| Of Porto Rico in time education, happiness
and prosperity. j know there have been
| some differences of opinion in our own
ranks as to the tariff part of this measure,
some sentiment as to the Constitution fol-
| lowing the flag, but believe that when
the conditions and the wants and the needs
| Of the people are considered those diff
ferences will pass away. We must remem-
| Der that on that little island there were
| almost million people, 80 per cent. of
| them illiterate. unable to read or write,
and entirely unlearned in the ways of
government, and utterly untitled at this
| time to govern themselves. 1t is ex-
| pected by this measure that enough
revenue will be secured to pay the ex-
penses and in due time to educate and
bring the people up to our own standard
o. citizenship. and then we will incorporate
them into our own Union as full-grown
| citizens"
