TALLULAH LYNCHING.
President to Recommend Payment
of Indemnity.

Washington, Oct. lb.-The presi-
dent will recommend to congress 'ne
payment of an indemnity to the iami
lies of the four Italians who wers
lynched at Tallulah, La, about TWO
wears ago. A report from special
agent of the department OF justice
clearly established the fact that Ine
men we're killed by the mob and none
of the perpetrators Of the crime were
ever punished by the state authorities,
Notwithstanding the representations Vi
the Italian government. The governor
of the state of Louisiana caused an IN
yestigation to be made and there were
some proceedings before grand jury,
but the result was that the national
government found itself bound to make
some sort of reparation in answer to the
Italian governments representations,
and this will take the form OF an indem-
nifty for each of the persons killed VINO
were Italian citizens at the time
of their death.

KENNEL OF RATTERS.
Located on the Roof of a Down
Town Chicago Building.
Some of It's Canine Inmates Never
Trod the Earth-Used to Keep .
Big Department store
Clear of Rats.

A dog kennel upon the roof Of .
six-story building surrounded by tan
Gl1yscrapers, in the midst Of the bust
est portion of the business center, II
one of the curiosities Chicago has to
offer.
This novel kennel. says the Chicago
Tribune, Is located upon the roof of
a prominent downtown theater and
Is the property of department store
Immediately adjoining 1t has been
maintained with great success for
three years.
The dogs in this kennel are fox ter
riers and are used by the manager
of the department store to keep the
place clear of rats that fairly over
ran the place before their introduce
ton.
The manager claims they are SUI
perior to cats or professional rat
catchers, as, unlike cats, they are
clearly in their habits, and unlike the
professional rat man they do get rid
Of the rats that infest the place, both
by killing and frightening them away.
Before we introduced these little
four-footed guardians the damage
wrought by rodents ran up into the
thousands of dollars every year; now
our loss is comparatively slight" said
the manager.
The dogs are turned into the store
by the night Waterman in the even
ing after the last customer has gone
and the last clerk has departed. They
scamper up and down the aisles, nos
ing behind boxes, barrels, and bales
Of goods. keeping up barking and

yelping that frightens all the long
tails away.
They killed from 20 to 30 rats every
night when they were first installed
as guardians of the stock, but now
their catch doesn't amount TO mat
many month.
They are in charge of the head jani-
tor of the store, who sees to 1t they
are supplied with the best Of food
such as milk, meat and dog biscuits
and their bedding consists Of soft
wooden blankets that have been too
badly damaged to be salable.
Their kennels are dry goods boxes
with door cut in one side, and are
lined inside with oilcloth and wooden
blankets in the winter time and OIL
cloth alone IN the summer.
They nave as playground what the
janitor calls their park" which is
formed by an iron fence about three
feet in height, setting just back OF
the cornice facing the street on one
side. Two sides are formed by the
sloping sides of mansard rising from
the gravelly roof which forms the
lawn of their playground, and the
fourth side is the wall of the depart
ment building.
The dogs seem perfectly contented
with their situation, and evidently
flourish in this high altitude. The
janitor claims the dogs are much
healthier than their relatives who live
in kennels upon the earth, and to
substantiate this claim points with
pride to the fact there has never been
single case of distemper among the
dogs, and he has been in charge for
more than two years.
There have never been less than six
and sometimes as high as 90 dogs in
the kennels at one time.
Twenty litters of puppies have been
born during the two years the janitor
has been in charge, averaging five
pups to the litter. This makes 100
dogs that have sprung to life upon
the rooftop in that time, and of that
number but one was lost, and it was
accidentally pushed over the edge Of
the roof into the areaway in the rear
Of the building and was crushed to
death by the fall of six stories.
There are at present seven dogs in
the kennels, and but one of them, q
bull terrier lately introduced, has
ever set foot upon the ground.
Perhaps as curious as anything con-
nected with these aerial kennels arc
the names the janitor, who is Of
poetic nature, has bestowed upon the
dogs. There are six fox terriers, the
males being named SKY" "Air,"
"Cloud," Smoke" and "Vapor," while
the female glories in the name of
Sunshine" The bull terrier, which
is as white as bull terriers can be,
DeArA the name Of "Soo4."
