ter now, whether anything was wrong
twenty-one years ago or not. Naturally.
when the only occupants of the pound are
frlendless dogs without any owners to in
vestigate their condition and write to the
papers, nothing was said of their suffer-
ings, but when pet animals are crowded
in with dogs suffering from various canine
diseases, when they are exposed to the
weather by inadequate shelter at the
pound, their owners are likely to protest.
Altogether, il is hard to see that this
plaintive expostulation ON the part of the
Commissioners amounts to anything. No
particular reason is given for Withholding
this opportunity from the Humane Society,
and it is not explained why the Commits
sicners are so anxious to retain control of
the pound. The dog owners of the District
are DESTROYS that something should lie G1ne
to remedy the present state OF affairs,
and there really seems to be no reason why
the Humane Society is not fitted to carry
on the reform.

GRANTS LOVE OF HORSES.
How He Encouraged the Artillery
men to Take Home Bay Bet.
(From the Chicago 1nter-Ocean-)


General Grant" said the colonel, "wAs
a close observer of men and horses. His
eye went over the horses of an artillery
company of cavalry regiment lighting
up with appreciation of the soldlerly quail
ity of horses as well as the soldierly quail
ity of men. After the surrender at APP
pomattox instirctively his sympathies went
out to the Coufederases who owned and
were attached to their horses. and enc Of
the first things he thought OF was some
scheme by which the men might be per-
mitted TO take the horses home. l don't
believe there is an old cayalryTuan that
served in the Confederate service but
warmed to General Grant from that
minute.
Il have always thought that General
Grants influence had much to do with in
augurating the policy that permitted many
of our own cavalry and artillery men to
smuggle home or TO purchase at a mere
song favorite horses or company pets. IN
one case | know that he openly encouraged
the men of an artillery company 10 carry
home bay mare that had won a peculiar
reputation. There was not finer locking
mare in any artillery company than Bay
Bet. She was purchased on her good looks
and her spirit but she had never been har-
messed and she would not work in team.
She caused much trouble that she Was
finally assigned TO one OF the officers as
riding horse. In weeks and months CT ser
vice she developed the genuine dramatic
battle spirit. She carried herself as finely
as any horse in the service.
ION one occasion, when good many CT
the horses were shot. the captain as
last resort ordered that Bay Bet he
put into harness. that the guns might be
dragged to a new position Everyone eX-
pccted to see trouble but Bet accepted the
5itua ton and we whirled TO the new line
with the mare showing as finely as she
would in q cavalry charge. The boys
cheered and cheered her. and the rebels
probably supposed that the cheers meant
victory on some part of the line. After
that Bay Bet was one of the most service
able horses in the company, but she would
never bear a whip.
she was taken home and for soma
months was allowed to play about the
farm at her will. In the fall it was de-
cided to use her in blowing. She took to
the harness we'll enough, q little skittish
over the pillow, and went to work like an
old stager But early in the day the man
driving the team struck her with a whip.
She was furious on the instant and ran
away. dragging the pillow and the old farm
horse after her across the field in the style
of cavalry horse careering to the front,
struck suag of a tree projecting from the
ground and killed herself. The boys OF
the company always believed that, hui
inflated by the whip. she committed sui

GERMAN SINGING FESTIVAL.
The President to BE Invited to At
tend the Event.

NEW YORK, April 29.-The United
Singers of Brooklyn, at meeting of dele
gates in Arion Hall today, appointed
committee consisting of S. X Saenger, the
president; DR.. ". john Schildge, and Au-
gust II. Tiemann to go to Washington and
invite President Mckinley, on behalf of
the United Singers and the Northeastern
Saengerbund, to attend the great singing
festival to be held in the Thirteenth Reg
iment Armory early in July. The same
committee will also confer with Ambas-
sador Won Holleben and be guided by him
as to how to proceed TO secure an audience
with Emperor William and thank him on
behalf of the Northeastern Saengerbund
for the Kaiser prize which is to be COM
peted for at the festival. and to present
him with a souvenir of the event.
OF these souvenirs only three are being
made. One is to be given to the Emperor
another to President Mckinley, and the
United Singers will retain the third
The delegates decided to give $50 to
Adam Hatchman, who composed the song
which is TO be sung for the Emperors
prize. Hatchman lives in Williamsburg.
1t was decided to appropriate $500 for
souvenirs of the festival to be distributed
to the thousands of public school children
who are to participate in the children5
choir
The time for the entry of singing socie-
ties to participate in the festival expired
today. 1t was announced that thirty eight
societies outside OF tine borough of Brook
Ign would take part. This is rather a dis
appointment to the United Singers in view
of the fact that at previous festivals Of
this kind from $50 to 175 societies indie

LUMPER MILLS TO SHUT DOWN.
Disqualification and Building Strikes
Advanced as the Cause

NORFOLK, Va, April 29.-The North
Carolina yellow Pine Lumber Association
VIII meet here May g. and it is expected
by the trade that shut down of twenty
mills may be ordered. 1t is stated that
the output of the mills in the association,
which aggregates perhaps one-half million
feet daily. has been piled up in the yards
for several months. and that TO relieve
the over-production. a curtailment of pro-
duction will probably be resorted to. The
industry for a year has been very profit
able, and much money has been made
The decrease in the demand is at
tributed to strikes in the building trade
East and West, the advance in the price
of builders hardware and other materials
used in house construction. The marking
up of these materials, the scarcity of
workmen, and the increased cost of labor
have deferred many frcm building who
mean to do so. The fact that the com
bination has repeatedly advanced the price
of yellow pine has also been a factor in
retarding the sale of the product. Whether
there will be general shutdown or some
other measure taken to cut down produc-
tion will not be definitely known until the
meeting occurs, but shutdown is now
contemplated

The Dog Pound.

The bill providing that the Washington
Humane Society shall be invested with
the management of the dog pound does not
meet with the approval OF the District
Commissioners. They claim that this is
a municipal matter. Their report on the
bill says:
at involves considerably than the ques-
ton of sympathy with the animals impounded, IS
pecially at such a time the present. when
rabies is existing IN the city. The pound service
las been in operation organized during
twcnty-one years, and there has been but ono
prosecution against its employees in all that time,
ard that ended in acquittal it seems fair to pre-
sumo that in such sensitive matter the i'm
pounding Of pet and other dogs for that period Of
time tho service must have been reasonably satis-
factory TO have established such record
1t is little difficult to see what all
this has to do with the question under
discussion. 1t is proposed that the HUI
name Society relieve the Commissioners
OF the work of caring for pet and other
dogs" which may be impounded. A suf
fcient sum is to be appropriated to the
society for the care and maintenance of
the pound. if such a sum shall be neces-
sary. and it will report annually to the Com
missioners, giving an account of its re-
ceipts and disbursements. II is not sup
posed that the society Will make any
money out of this transaction, or that the
Commissioners will lose any; and it is rea-
sopsbly claimed that the dogs will be made
comfortable by an association whose ex-
press purpose is TO relieve the suffering
and secure the comfort of all dumb ami
mails. The fact that rabies is said to
compelled TO wear muzzles when they go
abrosd, has nothing TO do with the case.
il is hardly reasonable TO suppose that
the Humane Society will be any more
anxious than the Commissioners to let
mad dogs run at large. II their humanity
does rot extend 10 sympathy with men,
women, and children who might be bitten.
il viii at least lead them 10 secure the
protection Of animals. But there is really
no reason 10 think that the members OF
the Humane Society are less sensitive TO
the dangers OF nydrophobis than other peo-
pie. They ought to know something about
dogs, since the study OF animals is tteir
especial business.
The Commissioners state that the pound
service has existed twenty -one years in
its present state, and nobody has found
any fault That does not by any means
prove that no criticism ought to be made
There has probably never been a time
when SO many people we're aroused 10

!.ekSsnts of Washington have had their
pet dogs taken from their front steps or
CIT c; their door yards, and have been
obliged TO go down to the pound and get
the animals. They have thus had a chance
TO observe the conditions which exist
there. and the number OF complaints
showe-ed upon the Commissioners
through the columns Of the daily
papers. prove that something is the mat

Boer Hopes of intervention.

According to European dispatches yes
terday the Boer ENJOYS now in Europe
have been generally warned that they need
expect nothing in the way of intervention.
and that their only hope for comparatively
easy terms will lie in an immediate over
ture of peace to England This would in
voye the loss of internal independence,
but would put stop 10 useless bloodshed.
1t is not regarded as probable that
Kruger and his advisers will be inclined
TO act upon such an admonition very soon
although the hour is calculable when they
Will be compelled TO, in view of conditions
which are already in sight. The Beers
are using up their military resources rapid
ly, and are in a poor situation to secure
fresh supplies. Their accumulations of am
muntion, food, and other stores are dis
appearing and decided shortage of both
fixed and small arm ammunition is report
ed. The war may rot be brought TO an
end for months yet. but the result can no
longer be doubted by the most dense and
fsnatical of the burghers.
Perhaps, in these circumstances. It is IN
fortunate for the South African Dutch that
they seem to count confidently upon their
ability to force the Mckinley Administra-
ton into some course that will secure
peace with independence. Their emissar-
les are coming here, and have arranged
their date of sailing so as to bring them
into the United States coincidently with
the meeting of the Philadelphia Conven-
ton. What particular point they hope
10 make by such a strategical movement,
IL would be difficult to conceive. There is
absolutely no chance that this Government
would or could interfere. One or another
political party might be willing and even
anxious to indulge in resolutions or even
platform declarations of sympathy; but
utterances of that sort would be partisan,
would be privately disclaimed and apol-
ogized for by the State Department. and
would be accepted abroad with contemptu-
Gus federation as Yankee campaign
bounce" There is nothing the Beers can
accomplish on this side that would in
the least tend TO check the march of Lord
Roberts on Pretoria, or the subsequent re-
organization of the Transvaal and Orange
Free States as British colonies.
There is possibility that struggle
which otherwise might be deplora5ly pro-
ionged, may be brought to a stop by the
field operations of the next few weeks.
Should Roberts, for instance, succeed in
such a movement as the British strategist,
General Green, is looking for. and, forcing
one of the Natal passes. crush the Beers
on the eastern side of the Drakensberg
range, then the end might come quickly.
But we are unable to see the least chance
for a settlement of the war which shall
not result from military conditions. Inter
vention from any quarter is not to be
