Badly Gored.

Paterson. n. J.. Dec. 25.-A fine St.
Bernard dog, belonging to James Nc
Cam of Stony road. had a fight to a fin
ish with a billy goat, yesterday after
noon.
The goat was browsing among the
rubbish on the dumping ground when
the dog came across II. Billy resented
the manner in which the dog snifed
around him. and, posing himself on his
hind feet, he butted the dog in the ribs.

the fighting blood of the dog. and he

coiled from the butting he got. The dog
then changed his tactics. He made a

OUR CONSULAR SERVICE.
Congressman Fayne Throws the Of
fcials Some Bouquets.

New York, Dec. congressman Sc
reno E. Payne, chairman of the ways
and means committee, is in the city on
his way from Washington to spend
Christmas at his home in Auburn.
"One of the gratifying things to the
experienced observer of national
affairs" said Congressman Payne, sis
the growing efficiency of our consular
service. A few years ago the service
was rather inefficient and a. consular
post was looked upon as a berth for a.
politician who wanted an easy job. Of
late years all this has been changed.
"Our consuls now are probably the
most efficient in the world. Their re-
ports on market conditions and manu-
features abroad are in many instances
models of comprehensive intelligence of
the sort that is needed by our manufac-
turers. One OF the best testimonials to
their excellence is the criticism in the
leading countries of Europe that our
eonsuls tell too much about the secrets
of foreign manufacturers. This is par
ticularly true in Germany, where the
German press is quite wrought up about
the c1everness of many of our consuls in
getting hold of the inside facts
