AN OHIO TR.4fi EOY.

That is a touching tale of love, cru
 city and remorse which comes from
 Cumminsville, Ohio. Dr. Sarah V. Groff
 had a pet dog to which she was much attached. It was an Italian greyhound, and it's name was Dodo. The doctor, who was considered wealthy, fed her beloved on beefsteak and cream. They enjoyed each others society much, at least the doctor enjoyed the dogs so- ciety. The doctor was out late the other night, and on returning to her apartments the dog did something that didn't suit her. She took a pistol and shot her pet. Then, seized with re- morse for her cruelty she turned the pistol on herself and shot herself three times, the last shot proving fatal. So, if certain theories are true, she and her dog are now together in a happy land, far, far away
 Dr. Croft was about fifty years old and had an extensive practice, and some might think that for a woman of such age and experience she was hard ly adequate to the situation. But those who so think do not consider that a woman who could kill her pet dog un- could also kill herself unjus- tifiably. The doctor might have been as consistent as most people are, and she is certainly entitled to the forgive ness of the dog if she has met 1t lover there" or anywhere.

A new cure for consumption has made Its appearance in Chicago. It is tea made from the dried and puverized known as "beggars' lice," which grows in profusion about the commons and vacant lots of that city. Several who have tried it claim that it has helped them greatly, and many believe it will prove a specific for the dread malady.

CONSISTENT IND HOPEFUL.

MT. Harold Cox is the secretary of the famous Cobden club in England and he is consistent and hopeful in the face of the encroachments on English commerce by the United States. We are conscious, he says, of the injury done to our trade by the American tariff, and some of us are foolish enough to spring to the conclusion that We could avoid that injury by means of British tariff. We should, he adds, "only injure ourselves still fur ther. England, more than most coun- tries, is dependent for her prosperity on her foreign trade. In order to com mand neutral markets we must be able to produce at the lowest possible cost, and therefore it is imperative that the raw materials and the tools of our mul- hilarious industries and the food and clothing of our people should be free from taxation"
 As for the future MT. Cox says: It depends on ourselves. Much is made of the alleged loss of our industrial

According to Consul Haynes at { Rouen, there is a splendid chance for an enterprising American ice cream man to make money by manufacturing and selling ice cream and soda water in France. In some parts of France there is a deep seated prejudice against cool things, and physicians generally say that ice is most injurious to the health In other parts of the republic, however, the people are fond of ice cream and are required to pay extrava- gant prices for a small quantity of very poor quality. Consul Haynes says that he recently stopped at one ot the largest cafes at Rouen and asked for ire cream, ''It was served in a little glass" he reports, about the size of B wine glass. There was certainly not more than three level tablespoonfuls, and of a poor quality at that. The cost was twenty eents' Consul Haynes says that there is a splendid field in France for the sale of refrigerators and of ice making machinery. Few of the neople have ice refrigerators, at least in Rouen, and the butchers sell meats in very small quantities, enough to answer the customers wants for sin gle day only.

A new industry is promised for North 4 Carolina in the discovery of the mat tingreed in it's river marshes It has long been said that mating could be made only in China, because the reed suitable for its manufacture was found only in that country. Recently reed has been found growing in the greatest prOfusion in the waters of the Trent and Neuse rivers above Newborn, North ACarolina, which experts state is identi- gal with that used in China for making mating. This rush is a hardy plant and very rapid grower The stalks are from one-sxteenth to three -eighths of an inch in diameter, and grow to a Height of three to seven feet. The an- lnual Importation of mating into the Limited States from China Is estimated sa 1900, 100000 yards, which is sufficient

 tempt to manufacture it in this coun-

The State engineer of Nebraska has published a report on irrigation. It shows in the State 3,924 miles of irri- O84. and they water 1,69S,S31 acres One mile of canal irrigates 433 acres of ground, and the cost of the mile of canal is $1,216 while the increased val ue of the land is estimated at an even ten dollars on acre for the whole State. The cost of the canals per acre is less than $3; it is very little more than quarter of the estimated increase in the value of the land attributed to per- manent water spuply.

A new religious sect is said to be making some progress among the color ed people in Boston and Everett. The fAaciety believes in baptism by immer- sion, the drinking of water instead of wine, for Gods blood, the taking of un1eavened bread for sacrament, the washing of the feet, the saluting of members with kiss, breathing on the head to impart the Holy Ghost, and the Keeping Of Saturday as the Sabbat tn. instead of Sunday. The sect styles it. self the Church of the Living God and the Saints of Christ. The minister who Is propagating the new faith char itably announces: 'I call all men liars who do not believe as we do."

MACARTHUR's RECEPTION.


MANILA, Jan. 1.-If President McKinley's
New Years reception proved greater than
that OF Gen. Macarthur it was not the
fault of the people of Manila. The recep-
ton was the first official function at which
the Americans and Filipinos have mingled
In social way. For three hours a stream
of vehicles wound through the grounds of
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS residence and dis
charged their callers-official and civilian
most OF them natives. though there was a
sprinkling of foreigners. The American
flag. punches OF Nipa flowers and vines pre-
dominated In the decorations throughout
the mansion.
Admiral Remy received the callers by the
side OF Gen. Macarthur and the wives of
several generals assisted. The introduce
tions were made by Gen. MacArthur's staff
assisted by members OK the staff of Ad
miral Remy. The callers after having been
introduced. passed cut upon a broad hal.

1.-The Boer invaders now number 5,Ooo.
The western invasion gives the most con-
Germ. 1t has split into two divisions,
which are marching like the prongs OF
fork, one by way of Sutherland toward
Malmesbury, and the other toward Beau
fortwest. The enemy are now ranging over
immense tracts of territory, necessitating
the employment of army corps to deal
with them. Lord Kitchener has poured
troops into the disturbed areas, but the
fugitive tactics of the Beers have, to
large extent, neutralized his precautions
1t was felt that the only means of ex-
Guiding the invaders from the rich districts
in the western part of the colony was
to call out the farmers. To-day's teie-
grams promise splendid response from
the eastern portion, but the western is
doubtful, not 80 per cent. of the population
being regarded as loyal. Hence the Boer
concentration in that direction. Letters
are arriving here detailing damage and
robbery by the invaders and beseeching
military assistance. Any action on the
part of the colony will not abate the urgent
need of large achievements"

LONDON, Jan. 1.-General Kitchener has

General Knox, who has been following
up De Wet, reports that he has captured
some horses, five wagons with supplies and
5000 rounds of ammunition. He has re-
leased and allowed to go to their farms
seventy-six Boer prisoners, who were taken
at De Vets laager and who were being
forced to fight
General French recently captured twelve
prisoners and large amount OF carts ana
cattle. Among the prisoners were a dis-
patch rider bearing a letter from Beyers for
Smuts"
1.-The aspect of affairs is scarcely less
gloomy" says the Cape Town correspond
ent of the Times, than at the beginning
OF 1900. The invading Beers are numerically
fewer, but they have penetrated further
south and their presence in such centers of
hostile Dutch feeling as GRAF Reinet con-
stitutes an element of danger which did not
exist last January. The proclamation cali
ing for volunteers comes very late. In
vaders have been enabled to obtain fresh
horses. All the horses in the colony ought
to have been Communicated or bought at
the first sign of invasion" The correspond
ent complains of the inertia and reticence
of the authorities.

New YorI's Stone Cutters Law i'm vio-
Iation of ANTITRUST Statute.

NEW YORK, JAN by an opinion by
the Appellate Division yesterday, the act
of 1885, known generally the stone
cutters law" Is made imperative The
statute enacted five years ago required
that all stone used in municipal work in
this State except paving blocks and
crushed stone. should be worked, dressed
and carved within the boundaries of the
State. The opinion was based on an ac-
ton brought in the Supreme Court by
Ralph j. Treat. a contractor. to obtain
s3,2S1 as installment sewer work.
Controller Coler declined TO pay on the
ground that Treat was not using stone
cut in this State and he was sustained by
the lower court. The relator contended
that the stone law was in contraven-
ton of the commerce laws of the Con-
stitution of the United States and void.
He also alleged that the clause i'm the con-
tract inserted in pursuance of the statute
of July 3 1900, declaring illegal various
contracts, combinations conspiracies in
restraint of trade commerce among the
several States, He made further claim
that the statute is in conflict with the
State Constitution and the fourteenth
amendment of the United States Con-
Stitution.

FAR FROM THE EARTH.
The New Comet Eighty Million Miles
Away and Receding Further.

LICK OBSERVATORY, Cal, JAN l.
The comet recently discovered by Giovanni
Ciaconini, at Nice, France, in the con-
stellation of Thetis, has been observed
here the past week by Mr.. Aitken. 1t is
a faint object of the eleventh magnitude,
and therefore requires telescope of con-
siderable size to observe it. Mr.. Aiken
has determined the path in which the
comet is moving. Its perihelion passage
or time of its nearest approach to the sun
occurred on Dec. l at a distance only 2
per cent. smaller than the earth's distance
from the sun. The plane of its orbit makes
an angle of 81 degrees with the ecliptic and
intersects il in longitude 1913 degrees The
present distance of the comet from the
earth is some 100000 miles. and the dis
lance is increasing. The brightness is de-
creasing so there Is. no chance that the
object will be visible without a telescope
