ANTIPATHIES OF DOGS.
Great Aversion Is Shown to Some In- animate Objects by the
 Canines.

Persons who are fond of dogs cannot fail to notice what very odd antiquities they take. A pug dog owned bp an up- town man showed the greatest aversion to bags of charcoal, purchased by the owner in winter to conserve the heat of the fire. If one of these bags was placed across the threshold of a room the dog would bark and spring at it with the greatest demonstration of ferocity of which dog is capable; but he would not touch the offending object.
 The production of the charcoal bag was found to be much more effective punishment and means of restraint than the severest whipping.
 A man who heard this story told an- another, says the Philadelphia Record, concerning his Gordon setter, which manifests the most extravagant terror at the sight of bicycle pump. At the approach of the pump he will scurry away, barking shrilly in the widest excitement. At times he will become so infuriated as to leap toward it, but he always turns tail before actually touching it, and the sight of the pump will subdue him when all other meth ods of correction fail.

A million and half of dollars were expended in constructing new lines during the year.

In about three weeks the citizens or this city will be called upon to vote for man to attend the constitutional convention. There are many good men amongst us who would be glad to go to that convention, and they could, nc doubt, perform the duties attendant upon them in a capable manner. 1t hardly seems necessary or even just the proper thing to send all repubii- cans. Waterbury is a democratic city, as has been shown on many occasions. and it seems right and proper, with aii due respect for the good republicans that have been mentioned, that this. city should send a democrat. The fl- vision of the wards in Waterbury shows what the republicans can ana will do when they get the chance. It is all well enough to urge that politics be kept out of the constitutional con ventioIf, but we would urge upon the people of this city to see to it that the ablest man in the party is nominated and elected. Don't allow the opposi- ton to make a republican love feast of the convention to be held in January.

tion in New York who are so expert
 that their friends have asserted that they could knock out most profession als in their class. A dozen friends of one such amateur learned to their cost some time ago that their coni- dence was misplaced. The amateur has held commission in crack na- tional guard organization and he was in his college days a skilled oarsman. He was not averse to a friendly little mill with well-known professional if it could be pulled off without pub licity. A room was engaged in Brook lyn and the whole affair was arranged with the greatest secrecy. The pro- fessional brought over with him three friends who were sworn to silence. The amateurs friends came in small parties and when time was called for the first round everyone settled down for | sporting evening. It lasted only four rounds and then the amateur was knocked out. The professional was generous enough to say that he had proved "hard proposition" but that lid not wipe out defeat.

CASHING A CHECK.
Difficulties Experienced in a Strange City by a WelI-Knorn New York
 Newspaper Man.

The difficulties of cashing check in a strange city were experienced the other night in Boston by we'll known New York newspaper man, who con ducts one of the chief departments of one of the principal metropolitan journal, relates the New York Times. It happens that he has no friends in the Hub; that is, no acquaintances. In his search for some one to cash his check and it was all he had except.a few cents he found several people who, when he told them who he was confessed to be daily readers of his writings, but either they were temporarily impecuni- ous or doubtful that he was the man he pretended to be.
 He had been on vacation in rural district, where the natives made no hesitation of giving him greenbacks for the newspaper checks, but when he struck the city he found things entire ly different. The hotel clerk remem- bered him IS a guest of June, and rec ognized the indorsement of the check and the signature on the register as the same; but he said that that would not serve as identification. No news paper man knew him except by reputa- tion, and, after plodding from one of- flee to another, he was obliged to ask his office to telegraph on description of his personal appearance. Then, and not until them, did he succeed in get ting ahead of the incredulity of the hotel clerk and secure money enough to settle his bill and buy his ticket back to New York

"American supremacy.v

In the new issue of the London Fortnightly Review there appears an anonymous article on American Su- premacy,' says the New York Trib- une, that is likely to attract much attention. The author considers the notion of Europe being overwhelmed by the boundless production of the United States most fantastic fig ment of the imagination. Upon the new presidents recognition of the limits of American supremacy, he argued, the commercial and political fortunes of the whole world may in no little degree depend. He goes on to show that England will make a bad mistake if she opposes the wishes of America in regard to the isthmian canal. The United States should hold the iron keys of the gate of the two oceans, and should have the power to close it against enemies.

How to get increased facilities in of people to different parts of the city has been troublesome question. Briefly summarizing" says a writer in the New England Engineering Maga- zine. rapid transit in London and it's suburbs depends upon a widespread and radical application of electricity, and this is of even more importance than the creation of new tunnels. The latter should be built according to well matured plans, under a central author ity, and form a network following main arteries of traffic and connecting busy centers with other centers, and with outlying districts and suburban stations. The roads should form part of general system, under single management and responsibility. Classes should be abolished, one regu- lar rate of fare established, with work men's fares in limited hours, and there should be free exchange except on li'n- ited routes, or within two zones. To comotive practice should be abolished, and trains operated i'll small units which could be combined at will. Elec- tric trans should be provided in place of many of the bus lines on crowded streets. and radiate from every termi- nus of tubular railways and from most of the suburban stations. Every steam railway should equip at least it's subur- ban service with electricity on plan which permits of variable train lengths. plural control, high schedule speeds, and the maximum use of exist ing trackage."

In discussing the changes of style which have taken place among artists in these later days, writer in one of the recent magazines says that formerly painters of interiors and land- scapes took for subjects particular and finished things, and endeayored by, exact portrayal to make a solid and distinct reality stand forth; to-day real objects, means rather than ends, serve. to render sensible the manifold acci-. dents of air and light. It is all the di- vine poem of air and light that the modern painter proposes to celebrate. Poetry has followed the evolution of painting. It emphasizes less the pre- else contours and local circumstances which make up the real object, than the eternal properties peculiar to the material of which the object is a cas- ual example, and than the everlasting laws of life which write themselves for a moment in the subject. In the woods and fields and mountains Viele- Griffin did not percieye Touraine or Tuscany, but the hour and season, the mobile picture laid upon things by eternal time. The sea of NJ. de Regnier is not the sea of Jersey or of Gascony; it ;s the sea, the circuit of innumerable b:l- lows, in which is expressed an incom- prehensible fuidity-the universal es- sence of the water. The moment and the movement. this is what the sym bolist painter translates. He shows life in things rather than the things themselves. He is the painter of eter- nal continuity through fieeting forms. =

SERVED GEN. JACKSON.
Death of Alfred Jackson, the Oldest Servant Who Saw the Press
 ident Die.


 A picturesque character of the south has just passed away in Alfred Jack son, the body servant of President An drew Jackson, relates the New York Sun. He was 96 years old and his death removed the last of the family of serv- ants of the celebrated Hermitage un- der it's first master.
 The reputation. of Uncle Alfred,'' as he was known to thousands, is national. For years he had been the most inter- esting figure at the Hermitage, where he had lived almost a century. He was born on the Hermitage farm soon after Gen. Jackson made that beautiful spot his home. When the civil war broke out he and his wife, Gracey, alone of the servants, stayed with their mis- tress, never leaving the place for an hour.
 In the lifetime of Gen. Jackson the old darky was one of the most favored servants, and when the great man passed away Alfred was at his bedside. His chief characteristic was always his extreme loyalty to GeI-Jackson. Oth- CT men attained to son;e sort of reputa- ton, but none-to him-ever reached the generals pinnacle of fame. When Alfred was presented to ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes he merely said:
 Eff you had been as great a man as Ginral Jackson could most shake yo' hand off"
 The old servants greatest desire was to be buried in the garden near the last resting place of his foSmer master, his ideal of all greatness, and he has his wish. He has been buried just north of the tomb of Gen. Jackson, the Ladies' Hermitage association directing this. IN. Y. Sun.

A Frame Rear Tenement Almost En-
 tirely Destroyed Last Night.
 An alarm was rung about 7:35 last evening from box No. 43, at the Grand avenue police station, for a fire in a tenement house in the rear of No. 199 Wallace street. The building in which the fire occurred was three-story frame structure, of which the lower floor was used by a MT. Mosco, who conducted a soda water bottling busi- ness there. Several families occupied apartments on the upper floors, but part of the house was vacant.
 The cause of the fire was unknown last night. When the alarm was given the fire had gained great headway, and when the firemen arrived the house was afire from cellar to garrett Close to the burning house and separated from it by "a space of only a few feet was a large brick tenement house, which was in imminent danger of catching fire. The f1remen directed their main efforts to saving this adjoining house, and in this they were successful after strenuous work.
 The frame tenement was almost com- pletely s,royed and the loss will amount to about $2,Ooo, it is believed.

THE EXECUTIONS IN PEKIN
WITNESSED BY TEN THOUSAND
 PERSONS.

MT. RookhiIl Fnyors Humane Methods
 -snnguinary Programme Favored by
 Some of the Foreign Kepresentatives Pekin, Feb. 26.-A crowd of fully 10000 persons witnessed the execution of Chi Siu |, and Hsu Cheng Yu, who were beheaded
 here to-day in accordance with the demands of the powers. The members of the various legations were conspicuously absent, feeling that if they were present they might seem to be gloating over their fallen adyersaries
 Every power, however, was largely repre- scented by military officers and soldiers, and there was also present a staff from each of the foreign powers. Besides these many missionaries witnessed the executions. The condemned men met death stoically, and In each case one blow severed the head from the body.
 At the time the execution was being car ried out the ministers held meeting and determined on the part of the majority to draw curtain over further demands for blood. United States Special Commissioner sRockhill sided strongly with those favoring and NM. Komura, Cologan, and De Giers, Brltish, Japanese, Spanish, and Russian ministers respectively. Others believe that China has not been sufficiently punished, ana that men should De executed Ill every city, town, and village where foreigners were injured. The minority is composed of those who were not here during the siege, in addition to Dr. Mumm Won Schwarzen- stein, the German minister, while those who were besieged here are of a more peaceabe frame of mind, including M de Giers and Senor de Cologan, both of whom are of the opinion that 1t was mistake to leave those who had suffered as the be- sieged ministers did to conduct the peace negotiations with the Chinese However, It Is safe to say that little more bloodshed will be demanded.
