ADHERE TO RULE.

Action of Commissioners Respecting
1mpOunding of Dogs.
The District Commissioners continue to
reiterate their policy in regard to the re-
lease Of dogs from the city pound. Own
ers often complain to the District authori-
ties that their dog has been impounded
when they possess license for his main
tenance. He CHANGED to be captured per-
haps when his tag was lost or his collar
removed In cases of this kind the Com
missioners have adhered invariably TO the
ruling on the law on the subject to the ef-
feet that the pound fee of So required for
release has nothing whatsoever to do with
the license, but is separately and specific
ally a penalty for permitting the animal to
run at large minus the necessary tag.
The latest case brought to the attention
of the Commissioners is that of Samuel w.
Huntley of 457 G street northwest, repre-
sented by Edward G. Niles. Mr.. Niles re-
cites that Mr.. Huntley's bulldog was cap
tured by Poundmaster Einstein's crew Of
canine pursuers. The dog, he says, is kept
constantly chained, but on this occasion
had slipped his collar in some manner Mr.
Huntley showed his tag and license at the
pound, and yet the poundmaster refused to
let him have the dog until the sum of 81
was paid. Mr.. Niles characterized this ac-
tion as an injustice and asked a refund
OF the money paid, saying that the amount
was small, but the principle large.
Health Officer Woodward, under whose
supervision the pound is placed, has re-
ported upon the matter to the Commission
ers, saying that the dog, having been i'm
pounded while running at large without a
tag, the pound fee was legally and prop
erly collected. LAS the annual tax" he
continues, entities the payer to allow his
dog to run at large only when properly
tagged, fact which presumably was
known to Mr.. Huntley at the time of pay
ing such tax, / fail to see the slightest in
justice in requiring him to pay the pound
fee for allowing his dog to run at large un-
der other conditions. respectfully rec
ommend that the request be not complied

Senatorial

Once in the senate chamber John ].
Ingalls, was directing some remarks to
Senator Hoar- Of Massachusetts. The
other senator from that state, Mr..
Dawes, having come in while Mr.. In
gals was speaking, thought the words
were meant for his ear, and so, inter-
rupting, he asked ingalls, if he was d.
recting the remarks at him. The tall
senator turned slowly around, for MI.
Dawes sat behind him, and then, with
delicious information, but a n instant
wit, he said, II was directing my re-
marks to the successor of Charles Sum-
ner and not to the successor of Daniel
Webster"
The repartee has become traditional,
and the utterance was at ono placed
alongside Of that reply Of Conkling
to Senator Thurman, which is also ira.
ditional in the senate chamber.
Conkling was speaking, and Thur.
man had said, interrupting him, "Does
the senator aim his remarks at me;
he constantly turns to me" when
Mr.. Conkling, with delicious gravity.

was very friendly, said: when I turn

The Minnesota legislature is becom-
ing excited over the gigantic railroad
combines and the attorney general will
be asked to look into the matter so far
as these consultations in Minnesota
are concerned. The people need have
no fear of disastrous results to follow
the combination of the thousands OF
small railroad enterprises into a few
great systems. If such combines do
not prove beneficial to the public-if
instead of reduced transportation rates
and better facilities for doing business
these combinations prove obnoxious
and against public policy-the step to
government supervision will be a short
one. There need be no fear OF OPP
preston from combinations of wealth,
because if i%ntolerant they will disap-
pear like icebergs in the currents from
the tropics before the fury Of an
aroused public sentiment.

He Got the Business.

t'There are tricks even in trade
said.the old life insurance man. "About
ten years ago a couple of respectable
old"parties, man and wife, came to
town with 100000 or so that they:
wanted to put into an annuity. They
had neither chick mol child, kith nor
kin, and they wanted to finish their
lives In as much ease and luxury as
could be bought. So they made the
rounds of the life insurance companies,
getting their annuity figures and had
all the actuaries in town making cal
culations in the case.

Blank Dash company was a little bet

to hear what town the old parties came
from, and he suddenly remembered
that he had an old friend, q doctor,
