ALL FOR THE SAKE OF STYLE.
Cruelty Gets the Swell Set of New York
Into Trouble.

The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals has seized a lot of
the trappings of the horses of the
swell society folks of New York. The
social swells desire to have their
horses appear to be spirited and fret
full animals, and to secure the re-
quired amount of nervousness they
have been subjocting the horses to the
torture of the "burr' bit. The burr,
in its commonest form. is small piece
of leather set with stiff bristles which
is placed on the oft just inside toe
horses mouth, pressing into the ten
der lips and keeping the animal in II
constant state of irritation. Therefore
the animal champs, throws his head
about, and in appearance is stylish"
and spirited. Sometimes, says the
Times, mails and brass screws are
substituted for the bristles." Such is
foolish pride's demand upon humanity
The swells are willing to practice
cruelty upon a helpless dumb beast
and perpetrate a fake upon observers
for the sake of appearing stylish"

LEGISLATORS ARE EXEMPT.
Would Not Be Subject to Proposed Law
to Make Drunkenness Crime.

What are the boys who stay out late
at night and sometimes find it neces-
sary to cling to lamp posts on the way
home going to do when that bill of Mr..
Hardwick of Washington, making it
misdemeanor to get drunk on the
streets, to be seen drunk on the
streets or in any other public place,
passes the legislature? The bill has
been placed on the calendar and will
be taken up next week. There is de-
cided sentiment, strange to say, in
favor of this bill, and it would not be
surprise if it should pass both
branches of the general assembly. The
provisions of the bill will not apply to
future Legislators who go to Atlanta,
as the constitution of the state dis
tinctly says that no member of the
general assembly shall be arrested
during the session unless he has COM
mitted "a felony or a breach of the
peace.

THE MOLINEUX CASE.
Touching Devotion of the Prison.
er'S Father.

The entire country has grown weary
OF the continued legal pickering in the
case OF Roland B. Molineux. If the
prisoner is guilty of the heinous crime
charged he should be electrocuted
without more ado; if be is innocent he
should not be subjected to the punish
ment and humiliation of undergo Ding
trial after trial. The case has extend
ed over period of several years, and
has cost the state of New York mint
of money, and the prisoners father
almost his entire fortune.
At present six of the most noted
criminal lawyers IN the country are
fighting the case for all it is worth be.
fore the New York court of general
sessions on some triiing TECHNICAL
ties. Ex-Governor D. B. Hill is as
sisting in the prosecution, and Ex-Gov-
ernor Frank Black is associated with
the counsel for the defense
A pathetic feature of the case has
beer the touching devotion of the
prisoners father to his sons cause.
An aged veteran of the civil war, he
has expended almost his all in fighting
for what he believes his boys inno-
cence, and whatever may be thought
OF the son there is nothing but SYM
patty for the father.

Nothing Heard of Norwegian Pole
Chaser For Two Years.

Nothing Heard of Norwegian Pole
Chaser For Two Years.
The friends of Captain Otto Sverdrup
are beginning to wonder what has be-
come of him and the expedition which
he took to west Greenland in the sum
mer of $685. says the New York Sun.
Nothing has been heard from the party
Tor two years. Its base of operations
was Smith sound, where Peary has
had his headquarters for three years
pest The expedition spent year in
Peary's neighborhood, having failed,
on account of the ice, to get north
through the Smith sound channel. The
vessels that have recently returned
with news of Peary's brilliant success
in last years work report that nothing
has been seen or heard Of Sverdrup.
Sverdrup was the captain of the
Fran on Nansen's great voyage In arc
tic waters north of Europe and Asia.
He brought the Fran safely back TO
Europe. On June "a, 1898, Sverdrup
sailed from Christiania, Norway, on
the Fran with fifteen men for north
west Greenland. The principal pur-
pose of the expedition was to explore
and map the northern coast line or
Greenland and to make an attempt TO
connect Cape Washington, the most
northerly point known on the west
coast, with Independence bay, discoV-
cred by Peary on the east coast. Ihls
is the very work that Peary so success
fully accomplished last year. Mean
while Sverdrup has mysteriousiy dis-
appeared from view.
Reports from Norway speak OF the
proba bility that Sverdrup gave up MS
original purpose and improved the OPP
portunitv which open water may nave
offered to strike out directly toward
the mole. This is pure speculation Vi
4he sort that is always evoked by arc
+ic mysteries. 1t is more probable that
his vessel is frozen up in one OF the
narrow channels among the farry is
lands. But there is no reason YET ~
infer either that he has found the pole
or is imprisoned in the ice. III ne pass
cd through Jones sound. he was Oh tIe
threshold of the unknown. large menu

IF all has gone well with Sverdrup ana
