GIVES A DOG LUNCHEON.
Harry Lehr Introduces an Innovation, in Social Doings in Fashion
 able New York

An innovation was introduced in social doings in New York the other day by Harry Lehr, who gave what was termed dog luncheon. It was what might be called a miniature Jog show, but it was small affair, and it is understood that there were not more than half dozen of tn canines present. When MT. Lehr sen out the invitations he stated that the guests were to bring their pet dogs, and those who came did so, and from what can be gathered all had an amusing time. There were present Tt this society dog show, besides MT. and Mrs. Lehr, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, Creighton Webb, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., Mrs. Oliver H. P. Bel ,tIont, James Lawrence Van, Alen, Mrs. John R. Drexel and Mrs Elisha Dyer. When the guests arrived they found that a special table had been arranged for the poodles, and they were seated on stools and given a course dinner, on a table decorated with flowers. Following the dinner prizes were offered for the dogs that could do the best stunts, but it is not known who were the prize win ners. It was stated that the dog dim ner ended in fight, but this is said not to be SO; that everything went off peaceably.

show. Source of River Loine.

The burning of the Pernod ab- sinthe distillery at Pont Arlier, Paris, had the result of settling the much debated geographical problem as to the source of the River Loing, which issues from cavern 12 kilometers northwest of Pont Arlier. Prof. Four nier, of Besancon, has long main tained-that the Lolng was merely an offshoot of the Doubs. Attempts were made to prove this theory by coloring the waters of the Doubs, but the experiments led to no results. The question has now been solved. During the Pernod fire 3,000,000 litres of absinthe were poured into the Doubs. This has now appeared in the waters of the Loing, proving that the river is fed through subterra- .nean passage from the water of the DoubS.

tavors CylindricaI Boiler.

The British admiralty has issued a highly technical record of the, boiler testing race between the cruiser Hya- cinth, fitted with water-tube boilers, and the cruiser Minerva, having cyl indrical or Scotch boilers. Rear Ad- miral Sir William Domville, chairman of the boiler committee, 'srefralns from expressing any opinions" but hr points out that the Hyacinth's coal consumption was 55 tons and that of the Minerva was 451 tons. The maximum horse power developed during a two-hours' run was s,7Oo fbr the Minerva and 10000 for the Hyacinth, without the latter percep. tibly gaining on the Minerva. The radius of action, so far as coal was concerned, at 7,000-horse power, was, for the Hyacinth, 2,93o miles, and for the Minerva 5000 miles.

SONG WRITERS TO ORGANIZE.

 Protective Benefits.

A number of song writers have do. cided to organize sort of benevc- lent and protective society. the prime mover in the project being Billy Je rome. He said: ''We will organize simply to protect ourselves against interruptions publishers and jobbsrs of music The first object in view will be to organize so that indigens and sick song writers may be taken care of
 ssThe average song writer. does not know the real value of his work and is often ensnared by willy publishers. He is defrauded in many eases of his royalties Song writers, too, are not thrifty, and many die in poverty after enriching music publishers. Take, for instance. the case of Charlie Graham, the composer of Two Little Girls in Blue and other popular songs. Gra- ham made a number of publisher wealthy, but died in want
 Another object of this society will be to protect members as to royal ties. At present publishers sell pro fessional copies of songs to perform CTS at five cents a copy. We do not get a cent of this money, although by right of contract we are entitled Co it."

SIR THOMAS UPTON.
Tells the Story of His Business
 Career to Reporter.
His First Weeks Pay Was One Dollar, and the Earning of It He Re- calls as His Greatest
 Hnppiness.

"Someth;ng about me, outside yachting?" questioned Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton, sinking back into the soft cushion of the forward deck house of the Erin.
 "A great many will fancy that is like giving Hamlet with the principal character left out, will they not? I nm sure they must think of me as a man whose life is bound up in chal- lengers and racers; perhaps they will not be interested in it's other side." He paused doubtfully. The visitor, a correspondent of the Philadelphia North American, hastened to assure the Irish knight that the reverse of the last statement was the truth.
 '.I was born in 1852 he said, the year that saw the birth of the Amer ica's cup, and my birthplace was Glasgow, Scotland. My father and mother had come there some years before from the north of Ireland, and my father had started as Q deal- CT in provisions in small way. I was one of three children, but my brother and sister never reached adult age, dying when quite young.
 up to the age of IA I attended school, and when I was old enough I helped my father at odd hours. Then I wanted to do something for the family, and induced my parents to allow me to leave school and be- come messenger for another shop keeper"
 He paused here as if thinking of something; then: ''I do not know and I cannot conceive of any greater happiness than I experienced at the end of my first weeks work. My hours were long and my work hard for so young chap, but all that was forgotten when my master handed me one dollar as my weeks wage.

RATS RULE AN oFEIcE.
Panic Feared When Clerks in Census Bureau Learn That Rodents
 Swarm the Place.

Officials in the census office at Washington are much worried be- cause of the hordes of hungry rats which have made their appearance in the building in search of food left by employees of the bureau, and every eff fort is being made to keep the clerks, especially the women, froHa learning that countless rodents have infested the office
 The rats have come from sAs ola sewor ov0r which the census saaos Is built. A new consignment of rat traps of the largest sixs was import ed to-day and strenuous warfare is to be waged on the pests.
 The plan proposed fer the exter- imitation of the rodents include the barricadlng Of the entire building by many hundred yards of fine wire net ting. The facts cannot be kept se- cret much longer. It is feared panic might ensue among the women clerks ii the truth became known
 Lively times are expected when the news spreads, as it is sure to do, that there are hundreds of famishea rats running about over the rafters of the cellar, just beneath the feet of the women clerks at work. Three rats made their appearance in the office to-day during office hours, and small sized panic resulted among the women clerks who saw them. For few minutes high chairs were at a premium.
 Usually the rats do not show them selves until after the departure of the clerks for the night. As soon as the o'clock bell rings the rats appear, and from then until morning they hold possession of the building. Great quantities of edibles are left in the waste baskets and on the floor by the clerks, most of whom bring their lunches from home, and eat at their desks.
 The rats are becoming bo1der, and they are now too wise to be taken in traps. They gain access to the building through the cellar by jump ing from the ground to the spaces . between the rafters.

 And sat up late at night, And toileI and planned and schemed away

 How great he is, how grandi'' At last. when he was bent, when care

 "I had other ambitions for my family as I grew older, and they were in great measure realized, but I do not remember that any of them ever gave me half the pleasure or half the pride I felt over my first weeks earnings.

She asserts that the name of Wallace
was assumed and that his true name
was Casley, all of which she expects
to prove to the satisfaction of the
court.
Mrs. Wallace, or wife No. ., makes
an emphatic denial of the greater part
of the plaintiffs allegations. She ad-
mits, however, that she was married
to the alleged Wallace in Germany in
about the year 1873 and that they
came to America, where he has worked
in the mines as stated, but that he
was never known by the name of Cas-
ley. She expects to be able to show
that Casley and Wallace were not the
same person. Two witnesses were
called to the trial. one from Colorado
and one from Michigan. and examined
when the case was continued until
some other business of the court can
| be disposed of. The two witnesses
stated they had known wallace" in
England many years ago, and that they
knew him there as John CasIey, and
that they also knew him when he was
working in the mines of Colorado, and
there he was known as Wallace. and
