Dogs Sacred In Turkey.
From the London Telegraph

There is much excitement in one Of the
villages on the Bosphorus because Of the
sudden disappearance of all the street dogs
The matter Is likely to have serious conse-
quences, owing to the fact that a young
French lady regarded some Of these dogs
as her special pets and guardians from rob-
bers at night. A few doors off lives an
English doctor whose house was overrun
by rats and wild cats, and to rid himself
Of these he gave his cook poison to put in
the kitchen one night. The poison was
highly successful. but, unfortunately, the
remnants of the poisoned food were put
outside the street door by the cook for the
dustman to remove. The street dogs came
along and ate 1t, and then went and lay
down at the door of their lady friend and
died. She was very indignant, and has
told her story to all the Turks in the neigh
borhood who are always Mortified at the
killing of dogs. The doctors cook has been
arrested by the police, who are holding an
inquiry into the matter. 1t is curious to
note that by the Ottoman code a dog is
unclean and not allowed to enter a house,
yet for killing one you are summoned for
taking life"

and that body should at its next ses-
sion forestall any repetition Of this In
equitable and demoralizing method

OF late lovely woman has been haV-
ing it all her own way in the matter of
court decisions affecting domestic af-
fairs. and the tyrant man has sat by
with such complacency as was posi-
bic, watching one right after another
disappear and wondering when the last
one would be taken, leaving him bound
hand and foot. At last, however, one
magistrate has had the courage and
wisdom to make a decision in his ia
vor, sustaining one Of mans precious
and personal rights. An adverse de-
cision would have made his life not
worth the living and would have set
up a female espionage of the most eX-
asperating kind. The case was tried be-
fore excellent Magistrate Crane in New
York City. Ernest Reichert, worthy
shoemaker, had his wife, Selma, az
rested for going through his pockets
and abstracting S57 and some private
papers. The wretched woman did not
deny the charge, evidently believing
that the ransacking of a husbands
pockets is one Of the rights of the new
woman which would be conceded by
any court of justice. In this, however,
she reckoned without her host. Her
lawyer, indeed, made this plea, said he
had never heard of such thing as
woman being arrested for going
through her husbands pockets, and ar
gued that a woman has the right to do
it. The excellent magistrate disagreed
with him absolutely, decided against
such a right, and then discharged tho
woman with a reprimand, after she
had returned the money and papers.
This decision is of Importance as call
ing halt upon the aggressiveness of
woman and conserving one of the few
remaining rights of man. Had the de-
ciSion been otherwise no mans money
would have been safe in his pockets.
He might escape the holdup men on
his way home, but even then he would
not have been safe. If excellent MagiS-
trate Crane had given his assent there
would have been concerted and sur
reptitious nocturnal invasjons of pock
cts, and the men would have been left
dependent upon the sparse generosity
of woman for their spending money.
And this is not the worst. 1t is posi-
BILE private papers, such as harmless
invitations, innocent billet-doux, and
little bills, might reveal themselves and
engender domestic cyclones, for it is
so difficult for women to understand
such things. And then, again, what
justice would there have been in al
lowing wives to search husbands pock-
cts if husbands are not allowed to
search wives pockets? But how could
this be done when wives have no pock-
cts, and are addicted, like flying squir-
rels and magpies, to hiding letters and
valuables in books in the library, be-
hind picture frames, under rugs and
beneath mattresses? Magistrate Crane
is "a second Daniel come to judgment"

Chicago every year has fight to get

wonder how there can be so much pow

men who count their wealth in millions
let gold hush their consciences when
they make personal property returns.

Mr.. SHIELDS ANNUAL CIGAR.

He Receives a Havana Every Year
Has Forgotten Donors Name.
United States Commissioner Shields
the other day received his annual cigar.
He does not know the name of the
donor, nor does he recall the circum-
stances through which he earned the
gratitude OF the man who for nearly a
score of years has annually presented
him with a long, well-made and per-
fectly favored Havana. Shortly after
Commissioner Shields office in the
Federal building was opened the other
morning little, stoop-shouldered man,
scarcely more than five feet in height
and apparently about 60 years old, en-
tered and looked nervously about him.
The Commissioner was not in. The
man inquired of every one in the room
where the Commissioner was, and
then, going to the reporters table, ask
ed for sheet of paper. This was given
to him and he seated himself, drew a
cigar from his pocket, and, after plac-
Ing it on the table, began writing q
note. Just then Commissioner Shields
entered the room. He hastily picked up
the cigar, which was carefully wrap
ped In tissue paper, and hurried around
to Mr.. Shields desk.
"Good-morning, Commissioner" he
said, as he held out his hand. You see
am back again. Won't you accept
this cigar from me? 1 still remember
what you did for me so long ago."
The Commissioner took the proffered
cigar, and the little man, bowling very
low, hurried from the room.
81 don't know who that man is" ex-
planned the Commissioner, "but for
nearly twenty years he has come in
here on this same day and given me a
cigar. He always makes the same lit
tie speech, the same little bow, and
then hurries away, He was arraigned
before me once for some slight viola
ton OF the Federal statutes, and l de-
cided he was not guilty and released
him. 1 don't remember what offense
he was alleged to have committed or
anything about it.
Nor do know where he gets his CT
gars," added the Commissioner, after
applying a lighted match to the per-
fecto he had just received, but they
are always good."-New York CONNER
