Another "Laughing Dog"

In a recent issue Of the New York Times
I notice an item from your paper regard

likewise gifted. have a six-year-old col
lie, blue blood, that often laughs, or
rather smiles. first noticed the expression
several years ago upon returning home
after long absence. Miss Polly was over
joyed to see me again, and literally grinned
from ear to ear. That this dog laugh is
an actual expression Of the same feelings
that promote smiles Of pleasure In the
human race I am perfectly assured from
tests and experiment. Polly laughs now
with much greater frequency than former
ly but always. with one exception, from a
sense Of Joy or pleasure. The exception Is
this: find that by laughing heartily my
self I can excite the same expression In
the dog.
The collie has long been noted for its In
telligence. My dog has lived In such close
human relationship that she possesses a
deeper knowledge of words. phrases and
even conversation. than falls to the lot Of
most dogs to know. With hereditary acute
ness to start with, careful training to
develop intelligence and constant associa-
with mankind, is It not reasonable to sup
pose that the faculty Of Laughing may
be developed in the dogf think It is.
Laughing Is only one Of Polly's many ac-

A MINISTER'S RECORD.
Participated In Striking Events Dul
ing Past EOrtY-FiYe Years.

ing Past Forty-Five Years.
DR.. Geo. V. Leech, in charge last Thurs
day of the overflow memorial service at
the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal
Church, has had, it is said, during his
ministry of over forty-five years a some
what remarkable experience in connection
with striking public events. In 1859 he was
in charge of the Methodist Church at
Charlestowp, Va. He was sent for to
pray with Copeland, the mulatto, one Of
the John Brown raiders, the evening of his
capture and Incarceration in the Jail ct
Charlestown. when a mob was demanding
his immediate death. Afterward he be-
came the spiritual adviser Of four Of the
raiders-Cook, Coppoc, Copeland and Green,
and was the last man on their scaffoId to
bid them goodbye. He was present at the
trial and execution of John Brown, and
made an extended report Of his execution
for a Richmond paper; also Of the four
already mentioned.
In the year 1862 he was stationed at Port
Republic, Rockingham county. Va. After
the two battles of Cross Keys and Port Re-
public he did service for several days
among both the Union and confederate
wounded In the extemporized hospitals
near the village. At sacramental service
the next Sunday afternoon in the camp of
the celebrated Stonewall Jackson he ad-
ministered the elements of the Lords sup
per to that general.
AT tHe time or the explosion at the ar
senal In this city toward the close Of the
war MI Leech was the Protestant clergy
man In charge of the funeral services of
the fourteen young women who were in
TERED in one grave in the Congressional
cemetery. He was then in charge of the
Gorsuch Methodist Episcopal Church in the
southern part Of Washington.
In 1865 he was pastor Of Waugh Meth
odist Church of this city, and held a ser
vice IN memory Of the martyred Lincoln.
In 1881 he held similar service in men,
ory OF the lamented Garfield, being then
pastor OF East Washington (now Trinity
Methodist Church. He held similar ser
vice In 1888 In memory of General Grant,
being stationed at the time at the First
Methodist Church in Annapolis. He has
known quite intimately every pastor Of the
shaken hands with all of the Presidents
known personally all Of the bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal Church Of the past
fifty years. beginning with Bishop Waugh.
Many OF them he has known well.
For the past three years DR.. Leech has
been worshiper with the late President
at Metropolitan Chtrch. He is yet in the
work of the ministry, occupying the pull
pit OF his own denomination and those Of
other denominations, though technically
retired from the active pastorate. He has
been in the pastoratE in, and about Wash
tngton since 1868, d. longer service than
, that OF any other clergyman now In the
city. with the exception, possibly, Of DR..
J. G. Butler Of Luther Memorial Church
and Rev. w. H: Chapman of the same con-
ference with himself.

NEW JERSEY POLITICS
REPUBLICANs TO NOMINATE FRANK
LIN MURPHY THIS WEEK.
Democratic Candidate Yet Uncertain
The New Apportionmeat LAVA
stubborn Contest Expected.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


CAPE MAY, n. j.. September p. 1911
The republicans will on Thursday OF this
week name their candidate for governor,
and the democrats will do likewise on
Thursday Of next week From now until
November the campaign throughout the
state Will be stubbornly contested The re-
pubIican leaders are a unit on their choice
for the nomination, and have decided upon
Franklin Murphy the rich varnish manu-
facturer CT Newark, who has for many
years been the chairman of the republican
state committee, and who became a ma
tionaI committeeman after the death OF
Vice President Hobart.
The democrats are all at sea over whom
they Will name to contest with Murphy.
TWO weeks ago II seemed to be foregone
conclusion that Mayor James NJ. Seymour
of Newark would be the nominee. Since
then it was dawned upon former United
States Senator James Smith, 1r., that ne
would make a good governor himself, and
so he has consented to listen to his friends
and become a candidate for governor.
The first intimation OF serious opposition
to Seymour came in the announcement
that Elvin w. Crane, whom the democrats
nominated three years ago, and who was
defeated by Governor voorhees,, had de-
clared himself opposed to Seymour, and in
timating that Seymour did not support the
ticket then, and that many democrats
would not, therefore, support the mayor.
Crane Is said to have been nominated at
the suggestion of Senator Smith.
Democratic Conferences.
Early In the week several conferences
were held In Philadelphia By south Jersey
democratic leaders. and they put forth the
name OF ex-Congressman Thomas NJ. Fer
ren, the only democrat ever elected from
the strong republican first district. He de-

Where the Votes Came From.

An analysis of the vote in favor of the
Burleigh apportionment bill shows that
its support was not only non partisan
but non-Sectional One of the most
striking things about it is the fact
that Mr.. Hopkins was not even able to
hold the members of his own delega-
ton. Eight of them Boutell. Caldwell.
Crowley, FoSs. Jet. Mann. w. f. Will
liams and J. r. Williams voted against
him. Another notable feature of the
vote was the strong support given the
Burleigh bill by Southern representa-
tives, no less than 6S members from
this section of the country lining up in
It's favor. OF this number II were from
Missouri from Texas s from Virgin

"A Victory Fairly Won.
Maine Farrner.)

The hottest fight waged by the Maine
delegation for many years ended on
Tuesday evening. when the BurieiEh
re-appOrtionment bill passed the House
by vote of 165 to 102 The concurrence
Of the Senate is without question. so
the victory is fairly won. and Maine
retains its four representatives. To
the energy and ability of our repre-
sentatives in Congress the saving of
our delegation is due. Senators Hale
and Frye have fought manfully to pre-
vent the loss in number to our delega-
ton. and Representatives Burleigh
and Littlefield have been untiring in
their efforts. The New England states
in general. especially Massachusetts
stood by Maine in it's fight and their
kindness will be remembered by the
Pine Tree State. Names delegation is
safe until 1913. at any rate and the
future Will take care of itself.
