FLEET-FOOTED DOGS
Speed and Endurance of Wolves, Foxes,
Terriers, Settlers and Hounds.
From Our Animal Friends.

Comparatively few people realize Of
what remarkable speed dogs are capable
Some remarkable statistics In regard to
this have been gathered by NJ. Dusolier. a
French scientist. After pointing out the
marvellous endurance shown by little fox
terriers, who follow their masters patiently
for hours while the latter are riding on
bicycles or In carriages, he says that even
greater endurance Is shown by certain
Wild animals that are akin to dogs Thus

met one Of these foxes on the ice at q
point more than seventy miles northwest
Of the Sannikow territory, which Is 4SO
miles from the Asiatic coast.
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel
forty -fve miles on the Ice in Ave hours
and there Is one case on record in which
a team Of Eskimo dogs travelled six and
one-half miles in twenty eight minutes. Ac-
cording to N. Dusolier, the speed Of the
shepherd dogs and those used in hunting
ranges from ten to fifteen yards a second
English settlers and pointers hunt at the
rate of eighteen to nineteen miles an hour
and they can maintain this speed for at
least two hours. Foxhounds are extraordi-
partly swift, as Is proved by the fact that
4 dog Of this breed once beat a thorough
bred horse. covering four miles in six and
pne-haif minutes which was at the rate of
nearly eighteen yards a second. Greyhounds
are the swiftest of all footed creatures,
Fnd their speed may be regarded as equal
TO that OF carrier pigeons English grey
hounds. which are carefully selected. and
which are used for coursing, are able to
cover at full gallOp q space between eight
Zen and twenty-three yards every second.

Maurice Broadnex, a young cOlored man
who resides near this town. Is In jail here
awaiting hearing upon three charges

of property and resisting arrest. He at

Church here last evening, and at the re-
ception which followed 1t Is charged that
he became disorderly and among other
things smashed violin belonging to

The Montgomery County Agricultural So
ciety Is no longer a member of the Mary
land and Virginia racing circuit. Its with
drawal was due to the belief on the part
of the officers Of the society that the ex-
pense incident to membership Is not JUS
titled by the benefits derived. Mr.. Lee Of
futt, president Of the Agricultural Society
states that in the matter Of assigning rae
ing dates to the various members of the
circuit, the tracks in and around Ba1ti-
more are given the preference, and that the
other tracks are compelled to select un-
satisfactory dates or else hold their meet
on dates that conflict with those Of some
other track. This. he says has been the
experience OF the Rockville track each
year it has belonged to the circuit and
because of the heavy expense OF member
ship and fruitless results it was decided to
withdraw.
In speaking Of racing prospects at the So
ciety's annual exhibition In September
President Ofutt said that with the new
half-mile track he could see no reason why
the racing should not be equal to that held
on any track in the state, and states that
he does not anticipate the slightest diff

Who Won7

President Schurman said In his
Chautauqua address: THE Filipinos
wanted religious liberty, personal
freedom. freedom of speech and other
civil rights q native legislative assem-
bly,, and territorial home rule, and
these all have been conceded to
them" BY whom?
MIR. Schurman strives to create the
impression that the bill for the civil
government of the Philippines was an
anti-imperiaistic measure. and that
in its passage the anti-lmperialists
; won. What does he mean?
Does he mean that the men who
call themsSlgeS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Hoars. the Masops, and the Democrats
| generally--who opposed the Philippine
bill. won a victory when they were
outvoted in Congress? Does he mean
that the bill which granted the Filipi-
nos all they asked for, except inde-
! penderce, was framed by the anti
imperialist Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in Congress. and that they COM
PEELED the regular Republicans and
the president to accept It? II not, who
are the antiimperialists who won?
The Philippine bill was from first
to last the work of Republicans. There
were differences of opinion, some Re-
publican leaders favoring the recon-
mendations of Governor Taft and
others dissenting. but the differences
were harmonized and the bill was
passed by Republican votes.
In the Senate the speeches against
the bill were made by Democrats and
the anti-imperialist Republicans
toar, Mason and Wellington. Forty.
seven senators voted for the bill, all
Republicans except one-McLaurin of
South Carolina. Thirty senator's
voted against the bill, all Democrats
except Hoar, Mason and Wellington,
who classed themselves as antrim
perialists.
In the House all the speeches
against the bill were made by Demo
Gratis, and all the speeches In favor Of
. it by Republicans. On the passage Of
the bill 141 representatives, all Re
publicans, voted yes, and ninety-seven
, all Democrats, voted no.

FIND FEW WOMEN sToWAWAYs.
Rare Cases Involving Members OF the
Gentler Sex.

Women stowaways are very rare.
On Sept. s, 1901, one was found on the
Neptune line steamer Ohio, which
sailed that day from Baltimore TOT
Rotterdam. Capt. Samuel Wilson. VINO
commanded the Ohio, intended send
ing her back on the pilot boat with
Pilot William Carroll, but as 1t might
have cost the woman her life IL she
had been forced to take to the boat,
the weather being SO severe at the
time, she was allowed to remain.
A woman disguised as man shipped
as "cattleman" on the johnston
steamer Vedamore several years ago,
when the late Robert Bartlett was In
command. Her sex was discovered
before the ship reached the Brlstoi
channel, and Capt. Bartlett had her
placed In security until Liverpool was
reached. She smoked cigarettes, play
ed cards and had the record before be.
ing discovered of attending to the cat
| tie better than any one OF the men
who had shipped to perform the same
duty.
Recently in New York Louisa Shall
Ter was found among the steerage pas
sengers Of the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
She was not stowaway, but mixed
up with the immigrants before the
ship left Bremen and reached New
York. She said her son was pas
senger on the steamer, and she could
not bear to have him leave without
her, and she had not the money To
pay her passage. She was allowed u
land by the immigrant officials.
