SOOTHE DYING DOG.
Fair Women Care For a Canine In
jured by Boys.

New York, April 19.-Chased by score
of gamins, a gaunt. mongrel dog turned
into Thirty-f0urth street from Fifth ave
nue. at 80 p. m. yesterday and fell ex-
hausted near one of the entrances to the
WaldOrf-Astoria
Terrified by the splendor of the region
into which their chase had led them and
by the collapse of the poor animal they
had been nagging. the urchins scattered.
The dog lay beside q carriage into which
two richly clad ladies stepped. They saw
the beasts suffering and ordered their
driver to wait. They got out. lifted up the
poor animals head and stroked it. The
dog seemed to appreciate their kindness
and rolled its eyes and wagged its tail.
Other women. coming from going to
the Waldorf stopped, and presently the
dog was the center of a group of ultra
fashionable folk
Milk and meat were brought from the
hotel and offered to the suffering dog. but
he was too weak to eat. In a most eX-
pressive way, however. he showed that he
was grateful for their kindness. It was evil
dent that there was but one thing to do
and Policeman Ryan was summoned. He
shook the beast, saw that it was homeless
and unable TO run, and then drew his pis-
tol.
"Oh, please exclaimed one of the two
ministering ladies, IF you must shoot him,
don't do it here.
The policeman thereupOn seized the dog
by the scruf of the neck and dragged him
to the nearest alley. Presently two shots
were heard. The two dainty women gath
cred up their rustling skirts and stepped
into the carriage

WIS A HOMELESS Nan
Yet Charles Cowan Built a Village
and Grew Rich.

WATERFOWL. n. z. April 19.-Charles
Cowan, who added to this city the resi-
dence section known as WATERFOWL
Heights, has had his victory over the
Thomson Houston International Elec-
trio company affirmed by the appellate
division, which handed GOWN a decision
at Rochester against the great electric
corporation for s7.82s99 and costs.
Cowan, who came to this city several
years ago after living many years in
South Africa, had ABOUT hin many of
the traits of character of his compatriot,
Cecil Rhodes. He was a born promoter
and possessed great energy and bound.
less ambition.
He came to WATERFOWL without d
cent. yet inside of two years he had
built up a small village on the heights
north of the city, known as "CoWan's
Tract, finding time meanwhile to press
10 Vrlal a SUIT against the thomson
Houston company for about $3.50 co., re-
covering after many VexatiouS delays,
the verdict stated.
While a resident of South Africa
CoWan, then known as Cohen. claimed
to have exploited the product of the
Houston International Elec-
trio company. After advertising its
goods and working for contracts TO.
about four years, he alleged, and Just
as he was about to secure several con-
tracts the company severed its rela-
tons with him. According to his agree
ment, ne alleged. he was to receive a
commission on the goods he sold. and
he brought suit to recover the com is
sion on a large amount Of goods sold
by the company in South Africa after
the termination Of his services. which
he asserted. We're sold on his exDloita-
ton.
Cowan succeeded in bringing the suit
to trial here before Justice NJ. l.
Wright. who. after listening to the case
nearly a week. took il from the hands
Of the jury and ordered it over the term.
/ Cowan next moved the case before JUS
/ tice Hiscock who submitted specific
] questions to the jury which found that

| defendant Then the case was referre 1
! to w. S. Andrews. now Justice of the

| he found that the plaintiff should re-
cover s., S29 80 for moneys advanced for
expenses while in South Africa From
this verdict the defendant appealed and
the Judgment IS now affirmed.
Cohen. who had meanwhile changed

mines in which he had become interest

NEW INAUGURATION DAY.

From the New York Tribune
The national committee. which has
been in a sense directing the movement
for change of the date Ofthe Inaugural
ton of presidents from March to the
latter part of April. is apparently hope
full of practical results from its labors.
There would seem to be no doubt that
the scheme, long advocated in a some
what listless manner, now commands a
considerable degree of public interest.
The governors of most of the states have
consented to serve on the committee.
and their approval of the projected
change may perhaps fairly be assumed
to indicate the existence of favorable
sentiment throughout the county Here
tofore the proposal has failed Of adOp-
tiOE. not because it has aroused for
midable opposition, but because it has
not commanded that resolute and con-
tinuous support on the part of powerful
public men which is essential to any re-
modelling of our ma tl0nal institutions
and without which a scheme can hardly
obtain a hearing It is universally con

proof that the first Harrison died in
consequence of his exposure to the ele-

is certain that many presidents have
risked their lives for the sake of follow

A FOOLISH OLD IDEA.

It was once thought that a
medicine was all the more bene-
fetal for having a nasty taste and
smell. We now know that such
an idea is perfect nonsense.
There is no more reason why
medicine should offend the SEN
ses than why food should do so.
Therefore, one of the greatest
chemical victories of the past
few years is what we may call
the redemption of cod liver oil.
Everybody knows what a vile
taste and smell this drug has
in its natural state. No wonder
most people declare they would
rather suffer from disease than
take cod liver oil, and the emul-
sions are quite as foul and abom-
Unable as the plain oil, no matter
what may be alleged TO the con-
trary. Now it is one Of natures
laws that medicine which dis
gusts the nose and the palate,
and also sickens the stomach, can
have no good effect as a medi-
cine, because the system cries
out to be delivered from it. In
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the desired miracle is wrought,
and we have the valuable part of
the oil, without the other. This
effective modern remedy is pala-
table as honey and contains the
nutritiye and curative properties
of Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by us from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites and the Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
The palate accepts it as it does
sugar, confectionery or cream.
Taken before meals it goes to the
very secret stronghold CT diges-
tive disorders: prevents and cures
Nervous Dyspepsia, Scrofula,
Throat and Lung Troubles and
all diseases due to impurity of
the blood. DR.. G. G. Shannon, of
Canada, says: 81 shall continue
