In his argument before the Municipal
Affairs Committee OF the House OF
Representatives, Monday evening,
Judge Pugh, speaking In favor of the
Municipal Code bill declared that the
Supreme Court had sounded the death
knell of special legislation in Ohio.
He said that Justice Shauk, who drew
the decision In the Cleveland park
board case, would oppose hereafter
any special acts and that with the as
sistance of two OF the other Justices
and of the new Justice, Price, could
declare all such acts unconstitutional.
He also made the statement that the
city governments Of Cleveland and
Cincinnati could be ousted for hay
Ing been created by special legislation,
IT is not at all likely that the politl
clans who are deriving benefits from
the governments indicated, win resign
for fear OF being ousted.

KRUGER'S NEW HOME.

Description of the Ex-BOer Presi-
dents Residence at Utrecht.
The new dwelling which Mr.. Kruger
occupies at Utrecht, Holland, is called
"Oranjelust," meaning Orange joy" or
tfaVor," which is somewhat appropri-
ate, seeing the favor with which he
was treated by the one remaining mem
ber of the house of Orange here, the
queen of the Netherlands.
Oranjelust is separated from the
public pathway by an iron railing and
stands in small garden. The garden
is fanked with bushes, and the center
space is occupied with a rockery.
Around the latter tulips have been
planted to represent the Transvaal flag,
and when they bloom the "Vierkleur'
will be just in front Of Dom PauPs
window.
Oom's part of the house is the right
hand lower portion, consisting Of re-
ception room, bedroom and dining
room. The first Of these is elaborated
fitted up in the style of Louis XIV, the
walnut furniture being unholstered
with green material worked with lilies
in white. The curtains are of green
stuff also.
Mr.. Kruger's bedroom suit is Of oak,
upholstered in green, and there are
green curtains to the windows. But
the dining room is the wonder of, those
who are fortunate enough to get peep
into it. Oak upholstered with red leath-
er and red plush curtains, the chamber
has a very warm appearance. The car
pet comes from Smyrna. 1t is most
elaborate piece of work. 1t will be re-
membered that dark green is the color
Of Mr.. KrEger's livery.
The remaining portion of the house
is for the ex-president's followers
while two doors farther up the road the
family of the Eloffs have taken uI
their abode. Some time ago DR.. Leyds
took house in the town, SO that now
the entire Boer court is close together
and Mr.. Kruger only needs to blow q
whistle If he wishes to hold cabinet

DECLINE OF POETRY.

One hundred and fifty years
ago the novel was unknown. It
now slops over ali literature. It
is riotous, filling in the minds of
macy the entire field. History,
science, philosophy, and, alas,
poetry go down before it. This
is not fanciful statement. It's a
fact, and nine readers out of ten
are perties to the transaction.
Does not this hunger for fio-
ton account for the sad fact that
the writing of poetry is no longer
remunerative?Volumes of poetry
are not salable in considerable
numbers. Publishers shun them
unless the writer is willing and
able to pay the freight. Even
the occasional poem no longer
commands from the press price
it is so numerous, and no one
reads magazine poetry.
True, we have no Burns on tap
at present, as they who were liy>
ing one hundred years ago had,
but if we had a Burns or a Sir
Walter Scott today be would not
command the attention or the
money that was freely offered
one hundred years ago for poet.
ic products. Fiction is holding the
popular fort. It wins the dollars,
and Its finer companion is out in
the cold.
Is this to continue? Are we to
have no more great poets? Is the
century TO give US no Emerson,
no Bryant, no Poe, no Lowell,
no Longfellow, no Whitman?
Here are six Of the nineteenth
century that wrote at least a
good verse. At times they rose
to heights far above the common
place. We have many today who
are singers of merit, as "The Re
cessicnal'' and "Tne Man With a
Hoe" testify, but the poet of to-
day cannot sing to empty bench
IS. The market for poetry is lack
i0g. And herein is the trouble. If
the century gives US no poets
equal to the six we have mention
ed, it will be because song has
gone down in the market place,
and fiction is filing the field; the
poets are simply starved out. The
law Of supply demands applies, in
other words, TO poetry as we'll as
to pork, although the former is
hey ond doubt the truest and best
mark Of an ages progress and
culture.

CAN COPE WITH WOLVES,
"A New Breed of Staghounds Conn
bines Speed With Ferocity.

bines Speed With Ferocity.
William A. Richards, assistant land
commissioner, is a hunter of no mean
prowess, and in his home near the Big
Horn mountains, Wyoming, has killed
more than one grizzly and mountain
lion. Several days ago Mr.. Richards
was talking over sporting matters with
a Washington Post reporter, when the
conversation turned upon dogs and the
value of the several breeds for hunting
purposes, when he said:
"In my section we have at last Sc
cured breed of dogs that is highly
satisfactory. AS wolf dogs they cannot
be excelled, and the only time that to
my recollection I ever saw these dogs
turn tail was on an occasion when
they faced four grizzlies. Even then
they showed fight, retreating only
when it was absolutely necessary. Sev.
eral years ago we began experiment.
ing with view to securing a breed of
dogs sufficiently heavy and ferocious
to attack and kill wolves and feet
enough to run them down. After many
trials we found that a cross between
the old Scotch staghound and the COM
mon greyhound proved far superior to
any of the experiments we had pre-
viously tried.
'@These dogs combine the fleetness of
the greyhound with the strength and
ferocity of the Scotch staghound and
as result are being extensively bred
all through the west. A coyote stands
no show whatever with these dogs, for
as soon as the pack overtakes him he
does not strike the ground until he is
literally torn limb from limb. The gray
wolf is a better and harder fighter, but
even in a fair fight one of these cross
bred wolf hounds is an even match for
the gray wolf. In fact there are some
Of my dogs that are almost as wild and
fierce as the wolves themselves.
"These animals do not hesitate to
tackle the black bear and generally
make life a burden for him, while in
hunting the grizzly bear they are quite
useful in holding the game at bay un-
til the hunter arrives to give sWahb'
his coup de grace.''
