TAMMANY BRAVES!

More than 100, 900, people lined the
route of the Tammany parade in New
York last night and filled the streets
about the Fourteenth street wigwam,
where the democratic nominations for
governor and other State and county
officials were ratified. EA-President
Grover Cleveland's letter to the New
York democracy was read to the braves
and received with immense enthusiasm.
David B. Hill, for the first time in 10
years, took part in a Tammany meeting
and delivered an address. In his speech
referring to the tariff on coal, Mr.. Hill
charged Senator Plat with lodging the
vote in Congress in question of impos-
ing tariff on anthracite coal. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, he said had declined to
express an opinion as to whether the
existing tariff should be removed. Mr..
Hill spoke at considerable length on the
questions of trusts and revision of the
tariff and bitterly arraigned republican
extravaganza in State affairs. Charles
n. Bulger, who two years ago denounced
Tammany in the State convention, also
made speech and was given an ovation.
Bird S. Coler spoke at the Manhattan
Club, where he dined with ex-senator
Hill, and reviewed the parade of 20, 600
Tammany braves.
Following is the letterof former Presi
dent Grover Cleveland to the democracy
of New York, read at the ratification
meeting:
Westland, Princeton n. j.,
October 20, 1902.
Charles +. Murphy, Esq:
My Dear Sir-l regret that my engagement
will not permit an acceptance of your invi-
tatio1 10 attend the democratic meeting TO be
held in Tammany Hall on the 22d instant
II is most gratifying 10 learn from the
terms of your note that the democracy Of
New York fully appreciate how nightly the
underlying principles Of our party are in
yolyed in the pending canvass. and also to
know of the determination that they shall
not be forgotten in its campaign efforts. The
great democratic organization of the city Of
New York is so important factor in con-
trolling the result Of party endeayors in the
broader field that no campaign In which il
engages can be considered sufficiently local
to free il from the responsibility Of its in
huence upon party prospects everywhere and
at all times
The responsibility has been well met in the
present campaign by tile selection of trust
worthy candidates by sensible efforts in Sc
cure democrats; by intelligent party work
and action. sincerely hope that as n results
the democracy of the city Of New York will
again demonstrate its invincihilily at home:
that democratic good government and
administration will be restored to
the people Of the State, and that democratic
hope and confidence will be revived end
stimulated far beyond the limits of city or
State.
Hoping that your meeting will be ahun.
iantly successful and most useful in the
cause am yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

LON TIGER, THE NEWEST MONS TER

Although the possibility of breeding
lion and tiger hybrids in captivity has
long been known, the results OF the
experiments have not been very sue
cessful,- the animals rarely reaching to
their full size and development. More
recently, says MIR. W B. Tegetmeier in

than five years old. 1t is male. Its
height across the withers as it stands
erect is 45 inches, English measurement.
It's length from the nose to the tip Of
the tail is 10 feet ? inches. a length
which exceeds that of a full-grown lion.

horses were irritable and restless, bit

when the watering troughs ran dry by
reason of the unparalleled demand upon

tarily to the big gates opening from the
corral into the yard, begging to be let In.
The hens, with wide open bills and ruff

Mr.. Hagenbeck has not yet succeeded IN
rearing any offspring from 1t. This ami
NAL is described by him as larger In
size than any lion or tiger. He speaks
Of it as a monster, and says that the
two young ones which are now only thir-
teen months old, are larger than any
pure-bred lion or tiger of the same age,
and he thinks II they progress satisfac-
torily they will grow to greater size
than the large male.
The two younger ones, which were Il
year old on the 2Sth OF last April. are
both males and show the tiger markings
rather more distinctly than the older
animals. In addition to these photo
graphs Mr.. Hagenbeck has sent me an

SKRDONYX, NuGuSTS BIRTHSTONE

Smart for some him" whose birth
day is to be remembered this month is
fob formed Of three rows of spiral gold
links making quite a broad band. This
takes the place OF the customary black
ribbon. The pendant is gold ball on
circled with an ornamental band. The
bottom of the ball Is sardonyx.
Charms to be worn either on the
watch chain or as fob pendants are set
with square. oblong. elliptical or cir
cular sardonyx.
Women have borrowed the fashion of
as smart styles are shown for them as
for fob-wearing nasculinity.
Egyptian designs are a fad in the
jewelry of the moment, and the scarab
venerated during its life and often en-
balmed after death by the ancient
dwellers along the Nile is favorite sub
ject. Scarabs are often represented by
heiroglyphics uEd on Egyptian monu-
ments models of them in the most
precious materials were worn as charms
and buried with mummiss
A fob which will help the August
born girl to avert the calamity Of "liv-
! ing unloved and alone" is composed Of
a series OF Ave scarabs cut from as many
different stones. one above the other and
united by graceful ornamental links OF
gold. The scarabs are cut from sar-
donyx, bloodstone. matrix, Jade. mala-
chite, and labrodorite. The combination
OF these gems of entirely different but
artistically harmonized hues is very
odd and striking. Just n single scarab
carved from sardonyx is a smart pendant
for fob. On the back OF the beetle are
carved queer hieroglyphics which, pre-
sumably. adj to the powers of the
sardonyx as n tal'gnanic gem. Some
times two sc.rnbs are pendent from the
black silk rioboE-a scarab OF sardonyx
above a scarab OF bloodstonc.

A FTER which warning declaration.
N where is the girl who celebrates

month that would dare defy fate
by neglecting TO wear her superstitious-
Unassigned birthstone somewhere or
other about her person?
To assist in the selection of sar-
donyx-set trinket, the fashionable Jew
eIers are ready with suggestions. The
maiden OF the August birthday has not
so costly gem as the ruby, which be-
longs TO Miss July. nor so popular a
stone as the sapphire. which Miss Sep
tember claims for her own, but ways are
not wanting b. which she can hypno-
tie fate through the medium of the po-
tential sardonyx.
One of the smartest forms in which
the gem is mounted is in a fob. Sar-

Origin of the Home.

Miss Anna p. Thomas, of 310S P Street
northwest. was the originator of the dog
home Miss Thomas had been interested
for a long time in getting up something
that would take the place OF the dog
pound; so she went to several prominent
ladies and told them her scheme to es-
tablish dog farm. Each and every one
to whom she went heartily Endorsed the
plan. The work OF getting members was
then begun, and before the formal open
ing Of the canine home fifty members
we're enrolled on Miss Thomas book.
This completed. the next question was
TO find q place for the home. Some one
suggested to the committee that Mr..
Frank J. Buckley. an agent for the
Humane Society. who has wide expert
ence in caring for pets and is the
superintendent of the Cat Home. might
be able TO render the promoters material
help. Mr.. Buckley has a large and well
equipped place at 2c35 Thirty-second
Street northwest. part of which was
at once converted into the Dog Farm.
An Ideal Selection.
The selection was an ideal one for the
establishment and the CANNES appear
to be perfectly happy and contented
with their lot. Mr.. Buckley was in charge
OF the home. and with the assistance
OF his wife, due protection and care was
afforded the dogs OF Washington,
whether stray or high bred.
The food given to the dogs is good,
fresh beef, cooked with cornmeal.

A Lady to the Rescue.

Were it not for the generous offer of
a lady living in the suburbs, who has
placed her farm as temporary refuge
to the society in their search for home
for the thirty or more animals under
their protection, including boarding
dogs, whose owners are out of town for
the season, the condition Of affairs
would today be hopeless, since to turn
the animals into the District pound
would be to defeat the very aim and
purpose of the organization, which is
essentially aimed at the protection of
life.
The Washington times., 1902-08-03

w 7 ASHINGTON society people,
w who had been so enthusiastic
over the dog farm, will be
surprised on their return TO
the city to learn of the troubles Of the
Institution while they were away. When
the members of the committee left
Washington they felt satisfied that the
dog farm was permanently established,
as they have worked hard to make it q
fixture.
Just when everything at the dog home
was going along smoothly troubles
arose, the neighbors filed complaint
against the farm as a nuisance, and Mr..
Buckley, the manager, was officially or
dered 10 remove the dogs to another To-
cation.
The Washington times., 1902-08-03

The association had spent $3.50 in
building kennels and putting up wire
fences. There were twelve large, WELL
built kennels, and three distinct yards
for the dogs TO play in. The six board
ing dogs there are owned by prominent
people of Washington.
Some of the Patrons.
The Rev. DR.. Teunis S. Hamlin has a
fox terrier there; Lieutenant Mccartney
small fox terrier; Mrs. R. G. NJ. Brown
water spaniel; Mr.. John H. Fox a
small fox terrier, and Mr.. Johnson, of
43s II Street northwest, a pointer.
A good. comfortable home has been
found for one dog since the home start
ed; this was a beagle hound. taken by
Police officer Hess, of Georgetown. The
dogs that are taken away from the home
are only given or sold TO those persons
who will guarantee to be responsible for
their welfare; they must also buy tag.
Veterinarian Employed.
While the dogs are generally very
healthy, no chances are taken. and the
farm is visited twice a week by vet
erinary surgeon. When the association
was started, DR.. R. r. Ashworth for
merly with the Health Board here. and
for a good many years resident veter-
mary surgeon Of the Rhode Island Ken
mel Club offered his services gratis, and
gives to the dogs at the home his per-
sonal attention.
Since the home was founded only one
dog has had to be killed. and this was
done only in mercy, as the poor thing
had its back broken. and was in a pitia-
BILE condition when it was taken to the
farm. Two members of the committee
happened TO be visiting the home at the
time. and at once sent for DR.. Ash
worth. who pronounced the little ami
NAL incurable.
This society, besides being a great
blessing TO the CANNES, is OF great bene-
fit to the community. as poor, hungry.
and thirsty dogs sometimes run at large
in the streets. and for want OF water
and food frequently go mad.

self went out Under the archway of the

ready to leave for England she paid
Miss Thomas farewell visit. and asked
If tie little dog might be sent to the
home. Mr.. Buckley was at once noti-
fed and called at the embassy and took
the homeless little canine to the farm.
The Hon. Maud Pauncefote. who was
or the committee. was very deeply in
terested in the work. and just before
leaving Washington made a donation to
the institution, and also announced her
intention of becoming a sustaining
member.

JUVENILE HALL ROBBER,
detective Stark Has Boy Sneak
Thief of Ability.

A clever hall thief, Eugene Berry. a
negro boy 10 years of age, will be
arraiened in Police Court this morn
ing on at least two charges. City De-
tective Julius Stark will appear against
the youthful offender.
Berry has confessed to the two
charges placed at his door by the de-
tective and some of the property that
he stole has been recovered. Stark is
confident that the boy has done a great
deal of stealing, and expects to land
him on several other charges. He adj
mitted to the detective that he made
hauls from the residences of County
Commissioner A. Vetsburg and Mr..
Joseph Ferst.
The boy was frightened from the
home of Capt. w. w. Starr, on Jones
street, and was arrested a few min
utes later by Detective Stark. The
juvenile thief had been seen by Mrs
FerSt when her home on CASTOR street
was visited, and she furnished Detec-
tive Stark with an accurate descrip-
ton of the culprit. When the detec-
tive saw the boy on Jones street he
recognized him as the one described by
Mrs. Ferst. Berry attempted to make
his escape when he saw the detective
approaching, but was run down. So far
as is known he has never been arrested
before
