ELEET-EoOTEp DOGS.

Comparatively few people realize of
what remarkable speed dogs are cap
able 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 fol
low their masters patiently for hours
while the latter are riding on bicycles
or iu carriages he says that even
greater endurance is shown by GER
tain wild animals that are akin to
dogs. Thus the wolf can run between
fifty and sixty miles in one night, and
an Arctic fox can do quite as Well if
not better. Nansen met one Of these
foxes on the ice at point more than
seventy miles northwest of the SAM
kow territory. which is $50 miles from
the Asiatic coast.
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can
travel forty-fve miles on the ice in
five hours, and there is one case on
record in which team Of Eskimo
dogs travelled six and ono-half miles
in twenty-eight minutes. According
to NJ. Rusolier, the speed Of the shep-
herd dogs and those used in hunting
ranges from ten to fifteen yards
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate of eighteen to nine
teen miles an hour, and they can main
tain this speed for at least two
hours. FoXhounds are extraordinarily
swift. as is proved by the fact that
dog of this breed once beat "a thor
oughbred horse, covering four miles
in six and one-half minutes, which
was at the rate of nearly eighteen
yards a second. Greyhounds are the
swiftest of all four footed creatures.
and their speed may be regarded as
equal to that of carrier pigeons. Eng
fish greyhounds, which are carefully
selected. and which are used for
coursing. are able to cover at full
gallon a space between eighteen and
twenty three yards every second

and It was certain that if he chose he
could be returned by an overwhelm-
ing majority. There had never been a
more popular man in the county. The
neighbors, rich and poor, had fallen
into the habit of calling him Squire"
There was no one so popular, so be
loved. so courtcd, 50 esteemed, as the
squire" and his lady. In his public
life he was happy but in his home
life he was compelled to own himself
a bitterly disappointed man.
The had been at home for some
time, and he seemed further than
ever from winning the least sign Of
love or affection from his proud, beau
tlful young wife. Every day gave
him greater proof of her complete
indifference, Of the cruel distance that
parted them.
One morning toward the end Of
September, husband and wife were to-
gcthcr in the morningroom. Herman
had a liking for that room-whethcr
it was because of the interview that
had taken place there he could not
tell. On this morning he sat reading
his newspaper, while Lady Iantho
went to attend to her favorite flowers
in the adjoining conservatory. She
had with her a little basket for the
dead leaves, and a pair Of scissors.
Herman watched in silence the bcauti-
rul face bent over the fragrant bios

an exclamation Of sharp pain from

A WIDE DISTINCTION.

Americans are always righteOusly
indignant with English papers for de-
voting so much space to the move
ments of the royal family. They call
it not only a waste of space but they
call it by harder names. OF course,
Americans will see readily that there
is a wide distinction between British
papers chronicling where the prince of
Wales lunched yesterday, and Amer
lean journals chronicling the import
ant fact that Kermit Roosevelt has a

THE GOLDEN KNIGHT.

4 slim yOun- knight in golden mail
Came riding down the field:
OF yellow metal w15 Lis lance.
His cuirass and his shield,
And yellow was the waving plume
That danced upon the breeze,
And yellow, too, the silken curls
That rippled to his knees.
He halted by a silver stream,
And in the moonlight pale
The chilly dew like jewels shown
Upon his cleaning mail.
a wind that told of coming frost
His saffron feather shook
And set the red October leaves
In showers upon the brook.
But all along the eastern sky
A binding glory came.
AS morning robed the hilIswith light
And crowned the woods with flame;
And where I saw the golden knight
In glittering armor pass,
A slender spray of goldenrod
Was tilding with the grass.

When Automobiles are required by

is compelled to have a plate on the
rear inscribed with bGe number, max
ing the identification of the driver
easy, there will be no further menace

NOT THE SAME NAMES.
Different Nomenclature for Birds in
England and America.

England and America.
In reviewing a book about Beasts
and Birds in America" the Spectator
warns English readers against the
confusion that may arise in their
minds by the application of the same
name to different birds in England
and the United States. THE conse-
quence," it remarks, "fs that the
critical English schoolboy who reads
of robins pecking a wicked squirrel
CMeekOO to death will perhaps i'm
patiently toss the book away as I'M
tTUcJT hy-Unless he is G reader Of
Wendell Holmes, and remembers the
allUsiOn to the day when young Amer
leans were misled by the English
books with local color not fitting the
new country. In the books that came
from England, the robin was a little
domestic bird that fed at table instead
of great fidgety, jerRy whooping
thrush"
But the whOoping thrush (Tardus
migratorius) of North America had
red breast like the robin of England,
and so the name was given to him.
and it was a mob of whooping
thrushes, not robin redbreasts, that
did 'MeekO' the mischief maker to
death" And, so, too it may be
added, the ancient misunderstanding
and controversy between English and
American tourists at the Atlantic
liners tables, as to what is a par
fridge, a pheasant, a grouse, etc. will
go on to the end Of time.

GUN LOADED ITSELF.
Remarkable Accidentin Which
a Toy Pistol Gets
Very Gay.

Robert Simn1s, 1s years of age. while
playing with a toy pistol yesterday after
noon about O'Clock. shot Charles NJ.
Angle, 10 years of age. The pistol was
one Of the new so-called toy pistols.
but in reality 1t can be loaded with
small bullet.
The boy, together with several others,
were playing on Marshall street. between
Gilmore and Graham, and all of them had
toy pistols. Simms put his pistol into a
pocket in which were some small bullets.
the kind used in air rifles. One of them
got into the barrel Of the pistol. He took
1t out and fired at the crowd of boys. The
bullet struck Angle Just over the right
eye and glanced around the temple some
distance, imbedding itself in the bone.
The blood flowed freely, and Simu1s be-
came frightened. He took Angle to his
fathers house s141s west Marshall street,
and washed the, wound, which was but a
small hole
Angle then went home, 91s west Clay
street, and was taken to the Office of
DR.. Jacob Keck. by his sister. After ex
amining the wound, Dr.. Keck decided to
perform an opera ton to remove the bull
let this morning.
The Angle boy, who Is the son Of Mr..
Charles NJ. Angle. emphatically says that
the shooting was entirely accidental.
Though suffering pain from the wound.
the boy was bright and cheerful last
night.
Sirnms did not tell his father, Charles
T. Siun1s, about the shooting until after
his father had been informed of the oc-
currence by a Dispatch reporter last
night. He then gave the above account
of the affair. which was borne out by
Angles statement.

OFFICERS USED PISTOLS.
Otherwise There Would Have Been
Trouble on the .aomas.


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. December 2S.
(SpeciaL)-Only the presence OF an armed
guard on the United States transport
Thomas. prevented several soldiers from
taking charge of the vessel during her
voyage from Manila.
The Thomas arrived yesterday with
1897 men, who had been selected for
discharge because of their incorrigibiIity
Guarding them was Company H, of the
Second Infantry.
Trouble began as soon as the Thomas
left Manila and, on December 4th, the
discharged soldiers broke from all re-
straint and attacked the guard. One of
them attacked a sergeant, who. in de-
tending himself, slashed his assailart on
the head. Forty friends Of the wounded
man pursued the sergeant over the ship
shouting, Lynch him." The guard was
hastily called into action and with CLUB
bed muskets finally succeeded in beating
the rioters into submission
Captain John Werkeiser, P Whitworth,
E. King, and Lieutenant Prescott were
compelled to hold the mob in check with
drawn revolvers. The leaders Of the riot
were placed in the brig and heavily !ron-
ed. Subsequently Captain King had an
encounter with another of the malcon-
tents.
During the voyage over 1s7 men. all
told were in irons at different times.
All but the ringleaders in the riot have
been turned loose upon San Francisco.

Local Banks Not Affected.

One of the leading fnanciers, of tbs
city said last night, in speaking Of the
receivership:
considering the vast banking capital
of Richmond and the magnitude of this
enterprise, the Richmond banking institu-
tions hold very few claims against the
Trigg Company. It is astounding how
iittle 1t owes local banks, I am In po.
sition to say that the indebtedness to
Richmond institutions is not oue.third OF
what is due Northern creditors.
''As to what is uue here, the Richmond
banks feel entirely comfortable> Most OF
it is secured by assignment of contracts,
aud will be paid from the funds reserved
by the government, Therefore, our local
institutions are well protected, and cam
not suffer appreciably.
''The fact is," this gentleman contin-
ued, "the Richmond banks have under.
stood all along that the supply and labor
claims would be ahead Of them for gen.
eral loans, and have given the Trigs
Company no extended line of credit. They
nave been very conservative and now have
no cause for uneasiness.''
The gentleman who gave this interview
declined to allow his name to be used,
although he authorized the publication
of what he said. He is at the head Of
one of the most solid and important fnan.
cial institutions of the city, and is init.
mately acquainted with the affairs Of the
Trigg Company and with the general
business situation.
