Rescue of Two Great Dane Dogs
Who Had Saved Four Human
Lives in a Chicago Fire.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-Two great Dane
dogs saved the lives of four persons,
Thursday night and then were res
cued themselves from a burning
building in Ashland avenue by their
grateful masters.
The dogs apparently became
frightened at the smoke and the
cracking of the flames under them
and began to bark. The noise they
made awakened Henry and Arthur
Hirsch, members Of the Calumet
Metal Co., and j. C. Spokane and Ben
jamin Barringan, who were asleep in
the building. AS they were leaving
the building Arthur Hirsch suggested
to his brother that they ought to save
the dogs, SO the two turned back and,
groping their way through the smoke,
found the two dogs huddled together,
almost overcome. Grasping the dogs
by the collars the two men drew them
to rear door and escaped.

BRITISH INVESTORS WARNED.
The Extravagant Price Paid For the
White Star Line Eucits
Words of Caution.

London, Nov. 1.-Severe comment
on the alleged extravagant price at
which the International Mercantile
Marine Co. bought the White Star line
appears in the fiscal columns of the
London newspapers this morning. 1t
is predicted that it will be impossible
to pay dividends on such o watered
capital, and the public is warned to
avoid subscribing if shares are is
sued. Comparisons are drawn with
the Hooley methods of company pro-
noting.

LIQUOR SELLING IN IOWA.
Express Companies May Not Handle
Liquor I'm Iowa On the
C. o. d. Plan.

-
Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 1.-The Iowa
supreme court has reversed two trial
courts in Iowa on the question of the
G.. O. D. liquor sales by express COM
panies.
In both instances the express COM
panies had liquors which they were
transferring to purchasers in ex-
change for c. O. D. payments. Seiz-
ures were made and the cases tried in
the district court, where the express
companies won. Both cases were APP
pealed, and both are now reversed.
The holding of the court prevents
express companies from handling liq-
uor G. O. D., and makes such goods
contraband and liable to seizure il
found in the possession of the com
panies.

PACIFIC CABLE COMPLETED.
Brisbane, Australia, Is Now an
Accomplished Fact.

Vancouver, B. c., Nov. 1.-The COM
pletion of the cable line between Van
couver and Brisbane was accom-
plished at seven o'clock Thursday
night, although the first message did
not get through until Friday morn
ing. when the announcement was
made that one dream of the imperial
lists was reality. The cable is still
in the hands of the contractors, and
it will not be opened for business for
about three weeks. The section be-
tween Bamfeld Creek and Tanning
island, which is the longest in the
world, has already undergone q
series Of tests and proved entirely
equal to expectations. The actual
time occupied in the trans
mission of message from this
city to Sydney, Australia, will be less
than five minutes in the case of
short commercial message, and this
time will be, OF course, mainly occu-
pied in the manual repetition of the
message at 'Bamfeld Creek, Tanning
island, Norfolk island and Brisbane.
