Westerners Pay Large Sums for East
 ern Dogs.


 Chicago, March 15.-The annual bench show of the Chicago Kennel club practically closed with parade of prize winning dogs and their own CTS. The show has been one of the most successful ever held in Chicago about LOGO dogs having been on exhl- bltion. Many of the exhibitors were women of the fashionable world.
 All records for sales have been bro Ken at this years show, more than SoO,OO0 having changed hands. Many of the finest dogs from the east have been purchased by Chicagoans. It is stated that because the interstate field trial association changed it's name to the American Championship Field Trial association and made the qualifications for dogs competing in the annual championship event such that only winners of state trials can take part. There is likelihood of dis ruption of the organization Several state organizations, it is said, threaten to withdraw. The association is com posed of eleven organizations, Mis- souri, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Ken lucky. South Dakota, International of Canada. Western of Kansas City, Hi nois, Iowa and Alabama.

ter Meetings.
 The last of the series of mems mass meetings under the auspices of the Young Mems Christian association will be held at o'clock Sunday af- ternoon in the Jacques opera house. At this meeting the most interesting address will be delivered by c. E. Dickerson of the Mount Hermon school, Massachusetts. The address will be magnificently illustrated with fine stereopticon views and will be about the late Dwight l.. Moody and his work for young men. MT Dicker- son is vice-principal of the Mount Her. mon school, graduate of Lehigh uni versity and has taught at Mount Her. mon for a dozen years. He was very close to MT Moody during his lifetime with regard to anything relating to Mount Hermon, and is q most ami mated and interesting speaker. He would give an address that should in- spire every young man who hears 1t, by holding up before him the principles for developing noble manhood in which Mir Moody believed. The excellent work and standing of the Mount Her. mon school are well known to some Waterbury people. One or two Wa terbury boys have already been at this school and several more are likely to go this season. There will be special music at this service of solo singing and the full Y NJ c. A. orchestra. A very large attendance of men is ex- pected.

TESTIMONIAL CONCERT.
Enjoyed by Audience at Leavenworth
 Hall Last Night.


 An audience of about one hundred persons gathered i'll Leayenworth hall last evening, the occasion being a testimonial concert to Charles Wyn- berger. The principal soloist was Mir Wynberger and it may be said of him outright that he is an artist. His voice is high baritone of much pow CT and under such control that sing ing is no effort for him, no matter how difficult the selection. His op- cratic training shows in his singing by his gestures and he throws into his songs the fire and ardor of the French school. Although singing i'll English must be more or less difficult for him, yet it does not detract from the lis- teners' pleasure. The little ballads which he rendered were sung with fine expression. It has been q long time since those present last evening heard a finer baritone than Mir Wyn- berger and they anticipate his next appearance in public with pleasure. Miss Munn's voice is q high soprano and of sweet quality Her work was very commendable. It is to be re- gretted, however, that her selections were not more in the ballad style, for her voice is more suited at present for such work MT Vaughn and Mir Spencer added to the pleasure of their friends and in the trio from Faust" the singers showed the ambition of their instructor. The Tallarico broth CTS work is certainly surprising in boys so young and they deserve much credit for their playing last night. Mrs E. w. Kimball accompanied the soloists beautifully.

CITY NEWS
THE TICKER'S MUSIC
New Baby Grand at the Chamber
Of Commerce From Which It
Originated.
It Reproduces Tones, but They Are
+ the Tones of the Grain
Market. IL

The big transmitter which is to operate
the numerous grain t1ckerS sending out
the Minneapolis quotations in accordance
with the new arrangement between the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce and
the Western Union Telegraph company,
was put into operation this morning. A
corps of electricians worked over Sunday
putting in the new machine. The install
lation Of this transmitter, which will i'm
prove the service, in a marked degree, was
delayed to await the completion of the
new pulpit The pulpit is a big, oblong,
box-like arrangement which stands on end
at one side of the pit. In the top OF this
sits the guardian of the pit, the caller,
who keeps an eagle eye on the traders
and sings out every quotation to the
markers the blackboard at the end of
the room, using megaphone when the
trading Is lively and noise and confusion
| of the pit is great.
1t is in this box, which is open on the
| side farthest from the pit that the West
ern Union company has installed what
| to the Impractical eye would appear to
| be the most complicated piece Of mechan-
ism imaginable. The sides of the in
terror of the box are covered with brass
| instruments and built upon a shelf is a
| small dynamo, with a t1ywheel revolving
| rapidly, looking like a miniature of the
dynamos seen in the powerhouses Of the
street railway company. The whole is
threaded with an intricate arrangement Of
wires. At the front is a keyboard, like
that Of a piano, having white and black
| keys, about the size of those on "baby
| grand" and about as wide as two octaves
| on an ordinary keyboard. But on the
| transmitter each octave has eight white
| keys and seven black ones. Every key
carries two characters, a letter and a
number. The black keys print the figures
that appear on the ticker tape and the
white keys the initials of the stocks list
| ed. A switch key on the left changes to
| lower case figures and one on the right
changes back to upper case letters. A
| ticker close beside the operator shows
| whether any mistakes have been made so
that they may be instantly corrected
In actual operation it is all very simple.
| A group of traders in the pit are in a
! jangle over trade, the lookout in the
pulpit puts a few marks on a slip of
paper and drops it down through a slot
| and onto the music rack in front Of the
operator, who lets his fingers stray care
lessly into the opening measures of
Memberships Spring Song" and every
! ticker on the circuit instantly prints on the
tape: May, "A bid, u to 74h asked, "A bid
sold at 74c." Except that there are no
/ pedals and no one to turn the music, it is
| not unlike piano recital of the continu-
Gus performance sort.
| The telegraph company will put in an
expert operator, who will have to be very
alert to, keep things moving when there
Is an excited market. For the present
w. II. kemper, superintendent Of the
ticker service for Minneapolis and St.
Paul, is giving it personal attention.

HELP MORE PLENTIFUL
Harvest Is Well Over and Domestfcs Come
In from the

Accessions from the country appear to
have relieved the domestic help shortage
which was so marked here a few months
ago. The demand at intelligence offices
has abated, the taking away Of girls
by one housekeeper from another is caus-
ing fewer heated expressions of opinion,
and wages are showing less tendency to
advance.
A feature of the situation is the fact
that at the intelligence office operated by
the Union City Mission, Washington and
Second avenues S, there are ten Orr a
dozen more girls booked than there are
applications for help. These girls are
nearly all from the country and range in
age from Is to rs years. Some are @expe-
rienced in domestic work and all are re-
garded as promising, but where two
months ago servantless housekeepers
would have battled to the death for them
the girls are now patiently waiting fol
some employer to come. ~, .
