FAMOUS DOGS ARE EXTINCT

Last Of Newfoundland Disappearing
From the Face Of the Earth.
Dog lovers are discovering with re-
greet that one of the finest canine
species has become almost extinct.
The Newfoundland Is practically no
more in this country and in England.
The DISTINGUISHING breed is native
in the Island of Newfoundland, and
old records say early settlers found
the Indians in possession of magnifi-
cent specimens. 1t is generally sup
posed, however, that the Newfound-
land was the result of cross of some
English strain and the native dogs. ,
At any rate, this particular animal
is celebrated in history as the en-
bodiment of courage and intelligence
and kindness-the highest type Of
canine excellence. Landseer, in his
famous painting, "The Child's Best
Friend" rendered the species immort'
al.
In spite of this, 1t is fact that the
valuable dog, in its original habitat.
Is quite extinct. And he was most
useful there, too, in saving drowning
persons along the stormswept coast.
where shipwrecks are frequent. New
ertheless. it is charged that it was
through starvation and neglect that
these famous dogs died out in New
foundland itself.
The British government has lately
been obliged to purchase for the New
foundland life-saving station new
breed of dogs to- take their places.
These are the Leonbergs, cross be-
tween Newfoundlands. st. Brnards
and and the Pyrenees wolf dog. They
are the most powerfully built dogs
in the world and stand more than four
feet high. Those sent to Newfound-
land the British government paid from
$3.50 to $500 apiece for. and some
specimens have sold for as high as
$500.

me ever since struck this part Of the

Il have reached this conclusion by

twenty-eight minutes for the jury in
the case of Schriver Bros. VS.. the
Western Union Telegraph Co. to de-
eide that the telegraph company is re.
sponsible for bogus messages sent over
their lines. Plaintiffs sued for $4,000
damages. The award of the jury was
for $S,s73. deduction being made for
four cattle of the bunch which were
shipped by plaintiffs to swindler
named Barnes on receipt of false
telegram. The plaintiffs were also
awarded interest at 6 per cent from
the time when the message was sent,
March 1902. =
The case was hard fought and it's
abrupt determination excited much
surprise. The jury held that the de.
fendant company did not exercise due
care in assuring themselves of the au.

certify to the validity of checks. was
