THESE HORSES NEGLECTED.
Almost Job for Society for Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals.

The following communication has
been received by The Tribune:
"In perusing the columns of your
paper I fail to find any mention what
ever of what seems to me to be the
greatest of cruelty. In the interest of
the Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals l beg of you to write
an article in it's behalf. You may be
able to reach the hearts of the people
through the columns of your paper.
There is altogether too much OF this
i'll treatment of animals going on.
1--WE have not as yet been able to
punish the offender but with your as
sistance. the people may become so in
censed as to rise against him en- masse
This affair is beyond human endurance
and no punishment will be too severe
for the perpetrator of this deed
Think of it. Since Thursday after
noon, twenty-five fine horses have been
allowed to stand on the banks of the
Lackawanna, between Sixth and Salem
avenues, without shelter and without
blankets to say nothing OF the failure
to feed them. 1t Is shameful in civ
ilized community
Trusting you will aid us in this
matter, | am yours,
"A Friend of Humanity"
To those interested in the case, it
might be mentioned that the horses
referred to are still on the river bank,
but it is expected that the contractor
who owns them will put them in SER
vice within few days.

Lewis Horse Causes Stir.

The following item from the Forest
City News tells of what a figure one of
Levi Patterson's trotters is cutting up
the country:
III. p. Johns is now the owner of
Big Bones the sorrel horse that was
at one time numbered among Levi
Patterson's string and recently was
sold with Il mate to Il Nineveh man by
j. j. Simpson. The other horse was
killed by an engine a couple of months
ago. Mr.. Johns acquisition has stirred
up little rivalry among the owners of
horses that have a little speed and
it is possible that they will arrange for
a meet on the ice of one of the vicinity
ponds soon"

Visiting Copper Mine Owner.

j. Il. Donahoe, Il copper mine owner
from Salt Lake city, was at the Har-
rison house over yesterday. He is on
his way to Susquehanna to make
short visit among relatives in that
town.
In speaking of the copper mining in
dustry, Mr.. Donahoe said that the sit
uation was not cheering for the mine
owners Since the recent break in
Amalgamated Copper, which caused
quite furore in the stock market,
things have been somewhat demoral-
lied in the copper district. Very little
mining is being done, to the extent
that between six and seven thousand
miners are out of employment. Mr..
Donahoe is on his way to Pittsburg on
business connected with the mines In
which he is interested.

SORE NECK

Take SCOTS Emulsion for
scrofula. Children often have
sores on the neck that won't
heal up, The sores may come
and go. Parents may not
know what's the matter nor
what to do, Scrofula is the
trouble and SCOTS Emulsion
is the medicine.
SCOTS Emulsion heals the
sores, But that is not all,
Scrofula leads to consumption.
This is the real danger.
SCOTS Emulsion is the
"ounee of prevention" that
keeps off consumption.

in st. Rose Church Sunday.
The evils that follow in the wake of
the public dance hall We're discussed
by Very Rev. II. f. Coffey. at the s
o'clock mass in st. Rose church yes
terday
Father Coffey observed that there
was danger in the public dance hall,
where young people of both sexes come
together and mingle without discretion.
Leaving the dance hall close to the
midnight hour these young people are
menaced by even greater dangers. The
evils, Father Coffey said, were pain
fully known to him as a priest and
he has frequently been brought face
to face With unhappiness of young peo-
pie that had it's source in the dance
hall. Father Coffey urged the young
people to be prudent and discreet in
their pleasures, particularly so in their
patronizing the dance with its many
dangers.

"the worst scare ever had in my life

1 was running a through passenger

The train was an express and had to

than a washout or a collision would be
accepted as satisfactory excuse for
being behind time. On this particular
night we pulled out with an extra car

Family Happenings Commemorate

Some Word Com limitations.
To dub the summer cottage, the
modest home and the stately mansion
with suitable names has now become
the custom in America quite as it is
in Europe. Indeed, there is a charm
in having attached to ones dwelling a
title suggestive and pleasing; one, too,
which has the true ring of personality
Often our curiosity is piqued at the
astounding epithets with which some
good folk christened their habitations
Why, for instance has Mrs. Tom
Young of New York called her beauti-
full summer home CONSTABLE" 1t is
not a family name, nor is the word to
be found in the dictionary. The I'M
tangling of the mystery simply reveals
that the name is a joke of Mrs.
Youngs own cracking. At the time of
the building, and to her chagrin, the
stable was "done" so long in advance
of the house that for a while she lived
in it and ate from a manger. 1t was

building of the place and in which

In q country so old as England and
where the land bears traces of Morse,
Saxon and Roman occupation, there
have naturally been preserved num-
bers of monosyllables descriptive of va
rious divisions of land. Thus, "Toft"
means grove of trees on hill;
Croft" an enclosure. Holm" desig-
stream, and rigs" applies to high
ridges of land. The meadows were
originally divided off into ''garths,"
while for high, tower-like rocks, the
monosyllable tor" retains it's usage.
1t can readily be seen how in COM
binAtions these syllables became very
valuable. In this country to-day many
of them are employed.
'Maycroft" is, perhaps, as pretty as
any of the names bestowed on the
Long Island homes. May" is the pc
tit nom of its owner, Mrs. Hermann
Aldrich, and croft" is here well used
to express that the place is enclosed
by bay. "Birchwold," house in the
woods; "Beechtoft." hill crowned
with these trees, are names readily in
terpreted.

tations nearly all bore euphonious
