TRUE COLOR OF THE BULLDOG.
1t Was Originally Yellow, Though 1t
Is Unpopular Now.
Washinrton Post

Washington Post
A young naval officer returned TO the city
recently from an extended cruise throughout
the waters of the Eastern hemisphere, and
as usual, brought home many curious and
unusual things. OF these is more
worthy of mention than an exceedingly
handsome specimen of the English bulldog
presented TO the officer by friend. who
resides in remote and old-fashioned quar-
ter of England. In the opinion of local ca
nine experts. this particular animal. Rex is
his name, is perfect far form is con-
cerned, but exceedingly "on COLOR. In fact,
Rex Is what nowadays is very rarely seen
in buildogs; bright ,, bun: or orange vel
NAL. The fashionable color for modern bull
dogs, bull terriers. ETC.. is brindled black
and dun, with or without white spots; in
fact. most any color other than yellow.
Yet in one sense this same yellow color
should render Rex doubly valuable. Buff
or orange yellow was the original color
of the English bulldog. back in the days
of good Queen Bess and down late as
the days when Dickens wrote of Bill Sykes.
Then for some reason, the yellow color be-
came unpopular and breeders set about
eliminating the Objectionable hue, so that
for nearly century the yellow bulldog has
been a thing unknown and forgotten Yet
in certain old-fashioned stock-raising dis
tricts of England such as the West Riding
of Yorkshire. the primitive buff yellow bull
dog still exists and continues to be the fa-
vorite OF drovers who employ the animal for
the same purposes their ancestors used
MN Tor centuries ago anu from WHICH tLe
animal received the name-namely, for
catching and holding fierce and intractable
male bovines by the nose Cattle are ex-
treme,y sensitive about the noses and a
strong courageous bulldog can seize and
hold a refractory bovine for any short length
of time until secured with ropes, the huge
animal fearing TO move lest the pain to his
sensitive Eostrils be increase by the sharp
teeth of the dog. Therefore Rex. who first
saw the light of day in the region where
the primitive bulldog Is still to be found.
deserves mention the sole specimen OF the
ancient race of English bulldogs in Wash
ington. if not in the entire East

watched the ride in the Hippodrome Paler-

The preparations for his ride were under
careful direction, commission OF his fell

the horses which We're to bear him. These
were accoutered in the regular order of the

of arms or other burdens. Astorga himself
wore a woolen fatigue coat, cap. loose
trousers and cavalry boots. If there had
been need OF stimulation for the brave rider

IN A. F. ARMSTRONG'S MEMORY.


AT a meeting of the directors of Butler
College, held yesterday at the Commercial
Club, resolution was adopted that the
whole board should attend the funeral of
A. F. Armstrong, at Kokomo to-day Mr..
Armstrong was formerly president of the
board, which position he held for almost
ten years and resigned only last year on
account of his failing health. The following
memorial was adopted by the board
Addison f. Armstrong. for fifteen years
member of the board OF directors of
Butler College, died in his seventy-first
year on Saturday. Sept: 26. He had become
member of this board June 10, 1858. July
II, 1894 the presidency of the board went TO
him unsolicited. He served in that office
three terms, for nine years. He gave much
valuable time, without pay, TO the service
of the college. He was also one of the
largest contributors to the funds of that
institution, having given at one time $4,000
for tue endowment of the chair of Germanic
languages and having many occasions
contributed to other funds. 1t is fitting,
therefore. that the surviving members of the
board should, in their official capacity, give
expression of their appreciation OF the great
work he did for the college. We know that
his generosity went out toward many other
good causes, and that his gifts for educa-
tional purposes were only a part of his life
plan of sharing his fortune with deserving
interests. His life was gentle, and the end
found him prepared for the great change.
cessfully fought his fight.
Resolved, That we. the directors of But
Ter College, in special session, wish to ex-
press our great love for him as man and
profound esteem for his services, both in
time and moEey, to Butler College. We
have always found him man of gentle
bearing and Christian courtesy. He was a
good business man and faithful director.
AS friend of the college, he was ever
loyal to the best ideals of higher education.
He was noted for modesty and an entire
absence of seif-seedng and was ever ready
to defer to the views and opinions of
others SO long as they did not conflict with
his sense of right and duty.
His example a business man of pub
lie spirit and splendid liberality will ever
stimulate us TO nobler aims"
