pEsTHoUsE FOR A DOG.
Too Valuable to XIII, He Will Have
 Quarters All to Himself.

Too Valuable to XIII, He Will Have
 Quarters All to Himself.
 Unusual distinction was paid to a dog recently, when the board of health of Derby, Conn, established a pest house exclusively for it, says the New York Press. The animal is valuable fox terrier, owned by John Kellar, a Derby merchant.
 MT. Kellar's daughter, five years old, became i'll with scarlet fever She and the dog had been inseparable, and the dog frequented the room of his lit tie mistress. Then the patients con. ditfon became so serious that the dog was kept out of her room. It sought her playmates in the school yard and romped with them for hours. Parents of the exposed children learned of this with alarm and at once petftioned the board of health to have the dog killed or quarantined
 On account of the dogs value, which is said to be several hundred dollars, the board decided to build an annex to the town pesthouse, and there the dog will be kept until danger of in- lection has passed

HARPER's RAP AT THE EAST

Chicago Educator Says 1t Is Narrow
 and Cannot Understand the West.
 Tt is impossible for New York to un- derstand the west It is impossible for the east to understand Chicago, and it is out of the question for New Workers to comprehend our university" said William Rainey Harper, president of the University of Chicago, at the an- nuaI reunion of the alumnae and alum nj the other day in New York.
 Loud and prolonged applause from the graduates of the institution on Lake Michigan greeted President Har- per's a1lusions to the provincialism of the east
 'AThe east knows nothing of the west" continued pr. Harper Boston is even worse than New York. Why, am told that half the residents of New England never have been west of New York state. How narrow and provincial that is, and how can men, coming from institutions in the east, have any conception of what we are doing in the west7 Their ignorance and misunderstanding are matters for ns to overcome.
 AOne of the missions of the Universi- U 0f Chicago, therefore, is to send men and women to capture and control the east If we don't do this what will be- come of ft?"
 Dr. Harper's address was the feature of the annual meeting of the eastern alumni of the institution Of which he as the head

Uncle Joe Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives, usually wears spectacles, but the other day he put on eyeglasses, says the New York Worlds Washington correspondent.

Poisoned with Mercury.

Some mysterious deaths of cattle in Attorney have been. traced to a curious source. Mercury was found in the dead animals, and also in many meadows and gardens, and the presence of the poison is attributed to a recent explosion of. a factory for illuminate of mercury. The fumes from the explosion were carried to a distance by a strong gale. As re- suit of the inquiry, the manufacture of explosives in the Island has been pro- hibited.

 An odd little urban of black velvet with two short black ostrich tips fast ened with rhinestone ornaments, worn at concert, was immensely smart and quite novel in design
 The 1880 modes prevail in the fur world as elsewhere in fashions realm Moleskin promises to be soon relegated to a place among the passing styles, but chinchilla has taken rank among the elect few that may be bought with out fear that it will be out of fashion in another season.

GIBBONS MEETS CARDINALS
American Attends Sunday Meeting al
the Vatican,

special cable dispatch to the New York
Sun from Rome yesterday says:
congregation of the cardinals under
the presidency Of Cardinal Oreglia di Santo
Stefano was held this morning. 1t was
more numerously attended than the pre-
vious meetings owing to new arrivals. Car
dinal Gibbons. archbishop OF Baltimore;
Cardinal Richard. archbishop of Paris and
Cardinal Won Skrbensky. archbishop of
Prague. have arrived. Forty-f1ve members
of the sacred college were present.
The cardinals received copies of the pro-
gram for the ceremonies Of the conclave, as
prepared by Pope Gregory XIV. A resolu-
ton was passed to observe the ceremonies
without modification. The next matter was
a proposal by Cardinal Oreglia to have COM
mon repasts during the conclave, in order
to save much work and time. He suggested
that the matter should be optional, those
preferring to take their meals alone in
their apartments being free to do SO.
At the end Of the congregation the pope 9
will was published. The belief is expressed
that the conclave will be brief. and that a
pope may be elected next Sunday.
The Voce Della Verita publishes the text
of the parchment. prepared by Mgr. An
CELLS. Jesuit. which was placed in the
pope's coffin. After a review Of the pontiff' 8
life and a reference to the malice Of the
time the document concludes:

Reginald Shelton, sixteen years old, fig
ured in a thrilling encounter with mad
bull Saturday on the farm of his uncle, w.

Shelton went into the field with a pitchfork
to drive the bull into the pen. A ring in the
bulls nose caught a prong OF the fork, and
a toss of the bovines head sent the fork
flying leaving the boy at the bulls mercy.
In this dilemma young Shelton jumped into
a convenient ditch. Time and again the
bull charged the boy with lowered head,
and once he stepped on the PROSTATE
youths chest. In the midst of the encoun-
ter help came and one Of Shelton's rescuers
sent a charge of buckshot through the
bulls hide. A physician pronounced Shell
