ltor or GenLer ScnOOl.
 Yesterday morning number or boys living on the east slde saw a small dog enter hen coop and commence to devour the eggs in the nests. The boys ran after him and when they succeeded in catching him they started ito cut him to pieces by inches. They had succeeded in cuCring off the tail and two hind legs of the dog and were about to subject hdm to greater torture when another small boy who happened to see them took the dog and put an end to his suffer ing. This is only one of several cases of cruelty to animals which have been enacted in the east side district recent ly.

SAUSAGE AND CAKES.

The feasts of Lucu1lus
 Were only quick lunches, pelmonico's dinners
 But boarding house steaks, The Waldorf-Astoria's
 Spreads only munches Compared with fried sausage
 And hot buckwheat cakes. It may be at six
 Of a cold winters morning. By the fiickering light
 That a tallow dip makes, The true epicure,
 All environment scorning, Will gladly eat sausage And hot buckWheat cakesN It may be the turner
 Is held by a loved one, Who knows just exactly
 The batter it takes, And is never at fault But is sure it is just dones And ready to add
 To your sausage and cakes. But it makes little difference
 Wherever you find them, If only they're good
 And not sodden mistakes. lAt home or abroad
 You surely won't mind them If nicely cooked sausage And hot buckwheat cakes. HI. W. DeLong, in N. r.. Sun.

Tribute to American Missionaries.
 KHARTUM, Sudan, Jan. 3O.-Earl Cromer, the British agent in Egypt, speaking at banquet here, paid trib- ute to the work of the American mis- sionaries in the Sudan, where the na- tives were learning that the foreigners visiting them were no longer slave dealers, but the bitter opponents of slavery. He said:
 "Let me testify to the special pleas ure afforded me by a visit to the ad- mirably conducted establishment of the American missionaries on the So- bat river, and to that of the Austrian missionaries on the White Nile. One is a Catholic institution and the other Protestant, but know no distinction between such efforts among the pa- gans, and they shall receive encourage ment and assistance"

EDUCATORS COMBINE
Board Chosen to Garry on a
 Great National Work.
ROCKEFELLER GIFT TIE FOUNDATION
Millionaire Started the Fund by Sub- scrfbing $1OO,OOO a Year For Ten Years-Many Other Gifts-The
 Scope of the Work Outlined.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The gen. eral education board recently char tered by congress for the promotion of educational work in the United States has organized here. The board consists of ". H. Baldwin, IT,; Wallace But trick, J. l.. M. Curry, Frederick T.. Gales, Daniel c. Gilmore, Morris K. Jesup, Robert c. Ogden, Walter H. Page, George Foster Peabody, John D. Rockefeller, IT,, and Albert Shaw.
 MT. Baldwin was elected chairman, MT. Peabody treasurer and MT. But trick secretary and executive officer. The business offices of the board will be at 116 Nassau street, New York city. One of it's main objects is the promo ton of rural free schools in the south ern states, although the charter con- templates educational work in all parts of the United States. Pending the granting of the charter the board has been at work for year under articles of association.
 At the beginning of its work "a gen. erous friend" as stated by the board, subscribed $1OO,OOO year for period of ten years, which sum, the board says, has enabled the demonstration of the possibility of effective work and the practicability of philanthropic CO operation with the public authorities. It developed that this donor was MT. John D. Rockefeller, ST. Other sums of money smaller in amount also have been received. A recent report that x7g, NfY +r y~10 at the disposal of the board is an nounced officially to be absolutely with out foundation.
 The board has issued the following announcement:
 sIn developing it's constructive pro- gramme to aid rural schools the board has counseled with state and county school authorities. State superintend- ents of public instruction in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana have held conferences of all their county superintendents at which the executive officer of the general edu- cational board has been a most well come guest He has accepted an invi- tation to meet the county superintend- ents of Florida at Gainesville, in that Stdte, next Week. IHe knOWleQSe InuS acquired and the relations esta bIished have convinced the board that the op- portunities are now at hand for wise and prudent investment of large sums of money to promote the education of all the people throughout the southern states. The fact is demonstrated that no wiser or more patriotic opportunity for philanthropy is before the people of the United States

Phil Stock a Witness.

A c. Stuever, president OF the Home
Brewing Company, and Philip Stock. presi-
dent of the st. Louis Brewing Association,
terday, and, it is supposed, were questioned
concerning alleged sandbagging methods

Stuever and Stock talked freely about the
subject. Stuever. as has been reported in
The Republic, said that when he was in
Kansas City the only person with whom he
talked on the subject was Governor Dock
cry. He said that he spoke to no members
of the General Assembly about the matter,
but put the matter before the Govrnor in
plain business talk.
The brewers offered to pay the compro-
mise fees Immediately, while II the com.
promise bill were not passed they proposed
to take the case to the United states SUI
until after the superior tribunal had passed
on the Legality of the law. StueVer pro-
nounced the story that $1,000 had been
raised by ST. Louis brewers to pass the
compromise bill as false from start TO nm
Ish Phil Stock verified the Stuevsr version.
According to the story which has gone the
rounds sandbagging legislators demanded

the story.
