jerome r. Peterson, of Brooklyn. who
has been appointed by President
Roosevelt to be consul of the United
States at Puerto Cabello, Venezuela,
is negro. The office pays about ST.
500 year. Venezuela has a white
government, in which, however, there
are black office holders. The Office at
Puerto Cabello is not very large or
important one; still 1t is not likely that
view with entire satisfaction this CIV
ing of a consulship to a negro when
there are 50 many native white Ohio
ans who would have consented to
serve the country at that point.

The Massachusetts Legislature is de-
terrnined. II it can. to put an end to
the use of money illegitimately for
election purposes. 1t has favorably
considered two bills bearing upon the
subject. IT issproposed to compel cam
didates before election to file state
them to secure their nominations, thus
placing in the possession Of the voters
the facts relative TO the matter. Since
many candidates are nominated mere
ly because they can put up money libers-
ally for campaign purposes, it is de-
sired that the public shall be an
formed with respect to such candi-
dates.

a correspondent of the New York
Herald utters a timely word when he
warns the public that every dog that
acts strangely and even froths at the
mouth is not suffering with hydro
phobia. Dogs are subject to many of
the ills that humans are heir TO. They
sometimes have acute indigestion, al
other times they have fits and oc-
casionally they are driven frantic by
teasing or torture. This correspondent
says that dog chat is mad does not
run around in circles; nor does il
froth at the mouth. The mad dog runs
in straight line and snaps at every
thing in the way; not that it really
wants to bite anything or anybody
but it is suffering agony and its only
solace is motion. les nervous agony
is such that it can brook nothing in
its Way, not even to touch it.

day. Many of them have nothing
else. However that may be, the dav
OF all dogs in England is soon 10 he
much shorter. 1t once consisted of
twenty-four hours, but a bill has baen
Introduced in Parliament which calls
for the ringing of dog curfew. 50 to
say, says the Boston Transcript This
dog bill is designed to lessen the dam
age done by dogs in the worrying of
cattle, and this it proposed to do Inv
instituting a kind of curfew for dogs
and robbing them of the time-honored
privilege of first bite" Hitherto in
order to be successful in an action for
damages done by a dog, it has been
necessary to prove a previous mis-
ehiexous propensity in the animal. The
nrst clause OF the new bin recites that
the owner of the dog shall be liable
in damages for injuries done 10 ann,
cattle by that dog; and it shall not
be necessary 10 show previous mis-
chlevous propensity in the, dog. mr. tha

Remembers Horse in Will.

DR.. John Gilwee, late of No. 3l35,
Meramec street, ST. Louis Mo, by his
will filed for probate recently, left
$4,000 to have his horse, Tony, that
he used for about twenty three years
cared for. He wanted the amount
specified ia his will placed in trust at
6 per cent per annum, and said interest
to pay for the horses food and shelter
so long as he lived and after his death
said $1,000 should be divided among
his legal heirs. This shows wonder
full the spirit Gin Doctor Gilwee
and that such a spirit should be com
mended to all men, especially those
who have to do with the dumb brute
creation, is a fact beyond dispute.

DIR. W. M. Morrison, a Southern
PRESBYTERIAN missionary to the Congo
Free State, in an address at Louisville,
XIV. cave an impressive recital OF the
alleged barbarities practiced on the
natives of Congo by the authorities
and of the obstacles thrown in the way
Of their correction by the officials
He said:
"T lived with these people seven
wears and know what | am talking
about Leopold has there native
eanutbal army of 10000 men, olticered
by white Belgians and armed with re-
peating rifles Men representing Inc
worst and most savage type of the ma
tives are caught and carried far from
their homes and forced into the mill
tary service. In turn this soldIery Is
used to compel the natives to bring 10
enormous tributes of ivory and RUBBER.
Tt is worth noting that the King OF
Belgium is today reputed TO De tae
largest dealer In ivory and rubber IN
the world, AS the result OF this forced
military service and labor great and
unspeakable cruelties are practlced on
the natives.
Il have seen 5000 fleeing to the for
ests to escape the cannibal soldiers OF
King Leopold. l have seen soldiers
securing the forests catching men
wanted by the government as laborerS
and taking the captives away with
ropes tied around their necks. Raids
upon villages are constantly made.
Some are killed, others are sold into
captivity, and others are forced into
labor and military service. One can
buy all the slaves wanted for $40 or Sl5
each.
'sIu these raids innocent women and
children are killed or captured, their
hands cut off and taken back to the
Belgian officers to show the work has
been well done. In one of these raids
near the mission stations one of our
missionaries counted so hands cut off,
drying by fire, to be carried to an
officer, and 45 dead lying near.
The Belgian government makes a
stereotyped denial OF all charges.

CHICAGO FAILS TO RESPOND.
SIS, 900 Promised Republicans Is
Not Forthcoming.

What is the matter with ChicogO:
That Is a question that is of interest
to the Republican National Committee.
That committee has called for the $780,
600 which Chicago citizens promised
as an inducement for holding the re-
publican national convention in their
city. When the committee called for
the money, the other day the aforesaid
citizens showed signs of embarrass
ment According to reports, t1ey'sald
they would like to spend the money
in their own way. Thai probably
meant that neither $4,000 nor any
thing like that amount would be spent
for the benefit of the convention.
OF course the committee objected.
It insisted upon having the cash to
spend in any way it thought advisable.
Then the eminent citizens admitted
they had not succeeded in raising the
money. 1t seems, however, that they
promised to go to work at once to raise
it, The secret of the failure thus far
to raise the money IS, probably, the
prospect that the convention will not be
profitable one to the Chlcagoans who
promised to "chip in" and make up
the S75, 0O0 # looks as if it would be
mere ratification meeting Mr..
Roosevelt will be nominated for presi-
dent and it is probable that nominee
for vice president will be quickly
decided upon. The convention, there
fore, may not be in session more than
couple of days.

Philippine SaVageS at the Fair.

A company OF head-hunting Igor
rotes from the Philippine Islands have
been taken to St. Louis for the World 5
Fair. These savages are polygamOus
and refuse to wear clothes of civiliz-
ed pattern. Furthermore, they insist
that their bill of fare shall contain dog
meat at least once day, either boiled
or roasted. They ought to prove
very attractive to the bored devotees
of society who will go to the fair in
search OF novelty, says the Savannah
News.

"Quick lunch" is one of the com
monest of city signs. The signs doesn t
saw "a health lunch of good food-the
character of the food apparently is not
considered, It's just quick lunch,--eat
and get away IS it any wonder that
the stomach breaks down? Food is
thrown at it, sloppy, indigestible and
innutritious food, very often, and the
stomach has to do the best it can.
Normally there should be no need for
medical assistance for the stomach.
But the average method Of life is
abnormal and while this continues
there will always be demand for DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t is the one medicine which can be
relied on to cure diseases of the stom-
ach and other organs of digestion and
nutrition. 1t is medicine designed for
the ston ach and to cure through
the stomach remote diseases which
have their cause in the arrangement
of the stomach and digestive and
nutritive system. 1t cures when all
else fails.
