S. P. G. A Gets Fees.

That tho paying 20 the Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals private corporation OF n
fee for a dog license issued by the city. Is viola
ton OF the charter and that while at present the
society alone grant licenses. Il IS the Board

the terms the Bowling big the yearly license
fec OF s. for each dog Is TO be paid TO the city in
stead Of the Society the Prevention Of Cruelty

have charge OF tho licensing
A Board OF Health official denied yesterday that
there any eninus against the society that tho
board would DO dollar more IN pocket by tho pas
sage Of the bill
The whole condition OF affairs" he said, as al
present anomalous No one has higher opinion OF
the good work wrought by the society than myself
yet it ia ndubitable fact that tho society in
terested in granting licenses and collecting fines for
them rather than in seeing that license is not
abused.
Indeed, ;he society has neither the power nor
the to correct the abuses Throughout the
year the Board of Health receives a mass OF COM
plainta about dogs barking and Of both dogs and
committing nuisances.
THE public looks to the board to that these
nuisances corrected. For the bulk Of these re
remedy is a refusal TO issue or renew a license

President John P. Haines OF the Society for Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Animals. in commenting on
the Downing BILL said last night:
do not think the twenty-odd thousand owners
OF dOgs and cats In this city want return to the

A Slew Yankee.

Europe can never, 1t seems, get used
to the yankee way of doing business.
even in England, where one would
think they had enough experience to
understand us.
One London paper devotes consid.
cradle space to telling of the visit OF
an American millionaire, who cabled
to London firm that he would call
upon them on the next Wednesday al
1890 a. m. Almost on the minute he
arrived and talked to the senior part
ner for twenty minutes at rate that
almost gave the Londoner heart fail
ure. Next day he came again, and in
thirty minutes had closed q deal that
meant a good many thousand pounds
year to the London firm, and on Sat
urday was on the ocean again, bound
for New York, leaving the partners in
a daze, which was dispelled only by
contemplating the signature on the
paper.
To us the wonder would be, not how
he finished his business so soon, but
what he did with all that time between
Thursday and Saturday. - Boston
