 Of the Ladies Aid Society of Church of
 the Redeemer.
 The annual meeting of the Ladies Aid society of the Church of the Re- deemer was held last evening. No elec- tion was necessary, as the officers are chosen for a term of two years. The secretary and treasurer's reports were rendered, showing an increase in mem- bership and more active interest in all departments of the work. The ladies have newly carpeted the parlors and have acquired many beautiful china and silver articles for their tables.
 Instead of a supper Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Phillips, assisted by the managers of the Ladies Aid society, held a recep- ton for the church and congregation. The following programme was then given:

CHANGES IN TRANSFERRING.
Relieves Congested Points and Facili
 tates Travel.

Relieves Congested Points and Facili- tates Travel.
 To relieve the congested conditions at Chapel and Church and State streets, the trolley company has designated in
 addition College and Chapel. York and
 Elm, Chapel and York. as trolley trans fer points.
 Beginning last Friday conductors is- sued transfers for changes at these points only. In the past a number of
 patrons coming down the Dixwell and
 Shelton avenue lines have taken trans fers for Fair Haven and other lines on
 Broadway. On York street they stop ped over and after doing business about the stores, continued on the same trans
 Ger to Fair Haven. Similar practices were indulged in at other points of the large system.
 The result was that the corner of Chapel and Church and Chapel and
 State streets were made general trans fer points. Under the new rule passen-
 gers on Chapel, Dixwell, Shelton and
 Westville lines wishing to go either on
 George or Winchester avenue, will have to transfer at the New Haven house and not at the green. West Haven transfers will be issued at Chapel and Church streets and Fair Haven trans- fers only at Chapel and State streets.

N THE COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION.

IN THE COLOMBIAN REVOLUTION.
 The troops were lined up at that hour outside the hotel, and the general strut
 ted to and fro, waiting for his coffee and telling everybody what terrible things he was going to do to the ene- my. But a complication arose. Perez
 had not been a general long, but he wanted milk in his coffee, whereas nien Colombians out of ten are content with black coffee. There was no milk. The cows are kept three or four hours journey out of town and, of course,
 milk cannot be kept overnight in that tropical climate. The hotel folk figured that the milk could not arrive before il o'clock.
 The general fumed and fretted Some of his officers suggested that he
 had better start without the milk oi the enemy would escape, but he said i was impossible to fight on black coffee He sent soldier post haste to fetch the milk, and then another after hin | to hurry him up. Meanwhile the army stood in the broiling sun for hours awaiting the order to march. It was Inearly noon when the messengers re- turned.
 NO milk" they reported. "Caramba, Then I won't march til tomorrow w."-Thomas S, Alexander, 1T l Worlds Work.

WAR RECORD OF A DOG.

Once Belonged to General Botha and
 Had Followed Irish Troops Through
 Boer War.
 Unusual interest centered in a case heard in the Dublin police court yester- day, in which the leading figure was a bulldog that formerly belonged to Gen. eral Philip Botha and went through a good portion of the South African war. Ernest Warmingham, canteen manager for the contractors, was summoned for cruelty to the animal, which has been stationed for some time past with the
 Royal Irish Rifles at Richmond Bar racks
 The bulldog, which now belongs to
 Color Sergeant Edwards, Royal Irish
 Rifles, was accommodated with a seat in the witness box, from which point he seemed to take languid interest in
 the proceedings. He was dressed in a coat with green facings and wore sev- eral South African medals with clasps. The animals record is an eyentful one. During the Boer war he was captured | by the Second Royal Irish Rifles,
 Mounted Infantry, from Commandant Rnlllp bothd ldrHl III lnS OoOruoeA $ I in Sept ember 1900. From that time un- til the end of the war he trekked with
 the Rifles mounted force from Griqua-
 land in the west to Basutoland in the east, and lie still bears the scar of a
 wound received in action. Later he was with General French's column in Cape Colony.
 l For his service the bulldog now wears the Queens South African medal with | three clasps, and the Kings South Af-
 rican medal with two clasps.
 | MT. Drury remarked, when the case
 was called, that this was the most dis tinguished dog in the country, as he had medals.-Londo Daily Telegraph.

mortified at the suggestion that he should put it to sleep"
 Why, would as soon think of kill- ing my father or my mother because they were no longer useful. That dog has for years helped me to make my living, and I think such a thing would be very poor return on my part for all the service she has done me"
 Professor Wormwood has the only trained ant eater in the world. He says 1t was very quick to learn and does best in the Sherlock Holmes sort of tricks, where it ferrets out details and plays sly ruses on other animals. The math- ematical dog, big black Newfound- land, named Canso, was two years learning the plus sign. He was only a tiny puppy when his mathematical edu- cation was begun. His first lesson, which lasted for nearly six months, con- sisted in barking once when he saw the figure "1'' on the blackboard. His trainer touched him once, struck the floor once and made him give one short, sharp bark whenever he saw the figure ''1'' or a single block was placed before him. When that was perfectly under stood the figure ''2'' was taken up, and so on up to '10." Then he was taught to add and multiply in the same way, and now, when he is something like eight years old, he is perhaps the most accomplished canine in figures in the country.
 The animals that travel around the country together in this way get fond of one another and show this fondness in many cunning and attractive ways Sometimes two will only act together, being then bright and alert, and moping and sulking when separated Once when two "good'' monkeys, who had gone through their parts most credita- ply, were being rewarded with sweet cakes, and two "bad" ones, who had proved most refractory, were left cake less in their cage, one of the good ones carried his portion over and gave it all except the tiniest morsel to his comrades in disgrace. If one of the lit- tie company dies there is usually gene ral mourning for the moment if the body is seen by any one of them. They seem to have a way of silently commu-
 
 nicating any fact of this sort, but it is soon forgotten and breakfast and dinner and play time and work time interest them as before.
 One day while Professor Wormwood was talking to some friends two or three of the monkeys that were free in the room were noticed chattering to- gether and edging up closer and closer toward one woman of the company. Their owner knew they were perfectly harmless and so went on talking and waited to see what they would do Sud- denly they made a dash at the woman in question, pulling her clothes and pinching her gently. Then they ran off chattering and laughing delightedly among themselves The woman was very much startled and wanted to know why in the world they had select ed her to play such a trick on.
 Il would be willing to wager a good deal, said Professor Wornwood. "that | you are the only one in the room who really dislikes monkeys"
 This proved to be true.

TRAINING DOGS AND MONKEYS.

TRAINING DOGS AND MONKEYS.
 A man who for nearly a quarter of a century has been training almost every kind of animal from beete to an ele- phant,'' who is a close friend of that other lover of animals, Ernest Thomp- son Seton, and who is now the possessor of twenty seven monkeys, forty-two dogs and three bears, says that animals are just as easy to teach as children.
 Professor ". F. Wormwood, the man who says this, begins by making his an- imals love him. lie says brains do not work well under fear, and everything can be better and more quickly learned if the learning is pleasant task. When this man buys new monkey or new dog, he lets it play around for some days with the other animals, until it feels at home. Then he begins to pet 1t and get it fond of him, keeping on the lookout all the while for any peculiarity of disposition. any likes and .dislikes that would help him to determine what sort of trick it would take to most easi- ly.''
 To the slow, serious animals are gfv- en the heavy" parts in performance. and to the active restless ones the more playful parts Often an animal has learned trick while he still thinks he is only playing, really without any ef- fort at all. Again, an old trickster will be put through his paces" before be- ginner to help him learn.
 T never let an animal get tired prac- Using his tricks says this trainer; Ia few minutes at time and often is far better than long, tedious lesson The main thing in trick teaching is to get ansanimal's undivided attention With a beginner I like quiet, empty room; then talk to him just as I would to a child. As nearly as I can I use the same words and tones for the same re- quirements day after day. Animals quickly understand tones, and in my ex- perience they are almost as quick as children to understand words if a few simple ones are used over and over again in connection with their daily life.
 Tn the animal world, monkeys inclu- ded, single sound is made to do duty for number of related objects. Per- haps this is not so disadvantageous as it at first seems, for you see it leaves room for imagination.
 Animals sense things in number of ways, and I would not nlbe surprised if. they would not one day be found more susceptible to telepatfic influence than many human beings. They get to love their work, their different parts in the show, and are miserable if illness or any circumstance keeps them from it. had little terrier that was so old she was half blind and almost entirely deaf. But she fretted and fumed so when I began keeping her out of the public en- tertainments that had to let her go in for some of the minor parts. Her sense of time was so true that even when she could not hear her cue she rarely made a mistake. Now she is practically help less, and I'm boarding her where she can have the conpanionship of other dogs till she dies. Once give them a taste of public life, and four footed an inals are as bad as the other sort in their desire for it.

'But I didn't act so." protested the woman. I've not done anything that everybody else in the room has not done. I haven't even said word about how felt.''
 "Oh. that isn't necessary" returned the professor. Monkeys, and indeed all animals, to a large extent know per- feetly well who likes them and who is afraid of them, even when nothing is said or done. New York Tribune.

CURIOUS LAW DEFENSES.
Lawyer Who Made Seven Different De-
mails and Got Client Off.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Lawyers shape up curious defenses for
their clients in many instances" said a
limb of the law. Il suppose we are all fa-
miliar with the old story of the school
reader where the lawyer advised his client
to play crazy, and got a sleeps baa for his
fee l was reminded of the fact by a recent
publication in an English journal on the
subject of Curious Defenses.'
Zone excellent instance is supplied here
in what is known as :'COdd S puzzle COdd
was defending a client accused of stealing
duck. He set up seven defenses: % The
accused bought the duck and paid for it;
"a 1t flew into his garden; 90 1t was put in
his pocket while he slept; and Z are not
recorded; but some one suggested that
there never was any duck at all. The ac-
cused was acquitted, not because they
chose any particular defense, but because
they did not know which to choose, and so
gave the prisoner the benefit of the doubt
There is story told of an American
lawyer of note who after hearing his
clients story, asked him how much money
he had on him. The client told the lawyer
what he had and gave it to him. Now,
said the lawyer. you want me to advise
trouble Yes the client said Well the
lawyer continued, do you that win
dowT Yes said the client. We'll, you can
clear yourself by jumping out of that WIN
dow and run, run fast, and don't stop until
you get out of the country, and don't you
ever come back OF course 1 do not
vouch for the story, but 1t serves to show
the resourcefulneSs of some lawyers when
1t comes to constructing a defense"
