TREATMENT OF THE HORSE
On the Part Of the Rich in Some Re-
spects Cruel, While the Poor
Are Humane.

A stranger might suppose, with all
the pother New York makes about its
annual horse show, that the town really
cared something about horses. The
stranger would be very wide of the
mark, however, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Not only is the chief attraction of the
show the people in the boxes and the
gorgeous gowns which are trailed over
the arena by women longing for con-
sp1cuity, but the horse himself is made
to minister to this vanity and craze for
display with cruelty which stamps our
objection to pictures of a bull fight, OF
even to bull fight itself, with comedy.
For one bull which is tortured in bull
tight hundreds of horses are tortured in
this city by the very people who make
the horse show possible, and by their
imitators.
The inhuman docking of tails goes on
without any sort of protest from these
horsemen and horsewomen who set the
fashion in horseflesh as in clothing. In
deed, they are the worst offenders in this
matter The docked horse is not seen on
the truck team, but on the carriages in
the parks. The same thing is true about
the vicious overhead checks and the tor
turing bits which keep the poor beast Of
fashion perpetually nervous and restive.
Ii the owners Of some of these afflicted
horses could be sentenced by the courts
to wear for As hours the dams and gags
which their dentists put in their own
mouths it would be a fine example OF
making the punishment fit the crime.
and it might lead to reform.
Now an observer points out that these
same leaders of fashion weigh down the
feet of their horses with pounds of lead
to give the fashionable high action, and
the appearance Of weight. Under this
strain the legs of the poor beast give out
and they are sold for use on small carts,
where they are released from their tor
ture after the mischief has been done
and the legs have been hopelessly in
jured.
The poor truckman mercifully puts a
straw hat over his horse when he drives
it through the streets in summer. The
woman of fashion has the tails of her
painful than the removal of her own
arm would be under anaesthetics. Then
she has them riGged up with overhead
checks, with bits designed solely for tor
ture to produce restiveness, then loads
the legs of her victims with weights.
Thus equipped she is prepared to drive
to the police court to complain of the
truckman who omits the sheltering hat
in summer or who beats his beast when
the latter fails to draw his load And
yet we call ourselves an enlightened, a
human and Christian people. Verify,
the day for the satirist has not passed,
Voltaire or Dean Swift could find matter
for his bitterness in this annual parade
over the horse by the very people who
abuse him most shamefully.

GUILTY OF MURDER.
Charles L. Tucker Must Pay the
Penalty for Killing of
Mabel Page.

Cambridge. Mass, Jan. 25.--Gulty of
murder in the first degree was the vec-
diet returned against Charles l.. Tucker.
OF Auburndale. who has been on trial
since January ! for stabbinS Miss Mabel
Page TO death in her fathers home at
Weston on the 3lst of last March. Death
in the electric chair in the state prison
in Charlestown is the penalty. Tucker
collapsed utterly when the foreman
read the verdict He was led from the
courtroom across the street TO the Jail in
an exhausted condition, and when once
more locked in his cell revived somewhat
under slimulanls administered by Il
physician. The counsel for the defense
Is allowed 80 days in which to file their
exceptions, and sentence will not be pro-
numced until action upon these eXcep-
tions has been taken by the court
The murder of Miss Mabel Page. at
Weston. Mass, on March 81, 1904. at
tracted wide attention because of the
mystilyins circumstances surrounding
the case. Miss Page, who was 4 years
OF age. was stabbed to death in her
home. AT first il was reported that she
had killed herself. but the wounds failed
to bear out this theory. Tucker was seen
near the Page home about the time of
Miss Pages death and was arrested and
examined. He explained his movements
and was discharged, only to be rear
rested and formally charged with the
murder
