A JUooERNAUT FOR DOCS
Automobiles Responsible for the Death of Many Capines in
 New York State.

Tn Brooklyn the people who own dogs are talking of organizing to stop the depredations of automobile scorchers, says the New York correspondent of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. 0ut where roads lead in long stretches to the rural districts of Long Island mor- tality among dogs has grown so seri- ous that day by day dozens of cherished pets are destroyed by the whirling mo- tor cars and their corpses picked up later by their owners. It is not safe to allow a dog out of the house alone, for ten to one he will never come back alive. The ferocious chauffeur rushes over him with his juggernaut car, and never even stops to explain.
 This is the newest thing in automo- bile outrages; the killing of human vic tims of various ages has lost its novelty. It is believed that unless autoists mend their ways when passing through the outskirts of Brooklyn they will find that to be a more dangerous route than the city slums wherein they are not wholly immune from showers of stones and other undesirable attentions.
 The enraged owners of pet dogs threaten to avenge their wrongs, and in order that it may not get so far as the lynching of chauneurs by hanging them from electric light poles. the police of outlying Brooklyn are adopting the method of stationing extra policemen along the roads to keep tab on the death dealing seorchers.

WATCH FOR FRIDAY NIGHTS ADv.,

ison to "A soclety Circus.' merely a feeble, fiickering flame that sputtered and died out without a struggle. No New Yorker nor any visitor to New York can permit himself to miss a visit to the Hippodrome. In short, the production represents the apotheosis of scenic wonder.
 Enumeration of the many features massed in "A Society Circusf' would require more space than have at command It is sufficient to state that in addition to the spectacular stage pictures there are acts by the greatest circus and vaudeville performers of America and Europe.
 The performance opens with beau tiful setting of gypsy camp in, mid forest, and here we learn that Lady Volumnia, well played and sung by Rose La Harte, cannot rid herself of vast fortune because her money is tainted. The gypsles show willing ness to assist Lady Volumnia, but she declines their offers in favor of Paul Pasky (not Pass Key), the bankrupt proprietor of a Yankee circus that has come to grief on Mars. sw
 She decides to provide for Pauf@a circus that shall break all worlds rec ords. and she keeps her word sn -sa A ballet entitled "Song of the F1oE- CTS" is afterward given to celebrate Lady Volumnia's marriage to Paul Pasky. This ballet is the most beauti- full feature in the history of dramatic dancing. Hundreds of pretty girls. dressed to represent different flowers, step. glide and swing through a series of figures that exhibit them to the best possible advantage.
 But the climax is yet to come This consists of an impressive tableau nam- ed The Court of the Golden Foun- talns," in which the tank of the Hlp- podrome is utilized. Several golden fountains upheld by daintily gowned stage beauties send streams of water and clouds of spray high into the afr.

MACHINE TO SMOKE CIGARS
Secretary Wilson Uses It to Fix vaI-
 ue' of Cigars,

secretary wilson uses It to FIX Nal- ue' of Cigars.
 Smoking six or eight cigars, from a clear Havana grown in Connecticut to Pittsburg stogie, all at the same time, is feat performed at the department of agriculture every day, says Wash ington special to the New York World.
 The officials wanted to test the burn- ing qualities of different tobaccos. In the absence of smoke squad" like Chemist Wiley's poison squad" the trick is being done by machinery. The machine is fitted with glass tubes, into which fit cigars, and the draft is given by vacuum caused by jet of water The machine has not been perfected so as to blow rings.
 The department has received many samples of "asbestus leaf" which does not burn freely and is practically worthless. In specially constructed room all the samples received are kept at an even temperature and moisture and are made into cigars, which are fed to the machine. Should the cigar burn evenly. without haking or other objectionable feature, the seed receives a favorable report. Should the cigar prove to be of the ''fireproof'' variety the seed is recommended for the fur nace
 The officials in charge also test wrap per leaf grown in the United States. This should be completely consumed. The wrapper is placed on cigar shap- ed mold and lighted. If 1t burns prop erly the seeds of the plant from which the leaf was taken are laid aside for use next year.
 By this method of elimination the of- ficials expect to materially improve the quality of tobacco and to reduce to a minimum the growers loss on unsala- ble tobacco leaf.

Rerfeiae .. RnrnI rutar.

A sensation has been caused by the fact that King Peter of Servia has ap- pointed Lieutenant Colonel Mishitch as instructor to the crown prince. says a Belgrade correspondent of the London Pal Mall Gazette It is well known that Mishitch was one of the principal regicides and that he personally took part in the assassination of the former king and queen. and the general opin- ion Is that he Is hardly the man to set a good example to the wild young prince. IL is whispered. however. that the king has given the matter due con sideration and thst be would not have taken such . step had be not persuad- cd himself that the prince can only be controlled by fear and that Mishltch is the only man that can inspire that sen timent in his s0n.

RAISING BLACK FOXES.
Maine Parmer's scheme to Procure
 Valuable Pelts.

Valuable Pelts.
 A Maine farmer who raises nothing but foxes claims to have discovered that the black fox Is not a freak, and he Is proceeding to prove this theory by mixing a black fox from Ohio with a red one caught in the Maine woods, says the Worcester Telegram. From the cross he has pair of fine black foxes ten weeks old. and as these twins are not the first he has raised the same way he Is confident that in time he may be able to replace all the red foxes on his farm and raise for the fur market nothing but the finest blacks, whose pelts sell for s200 to $500 each.
 Judging from sales made in the past, the four black foxes he has now are en- tered on his stock list as worth S1.0OO, and he feels rich. He has the foxes in closed by wire fence sixteen feet high and running down to the ledge. SO that the sly rascals cannot dig out. He feeds the animals and lets them have the full run of the farm. which looks like a weed garden with a few trees growing in 1t. but pays a profit with small outlay for labor.

STYLEo IN .rL1lWEAR..
CoIored Leather Pumps and New But
 ton Shoes For Both Sexes.

Col0red Leather Pumps and New But
 ton Shoes For Both Sexes.
 Pumps in welts and turns are much seen. They come in both kinds of leath- CTS, and in patent stock make a very dressy shoe for evening wear, says Shoe Retailer Some are shown in mems lines for use on full dress occa- sions and for.dancing purposes. i In addition to these in black stock, a number of the stores catering to 1 fashionable custom are showing them in coiored suede kid stock, in such shades as green, blue, red, pearl gray, tan and white for women's wear at in door dress functions. Their great popu- larity during the past season has led the dealers to look for some call for them during the fall and, winter for house wear.
 Button shoes for both men and wo- men are much seen in the fall dis plays in both the dull and shiny leath- CTS. Those made of the latter stock usually have the uppers of dull finish ed leather with buttons of the same kind to match.
 The ''pidgin" last is the name of the latest freak in mems shoes and is in clined to be rather an extreme cut. The inside edge is cut almost straight while the outside edge comes to a stop with practically square cutoff, which tends to give it a pigeon toe" appearance from which it's name is taken. The soles are heavy and quite extended which should not be especially desirable for winter use, since extension soles ac- cumulate so much dirt and dampness.
 Goodyear welts in women's lines are much seen, indicating that the dealers look for continued call for heavy boots for out of door wear. These are mostly cut along the lines of mannish lasts and are designed to be worn with out rubbers, thing which women have become accustomed to since the introduction of Goodyear welts in wo- mems lines.
 Custom lasts are still shown in mep's lines, some of them in patent leather but as they are first of all designed to provide comfort for tender feet the more porous feathers are the best sell CTS to those who can wear shoe of this kind. r.. s.2s, !. .f .
