8 KING HORSE HOLDS COURT.''
To the Editor of The Tribune:
We quote from recent headline
that was not uniting; but there is
an unconscious irony in the title that
brings with it a sicRening sensation
Ito some who know, for the king is
in letters, and whittier is he to be
led?
# the lion is rightly titled the king
equally the king of our fourfooted do
nestle fraternity. Powerful yet pa
tent is he, and, more often than a
friend, faithful and kind. Treated
half manly, he is a gentleman in re-
turn; and the times are not few when
ne proves himself even knightly
Not SO many suns ago these same
columns recorded the deed of Horse
Hero in the streets of New York, who
rather than trample upon a child,
himself jumped aside into deadly in
Jury
When the shot was fired to merci-
fully end his misery those about him
were men enough to take off their
hats.
But whittier is this king in letters
whose life is dedicated to the service
of mankind, being led? Too often
from his days Of youth and prime
from misery on to misery, till at last
when his aching bones are too feeble
to be longer of any profit. his ole
quivering flesh has been delivered tC
the horrors Of hell, the fortunes o.
which are too brutal to describe.
After the years of patient service
! who has delivered him up to this
Not God.
Shall that place of agony, @the labo
ratory," be his final "Court?"
| Let men see to it that America
holds no French Abort behind any Of
I its closed doors; that these good ser
{ wants when they are so used up thai
they come to be turned out to die are
not relegated to the slowly lingering
miseries of hopeless pain and starva
ton, but have secured to them al
last so much as the boon Of a quick
and merciful release.-From N Y

Family.
yT'helreport was published ID the city
papers on Sunday to the effect that
Mrs. Geo. 4. Werts had been lost in
New York on Saturday. The ex-Goy-
ernor reported her disappearance to
the police. 1t appears from an ex-
PLANTATION given by Mr. Werts that
Mrs. Werts went from the st. Regis
to the Waldorf Astoria. There she
found she could not reach the Imper-
ial at the time appointed, SO she tele-
phoned that she would arrive in few
minutes. The clerk failed to deliver
the message, and MIR. Werts, becom-
ing alarmed. asked the police to search
for her. He had scarcely returned to
the Imperial when his wife rejoined
him. Then they went to the theat
forgetting to inform the police. After
the play they had supper and then
went direct to their home in Jersey
City.
