| FAILED TO CHECK THE RAVENOUS
BEAST.
However, it had not gone far when it
ran into a snowdrift and stuck fast.
Some of the passengers determined
to get out and walk back to Krucso,
but the prospect seemed so uninviting
that they decided to remain where they
were in the hope that the train would
soon be able to restart.
Seeing that it would be impossible to
clear the line, a party of railway Off
Gals returned to Krucso to try to OBJ
tain sledges. This they did with great
difficulty, and towards evening drove a
number of them back to the train.
The cold was intense, and by this
time some of the passengers had been
rendered almost insensible, while one
baby had actually succumbed. Warmth
and food must be sought at once.
The sledges were only small ones,
holding three persons, and these were
speedily filled.
Hardly had one of the vehicles begun
it's journey before its three occupants
heard a terrible ~sound-the bowling of
hungry wolves.
They began to wish they had never
left the train. Death from cold would
be better than being cruelty torn to
pieces by wolves.
The horses were dashed forward, and
went off at full speed over the heavy
ground.
AS the noise of the wolves grew
louder, one of the passengers looked
round, and, to his horror. saw a pack
of the savage beasts approaching at q
high speed.
Nearer and nearer came the pack,
until the travellers could almost feel
the breath of the animals blowing or
their faces.
The horses realized their danger and
became unamanageable, rushing ahead
in fright. The driver was powerless to
restrain or guide them.
Revolver shots were fired at the
wolves, but these failed to check the
ravening brutes, who were gradually
getting abreast of the sledge. and in a
moment would be level with the
horses.
Then something happened.
The sledge struck against a telegraph
pole and overturned it's occupants into
a ditch.
The travellers thought their last hour
had come and nerved themselves to
fight the pack with their hands. if nee
essary, until they were compelled to
sink exhausted to the ground, awaiting
an end which was too awful to contem
plate.
Recovering from the shock of their
fall, they looked up, fully expecting 10
see a throng of hungry monsters with
lolling red tongues and hideous faces
standing above them; but what was
their surprise to find that the outlook
was quite clear.
In fear and trembling they scram-
bled from the ditch and looked down
the road, where a fearful sight met
their gaze.
The wolves had pursued the sledge,
and were d%evouring the maddened
horses. Their CHASTITY meal finished,
they started off again.
The three frightened travellers were
picked up shortly afterwards by the
other sledges and conveyed to Krucso
and safety.

Suggestion for Gov
eminent of Washington Asylum.

After long and careful study of conditions
at the Washington Asylum. Of which insti-
tuition he assumed the charge about year
ago. Superintendent L. F. Zinkhan has sub
mitted to the Commissioners. through the
board of charities completely revised set
of rules for the government Of the institu-
ton. For the board of charities George r.
Wilson, the secretary, states that the rules
and regulations prepared by Mr.. Zinkhan
had been considered and modified in certain
RESPECTS by the board, and further explained
the conditions surrounding the institution
and its new set OF laws in the following In
dorsement:
This institution is composed OF SO many
different departments that 1t requires a
very comprehensive system or rules 10
cover the whole. 1t Is the opinion OF the
hoard of charities that pending the removal
Of the almshouse the proposed rules and
regulations should be adopted but not
printed. The cost Of printing would be
considerable, and sufficient number OF
comics for present needs can readily be
made ON the typewriter. Within year the
almshouse will be removed, and the rules
covering this part of the institution will be
eliminated 1t Is probable. also. that be-
fore that time the experience OF working
under the proposed rules may suggest some
changes.

PUBLIC VEHICLE FOR HIRE.
Question Before Police Court Which

h,oE and as such is It necessary for ii to
occupy the public hack stands designated
,v tho commissioners of the District? This
was the question which came up before
Judge O'Neal in the Police Court yester-
aav for his decision. II was largely test
case and was brought such by Hack In
specter Cats of the District.
In his decision Judge O'Neal held that
licensed automobile which took out a IL
cense under the public vehicle law as a
hack is not allowed to stand on the public
streets except at those places designated
az public hack stands. Samuel Gassen-
heimer who WAS the defendant III the case
was found guilty of allowing one of his
licensed automobiles to stand In front OF
the Columbia Hotel, on pennsylvania ave-
nue., which Is not a designated public hack
stand and was fined $40. Attorney ID. w
Baker, who made light for his client In
the Police Court, gave notice or his inten-
ton to carry the case to the higher court.
The question Is regarded of much i'm
portance in the District, as 1t involved the
Interpretation of the police regulations as
meeting new conditions, and on 1t depended
whether the regulations now In force would
prohibit automobiles to make conditions on
Pennsylvania avenue such as the present
hack law was designated to meet and pre-
vent. 1t was passed to prevent the crowd
ing of the avenue with hacks for hire, and
II is said the automobiles for hire were be-
coming numerous and were likely to inter-
fere with the regular traffic
The evidence in the case showed that, al
though the owner of the automobiles had
an Office in the hotel IN front of which the
machines were stationed, they were for hire
by pa ssers on the street, as several officers
in citizens clothes hired machine with
out being guests of the hotel or going to
the Office.
Attorney Baker contended for the defense
that an automobile was not hack and
therefore was not subject to the regulations
governing hacks for hire, and, further, that
they did not have to remain at the stands
designated as public hack stands. 1t was
also contended that the Office was in the
. hotel, and that therefore the machines were
for the guests of the hotel, and. by the reg
ulations had right to stand there.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Smith ar
gued that this was public vehicle for
hire" within the meaning and wording of
the law. and therefore was subject to the
same regulations as other public licensed
vehicles for hire. This was the view of the

the members shook his hand cordially. and

want more money" said Mr.. Wilson. Your
men are getting $50 day now. and I
reckon you want their pay raised to the
union rate"
Being informed that was the purpose Of
their mission, he rejoined:
well, we are all working men and I
will be glad to give you the increase you
desire. It will mean more money for the
farmers. too. and 1t is right that they
should get 1t. The pay of the two painters
employed by the Department of Agriculture
will be increased from the present figure of
$50 day to the union rate of $3.50. and I
will issue an order to that effect right
away. Good day. gentlemen; any time

TO ENDORSE OR

REPUBLICAN TERRITORIAL COM
MITTEE MAY HAVE A DISCUS
SION THIS EVENING.

The question of whether the admin
istration ought to be formally endors-
ed, in view of the omission of such an
endorsement by the Republican con-
vention may be brought up at the
monthly meeting of the Republican
Territorial Central Committee this
evening. A proposal has been made 70
bring forward an endorsement, like the
one passed in the county committee.
The plan will be opposed it is
said, if it is brought forward, on
the ground that the committee is not
required to take the matter up at this
time. 1t is not improbable that there
will be considerable discussion of the
proposition. If it had been presented
to the regular convention, it is said,
there would not have been any opposi-
ton and it would have gone through,
but some of the politicians object to t
at this time.
