A PROTEST.
Said the Dog to the Horse.

Said the Dog to the Horse,
can you tell me why. pray,
Those arrogant humans
Have such n queer way
When they put on n new show
Its sersse IN a fog
They say they will try 1t
At first on the dog"
Said the Horse to the Dog,
What I'd like to know
Is where these same humans
Get up a bum show
With 10 sense of merit,
Why, they I'LL any way
With a lot of fool antics.
And call it horse play?"
Said the Dog and the Horse,
I'VE raise bark and neigh
In protest emphatic
Gainst this human way;
Let them seek for their folly
Their own names, at least,
Nor saddle it ot1 an
Istelligent beast"

Great fplds of barley, corn and rye
Are wildly seen;
And where the earth and sky close

Huge willows white and naples
Spread their foliage green.
Little zephyrs dusk and SILVER

river
Flowing forever on:
BY the shore willowy yelled

Till they were gone.

Russian R%eyOIutionist Receives Many
Onera OF Help Here.

Nicholas Tchaykovsky, Russian revolu-
ZIONIST, received yesterday at his room in
the Broadway Central Hotel many sym
pathizers with the cause that he has come
here to promote. Representatives Of Social
istic and w~orkingn.en's organizations and
men of influence not identified with any
sort Of radiealism in America, called to ex-
press their sympathy with the movement.
Tchaykovsky said that there would be a
mass meeting at the Grand Central Palace,
probably on Tuesday or Wednesday, to en-
list the sympathy Of all Americans of what
ever political affiliations in the struggle
for freedom in Russia. He said that the
forty "intellectuals,' many Of whom are
former officers of the Russian army and
navy, were in Stockholm and would arrive
in New York soon.
He said that he had received no addi-
ionalinformationin re gardtothe execution
Of Lieut.. Schmidt and the rumor of a revolt
am ong the naval forces at Sebastopol.
he explainedthat the Russian revolutionists
had some time ago deoidedt to glorify Lieut..
Sch midi. He was not a German, as had
bee n reported, but a native Russian of
German ancestry. He had separated from
his wife, who was an ultra-conservative
and could not agree with him. They had
a boy, who is now 1s years old and a revolu-
ZIONIST of the most radical type. Lieut..
Schmidt himself was broad minded and
not an extreme radical. He refused to
identify himself with any of the Russian
revolutionary parties, but he ~sympathized
with all of them.
The revolutionary exiles in Geneva had
published postal cards with Lieut.. Schmidt's
picture and his %utterances while he was in
command of the revolutionary squadron.
These are being sold to help along the prin-
ciples for which the Lieutenant died, he
is already on the roll of Russian martyrs
of liberty and, T~ohaykovsky said, OF hui
man freedom in general.

Local Weather Prophet Emery was
visited b. a reporter for THE Sun shortly
after a o'clock yesterday afternoon. He
officially reeds the barometer at that hour.
The SUN man asked what was the result
Of his study of the aneroid.

man.

Can you give me any reason for de-

Nothing to say, said the weather man.
There are hundreds who are interested
In the official reading Of the barometer in
this city, and among these are sailors and
those interested in marine life and citizens,
too, who are anxious about the weather
In order to transact their business properly
and perhaps avoid serious loss through
q knowledge of what may be expected.
John L. Bliss. the nautical instrument
man, probably knows as much about the
peculiarities of the weather as any man in
town. Mr.. Bliss some time ago studied
with Lord Kelvin in order to familiarize
himself with the valuable instruments
that have been made by that scientist.
Mr.. Bliss said to a U reporter yesterday
afternoon:
THE official readin gs OF the barometer
Of the Weather Bur eau are Of immense
value not only to the sailor but to the lands
man. Many captains and ma ties while In
the harbor keep records Of the readings Of
the instruments on their ships hourly, and
II they can procure the readings OF the
bureau corrected to sea level they can
check their own Instruments or find out
what their error La and have them adjusted.
A barometer, whether mercurtal or anerold,
Is a delicate instrument which can easily
get out Of order. 1t is important to have
all instruments accurate, especially IN pavi-
eating.
many weather stations can be had, an idea
can be formed of what weather we may
expect, but a single reading at just one

POSTUM CEREAL.
A TORPID THINKER
The requiem Result of Coffee Poisoning.

A Toledo, o., business man says that
for three years he had nc appetite for
breakfast; that about once a month he
ate solid food at that meal, generally con-
tenting himself with his cup of coffee and
having no desire for anything else.
Coffee frequently plays this dog-in-the-
manger trick; while it furnishes no nutri-
ment itself, il destroys the appetite for
food which is nutritious. The result was,
in time, a torpid mentality. which was a
distinct handicap in his business operations.
Z Last Christmas" he says, Il consulted
brother, a practising physician in
Chicago, and he advised a diet of Postum
Food Coffee, instead of the old kind. and
also Grape-Nuts food. Since that time l
nave followed his advice with most ex-
cellent results. My brain is active and

CNTERMYER TO LAWMAKERS.
------
Tells Ohio Committee That Ousting Of Pres.
ent On1cials Is Most Important.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 2l,-Samuel
Untermyer, counsel for the international
p~olicyholders' committee, delivered an adj
dress to-day before the Insurance Commit
tee Of the Ohio Legislature. Mr.. Untermyer
was invited to come on from New York by
the chairman Of the committee and by Ohio
p~olioyholders' organizations,
The address was delivered at a hea ring
on tho new bills which have been introduced
In the Legislature. The bills include many
Of the recommendations made by the Arm
strong committee OF New York State.
Mr.. Untermyer. after going briefly into
the history Of the insurance scandals, said:
And low, when &C the result Of these
exposures which have followed the mere
scratching Of the surface Of this bottomle ss
sink Of corruption it is proposed that there
shall at last be an election for trustees as
contemplated by the C arters OF these COM
panies, at which the will Of the real owners
Of these properties shall be registered,
what do we find the attitude Of these rec
reant and self-constituted custodians OF
our property
"Do they welcome the opportunity to
make account of their stewardship as does
every honest trustee?
Hardly that. They openly oppose the
legislation. lney Actually employ coUnSel
at the polioyholders' expense to persuade
the Legislature that it is not TO the interest
of the policyholders that they be allowed
to exercise the rights reserved to them
by the charter.
"Rut that is not all, nor is ii the worst.
An election in one of the companies is nea 7
at hand. The helpless ~policyholders think
they would like to take a hand in that cleo
ton. They ask the officers for leave to
inspect the list Of p~olicyholders 30 as to
communicate with one another. The
management refuses. They appeal to the
courts. The management employs counsel
with their money. They win in the court
below. The mana cement appeals with
their money and they are defeated. With
unconscious irony as fine as anything in the
literature of the law the lee rned Appellate
Court says to the p~olicyholdeH at whose
expense these lists were complied and to
whom they belong: These lists would be
a vallta BILE asset in INSCRIPTIONS ands'--
as though it were posi- BILE they could eve
get into more INSCRIPTIONS hands.
"A prompt and radical change Of manage
ment is more important than any other
part Of your proposed legislation. Nread
Of the mana cement and impatience to be
rid Of it are the DONNA ting thoughts in the
minds OF the p~olicyholders. All else is Of
seoonda ~ importance"

HARLEM FOX HUNT.
Escaped Pet Leads q Lively Chase for
DOES and WOrkmen.

Some one is mourning to-day the loss OF
q handsome young fox, and incidentally Mr..
Fox himself pines over the curtailment OF
a well developed brush. The facts are
these: The contracting firm Of Sherry d
Gleason are blasting at l22d street and
Moningside Heights for a number of apart
ment houses. The rocks are high and the
inhabitants few.
While the noise of a dozen steam drills and
the shouts Of teamsters were at their height
Yesterday, the sharp Lose and pointed ears
of q fox, the pet Of some woman, peered from
a sheltering bush.
Hey, pike the dorg," suddenly cried
Johnny, the water boy. He SHE'D a stone.
The aim was good and with n zap the
"dorg" broke cover and appeared in plain
sight. "Darky joe" the dhller, had seen
foxes before.
Come on, boys, ana we'll git the bresh,
he shouted, and the chase was on. At llsth
street the fox doubled OF his pursuers and
for a time the trail was lost,
Then George Lawler, night Waterman,
joined in the chase with his pack of-hounds''
The logs picked up the trail and the chase
started back again through back yards and
over the rocky lodges to l22d street.

and boys and dogs surrounded him and cut

was up in Mr., Fox and he was equal to the
occasion. WITH a leap, ne cleared tne nedus
of his tormentors and landing in Il bank OF
snow twenty feet below. was away like a
streak. ,
Carlo, a dog OF questionable origin, gained
on the fox so much that the fluffy brush
| tickled his nose. The temptation was too
much and his dogship snapped. Six inches
Of tail was snipped of. When the fox got
through with Carlo that six inches oil tan
had cost the dog an ear. In the excite
ment old Joe had closed in. He made a
grab. Theirs was a wild scramble, and
when Joe woke up in a snowhank at the foot
Of the bluff MIR. Fox was hustling for Broad
way. There the fox miscalculated. He
ran into a fence corner too high to jump
and was bounced upon. =,
Miss Adelaide Simpson of 1890 Seventh
! avenue notified the police of the West 125th
street station last night of the loss OF one Of
a pair of white Alaskan foxes. The animals
| were sent to Miss Simpson by her brother IN
the Klondike, and are valued at 500 each.
The police are now trying to locate Darby
Joe, to whom the fox was intrusted.
