POOR "MOPSIE" is DYING
Aristocratic Poodle of Mrs. oeIrichs
Victim of Asthma-To Be
Buried at Newport
Special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-In Mrs. Her
mann Oelrichs' Fifty-seventh street
home are solemn preparations for an
elaborate funeral being carried for
ward. Quiet servants tiptoe about the
big house, getting ready the expensive
little coffin which will just fit into a
little grave at Newport.
For the doctor who comes in several
times a day to instruct the nurses has
said that Mopsie will surely die, and
that in very short time Mopsie is
well known in Fifth avenue society as
a poodle with the most aristrocratic
blood of French kennels running
through her veins.
Mopses death will be consistent with
her luxurious life. yapor baths of pine
tar and menthol and alcohol .rubs. have
been provided and the temporary sani-
tarium on the first floor where the
poodle lies suffering from asthma has
been fitted UP with every appliance
that Dr. C. E. Clayton's veterinary art
can think of, but Mopsie must go.
Mopsie was born with a silver bone
in her mouth. She has lived in luxury
as it is understood in New York's
highest circles, and has had everything
she wants-a private nurse daily car
rlage rides, auto rides, and several
times she has crossed the ocean that
her education by travel might be COM
plete.
Her illness first manifested itself by
a tendency to get tired and difficulty
in breathing. When she took to her
kennel she was removed to the first
floor, and here he has lain until her
breath came in gasps like escaping gas
in Avenue A. Everybody, not only in
the Oelrichs home but in other homes
which. have known the poodle's pres
ence, is anXiously awaiting the inevit-
able announcement.
Mrs. Oelrichs has one consolation,
however. Mopsie'c lifelong companion
and playmate, Louisette. has been pre-
served. An operation is being per-
formed, which the surgeons assure the
family will restore the dog to her for
mer health. Louisette has kidney trou-
BILE, due, it is said, to a dispute over a
piece of chicken with one of II. P.
Whitneys dogs, in which she was Bit
ten i'll the side. Next week an opera
tion will be performed which will re-
store Louisette.

HORSE APPEALS TO BOARD

NEW DIRK, Feb. 21.-The gilded sign,
"Queens Borough Department of
HEALTH" proved welcome sight to a
suffering horse yesterday and he made
run for it with a rickety old fish
wagon at his heels. Intent on appeal
ing for aid in ridding himself of the
aromas that constantly pursued him,
he started up the stairway leading to
the complaint desk
He fell in heap, the wagon load of
sea food that was his bane scattering
around him. He gave a despairing
neigh, and the health department
knocked off work, took hold of their
noses and went to his aid.
The clerks commiserated with the un-
happy horse. who piteously begged re-
lief from fish.
In his fall the doors had been knocked
right into the department of health
with him.
John smith was the owner of the
horse and wagon. Two minutes after
the horse had fallen Smith unslung the
wagon from the horse. drew it down
stairs into the street, then gently
kicked the horse into standing posi-
ton and hitched him.
The horse turned and looked pitifully
at the throng of health officials. He
pleaded to the best of his ability for
relief from his load of fish, but none
dared to help him.
Weeping bitterly over his unhappy
fate the horse dragged his pungent
burden on its way.

GAP0N SUBSIDIZED BY
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
SOCIALISTS ARE DELIGHTED BY
DISCLOSURES
Radicals Claim Press Agent Was
Brains Of Movement and Author
Of Great Petition Which Caused
Bloody Scene at Winter Palace
BY Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 21.-
Through the disappearance of jour
nalist, Matushensky, the press agent
and real brains Of the Father Gapon
movement, the disclosure has been
made that the moderate labor organ
which Gapon established In st. Peters,
burg after the publication of the inn
perial manifesto, october S0 1904, was
subsidized by the government, which
supplied the funds for the rent of its
club house and literature.
Radical circles are elated over the
revelation, which was made In an open
letter by the president of the Putiloff
section of the organization, complain
ing that $4,000 of the funds furnished
through NJ. Timiriazeff, until recently
minister of commerce, had not reached
the treasury.
The Socialists claim that this spells
the downfall of the conservative oppo-
sition to the full revolutionary program
among the workmen.
1t is now shown that Gapon really
played minor role in the formidable
movement of January, 1905, and that
Matushensky was the director of the
campaign, which mystified the police
and the old-time revolutionists, and
that Matushensky was the author of
the great petition with which the work.
ingmen were marching to the Winter
palace ON Sunday, January %, 1905, to
present to the emperor when the troops
fired on them.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Even lamb
chops are no longer secure against
adulteration. Butchers can now make
them out of almost ahy old thing.
Prof. Wiley, chief of the bureau Of
chemistry, appeared before the house
committee to tell of the adulteration
of wines, and to illustrate the expert
ness of adulterators. He said:
II stopped in local butchers the
other morning and ordered some lamb
chops sent TO my home. When I got
home ] looked at the chops, not be-
cause 1 suspected anything, but be-
cause of their excellent appearance.
In examining one of them found that
the meat about the bone readily
pulled off. On further examination /
found the meat coarse grained and
not lamb at all. The chop was a
counterfeit. The bone of the lamb
was there, but in some manner meat
what kind do not know-had been
neatly pressed about it. IN cooking
the meat would have adhered to the
bone and only a careful examination
would have shown the deception"

CONRlED AS ADVANCE AGENT
Instead Of Sailing for Europe He Will
GO Ahesdv Of the Opera
Company on Tour
Special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-wheu the
Metropolitan Opera company begins it's
spring tour. March 10. II will claim the
distinction of having the highest sal
aried advance agent that has ever un-
dertaken the task of looking after the
plans for the long trip, which will take
the singers across the continent and
back again. This high saaried advance
representative will be Mr.. Heinrich
.Conried himself. Always seeking
originality in connection with the pro-
auctions at the opera house, the di-
rector will do something quite out OF
the ordinary this season In going ahead
of his own company.
Mr.. Conried had planned to go to
Europe before the close of the season,
but he has changed his mind, and i'm
stead of sailing for Europe he will
leave New York n week ahead of the
opera company. While the organiza-
tion is in the east he will most al
ways be found several cities ahead of
his singers. When the company begins
its long journey to the Pacific coast
Mr. Conried will have o good long
start in the direction of the land of
fruit and flowers. Unless he is de-
layed, he will reach San Francisco two
weeks ahead of the singers.

determination to be his own advance
agent was in no way q reflection on his
executive staff, who usually do the ad-
vance work of the tour EVERY ar
rangement, be it ever so minute, has
already been made for the tour" said
Mr.. Conried, land 1 am perfectly sat
isfied with everything that has been
done; but I am convinced that it will
be good plan to get start ahead
of my company and go over the ground
myself before Il arrives, something
that has never been done before, so far
as the head of the Metropolitan COM
pany is concerned.
"Of course I shall find it convenient
to stay back with the company when
1t is appearing for the first time in
some cities, but I hope to be ahead
the greater part of the time" He
shook his head and said he would not
undertake to boom his prima donnas
or tenors, nor will he in the newspapers
of the west have his songbirds losing
their diamonds or describing the food
of their pet dogs. But he expects to
see that everything in connection with
the tour is just as 1t has been ar
ranged.
