Ia the early part 81 the spring when

Friends of HO0e
DiSCredit Suicide

Friends of Mr. Hooe I'm Washington
are disiuclined 10 believe that he in
tentionaIy took his own life although
reports from Warrenton indicate that
such was the case. About a year ago
Mr.. Hooe suffered several heart attacks
and it was known among his most in
Innate friends that he,Was greatly WOT-
ried over his condition. During his
school and college days Mr.. Hooe was
a great athlete. a fine oarsmau, base
ball and football player. and an expert
boxer.
Until a year ago. when he was ex-
amined by a Washington physician. who
told him that his heart was very weak,
Mr.. Hooe continued TO take a great
deal of exercise. Since that time how
ever. he has been careful OF himself,
and last winter rode 10 hounds so in
frequently as TO cause surprise among
his fellow members of the Warrenton
Hunt Club. who had known him as one
of the hardest riders in Virginia
Persons who were with him at his
house on Sunday, the day before his
death. remarked that he had recovered
the spirits that made him so popular
adding that they had not seen him so
cheerful IN months It IS because of
this that there is such strong doubt
as 20 the suicide theory.
In Washington Mr.. H0Oe was known
as an automobile enthusiast For sew
eral years he kept a car at local
garage. He was always To he seen AT
the race meetings OF the Washington
Jockey CLUB. of which he was a member

for winter is most unpromising. The
price OF butter per pound has gone up
4 cents, ana not only do the merchants
agree that this is justified in the con-
ditions under which the supply is pro-
cured. but they also state that the
prices viii without a doubt stay up
through the winter, and possibly go
beyond the present figure.
Eggs Now Luxury.
Anybody who depends upon eggs for
his breakfast may also feel strong

vanced. The best eggs are now bring
nag - cents dozen, although an In
ferior grade may be bought for 28 cents.
This may also be regarded as q condl-
ton likely 10 prevail. although there is
some hope given that the price may
come down In six or eight weeks. This
is only Il surmise. however. and the
merchants are by no means sure that
there VIII be a change ia the schedule

The dream visions" of Mrs. Andres
in which she answers the questions asked
her by the audience, again proved the
big drawing card at the Bijou last night
when the second week Of the vaudeville
bill with the Andres as the top liners was
inaugurated.
Beside the dream Visions there are
several other clever features on the bill
making 1t far more attractive to the the
atre-goer than was last weeks pro
gramme. There is one new act, Kin Ka-
Kuja, a Japanese magician. and Mr.
Andres gives an exhibition of his ability
as az ventriloqulst, which Is very good.
AS before, Mrs. Andres answered all the
questions asked her last night. One strk-
ton of a woman in the audience. who

Mrs. Andres answered the question In the
affirmative. She not only called the name
of the man about whom the question was
asked, but also called that of a friend

spoken in the theatre or was there any
known means of communication by which
Mrs. Andres could have learned #. This
more than anything else, puzzled the au-

answer.

So great was the amount of refuse that
the wagons could not cart 1t all away. and
the work will be continued today
In many localities the residents had
prepared for the coming of the city's
forces. Premises had been cleaned grass

WILL REORGANIZE
HUMANE SOCIETY
ARREsTlNo OFFICER BENNIE sUG.
GEsTs COPYING AFTER NEW OR.
LEANS socIETY-NExT MEET
ING ON JULY %,

Arresting Officer L. A. Bonnie of the
Birmingham Humane society has lately
received lot of new literature from the
secretary of the Louisiana State Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
giving statistics as to the status of the
humane work in New Orleans and pamph-
let's abstracting the charter, constitution
and bylaws and outlining the scope of
the institution. Among other things IL
is shown that the New Orleans society
has a membership of 767. During the
course of the year ending December 81
1905, there were n total of forty-three
convictions for the violation of the hui
name laws of the city. besides repri-
mands for unnecessary cruelty and hui
animals and other actions that come
within the power of the society
Mr.. Bonnie says that the New Orleans
society is perfectly organized for the
work which 1t is doing. 1t numbers
among its members some of the best
known citizens and firms of the Crescent
City, and the people seem to take a
NbhoNlOup pilut III llf WOIk Whitu ~ bt-
ing done. One point especially which
Mr.. Bonnie took occasion to commend Is
that the society has Installed a total
of twenty eight watering troughs
throughout the city. Another thing
which he deems worthy of praise is the
fact that all stray and homeless dogs
are painlessly put to death by means
of asphyxiation. The humane officer is
especially DESTROYS of mitigating the UNI
necessary cruelty practiced in the de-
struction of stray CANNES found untagged
on the Birmingham streets. Acting upon
the advice of Mayor Wand. he has or
dered two strong dog nets, which will
be used In picking up the dogs In the
future thus obviating the cruel method
of sepli-strangulation that the use Of the
present wire loop causes.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Bonnie to pre-
sent this literature to the society, when
1t shall hold It's next session on July %,
and suggest to the meeting the advlsa-
bility of reorganizing the Birmingham
Humane society along the lines of the
one that is doing such effective work in
New Orleans.
