Slips Out of Moose and Is Shot as
He Sprang at PoIceman's
Throat
snecial tn The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-One little dog
kept the big fiat house at 100 East
Eighty-ninth street in terror all yester-
day. The animal was a pretty little
Spitz, and when a friend gave him to
Frank Holsten two weeks ago he said,
Just the right pet for my wife and
the baby"
After Holsteip went to his work yes
terday morning the dog began to run
about yelping and staggering. Mrs.
Holstein snatched up the baby and fled,
leaving the dog alone in the fiat. She
spent the day with the family across
the hall, going out from time to time
to listen at her own door.
The Spitz was I'm a bad way. Mrs.
Holstein could hear him jump upon the
table and scatter the dishes, bump into
the furniture I'm his blind rushes at
imaginary foes and gnaw the chair legs.
The cry OF Mad dog!" brought half
the children of the block into the hall,
listening to the suffering animals con-
Vulsions. Finally Holstein came home,
heard the news and got Policeman
O'Connell.
He entered the fiat with Holstein and
tried to stun the Spitz with his stick
The dog retreated under a bed, glaring
and growing. Holste1p made a clothes
line moose and with ttns the policeman
lassoed the dog. Thel be carried II to
the cellar at arms lepgth, intending to
take him to the yard and shoot him. In
the cellar the moose slipped and the dog
was free again.
O'Connell drew his revolver to de-
spatch him. The animal sprang at his
throat. A bullet entered his brain and
he dropped dead.

Torpedo Boat Pet Carries Mineral Col
ieetions From West indies In
His lnnards
Special TO The Herald.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.--A vermiform
appendix containing some portion of
the West indies was taken from
Flinky, mascot of the torpedo boat
Hoskins, yesterday by DR.. G.. r.. Hart
man. The operation was performed at
the dog and cat hospital in the pres
ence of several bluetackets.
Flinkey is a skye terrier, and is be-
lieved to be the first dog in the United
States navy to have appendicitis.
He always had a fine appetite, and
when the Hoskins was in West Indian
ports he would frequently get shore
leave. or take It. and snoop around
town to see what there was to eat. So
long as he was exercising and fighting
stray Indian dogs Flinkey managed to
digest the queer food he was taking
aboard from time to time. but as soon
as the Hoskins set sail for League
Island the inactivity of sea life began
to tell on him.
His friends, the sailors, were very so-
licitous about him.
"Flinkey's sea sick" said one.
And it's dangerous in animals. too"
nodded another. "1've heard tell of
cattle and horses dying of It, and any
circus man will tell you that the min
ute an elephant gets seasick they get
the tackle ready to heave him over
board"
Permission was obtained to send
Flinkey to the sick bag, but the SUR
geon said that he was not prepared to
give the case the scientific treatment it
required. He thought Flinkey had APP
pendicitis and he prescribed a course
of treatment which he thought would
keep him alive until the vessel reached
port, when the tackles might consult
veterinarian about their messmate.
This advice was taken and a delega-
tion was appointed to see that Flinkey
got fair play at the dog and cat hos
pital.l He was laid on table and
etherized. Then an incision was made
in his right side and his appendix re-
moved. The superfluous innard was
found to contain chunks of dirt and
number of stones. all of which he must
have picked UP in the West Indies.
Flinkev came out of the anesthetic
In good shape and his physician pre-
diets that he will recover

AMERICAN Wo0ING TOO RISKY

men, in their subjugation by American
woman, have the deep sympathy of DR..
Toyokshi Iyennaga of Chicago
II don't wonder there are so many
bachelors in this country" he said, in a
lecture at Minnesota university today.
"Courtship in America is such risky
undertaking. One little word NO and
the labor of months and, maybe, years
is lost.
People hold the view that the Japa-
nese woman is poor, spiritless creature
because she fans her husband while he
eats, bowling his going and coming. The
American man carries his lady's shawl,
ties her shoes, slaves from dawn to
midnight that she may have a new
bonnet; but do you call him a poor,
spiritless creature? The Japanese wom-
an of this generation are trying as hard
to redeem their lost rights and privi-
leges as the American man to recover
those rights and privileges so gracious
ly surrendered to his womankind."

WILL DRIVE OUT CELLULoID
Inventor Has Material Which Is Less
Expensive and Better Than
Gun Cotton Stuff

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2O.-The dis
covery by a Gablonz experimenter Of a
cheap and complete substitute for cell
luloid, which is not yet patented, has
been reported by Consul Mcfarland
from Reichenberg. The new invention
overcomes all the shortcomings, al
though retaining all the desirable quail
titles of celluloid. 1t is but little dearer
than glass.
The new material Is very elastic, abb
solutely non-inhammable and very
easy to work by the turner. BY a SIM
pie method lasting polish can be put
ON ali articles made from It. which Is
a great advantage over celluloid.
The material is without odor. is a
non-conductOr OF electricity, and can
be used for insulation. The invention
promises to be of great importance in
the whole celluloid industry. Patents
have been applied for.

West Chicago Youth overeomes OBJ
stacIes and Brings Fiancee to CHI
oaeo for Marriage Despite oblec-
tions and Remonstrances

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Fate, Cupid and
girls captivating voice over the tel
ephone were the irresistible forces
which brought about the romantic
marriage of two West Chicago young
people in Chicago last night. 1t is a
real story of How a Man Fell in Love
With a Feminine Voice"
1t was three months ago that Leon
c. Carlisle, 81 years old, manager of
the Chicago Telephone companys Of
flee at West Chicago, temporarily an
swered calls in the exchange during a
rush hour.
"Number, Please" Said Cupid
While he was saying the familiar
charming voice sounded in his ear.
"I want to talk with Miss -" it
said rs she there on duty now?"
Carlisle instantly was charmed by
the girls beautiful voice. He granted
her request and then made arrange
ments for an Introduction.
The following day he came into her
presence and he fell in love with the
girl, as he already had done with her
voice Miss Grace Robertson, 16 years
old, daughter of James Robertson, was
the young woman. The admiration be-
came mutual and last week when Miss
Robertson graduated from the high
school they decided to get married.
Girls Age a Temporary Obstacle
Carlisle tried to procure a license at
Wheaton, but the girls age was an in
surmountable obstable. Finally they
confessed their intentions to their
parents, who yesterday gave their
consent to the marriage.
Because of the opposition of minis
ters in West Chicago to the affair, Car
lisle and his fiancee came to Chicago
last evening and were married by
Justice Ames. The couple went to
Petoskey, Mich, for a honeymoon
Carlisle's mother lives in Oak Park,
where he is well known. The brides
father is a conductor on the North
western railway.
Wed in Dark at Midnight
A threatened charivari and desire
to escape the customary wedding show
er of rice and old shoes resulted in a
unique marriage ceremony in Evans
ton which was performed in the dark
at midnight on Tuesday in the office of
Justice Charles Viogt of Evanston and
was kept secret until late yesterday
afternoon when the friends of the two
discovered it,
Shortly before midnight Justice
Voigt was awakened by a soft rapping
on the door of his room. Elihu D.
Cooper, Jackson and Foster streets,
Evanston, stood outside holding in one
hand a marriage license and in the
other the hand of Miss Minnie KEELING,
1903 Roscoe boulevard, Chicago.
I'VE would like to get married at
once if it would not trouble you too
much" they said, and explained the sit
uation.
Though in darkness he performed the
ceremony.
