GAzELLlE HOUNDS.
A Breed of Dog That is Finding Favor
 Here and In England.

A Breed of Dog That is Finding Favor
 Here and in England.
 Many and varied are the valuable breeds of dogs that of late years have been introduced into England and this country. The newest addition is of specimens of the beautiful race of greyhounds known as the slughi or ga- zelle hound.
 This breed calls forth the admiration of all lovers. of dogs, and is one which for countless ages has been valued and preserved. Portraits on the ancient monuments of Egypt prove that thou sands of years ago gazelle hounds graced the courts of the Pharaohs and monarchs of the far east.
 In the present day, says the Boston Globe, these same dogs are still bred with great care. They are principally to be found among the nomadic tribes of the eastern deserts. The name slughi, which specially denotes this breed, means in Arabic a greyhound, or hounds, as distinguished from the dog or kelb, despised animal in the
  east.
 With harmonious proportions, active but ever elegant movements, keen, far seeing eyes and quick pace, 1t is seen at a glance that the slughi is not only to be looked upon as dog for pleas ure and ornament, but also as a sportsman" Contrasting the points of these greyhounds with European standards, it is further seen that they possess special attributes adapted to their country and the nature of their port. The feathered tail, carried high when galloping, Is sai to steer them over the often breezy desert;" the soft fine coat is suited to the heat, and their feet are specially formed, being pressed open in order to give a greater hold on the sand. Strong elastic sim ews are provided for leaping over rocks and crags in mountainous parts. One of these dogs in England has been seen, with standing jump, to leap a deer park wire railing. Their speed vies with that Of the gazelle. for the pursuit of which the slughi ise sued for coursing, or as an adjunct to falconry.

TTHE REVOLT OF ISLAM.
A Remarkable Letter to Lord Cromer
 From an Egyptian.

A Remarkable Letter to Lord Cromer From an Egyptian.
 It is well known to you that the tele- grams and newspapers appear each day, bringing nearer to us, as it seems, the likelihood of grave differences be- tween England and the empire on mat ters relating to our land of Egypt. But as the hopes of men for things de- sired are often disappointed, so also for God is merciful to His creatures do their fears of evil come to naught. We pray the Almighty that 1t may be so now l who write these lines in the name of "All the People of Egypt" am not statesman or a man of great name; my person and my dwelling are alike unknown to you, but feel con- strained ,inasmuch as I zee many fool ish acts committed and hear many foolish words spoken to stand on my feet and say the truth as I think God has put it into my heart.
 It is often said by fools, or by those who think thereby to make favor with the great, 'The Curse of God upon the Christian" May hell consume the un- believer, his household and his possess rsions" These are unbecoming words, for curses pollute the lips of thecurser and the camel lies in wait for the dri- yer who smites him unjustly At the head of this letter call you by the name of "The Reformer of Egypt and by this name you are known between the seas and the deserts; also many. but not all, of the English who serve under you have followed in your foot steps as wise children carry on the traditions of their father He must be blind who sees not what the English have wrought inEgypt; the gates of justice stand open to the poor; the streams flow through the land and are not stopped at the order of the strong: the poor man is lifted up and the rich man pulled down; the hand of the op- pressor and the briber is struck when outstretched to do evil Our eyes see these things and we know from whom they come. You will say; Be thank full, oh, men of Egypt! and bless those who benefit you;' and very many of us-those who preserve a free mind and are not ruled by fattery and guile-are thankful. But thanks lie on 1 the surface of the heart, and beneath | is a deep well. While peace is in the land the spirit of Islam sleeps. We hear the Imam cry out in the mosque lagainst the unbelievers, but his words pass by like wind and are lost. Chill dren hear them for the first time and do not understand them; old men have heard them from childhood and pay no | heed.
 But it is said, There is war between England and Abdul Hamid Khan. If that be so, a change must come. The words of the Imam are echoed in every heart and every Moslem hears only the cry of the faith. As men we do not love the sons of Osman; the children at the breast know their words, and | that they have trodden down the Egyptians like dry reeds. But as Mos lams they are our brethren; the Khalif holds the sacred places and the noble rencs Though the Khalif were hap
 less as Bayezid, cruel as Murad, or mad as Ibrahim, he is the shadow of !God, and every Moslem must leap up

For those who care to study the character of dogs it may be interesting to know that the slughi differs in tern- perament from dogs of European breed. Unconscious of their good looks, they however exact much atten- tion and more than an ordinary amour of the affection and sympathy that exists between the true dog lover and his dog. The dog repays his share with most touching faithfulness.
 This characteristic, which is as- cribed to the Arab horse, results no doubt from generations of close inter- course and companionship in the lone- ly deserts, where mutual dependence and trust must be the rule of life. With new friends they are shy until sure of their surroundings. They re- sent rough treatment, but are most re- sponsive to kindness, and are sensible. docile, extremely affectonate and gen. tie. Accustomed to children, they be- come very fond of them and make con- genial playmates.
 Slughis stand the English climate well and have been most successfully bred in that country. They are lively outdoor companions and to those who would like to exercise their sporting in- stincts would give good sport with rabbits or hares.
 Sir Henry Layard, writing of his travels in the east, mentions two dogs that he had of this celebrated breed. and adds, with their silky ears and feathered tail they look like drawing room dogs" Their color is very at- tractive-either rich gold. pale cream Or white. One of their special charms, the expression of their eyes, is de- scribed in an account of a KhedivaI hawking party as shining with al- most human intelligence

 garding the 2.3O TrOt-PFogramm
 for To-day.
 The third race meeting of this season at the Branford Driving park opened yesterday afternoon before small au- dience in the grandstand and groups of horse fanciers in other parts of the beautiful park, who were enjoying an afternoon outing. As usual at the Bran ford races during pleasant weather, the grandstand contained many attractive women and young ladies, some of them with escorts and many of them in cou- ples without escorts or chaperones. The special train from this city at Ills runs direct to the park gates and returns after the races.
 When the horses came out to start in the first event of the day number of good race horses were noticed, among them being Miss Austin winner of a recent race of seven heats; c. o. D., the remarkably well-brwed chestnut pacer that has had several of his best races this year, and others named in the table below.
 The first and second heats were won by the two pacers mentioned, in the order as stated above. In the third heat Harry Brusie with c. o. D. had the pole when the field of horses got the word "Go!" to remarkably bad send off, which resulted in winning heat for the mare.
 The fourth heat went to c. o. D., and Trainer Brusie was extensively conph- mented for skilful driving during the entire race Miss Austin won the final heat. Summary:

DAY FOR DIX HANGING.
GaIIows Ready, But Murderer of Mo-
 torman Is Not Here.

, The gallows is ready at the Jail yard and the sheriff no doubt would be willing to pull the trap but the cage Is still empty and Dix is gone.
 Robert L. Dix, the negro murderer of Bert l.. Pessnel, a motorman of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany, will not hang today-the day set for his execution Since the escape from the county jail some weeks ago many rumors as to Dix's capture have been afloat, all of which upon examination have disappeared into thin air. Yester day Sheriff Burgln received slegram from Morrisville, Pa, stating that negro had been captured there who in every particular answered the description of Robert l.. Dix. In his reply the sheriff asked that the authorities either forward a photograph of the negro in question or else that they have him sent here at once. Nothing further was heard yester- day.
 There Is a possibility, the sheriff said, that upon receipt of his message yester- day morning about 10 o'clock the negro was started for Birmingham, in which case the genuine Dix may arrive not too late today to fill his final engagement with the sheriff. However, 1t Is thought to be more probable that the picture instead of Dix will come; the shadow only maybe and not the substance.
