Offer More Valuable Prizes
Than Last Year.
COMMITTEE is NAMED
TO CARRY ON WORK

Place Found Where Rubbish
Can Be Dumped.

Recent meetings of tho Civic Improve

that even the city with the celestial
name can profit by a thorough securing
Last year the league did yeoman scr

aging the citizens 70 clean and beautify
their lawuG. Some worked for glory and
good reputc. while others were inspired
with the hope of receiving cash compen-
sation. for the league offered cash prizes
for the neatest and prettiest lawns and
yards. This spring the same plans will
he pursued but the prizes will be more
valuable. \ considerable sum has already
been secured, thanks to the enterprise OF
public spirited citizens. and doubtless
others VIII respond later.
Naturally, the greatest amount OF work
will have 10 be done before Arbor day:
for the city must be dressed In her neat-
est attire on that day, and the garment
must remain immaculate during the re-
mander of the summer. President Frank
b. stephens of the league has appointed
the following 10 serve on committees and

Arbor day by the school children; George

Quigey, to serve az committee on
parks.
One of the problems which always con-
fronts the citizens is that Of finding a
place 10 dump the rubbish which they
remove from the yards. Last year the
league secured permission To dump the
garbage on The streets and the city hired
extra garbage wagons to assist in the
cleaning up campaign, The committee
will petition the Mayor for the same
privilege and service this year. The
league will also try TO induce the bust
ness houses 10 declare a half holiday on
Arbor dav. so that their employees may
take part in the campaign.

pointed a committee that Will inspect the

why will 50 many people cling to
the idea that chlOroformng is the most
merciful means Of death possible for
dumb animals?' asked a Bronx veteri-
marian recently. only the other day /
was called upon to perform the trying
and almost impossible task of killing
an old horse in this way.
"The horse, it seems, had been the pet
of a wealthy woman who left provision
for him in her will, and decreed that
if ever the family to whose care she
intrusted him should deem it necessary
to end his life, this should be done with
chlOroform, 50 that he might be assured
a painless death. This year the horse
became blind and otherwise disabled,
and the family decided that death
would be a mercy.
"Of course, the provision of the will
had to be carried out, but no greater
case of mistaken kindness could have
been possible. 1t is impossible to ad-
minister sufficient chloroform at one
time to kill an animal the size Of a
horse, so dose after dose had to be
given, the poor brute slowly and pain
fully smothering to death.
"Chloroform is all right for cats or
dogs, but for larger animals it is a posi-
tive cruelty; whereas pistol, we'll
