DOG CATCHERS BUSY.
Poundmaster Submits Annual Re
port to Commissioners.


The dog catchers must have been a
busy lot the past year, according to the
annual report to the Commissioners of
Samuel Einstein, superintendent of the
District dog pound. The report is headed
by a summary showing that during the
fiscal year ended June 30 last 20 horses, 2
mules, cows, 1885 dogs and 1878 cats. a
total of 1881 animals, were impounded.
During the past year 10,224 dogs were
licensed and very large number were
not licensed. The poundmaster says the
figures show that at all times there are
probably more than 1900 dogs in this
city. He explained that because of the
great number of dogs it is an impossi-
bility for the existing pound service,
operating only one wagon, to prevent the
dog population from increasing.
Poundmaster Einstein gave another
reason why the pound service should be
increased the fact that an unusual large
number of requests were made last year
for the removal of cats. The revenue
from the dog pound service has averaged
$4,000 annually since 1873. when the dog
law was enacted, it is explained, and the
poundmaster recommends that the service
be increased.

ING-7O3 FEET IN THE AIR.

NEW YORK, October IA new record
for steeplejacking was made this week
when Ernest Cappelle climbed up the
Flagstaff Of the Singer building tower
and clamped gilded globe to the top of
the staff, 703 feet above the ground.
Thousands of people along Broadway and
other downtown streets stopped to watch
the daring little man as he made the
perilous ascent. while thousands more
viewed the novel sight from the windows
OF the big Office buildings in the vicinity.
Cappelle made his appearance on top
of the tower accompanied by an assistant,
who remained at the base Of the Flagstaff.
With the assistance Of a rope which dam
gled from a pulley. at the top of the staff
Cappelle began the climb, and after sew
eral attempts finally reached the top
about an hour later. The staff is 96 feet Z

Excited Fears Among Watchers.
Working at the dizzy height Cappelle
pasted gold leaf on the globe until the
watching crowd below could see it glis-
tening in the bright sunlight.
Occasionally Cappelle swayed to and

the thousands of watchers that he would
fall. Cappelle remained at the top of
the pole for about an hour. sitting in a

An east wind was blowing but appar-

worked his way slowly down the staff.

gliding Of the ball and the application of

The Twin Towns.


The twin towns Ishpeming and Negau-

tirely dependent upon the mines. which
give employment to about 5000 hands and
they represent the best conditions. / am
told, of any mining district In the United
states, except, perhaps, at Calumet The
miners are prosperous; their wages aver
age % day and ordinary laborers aver
age S23O. The miners very largely own
their homes and have deposits In the saw
lngs banks. The Cleveland-Cliffs COM
pany encourages them to build, because 1t
gives them an interest In the town and
makes them more contented. The company
gives prizes to Its employees who show the
neatest and best gardens and furnishes
them plants and seeds for ornamental pur-
poses. There is an association for accI-
dent insurance with about 1900 members
who pay dues of 30 cents month and the
company pays an equal amount into the
treasury. In case they are disabled mar
ried men receive $25 month and unmar-
rled men $50 for not exceeding one wear
and In case of death by accident the fam
lily of a member receives $500 A general
hospital Is supported jointly by the COM
pany and the men. The latter pay 81 q
month, which entities them and their fam
lilies to free medicine and attendance
There are no unions here. The Cleye-

deals directly with its men as individuals

Many Mountain Home people

kidneys are responsible for a vast

but there is no need TO suffer nor
to remain in danger when all dis
escs and aches and pains due to
weak kidneys can be quickly and
permanently cured by the use Of
Doan's Kidney Pills.

Some three months ago a pain
caught me in the small of my back.
/ was not certain at first as TO its
cause but it grew worse as time
went by. AS l noticed it particu-
larly in the morning or when I
overworked myself, l came to the
conclusion that it was due to some
ir~regularity of the kidneys. Mr..

The parish priest of Labourgade, in

earned reputation for his jams and

workmen. The parish priest of La
Ponnonie is turner, another in Aver
don in the Loire ct Cher, mends bicy-
cles and sewing machines. The par
ish priests of Mayet de Montague, in
the Allier, and of Serriera, in Corsica,
manufacture acetylene lamps, and the
priest who ofticiates in the parish
church of Marriages. in the Mouse, is
a working locksmith. One of the in.
dustries most generally adopted by
the clergy is that of watch and clock
maker. Seven parish priests are al
ready so employed. The parish priest
of Cavier, in the Gard, is a tailor, and
his colleague in Negron, in the Indre
ct Loire, is an upholsterer. A dozen

Foreign Waterways.

Since We began the neglect and
abandonment of canals France has
quadrupled her waterways. Accord
ing to figures furnished by commercial
associations the British isles have
5000 miles of canal, and it does not
all antedate the railroad. The Man
chester canal was built at a cost of
$75,000,000 to reduce freight rates for
a distance of thirty-ave miles, and,
while it did not prove good interest
bearing investment on such a large
expenditure, its indirect and more per-
manent benefits are said to have war
ranted it. Germany has 5000 miles OF
canal carefully maintained, besides
1000 miles of other waterway. France,
with an area less than we would con-
slider a large state, has 5000 miles OF
canal, and in the northern part, where
the canals are most numerous, the
railways are more prosperous. Eng
land, Germany. France, Holland and
Belgium are all contemplating further
extension and improvement of their
canal systems. Century Magazine

Gold In Walls Of Old Mint.

Blast Furnace Gas,

The amount Of gas generated by a
blast furnace to produce pig iron is
SO enormous that II collected and util
lied for power purposes it would
prove revolutionizing in manufacture
ing industries. Thus to produce in
an ordinary well-equipped works
about $50 tons of pig iron the blast
furnace would generate upward of 2O,-
100000 cubic feet of gas. To harness
this enormous amount of waste fuel
is the aim of the builders of gas en-.
gines. Utilized for generating steam
by burning, about 1,O00-h. p. could be
obtained; but If burnt directly in a
modern large gas engine, the horse
power generated would be several
times as much. Eminent engineers
estimated that even if half this vol.
ume should be wasted or used for
heating the air blast of the furnace,
there would still be sufficient to pro-
duce between 5000 and 1000 horse.
power. Such an enormous gas gen.
orator would thus prove of the great
est value for ordinary manufacturing
purposes. Likewise, the gases of coke
ovens can be utilized in the same
way, adding greatly to the import
ance of the gas engine in its new
field.-Mining World.
