THREE IN THIS PORT.

Three gcntlewomcn hold the place OF snip s
rlatron for the port of New York, and the same
work is done by others in Philadelphia 1t is
planned that ships matrons will eventually be
installed at every port So effectual has been the
work accomplished by those in service and so
thoroughly has the need for them been demon
strated.
Among the thrOng at the pier they seek out
the relatives and friends of second class pas
sengers and send or take them II those aWaltlhs
them on the ship So expert have they become
in this work that they seem TO be able % tell
IN a moment just who await friends in the Sec
ond class cabin and also TO divine any decep-
tions attempted upon their credulity-
Sometimes persons the pier take advantage
of the opportunity afforded relatives OF second
class passengers for going on board snip Whel
they wish to get al somebody who has come over
third class one man who managed TO get on
board bv having a ships matron take him TO
meet a brother whom she assured him she had
not seen in the second class cabin. is sorry no"
that he did not tell the truth. The inspector
told hirn-as he expected-that no such person
as his brother had come over second class In
the waiting crowd he was able to slip down 10
the third class cabin and. after long search, to
which various stewards objected. he found his
brother This was merely the beginning of his
adventures steward ordered him out Of the
third class. Where's your landing card? You
are not a passenger" said he.
When he wanted TO diSembaTk: where's your

A rather peculiar case has just been reported as having happened near Co., Iumbus some two weeks ago. It seems that q gentleman driving into the city, on three different occasions met an auto driven at high speed and each time his horse was badly frightened. Acting on the old rule-"three tips and out'-when the thing happened the third time he drew a revolver and fired at the auto and brought man and ma chine to a dead stop Then he told the driver that if he frightened his horse again he would shoot to kill" At last accounts he had not again been disturbed.

The striking telegraphers seem to be injecting a political question into their struggle with the telegraph companies. Just at this time they ought to be sat isAed with asking contributions to enable them to keep tip their fight, but the call is also made for funds for car carrying on a contest for government control of all telegraph lines. This lat ter is a political matter. and ought not to be mixed up with the demands made on the companies by their late em- ployes People will be apt to think that there is an effort to take advan- tage of sympathy for men out of em- ployment and obtain money for influ- encing legislation at Washington.

TUESDAY. AUGUST 27, 1907.

MT. Taft is vigorously opposing the admission of Oklahoma and appealing in Kentucky for the negro vote. These are two propositions not likely to win him any favor with Democrats in the South. If ordered from headquarters the Alabama Republican machine. if it can have its way. will no doubt cast the states delegation in national con- vention for his nomination. and it is delegate votes that Mfr. Taft is after at present. Mir. Roosevelt before he became President was violently op- posed to cabinet officers making politi- cal speeches and going on political elec- tioneering tours. He has revised his opinion on many civil service proposi- tions since he became President. and the revision has been for worse, in- stead of better conditions.

rIcruREs THAT TALK.

Pictures talk. we have heard. and if that is true Homer Davenports pen- cil has a wonderful command of lan- guage. We hear much of late about cruelty to animals, and a great deal is being done to better their conditions and to punish those who gre guilty of cruelty to dumb brutes. but nothing that has been said or written on this subject tells of animal suffering in so graphic manner as do Davenports pictures. For quite while now he has been drawing cartoons--if one may so designate picture that is true to life-in which he shows by contrast the condition of q horse or other domestic animal in its natural condition and another as 1t appears when man has worked his will on him. Che of his latest drawings shows a horse with. flowing nnane and tail contentedly feeding in rich pasture, while near by. under the shade of tree, stands another with docked tail and ns mane. surrounded by insects which it is pow erless to drive away. Every part of the animal shows the agony. he is en- during and the story of this tortured animal is thus told:
 There were other horses in the pas ture that were having real comfort in the clover. But under a tree. stamp ing his feet, snapping his teeth, catch ing his breath at times and snorting as he kicked. stood the docked horse, frantically trying to rid himself of flies that were sapping his life. Un- der this tree he fought like mad all day. Sometimes he ran odt into the open in his agony, but there was no till after dark this continued, so that the only grass the poor beast got was eaten at night, while the other horses slept. Deprived of sleep, unable to eat enough at night to offset the loss by of a living hell became wreck of skin, bones and shattered nerves. All this because the fashionable set would pay $50 more for him with his tail or than with 1t on.
 How often, both on the farms and in the cities. do we see something like an animated copy of this drawing. In both city and country domestic ami malls are tortured without thought of their sufferinEs. This is especially true of horses, which are doeksd. checked. de-maned and otherwise cruei- ly punished to gratify some fad or fancy which takes no thought of any thing but the carrying out of a fash ion or an altogether mistaken concep- tion of beauty and grace. We firmly believe that unnecessary cruelty to animals is sin in the sight of God and humanity. and those who can pre- vent it are doing a noble work. Hu- man beings are not the only ones who can be made to suffer from human cruelty. and those who are exertins themselves to protect the dumb brutes are getting a world of valuable aid from the pencil of Homer Davenport.
