HEALTH BOARD SUPINE.

At the Health Department IL was said that
keepers OF dogs showed great lack of consid-
Grafton for neighbors The law against dogs
is severe. but is not enforced. The law is
really not against dogs as dogs. but against
the owners who permit them TO be at large and
to make a noise. In an apartment house uptown.
in which there is court. servants will release
dogs early in the morning into this court. and
the scene is much like that at a kennel show
noise. general nuisance and all. If there are
invalids in the apartments the owners OF thu
dogs show no consideration Persons may
wish to sleep late but the dogs Will upset the
best laid plans for rest. As stated, much
trouble is involved in abating this form of
nuisance that few and far between are the
efforts. Appeals 20 owners OF dogs, singular
lover of q dog his particular canine seems per-
fectly unObiectiOuable. The complainant is
looked upon dog hater, crank, al
most anything but n reasonable person
The Sanitary Code has 4 provision which
should bear on this nuisance with telling effect.
II is Section 1885, which says: mo person own
ing. occupying or having charge of any build
ing or premises shall keep allow thereon
therein. any animal or bird. which shall by
noise disturb the quiet or repOse of any per-
therein in the vicinity, to the detriment
OF the life health of any human being"
The Invocation of this act should be easy, but
the Health Board ignores it, and the complain
ing person must prove, when civil suit is brought.
that his health has been affected by the barking
dog or sCreeching bird or that his life has
been endangered through the noise. Those who
have made complaints ana have failed to get
relief feel that the situation is WelniGh helpless
unless the Health Department makes some rad
zeal ruling free from techniCalitias, and making
abatement possible without recourse 10 the
courts. Nine times out Of ten a simple warning
from the Health Board would be all that was
necessary.

hadn't paid his fare. The stout man
was of the contrary opinion.
They exchanged harsh words over
the matter.
Il gave you nickel when I got
aboard" said the stout man.
II haven't taken in a nickel on this
trip" said the conductor.
The stout man grew very red. HIS
hair seemed to bristle
That's just enough of this" he
growled. II don't want to have any
trouble with you. had trouble with
a conductor once. I'd hate to tell you
what happened"
The conductor drew back a little
and made no further attempt to col
lect the stout mans fare.
But when the stout man was about
to alight from the car at the Penn
sylvania crossing the conductors Gu
riosity was too much for him.
Say he asked, what happened
when you had that trouble with the
other conductor?"
The stout man looked back.
Il was in the hospital six weeks, "
he mildly answered. = Cleveland

Girl Celebrated For Her Mind Read

Lancaster. Especially Elsie Miller

is known on the vaudeville stage was
returned to her home in this city by
the police authorities, and her re-
turn was accompanied by one of the
most daring escapes of prisoner
ever recorded in local criminal an
nails.
For several seasons the girl, a
child in years, had been taken over
the country and featured In mind
reading act in all the principal
vaudeville houses. Her manager was
II. r. Parker, and the pair we're un-
usually successful. Recently the
girls parents decided to recall her,
but Parker, 1t is alleged. enticed her
away from her home.
Warrants we're issued for his ar
rest and he was finally taken into
custody at Hanover. He was brought
here and taken to police headquar-
ters. Prior to his intended removal
to the county Jail Parker asked per-
mission to send a telegram. While
talking to a messenger boy In a pri-
vate room and surrounded by OFF,

little of it until a day or two ago,
when sores broke out on her arm

DREAM SAVED TRAIN.
Engineer Saw Landslide In A Vision
And Ran Slow.

Harrisburg Especially Confidence
In a dream probably averted a big
wreck on the Northern Central Rail-
road.
Previous to reporting for duty at
the roundhouse Tuesday night, En-
gineer James Burd, who hauls the
Buffalo flyer leaving Harrisburg at
11.10 P. M. dreamed that his train
had run into a landslide at point
between Dauphln and Halifax. He
told his dream to several roundhouse
attaches, but they laughed at him
Engineer Burd, to ease his mind,
determined to run very slowly be-
tween Dauphin and Halifax So
speeding his train to the limit till
Dauphin was passed, Burd then slow
ed up. And 1t was we'll he did. for
at a point some distance north of
DauPAin, identical with the place
he had seen in his dream, the en-
gine ploughed into a landslide. Go
ing slowly, the engineer was able to
bring his train to a stop with little
or no damage.
