Dogs of Luxury.

The appearance of little dogs as
objects of luxury goes back to the
most ancient times. Documents are
not wanting to show that Greek and
Roman women had pet dogs which
they idolized. Even men, particular
ly among foreigners, were not
ashamed to walk the streets of Rome
with pet dogs under their arms Plu-
tarch relates that Julius Caesar, see
ing one day in Rome some strangers
thus loaded with their dogs. asked
them ironically whether the women
of their country did not bear chill
dren. Tertia, the daughter of Luz
cius Aurelius Paulus, was so fond of
her dog that in the moment of bid
ding farewell to her father, who was
about to leave his country and his
family to wage war against Perseus,
King of Macedonia, she frankly ad-
mitted that the sadness imprinted on
her face was due to the death of her
pet dog Persa.-London Globe.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-To the grave
alarm of the Reservation Commits
sioners and the horror of the people
of both the American and Canadian
cities, Niagara Falls has gained no.
toriety as suicide resort more rap
idly this season than it's fame as a
place of pleasure has grown in years.
Eleven violent deaths since July
have caused the State authorities to
consider seriously what further meas
ures may be adopted to prevent de-
spondent persons throwing them
selves into the fascinating whirlpool
or seeking the enhancing beauties of
the isle-dotted cataract as the scene
for taking their lives by bullet or
poison.
The suicide of Mrs. L. D. Draper,
of Saginaw, Mich, by eluding the
vigilance of the guards and throwing
herself headlong over the rail into
the river above the American Falls,
impressed the growing problem on
Superintendent Perry and the COM
missioners.
The woman's strange actions
caused the guards to suspect that she
was contemplating suicide, and when
she started to cross the bridge to
Goat Island at 7 o'clock a. M, an
officer turned her back, giving as ex-
cuse that the reservation was not yet
open to the public. Other officers
were warned of the woman's peculiar
actions, and she was watched closely,
although none was impressed with
her grim determination to throw her
self into the river.
Throwing off suspicion by hiring a
carriage, she returned to the reserva-
tion after the guards had directed her
toward the city. She concealed her
long black cloak and was able to drive
past the guards without being recog-
nized. Near the rivers edge she told
the driver to stop. Leaving the black
cloak in the seat she started to walk
around toward Prospect Point. Five
officers were within sight, but none
recognized Mrs. Draper as the woman
of the long black cloak until she
started to run toward the protecting
railing. Then an officer shouted to
her and started in pursuit.
He was too late. At point where
the railing is at the cataract's edge
she threw herself headforemost inso
the river and in an instant was car
ried over the precipice. Relatives in
Saginaw telegraphed a reward for
finding of the body, but no sight of it
had been obtained by nightfall
Since July l five persons, three
women and two men, have been seen
in their death plunge, and three other
men, whose suicide was unobserved,
have been found drowned in the
gorge,

"We passed many icebergs coming

GRAIN DUST FIRED BY SUN
Elevator at Richford, VT, ExplOdes
With Fatal Results. \
Property Loss is 100000 ~ Two
Women Walking on the Railroad
Track Among Victims.

Richford, vt - An explosion of
dust and gases in a large grain ele-
vator, jointly owned by the Canadian
Pacific and the Boston and Maine
railroads, in this village, caused the
death of at least thirteen persons,
and it is possible that the death roll
may be still further increased when
careful search of the ruins can be
made. The suns rays caused the ex-
plosion.
OF the victims eleven were men
employed in the elevator. The other
two were women who were walking
on the Canadian Pacific Railroad
near by.
The fire destroyed not only the ele-
vator building, but flour shed also
and seventy-five freight cars, which
could not be removed from the dan
ger zone in time. The property loss
is 100000.
Twenty-one men, all employees of
the elevator, are known to have been
in the building at the time. OF these
all but eleven have been accounted
for. OF the others one body only
was found. 1t was carried by the ex-
plosion 500 yards, and was found in
a field near the roof. The bodies of
this mans companions are supposed
to have been incinerated in the tre-
mendeus heat of the burning grain.
The ten men who are known to
have escaped from the elevator were
all more or less burned, though none
was believed to be in serious condi-
ton All had narrow escapes, and
were obliged to fight their way
through the grain dust, flames and
smoke to the doorway.
