WITHDRAWS SERVICE.
Western Union Declines to Give Wire
Accommodation in Ten Cities.

New York, July 7.-Without ex
planation and without warning the
Western Union Telegraph Company
discontinued it's service to-day to
brokers in 10 cities of this State and
Pennsylvania. The cities affected are
Pittsburg and Johnstown, Pa, and
Syracuse, Ithaca, Rome, Utict, Glov-
ersville, Auburn, Watertown and
Cortland of this State.
Executive officers of the company
took the stand to-day that under ad-
vice of counsel they could not dis
cuss the company's policies. Officers
of the New York stock exchange deny
that the cut off of service was in any
way instigated by them or that they
had any knowledge of it. Officers

tonight. There are many subter-
ranean rumors that the company
was acting on the advice of some one
in Washington, supposed to be ver$'
close to the policy of the attorney
generals office, but this could not be
confirmed.
Hitherto the Western Union has
always taken the stand that as a
common carrier it had no right to
refuse any business offered it, provid-
ed such business is couched in de-
cent language. In fact, the company
argued earnestly that any attempt
by it to investigate the private affairs
of it's customers would be inqusito-
rial and intolerable..

THE DOGS HINT.

From the New York Times.
There is a man OF large wealth who
has generous suite of Offices in one OF

furnished handsomely. even Iuxuriously.
with soft leather-upholstered lounges
and armchairs, but his private office
would pass for a cell I'm a monastery. 1t

and an extra chair. very plain, with a
hard seat.
Il hit on this after years of sad expert
ence i'm time wasted for me by my
friends he said. When / kept my pri-
vate office luxuriously furnished, friends
who were on intimate enough terms with
me TO drop in without knock would
come in. sprawl themselves out i'm an
easy chair. light cigar. and make them
selves as comfortable as though in their
club. Like as not. one of them would
start in spinning an interminable yarn.
OF course ! couldn't order them out: SO
had to stand IL and lose countless
hours of valuable time.
Last month. when I was down on a
farm for the children's vacation. l noticed
an old dog that always lay on a piece of
carpet right in the way of the farmer
wife. One day she stumbled over him;
then she took up the carpet and placed ii
out on the back porch. The deg went out
and contentedly reposed himself there.
: III just move my carpet out In my
front offices, ! said to myself. When 1

charm Nv friends dropped into my
Office, gazed around with a startled look
and dropped out again. never to return

nobody whose business isn't Of sufficient
importance TO make that hard-bottomed
chair feel comfortable will unduiy linger

COYOTES IN CITY PARK.
In the Golden Gate They Prey Upon
Fowl and Small Game.

FROM the San francisco Call.
A pack Of about six coyotes is running
wild in Golden Gate Park. causing a reign
of terror among the wild fowl and rabbits
and occasionally frightening late stray
glers along the park roads. The leader
Of the band is big male which Police
man Charles Budd. specially detailed from
the park police station to hunt the
enemies of duck and other feathered In
habitants OF the park. declares to be
the largest he has ever seen.
At night the coyotes slip down into the
park from Sutro forest or from the thick
ly wooded slopes Of the Preside and
make full meal OF ducks, peacocks or
rabbits. all of which have become quite
tame through not being hunted or chased
About month ago 1t was first known
there was coyote at large. That was
when one fell before the rifle OF Budd.
Three days later william Miller. the
Waterman employed by the park board
to look out for hawks, bagged a second.
Every few days since persons leaving
the park toward sunset have reported see
ing the coyotes and especially the big
leader. Once a workman told a mounted
officer OF having seen a great wolf speed
ing through the bushes and trees along
the new panhandle. The officer a few
minutes later was i'm the neighborhood of
the new road and saw what the workman
had described as wolf" but which he
Immediately recognized as the coyote

and slipped into the shrubbery.
For some time past the wild ducks have
risen In great fOcks from the shores
around Stow lake i'm the dead Of night, but
it was believed this was due to the APP
pearance OF a big barn owl. which fell
before Policeman Budds gun three days

Friday night a man walking near the
lake was attracted by the futter of wings

path. 1t may be necessary to make

advantages of a country school and q

is located far out on Wisconsin avenue,
on one OF the highest points in the Dis
trict OF Columbia.
After the daily sessions i'm the big /
street institution the pupils may journey
to their own country club for recreation
and pleasure. and the new athletic field
offers rare opportunity for the boys to
get into training for autumn and winter
sports. The clubhouse and grounds may
be reached in twenty to twenty-five min
utes from the main school buildings.

NEW FEATURES PLANNED

SCHOOL m COMING TERN.
Commercial Course to Be Offered.
Boarding Department Ready
for Opening.

The Hall-Noyes School, at 221 E street
northwest. has planned several new fea-
lures for the coming term. which will
begin the latter part OF September. These
include two commercial courses, either
bookkeeping or stenography, combined
with arithmetic. rapid calculation, Eng
lish. business letter writing and CONNER
cial law. Also Frances Mann Hall. the
principal Of the school, has announced
the opening of a new boarding depart
ment. Ten young ladies will be received
as members of the principals family and
at her own table.
The Hall-Noyes School. being located at
221 street, Is easily accessible from all
parts OF the city and suburbs, being
near the business center. one and one
half blocks from the Metropolitan rail-
way. three from the Capital Traction
line, and within easy walking distance
from the Capitol. the Library OF Congress,
all the great government buildings and
the Union station. 1t Is the only non
sectarian school in that part OF the city.
and Is particularly accessible from Cap
itol Hill.
Students Prepared for College.
While anording special and partial
courses TO those desiring them, this insti-
tuition Is designed primarily as day and
night school, fitting for any OF the lead
ing colleges and universities, several or
which receive it's graduates upon certih-
Gates. The school has outlined its courses
so as to lead to this goal, SO far as the
requirements OF the various higher insti-
tutions coincide.
The membership of this school. now en-
tering upon its sixth year, Is still small
enough to secure TO each pupil an amount
of individual instruction, sympathy and
guidance, absolutely impossible in large
institutions, whether public or private.

ing between teachers and students reduce
