and spectators in the more important dog
and cat shows Of recent years, there is an
increasing fondness for pet stock among
people who might naturally be expected
TO have their time too fully occupied to
devote much attention To such animated
playthings. An even more interesting ev-
idence of the trend of the times is found
i'll the disposition of many wealthy men
to specialize in the possession and breed
ing of certain favorite branches of the
canine family For instance. the especial
weakness of j. Pierpont Morgan. next to
his mania for art treasures, is a love of
FLOODED Scotch colies. and the financier
has paid thousands of dollars apiece for
prize winning specimens of these splendid
dogs Similarly. the Gould kennels have
sheltered the most costly and most val
liable community of rougl1-coated and
smooth-coated st. Bernards ever brought
together
Whereas this ambition for the ownership
OF great numbers of pets of favored
class is comparatively new development
the possession of cherished pets by prom
inent men and women is anything but an
innovation. Regretably. history bestows
but scant attention upon the dumb an

stance. the record of the hub of American
officialdom. and it is found that there has
been almost no interval when the White
House did not shelter one or more house
hold pets. Probably no occupant of the
presidential mansion manifested greater
fondness for pets than the popular Mrs.
Grover Cleveland. A familiar sight dur
ing the Cleveland administration was that
of the mistress of the White House
romping on the lawn with her children
and magnificent st. Bernard dog. This
dog was the gift Of the late George w.
Childs, and long had the reputation Of
being the handsomest American specimen
of his breed
Perhaps the greatest vogue Of the
household pet in the White House was
enjoyed during the Roosevelt administra-
ton. There was large family Of chill
dren and each member Of the oOterie had
his own special playfellow. There were
some novelties. such as mice and guinea
pigs, and the famous parrot belonging to
Theodore, jr., but for the most part the
Roosevelt taste ran to dogs. and more
than a dozen different CANNES had place
in the family affections during the seven
year tenancy of the White House. The

Women in Japan are becoming more
and more advocates for the higher edu-
catiln Of their sex. The movement to-

which will not permit a backward trend.
The inception of the movement may be
counted from 1871, when a number of
young girls from good families We're sent
to the United States and placed in the
best institutions for the higher learning
then available. OF these girls one is
now the wife of Marshal Baron Oyama
and another married the we'll known hero
of the late war. Admiral Uriu. We have
a WOmans university in Toxic. which
has over IA thousand students. and every
opportunity is given women to prepare

 Each contract calls for main building 50 by 120 feet, with two dor mitories and a kitchen and dining room. The main buildings are to be three-s;ory brick structures.
 The contract for the Magnolia school was let on bid of s45,S00, to the Stewart McGehee construction concern. The other bidders were as follows: Hartman Construction Com pany, St. Louis, s50062; E. c. Rose Pine Bluff, s50,525; Loftus- Colla- more. Little Rock, s5O,ooo; J. D. Brock, Hot Springs, s4o,46S; S. M Apple, Little Rock, s46,760.
 The contract for the school at Monticello was let on an original bid of $44,100. There were four other bidders. their bids ranging as high as $5500o.
 A change was made in the original plans of the Monticello schools, how ever, practically doubling the capa- city of the dormitories so that about 30 boys and 60 girls will be accom- modated, instead of 45 boys and SC girls, as at first planned This will add somewhat to the amount of the ,, original bid.
 Both buildings are to be completed and turned over to the school boards by December l. It is the intention oi the boards to start the schools Octo- Der 1, it being their belief that the buildings will be far enough along to provide temporary quarters.

Little Rock, June 1.-The old Beth el A. M. D. church, at Ninth and Broadway, has been torn down and the work of demolition is about com pleted. It was large structure and has stood for forty years as the leading negro church in Little Rock of that denomination.

The new building will be of pressed brick with stone trimmings and i; will cas- fly be among the finest negro church. es in the South and for that matter among the finest of any sort. The negroes of the Methodist church in Little Rock are erecting this building because they are strong financially and able to build it. The officers of the church held a meeting last night. and among them they rais- ed $7,OO0 to start the work. It is thought it will be no trouble to raise the full $50,000.
 l. scipio A.

 When he resigned from the Treas ury the national credit was upon a firm basis, and in every direction prosperity was manifested. He re- sumed the practice of law, and in a few months his practice was upon the old basis. In his profession he was accounted to be the best lawyer in New York He seldom if ever lost a case, and his success in win hing cases was so great that it was the popular belief that neither judge or iurynan could stand out against his pleading. It was considered certain success for plaintiff or de- fendant to be able to retain AleXan- der Hamilton.
 This success followed him also in- to political life and led to his own undoile. For a great man makes strong enemies, just as he creates faithful followers and Alexander Hamilton was the object alike of the deepest admiration and the most bit ter hatred.
