Coyote Torn to Bits.

The Green Spring Valley Hunt club,
winch is to Baltimore what the
Meadow Brook Hunt is to New York.
found itself yesterday in serious diff
Guilty with the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, and the an
nouncement was made by the secretary
OF the latter organization that here
after an officer of the society will
watch over the meets of the fashion,
able men and women devoted to the
chase.
What was meant to be a realistic
wolf hunt, with a brother of the wolf,
coyote. as the quarry, but what
turned out to be a revolving scene of
a wild animal torn to pieces before
huntsmen and huntswomen by pack
or angry dogs, aroused the wrath of
the local branch of the S. P. c. A.
Redmond c. Stewart, master of
hounds of the Green Spring Valley
Hunt, came into possession of the coy
ote, which was shipped here from the
West, but not claimed. The tame
weekly drags had become something
of a bore, so the NJ. F. H. announced
the wolf hunt, and yesterday there was
a full attendance.
The coyote was released and ap-
peared bewildered. The huntsmen be-
lieved he would make for cover at the
sight of the hounds, and the pack
charged him. Instead, the coyote
turned at bay, was set upon by the
pack and torn to bits.
81 had never supposed it possible
that body, presumably composed of
civilized men and women, would re-
quire watching" declared Secretary
Diedeman of the S. P c A
after the disgraceful performance
reported to have transpired in the
Green Spring Valley yesterday, how
ever, it will be the duty of the soci-
ETY. to turn it's whole attention toward
that locality in the future"
Miss Mary B. Shearer president of
the Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals, characterized the in
cident as a "shockingly uncivilized
performance" but preferred that any
discussion of the matter should come
from the official secretary of the soci-
ety.-New York American.

CHRISTIANITY AS A FORCE.
The Turkish statisticians have it
Figured out that there are more Mo-
hammedans in the world than Chris
tians.
Which merely shows that Moham-
mechanism does not amount to much.
Outside of Turkey they are nearly all
ruled by Christian governments. There
are 100000 in India. subjects of
King Edward The balance of several
hundred millions are scattered through
Asia and Africa and are either wild
tribesmen or are the political prop
erty of European Christian nations.
Even Turkey, the one Mohammedan
country of Importance, is one kept in
tact by the tolerance of its Christian
neighbors, and is sure to disappear
from the map before many years have
passed.
The Christian religion is a political
force. 1t is aggressive, progressive and
advancing. The Mohammedan reli-
gion, an imitation, was pushed extern
sive1y in the middle ages with fire and
sword. but it has never carried the
standard of civilization or made peo-
pie better or happier Nobody cares
what the Mohammedan people think
or do. The Christian nations rule the
world.-Hutchinson News.
MOVING PICTURES AND CONVICTS
The moving pictures proposed for

line. It is no more than fair that
convicts be kept in touch with the
world and know what is going on.
Moving pictures give the worlds his

more a prisoner is kept in touch with
the outside world the more he will
see the folly of doing things that pre-
vent his being a part of that world.
It will cause a restlessness with crime
and make for better conditions-Law-
