Next tuesday at noon, the board of
works will hold special meeting for
ithe purpose of opening bids for the
construction of thirty or more miles
of sidewalk in the city of Pensacola.
The city is sure to get a very rea-
sonable bid on the walks now, as the
inquiries as to particulars regarding
their construction have been asked
from many sources. Local bids will
pc handed in. The board will select
the bid which it considers the fairest
and carry such recommendation to
the council for approval.
A committee from the board of safe
~ yesterday about closed a deal with
Roy Taylor for two very large horses,
to be used in the patrol wagon. The
committee consisted of two members
Of the board and the chief of police.
Fire department horses will wear a
new style of shoe hereafter, since the
streets have been paved The shoes
have what is termed toe" by
shoers, a point extending from the
lower front of the shoe, to keep the
foot from slipping on the pavement.
The new shoes cannot be placed on
stock for less than $3.50, which is
. fifty cents more than the city has
been paying in the past. The budget
allowed 81 per month for each horse,
but the new price will eat deeply iu-
| to the amount appropriated.

A VERSATILE PREACHER

The Rev. F. c. Macfarlane,
formerly of Alameda, and now re-
visiting San Francisco, bears a

loch. some time mayor OF San

farlane some years ago when he
was conducting a somewhat spec
tacular crusade against gambling
in Alameda. He did not content
himself with the inefficient thun-
der of the pulpit, but frequented
the police courts and stirred up
the newspapers. He won.
Doctor Macfarlane is hand
some man and was formerly an
actor, though not conspicuously
successful on the boards. | be-

WHEN THE PLAGUE RACED.
Cat and Dog Laws In England In the
Sixteenth Century.

laws =" @hS'att0 III tflC
Sixteenth Century.
Disease and the dog were believed
to walk together in the sixteenth cen
tury. The terrier then was as much
a suspect as the rat today. In plague
times he had only to venture into the
street to court death. Here Is an Or
der issued by the authorities at Win
chester in 1888, which is typical of the
rest: THAT if any house within this
cytie shall happen to be infected with
the Plague, that theme every persone
to keepe within his or her house every
to goo at large. And if any dogge be
then founde at large it shall be lawful
for the Beadle or any other person to
kill the same dogg and that any owner
of such dogg going at large shall lose
6 shillings."
Among the records of Kings Lynn,
under May, 1856, appeared this: For
as muche as 1t hath pleased Allmightie
God to begynn to send us his vista
cion with sickness amongst us and
that dogges and Gates are thought
yerie unfit to be suffered In this tyne.
Therefore, Mr.. Major, aldermen and
common council have ordered and
decreed that every inhabitant within
the same Town shall forthwith take
all their dogges and yappes and hange
them or kill them and carrye them to
som out place and burye them for
breadinge of great annoyance.
And likewise for Gates, If there be

AN EQUINE JOKER.
Sculptor Wards Model, Lex, Seemed 10
Have q Sense Of Humor,

FHNS n 1ensG OF numOF,
The late-I Q. "A. Ward, the sculptor,
found great diversion In watching the
tricks and peculiaritles of the horses
which served as models for some of
his equine statues. He made friends
with them all, and he w"s a good
friend to them.
'"The only horse humorist that /
have had experience WITH" Mr.. Ward
is quoted as saying, twas of thor
Oughbred blood, and he was a real
Joker. That was Lex, q horse of the
blood of the immortal Lexington.
LEX was of a splendid type. He
stood for me for much Of my early
work. Somehow he discovered that a
table or which l worked was easily
shaken. 1t was a board on trestles so
arranged that the position Of the board
might be altered to almost any angle.
When Lex saw I was busiest he would
slide slowly and silently to the side
Of the table and turn his head to have,
a good look at me as he jostled the
table with his shoulder or hip. 1t
was amusing at first, but 1t sometimes
hampered me, and l thought l would
try a Joke In return.
Lex had a place at the table that
he invariably approached, and when
he struck 1t always leaned on the same
corner. Lex was not conscious when
I placed my compass, with the point
ed ends out, barely half an inch ex-
tending over the edge Of the table,
and braced the other end against a
weight.
IL had not long to wait before Lex
gently came up, and I thought I could
see mischief In his eye. He took his
usual place, and then when I pretend
ed to be very busy he pushed the table
In his usual manner, pricked his Shout
der on the points and jumped back
with a snort. He looked long and
hard at me, but took his place Of duty.
The Joke was against him that time"
