Georaia DOGS and Sheep.

In Georgia 1888 dogs have been
returned this year for taxation at 81
head That means that the state
treasury will receive from this source
$l69, 59S. which All Atlanta newspaper
considers a most remunerative source
of revenue Last year Georgia had
225.OOO sheep of seharing age. What
is the relation between so few sheep
comparatively in state where so
many sheep could be raised worth s.
or ST. apiece at the minimum and so
many dogs producing only 81 each,
even granting that the taxed dogs are

President Searis Thinks Present
Standard OF Butter Fat is
the Best.

Discussing the report that dairy
men of the city met Wednesday night
and discussed the matter of amend
ing the city milk ordinance, Presi-
dent W. Il. Searls. Of the Dairymen's
Association of Newport News. said
yesterday that the association has
held no meeting 10 discuss, this mat
ter and that some of the men who at
tended the rather informal gathering
in East End are not members of the
association.
''The association has never taken
any action on the milk test nor has
il considered whether it is too high
OF too low" declared Mr.. Searis.
For my part | think three per cent.
of butter fat is good standard and
anything under that ] don't think is
good milk. Personally | believe the
Babcock tester is the most reliable
tester in existence today. And | con-
slider Mr. Harris test alright and /

THE CITY PRACTICALLY WITH
OUT A COUNCIL.

Newport News practically is with
out a city council this morning De
cause four of the eight members OF
the board of aldermen failed to attend
the meeting for organization which,
according TO law, should have been
held last night. The common council
met and effected an organization, but
as the action of one branch on the
SIMPLEST matter of business cannot
become effective until it has been
concurred in by the other branch, the
legislative body which, through its
committees performs various execu-
tive functions and supervises the CON
duct of nearly all of the city's anairs,
is unorganlzed and practically does
not exist.
This is deplorable situation. The
city's business fares badly enough at
hest under our loose -jointed system
or municipal government. Even when
the two branches of the council ana
their committees meet regularly II IS
well nigh impossible 10 operate the
municipality In a systematic, business
like way. and this makes IL all the
more important that the men elected
10 the council attend to their duties
regularly. Yet, when there has not
been meeting OF the council in near
Nv two months and the old organiza-
ton with its committees has passed
out of existence. the board fails 10
organize as the law requires.
II was openly charged on the hoor
of the council chamber last night
that three of the four absent alder
men deliberately absented themselves
from the hall because they knew
they were beaten" The speaker,
Hunter X. Grimes, the newly elected
alderman from the Third ward. meant
that Clarence G. helms. of the First
ward. who is candidate for the
presidency. and T. S. Weston and j.
w Jackson. of the Second ward. had
no; attended because II. was apparent
that Mr.. helms could not command
majority of the votes. c. ID. West
the fourth absentee, is i'll with ~
phoid fever and. of course. could no'
be present.
Whatever may have been the pur'
pose OF the three members in staying
away from the meeting, there seems
to be no doubt about the fact that
all OF them were in the city yester
day and that not one OF them was
Unavoidably detained at home OF
elsewhere last night. And this paper
thinks they displayed extremely bad
taste and failed in their duty as rep
resentaiives of the people in thus de
nherately delaying the organization
The question ROW is. how long dc
the three members propose 70 make
IL impossible for the council TO or
ganize and take up the ciiy's bust
ness? Perhaps they contemplate
waiting until Mr.. West is able {,
leave the hospital and attend a meet
ing Of the board. This prcbabll
means a month. Mr.. West is one o
the most valuable members of tn
council. but surely his presence a; al

fiai as 10 warrant an indefinite della

Photography For Women.

Photography as a work for women
was brought into prominence recently
when the national photographers held
their convention in Cleveland. A hum
dred or more women had prints on ex-
hibition which were Of high grade.
Miss Lena McCauley, art critic. In an
address on photography as the art Of
the hour, spoke with enthusiasm Of it
as a work for women She said in part:
photography is the living art, the
art Of the hour, the art Of today. 1t is
the latest child Of the pictorial arts
and the art most concerned in every
day living. We can think Of no phase
of human activity in which 1t has no
part, for it is an aid not only of pleas
ure, Of beauty and decoration, but it Is
an important factor in literature. in
science, in the manufactures. The sur
geon depends upon the camera. The
astronomer and the microscopic use it
to extend their vision and to record
mysteries and discoveries.
Photography offers a wide field for
the service of women. Woman is natu-
rally an art lover and takes kindly to
instruction in art. The profession is not
hedged by precedent, as are law and
the medical calling. Woman enters on
the same platform as men. and. the
avenues of work being SO varied. she
is welcome and may do the work best
fitted for her without standing beside
her stronger brothers"

SAYS DANCING IS A
FORM OF RELIGION

Chicago. Dec. 3.-Skating and golf
ing and dancing, when 1t Is real play.
and not mere social labor, are all
forms of religion; for play Is a pre-
paration for religious life and often
one of the chief means Of its realiza-
ton.
So says Prof. Carl Seashore Of the
University Of Iowa. in an article con-
tributed to the current issue of the
American Journal Of Theology. just is
sued from the University of Chicago
Press, and he seeks to prove religion
in a higher form of play.
PLAY Is the means of and a large
source of enjoyment" says Professor
Seashore, drawing his analogy. Re
ligion is a growth; 1t is a preparation
for a greater life. Take out the ele-
ment of growth in religion and you
take out religion. And this growth
comes about through exercise. The
labored, set, necessary exercise pro-
duces a servile. negative and stale re-
ligion; the religion Of love. happiness
and faith, on the other hand. grows
through spontaneous self-expression
for the love of expression-and this is
play.
Our ceremonies, services and OBJ
servances, whatever purpose they
serve. have much in common with
games. play attitudes. sacrifices and
Sections which characterize play"

ALLOWED TO FIX

obtaining money by false pretenses.
According to the police Adams OBJ
tanned from business houses advertise
ments for the Adams Comedy COM
pany, which, he said, was to play at
one of the theaters here this week.
In extenuation Adams said to the
court: Il have been on a debauch

what was doing. needed the money
and needed it badly, for l was down
and out. l was at one time in the
company Of the great Booth. All! there
were actors then"
Saying he could get employment at
tho Washington asylum, he begged to
be allowed to 60 back there. Judge
Aukam accordingly committed him to
that institution for six months.
