Police Obliged to XIII Animal With
Poisoned Meat to Remove
Suicide.

A striking and pathetic example of
the well-known fidelity of the dog was
provided recently by a tragic Incl
dent which occurred in an old-world
part of the city of London. For sew
eral hours fine bulldog named "Vic'
guarded the dead body of her master
with such tenacity that the police were
finally obliged to kill her with poison
ID meat to enable them to remove the
mans body to the city mortuary.
The man, an unemployed Diapers
assistant named Hyatt, had been a
lodger at cheap restaurant, and
failed to come down to the dining
room fos his meals. On his rooms be-
ing visited, through a hole in the
locked door the lodger was seen lying
on the floor in a pool of blood, the
dog keeping watch over him. The
faithful animal would allow no one to

DAME NATURE HINTS
When the Food Is Not Suited.

When Nature gives her signal that
something is wrong it is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always
faithful and one should act at once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Ari-
zona man says:
For years 1 could not safely eat
any breakfast. l tried all kinds Of
breakfast foods, but they were all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches. I drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for I found the toast
very constipating.

Cecil Ferguson, the Adonis of the

what was perhaps the most peculiar

the batter drove fly to Miller, who
was over in deep left center. The
runner held his base and the batter
tore around first to race to second on
the throw to the plate. Ferguson
went over on line between the short
stop and catcher, being ready to catch
the ball and throw to second base In
case he decided there wasn't chance
to catch the runner going home He
decided at the last instant that Mil
ler's throw was good enough to catch
the runner at the plate and lodged
quickly into stopping position to let
the ball go on to Harry Smith, who
was catching. But in lodging Fergy
miscalculated the shoot of ths ball,
which darted downward, cracking him
on the top of the head. INSTEAD of

Avoid the Cheap and "Big Can" Bak-
ing Powders.

Avoid the Cheap and Big Can" Bak-
ing Powders.
The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation: they certainly give the
purchaser plenty of powder for his money
but it's not all baking powder; the bull;
is made up of cheap materials that have
no leavening power. These powders are
so carelessly made from inferior mate
rails that they will not make light, whole
some food. Further, these cheap baking
powders have a very small percentage OF
leavening gas; therefore it takes from two
to three times as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long
run, the actual cost to the consumer of the
cheap powders is more than Calumet
would be.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome bak,
ing powder like Calumet, that is at the
same time moderate in price and one
which can be relied upon? Calumet gives
the cook the least trouble.

ADAPTING AFRICAN ANIMALS
TO AMERICA.

The members of the National Press
Club were thrilled and delighted on
Sunday night by Major Frederick R.
Burnham, rchief of scouts for the Brit
ish army during the Boer war, as he
related his experiences during some of
the most exciting periods of the conflict
which staggered humanity" 1t is
now announced that he will head an
expedition to the interior of Africa, for
the purpose of securing specimens of
certain animals suitable for domestica-
ton in this country. These will be
place, on lands now owned by the Gov
ernment in California and Louisiana,
which seem best adapted to the ends
in view. Major. Burnham, in a conver-

the more useful varieties of the an

SOME PERILS OF INLAND
NAVIGATION.

The risks taken by those who go
down to the sea in ships are as moth
ing compared to the danger of navi
eating the pine barre1is of the Old Do
minion with vessels of light draught.
The shipwrights have never yet sue
ceeded in constructing craft which
would safely encounter the usual perils
of the deep and at the same time
overcome all the hazards of a voyage
through the forest primeval. For in
stance, there is the three masted
schooner John A. Curtis, which went
into the woods last week looking for
a cargo Of timber. 1t breasted the
waves of York river as naturally and
as confidently as if it had been merely
cruising over the Pacific. 1t encoun-
tered some rough weather when it
turned into the Mattaponi, and while
quite a sea was running, all went well
until it turned its PROV inland and
started in search of the lumber camp.
In spite of the fact that the navigators
were all experienced seamen and had
been on many voyages among the long
leaf and loblolly pines, the amphibious
Curtis ran smack into a low-hanging
limb and shipped off spar. The crew
were rescued by heroic efforts and soon
brought safely back on board, but the
vessel was laid up for repairs for quite
some time.
If the fleet of forest schooners be-
comes any larger steps will have to be
taken to safeguard the lives of our
sailor woodsmcn. A shipwrcck at sea
simply means that all hands and the
the cook take to the life belts or a
raft and drift securely and comfortably
ashore 4 marine disaster in the heart
of the pine barrens is different. In
those great stretches of forest it is
frequently miles and miles to the
nearest friendly port. At the very
least, the weary castaways may not
arrive until long after supper. Con
siderations of humanity may yet re-
ouire that the lumber be brought to
the ships instead of leaving them to 60
out on these perilous inland voyages.

SENATOR LORIMER'S DEBT
TO THE LAME DUCKS.

There is a certain amiable class of
statesmen, of whom it can be expected
that they will vote their real senti-
ments as soon as responsibility to their
people is removed. Many man would
like to be a good fellow and vote for
Senator Lorimer, another good fellow,
if it were not for the people back at
home who read roll-calls. That is the
consideration which moves many to be
right on such propositions as direct
election of Senators, the Lorimer case,
and like matters.
The lineup OH the Senate in the
Jorimer vote peculiarly illustrates the
freedom of the man who has no longer
expectation of answering the criti
cisms of constituency The men who
have already been defeated for return
to the Senate, who will cease to be
Senators after March 4. who cannot be
reached by the argument that con-
stituencies will be indignant-they are
the ones who cast the votes that seated
Lorimer. Look at the list of them:
Bulkeley, Burrows, Carter, Depew,
Dick, Flint, Hale, Kean, Piles, Scott
ten in all
On the other side were Just three
men whose responsibility TO constitu-
encies will end with March 4-Beve-
ridge, Warner, and Burkett
The most interesting parallel is that
between the vote against popular cleo
tion of Senators and that in favor OF
Lorimcr. The people who voted for
Lorimer are generally those who do
not believe the popular election of Sen
ators is safe. Does it require second
sight to understand why?
1t is the commonest observation that
the Lorimer result has done more to
promote popular elections of Senators
than anything else this session. With
out doubt this is true. The great pub
lie is convinced as to the merits of
this case. 1t will not forget the men
who voted against popular elections,
and two days later voted in favor of
Lorimer. 1t will get to them just as
soon as possible
If a half score of Senatorial de
capitations do not result from the
pro Lorimer votes it will be wonder

DEFEAT'OF JUDSON PLAN IS
NOT SERIOUS.

While the financial features of the
"Judson plan" are good and should be
incorporated into law for the purpose
of permitting the District to pay its
debt to the Government slowly, the de-
feat of the bill by the House yesterday
is not so serious as to cause anybody
in Washington to lie awake nights.
So far as District finances are con-
cerned, nobody needs to worry. They
are taking care of themselves. Our as
sessed values are increasing so rapidly
that the debt will be liquidated in a
few years anyway without serious cur
taiIment to current appropriations.
However, had the bill been restricted
to Encouragement of the Districts
finances it would probably have passed.
The thing that beat it was its pro-
visions for permanent improvements.
The House doubted the wisdom of
committing Congress to the eXpendi
ture of $20,0O0,000 for specific park,
highway, and reclamation projects dur
ing the next twelve years. Conse-
quentIy, the bill was beaten.
This result need not prove discourag-
ing to the citizens of the District, who
are anxious that a definite, compre
hensive plan for permanent improve
ments be adopted. The rush of a ses-
sion's end is no time for Congress to
frame a policy involving such a big
project.
