Even Though Girl for Whom II Was

Chicago.-The bijou TOULOUSE for
children, which for many years has
gladdened the hearts and excited the
interest of children passing the home
of Thomas Lynch, Dearborn avenue. Is
to be kept in repair and renovated.
The wedding recently Of Miss Leila

to keep intact the miniature dwelling
which had brought as much joy to
members of the family. Miss Lynch

Of repair and fresh paint A veranda
which formerly made pleasant loung-

Electric light and the connections are
broken. and the inside of the dwelling
is one of chaos. Much Of the ap-
pointments of the apartment, however.
remain to demonstrate its former
glory and completeness.
Three rooms comprise the lower
floor, with stairs leadin Z to a tower,

Great Britain on Still Hunt for
Good Animals.
Sum Of $25o,ooo to Be Set Aside for
Developing Equine-choice Ones
&C Abroad Because Foreigner
Pays More.

London.-A sort of government stud,
Of which the purpose is to establish a
new breed of horse, is not unlikely to
be presently endowed by the commits
sioners Of the development grant.
They have promised. as recently an
nounced, s250,000 for the encourage
ment of horse breeding; but the more
any definite scheme is inquired into
the more clearly 1t appears that the
cardinal point, so far as the army is
concerned, is money. The best horses
go abroad simply because the foreign
er pays more; and to supply q govern
ment department with extra doles is
no business of the commissioners
What they do should be done princi-
pally on behalf of the breed itself.
This being so. 1t is proposed as q
FIRST step to try to convert the hunter
from a mongrel to an aristocrat. The
hunter is the horse OF horses for util-
ity. The cavalry and the territorials
want nothing but the hunter. At pres
ent the breeding of hunters is ran

bred stocks.
Thoroughbred sires are sent to the
several centers by the royal commits
sion on horse breeding. but the breed
ing of hunters would be on very diff
ferent footing II the hunter type could
be, as it were, stereotyped in distinc-
tive pure breed. In many parts even
OF Ireland, the paradise Of hunters. the
type is depreciating and nowhere is it
improving.
II is argued that really scientific
and practical body, with the grant Of
several thousand dollars year, could
evolve a pure bred hunter Of just the
sort required. Just as the pigeon or dog
fanciers have evolved birds and dogs
Of every sort of pattern" Similar ex-
periments recently made in Hertford-
shire In regard to polo ponies are very
promising; and these have been under
taken on no very scientific method.
The evolving Of such horse would
make horse breeding for the army a
steady, lucrative business instead of
lottery. and would be constant
source Of wealth. to the country. II

Reason for Past NeaIect.

There is reason for past neglect to
honor the commander Of the Army OF
the Potomac-for Meade bore that
title from the date of the battle of
Gettysburg up to the very close of the
war, although of course General Grant
was in chief command Of the armies
which pressed on to Richmond. A
great many military authorities hold
that Meade ought to have followed up
his Gettysburg victory by the pursuit
of General Lee. 1t has been held that
he could have crushed Lees army II
he had made a vigorous pursuit and
successive assaults.
There are other military authorities
who say that Meade knew what he
was doing, and that the circumstances
OF the case did not admit of rapid
and effective following of General
Lees retreating army. It makes lit
tie difference on which side of the
controversy merit lies. The fact re-
mains that the supposed inactivity OF
Meade after the battle of Gettysburg
largely has been factor In prevent
ing up to this time a recognition of
his services by a statue In the cap
itol city. There was the same sort of
feeling existing with regard to Gen.
eral George B. Mcclellan, but today
one Of the finest memorials In the
city is that OF Mcclellan, which stands
