WHEN THE PETS SUFFER.

a A large gray cat leaped TO death
from a l3.story window OF New
York hotel. and n telegram gives the
explanation that the animal committed
suicide In this way because It's mis-
tress had sailed for Europe, leaving It
behind, says the Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph Whether the cat commit
ted suicide or not Is immaterial, but
the incident does serve a purpose In
calling attention to a pathetic side OF
the vacation season In thousands or
homes all over the country there are
household pets, such as dogs and cats
and birds. and as many of these homes
are closed during the summer, or at
least for several weeks. the pets are
in most instances left TO snift Tor
themselves. For the sake OF the songs
ihere are nelghbors who will take
charge of the canaries during the alb
hence OF their owners. but for the dogs
and the cats there are, as a rule. only
harsh words and buffetings from the
neighbors, and sticks and stones
from the urchins of the community,
and the poor creatures, homeless,
friendless. and abused, are indeed OBJ
Jects OF pity. It would be much more
humane for the owners Of these pets
TO put them to death before going
away on their vacation trips, instead
of leaving them TO their fate, but the
practice of deserting them goes on
year after year.

THE CANADIANS
AND RECIPROCITY
Now the Issue Before the Peo-
pie of That Country.
CAMPAIGN WILL BE BITTER.
Premier laurier Carries Out His
Threat, Oissolves the Parlis-
ment and Appes to
the Country.

Ottawa, Ont.-The eleventh Par
lament of Canada passed out of ex-
istence Saturday, and upon the polit-
ical complexion of a new one to be
elected September 81 will depend the
fate OF the reciprocity agreement be-
tween the United States and Canada.
Premier Laurier decided to ask for
an immediate dissolution at d meet
ing of his cabinet Saturday after
noon, and at once notified Earl Grey,
the governor general. A short time
later a special issue Of the Official
Gazette was printed containing the
formal announcement and giving
legal effect to the edict.
AS the House does not sit on Sat
urdays there were only few mem
bers at the Parliament buildings
when the action was announced In
both Liberal and opposition rooms
the news was received with cheers
and the members hurried away to
telegraph their political workers that
lHe CdIlpdlbH was oH'
Came as Surpris'.
The announcement of dissolution
persons expected 1t before next week
at the earliest. The absolute refusal
of the Conservative minority in the
House to close the debate on the gov
ernment's reciprocity resolution and
permit vote upon 1t, which would
mean its adoption, and the i'm
probability of change in their at
titude, resulted in the governments
decision that 1t was useless to keep
Parliament sitting another day.
This is the first time session OF
the Dominion Parliament has been
closed without the appearance of the
governor general in military state at
the Senate chamber to give formal
prorogation. AS the Senate was
not due to reassemble until August 9,
and as prorogation could not take
place without both houses being
present, dissolution was resorted to.
The Sole Issue
1t is generally agreed that the two
months campaign before the coun-
try will be vigorous and even bitter.
Reciprocity probably will be the sole
Issue, although the Conservatives in
Quebec may seek to inject the naval
issue into the contest. The anti
annexation cry already has been
raised by the Conservatives in all
parts Of the country.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his minis
ters will take the stump and conduct
platform campaigns in all provinces.
The prime minister will confine his
attention to the central provinces
and Quebec, while Mr.. Fielding,
minister of finance. who helped to
draft the reciprocity agreement, will
devote his attention to the maritime
provinces.

MERELY ADMS NISHMENT
Wilson Does Not Ask for Condien
Punishment for Wiley.

Washington.-It is known here
that Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
in report to President Taft, has
recommended that DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, the pure food expert, be ad-
monished, but not dismissed. Sec
retary Wilson, 1t is understood, de-
clares leniency must be shown DR..
Wiley because of his valued services
to the government in the past and
his usefulness for the future. For
this reason he apparently does not
believe that "condign punishment"
should be meted out in the case.
Under the recommendation the
President will be able to retain DR..
Wiley in his position, as it has been
believed all the time he would do,
without seeming to ignore the advice
of his attorney general. Thus an
embarrassing situation will be
avoided.

Historic Ship Saved.

Washington.-The oil sailing ma
val vessel Portsmouth, now used as
a quarantine ship at Norfolk, Va,
will not be dismantled or disturbed
in any way until Congress passes
upon the proposition to ft her out
in condition to sail around to San
Francisco to be preserved there as
a relic. The Portsmouth raised the
American flag at Buena Yerba, now
San Francisco, in the war with Mex
leo. 1t is estimated the repairs will
cost $4,000.

The WIRE TRUST MEN FINED
Thirty Seven Manufacturers Plead
Guilty to Re-
strain Trade.

New York.-Thirty-se OF the
"a wire manufacturers and their en-
ployes, who were indicted by the
grand jury here on June 29 on the
charge OF combining in nine pools 10
the restraint OF trade in the wire
business, entered pleas OF nolo con-
tendere before Judge Archibald, IN
the criminal branch Of the United
States Circuit Court here, and each
was fined $1,000 on the initial ccint
ard 500 on every additional count
in the indictment against him. me
total amount Of the fines imposed Is
$42,700, and of this sum $2l 900 was
paid to Commissioner Shields before
he closed his Office for the night.
In the case of most of the 81 ap-
pearing before Judge Archha!d the
nolo contendere was entered to sap
plant the original plea OF not guilty
already made; for a few the nolo
contendere was the initial plea. Dis
trict Attorney Wise has heard from
the lawyer representing several
other indicted wire men that they,
too, will come into court and enter
the plea of nolo contendere.
Those who pleaded and we're sem
tenccd to be fined, some of them on
as high as six and eight convictions,
represented the following, alleged by
the government to have participated
in the nine pooling associations; Lead
Encased Rubber Cable Association,
Fine Magnet Ware Association. Rub
ber-covered Wire Association, Wire
Rope Association, Weather-proof and
Magnet Wire Association, Under
ground Power Cable Association,
Telephone Cable Association, Horse
shoe Manufacturers Association and
Bare Copper Wire Association.
Though several who paid up today
we're listed under scattering indict-
ments as representatives of the Bare
Copper Wire Association, William
Palmer, the president of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company, whose
name headed the list under the Bare
Copper Wire Association, and who
was indicted seven times, was not one
of those to appear.

The instruction of school children
on the danger OF railroad trespassing
Is a good thing 10 take up. Much OF
the danger is incurred through child
Ssh thoughtlessness and failure of re-
.quisite attention of parents and in.
Ftructors to the matter The fact that
cars and trains have the right OF way
on railway tracks cannot be too strong
ly impressed on the youthful mind. In
fact, It might with advantage be
brought TO some ADULT attention. At
the same time. much danger. particu-
larly to the young and to the aged and
feeble. might be lessened by more at
tention on the part of car and train
crews to the laws governing the rate
of speed in cities. particularly the
ordinances applying TO the street
crossings.

Mrs Antio n cite Zol Found Dead in
Her Cowshed.

Muskegon, Mich. - That Mrs
found dead in a cowshed in the rear
Of her farm home was not murdered,
but came to her death by being
butted by a ram, is the conclusion
practically arrived at by officers In
vestigating the case.
The sheep was found in the fields,
its horns bloody and a large patch of
blood on the back of its neck. The
theory is that the ram attacked Mrs.
Zoll as she ran around the house in
terror and finally knocked her down.
When it left her. it is thought she
managed to drag herself into the
shed, where she died.

SCorn for Scandalmonsers.

The acrimony of spirit and
the intense malice that have
been engendered in respect of
the administration of the gov
ernment in Alaska and in the
consideration OF measures pro-
posed for her relief and the
wanton recklessness and eager
ness with which attempts have
been made to besmirch the char
acters of high officials having to
do with the Alaskan govern
ment, and even of persons not
in public life, present a condi-
tion that calls for condemnation
and requires that the public be
warned of the decentralization
that has been produced by the
hysterical suspicious Of good
people and the INSCRIPTIONS and
corrupt misrepresentation of
the wicked. The helpless state
to which the credulity of some
and the malevolent scandal
mongering of others have
brought the people of Alaska
in their struggle for its de-
velopment ought to give the
public pause.
