POOR OLD TIGE
MUST BE KILLED
According to the Will of His Mistress,
Dog is to Be Shot or
Chloroformed

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, March 33.-The fate
of Tige, a silver gray Yorkshire ter
rier. seven years old, hangs in the
balance
BY the will of Mrs. Violet 3. Chan
dler, owner of the dog, filed in the
probate court, it was provided that af-
ter her death Tige should be either
chloroformed or shot, and given a
decent burial.
Mrs. Julia Grady, a cousin Of Mrs.
Chandler, is named as executrix of
the will. She has became attached
TO the dog and does not want TO order
it killed.
Tige is now being cared for by a
physician, pending decision whether
the terms OF the will shall be carried
out.
Mrs. Chandler died Monday at Null
lanphy hospital. She expressed a de-
sire to see Tige before her death. A
friend took the dog to Mrs. Chambers
bedside and she was permitted to
stroke its head. A few hours later
the woman died.

and there were no weary waits. There
was something doing every minute.
The initial stage setting was very
pretty and the finale navel review
brought forth cheers from the auo
fence. Fields tried this year to get
up something different and he sue
ceeded. The solo and chorus work
was especially good and Johnny Dove
in his Scotch minstrel act was cap
tivating. AS q dancer he has just
something little better than any one
and his recall was frequent. Harry
Fern was an instantaneous hit and
his negro acting, dancing and singing
exceptional in delineation and quail

To the President and Members of
the Benevolent Union:
The ways and means committee
appointed by the president consisted
of six ladies in addiction to the chair
man. These were divided into three
committees, each of which served for
two months at two different intervals.
Mrs. Bceks and Mrs. Well served
during March and April. also through
July and August, Mrs. Cox taking the
place of Mrs. Beeks, while the latter
was out of the city. Mrs. Titus and
Mrs. j. w. Collier served throughout
May and June and again during No
vember and December. Mrs e. T..
Hawkes. and Mrs. A. Weber assumed
the work for September and October
and also for January and February.
Owing to the efficiency and untiring
energy of our matron, the duties of
the ways and means committee have
been light dniing the past year and
the expense or improvements has
been cmaller than usual. The ceiling
in one small room was replastered
and carpenter and plumber were
called in a few times for some minor
repair work
The contract for coal during the
season was awarded to the Misss-
sippi Valley Coal and Ice Co, who
agreed to furn III the requisite amount
in installments as needed for $3.50
per ton. This price included the
CARRYING into the basement.
Before turning the work over to our
successors, we think that it is only
just to bestow upon our matron a
word of praise for her satisfactory
management OF the institution. Clean

vailed at all times; with due consid-
