The journals of the military men
all over the world are now busily dis
cussing the use of dogs in war.
Dogs have long been regarded as
a proper part of an army's equip
ment in Europe. Their work, how
ever, has come after the battle and
they have been used to hunt out
wounded and to carry first aide
packages.
For some years the work of train
ing dogs for military work has been
in the experimental stage in Ger
many, the animals being used as an
aid to sentinels.
But it remained for the Italian
army in TTipoi to make its dog corps
an aid in actual fighting. And,
curiously enough, the system that
was adopted by Italian officers was
but the working out of a plan that
had been used by American troops
and which party explains the success
of certain organizations in the field.
The first authentic mention of the
use of dogs as scouts for an army or
ganization is made by Major Mat
thew Steele, U. s. army, and the oc-
casion when they were used was dur
ing the campaign in Cuba in 1898.
Major Steele was then lieutenant in
the 9Th cavalry and a dog named
don" was sort of mascot with that
organization. don" was trained to
hunt men, and in the Cuban cam
paign he was sent into the Jungle
where the sharpshooters lay ahead of
the men. Don" flushed the Spanish
ambassadors in exactly the same way
a good hunting dog Pushes game
birds-with this difference, that, in
stead of standing perfectly still,

POWER OF THE Arc LIGHTS.
Resolution Inquiring Int" Cost of
Type Recently at King and
ST., Asaph Streets.

The committee on light of the City
Council had referred to them last
night resolution introduced by
Councilman Smith which is as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That the committee ON
light be requested to take up with the
County Lightning Company the mat
ter of Installing improved street
lights in the p1lce Of the lights at
present in use anui similar to the
light recently in use at tine corner OF
King and St Asaph streets, and that
the light committee be requested to
report whether the lights in use at
present comply with the lighting
colnpany's contract and franchise
with the city.
The light referred to was placed
at the intersection of King and ST..
!Asaph streets some time ago, and its
power and brilliancy attracted gene
raj attention.
The fact that vehicles pass through
the streets at night without lights
has often been commented upon, and
last night Councilman Chauncey in
troduced an orinahce. which was re-
tferred to the committees on streets
and general laws, providing that in
future all vehicles appearing on the
streets after dark must be provided
with lights. A penalty of one to five
dollars is provided for any infraction
Of the law.

KILLED ENGINEER.
Southern Railway Train Derailed in
South Carolina.

The derailment of u south-bound
Southern Raiway passenger tr.aGn
near Easley, s. c., late Monday af-
'tern0on caused the death of Engineer
&. Voyles and serious injuries to
the fireman, c. c. KELLEY. The bag
gage master and express messenger
were also slightly hurt but no report
has been received as to amy serious
injuries to passengers.
That more serious consequences d'd
not follow the del'ailment is conSld-
cred remarkable in view of the fact
that the engine, mail car. baggage
car and three passenger coaches left
the track. The engine IS thought to
have overturned, crushing Engineer
Voyles and his fireman. 1t is under
stood that the other cars renamed
upright and that the slight injuries to
the others of the train crew were
due to being hur.e3 against proJec-
tions in the cars.
