DwindIinq Captives.

Most creatures that have been tanned by man have gained in size during their long captivity, but there are sev- eral notable exceptions. The cat is one. Our house pussy Is d smaller and far feeblcr thing than the wild cat from which she Is descended. Sheep and turkeys are other instances of de- generation. The wild gobblcr is con- sidcrably larger than the tame Thanks giving bird. X full grown wild ram of thc Rocky mountain species seldom weighs less than 800 pounds, and the wild sheep of the old world are said to be of equal size, while a tame ram, even of the mutton breeds, is doing well if he scales 200 pounds.-ChicagO Journal

Mir. Editor:
 But the poor dog, in life his
 .firmest friend
 The first to welcome, foremost to
 defend;
 Whose honest heart is all his mas
 ter's own
 Who lives, breathes, dies for him
 alone"
 From Byron's "Ode to a New foundland Dog"
 1 read with keen sorrow your scant obituary of biscuit" the big vel low dog, the property of MT. Andy Brown, and ask the privilege of registering my own indignation that ths faithful old animal, one of Skagway's landmarks, should have met such an undeserVed fate. !
 Among his many sturdy qualities Of head and heart was the fidelity with which he guarded a little black and white dog, his constant 'compan- ion, and the tie between them seem ed almost human in It's strength and it's tenderness. The big fel- low was "guide, philosopher and friend" to his abbreviated canine comrade, and the fealty was of no "tair weather" stripe. When the distress signal was out, "Biscuit" was as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land" to his petite friend and he bore in his defense the brunt of mary a fierce com pat that had it's origin in an un- amiable propensity on the part of his selfsame little friend" to start something he could not fin ish. With profound sagacity Biscuit" realized that he had adopted a bunch of trouble, but was game to the end, accepting with the fortitude of an ancient Stoic the cards dealt him by a perVerse fate,. and his rugged old body carried with it to an honorable grave the scars of many Q desperate fight waged to prevent harm befalling his lilliputian ward.
 Such devotion is as rare as it Is ,ouching, and since Biscuits" demise his four-footed friend has threaded the by-ways and high ways of the town in quest of his former protector with an anxiety and grief that is truly pathetic.
 How anyone, though he have in his composition but a drop of the milk of human kindness, could, with malice a prepense, deliberate ly poison such hero of the liar flung battle line," such a pictures que figure, such an exemplar of the rare quality of friendship, is beyond my comprehension.
 trust this stormy petrel of AL aska, whose NapoleOnic victories over dog and porcupine made him both q feared and respected fig ure in the throbbing life of the city as well as amid sylvan soli- tudes, will be laid to rest beside the Skagway river, whose turbulent eDar,. best typifies lis own tenn pestuoUs career.
 May I quote in conclusion the words of the late Senator Vest, of Missouri, taken from his tribute to a dog:
 'The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never

Alma Beck Concert.

One of the most artistic and beautiful
musical programs heard in Richmond
for quite while, was given on Friday
evening at the Normal Chapel by Miss
Alma Beck, contralto, Mrs. Joseph Pan
ther, pianist, and Mr.. Joseph Panther,
tenor.
All three are artists in their line and
the continued applaused attested the APP
probation of the audience. Miss Beck,
who has been here before, is always az
corded a hearty welcome and never has
she shown her brilliant powers to great
er advantage than on Friday evening.
She has contralto voice of marvellous
range and sweetness which completely
captivates her hearers. Possibly her
most artistic number was Farewell, Ye
Hills" from Joan of Arc. Mr.. Panther's
fine tenor was equally source of pleas
ure. The Requiem, ''Au Parting"
and 1.-The Moon Drops Low, being most
perfectly rendered.
Mrs. Panther's technical skill and fine
musical appreciation contributed largely
10 the success of the evening. She has
delicate. beautiful touch and shows the
most perfect training as we'll as a most
wonderful musical gift.

new YORK TROOPS TO
QUELL STRIKE RIOT
Militia Charges Strikers at
MaSSena.

Massena, N. Y, August 2.-The con-
stFol of the situation arising from the
strike of 2,40O employees of the alumni
taken over by three companies of the
New York National Guard.
Before the summons for militia had
been made two employees of the COM
.pany were victims of attack. One was
shot in the leg and now is dying in an
+ Ogdensburg hospital. Another was
thrown into the power canal at the
plant.
Soon after the arrival of the first
company a bridge, behind the barri-
cades of which were intrenched hun
dreds of strikers, was charged, and
the strikers dispersed. Since that
time the militia has been in full
charge of the situation.
The strike, which has completely
tied up operations here at time when
the company was enjoying great pros
perity. was the result of a refused re-
quest for increased compensation. II
were informed that their request for
$1.90 per day had been refused and
that they were expected to continue
at the wage of $1.75 per day.
Almost Immediately after the re-
ceipt of this ultimatum the employees.
about five hundred strong, left their
work and took up a position on a
bridge leading into the company's
plant
Oficers of the company got into
communication with Sheriff Day, who
made the request for the troops.

Fourth Congressional District cast 81
932 votes for Woodrow Wilson, one
tenth of the entire Democratic vote in
Kentucky, and it has never failed TO give
loyal support to all Democratic nomi-
nees. In the primary election to be

has but one candidate seeking the nomi-
nation for State Office, and that is G..
B. Likens of Ohio county, who aspires
to the Office of Secretary of State Mr..
Likens will have the united support of
the Fourth District democracy. His
qualifications, his personal integrity, his
party loyalty are not excelled by any
other candidate running in the August

cient officer could not be selected. The
Fourth District has no Democrat now
holding an elective State office at Frank
fort. and unless Mr.. Likens is nominat-
ed it will not be represented on the
State. ticket. VOTE FOR HIM, Not
alone because he is the only candidate
from the Fourth District but because he
is the best man to nominate.

CARRANzA WILL
FEED STARVING
Promises Food Supply For
Mexico City.
TRAINS ARE BEING LOADED
Declared Railway to Capital Is Open
Will Send Additional Supplies to
Take the Place of Food Taken by
His Army.

Washington, August "A state
ment followed the announcement of
the reoccupation of the City of Mexi-
CO by Gen. Gonzales's army from Gen.
Carranza's headquarters at Nera Cruz
that immediate efforts would beemade
to send foodstuffs by rail to the starv-
ing people of the capital.
Reopening of the railroad will furn-
ish an important test for the. effective
ness of military operations of Car
ranza's forces to protect means or
transportation from the east coast to
the capital, officials here believe. Much
depends, they say, upon the success
of this undertaking, because the Uni
ted States government is determined
to relieve the famine in the City of
Mexico II Carranza's forces can not
do it.
The state department had no direct
advices as to the situation there.
Heavily guarded trains, it was re.
ported, are being prepared to leave
Vera Cruz with provisions to supple
ment those being taken into the city
by the army. Washington officials
are hopeful that Gen. Gonzales Shas
left the railway line so well patrolled
that the trains will get through with
slight delay.
information of Carranzas plans
came to his Washington agency in a
message from Jesus Acuna, Carranza
minister of foreign affairs, who an
nounced also that the railroad between
Queretaro and Aguasealientes, con-
Meeting Gonzales and Gen. Obregon's
forces, would be reopened. The mes
sage said:
"In addition to the supplies which
Gen. Pablo Gonzales will carry with
him into the City of Mexico at the
present occupation the Constitutional
ist government has arragned for the
sending In of additional supplies to
the amount of 1,20o tons of staples,
which Include flour. corn, beans, bar
ley, lard and dried meats. These sup
plies are supplemental to the large
quantities of relief materials which
have been detained en- route by
reason of the necessitous military
operations incident to the regaining
and preservation of control of railroad
connection from the coast to the capi-
tai The public services for the food
distribution will be at once reopened.
Civil administration has been rein
stalled at Queretaro and civil en-
ployes of the Constitutionalist govern
ment are being moved from Queretaro
to Aguascalientes and to points inter
vening between that important center
and Queretaro. The establishment
Of communication reunites the armies
Of Obregon and Gonzales by telegraph

Unofficial reports say an advance
guard of Gonzales's army has taken
possession of the City of Mexico with
out meeting resistance.
The Villa agency issued a state
ment saying the flying column was
operating in the states of Hidalgo,
Vera Cruz, Puebla and Mexico. In
this case it may be able to menace the
railroad to Vera Cruz.

EVEN BET
In London That the u. S. Will
be in the War Within Five
Weeks Time.

The betting in London is even money
that the Unites States will be in the
war in five weeks. Passengers arriving
in New York on the Adriatic, of the
White Star Line, declared that when
they left London TO embark on the ves-
sci which sailed from Liverpool on July
2l, many bets were being laid at the ho-
tells and clubs on the possibility of the
United States entering the conflict.
Opinion seemed about evenly divided,
they declared, but so sure were those
who thought this country would become
embroiled that they asked no odds as
long as the limit was set for six weeks
at the longest.
AL one widely known London club a
wager of one thousand pounds 5000
was laid the day before the Adriatic
sailed, one passenger asserted.
