ANOTHER CANINE
BECOMES VICTIM
FROM POISONING
MRS. CHARLES CURTIS, OF
CAROLINE AND SIM0NToN
STREETS, TELLS ABOUT
LOSS OF PET

Another household pet has fall
len victim to the poisoner who
appears to select as his prey dogs
that are known to be valuable,
not only as family pets, but from
an intrinsic standard.
Mrs. Charles Curtis, Caroline
and Simonton streets, yesterday
afternoon reported to The Citizen
the death by poison of the high
bred terrier that had been the
family pet for many months.
Not only was the terrier of ex-
cellent pedigree and costly pet,
but it was more like a member of
the family and the especial canine
friend of Curtis Meltzer, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. l. N. Meltzer, and a
lgrandson of Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis.
/ Talking with The Citizen yes
terday over the many deaths OF
dogs by poison, Mayor VIM. II,
Malone said he had investigated
the matter and had satisfied him
self that individuals in no way
connected with the city were re,
sponsible for administering the
poison.
1
Employees of the different de.
partments of the city had been
quizzed and none of them had any
knowledge of the matter. AS a
matter of fact, it is necessary for
person purchasing poison for
killing dogs to get a signed order
from the mayor to be able to pro-
cure any toxic ingredient from a
drug store, and none of these have
been issued by the mayor.
Mr.. Malone said he had been
considering making arrangements
for an appropriation of $50 by city
council to be used as a fund to pay
any person delivering stray DIGS
to the city hall.
The person delivering the ami
NAL wound be paid 25 cents. The
dog would be held three days
awaiting the call of the owner. II
the owner wanted his dog he would
pay TO the city 81. If no claim
for the dog was made. it would be
humanely put to death, possibly
by chloroforming, and taken to
sea by the scavenger boat.
In this way the mayor believes
the city will be- rid of the hun
dreds of pariahs that roam the
streets by day and night, and at
the same time owners of valuable
CANNES will be afforded an OPP
portunity of recovering their pets.

chairman of the committee on

Well satisfied with the progress
of the work in Key West, Admins
traitor Demeritt is looking for

when, the presidents program for
the continuance of CWA and

He told The Citizen that at no

the work there was naturally some
confusion.
This was when activities were
getting under way and many con-
flicting orders were received, u.s.
ually after others previously re-
ceived were being put into effect.
Since man hour allotments,
rates of pay and other matters of
import had been Strengthened out,
smooth sailing has been indicated

Postal Savings In Key West

WASHINGTON, Feb. TO-
Postal savings deposits at Key
West in a year increased from
ssos.OOs to $ss4.s27 and the mum
Der of depOsitOrs from s2s to $50,
according to the annual report on
ths postal savings system just sub.
mitled to the speaker of the house
of representative by Postmaster
General Farley.
IN all Florida the increase in
deposits was from $27,s7e.OlO to
szs,s7s.4sl and the number OF
deposition. from si.eos to s2.2i4.
The figures are for the years
1892 and 1888. There are ISL
offices in Florida accepting post
al savings. Deposits in Miami are
ths largest in the state. The sec.
ond largest are at Tampa.
Farley reported that postal saw
ings deposits in the United States
at the close of the last fiscal year
amounted to s1,1S7Is6.2Os, an
increase Of l$4O2, 365.5s4 over the
amount for the corresponding
dates last year.
The growth was comparable
with that of the fiscal year 1882,
which had an increase of $4S7,-
z0s,T53. he said.
The postmaster-general report
ed that there were no sectional
losses during the year 1888. In
fact. he said, all states-.as well as
the territory of Alaska and the
island possessions showed in
creases in the balance to the cred
it Of depositors.
The report also asserted that the
system is functioning as intend

operating with, but staying out of,
the business of banking. To have
the Postal Savings System coupled
with anything in the nature of
pure banking and the business Of
exchange in this transitional Pc
Rod, involving, as 1t would, great
~ increased cost of administration
and an inharmonious relation to
the presidents efforts to put, the
banking business of the country on
its feet would appear unwise."

monitor street.
With bathing pier in connec-
ton and the usual facilities for
cards, shuttle board and other
games in the auditorium annex,
opportunity would be afforded for
visitors and Key Westers to en-
joy many pleasant hours.
In the event the project is au-
thorized, Mr.. Demeritt says, it
will mean the construction of a
, building that will mean a great
deal more than it first appears.
In addition to the entertainment
features that will no doubt be
provided, it will mean a place of
recreation where groups of visi-
tors can gather and enjoy the aft
ernoons, enjoy delightful sea
bathing. plan parties and other
forms of social activity.

1t will also provide place
where entertainments on a large
scale. such as the Cabaret given
last night in the Athletic Club,
can be staged and presented in a
structure perfectly adapted for
this style of presentation.
With the completed Key West
Aquarium at one end of the city
and the auditorium and bathing
pier at the other, Mr.. Demeritt
says many hundreds of visitors
will come to Key West and enjoy
their visits in a greater degree
than they do now.
He intends to make every effort
to have the auditorium project
passed by the state and United
States CWA administrators when
funds are made available.

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The country

TONERS Of medicine are returning TO
their former place OF eminence as a
result Of the economic depression,
DR.. Dean Lewis, Baltimore. told the
Congress Of Medical Education yes
terday.
DR.. Lewis. president Of the Amer
lean Medical Association, urged edu-
Gators to aid the movement toward
restoration of the once high place
Of the general practitioner by the
work in medical schools.
While the medical profession has
been studying overspecialization
within its ranks. the economic de-
preston has done much to restore
the general practitioner" DR.. Lewis
said in an advance Of his address
for the congress. Persons have
found that they could be treated
satisfactorily in their homes by
their family physicians. This is a
notable change from the preceding
period during which the public was
educated TO believe that the special
ist was the last word"
DR.. Lewis said that conditions of
life in small communities must be
made more attractive to hold young
physicians. He also asked that a
plan be worked out to provide the
general practitioner with education
after he has finished medical
school.
At the council of the American
Hospital Association, meeting in
conjunction with the congress. an
annual report on group hospital
ization was presented.
Group disqualification. which en-
ables the average man to insure
himself against the costs of hospital
care, has been introduced into more
than thirty cities in twenty-one
different states" the report said.
Group disqualification is a plan
by which employed persons or mem
bers of other groups of the public
each pay regular and equal sub
scriptions into a common fund,
which is used when necessary to
pay the costs of hospital services to
subscribers" the report explained.
The group disqualification plans in
volve a cost of from IS to SO per
year per subscriber.
