Agent Key of the Humane Society complained in the Police Court today that Edgar A. Nelson of the Herdic Company permitted a lame horse to be worked on the 15th street hill. The de- fendant said that the lameness was caused by a shoe being put over a corn when the anin's was roughshod daring the snow storm. He said that ne would not have permitted the znimal tobe taken out had he known it was lame. Jndge Miller said he would make the penalty small and fixed it at $5. ——— ‘The Snow Law.

The result of this partiality may, in one block, wade half the distance through the snow and having had thoroughly soaked the few bare spois of ment are of very ttle benefit. It is perfectly ticable to so frame the law as to make it Spply to the entire length of the walks by hav- ing the snow or ice in front of vacant lot tleaned off by gangs of men or boys hired by the city, and the cost, which would not amount to more than ten or fifteen cents per front of ade a lien against the premises, to be collected the same as taxes. This would also give employment to many deserving poor. ‘The crossings could at the same time be eco- nomically cleared at the expense of the general fund.

OCTAVE FEUILLET DEAD. ‘The Noted Novelist and Dramatist of France. The death of Octave Feuillet, the well-known French novelist and dramatist, is announced. Octave Feuillet, who ranked:as one of the most eminent‘ novelists and dramatists of France, belonged to Norman family and was born at Saint Lo in 1822. Having completed the course of study at the College of Louisle-Grand young Feuillet took a room in the Hotel Cor- neille, under the Odeon Theater, frequented the coulisses, chatted with actors and actresses, watched play after play from the galleries, de- Voted much of his time to the perusal of the chief dramatic authors and after the space of a few months wrote “Le Bourgeois de Rome,” which he had the satisfaction to see acted be- hind the footlighta. A PURE TONE Ix HI8 WRITINGS. At the very outset of his career he pitted himself against Alfred de Musset and the lit- erary school which was beginning to flout the sacredness of the marriage tie. Feuillet wrote several novels in which he attempted to prove that it was not essential to pleasure that it should be carried on under conditions which the world looked on, to say the least, aseq cal; and the success, partial at first, but com- plete afterward, which the works he in such a spirit’ met with, certainly strated that thousands could read his pages with the same amount of delight as thousands of others read tore of Alfred de Musset.
