What Dog Shows Have Done, Dog shows conducted under uniform rules pod under the supervision of competent fudges have beon of the_greatest service in pstablishing types of thedifferent breeds and seiling up staudards of excellence for breed- ers. They Lave also been of service in edu- ecating the public in the characteristics and merits of the various breeds. An extract from an article i the Kennel jazotte, says: “'In former days when six- u or tweaty dogs came into” the ring, it 4s an easy matter o pick out the prize winners und to dismiss the rest. Now, of course, 1t is 1ot an uncommon thing to find #s many dogs before the judge, and ot & bad oue in the class. This improvement b ©omo ubout through dog shows in variol fvays.

It do begin to 100k that way. 0Old Cy Duryea seems to have come again. He is pitching great ball for Cincinnati. Never will forgel the day that Old Cy came down here with the St. Pauls and bet Frank Selee a new Dunlap be'd hold the Omahogs down to four hits or under. In the first ipning they only made six singles, two doubles end a homer, and scored seven runs. Then Old Cy developed a sudden case of colic and retired. Claus Clausen, the little Swede who has been pitching from sheol wo breakfast for Columbus, had a four-penny nail torn off his pitehing finger the other day and will occuny the bench for a while. Ths Buckeyes, how- ever, don't seem to miss bim much, and the only wav they can be checkea in their mad career is for some good, strong picber to knock an arm off big Breckenridge and a leg or two off Walsh aud McClellan. Ren Mulford on Billy Earle's release by Pittsburg sa *“The only resson assigned for releasing the crack little catcher was that the club was carrying Loo many men. Earle should not be iong withovt an” engagement. He is a fine catcher, a stashing little bitter, and by odds the Lest base runner in the Prttsbure tearn, while he is strictly temper- ate and reliable. Clubs that cun release such players as Earlo must be long on first- class players.” Why didn’t you keep Billy, Mul. when you bad him in Uincinnati.

Brooklyn offered bim $3,500 this sea- son, but he beld out for just $1,000 more, but it never came. ‘This has been a loss to Mr. Lovett of $15 a day and they do say that it will finally drive him into an asviam. If there was ever & man who loved a dollar better than bhis life, that mwan is Tom Laoveut. e Bridgeoort papers call this “Tom Lovett's Revenge.” Tne wonderful bawting of First Baseman Breckenrioge bas causea considerable inter- estas to justwhat the big first busemam bas done With the stick since the opening of the championship season. In the thirty- three games played by Columbus (one belng a tio) Breckenridge bus been at bat 118 times. Heo has mude eleven home runs, one threebase hit, twelve doubles and seven sin- gles. His baiting aver: is .274 with a total of 78 bases, 80 that Breckeuridge can- not be classed as & good batter.—Toledo Bee. Ob, no, Breck’s no batter, according to the Toledo authoritios own figures. An average of 274 nothing, and yet there isn't & man in the Toledo team who is within twenty notches of it.

At the new Boyd tonight and ocontinuing four nignts, Reed and Colher in their laugn- able skit, **Hoss and Hoss,” which is under the management of W. G. Smyth, will be presented. From all accounts it deserves the high appreciation accorded it by crowded houses that have witnassed it wherever it has baen presented.' As Lawyer Charlie Hoss, Read entertains his audience with his witty saliies and fuany songs. William Col- lier is equally effective as yudge Willia Hoss sod his work in this characterization 1s said to be incomparable, while nis parodies are inimitable. Arthur Moul- o6, who will be remembered as & leading member of Frank Daniels’ “‘Little Puck,” is second to Messrs. Reed and Collier, sud his characterization of Birdie Hoss is something enjovable. James P, Gentry gives a capital interpretation of the Yunkee sheriff as Hauks Tbaoks; Louise Allen as Sybil Cerves delights the saudience with her Kkangaroo dauce in the first act snd again in the second with her Spavish dance. Belle Muny's rich contralto ginging is such as to pluce her a favorite with the sudience at once. Adele Farrington has a sweet soprano voice that is thoroughty and carefully culti- vated. Mrs. F'red Hooker displays unusual ability as Mrs. Lobella Hoss, the wife of the judge, and Helena Collier and Lilliau Rams- den, each clover and agile daccers, split houors with each otheg, . 1f you over aitend theithoater and enjoy an evening of delightful GWisic don't fa:l Lo Wit ness the performance of ‘Haverly’'s minstrels which 18 to take placemviBoyd’s new theater on Thursday evening, the 9, for one uight only, upon which occasion Colonel J.

A permanent physical or mental disability not due to “yicious habits.” (It need not haveoriginatsd in the servics.) Fourth. A pensioner under prioriaws may apply under this one, or a pensioner under this one may apply under other laws, but cannot draw more than one pension covering ths sams period. Fifth. An applicant under other laws may obtain pension un- der this one, and at the same time go on with the pros=cution of theol claim. The receipt of a pension under this law doss not deprive him of any rights under other laws or in any claim filed pravious to this one, or at any time hereafter. He may apply for and bein receipt of a pension under this law while collecting the evidencs necessary to prove up any ¢laim he may have under other laws without any prejudide to either claim. This is not a “Pauper Law,” and the pecuniary circumstances of the soldier have no bearing upon his rights. If sufficiently disabled for manaal 1&%or, rich and poor ara entitled alike.
