A Schoolteacher Who Was Inconsol- able When Her Setter Fannie Passed Away. A g6 cerem atis the talk of the neighborhoo s enacted at the Hotel Marguerite on Larkin street, near 2 Gate avenue, on Friday evening last when ¢ monies were held over the remains of a handsome setter dog that had died during the day. The ov was Miss May F. Bronson, a teacher in the Lincoln evening school. who had owned the dog for more than ten vears and was attached to it to an extra- ordinary exten Several days ago Fannie, as Miss Bron- soncalled the setter, was taken ill with one of those mystericus maladies irom | which dogs suffer and Miss Bronson was in dire distress.

Fannie was decently laid out in the rear of the hotel, and the proprietor, suppos- ing it was all over but the carrying away of the remains, gave & man about the place a considera to remove the car- He had scarcely le‘t with it when Bronson made her apvearance to gaze again on the body of her canine friend. When miss she saw that the remains were ng her lamentations filled the house, and she would not be consoled until th were ht bac A messenger wa dispatched post haste to brine back the man who tina n away the dog, and he was found s he was body in a convenient spot interring the When ail that was earthly of F nie was again in her keeping Miss Bronson_decided to hold a regular funeral, and the d, d ou with as much care as thoug been a child. The bereaved teacher brought in her friends to view th mains and then read something Bible. Yesterday morning she sent #n order to an undertaker for a suitable coffin, and when the body had been arrangzed in i:s last resting-place Mixs Bronson hid ber 1ace in ber hands and burst into tears. The ambulance of a hospital for ailing animals had previously been telepnoned for, and it was arranged that the coffin and contents should be taken to scme convenient spot and buried, which was done. Miss Bronson is surprised that any one should see anything unusual in the desire 10 see her pet” properiy interred, and says that the dog was her constant iriend and companion for so long that she had erown extraordinari'y fond of it EXTRA STREET LIGHTS. Merchants Consider Paying for Center Uluminations an Extra Tax The electric tions whicn have thrown an additional ray of splendor over the business streets, and which the store- keepers placed there at their own expense, are about to disappear as the term for which they were contracted expires. Bo far as Third street is concerned, some of the merchants are willing to continue their use. ‘I for one am in favor of hav- ing the lights burn the whole year round,” zaid B. Katchinski of the Philadelphia shoestore. ‘It improved my business gince it was started so much that Iam zoing to iprovements next month, Yet Ithink the Supervisors shouid make arrangements (0 distribute the livhis over appropriate from the the business poriion of the City in such a ey 82 to encourage trads.

YelL we are anxious to see the City come to the front and do the | spirited thing by its business people, and | this is to lizht up the business streets, Ninth sireet has shut off the light alto- | gether. This, however, was more through | a personal disagreement as between con- sumers and the electric company. There- fore the lights on that street will not be turned on again unless the City agrees to pay for them. The same condition of affairs exists on the other streets which had been iighted e e A MASTIFF CLUB FORMED. Sportsmen Who Are Interested in the Noble Breod Elect O fii- cers.

Away back in the early fiities, before the war and before the ominous rumors of | war, the bride’s father, ex-Sergeant | { Lange, and Major Lewis Smith were en- | listed men in the same battery of United | States arullery. They knew each other | intimately, as only old campaigners on | the fiald can know one another. The years as they sdvanced deepened and strengthened their old-time friend- ship, but the mighty events of the period | from 1861 to 1865 changed their conditions | of rank in the service. | Lewis Smith, who entered the service of | Uncle Sam as a private soldier in 1851 ‘was promoted to corporal and to sergean In 1864 he was made a commissioned offi- | cer of the Third Artillery, and was steadi- Iy advanced in the regular order of pro- | moticn until he became capsain. ‘When the Fifth Artillery was transferred from this coast to New York, and the | Third ordered from Florida to duty in the harbor of San Francisco, the old-time friendship between Smith and Lange was r newed. In due course of time Smith was promoted 1o the grade of major, and | assigned to the Fourth Artillery stationed | at Washington Barracks. | Promotion in the army did not come to | Lange as it did to Smith, because he was | not ordered to the scensswhere promo- | tion is gained. He served, however, with credit and honor—put by a store of his savings for the autuma of life, and estab- lished for himseli a comfortable home near the beautiful Presidio. Children | came to bless him and brighten his lite, and one of the “sweetest things that ever grew beside a human door” was bis daughter Agnes Ruth. The recent revival of theold-time friend- | ship belween the veterans of ante-bellum ays brought Major Smith to the eharm- | ing home of nisold comrade, Ordnance ( Sergeant Lange., There the major met | tie beautiful and accomplished daughter | of his old companion in arms, and per- haps as Othello did told stories of strange adventures and moving incidents by flood and field. ‘Whether the story was told in the home or in the groves of the serene Presidio, | Agnes Ruth listened, and listening loved | the Major’s discourse. Indue season she named the day in response to the Major's | wooing, snd so on Wednexday next the | wedding bells will chime. | The gallant soldier who won his ad- | vancement from the ranks to the position of major of artillery will i to a home in the East, Next vear he will attain the age of 64, and then retire to | enjoy life free from the cares of camp and | garrison duty. | In fact, the Major will bave nothing else in the wide worid to do but love bis worthy wife and diaw his retired pay. It is trne that the Government only allows three-fourths of the active duly pay to| one retired, but there wiil remain for the | Major and his bride a full measure of | matrimonial bliss to offset the one-iourth deduction in pay. The romance Is #0 sweet and gentle and simple that all of the Major's brother of- ficers of high and ordinary degree will ex- tend to'him and his beautiful bride the most sincere of congratulations. — ““Forgery and Its Detection.

September wneat moved up 11{ cents yesterday, but the advance, so the vrokers say, was:lue to activity in foreign markets and in no way connected with the Chicago trouble. .

As faras is known the Chicago nervous- and must exhaust itself within a very short time, as the new crop will begin to move with n at most thirty da; thus relieving the pressure on the ‘'shorts.” Btilla good deal might take place within that time should the price continue to go skyward.

NEW TO-DATY: ‘woman never really knows the mcanin, of. hagpiness sl content until she is ;h:l‘:“:” of a healthy, happy child. ghe never reaches the full de- gree of womanly de- velopment untii she has felt the pleasing responsibilities of maternity. All this happiness may be marred or may be turned into misery if the child is not a healthy child. The health of the child depends on the health of the mother, both before and after birth. Heredity is strong, and it is every woman's duty to give her children the best possible chance in life. Nothing that she could pos- sibly give them can be as valuable as health. Wealth cannot be enjoyed without health. Nothing can be enjoyed without health, Health is life. , People who are not healthy are only half alive. The child who starts out with a robust body and vigorous, virile health, has everything to be thankful for and nothing to be afraid of. You caunot expect such a child to spring from l\'e.s‘k and sickly mother. Most all of woman’s weakness and particularly the weakness that most strongly influences the health of ¢hildren, comes from some derangement or disease of the distinctly feminine organs. All such trouble is as unnecessary as it is terribly distressing. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will cure all troubles of this nature. There is no guess-work about this statement, and there is no qualification. The *‘ Favorite Prescription’’ should be used promptly and persistently ;mu‘l the symptoms entirely disappear. In every Chse. it restores perfect health and strength and assists in the healthful and regular g.;r- formances of all the natural functions. The * Favorite Prescription ” should be taken regularly by every woman during the entire period of gestation.
