BALTIMORE. —This city has erected and recently unveiled a beautiful decorative fountain at the intersection of Fallaway and Guilford avenue, In commemoration of the covering of Jones Palls, the building of the Falls-

.way and the redemption of the land. This fountain Is possibly unique, in that It has provision for thirsty cats and dog& in the shape of a small trough just above the level of the walk that surrounds the structure. It has a large trough for horses and a bubbling fountain for human beings. The provision for cats and dogs was made at the suggestion of a fashionably dressed woman who walked into the office of the chief engineer when Plans were being prepared for the commemorative fountain.

“1 understand It will be for horses and pedestrians,” she said, *hnd I came to ask you not to forget the cats and dogs.” She refused to give her name, but the suggestion has been carried out. The fountain is adorned with the figure of a tn a sitting position. She holds an urn and from this the water is kept continually flowing, n»tnny to the minds of generations that old Jones Falls is still running beneath the FaUsway. The decoration was designed by Hans Schuler. The figure is seven feet high. The fountain was designed by Andrew J. Fietch, the architect It bears the names of all who were Instrumental in the establishment of the Fallsway.
