MONIES MISPLACED PRIOR JOEEDHAM Former Controller Established Proper Street Fund A Hopeless Tangle. Whether the state's accountants can discover what has become of the 921,000 borrowed from the special street Improvement fund prior to Oct. 1906, and turned into the general city fund is a question that is bothering the city officials. This sum, with interest, now amounts to about $24,000, and must be paid back to the special street improvement fund and bonds, for this sum, now out, are to be redeemed next year, say the city dads. Inasmuch as the money secured by taking it from the street improvement fund and placing it in the general

fund was spent for numerous improvements and purposes, it will be a hard proposition, city officials believe, to find out just how this money was spent. Ed Needham, controller the last two years of Mayor Zimmerman's second term, established the practice of placing street improvement monies in a special street improvement fund, it was stated today. Bonds issued for the improvements were to be paid out of this fund. Before this time, it is stated, monies paid in by property owners aB shares on street improvements, were paid into the general treasury fund, and reappropriated for any purposes necessary. "The practice established by Mr. Needham was followed the three years and ten months of the Schillinger administration," stated former Controller . Webster Parry this morning. "I am positive that the mistake in placing the street improvement monies in the general fund were made prior to Mr. Needham's term of office. I positively know that former city treasurer Nimrod Johnson placed all such monies in the special street improvement fund." " The special accountants are now busy straightening out the muddle resulting from the former lax system of bookkeeping. They will have their report ready in a short time, but if they wor kon the books again to find out what became of the money collected on waivers and paid into the general fund instead of the special street improvement fupd their work will be greatly prolonged, and the bill against the city correspondingly greater, and it is' doubtful if they could ever learn where all this money w ent to.

Dickens' Resemblance to Tennyeon. Some of the great writers of the last century seem to hnve resembled each other in physical appearance as well as in genius. Mr. Comyns Carr iu his "Eminent Victorians" states that he was struck at one of Dickens' readings by the resemblance of Tennyson. Afterward, on seeing a pencil drawing which Millais made of Dickens after death, he found the likeness to the poet still more marked, and on the sketch being shown to Tenuyson he, too, observed the resemblance. He gazed at it curiously for some minutes, then exclaimed: "Why, this is a most extraordinary drawing. It Is exactly like myself." And Lady Dorothy Nevill in her "Reminiscences" tells of a painting purchased by a friend of "hers as a portrait of Browning. It was afterward found to be a portrait of Dickens, made by an artist friend at Gad's Hill.

Quts and Ins of London. When tho late Franklin Fyles first visited London he told his traveling companion as they rose from breakfast the first morning that he would have to be gone most of the day. "I've got to see a doctor and a lawyer to whom I have cards of Introduction." he explained, "and there are a couple of dramatic critics here who've written me to call as soon as I reached town. Then I'm going- to hunt np Goldsmith's grave down In Temple Gardens. I'd rather see that than any other one thing In England." A few minutes past 10 Mr. Fyles walked into the hotel again, and. to his friend's surprised look, merely said: "Doctor and lawyer and critics all out. Only man at home was Oliver."

"I'm trying to write five pages on Bob, but he won't be still." replied the little fellow. Indianapolis News.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The most important action taken by the meeting of the Richmond Humane Society, called for last evening in the court room of the court house by J. K. Iliff, its president, was a motion iriEtructing the Secretary, Mrs. Frank Clark, to send a communication to the County health officer, Dr. J. E. King, asking him to rescind the recent order icr the establishment of a dog quarantine, since its advisability was questionable and its results injurious to tht dogs. The first meeting of the organization for some years was held last evening with a large attendance despite the fact that many who would have been present were unable to attend on account of the high school commencement. In Btating the reasons for the call of last night's meeting, J. E. Iliff said that he had received a petition feigned by 125 residents of Clay townehip protesting against the muzzling cf dogs and stating that since no case of rabies had been reported in that fcection of the county, the quarantine cider worked a hardship on the farmers and did no good in any direction. Mr. Iliff in opening said: "The object of this meeting is to

consider the muzzling, imprisoning end destruction of dogs under the new health law. There is no question as to

lhe paramount importance, of the public health. We should rejoice over the advance of sanitary truths and sanitary laws. These are far better than the old superstitions as to the supernatural causes of diseases. "There are three domestic animals upon which man has depended for ages the cow, the horse and the dog. The cow furnishes food for the family, the horse helps man to plow and reap and to transport his crops to market. The dog watches the herds, helps hunt feame for food, guards the tent or hut, t-hrelds the children and warns the family of the approach of danger. "More than that. He became the social pmpanion of man and helped our roraote ancestors to develop sentiments of loyalty and devotion. The deg has helped to develop our present civilization. He has been the friend of the outcast, the wanderer, the exile, the vagabond and he was as faithful there as when he became the companion of kings and the friend of great roets and philosophers. "The dog has status in law. He tociay has more recognition in law, is n.'ore protected by law, than human icings were seventy-five years ago in this country under slavery." To show the feeling that exists against the torturing of dogs through muzzling them in hot weather Mr. Ilsft stated that one farmer shot a Kood Scotch collie rather than permit it to suffer. Mr. Iliff further stated that it was his belief that there had not. been a genuine case of rabies in this section for fifty years and that he doubted if any physician here had ever seen one. The speaker referred to Pasteur, the great French scientist, saying that the latter stated that cases of hydrophobia were rare. That over four hundred dogs had been killed by the police recently in this community and that it had not been demonstrated any one of them was actually affected with rabies. Rreceding Mr. Iliff's remarks, Mrs. Clark gave a short resume of the his-

basis, the society incorporated and active work engaged in during 1S94 and 1895, but that since that time interest had lapsed and there had been no meeting since 1903. That the official personnel included a president, secretary and treasurer, with seven vice-presidents, these offices being abolished later. That after incorporation the affairs were under the direction of sixteen directors, the original appointees being: Rev. I. M. Hughes, Dr. T. Henry Davis, Mrs. Allen Jay, Mrs. Frank Clark, Mrs. Anna M. Yaughan, Judge William A. Bickle, Dr. W. S. Dempsey, John D. Vaughan, John F. Robbins, B. B. Johnson, J. E. Iliff, Frank M. Clark, Dr. Hoover, Father D. J. McMullen and John F. McCarthy. A general discussion was entered into, following the president's remarks, as to the effect of the county order in particular and the matter of hydrophobia in general. Dr. Mora Bulla was called on by the

president and asked to make

specific scientific statement with reference to hydrophobia, Dr. Bulla saying, in effect, that hydrophobia was not caused by lack of water but because of infection and that if it was desired to ascertain whether a dog was actually affected with the rabies he should not be shot through the head as this destroyed those portions of the brain which would indicate the

presence or the disease. That he thought genuine cases of rabies were rare and did not think Dr. King would disregard any overwhelming senti-

ficer for this city was mentioned and

definite action postponed until the next meeting when the matter will be fully discussed. The president adjourned the meeting to his call which will be soon. The inte.est shown and attendance indicated the recognition of the need of a rejuvenation of the organization and this seems to have been successfully brought about. Over three hundred dollars to tho credit of the association on deposit in the Dickinson Trust company was reported.

He Guessed Right. This rtorj- -was told at a prominent club the other day by a man who had met Lord Decles In one of his visits to' London. Although Lord Decies is an experienced and traveled man of the world, he does not believe In throwing away money in those extravagant tips that characterize Americans and that are very often mistaken generosity. The Englishman also is quite able to

some j jajje his own part if his reasonable tips

are taken unreasonably, as was evidenced one day when he had taken a cab to the club.. When he alighted and paid the driver cabby seemed to think his tip was too small. "Wot's this 'ere for, my lord?" said the cabby, regarding with some contempt the coin he held In his hand. "Drink, I should be Inclined to think. Judging by your nose," was the polite and effective reply of Lord Decies as he vanished Into the club. New York Herald.

YOU KNOW THIS IS TRIE

How do you like to be deceived? Many a time you have bought a package of medicine that looked like a great big "money's worth." Then when you got home and took off the wrapper or carton you found what? Just a tall, long-necked bottle with all sides deeply sunken containing about HALF what you would naturally expect from the size of the package! Even if the medicine was good you didn't like the trickery of it, did you? Wish you'd ask us to open any Penslar package and show you the HONEST BOTTLES, they use all thru the line. There is no deception; you get all you expect for your money. The

policy is to play fair; to give full values; to refrain from many deception of the public; to say plainly what any remedy will do, but without exaggeration; and to let you know exactly what you are using. The formula is on the label. This sort of rugged, old-fashioned "squareness' in every little detail is bound to mean that the Penslar Remedies themselves are of the highest quality and that is why we spend our own money to recommend them to you. We KNOW they are the finest that money and skill can produce. REMEMBER IT'S PENSLAR'S.
