The cruelty to animals case, men tion of wnich was made in The Tele graph of yesterday, has not been dis posed of, though it was called in the recorder's court yesterday morning. In the partial trial yesterday a new factor crept into the case. When M. X. Wilson sold the horse to Wes Jack- son for $15 with the understanding that if the horse lived he should re ceive the money, the animal had a very sore place on its shoulder. Jackson secured the services of Raymond Cooper, who is supposed to be a veterinary surgeon, and Cooper went to work on the horse. Later the horse fell and broke Its leg, and this got so bad the neighbors complained of the sight of the animal suffering. It was here that Officer Avant went out to shoot the horse provided he could get the consent of the owner. Jackson would not give consent for fear Wilson would make him pay for the horse. Wilson would not consent because he said the horse belonged to Jackson. On this state of affairs the case was made against Wilson. In his statement to the recorder yesterday morning. Wilson said he wanted the horse shot to end his suf fering and so telephoned the city hall officials, but no one seems to have re ceived the message. In continuing the ease, the recorder intimated that if the horse was Im mediately shot, that fact would be duly considered in the final disposi tion of the case, and by this time the horse is probably dead.

Some revelations of the operations of a high-class "loan office” are made-by a writer in the "Reader." It is with the loan office that most of the aris tocratic pawning is done in England. One of the proprietors of such an office was Induced to talk about some of the transactions in which the firm has been concerned. "The aristocracy,” he said, "are not quite so simple-minded as most people suppose. Only one day last week a young lady of title had been 'plunging .at bridge.' with the result that she owed £S00 when she loft the tables. It was impossible for her to consult her husband, who is a mail in the Guards, with hardly more than enough to keep their little house in Pont street going comfortably, so she came to us—and, curiously enough, we had only a few weeks before had a visit from her hus band. who had lost heavily over ■ a horse. The jewels that this wide awake society dame was anxious for us to accept as security we discovered were a portion of a ‘dummy’ set, such as most women have nowadays. She seemed quite surprised that w’e should wish to test the security offered, and when found out, she only laughed, and exclaimed that she thought either set would do. One was worth upward of g£2.000, while the other was worth Jly as many shillings. "Not infrequently we have been ked to advance money upon the ace of the person needing it mak- r'taff a bnililAnt and wealthy marriage. "Some months ago a lady brought her daughter with her one afternoon, one of the prettiest voting women in London soeietv and asked us. as she was hard up and unable to pay her heavy dressmaking bills, to advance her .£1.000 on the chance of her daugh ter marrying a very rich man. We ad vanced her the sum she asked. Her daughter made a brilliant match, and three or four months after she sent us a check. "One of the most romantic things that have ever happened to any of our clients occurred with reference to a well known French comtesse. She had come over to London for the season with her husband, and must 'have been betting very heavily, for a week after the Derby she was announced and on entering, told us that she must have £ 10.000 by the end of the month. As wit’ll so many women, the only security she could give was her jewels, and those she knew she could not part with in sufficient numbers without their ab- PHILADELPHIA. Pa, March 21.— The store of Joseph Tusa, a fish deal er at No. 830 Christian street, was wrecked tonight by a bomb supposed to have been thrown into the piace by "Black Hand” agents. Tusa and his daughter were in a reaY room when the bomb was thrown, but they escaped serious Injury as did the family of Giovanni Ragollo, who occupy rooms over the store. About a mouth ago Tusa found a note under the front dn.,r of his store when ho opened the place in the morning. The note was, signed "Black Hand” and demanded the payment of $1,000. Tusa was warn ed that he would be severely dealt with if he failed to pay the money. After discussing the matter with hts family, Tusa concluded tiie note had been put under his door by boys or some practical joker. He destroyed the note, but afterwards told the po lice. The bomb which was thrown into the store is supposed to have been loaded with nitro glycerine. The bulk of the windows and doors of the store were blown out, the floor ripped up and all the shelves with their weight of pro visions fell. The explosion roused the Italian settlement and the business men are terrorized because a similar bomb was thrown into a store less than two blocks from tho scene of tonight's explosion on Monday a week ago. The police have been unable to learn any thing about the bomb throwers. DOINGS YESTERDAY !' ASHBURN MERCHANT VOLUNTARY BANKRUPT James A. Smith, a merchant of Ashburn.

One venerable weakness of cultured pqople Is that of standing in awe be fore anything hailing from east of Suez and adorned with a job lot of consonants and vowels. Not long ago it was somebody like Swamivivlconun- drum that terrified the "brainy.” Then It was a Buddhist priest from Japan. The awe soon spread beyond the nar row confines of the Intellectual world and crept insidiously into the hearts of men—that is, ordinary citizens—so that jiu-jitsu found the Western world prepared to receive it with the servil ity and credulousness demands by Ori ental potentates, real and figurative. Jiu-jitsu came. It stood in the same relation to Anglo-'Saxon fisticuffs and catch-as-catch-can as the Grand Lama of Tibet does, or did, to an African Methodist exhorter. It was held to be uperior to wrestling and sand-bag ging as a Japanese cloisonne vase is to a Jersey City imitation. Strong men went down before it in paralytic terror of its misty origin and name. Babes and cripples pitched giants prostrate upon the mat with its rules. And then the fear of a Japanese invasion smote the Pacific coast and sent the land staggering into the throes of an earth quake. There was only one way by which the spell could be broken; some inno- the game.
