M. HEENAN 38 EAST MAIN STREET. DOG DAYS ARE COMING. Pioposal to Make the Registration Fee an Annual Tax. The matter of tne enforceucent of the ordinal ce for the registration of dogs and the disposition of homeless cauitcs.

Is Mill a vexed question, and Is attracting the attention not only of the aldermen and the oflieers of the Humane Society, which up to a short time ago was charged with the enforcement of the ordinance, but the dog -owning and dog-harboring public as well. Itev. Janies II. tenuis, the president of the Humane Society, yesterday stated the position of that organization in regard to the matter. Paid he: "The Iluuuuie Society Is anxious to have the matter settled.

It Is Imperatively neces-sjiry that the ordnance bo enforced. It Is a useful ordinance and the mber of dogs Is constantly Increasing and they cause the police and others much care. The Humane Society Is anxious to go ahead with the work or enforcing the ordinance. We desire to billd a pound which will be a credit to the city, and If an arrangement Is made with the city it is our intention to construct a building adapted In every ay to the requirements and sightly. Under the law, the dogs have to be kept for three days, and we already Lave all the modern approved appliances for kennelling the outcasts while In our charge, end of disposing of them In a humane way when it becon-es necessary.

No dogs are dispatched when It Is jjossible to avoid It, and hones are found for many of them In the country where they are ut-eful. The place we Intend to build will be In no sense a nuisance, and will be especially adapted to the work and similar to the pounds which are conducted by the humane societies In the thickly inhabited portions of New York city, Brooklyn and Buffalo, and to which no objection is made. "It will require all of the money we have on hand, to build and equip the plant lnthe manner we Intend to do it. If the work in Intrusted to us. A steady and assured income Is then needed for the salaries of the superintendent and an assistant and office expenses.

The overseeing of the work, which Is a large item, will le done gratuitously by the ntiubers of the committee of the society. It seems best to us that the city follow in the wake of otter cities, and amend the ordnance so that the registration fee shall become an annual tax of, say 5 cents or a dollar, as may be determined by the common ccir.cil. Neither sum would be oppressive, and any person who cares to harbor a dog can afford to pay as much as that annually for the privilege. The society Is now, and vi as before the ordinance was adopted, at largo expense for the care of dogs from wlich It receives no revenue whatever. Orders are continually received at the Shelter for the agent of the society to go out and destroy or injured dogs and to remove stray canines.

"It is not Uie object of the society to make money out of the city. If the common council will agree to remunerate the society for any loss It may incur in the enforcement of the ordicocce, the society will enter into any ar-rcngeutnt the council may suggest. While It seems to us to bo the wisest course to levy the tax as suggested, charge the sciety with the enforcement of tho rdir.aiu'e and hold the society strictly responsible for such enforcement, stiil if tho city desires It, wo are wiiling to consider any other arrangement. We cannot sign a ccntract on uncertainties, and such a proceeding would not be businesslike. "Iu the city of Buffalo, the Humane Society is an appropriation of I think that is.

the amount, anrually, and with that sim the society maintain the pound and enforces the ordinance, lu the cities of New York and Brooklyn, there is a state law which places the enforcement of the dog law lu the Lands of the humane societies of those cities and an annual tax of $2 on each canine Is collected. The State Humane Society has instructed its legislative committee to use its to secure the passage of a law during the present session, wlich will extend the proiious of the New York-Brooklyn law to all of the cities of the state with over inhabitants." HOW MUCH FOR COAL? Upton Company Say the Present Price, the Mayor Saya No. At the first ruevtiug of the new board of education held two weeks agt to-morrow night, it was reported by the concessioners in whose wards the scliiools are located that schools No. 10 and 27 vere nearly out of coal. As there was no money iu the fuel and fire fixtures fund, $200 w-as on motion transferred from the Free Academy fund, and the local commissioners authorized to purchase the necessary coal at the contract price.

That is the last that has been heard of the matter by the public until now, when it appears that Upton Company proiose to change the present retail price, for all coal furnished the board of education since the expiration of the terms of olRce of the members of the old board. The commissioners claim that the contract with this coal firm was for a year and hold that it is binding until May next, and Mayor Warner rpholds them in this claim, while Tpton Company are as positive that they can not be -inpcllcd to furnish a ton of coal at a lower figure than it is lieing sold for at present to other private individuals and business concerns. The records of the board of education show that at a meeting held June 10, 1S95, a resolution was adopted on the recommendation of the fuel and fire fixtures committee, authorizing the president to eontrcct with the E. M. Upton Coal Company at the rate of 2.8.1 per ton for coal for the ensuing year.

The advertisement of the board of education, which was published for two weeks previous to the adoption of the resolution referred to, and to which Upton Sr Company, among other firms, responded with their bids, read as follows: "First For furnishing "OO tons, more or less, of anthracite grate coal; 2..100 vn. more or less, anthracite, egg. stove and nut coal, free from foreign materials, well screened ami in first-class order, delivered at the cellars of the different public school buildings, housed anil trimmed. the fuel and fire fixtures committee may direct, during the school year 1S0." 0." Accused of Stealing a Coat. John Clancy, charged with stenlinj; a cont and vest from John Snow, was arraigned in police court yesterday morning.

The defendant was represented by Attorney Butts. Snow says thnt he lives on East Main street, and that when lie leaves the room be is accustomed to place the key under the mat. He was firm in the conclusion that Clancy was the one who had entered bis room and stolen the coat, because the defendant was the only man ho had a license to go in there uninvited. Ernst adjourned the case until Tuesday. All Wool Pants to Order for $3.50 At Wicbmann's.

It Will be a Reality Next Season, as Far as Sea Breeze at Least. There appears to be no doubt that the proposed new electric road from Suminer-ville to Forest Lawn will be built the coming spring and completed for the sum mer's business, at least as iar as Breeze.

A meeting of the stockholders ill be held some evening this week, when plans will be more definitely made, but present indications point to a road along the lake shore instead of one on paper, be fore many months have passed. LoCraud Brown, who is employed by the financially interested parties to do the necessary preliminary draughting, and as much more of their work as may le necessary, which will probably mean the en tire charge of the construction of the road, has completed the plans of the road and is how working on the estimates, which, when completed, will be submitted to the promoters of the scheme at their next meeting, and will no doubt govern them materially in their decisions and farther procedure. The plan provide for the road to follow the lake shore closely with the exception of about a mile and half of the distance, a half mile at the Sumnierville end, and the last mile from the Oklamcna hotel to Forest Lawn. The company is expected to use the Windsor Beach railway company's traks from the beach to the curve just Ix'low the Home and Watortown cross ing over the boulevard, where it proposes to turn to the east and following the driveway which skirts the south edge of the woods on the bluff and the proposed extension for about a half mile. The road will then approach the lake shore and follow the beach just inside the Rome and Water-town tracts, all the wiy to the hotel men tioned, which is about a mile and a half east of Sea Breeze.

It has been practically decided to nse double-truck cars on the new road. Thev will be 34 feet in length, and with seats running crosswise, similar to the cars on the Sea Breeze road, and will have a seat ing capacity of sixty. Two thirty-horse power motors will furnish motive power. These double truck cars are thought to be better on account of the small amount of oscillation which characterizes them, and the resulting increase of speed possible, with the greater comfort resulting to passengers. It has been sugested that one or more cars known by railway men as "double deckers." might be made to pay on the road, and the only objection to the experiment seen so far is that the road must pass under the Rome and Water- town at a point near the Okla-nona hotel.

which would not allrwr a car the height of the "double decker" to run under. It is very likely, however, that one of these cars will be run. at lent from Windsor Beach to Sea Breeze, and perhaps to the overhead bridge, as a novelty and a drawing card for the road. A meeting of the parties interested in the new Glen Haven electric road will also be held during the week, and (something definite Tvi'il no doubt follow soon. It is not improbable that the double-truck cars will nlso be adopted by that road.

The Glen Haven road will experience no de4ay on account of difficulty in obtaining a right of way, as they already Tiave it. and as there are only ifwo persons who object at present to the Forest iJatwn road crossing their property, no (serious trouble is anticipated on this account by that corporation. When rwork is actually commenced it will be pushed rapidly 'to completion, for the eum-nier travel. ILLUSTRATION IN MUSIC High Grade Selections to be Given at a University Extension Course.

Maggie Creed and Thomas Creed had a slight marital disagreement to settle in police court yesterday morning. Maggie says that Thomas spends all the money in other ways than in supporting her, and further avers that when she has protested against this proceeding, Thomas has taken occasion to beat her. Thomas says in his own defense that his wife is a great talker, ami occasionally gives him a "tongue lashing" that is terrible to hear.

Judge Ernst listened to their troubles and then, after giving them a severe lecture upon their conduct in the future, adjourned the case until January 25th in case the complainant should wish to appear upon that date.

GIVEN BY CONGRESS Only Eight Hundred of These Medals Were Struck, and the Soldiers Who Received Them Now Number Only About 200. There is a man living in Rochester, and so far as known only one, who is the proud possessor of what is known as the "medal of honor," which indicates that the owner has distinguished himself by some act of special bravery in the service of his country.

That man is Special Pension Examiner Georce D. Sidman, who has an ofbco in the federal building, and a short sketch of the incidents which led up to his receiving the badge of honor and also of the Medal of Honor Legion, of which he is one of the 223 members, may be of interest, not only to those wii3 know Mr. Sidman, but to all iersoas interested in the service given their country by the surviving soldiers. The medal of honor was first provided for by an act of congress approved July 12, 1S02, which appropriated $10,000 for the carrying out of the resolution, m.d authorized the president to have made 2.000 tokens of special bravery in the service of the United States. Of the 2,778,304 men who served in all branches of the service, on land or sea, during the war, less than 800 have been awarded the medal, and only a few over 200 now live to tell of the heroism of the 800.

The medal of honor is to the Union soldier what the Victoria cross is to the English, the Iron cross is to Germany and the Cross of the Legion of Honor is to the French. It is a patent of nobility which can truly be called priceless, and so jealously has it been guarded at the war department that it has never been issued except upon the most positive proof of some individual act of conspicuous bravery. In August of 1S00. a number of the surviving medal holders got together at Boston and organized what is known as the Medal of Honor Legion, the membership of which numbers 223 and which includes, so far as is known, all holders of the nro senttered widelv over the states' of the Union. Like the Loyal Legion it has two classes, the first of which is confined to the officers and enlisted men upon whom the medals were conferred, and the second including in its membership the oldest son, or, in the absence of a male issue, the oldest daughter of the of the first class.

This descendant and member of the second class takes possession of the badge and becomes a member of the first class upon the death of the father. rfha tTinmspTM! are made of bronze taken from cannon captured in the war and the G. A. It. badge is modeled after it.

In fact, so cosely has the U. A. it. IiqjTo'o ber.n il, to imitate the Legion medal that on several occasions the matter of creating a new medal for the region nas been agitated. Some of the memliers sii.l think that such action will be forthcoming on account of the tendency which exists to confound the two.

On the reverse or eacn medal is engraved the name of the person to whom issued, with his company and the act for he received the medal. Mr. Kidman's medal bears on the reverse side the following: "The Congress to George D. Sidman, late of Company C. Sixteenth Michigan Infantry, for distinguished braverv at the battle of Gaines Mills, June 27.

1802." 'Mr. Sidman was iborn in this city, November 24, 1844, but moved to Michigan with his parents about one year later. He was therefore but little past sixteen- years of age when on April 10. 1861, he enlisted as a "drummer boy in a three months' company which was not called into active service. At the expiration of this enlist-uien he re-enlisted as drummer in Company Stockton's Independent Michigan Infantry, afterwards known as the Sixteenth.

In 1802 bis request to enter the ranks as a private soldier was granted and it was while enlisted as a musician, but while in actual service as a private, that he won the medal of honor. In the battle at Gaines Mills Mr. Sidman bore the colors of his regiment in what is known as the "forlorn hope" rally, and was severely wounded in the hip (hiring the hand-to-hand conflict that followed. Being disabled, and expecting to be captured, he destroyed his musket by clubbing it over a stump and threw bis accoutrements in a ditch. He succeeded, however, under cover of the darkness, in crawling away, but the next day was captured ami put nrsi in Libbv prison, then in Castle Thunder and later was at Belle Island.

In August, 1802, he was exchanged and subsequently rejoined his regiment while he still suffer ed from an open wound, made Tne campaign nrd later the Frederick-burg campaign, in the latter volunteering to act as the brigade color bearer, which honor was granted him. At Fredericksburg Mr. Sidman is acknowledged to have again won a medal of honor and should it be decided to award a medal for each act of special bravery, as has several times been suggested, Mr. Sidman would without doubt be the possessor of two In 1802 at a reunion of ihe Hurd Brigade Association of the Fist Division, Fifth Armv Corps of the Army of the Potomac, held at the time of the national encampment oft he G. A.

R. in Washington, Mr. Sidman presented Ma jor-General Daniel ButterftVld. of that brigade, with a reproduction of the brigade colors which were borne bv the donor nt the battle of Fredericksburg. In presenting the flag, Captain Z.

B. Graham, in referring to the occurrence, said: "Well do I remember that December day in lsc.2, as we stood en masse on Stafford Heights, overlooking Fredericksburg, all ready to cross the Rappahannock, when the First Brigade colors for our brigade were brought upon the field. I can see now the eagerness with which this Comrade Sidman, a mere boy. with scarce the down of manhood upon his chin, sprnng foiward from the ranks and T-egged of me the permission to volunteer to carry those colors. It was granted.

Colonel Stockton in command, admiring bis pluck but deprecating bis youth, finally gave liis consent. Sidman brought them out of that hell of fire, many holes shot in them, him-selw wounded. On his breast he wears the 'medal of honor, a patent of nobility for bravery, far above riches and alKve price." "Since the war Mr. Sidman has held a number of important positions. In lsiltl he wus assistant s.Tsor of interna, revenue at Bay City Michigan, and in wa United States consul at Sclnverin, Germany, but after r.gned.
