From Paris the latest automobile
i . fad has come , and the dog that goes
motoring with his master or mistress
will hereafter wear goggles , coat and
cap In New York just as his European
brother has been doing for several
YE'ars.
Women will be very prompt to take
up this new fad , the automobile supply
dealers believe. It has lone been a
- custom in France to protect pet dogs
with the peculiar outfit oC the automo'
billets , and it is contended by those
who have set the fashion that a dog i
needs such protection quite as much
, , , ( as a human bemg. It is argued that
-
the clog's eyes are even more suscop-
Uble to the Injurious effect of wind

Lap dogs , accustomed to the atmosphere -
sphere of a house , cannot stand the
chilling effect of the draught created
by the swift motion of the automobile
on country roads , it is asserted , and
for this reason they must have an nu-

their chase for privateers and other

"After a run of ten hours the ship's
officers held a consultation. The , almost .

coal pile for eighteen months , waiting
for a ship to come that had to have
it. Ho observed from the height of
the Vanderbilt above the water that

would not dare risk a storm while

not surprise him a bit , and he soon

THE ! COW WAS CURIOUS.
She Visited a Saloon , a Store and a
Hotel 1 During Her Promenade.
The proverbial bull in the china
shop was literally outclassed last
night by a re'wll1oufcow \ that broke
away from Its herd and raided two
stores and a botch near Sixteenth and
Market streetfl
The cow belonged to a herd which
was being driven east on Market
street. When the anlmc.l reached
Seventeenth and Market streets , the
cow became stubborn and refused to
follow its companionR. It troth : ! ; away
and before the drovers could stop It
entered the saloon of Edward Cronin
at 1618 Market streeL
There were sixteen or eighteen men
lined up around the bar , and when
"Sookie" ' strolled calmly in many or
them imagined that a friend of the
nether gillni : : had taken now form.
There was a wild scamper and the
place was deserted In a minute. After
knocking n few glasses tram the bar
the cow left ) the place
It then calmly strolled Into the dry f
gOQc1s store at 1616 Market Atrcet A
number ofwomen were In the store
shopping , and those that wore red
dodged out of sight In the twinkling
of an e'e. ; Then the others followed
within a minute Inter.
Then the cow left the store and
sauntered Into the woman's entrance . .
to the Keystone hotel , a few doors
away. Night Clerk Hoff threw up
his hands and fled. The animal 'S alkb

scattered the guests in the dining
room. In the kitchen three women
cooks dropped pans and dishes and
skipped out of "Sookie's" way
Then the cow tried to go npRt.alra.
The staircase was narrow , however ,
and It became fast about half.way up.
With the help of several men the cow
was pulled downstairs by its tall.
