Rochester's Home Store" Last Day of Our February Furniture Sale With the closing of our store this evening we bring to an end one of our most successful midwinter sales. The number of people who have availed themselves of the special savings is unusually large, and by making heavy purchases at the favorable early prices, we have been able to give remarkable values at a time when advances in price are the rule in all lines of merchandise. Yesterday a large purchase was made by a gentleman and his wife who had looked at the goods early in the sale, but who had postponed decision until the next to the last day. Possibly there are others who have not vet made up their minds. If so, we trust they will consider whether it is not good policy to buy to-day rather than to pay higher prices later.

DOG-LICENSE LAW OPPOSED Monroe Legislators Receive Protest from Officer of Rochester Humane Society Against Measure Applying to Dogs in Country Districts Special Dispatch to Democrat and Chronicle Albany, Feb. Senate Fi nance Committee voted this afternoon to report favorably the nomination of Judge John A.

Barhite, of Rochester, to be a public service commissioner. There is no doubt that the Senate will ratify the report to-morrow so that Judge Barhite may take office on March 1st.

It is but a step to create a large fund from the registration of dogs in cities, to be used to pay for damage to sheep and other animals, which damage is caused by dogs in the country.

"All humane societies and humanely disposed persons are aroused in opposition to any bill which permits any person to kill any or dogs wherever and whenever they seen without a tag. dare as this bill provides. It encourages cruelty. To license and tag a vicious dog does not make him gentle. To license and tag a sheep-killing dog does not change his disposition.

"Should cities be deprived of this fund which is now used to promote and carry on a commendable work? Should Rochester and Syracuse and other cities of the state be deprived of the money realized from dog registration, with which many cities, like Rochester, maintain the city pound and enforce all laws and ordinances relating to animals? "We assure you that the humane people of Monroe county in and outside of the local Humane Society look to you to assist in opposing this piece of legislation."
