some Cats.
fCincinnati Enquirer.l

When Ben DeBar was manager OF the st.
Charles Theatre In New Orleans about seven
years ago. he was frequently annoyed bv the
passage OF cats across the stage during The
performances, The place was infested with
rats, and three large toms were kept busy an
the season looking after them. But, useful as,
these cats WERE IL became absolutely necessary
to suppress them. They had been allowed SO
much license that hardly q night passed
but they would with arched backs and
measured tread move In solemn procession
performance Into a farce. DeBar at last
adecreed that they should be banished up stairs
to the flies during performances and should
be brought down only for the purposes OF
business. The stage carpenter made g Kind OF
tenement for them by throwing an old diiapf-
dated scene across what In theatrical pariance
Is known as the 'gridiron"-that is, the frame
which holds the scenes In position. Here the
cats were able to roam at pleasure. and their
new quarters seemed to suit them verywell.
They multiplied rapidly. and were nightly WIS.,
tied BY cats from the neighborhood, to whom
they kept open house." One night however,
there was an unusually large assemblage, and
their weight being greater than could be sup
ported By the rotten old scene that formed the
platform for their promenadinR. the canvas
scene in Faichot they were preclpitated upon
the stare. It literally rained cats. The aston
tshment OF the audience, who. OF course. were
ignorant OF the cause Of the catastrophe. may
well be IMAGINED. as well as the uproarious
merriment which greeted such novel incident.
The actors did not escape unScathed. More than
one OF them was severely scratched. and that
night there Was an extraordinary run on the
property man for 0eeh-colored couxtplastef.
