COUNTESS DE LA TORE wasrecently arraigned
in London court for maintaining cat nuisance
which, it was charged, was injurious to health
and of many years standing. The Countess con-
fessed she had five cats and fed some stray Ones
and had also two dogs. The sanitary inspector
reported that when the lady was summoned on
the last occasion she had eighteen cats and nine
dogs. The clerk of Kensington vestry remarked
that these animals were shut up in a room and
one could naturally imagine the filthy smell
The bench dismissed the summons.
HENRY IRvING's complexion is gwarthy, and
his face varies in It's expressions so that it is
very difficult to convey an accurate description
OF its many changes. His hair is black and
long, his eyes dark gray and his height slightly
under six feet His shoulders are broad, his fig
ure is well proportional, and his tout ensemble
is thoroughly artistic M. J.ving's features are
not dissimilar to portraits of Mr.. Oscar Wilde,
but he is a more refiued edition of the familiar
type of that eccentric apostle of @stheticism.
Mr.. IrviHg's smile is peculiarly fascinating His
eyebrows are black and heavy, his forehead is
receding but the lower portion of his face is de-
cdedly of a classic cast. His mouth is large, but
shapely. He wears his hair parted slightly to
sir Tic Of 10
stacy He moves, or rather struts, with for
ward inclination of his body, as if he were about
to seize the person whom he addresses.

He is of an old Welsh family in Pennsylvania,
and was originally a chairman under Mr..
Thompson, the first president. He is said to be
worth three or four million dollars. He is some
what advanced in age, though his hair and
beard do not change color. and is of a dark COM
plexion. passion to do all the work and not
cultivatlng means of recreation in youth and
middle life have almost drained his energetic
body. His friends find him surrounded with
law books and authorities engineering and
traffic. At the meetings of rural boards of d.
rectors his Cruel is brought to him during the
business, His integrity and ability univers-
ally admitted. Mr.. Cassatt, who is again being
spoken of as his successor started at the bottom
on the railroad and has come up through every
grade. He learned the art of amusing himself
and throwing off work when it was finished.
Hence he has some Of the exercises of the leis-
urely classes, has race-horse or two, loves the
o EZRA, and can be delighted with joke. His
worldly sense is somewhat like that of Thomas
A. Scott. He has fine health, and enjoys various
classes Of men.
