Observations ON the Relative Sociability
Of Cats and INSTRUMENTATION.
Louise Michel brought four cats with her
from Noumea to France. They were given
her when she arrived in New Caledonia by a
convict who had served her time and was re-
turning to Europe. The youngest, Moustache,
is now 16, and the eldest, Ninette, is 49, They
were with her at st. Lazare The fourth

to himself and mistress The day she was re-
turning from London he was on the top of
house. When he saw her getting out Of cab,
he, in trying to jump from balcony to bal
cony, fell into the street from the third story
and was so injured that he died in few
hours

morning in crowds to Louises cell to be fed.

feet and seemed to ask her protection for
them. There were rats toothless from age.
When crust was thrown to them younger
rats chewed it, so as to enable them to eat i,
comfortably. Il a young rat was SO ill-brea
as to help itself before an elderly one, the
others were down upon it.
Before the cats had been taught to live In

cording to Louise Michel, there was quite an
explosion of sympathy among her four-footed
visitors on behalf Of the wounded one, and
she gained their confidence by letting it down
with string from her window into the
court, after she had nursed it for about
fortnight When she had been some time in
Jail the rats grew so dainty that they would
not eat plain bread unless she got it toasted
for them. The governor of the prison, who
was most kind to her, and who is a naturalist
and un homme d'esprit, enjoyed her success

amity and to tame the latt II. She could
never domesticate them No sooner had she
fed them than they all climbed up the wall to
the window and passed out thereby to return
to their sewers-Paris Cor London News

TERRITORIAL TIDBITs.
Brief Items OF Interest From All
Parts of Dakota.

The schools OF Dakota are supported en-
tirely by direct taxation, and must be until
the school bonds became available by state
hood. The figures as given In the recent
report of the territorial superintendent are
highly creditable, aud indicate something of
the burden being carried. There are 4, las
teachers in the 20 out of "a organized coun-
ties reported, with 29l graded and 2 .9ss un-
graded schools. There are 2.745 school houses
and a seating capacity of 9O.227. In the
South, the older and more populous section,
there Is a school house to l32 OF population
and In the North to 202. but the value of
school property in the North Is Sl,00s. $50 TO
81 ITq 264 in the South. The expenditure for
schools the past year was S1.sl4. 2l2-well to-
ward s., .000-about 81 for each indl-
vidual.
Presenting that there will be neither divis-
ion or statehood this year. the papers are
beginning TO discuss the question OF the next
delegate. ON the Republican side the names
chiefly mentioned are MIR. Clifford, the pres
ent delegate, Mr.. Kanouse, the prohibition
member of congress elect, and Gen. Allen.

HASTINGS, Mimi, March lin Hastings

of Minnesota's noted horse-trainers, viz.
George p. Smith and Dick Rodgers, and the
stables of both men are filled with famous
steppers; nevertheless. these gentlemen are
somewhat chagrined at the audacity OF Dave
Stern of the New York store who drives his
Tommy right away from their fastest flyers.
In a race this afternoon Tommy won three
straight heats. with Ida May second, and Car

of Mr.. Chamberlain that if he
applies himself TO his profession
with the same diligence that marked
terized him while in the high aud law schools
that he will soon gain the confidence of the
public and establish an enviable reputation.
The proposed motor line of Mr.. Stickney,
uniting his line with Hastings, is the most
popular railroad scheme that has been talked
of here since the building OF the Hastings &
Dakota. Already travelling men have learned
that. with present railroad communication,
they are as near St. Paul as il they lived
there, while rents are not one-third as high,

LAUER,S HEARTLEssNEss.
Sensational Testimony Brought Ont
i'm the Omaha Trial.

Special to the Globe.
OMAHA, March 11.-Nearly 1000 peo-
pie assembled in the district court this
morning to witness the proceedings in the
Lauer trial, among the number a great
many ladies, whom the high social stand
ing of the prisoner and his aristocratic ON
nections had attracted. There were no
sensational developments this mC rning. but
in the afternoon startling facts were brought
to light. 1t developed that talking to a
well-known lawyer the day after the shoot
ing, the following conversation took place.
Baldwin. the man to whom Lauer talked,
asked if his wife was dead when he found
her on the floor:
mo" was the RESPONSE; 81 said she was
still breathing, but it was too evident that she
was dying"
.You picked her up and laid her on the
bed, did your
mo. 1 left that for the coroner"
AS Mr.. Baldwin mentioned this part OF
the conversation a murmur ran through the
audience, which the bailiffs were unable tC
stop. The prisoner didn't move a muscle Of
his face, but kept staring fixedly
at the scroll work on the judge:
bench. Lauer's apparent heartlessness in
making remark like that created a great
deal of comment entirely unfavorable to the
prisoner. The defense made no effort t.
break down Baldwin's evidence by cross
examination, but permitted him to leave
the stand without question. Gen. Calvin
also brought out the fact with terrible EN-
phasis that when people entered the house
after the deed Lauer's hands and clothes
were spotless, showing he made no effor
to raise his wife's head from the pool o.
blood, into which it had fallen after the
fatal shot was fired.
