The bribed New York aldermen evil
IDENTIFY thought that they had securely
covered their tracks. and laughed at
the efforts of the Senate-investigating
committee to trace any corruption
fund to their pockets. A single terrifi

be- running to cover like a covey of

this new light on the subject, not

San Francisco Tabtfss'
[Alta California;
The methods that some people employ
to make living are peculiar. For in
stance, there is one man in this city who
makes a comfortable living by supplying
cats with their daily food. Almost every
business office and wholesale store down.
town has from one to four cats who are
necessary for the protection OF the prem
ises from the depredations of rats. These
cats formerly were fed by the porters or
office boys, who often neglected them,
and as a consequence the advent OF
the cat-man, as he Is called, was
hailed with delight. Every morning, soon
after the stores are opened, a pal e-faced,
middle-aged Austrian may be seen wan
dering around California, Front and ad-
jacent streets carrying with him lsrgs
can of milk and basket Of meat. All or
the principal places are OF his list he Is
so quiet in his work that his presence is
noticed by few other than his feline
patrons, who always greet him with
every evidence of recognition and pleas
ure. He speaks few words to the cats to
quiet their outburst of welcome, then
fills a saucer full Of milk, leaves little
meat close by, and proceeds to the next
customer. He is paid twenty five cents
a week for feeding each cat, and should
there be litter of kittens the tax is ten
cents additional. The cat-man is sharp
At times the cats will stray from their be-
longings and seek more congenial quar-
ters. When the purveyor comes around
in the morning and notices the absence of
his customer he Immediately starts on q
still hunt for her, and the wanderer is gen.
orally found and returned to her proper
home. However, if the cat can not be
found another is soon substituted, and in
this way his lis. of customers is not less
ened. The cat-man uses about ten gallons
of milk and fifty pounds of meat each day,
and has an assistant to help him. Several
dogs are also provided with meat.

The Youth Backed Out First.
IN. Y. Sunl

A young lawyer of Ellaville, Ca. ban
tered young woman at social gather
ing to marry him. TO his evident sur
prise she told him to get the license. He
wouldn't be bluffed, and got the license at
once. while others of the party sent for a
clergyman. He knew nothing of the joke,
and when the pair entered the parlor arm
in arm he thought it strange that the
spectators laughed. But he began SOL
emnly, while the party wondered which
of the two would weaken first, and the
contracting parties each wished that the
other would ask the minister to stop.
When the first question was asked the
young man concluded that the affair had
gone far enough, and he broke ranks and
fed. much to the young woman's relief.
