A Cat Hotel.

One of the New York curiosities is
the cat hotel in Thirt eenth street. The
house in the winter is a bOarding-house
much patIonized by actresses. When
the summer comes the landlords own
family, wife and two children, 90
into New Jersey and spend the hot
season on a farm. Left alone, the
owner pulls up every carpet, disman-
ties every window and bed, takes all
the furniture of the kind that could be
injured with claws and locks it in one
room. In the vacant apartments he
sets up board shelf, running around
the wall, about three feet from the
floor. Then the Cat Hotel is ready for
its summer boarders, and begins to fill
up with felines. There are great
many people in New York who have
pet cats which cannot be carried out of
town in summer. On this account the
Cat Hotel is very widely patrOnized,
and at present there are something
over a hundred feline boarders there.
They are provided with every comfort
in the shape Ofrugs upon the shelves
upon which to sleep, saucers of water
set about in convenient places, regular
anu dDuuOduO LuCdlS anu DdllS, empty
spoOls and marbles with which to re-
lieve the tedium of existence, and stim-
ulate games of romps. They are fed in
orderly fashion the long table is cov-
cred with OilclOth, and saucers of milk
and bread are placed at regular inter
walls Each cat knows its own saucer,
and leaps lightly to its place. There
are parlOr bOarders at this hotel, who
pay extra and get extra care and com
forts. The ordinary price for a cat
who sleeps on a shelf and takes pot
luck with the rest is $3.50 a month,
but nearly every small room in the
house has feline guest, who occupies
that apartment alone, has his or her
meals brought by the attendants, is
rubbed and combed every day, and is
very elegant and exclusive. The
owners of these cat aristocrats pay $40
a month for their luxuries. Cor. of the

Up to Tuesday evening of last week,
over 900 women had presented them
selves in Boston for assessment, with
the view of exercising the elective

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ca:
Gentlemen-Seven years ago contracted
an exceedingly bad case of blood poison. 1
tried physician, the best at command, but
secured no benefit. My throat began to
get sore, and my body covered with sores
and ulcers. Going from bad to worse, 1
felt that my grave must be reached in the
near future. l gave up the doctors treat
ment, and with despairing hope l COM
menced taking your medicine. 1 began to
improve from the first bottle, and in a short
time the ulcers healed, and my skin cleared
off and was entirely well.
One year ago case of catarrh developed
in my system. The physician did his best,
but could not cure me; but two bottles of
Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief.

The Reason Why

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
medicine, they never leave any ill
effects This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from calo-
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements of the liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an III
estimable blessing. d. w. Baine, New
Berne, N. c., writes:
" I suffered long time with stomach
and liver troubles. 1 tried various rem
edies, but received no benefit until !
commenced taking Ayers Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. took them
regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"
Throughout New England, next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.
Dyspepsia
and Constipation are almost universal.
Mr.. GALLAGHER, practical chemist, Of
RoXbury, Mass, who was long troubled
with Dyspepsia, writes:
" A friend induced me to try Ayers
Pills, and, after taking one box without
much benefit, I was disposed to quit
them; but he urged perseverance, and,
before l had finished the second box, [
began to experience relief. / continued
taking them, at intervals, until 1 had
used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say,
that am now well man, and grateful
to. your chemistry, which outstrips
mine"
The head and stomach are always in
sympathy hence the cause of most of
those distressing headaches, TO which
so many, especially women, are subject.
Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of POughkeep-
sic, n. Y, writes that for years She was
martyr to headache, and never found
anything to give her more than tenn
porary relief, until she began taking
Ayers Pills, since which she has been
in the enjoyment of perfect health.

CHICAGO, March l5.-Thirty-two hun
dred miles Of railway were tied up this
afternoon in exactly ten minutes by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen. The entire main line Of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Com
pany and all its branches were brought
to stand still. A stretch of territory
from St. Paul on the north to Ell Paso on
the south-pnctically the.whole breadth
of the United States-is now involved in
the struggle that started between the
Burlington Company and its employees.
A dispatch from Kansas City says:
The engineers and fremen on the
vast system Of Atchison, Topeka and
Santc Fe railroad company went out on
a strike ut 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
strike created intense excitement and
surprise in this city, for the reason that
the road has not been handling Burling-
ton freight. That the strike was ordered
by some one in authority there is no
doubt, but in this city the men profess
utter ignorance Of the issuing Of any
such orders, and say that they may have
quit because they are tired.
