QUEER BOSTON CATS.
A Feline That Went to School and
Became a Boys Pet.
Our Dumb Animals.

Our Dumb Animals.
A lady teacher in a Boston public
school had a homeless cat come into her
school room. She fed it; of course
treated it kindly, and the cat made the
school building its home. 1t was a
regular attendant at her school, and
soon all the scholars showed an i'll
tereSt in it. They would ask the privi-
lege of taking it to their seats, which
was granted, often as reward to the
deserving but the worst boys would
also desire it as favor. With some
words of caution it was often granted,
and the pet was never abused by
them. Who can tell how far and how
long such lesson of practical kind
ness will be felt in the lives of all the
children who saw it and shared in it?
A popularity in this case was, that
the cat attached itself to one of the
boys who was not known to have shown
it unusual care. and with whom it
would go anywhere and for whom it
would leave everyone else, including
the teacher. When all heads were bent
in devotion, it would step over. or pass
by, others to lay its head upon the neck
of the favored boy.

an individuality in that as in every
human act. Not to be able to do this, is
not, however, a proof of dulIness in
child or man; but when done by cat is
worth noting. A lady in Boylston
street, in this city, had cat which for
years always left its rug and went down
stairs to the front door when its mis-
tress rang, to meet her, if the doors of
the rooms were open; but it took no
notice whatever of the ring of anybody

Whether this tedious wait was due to
some misunderstanding about which

AS her modest figure stood half
facing the dress circle, waiting for the

little note out of the instrument; one

SENATOR STANFORD'S CURE.
How the California Millionaire
Would Abolish Beggary.

The other day l asked the millionaire
senator from California, 'How would
you abolish beggary?'
There is only one way" said he.
DRY up the SOurce-abolish the Ondi-
tons that make beggars. To try to
cure poverty by street CHART! is ike
trying to stop whole in your roof by
hopping up the puddles that gather Oh
Your floor''
asked him if he would specify the
conditions.
YES" he said, Il can vaguely indi-
cate them. Let me say, in the first
place, that it is not millionaireS that
cause poverty. Nobody is worse off be-
cause the VanderbiIts are worth $780,
100000. If they had not the wealth it
would not exist at all. 1t is only in
those communities where millionaifes
are possible that the average citizen has
enough TO eat. Now what causes pov-
erty?
"First-Ignorance of how to save
money. L found beggarS i'll California
Ill 1850, when any man could go out
with tin pan and earn s. before break
fast. When by working three hours a
day man could make his bread and
clothes there were always ShiftleSS
creatures around whom the rest had to
support. 1t is the same way now. The
soil is wonderfully fruitful there.
Merely 10000 men produce all the wheat
of the state and export 100000 tons of
it every year, and yet there are beggarS.
We can cut, thrash and sack wheat at
an expense of IL cents per 100 pounds,
potatoes cost only half cent pound
and flour is only 81 a barrel, and yet
there is want. An important cause is
unthrift. People do not understand
economy or practice it as almost every
rich man has had to at some time in his
life. Ireally believe that there would
be beggarS in the wOrle before night if
$50 gold pieces were to be sown broad
cast every morning, and so distributed
that every man, woman and child was
certain to get some.
''Second-The sale and use of liquor.
As long as there are ten times as many
saloons in this country as there are OF
both churches and schools, and they are
mainly supported by the very poor, the
sources of misery are pretty obvious.
''Third-A lack of manual training
This last need is most serious. If so
many people could be taught trades that
the entire product of this country were
doubled, next year the wages would be
doubled, either in increase of money re-
ceived or in the smaller cost of the
necessities of life to be bought. More
capable skilled handS-that is one of our
greatest needs. My great hope is in
my university, which wish to build so
tall and deep and broad that the rudi-
ments of every useful trade and occupa-
ton may be taught. When everybody
knows how to do some difficult and use
full thing poverty will rapidly diminish"

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 15.--Charles ID.
Bibbins, we'll known sporting man of
this city, and who has always been
greatly interested in pedestrian con-
tests and like athletic sports, and who is
the principal hacker of Prince in the
place with McCurdy, teiegraphed to
New York parties last night that he
would bet $1,000 to $1,000 that Albert
did not walk 621 miles at the recent
match, and furthermore that he could
not walk $50 miles in six days. Mr..
Bibbins strongly suspects that crooked
work has been done, and that the ref
cree, contestants and spectators were
tricked. Mr.. Bibbins claims to know
how the trick could be successfully
worked, but declined to expose it at
present. He also states that A Smith,
who managed the affair, knows how it
can be done, but is positive that Smith
is innocent Of abetting the fraud. In
terday from Mr.. BibbinS, Smith wired
back that he never saw Albert before
the match and never spoke to him in his
life. Some two or three years ago GER
tain sporting men were approached by
stranger, who proposed the following
scheme: He said he knew twin broth
ers who resembled each other SO
closely that that the one identity
was established by the other when
apart. No one, not even intimate
friends. could tell one from the other.
He further stated that they were al
ready fair walkers, and then asked:
why could not one of the brothers be
secretly carried into the dressing room
of his brother Tin a large trunk, for in
Stance) and when the one retireS from
the track let the other take his place?
In that way both of them could be
always fresh and could break all
records. The pool rooms of the entire
country could be worked, and the win
ming of the hackers be unlimited"
This scheme was considered most eX-
cellent one, and the two men were
brought to Omaha. where for nearly
year they were in constant training.
The resemblance between them was
wonderful, and it seemed that detection
would be impossible. Finally some
rupture occurred between the twins and
the sports who were backing them.
They left Omaha and also left $4,000 Of
Indebtedness. Neither one has been
seen here since. 1t is now believed in
sporting circles that the two brothers
worked the snap in Madison Square
garden last week.

AN EDITORS DILEMMA.
Called Upon to Entertain Ladies
Before He Had Finished SHAY.


Jesup (Ga.) Sentinel.
Friday morning we ground up our
barlow razor and commenced to pull
and grin, trying to sh lave. just as we
were half through DR.. g. w. Drawdy
stepped into our Office and announced
that two young ladies wished to honor
our sanctum with their presence. Now,
we could not think of OBTAINING the
ladies, and we were puzzled to know
what to do: We knew that we had
to act quickly, so we told the
doctor to show them up, and we
would try to keep one of them on the
shaved side and the other on the un-
shaved. The doctor went down and
escorted the ladies up.
Our door opened and Miss Minnie
Rumph and Miss Irene PiersOn en-
tered. Miss Minnie advanced, and.
after greeting us in her pleasant stvle'
introduced us to her handsome friend.
Somehow we turned with the shaved
side to the Palmetto star, and how to
manage to keep it toward her all the
time was upperm0st in our mind. Did
you ever try it? If so, you failed like
We did. 1t is just possible. We kept
expecting the df.ctor to give us away
and roar with laughter, but he did not.

New York Sun
c. n. White, chief paymaster of the
New York, Lake Erie & Western Rail-
road company for many years, has re-
signed. He is succeeded by Peter F.
DOnOhue, who was PaymaSter Whites
assistant. When Fisk and Gould were
in control of the Erie Peter Donohue
was FiSk'S Office boy. He was slight
built boy, but his eye was always on
the right side of business.
One day Fisk gave orders to Peter.
who sat at the outside of Prince Erie's
Office in the Grand opera house build
ing. that he would be engaged in some
particular matters and must be out to
every applicant, no matter who it might
be-. At that time John Morrissey and
Fisk were great friends, and Morrissey
happened to want to see Fisk that day
on some important business. Peter
knew of the high regard Fisk had for
John MorriSsey, and the latter was
in the habit. when he called at the Erie
building, of walking into Fisk's Office
unannounced and without ceremony.
This day he was passing when the
three-foOt-and-a-half Office boy rose up
and told the congressman that he
couldn't pass.
"Hew's that?" said Morrissey.
MIR. Fisk is busy and can't see any
body" replied Peter Donohue. g
He'll see me-" said Morrissey. 6
"'No, he won't, insisted Peter.
The persistence of the boy rather nett
tied the ex-priZe-fighting statesman,
and he said testify, taking step toward
the door:
''Do you know who I amp"
Yes" said Peter, coolly; you're
"Well," said Morrissey, II guess Nix
Fisk will see me-" :
With that he swept the diminutiye
office boy aside and strobe to the door.
His hand was on the knob, but he did
not turn it. Peter Donohue sprang on the
broad back of the former athlete and
climbed up it like monkey. He threw
his arm around Morrissey's neck and
gave it a squeeze that shut the big
mans wind off, and forced him to give
an OF his attention to freeing himself
from the determined Office boys grasp.
He finally succeeded, but when the
novel struggle was over the Office bow
stood again between the congressman
and Fisk's door.
MIR. Fisk gave me orders to let no
body in there" exclaimed Peter. "and
you can't go in. That's all there is
about it."
Morrissey's anger quickly gave way
to admiration of the boys pluck and
faithfulness, and, laughing heartily
over his defeat, he went away. He told
Fisk next day about his encounter with
Peter, and how the latter had "downed
him." Nothing in all of Fisk's remark
able career ever pleased HIM as much as
the mill" as he called it, between
Morrissey and Donohue. The boy was
rapidly advanced by Fisk, and one Of
the direct results of his affair with Nor
rlssey is his present place at the head
