prospective greater nearness of cur rela-
tions with the Dominion being especially

SagaciOus Cats.

VIM. ladder, of Reading, Pa, has num-
ber of cats that beat the record for sagacity.
Some time ago he placed twelve hens eggs
under the largest cat, and the animal
stayed by them until they were hatched.
The result was as satisfactory as if it had
been done by mother hen. But the cat
did not take to the chicks, so they were
allowed to care for themselves, and are
doing nicely. Mr.. ladder also has two
cats that will 60 hunting with him. They
will ferret out rabbit with the same apti-

feet, rare species. and will catch fish out

You Can't Get to Europe Now.
New York Sum-

If you haven't bought your ticket you
can't go to Europe this season before mid
summer. The transportation facilities are
greater than ever before, but the craze for
European travel beats anything ever
known. The same story is told at all of
the steamship offices a few berths will be
given up by some whose plans miscarry, but
practically all the lines are booked to their
full capacity up to the middle of July If
the great fleet which will sail eastward
from this port in June could be doubled in
number and capacity every boat would
carry it's full complement of passenger.
The rush lasts from the Middle of Nav un-
til July 10. Then it suddenly stops and
sets in the opposite direction about two
weeks later. All the accommodations on
the favorite boats are engaged for The re-
turn trips between the middle of August
and the middle of October.

Ex-President of the Irish National
League.

Ex-President of the Irish National
League.
A name frequently mentioned of late in
conn ection with the investigation of the
Cronin murder case is Alexander Sullivan,
who has long been a leader in the councils
of the Irish agitators According to the
Cronin faction Sullivan embezzled funds of
the National League while member of
the Clan-na- Gael Triumvate The sub
stance of the charge is that Sullivan went
to Paris and demanded hundred thou
sand dollars of Patrick Egan, of which sum
he..Clan-pa Gael got but eighteen thousand,
it is alleged. Egan denies the one hun
dred thousand dollar story in toto. Sulli-
van was born in 1887. He was elected
President of the Irish National League at
the first convention in Philadelphia in
1888 The next years convention was
held at Boston, when Sullivan declined a
denomination.

The Businses Outlook.

The business situation, taken IA the
whole. il very encouraging at the present
time. The hardening tendency Of the
New York money market appears to have

Shortly after the beginning Of the bicycle
rage it became necessary to pass certain
laws Of restriction as to where these vehicles

The utter disregard the riders of bicycles of

after numerous fatal accidents; but of late

These figures alone are sufficient to show
that the Republicans have a large major
ity In that district, but no one doubts that
Democrat will be returned "a "repre-

the North can do, however, and that is to
keep such close watch over proceedings
there, and secure such testimony Of the
fraud and intimidation which will be
practiced as shall make 1t impossible for
the Bourbons to profit by such shameless
disregard to the constitutional rights
Of citizens. A few wholesome
lessons Of this kind would have a greater
influence on such people than anything
else. When they discovered that there
was nothing to be gair ed by defying the

Of their rights, they would probably sub

Tho Gospel OF Exercise.


There are hundreds of people today lead
ing sedentary lives who ought to profit by
the warning contained in Lord Besconsfeld's
case. Next 20 the gospel of rest, of which
so much has been said, there is nothing more
sadly neglected than the gospel OF exercise.
The man who is compelled to sit all day at
desk in q counting-room and undergo the
anxiety of responsibility and the worry of
business cannot afford to go so without
exercise. He may be pleased to think that
he keeps his skin dry, and that his
limbs do not ache; but the man who exer-
cises his muscles until 4 gentle moisture
shall come over him will feel freshness and
vigor and enjoy a beautiful rest otherwise
unobtainable. Such exercise will aid his
digestive powers and enable him better to
throw OF disease whenever it may come, and
it will save him from dyspepsia, and from
the horrors of a torpid liver, with all the
mental ailments which come in its train. Dr.
Kidd only utters truth which is As old az
the world itself when he says that Nature has
Nemesis power Of revenging herself on
the man of sedentary life.

Mrs. Burnstts' Little Lord rauntieroy

The endeavors Of many critics to prove
that there Is or never can be anything
really new In literature In these modern
times. Is being carried to ridiculous ex-
tremes. At the present time any writer
who attsins popularity is Immediately
shown to have borrowed his best thought
If not indeed his best language from
some venerable relic of antiquity.
Scarcely has one school of critics demon
strmted that Edward Bcllamy's Hooking

the plot, but WAS made up from Fourier's

sources, when new critic makes the
startling announcement that Mrs. Frances
llodgson Burnett IL plagiarist;
that her famous book. Little Lord
Eauntleroy. was really the con-
ception OF Thsckerxy's fertile mind.
IL s claimed that the stories of little
George Osborne aud little Rswden Craw-
ley In "vanity Fair" are almost identical
In many respects with Mrs. Burnett's
story. Attention Is called to the fact
that Little Georges father like Little
Lord Fsuntleroy's was captain in the
English army. lie married a poor but
beautiful aud accomplished girl and like
the son Of the stern old Earl Of DARN
court WAS sternly ordered from the

captains died within year leaving their
widows and infant sons pennile,s and
alone. Both boys were of striking

In both cases this state Of affairs was
brought about by the realization that an
heir WAS wanted, and In both cases the
family solicitors were sent to the widowed
mothers, conveying the most tempting and
advantageous offers In behalf Of the boys.
Again II is most remarkable coincidence
that each Of these grsndfathers should
