MY NEloHeoRs. CATS.

 Except my Thomas cat The midnight pregnant is of yaowh
 That joggle my repose, vituperativo epithets
 My verbal port o'erdows. I conjure schemes to torture
 My fercely-uttered seats, And VOW there Is no nuis ance like
 My neighbors' Thomas cats. And when come down each day to take My matutinsl meal hear my Tommy's tuneful purr And stroke his back of seal. He opes his eyes, rears up his spine
 To meet my tender pats, And quite assures mo he's unlike
 All other Thomas cats. Last night the caterw auling smote My ear till was craxed, --.s f~,.--- shed tho quilts end savagely s--.. =, The window-sash raised. - = Down on the porch below hurled
 A giant baseball bat And near it in tho morning found

 At home we should begin; A blindness to our own ofienss Cures not anothcr's sin. Our dogs, our pigs, our feline pets,
 Our bairns that some call "brats," Are very lko our neighbors' dogs, And pigs and "kids" and cats. -Wade Whipple, in Richmond Dispatch.

The startling announcement has now reached us that the English syndicate IS to spread its fangs about an unsuspect- ing people and how far-reaching it will be in it's consequences none but those in moderate circumstances can fully realize. They contemplate destroying the beauty of our homes by forming
 GREAT FURNITURE TRUST. The result will be of course high prices. We have been always the enemy of high prices. Our push, energy and honest and business principles have reduced the prices of furniture ill this country at least 30 per cent and we point with pride and confidence to our THIRTEEN HUNDRED AND. sIXTY-NINE
 REGULAR CUSTOMERS to bear us out in this statement. The people wlt6:patroniZe us are intelligent and know exactly what they are buying and the price they ought to pay. We don't advertise to sell goods at half price because honest intelligent people
 KNOW IT CAN'T BE DONE. We don't try to thieve by humbugging the people. We believe Tn telling the truth because it is by this means we have built up our immense business.
 AN ENGLISH SYNDICATE can do nothing against us because we own our establishment. We buy our goods for cash. thus saving all discounts and our facilities for handling goods are such that six men can do the work of ten.
 THR WATERBURY FURNI' URE COMPANY,

 CASH OR CREDIT. Twenty Grand street is the place,
 So don't forget the number; We'll meet you with cheerful face
 While on our styles you'll wonder. You won't be ''bored" to buy-now mind . For liberty we treasure;
 Buy not, as you're inclined,
 We'll wait on you with pleasure.

Negroes I8urn . Store Because They Ars
 Refused Ammunition.


 GREENWOOD, Miss, Sept. 6.-The most dastardly outrage since tho begin ming of the trouble in the upper part of this county was perpetrated by George Allen and his squad of about fifteen negroes by tho burning of Mir. Charles Jamieson's store at Shady Grove. They went there and asked for powder and shot. Jamieson refused to let them have any and they told him they would either burn his house or kill him.

 Further particulars from up the river confirm the statement that four negro leaders who were killed yesterday were killed by Sheriff's posse while resist ing arrest. There have been g great many arrests made, but, as they all proved innocent, they were released.
 The number of hostile negroes is now estimated to be from 100 to 150, and they are in large squads, one of which is led by George Allen and the other by one Backitt.
 The leaders declare that they will not be taken alive.

THE BOSSES BREAK
Several Whartingers Yield to
 the Strikers Demands.
THE CONTEST NEARING THE END
Employers Weakening and tho Men Hope
 full of Entire Success.

Leader Burns Says the Strike Will He All
 Over by Tuesday-Hc Takes His First
 Days Rest-The Strike . Great Blow to
 the Dock Companies-Australia Sends
 Another Large Centrlbution-Sympat
 Not Wanted from America.
 LONDON, Sept. Give of the princi- pal London wharfingers have agreed to the terms demanded by the strikers and work on thelr docks has began with full force. Other wharhngers and many keepers are on the verge of 8 similar agreement and hundreds of men are surrounding each wharf in readiness to go to work when the em- ployers shall reach their inevitable de- cision.
 The Thames has a nvelier appear ance to-day than it has had for weeks past. The men who resume work will each contribute one days pay to the strike fund for the benefit of those still idle.
 Mr. Burns declares that the men have given tho directors of the dock compan- ies crushing blow, between wind and water, from which they will not soon recover.
 The striking dock laborers, through their managing committee, give notice that resolutions of sympathy, unaccom- panied by cash, excite no enthusiasm amongst them. With considerable bit terness toward America and the Ameri. cans, they contrast the large sums sub- scribed for their cause ill Australia and the empty resolutions of sympathy and brotherly love with which the Ameri- cans contented themselves.
 Burns says that by Monday or Tues day next the strike will be over, and the men at work all along the line. The cheers that greeted Burns at Tower Hill this morning were heartier than ever.
 To-day John Burns has had his first rest for three weeks. During the first three days of the strike he made thirty six speeches, and he has made not less than ten a day every day since. And l am good for as many more for three weeks to come, If need be-" he said.
 Ten thousand pounds have been sent to tho strikers from Australia.
