A Cat Worth 5000.

Louis J. Knoop, a prominent mining
broker, who lives at the Hotel Beivi.
dere, has magnificent specimen which
he has named Shah, and for whom he
has refused $500. Shah is nearly eight.
cen inches in height, and weighs TWEEN
ty and one-half pounds. Mr.. Knoop
gives him bath at least once week,
and the cat appears to enjoy it i'm
mensely- Shah's playmate is a small
black and tan terrier, which he handles
in the most merciless manner, and with
which he romps like playful child.
He was formerly taken to the restau-
rant for his meals, but the guests soon
disguised him with their undue famil
iarity, and he now eats in his boudoir.
His favorite diet is the bones of quail,
but when there is nothing better to be
had he will eat the breast of a chicken.
He is very fond of flowers, and spends
much of his time in the conservatory
on the roof of the hotel, in which his
owner has many choice exotics. Shah
cost $50 when he was but two weeks
old. His mother was Snowfall. owned
by Mrs. Steele, of Medina, and he was
sired by Prince Leopold, a famous cat
now owned in Cleveland. O.-New
York World.

TO.HELP THE HOME.

In speaking of the constitutional
difficulties so frequently alleged to
be in the way of state aid to Con,
federate Home, Gov. Ross says that
while Article 3 limits the purposes
for which taxes can be imposed, to
the exclusion OF this purpose, there
is nothing to prevent the state from
establishing and maintaining a
home from fees obtained through
the several state departments. The
fees coming through the secretary
of state, under its present efficient
management, bring a net annual
revenue of more than $4,000,
which can be permanently main
tanned under existing laws at $780,
600 without detriment to any inter
est. These fees, which are mainly
derived from non-residents and cor
porations doing business in our
state under protection of its laws,
would amply support all those likely
to apply for aid. IF the present
home property and endowments
we're turned over to the state says
The Austin Statesman, it would not
'equire very large appropriation to
supply the necessary buildings
here or at some other desirable To-
'ation. That Art. 3 does not inhibit,
'ut expressly says that public build
ngs may be erected by funds from
general taxes, and at any rate
of S145,O00 derived from
be United States as indemnity may
We used for necessary buildings
Without contravening the constitu-
ion.

Wood Like Iron,

The jarrah wood is a species of euca
lyptus native to Western Australia. The
main difficulties connected with its use
in this country are the cost of freight
for such heavy timber from Australia
and its intense hardness, which makes
it difficult for ordinary English carpen.

produces it grows generally to height
of 100 feet, and sometimes $50 feet. II
is found only in Western Australia, ex-
tending over the greater portion of the
country from the Moore river to King
Georges sound, forming mainly the
forests of these tracts.
According to Baron Mueller, when
selected from billy localities, cut while
the sap is least active and subsequent.

to the boring of insects. Vessels con.

VOTE RIGHT.

If you have not made up you1
mind for who you will vote next
Tuesday, stop and review the his
tory of the two parties, see which
has done the most for Washington
county. Ask yourself under the adj
ministration of which, has the bur
den of taxation been highest. I'm
der the rule of which has the county
affairs been the administered. Under
which has the credit of the county
been the best, If you find Demo.
cratic rule the answer to all these
questions, then it is your duty to
perpetuate the tenure of Democrats
in Office. The party has a right to
expect the most intelligent of both
races to vote the Democratic ticket
after having reviewed the history of
the two parties, and unless biased by
or fanaticism it is scarcely
that they will do other
wise. Let a principal of right pos
sess each man as he casts his vote,
and his concience will stay the hand
that folds for the ballot box repub-
lican ticket. Vote like free men who
love freedom, good government local
self government, honest and capable
officers, and all will be well when
the returns are counted.

a Wonderful Mountain.

Almost in. the exact geographical
centre of Wyoming is a mountain Of
solid hematite iron ore, with GOO feet
OF it above ground, more than a mile
wide and over two miles in length.
Besides the iron the mountain contains
a bed OF Ignite coal large enough to
warm the entire world for century, a
dozen dried up lakes of soda, where
the soda is deposited to depth of over
800 feet, some of the lakes being over
800 acres in extent. In mountain adj
joining there is a petroleum basin
larger than those of Pennsylvania and
West Virginia combined. Out of some
OF the springs pure rectiied coal oil is
trickling at the rate of twenty to thirty
barrels per day. A wonderful country,
indeed.-St. Louis Republic.

A conductor that ought to be Fired.

Mr.. w. h. Fleig. an old citizen
of this place recently moved to Gal
weston and last week sent for his
family. Saturday they telegraphed
him that they would leave on the 3
o'clock train Monday over the Cen
tral via Houston and to look out for
them. Monday they purchased tick
cts here and boarded the train, which
of course being circus day was
crowded, but did not Justify the con-
ductor in what we are informed he
done. He told them that there was
special down on the siding near
the compress that would only be an
hour behind the train they wanted
to go on Mrs. Fleig, with her chill
dren went down there and found
the so-called SPECIAL which they
boarded and waited there until near
night before learning that it was
not going at all, it then being too
late to get another train they were
not only delayed a day but had to
hunt up some of their friends with
whom they spent the night. Our
informant says Mr.. Fleig has en-
ployed legal council and will enter
suit against the Company for dam
ages.

Transformation.

An amusing Illustration of the me
chanical way in which words are some
times made is furnished by the word
phantomnation, which appears in
Webster, Worcester, the Imperial and
Casselfs Encyclopedia Dictionary.
Webster solemnly defines it thus;
"Phantomnation, disappearance as
of a phantom; illusion. [Obsolete and
rare Pope"
Worcester says simply: illusion
Pope"
The Imperial and Casselrs repeat
this bit of photographic wisdom, but
the latter omitted the reference to
Pope, apparently suspecting that some
thing is the matter somewhere.
Now, the source of this word is book
entitled ''Philology of the English Ian
guage, published in 1920 by Richard
Paul Jodrell as sort of supplement to
Johnson's Dictionary. Jodrell had
curious way of writing phrases as single
words, without even a hyphen to indi-
cate their composite character. Thus,
city solicitor became citysoicitor, home
acquaintance Noncompliance, and
so on. He remarks in his preface that
it 'was necessary to enact laws for my.
sell, " and he appears to have done SO
with great vigor
Of course he followed his Flaw" when
he transcribed the following passage
from Pope:
These solemn VOWS and holy offerings paid
To all the phantom nations Of the dead
Odyssey, X. 6s7.
Phantom nations became phantom
nations, and the great standards of
The English language" were enriched
with a new word. Youths Com |

Honest Men Arn SAT.

Inspector Byrnes says the only way
to keep a city clear of bad men is to ar
rest them on sight and make the place
too hot for them. Out of 500 arrests
ION suspicion" there may be one mis-
take-one honest man, but he owes it
to the public to identify himself as
such. The howl about personal lib
erty" always comes from criminal law
yers Detroit Free Press.
