Cat and Rather Fight to Death.

Rattlesnakes may charm birds, rab-
bits, and dogs, but they can't charm
CATS" The speaker was George Stearnes,
a farmer from Walker county, Ga, who
was telling snake stories while waiting
for train at the depot. To prove his
assertion Stearnes related the following
incident: He owns large black cat,
which kills every snake and lizard 1t can
find. The other day he saw the cat
creeping through the grass toward some
kind Of prey and watched it. A few feet
away he discovered large rattiesnake
coiled ready to strike and its bead-like
Of the snake was making the peculiar
swaying motion which Is part of the
charm that brings birds and rabbits will
Ing victims to the mouth OF the hideous
reptiles. Stearnes says he saw at a
glance the snake was trying to charm
the cat, and, as he was not much attached
to the feHne, he stood still to await re-
suits. With It's body close to the ground,
and It's tall swaying back and forth. the
cat continued to creep slowly forward.
Its eyes were fxed on those Of the snake.
as though the two were testing their
powers Of mssmerism. Slowly and cau-
tiously the cat crept closer and closer to
the coiled reptile, and 1t really seemed
for while that 1t had fallen victim to
the charming powers Of the rattler.
When within four feet Of the snake the
cat stopped, placed its feet In position
for spring, and remained motionless
for an instant. The snake seemed sur
prised, and changed Its position slightly.
This was the opportunity the cat was
waiting for. Quick as lightning the
feline leaped and caught the snake by
the neck with teeth and claws, and, after
rolling over and over on the ground for
two minutes, the snake was dead. The
cat did not release It's hold until long
after the snake ceased to move, and
then, as It walked away, would OCCASION
ally look back to see II there was any
suspicious movement.
Stearnes says 1t was the most fascina-
ting sight he ever saw, the cat creeping
up to the snake, which, no doubt,
thought It had secured good dinner by
the charm Of its eye.-St. Louis Globe.

THE COMMISSION SUSTAINED.
A Civil Service Case Decided by the At
torney General.

The Attorney General has rendered decision
in the case of the three railway transfer clerks
at Albany, NY. in which he sustains the de-
cision of the civil service commission.
The commission hold that these appoint
ments were illegally made, because the ap-
pointees had not been examined az required
by the civil service rules, while on the other
hand the superintendent of the railway mail
service contended that they we're valid. Is
coming wi thin the amendment of clause 5 Of
railway rule 2, which was adopted August 10,
1889, and some months before the appoint
ments were made.
He therefore overruled the decision Of the
commission. The amendment of clause ex-
cepts "from examination in the classified rail-
way service clerks employed exclusively a.
porters in handling mail matter In bulk, in
sacks or pouches and not otherwise" Com
missioner Lyman made an examination of the
case on the spot and asoertained that
these three employees in question had other
duties to perform in addition to the
handling of mail matter in bulk, in

THEY WANT TO HELP PRINTERS.
Young Women Examined for Places In
the Engraving Bureau.

The rooms Of the Civil Service Commission
today had good deal the look of the examina-
ton rooms in female boarding school, for LAT
young women were crowded into the rooms,
each seated at a small table, busily at work at
an examination for the position of printers as
sistant at the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. The examination was very simple and
rudimentary, being confined almost en-
tirely to questions relating to the
work, which is itself almost entirely
mechanical The list of eligibles for
appointment to these positions in the bureau
has been almost exhausted and the fact that
appointments are frequent, taken in connec-
tiOn with the nature Of the examination ac-
counted for the large number of applicants.
There we're SO many of these that the examine
tion room could not accommodate more than
one half of them, SO the old Circuit Court room
down stairs was called into requisition for the
day and given over to the use Of the writer's

GOT OFF WRONG.

The second-street Bagnios Will Keep
Right ON.
Somehow or other, most efforts at reform
of any kind in this city fail through the
mistakes of the reformers. This has been
the result in the case of the attempt to re-
move the houses of ill-fame from Second
street. Yesterday w. A. Anderson, coun.
sci for the property owners, who rent
houses to the women, appeared before the
Board of City Trustees and claimed that it
could not condemn the houses of ill-fame
on that street, as residents living in the
vicinity had requested. There was a way,
however, for the Board to get at the matter.
There was statute which makes it mis-
demeanor for any property-owner to rent
his property to persons who proposed to
live there as prostitutes or conduct houses
of ill-fame. Here was way for the Board
to correct the nuisance complained of Gf it
was nuisance). They had no right to
Danish or ostracize persons living in dis
reputable houses.
Mayor Comstock said he did not think
any attention could be paid by the Board
to the petition which had been handed in.
1t was accordingly laid on the table.
