wu D CATS ON STATEN ISLAND.
Feline Tramps That Range From OoN''
House station to the Great Knls'

Feline Tramps Tha Range From CostN
House station to the Great K!ls'
There are wild cats on Staten Island
They are not the descendants OF cats
that lived there in peace and comfort
many hundred years before the
advent of rapid transit, but
are degraded and fallen eats
that formerly belonged to good families
on the island. Civilization and milk
lost charms for them, and they took to
the woods where they spend their time
like vagabondS. They live ION birds
moies, and ever rabbits. Gunners say
that they DESTROY large numbers OF
Young rabbits,
The,e are two classes Of these wan
dering minstrels, One of them may be
said TO be only half savage, They 60
on periodical sprees w'.h their wild
kinsfole, hn Sooner or later they re-
."tn 10 their boarding houses. They
are always sleek and fat. The others
are homeless outcasts, the descendants
of once good and well-to-do parents,
but their leads were turned, as it were'
by eating dime novels.
4 few generations of such cats might
in time make hunting in the woods Of
Staten Island exciting. But there Is
little hone for hat how. The cats
must go. About fifteen or twenty years
ago, when the neighborhood Of the
South Beech was well wooded, a con
siderable Number of these feline tramps
hight be found there, and some OF
them, ANXIOUS for a change of diet,
were often seen on the water front
after the fishermen hadlifted their nets
hunting for fresh mossbunkers or Other
| rejected fish that were thrown uponths
beach. They are all gone how, ant
their places are occupied in the summe,
months by the other kind of tramps anc
pickpockets and their female friends
which the rapid transit brings there fol
Improvement of the island.
Wild cats are still found at Gifford''
and Court House station. The larges
and boldest one that has been sho
there recently was an old rounder tina.
for some time played havoc among TIN
chickens belonging to Mike Fitzgerald
OF the Great Kills. This one was re
peatedly fired at, but it had its nin'
lives and kept them all about It, A
last Maurice Fitzgerald, Il son of Mike
hit nbon d plan to capture it. When HI
thought II was about time for the ca
to make one of its visits, Maurice lief
the door of the chicken house ajar
fastened a blrefsh line to it, ran j
through one of the windows, and, b,
means of a little block, rugged it so tina
he could shut the door by pulling tn
line from the stable door. Then he sa
down and lighted his pipe. Sure enougI
the cat came and quietly entered tn
chicken house. Maurice pulled til
line, the door closed, and the cat was
prisoner. Then Maurice brought on
his gun, took deadly aim at the ca
through the bars of a little window o
ventilator, and murdered the old fello,
in cold blood. That cat, however, ha
some relatives still left, and, in con
pany with their half civilized CON
panions, they often make the wood
ring in lonely and desert places.-N. J

TRAINING TRICK DOGS.

Instructions to he Observed in Giving
Them Their Lessons.
Taking everything together I think
the poodle is the best adapted for
tricks of any breed of dogs, says II.
Clay Glover. Still | have seen mon
grels that could perform marvellous
feats with grace and ease. For sum
mersaults the compactly built terrier is
probably the best breed of dogs.
o1ce knew an artist who had a French
poodle of wonderful sagacity. 1t lived
with him in his studio, and was taught
to go to the door when the postman
came, and take the letters from his
hand and deliver them to its master.
One day the door-bell rang, and when
it was opened a messenger boy came in
instead of the expected l~etter-carrier.
Without showing the least temper the
poodle sprang against the swinging
door, and by its WEIGHT slammed it in
the face Of the astonished boy. 1t APP
pears that once a messenger boy Offend
ed the poodle, and he took this method
of Kidding the studio of his presence.
Some dogs have a wonderful bump Of
locality. This is more developed in
some dogs than in others, and those
that possess 1t to a marked degree can
easily be taught tricks in fetching and
carrying that would almost seem mi
raculous. ! have known of dog going
out hunting with his master. They
went a distance of more than one hun
dred miles from home. While they
were there the master lost his dog, and
went home without him. A day later
the truant made his appearance. He
had boarded u train and ridden home. |
myself have lost my dog in Jersey City,
and he has got on a ferryboat by him
| self, and come home without losing his
way or being helped.
A word or two of good advice to con
ciude. Do not begin training your dog
to do tricks until he is ten months or q
year old. After you have taught him
one trick, go on to another, but not be
fore he has mastered 1t thoroughly. Ii
rehearsing him in his tricks always OBJ.

THE Bellevue Herald complains,
and justly, that great injustice
has been done to the people and
county officials of the State in not
publishing the laws passed by the
last session of the legislature. But
perhaps the reason why these laws
have not been published may be
found in the fact stated by the Her
aid that when claw is imperatively
needed a certified copy must be
procured from the Secretary of State
at an expense of $25 or $50" In
one case we have heard of $50 be-
ing charged, if we remember the
statement correctly. Some one is,
therefore, deriving profit from the
non-publication of the laws. Nearly
five months is certainly an unreas-
onably long time in which to print
and distribute the laws. Let the
laws be published, even if some
body's income is curtailed by the
act

probable that Mr.. Hampton will be
installed as Probate Judge. What
the gentleman's claims to the posi-
ton are is not apparent to US. AS
va remember the case Mr.. Hampton
resigned the Office, and Mr.. Dilley
was appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by his resignation. This
being the case, while from some
Inherent defect of title Judge Dilley
may not be entitled to hold, Mr..
Hampton is no more entitled to re.
cover than would be the king OF

deprived him Of all claim to or upon
