CAT AND cOrPERH=AO FIGHT.
The Formers Seine. and Dsxteri'y So
Great That The Sn,ar Wasn't In 1t.

Tuesday Joseph Brown. who drives
the stage between here ana Gcrmanla.
while on his trip in noticed ii c 1t steal
ing along through the grass 1t the
road side. three miles from here. Brown
slopped his horses AMI watched the cat
10 see what she was after. lie glanced
ahe.tI of the eat and saw a large pilot
snake. or cnpperhcad. lying i'll the
grass few feet away. 1t was toward
this poisonous snake that the cat WAS
stealing Brown ut first thought he
would get out and kill the snake. but
concluded to see what the cat would
DO with the deadly reptile. or what the
snake would do with the cat. The
latter stole slowly upon the snake. but
it became plain to Brown that the
snake was not to be taken by surprise,
for it had its glittering eve fixed on
| the cat, and was making itself ready
for a fight. When the cat had APP
preached to within a foot of the snake
she raised one paw and held it straight
out toward the pilot. In a fash the
snake struck ut the paw, but the cat
was still quicker than the pilot aud
| whisked her paw away. The snake
missed it, aud as quick rs lightning
the cat brought her other fore paw in
to play, and with it she dealt the snake
a blow that knocked it foot or more
to one side, the cats sharp nails tear
ing deep scratches in the snakes neck.
from which blood began to low in
stantly. The pilot was evidently
greatly surprised at the result of the
round, but, maddened by the cats at
tack. turned again for fight.
Again the cat presented her left paw
as feint, and again the pilot was
fooled by it. for his vicious strike was
avoided again by the cats quick
maneuver, aud again the Snake re-
| ceived the cats terrible right-hander
alongside his head These skillful
tactics of the willy cat were repeated
four times with the same result. and
then the pilot, weakened and thor
ouehlv spiritless, turned and would
have dragged itself off of the field.
! But the cat sprang upon the retreating
reptile aud with two or three thrusts
and vicious strokes with her claws
tore the yenomouS snake TO pieces.
She carried the carcass TO the garden
of house near by. where she dug a
hole and buried it.
The cat belongs to young woman
who teaches the West Branch district
| school, aud few days before the cat
had given birth to Il litter of four kit
tens. Two of these disappeared. and
one of them was found to have been
swallowed by six-foot biacksnake
which was killed near the place where
the cat had the fight with and killed
the copperhead. The other missing
kitten has not been found and it is be-
! Level TO have met the same fate rs its
| companion. Whether or not the
mother cat Ia, become aware that her
kittens were stolen by snakes, and has
begun Il warfare against those reptiles

BEECHER AND PRIZE-FIGHTS
He CONFESSED TOA LOVE FOR PUGt
LIsTIC SPORTS AND FOUND OTHERS
LIKE HIM.

He CONFESSED TOA LOVE FOR PUGk
LISTIC SPORTS AND FOUND OTHERS
LIKE HIM.
Philadelphia Press: The Press is
sure of its clientage when it reports
prize-hghts, and that is by no means
confined to the rougher element. |
am reminded of a story Of Beecher
which is authentic, and which bears
out this assertion.
When Mr.. Beecher went to deliver
his lectures to the Yale theological
students on one occasion there hap
pened to be the day before a prize
fight between famous pugilistS. A
Yale professor entered Mr.. Beecher's
room and found him reading an ac-
count of it and expressed surprise.
Beecher laughed heartily, and he
said that he always read them, and
he had an idea that every man who
was worth a copper did. 81 can't
help it, he said, although | know
it shows how thin is the veneering
which separates the better nature of
men from their brutal instincts. A
very pious ministerial brother of
mine in Brooklyn confessed to me
that he could not help reading them,
and | know that Conkling not only
reads but sometimes witnesses a test
of pugilistic skill.
"Now, professor" and here Beech
er smiled roguishly, "l'll venture you
have already read the account of this
fight. Tell me frankly, didn't you?"
The professor was Cornered and he
admitted not only that he readit, but
that he got up earlier than usual in
order to get his paper.
"Now," said Beecher, "I'll wager
that a majority of the professors here
got off in one corner, or held the
paper slyly before their eyes and
read this report of this prize-fght
this morning. and after the lecture
this afternoon we'll ask them"
1t was done and every one of the
professors asked, with two or three
exceptions, confessed the weakness,
and one of them, franker than the
rest, said, 81 know it is a disgrace,
but l inst relish reading an account
of first-class prize-fght, and l al
ways chuckle when my man wins"
"Yet it was you, | believe" said
Beecher, "who had something to say
a few months ago about the pander-
ing of the press to degraded appe
tite in this regard. | tell you, my
friends, that we have all got little
of the brute left in us, and if we ha
lived in Rome we should have re-
joiced to see the sladiators and to
hear the stories of the exploits.

SNOW HILL. Md, Oct l7--Reports
from Ocean City state that the recent
heavy storm prevailing along the Atlantic
coast, which WAS attended by such loss
and dainsge to property along the New
Jersey coast. had passed up the Mary
land coast with but little damage. The
tide was higher than usual, and swept
over Sinepuxent beach In places, but it Is
thought, left il higher than before by
sand washed from the ocean The new
board walk, extending for nearly a mile
along the front OF Ocean City, Is not
damaged, and the hotels aud cottages
are all safe The reason advanced by
experts for the almost entire exemption
from the ravages of the ocean which Is
enjoyed by the Maryland coast is that
owing to the presence of sand banks,
called Little" and Great Gulf Banks,
situated three miles east OF Ocean City
in the ocean. the force Of the waves
are broken before they reach the coast
line. These banks, 1t is said, act as
brsakwater. There Is only twelve fee
Of water on one Of these at low water
and the United States Government ha
. placed buoys on them.
