Death from d Cat.

The people of South Englewood are on a still hunt after the cats in the neigh borhood of that village, and one large Maltese in particular is doomed to an untimely end. That animal, the proper ty of Bernard Schram and his wife, killed their five months old child Satur- day night, and half the residents of the village believe the feline sucked the in- fant's breath from its body. The Schrams reside on Vincennes road, between Eighty and Eighty-ninth streets, They retired at the usual hour Saturday night, leaving the baby in the cradle at their bedside.
 They were awakened during the night by the child's labored breathing, fol- lowed by a piteous, stiiled moan. As Mir. Schram arose and struck light the large house cat leaped from the cradle and escaped through the door. The in- fant was lying still, with its little hand clenched and its face blue from suffoca- tion. Dr. Tallman was hastily sum- moned, but pronounced the child dead. He said that suffocation was the cause, and that the cat, attracted by the warmth of the child's body, probably lay down on the baby's face and smothered it. Chicago Times

Died of HiccOugh.

Robert Porter three weeks ago had an attack of bilious fever, but nothing more serious developed until few days ago He began to hiccough, but it was thought by the physician to be only a temporary affection brought on by the disordered system. The hiccoughing continued almost necessarily, and all the doctors could do was to give the sufferer opiates to put him to sleep. But the rest was only momentary, and the fatal hic- coughing racked his frame for more than two days. The physicians who were called informed the family that unless the hiccoughing could be stopped the patient would die from exhaustion, but they knew of no remedy. Saturday night MT. Porter, who was strong and heavily built, weakened rapidly, and the end came in few hours. Trib- ma

All on Account of a Pig.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which has lately assumed the management of the public pound, and John Partridge, who is the officiating ponndkeeper of this city and county, are in trouble It is all over a pig-the pet of man who walks the streets followed by the animal, which wears a blanket and tamely answers it's masters call whenever it is given.
 Neither the pig nor the man appar- ently knows that they are the subject of much mixed controversy, but such is the case. Questions concerning that pig are pouring into the office of the poundkeeper and the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals daily and are becoming more complicated as the time goes on. Here are some of them:
 If pig assumes the manners and privileges of dog is it not also com pelled to take upon itself the same re- sponsibilities the dog has to carry7
 Why is this pig not regularly regis. tered and licensed, and why does it not have tag attached to its collar, which puts it on an equal footing with dog?
 What right has this pig to the freedom of the city?
 What legal standing has this pig in case it gets itself into any trouble?
 What is the difference between dog and pig from legal point of view?
 How can man take out dog license for pig, and would not pig travelling with such n permit be liable to be ar. rested for false pretenses?
 If Mir. Partridge or his deputies seize this pig for not being licensed, will not its owner have good cause of action for a damage suit against the city and county?
 Such are the knotty problems Mir. Partridge has to wrestle with, and it is because he doesn't know any solution of them that his nights are either sleepless or troubled with dreams, in which he sees people with every kind of animal from an elephant to mouse following them about the streets as pets.--San Francisco Chronicle.

8 THE ARIZONA SUGAR COMPANY O

The farmers who may subscribe to the stock of the company will have vital and personal interest in the production of sugar beets.
 Farmers and capitalists can estimate the chances of loss and gain as well as the directors of the company, but it may be promised that agricultural land free from taxation forms safe investment, and that machinery which can be inn ported free of duty and enjoys immu- nity from taxation, is only subject to loss by fire, which can be covered by insurance.
 Land in Arizona will produce at least twenty tons of sugar beets per acre, twice annually.
 The market price will depend upon the quantity of saccharine.
 Sugar beets require neither bagging nor storage; but are cash at the mill, and the company might even be able to ad- vance money on unencumbered land de- voted to their cultivation.
 It is matter of consequence in some parts of Arizona that sugar beets ex- tract alkali from the soil better than any other production.
 After supplying the home market in Arizona with sugar, molasses, confec- tions, etc., transportation is the most serious question, and the smaller bulk the production of the country can be reduced into the better for the producer.
 Sugar will bear transportation better than hay, grain, or ores.
 A sugar mill at some railway depot with capacity of 100 tons per day, at s5 per ton for sugar beets, would be a great benefit to the farmers and mer- chants of Arizona.
 The cooperative system of offering the farmers one-half of the capital stock payable in the productions required for the mill has worked well in Germany and France, and in fact the cooperative system in every country is the out growth of civilization.
 The farmers interest in the company will be guarantee to the nonresident shareholders of vigilant watch!ulness over the management. and by united ef- fort staple production may be intro duced in Arizona which will enliven the source of all permanent prosperity AGRICULTURE.
 It is not to be overlooked that after the saccharine matter is extracted from sugar beets the residium forms excellent food for sheep, cattle, hogs, poultry, etc., and nothing that comes from the soil is wasted.
 The cultivation of sugar beets may be carried on by the least intelligent labor Indians, Mexicans, children may all be employed in transplantins the beets and gathering the crop. Only the mill re quires intelligent labor.
 Sugar industries are being started iT many States of the Union less adapted by nature to the growth of saccharine products than Arizona, and an effort or the part of the residents may encourage assistance from abroad.

The capital stock of the company is one hundred thousand 100000 shares of ten ($10) dollars each.
 One-haIf of the capital stock will be sold in the Territory of Arizona, payable in land adapted to the cultivation of sugar beets, sugarcane sorghum and sac charine products at the market price.
 The other half will be sold for cash, at not less than par, for the purpose of pur- chasing, importing and erecting machin- cry adapted to manufacturing domestic sugar.
 The fifty thousand shares reserved for the farmers can be paid for at any time within five years from the date of the organization in land or it's saccharine productions, such as sugar beets, sugar cane, sorghum, etc., etc., and the sub scribers will be entitled to draw a divi- dend pro rata on payments made.
 The fifty thousand cash shares must be fully paid on delivery, and will be entitled to a full dividend semi annually.
 It is reasonably expected that the company can declare q, dividend of 25 per cent per annum on current business, and have some land left.
 After the capital stock shall have been disposed of and one-half fully paid in cash, the company will be authorized to issue equal to one-half of the capital stock, bonds secured by mortgage, upon all the property of the company, pay able in twenty years, with interest at the rate of 5 percentum per annum, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of devoting the proceeds to the purchase of land, and for no other purpose; plo- vided, always, that these bonds cannot be issued nor a mortgage on the prop erty executed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders.
 The Government of the United States offers to pay bounty of two cents per pound or 40 dollars per ton on domestic manufactured sugar, and to admit free of duty, until the first day of July, 1892, all machinery required for its manu- facture.
 The Territorial Legislature, at it's last session, passed an act exempting all land used in the cultivation of sugar beets. as we'll as the plant and machin- cry employed in the manufacture of do- mestic sugar, from taxation for ten years.
 We imported from foreign countries during the last fiscal year, sugar, mo- lasses, candy and confectionery to the value of $l0l ,293, ,826, or sent away up- wards of one hundred million dollars, which can te retained at home by en- couraging the manufacture of domestic sugar.
 The average yield of saccharine matter from sugar beets in France is only per cent, in Germany 10 per cent.
 In California the average yield is l5 per cent.
 It is confidently believed that the soil and sun of Arizona will yield a much larger polarization from sugar beets than France, Germany, California, or any other country; and if these premises are correct. the profits will exceed that of any other sugar factory in the United States.

Lawrence Barrett's Estate.

Notwithstanding the report that Law renee Barrett died wealthy, it is now be- lieved that but for his life insurance poll. cies the estate would be small one. He had about Sl25,0O insurance, which he was careful to keep paid up. He had considerable invested in scenery and cos tunes and he owned some real estate at Cohasset, Mass. In the production of his plays he was lavish in expenditure in some directions, and the new play of Oscar Wilde's which he produced here cost him $25, 900 to mount. His income was large, but he spent it freely in his love for art.-Cor. Philadelphia Press,

A burly negro named Martin Long, wanted at Eagle Lake for burglary, was seen by an officer at San Antonio, Tex. As soon as discovered Long ran and was pursued distance of eight blocks. He finally jumped into the river, and though threatened with a pistol he refused to come out. At last a deputy rode up, un- slung lariat from his saddle bow and attempted to rope him.

The news Of the occupation Of Sigri
by the English is absolutely false.
The fleet was maneuvring round the
island Of Mitylene as usual each year.
At Cape Sigri is a small deserted
island, on which a part Of the crews
landed for certain manmuvres, re-
turning on board their ships almost
Immediately afterwards.
The fleet left Sigri on Sunday.
There has been no excitement in
official circles here over the reported
occupation of Sigri by the British, as
the news reached Constatinople from
Paris and not from Sigri, and was re-
garded simply as a canard started for
speculative purposes. The presence of
the English squadron off Mitylene
was known at the Porte, but had no
international significance.
Although the original dispatches
were dated from Constantinople, it is
considered highly improbable that the
authorities would have permitted SO
obvious a canard to pass through the
telegraph Office.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 18th NArER).
In reply to your request fer parti-
culars of the Sigri incident, [ am in
a position to state that the report of a
British occupation is absolutely false.
The whole fact Of the matter is this
that on Saturday last some officers
and men Of the British feet landed
upon a desert island offCape Sigri to
spend the day. A countryman who
witnessed the landing reported the
incident at Mitylene. On the follow
ing day Sunday the British feet left
Sigri.
In some way this unimportant in
cident was magnifed into the British
occupation of Sigri. From first to last
no one here believed for a moment
the absurd report.
The use made Of the matter can
only be attributed to a design to in

It is not pleasant even for a person
wealthy enough to possess a diamond
necklace to leave it for repairs witha
ieweller. and on going to inquire for
the bauble to find that the shop is
closed and empty, and that the trades
man has bolted. Such is the misfor-
tune which befell a customer Of a
ieweller and matchmaker named Satz,
who started in business in the Rue
des Orteauxsome four years ago. and
succeeded ingaining the entire conf
dence of his neighbours. The owner
of the diamonds, on going to see after
his necklace, found the shutters up
and a notice pasted thereon to say
that the establishment would remain
closed for twenty-four hours. The
next day, on finding the same state of
affairs he appliedto the Commissaryof
Police, who cause.-the shopto beopen-
ed. Nothing was found beyond a few
worthless old watches. which had
been left for repairs. Satz had not
only taken away the whole of his
stock-in-trade, but had also removed
his furniture. The notice on the
outside of the shop was evidently
placed there for the purpose of allow
ing the jeweller to gain a good start
on the police. The proprietor of the
necklace will probably not join with
any degree of enthusiasm in the pre-
vailing epidemic of Russomania, as
M. Satz was a native of Odessa.-Uid.
