THE KILKENNY OATS TALE
Origin of the Story, Which VIII
Make the Night Relief Corps
Shudder at the Hessfans' Cruelty

Origin of the Story, Which VIII
Make the Night Relief Corps
Shudder at the Hessians' Cruelty
Had those good ladies who formed
themselves in New York recently into
Night Relief Corps for Homeless Cats
lived i'll Kilkenny in 1898 or 1903 (history
disagreeS on the dates, where and when
the Kilkenny cats story originated,
what field they would have had for
their mission of charity and relief.
Everybody has heard the story Of the
Kilkenny cats. but few knew its true
origin. In one or the years abOve-meu-
toned, during rebellion in Ireland,
Kilkenny was garriSOned by corps of
Hessien soldiers.
Some of them one night amused the M
selves in the barracks by tying two cats
by their tails and throwing them across
a clothesline TO fight. The officer hear
ing of this cruel amusement, resolved
to stop it. AS he entered the room one
of the soldiers, seiZing a sword, cut the
tails in twain as the cats hung across
the line.
The two cats escaped through win
dow, minis their tails, unnOticed by the
officer, and when the latter INQUIRED the
IHCdlluS vi CIlS Two DlceuIuS tdliS DtIuS
left in the room, the man VINO had cut
them in two coolly told him that two
had been fighting and had devoured
each other all but the tails.
So the Kilkenny cats tail story is
Hessian tale. Yet it has served as a
precedent for similar cruelty by more
than one New York boy-eXcept, per-
haps, the cutting of the tails and the
unique explanation consequent upon it
and it is the existence of just such
monstrosites which has given birth TO
the Night Relief corps OF those we'll
meaning but curiously philanthroplc
ladies. who will doubtless shudder on
learning that the Hessians were not
only cruel to human beings, but, worse
still, TO cats alSOl

New York.

NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-The miscellaneous
market was strong throughout the day. The
weakness of sterling exchange has infused
bulls with fresh courage. and they are now
taking decided stand against their oppo-
nents. The favorable bank statement
also had a stimulating effect. Business
was only moderate. The total sales foot
ed sl,745 shares. The specially strong
stocks were Reading, American Sugar, Louis
vile & Quincy, National Cordage and United
States Rubber. Shorts in Reading were
showing traces of nervousness, the court
proceedings not being entirely to their like
ing. Western Union sold at from 80 to 9Ss4
for scrip dividend of per cent. The CANCERS
and trunk lines were quiet and firm. Ma
tional Cordage was in better demand at l.34
@1.35 for the common.
The Posts cablegram says: For the first
time in many months the argument of Lon
don buying has now been advanced with
some show of reason; foreign houses have
been actual buyers all this week, and not
wholly for the covering of speculative short
accounts. Beyond doubt this has been based
in a measure on England's conviction that
reduced import taxes and free raw
material mean prompt extension of pa
tion's prosperity. But it probably voices
still more plainly Europe's belief that Mr..
Cleyeiands election morks the death of the
free coinage craze Probably this week has
marked a genuine turn on the tide, but it
will not Go yet to jump at conclusions. The
opeanoutlook is not yet such as to en-
courage large movements for the rise.

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber OF Commerce.

Wheat continues TO move well IN the
Northwest while the activity is subsiding i'll
most other sections. The northern part of
Minnesota sold early and the middle and
southern are selling now The winter wheat
marketing was said to be light. The supply
of contract wheat at q few points suggests,
by the lightness of Ii, that there may be
manipulation. STILL few seem to be dis
turbed about it, Prices were firm and higher
in the morning, falling later, losing much of
the gain. The room trading was fair a the
outset. but when scalpers got themselves

measurements have been taken and
noted was an anaconda which DR..
Gardner found dead and suspended to
the fork of a tree during his travels in
Mexico. 1t was dragged out into the
open by two horses, and was found
to measure thirty-seven feet in
length. Inside of it we're found
the bones and flesh of a horse
in half-digested state, and there was
no doubt that it had swallowed the
animal whole. DR.. Gardner and others
say that anacondas. pythons and boas
attain a length of over forty feet, but
there is no recorded instance of one
having been encountered longer than
that which has been mentioned. though

WHAT Is CATARRH?
The Opinion OF an Eminent Medi-
cal Authority.

Catarrh is the cause of more diseases
than all other causes combined. There
are very few diseases to which human
flesh is subject that cannot be traced di-
rectly to catarrh. Not only is catarrh
capable of producing great variety Of
diseases, bnt il also attacks any organ
or part of the body. 1t causes in the
ears deafness. in the eyes blindness, in
the head and throat discharges and of
fensive odors, in the bronchial tubes
and Iarynx cough and hoarseness, in
the lungs consumption, in the stomach
dyspepsia, in the kidneys Bright's dis
ease, in the pelvic organs host of de-
rangements too numerous for mention.
Pe-ru-na cures catarrh and all catarrhal
diseases, wherever located. Peruna Is
a systemic remedy, and hence cures ca
ta1rh of internal organs as surely as 1t
aoeS catarrh of external organs. as no

This committee, TO which was referred
the matter of the accounts OF ex-Secre-
tarv Lathrop, reported that the books
were i'll such bad condition that 1t
would cost more to have them
Strengthened out than the result
of such action could possibly be
worth to the Alliance and recommended
that the whole matter be allowed to
drop. The committee reported receipts
for the year of S2.0I2.03 and disburSe-
ment OF 81 ,94l.5S, leaving a balance OH
hand OF ST0.45. One glance at the ro-
tunda of any of the down town hotels
would have convinced even a stranger
in the city that gathering of farmers
was going on. Everywhere were to be
seen Sturdy-looking ruddy-faced men,
wearing shaggy fur coats, heavy boots,
and almost invariably long whiSkers.
They gathered about in little groups
and chatted earnestly together and from
all directions could be heard the name
of Donnelly. The sentiment among the
arrivals of last evening seemed to be
almost entirely in favor of the Sage and
many of those prominent in the order
were heard to SHY that mo one else was

who pretend to know say that he will

tor Probstfield has also been spoken OF

The Supreme Court Has Not
Yet Given Any Decision
Against Him.
A Coincidence in Votes That
May Explain Saturdays
Rumor'S.
Dakota Counties Victorious in

Taxes.
Yakima City, Wash, Loses in
the Suit Against North
ern Pacific.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. - The Boyd
Thayer case, involving the question of
the citizenship of Boyd. and, as con-
sequence. his eligibility to the Office of
governor of NebraSk a. to which he was
elected. was not decided by the United
States supreme court today. An in
quiry into the matter developed the
fact that only eight justices sat in the
hearing of the case, Justice Bradley
being absent on account of illness. A
premature announcement that the court
had decided the case in favor of Boyd
by vote of to cannot be correct,
therefore. so far respects the majority
by which decision is alleged to have
been reached. The justices, of course,
will say nothing whatever as to the
case in advance of the announcement
from the bench of their decision.
a curious coincidence in connection
with the publication in advance of what
the decision of the court would be. and
the respective number of justices in
favor of Boyd or Thayer, developed in
the court today. The case of the North
ern Pacific Railroad company against
Hiram Dustin, prosecuting attorney of
Yakima county, Washington, was de-
cided by the vote which the publication
referred to alleged to be the decision of
the justices in the .Boyd-Thayer case
In this case. the court reversed the de-
ciSlon of the state (then territorial)
court, as would be the result ii Mr..
Boyd wins his suit.
In the Boyd announcement two of the
members of the minority were said to
be Republicans and one a Democrat. In
the Yakima cgse today two justices are
Republicans, Brewer and Harlan, and
one Democrat, Justice Field. Whether
or not some chance utterance with re-
spect to this case was overheard and
mistaken for an expression with regard
to the Nebraska governorship contest
viii perhaps never be known, Bs the
Justices consider it a violation of Off
cial prOprieties to speak on such mat
ter, and any one giving out news which
is supposed to be an inviolable secret
until officially proclaimed from the
bench naturally would not wish to be
known as the author.

Two More Victories.
The billiard tournament for the Foley
emblem was resumed yesterday, after
the Sunday rest, and five games were
spun off. Both WIlmot and Thayer
added two more victories to their I'M
broken strings. Thayer vanquished
both Partridge and Barry with the
greatest ease, while Markham ana Mon
roe fell prey to Wiimot'S invincible
play. But Wilmot had no snap with
Monroe, by the way. 1t was an eX-
citing game, and was won by the pros
pective champion by only small mar
gin. Hardaere came to the front by de-
feating Wilder in stubborn and uphill
battle. Wilder appeared TO have the
call up to the very last, and then he
only lacked three buttons of the goal.
The first game in the afternoon was
between Thayer and Barry. and the
former marked 100 TO the others IS
points. His highest run was 10. Then
WilmOt opened game with Markham,
knocking out 4S points from the lay off.
The balance of the game he gave an eX-
hibition of fancy shots instead of at
tempting to play sequentialIy. Mark
ham only made 60. Hardacre and
Wilder started the evening play at s
o'clock. Wilder took the lead at first
and held it to nearly the finish, when he
fell victim to hard luck and was de-
feated in score of 100 to 81. Wilder's
highest run was IA. Wilmot defeated
Monroe in an exciting contest, 100 to 90,
and then Partridge went down before
Thayer, 100 to IS. in a rather Indifferent
game. Thayer's highest run was 16, and
Partridge's 10.
The card for today reads Sibiey VS..
