A PHILADELPHIA JUDGE HAS DECIDED
that man may shoot and kill cat
that comes upon his premises and dis
turbs his nocturnal repose. In charg-
ing the jury the judge said: 81
have only to say, gentlemen, that a
citizen has a right to kill an animal of
this kind if it trespasses on his pre-
misses. Perhaps there is no domestic
animal that makes more trouble in the
neighborhood than cat. If this cat
was trespassing on this mans place he
had right to kill it." The jury at
once found the man not guilty,

A DISTINGUISHED STUDENT.
At Harvard Only One Year He is vi.
fered and Refused a Prominent
Profess0rship.
Correspondence of the Ledger.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
New HAVEN, Conn.,, May 81
One of our fellow townsmen, Mr..
WV. C~lendenin, has distinguished
himself in his work at Harvard UNI
versity this year and | feel that it
would not be inappropriate to COM
munieate the fact to his friends
through the columns OF his home
paper. He has been at Harvard but
one year, but his work has been
such that he has been offered the
position of assistant professor in
Minerology in that institution. He
declined the offer, however, but ac-
cepted in its stead a fellowship
which will enable him to continue
his research work in Geology with a
view to taking the degree of Phi. d.
next year. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Clendenin has been teach
ing in the University of Missouri
since his graduation there several
years since. The summer after his
graduation was spent in special
study of volcanic and glacial phe-
nomena in Europe; one summer
was spent in Geological work in
Canada; another in Geological and
Photographed work in the U. S.
Geological Survey and Smithsonian
at Washington, d. C. He spent
last summer in studying the copper
and iron deposits of Lake Superior.
This indicates the breadth and ex-
tent of his work. His success as a
student and teacher has been phe-
nomenal. 1t viii be gratifying to
the friends of the Missouri Univer-
sity to know that he has not severed
his connection with that Institution
but has been granted a leave of alb
sence by the Board of Curators unit
he finishes his past graduate course
at Harvard. Respectfully,
l.. r. WHITLEY.

Dogs After John ". F0x's Sheep.

TO the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, May 23.-Mr.J John
w. Fox sent his epistle of love for
dogs on its mission of mercy Just
four days too soon. On the night of
the 18th inst. four hungry dogs, as
sured by Mr.. Fox's declaration that
they would not be harmed, showed
their appreciation of his friendship
by paying a visit to his flock. They
caught one sheep and while discuss
ing the proper way to kill all of them
Mr.. Fox took a shot gun, slipped
down under cover of night and, Ifear
your readers will not believe it, he
actually broke faith and killed one
of the i~nnocents on the spot and
tried to kill another without a parti-
Gle of warning. They were innocent
because they had not killed the
sheep and there is no positive evil
dence that they intended to they only
chewed its leg off and cut its throat
on both sides. have no doubt Mr..
Fox has repented for his rash act and
will apologize to the canine race for
the deception he has played on
them, and / am satisfied that he
will for the dog he killed, if he can
find the owner; and if he can't he
will send double its value to the con-
