Indecorous Quaker CITY Cats.
From. ne PAHadslphia Record.

The trolley line along cambridge and Cath
arine streets Is responsible for a new race OF
cats. which is being reared in the neighbor-
hood through which the electric line passes.
They are large. fat; and risky. and can only
be compared TO other cats as a fuil-grown
Newfoundland dog can be compared to a wad-
ding pup.
This great physical viGor and wonderful do
yelopment. Is due to, a course Of electrical
treatment to which they subject themselves.
Every night when the travel along those
streets has subsidized. tho eats can be seen
coming ont for their treatment. There is Just
enough electricity In. the rail to answer their
purpose. and first they lick the rail fondlY.
Then they roll on the rail and wallow In the

OUR LINES ARE CAST IN PLEASANT
PLACES.

The present season is not only de-
lightful one to visitors from the east,
but is one of the most auspicious we
have ever had to the farmer. The rains
have come opportunely and in sufficient
quantities, but they have been followed
by fine, eunshiny. growing weather.
Although the nights have been gener-
ally cool, there has been an absence of
frost. Thus we have the grand basis for
a most propitious season Of growth, and
the promise OF harvest that willsurpass
in volume any ever seen in Southern
California since the American success
sion.
Ibis is the very choicest time strang-
er could have to visit our section. The
whole country is clad with green, and
nothing can surpass the luscious rapid
ity with which the wild feed is coming
up. The acreage of grain planted will
far exceed that OF any season within the
remembrance OF the oldest inhabitant,
and the opportunity is so inviting that
orchards will be planted out in astonish-
ing numbers.
With the fine prospects which the
season gives us, we are not astonished
that homeseekers are greatly Increasing
ia numbers, and that there is a most
encouraging inquiry for lands. There 10

ABOUT THE RACE TRACK.

Work on the OutfaIl Sewer-A Garbage
Nuisance.
A HERALD reporter having yesterday
a detail in the vicinity of the race course
at Agricultural park, crossed over to the
grounds made historical by the hoof-
beats of such trotters as Arab, Nc
Kinney, Richmond and Stamboul.
There was not sulky in sight nor a
man astride of horse. In the fat a
gang -plow team of four stalwart grsys
was putting in crop Of barley.
The outfall sewer, section 2, is in full
blast at the fair grounds, through which
it runs In direction nearly parallel to
the driveway which enters the grounds
by the north gate. 1t goes about 80 feet
west of the club house and passes under
the old row of stalls where Mckinney
and Gossiper have been domiciled for
the past two years. The work of exca-
vation began at the lower end of the
grounds, near the former residence of
Mr.. Camp, the old-time secretary of
the Agricultural society, and is
working towards town. At the low
er end OF the section the brick
laying is completed for distance of
nearly 200 yards. At the upper end
there are four plow and scraper teams at
work, and they excavate to depth of
about five feet, after which the shovelers
get in and cast out the earth. There
were about so shovelers and 20 bricklay-
ers at work on the sewer yesterday.
The reporter asked Mr.. Ryan, lessee
of the park, what there was in the story
about swill and garbage being dropped
alongside the streets in that vicinity.
Mr.. Ryan said:
swell, you can put it down safely
that there is nothing thrown upon the
ground that can be eaten by hog. All
the swill. gatherers have piggeries in the
suburbs, and feed their hogs or the
offal gathered in town. What is thrown
outside here is mostly old rubbish gath
cred up from house-cleaning-old hats,
clothing and boots that are unfit for
wear"
"Who scatters them around here ?"
asked the reporter.
"Mostly Chinese, 1 think, and it is
nearly always done at night. All the
roads that lead out of town are more or
less lumber up with such refuse"
