treasury department Saturday, accepted
the proposals submitted. by the syndicate

treasury officials that the deposit OF gold
for the payment of the bonds will be
made very promptly, and, as the under
standing is that none OF the gold is to be
taken from the treasury, an early resto-
ration of the gold reserve to above the

THE EEL KILLED POOR MIC"
Now Tommy Hopkins Mourns His Cat,
Who Died n Glutton.

Old Tommy Hopkins, the eel catcher
of Pleasure Bay is mourning his pet
cat and life companion Mig" who has
with big eel last Sunday.
The tide was running favoraSly for
cells, and Hopkins and his partner, Bill
Archer, planted a wire pot in the surf
near their house. After putting a piece
OF liver in it to attract the game they
went to bed, intending to visit the snare
the next morning, when the receding
tide would leave il high and dry upon
the sand.
Mig" who had reached the age of
Is, was noted for being AS fond Of fish
and cells as cat brought up on the sea-
shore could be. He had often gone out
in the boat with his master, and was
considered part of the family.
The cat happened along the beach
Sunday morning before Hopkins was
up and saw the cells squirming in the
pot. He forthwith slid through the
pronged trap-door and began to break
fast of the Shiny denizens. All went
well until he tried TO bite a morsel out
of the back of a big conger. Then the
poor cat wished he hadn't come into
the pot, since being in he could not get
out.
The old eel, with the quickness of
fash, threw his tail over "Nig's" back
and instantly wrapped himself around
his body. They rolled and tumbled.
Mig" scratched and the old eel squeezed.
Then the cat tried to bite its antagonist
through thelhead, but couldn't because
the eel kept his head close to "Nig's"
neck.
1t would have been q battle 10 the
death then and there had not Hopkins
heard the cats cries and hurried down
to the beach in his stocking feet. AS it
was Mig was almost lifeless when ex-
tricated from the pot and died the next
day.
Hopkins killed the eel and threw it
into the suff. He alleges that it was as
thick as his arm at the shoulder. The
cats claws had laceated its skin in
frightful manner.
