A True Cat Story.

The sagacity, strong maternal feel
ing, and tenacity of life Of cats, are
shown in the following incident: a
cat belonging to Miss Sue Penhalle-
gon having more kittens than it was
thought desirable to raise, the lot
were cast into tub of water, and
left there until apparently dead; and
then taken out and buried in pit
prepared in the garden, 6 Or s inches
deep. The covering Of earth was
patted down with shovel, and the
kittens supposed to he finally dis
posed Of. But not SO. A few hours
later the mother cat was found with
two Of her offsprings, alive and well.
Investigation showed that the old
cat had resurrected the kittens, dig
ging them out IF their grave with
her claws and nursing them back to
life. Undoubtedly she had watched
the burial proceeding, and as soon as
she could DO SO unobseryed, set about
undoing it. She was deservedly al
lowed to keep one of her babes.

Woolen Mill Success.

Mr.. w. j. Penhallegon, secretary
of the Mineral Point Wooden Mills
Co., visited Chicago last week, with
highly satisfactory results. He is as
sured Of being able to place l,500 doz-
en- skirts and all the cassimeres and
tlannels the mills can produce dur
ing the coming year, mt tremunerative
prices. The products of the mill are
being sought after, and receiving the
highest Communications from all
who buy them. No pushing is nee
essary to sell the goods. One firm
that had used 1900 yards of fannels
writes congratulating the mill on the
superiority Of the goods received, de-
claring them equal to any they had
ever handled, and really better than
represented. Some months ago a
large manufacturing firm sent for
samples of light cassimeres, which
being sent a proposition was prompt
ly returned to take 5000 yards of the
cloth within specified time. The
buyerfor another large house said to
Mr.. Penhallegon tnat they could
place all the cassimeres the mills
may make in 1895, at satisfactory fig
ures. The company's prospects thus
are seen to be very bright. Constant
running Of machinery with full
complement of operatives, and fair
dividends on capital for at least q
year to come, are safely to be count
ed upon. This pleasing status Of af-
fairs after the many difficulties en-
countered by the company is the
more appreciated.

Jones and the Speakership.

The generally neutrality-suspicious.
the suggestion of Hon. Will A, Jones
for the speakership is phenominal.
With the people it is held as a recog-
milton of merit and indicative that
the incoming administrator is DOM
mated by a proper sense of the fit
ness of things Among politicians
Mr.. Jones' candacy is regarded as a
happy solution of what might have
proved a troublesome problem. All
this is seen i'm the tone of the many
papers that have referred to the sub
ject since his name was first suggest
ed, and in many other ways. The
following letter from former demo-
cratic neighbor of Mr.. Jones illus
trates the estimates of his worth and
abilities among those who best know
him:
MADISON, WIS, De,-, 10, ~.
Editor TRIBUNE, Mineral Pt, Wis.
Dear Sir.--Some one kindly sent
me copy of your TRIBUNE, in which
the possibility of nay friend--and
your friend no donbt--Wm. A. Jones
becoming speaker of the next Assem-
bly, is mentioned. And why not,
pray, it would surly puzzle me to
think Of any place Of honor and re-
in the gift of the voters
of this state that he would not fill
with ability, with credit to himself
and with honor to the political party
that had the good sense to place him
in it
Mr.. Jones and myself are warm
personal friends. We are separated
by party lines only. 1t may not be
good taste for me to express anything
but generalities, still no right think
ing man but will say OF his election,
if so be he is elected, good, | am
glad of it,"
! think you agree with me when
say, "if each assembly district and
each senate district We're to pick out
its Will a. Jones and send him to the
legislature, then Wisconsin politics
would have won the pole on the up
per turn, and be sweeping toward
the Wire ahead Of the entire herd.n
Here's to Iowa county in the speak
ership race.
Respectfully, +. nj. DYER.

TEE MANASSAS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
Mr.. Geo C. Round has written a letter
to the Manassas Gazette in behalf ofthe
Colored Industrial School recently IS
tablished in Prince William county.
Among other things he says
After twenty-five years residence in
Virginia am convinced that the great
est need of the colored people is to
learn how TO labor SO as to secure the
best results. The institution of slavery,
with all its evils, was undoubtedly
great industrial school for the co!ored
race and so far as the best minds Of the
South were brought into contact with
the minds Of that race in teaching them
how to labor with profit, have no
doubt that it was a great incidental
blessing. While l thoroughly believe
that the system of free labor is much
better for both races, yet | do thlrk
that if the time ever comes when the
best minds Of the white race fail to in
terest themselves in the welfare of the
colored race, it will be an unspeakable
calamity for all. The president Of the
loard Of directors is Rev. DR.. Rush r.
hippen. Pastor Of All Souls Unitarian
church, in Washington, D. c., end
mong the directors are men and
women OF all poll i;al parties and re-
ligious beliefs. 1t is proposed TO dedi-
cate the new building and grounds near
the railroad junction at Manassas or
Monday, Sept. 3D., 1894, which is known
as Labor Day. Fred Douglass will de-
liver Ehe principal address.
