neighbor applied to Mr.. Lane, Q. c.,
the North London magistrate, for his
advice. The lady, he said, was in the
habit of giving cat parties in her gar
den, inviting all the stray tabbies and
toms in the locality by laying food for
them on the grass. The amateur garden
er would not mind if she provided sum-
cient refreshments for her guests, but
unfortunately the animals left the gard-

CAT HUNTS A NEW FAD.
Cruel New York Dudes and Terrier Dor
on Nocturnal expeditions

Cruel New York Dudes and Terrier Dogs
on Nocturnal Expeditions.
1.-THE giltcedge youths of Gotham
have adopted a new means Of nOctur-
nal amusement that is as brutal as
they think it delightful" said a New
York broker to a writer for the Wash
ington Star. "The latest fad is cat
hunting. You are familiar, of course,
with the crusade against cats which
the women of New York started some
time ago from humanitarian motives.
They regarded every cat that prowled
around the city as being homeless, end,
therefore, tired of life, so they went
around catching them and quitting
them. to death by means of anas-
thetics. The young bloods have fol-
lowed their example, but in a differ
ent manner Homeless felires are their
objects for humiliation also, but they
use bull terriers and fox terriers in
stead of chloroform. You can imagine
what a fight there is when a vicious
dog Of either Of the species named
tackles a cat who recognizes that it
must battle for its life. The young
men who pursue this brutal pastime
make regular engagements with each
other for a cat hunt, and really dress
for it. They wear old clothes and
rubber-soled tennis SHOES, so that they
may keep up with their dogs and not
attract policemen with their noise in
running. l heard two wcll-known
young men at the Brunswick one night
recently gloating over their expert
ences Of the night before and describ.
ing to an Interested group the great
fight that occurred when their dogs ut.

a residence, and the cute way in which
they escaped from the police, who
were attracted by the noise Of the
battle know I'll this is utterly de
PRAYED and shocking, but it is true
nevertheless"

ABrAOe Of MeAarchs Who Never Speak -
sgqDThey Pass by.
Indications OF the peculiar relations
existing between the courts Of Vienna
and Rome were manifested the other
day, when Emperor Francis Joseph was
permitted to cross over the Italian ter
~tory on his way to visit Emperor Will
liam at Abbazia, without any of the
customary forms of courtesy and atten-
ton being paid to him by the Italian
authorities.
This neglect by the Italians was
made all the nor pointed seeing that
King Humbert was at that moment at
Venice preparing to receive the visit Of
Emperor William, which followed inn
mediately after the departure Of the
Austrian monarch, who for a second
time passed several hours travelling
through the northern portion Of Italy
on the: way back to his capital.
The strained relations which led to
this lack of courtesy on the part Of King
Humbert are due, says the New York
Recorder, to the persistent refusal Of
the emperor andsempress to return at
Rome the state visit which King Hum
bert and Queen Marguerite were per-
suaded by their ministers to pay to the
court Of Vienna just ten years ago. The
visit ought to have been returned with
in at the Latest. twelve months, and the
emperor's hesitation and delay in the
matter I attributable to the compli-
cations which would arise in connec-
ton with the vatican. since the pontiff
absolutely refuses to receive at the
vatican any Catholic sovereign who has
not first paid his respects to the head
of the church before holding any inter
course with the rnirinal.

DlZZiED BY
LudicrOus Antics of a Great Man Upon q
London Street.

London Street.
James Hinton, the celebrated aurist
and essayist, was n of those men who
are absolutely oblivious to the impress
sion made upon the world by their own
eccentricities of demeanor. He was an
odd little man. AS some one once said
Of him: '"There never lived a man
with a whittier soul, a warmer heart or
a shriller voice." He wrote a book that
set the world talking, and also leaped
at once into a fine medical practice.
One day j. c.. Jeafreson was walking
along a London street, when he heard
his own name uttered in a high treble.
He says:
Turning quickly round, | saw a
little, fragile man dancing about the
pavement in high excitement, to the
considerable inconvenience of way
farers. 1t was James Hinton. Jump
ing up to me, he shook my hand, with
convulsive tugs, as he calculated:
I am SO very glad, SO inexpressibly
glad to see you! / have SO often wished
co see you and tell you all that has hap
pened!'
Having, by this time. shaken my
hand with more than sufficient cor
diality, he stepped back a lew PAGES
and, in doing SO, blundered against a
stout lady, and knocked a small boy
down into the gutter. After viewing
me in the right perspective, he danced
up to me again, and then danced before
me. calculating in the highest notes of
his shrin voice:
~ am SO delighted tosee you! There
is SO much for us to talk about! So
many things have happened that l
want to tell you about! DO you know,
] am q successful man, a very success
full man? I became a success all in a
minute. Isn't it ludicrous? You never
expected me to be a successful man.
No one thought it in the least degree
possible that l should be a success. No
one! no one! no one! See! that's my
carriage! Those are my horses! Is it
not absurd? Do, my dear fellow, say
it is absurd that | should drive about
London in my own carriage!'
Having thus, in complete innocence,
entertained a London crowd by his an
tics, he stepped into the wonderful car
rage and drove away, beaming."

The French are q most peculiar and

The French are a most peculiar and
exclusive people. A decree has just
been signed by President Carnot for
bidding the marriage of French diplo-
mates to foreign wives. This is merely
the revival Of an old law and is said to
have been called out by the marriage
of two French diplomats, P%atenotrc and
Daunay, to American wives. 1t is dis
claimed that the cdict is aimed directly
at Americans, and the object is pre-
tended to be the prevention of the dis
covery of secrets by foreigners through
the wives Of the ministry. The news.
papers quote several instances of this
character, in which it is conjectured
that important disclosures have been
made by the wives of French diplo-
mates abroad. It is alleged that this
is the main reason why President Car
not signed, the edict of prohibition, and
it will prevent several marriages which
are on the ia pts, notably that of the
French minister at Athens to the
daughter of the Italian minister at
Athens.

Digging Up Ancient Alexandria.

FOOT
There seems to be a likelihood that
the treasures which are supposed to be
buried in and around ancient Alexan-
dria may be brought to light before
long. A letter from Cairo, published
in the London Times, says: "A very
important symptom of the past season
has been the awakening of interest in
ancient Alexandria, and we shall prob
ably hear a great deal about the
Ptolemaic and Roman capital in the
future. It is the most unexplored site
in Egypt, and it is really astonishing
that we should know so little of what
was once the first city (and has always
been among the frst) or the Mediter-
ranean. The meeting place Of SO many
races, bound up with Jewish and early
Christian history, an unrivaled center
Of culture, the burial place of the
greatest of ancient conquerors and of
o long line of his successors, the most
singular and favored city in the Roman
empire, Alexandria has limitless posi-
bilities. The ancient city lies deep
under the modern; but, now that the
municipality is favorable, the new
museum has been organized and per-
sons of local influence are at work, we
may hope that an exploration has been
begun which will prove of extraordi-
nary interest if carried through"

An. Important Feature.

A certain doctor, living in the upper
part Of Utica. N. Y. has a bright and
observing four-year-old daughter. She
has q brother a few ycSTs older Of
whom she is very fond, and who, for
her amusement, sometimes draws
pictures on slate or paper. A few
evenings ago he was thus engaged: and
essaye1 to draw an elephant. He
shaped che body, head and legs, and
before adding the proboscis stopped a
moment to lock at it. The little girl
had been watching every stroke OF tho
pencil with great interest, waiting
patiently f2r him to finish, and when
nc stopped, and she Thought he was
done, exclaimed: why, Johnnie, you
fordOt to put on his satchel!"

TO STEADY THE NERVES

Is task to the accomplishment of which
narcotics and sedatives are inadequate.
The effect they produce is paralytic.
They destroy sensation without benefit
ing the nerves. Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, on the contrary, strengthens and
soothes the nervous system. Overwork
and mental anxiety weaken and relax it.
and there is no more reliable means of
bracing it and restoring nerve quietude,
than by reinforcing digestion and promot-
ing assimilation of the food-two effects
always consequent upon the use of the
great stomachic. Failing strength is re-
cuperated, a regular habit of body re-
stored, and appetite improved by the Bit
tiers. Disease must be regarded as an
exceedingly remote possibility by any one
whose system has been thus reinforced.
NIalarial disease, constipation, DYSPEPSIA,
rheumatism and kidney troubles are
overcome by and prevented by this stand
ard medicine, which has no peer among
American tones, and is in constant in
creasing demand in Mexico, the West
Indies and South America

OUR WAR WITH ENGLAND.

Come.

Concord, N. H., Oct. 2S.-An editorial
appears today in the Evening Monitor
Senator Chandeliers paper, written by the
senator and headed "Our Coming War
With England" 1t says in part:
War between, the United States and
England is inevitable. 1t will arise on
account of British disregard for our di-
rect interests. 1t will also be forced by
British encroachments upon other nations
all over the World. 1t will be fought by
us, having Russia as our European ally
AS a war of offensive on our part, it may
not happen within 20 years. AS a de-
fenSive war, it may come sooner and
should be welcomed. One sure result will
be the capture and permanent acquisition
of Canada by the United States"

would mean a saving of 27,000 over any

together with the knowledge that n
fine quality of long staple cotton is raised
in this section which will enable a mill
to manufacture the finer grade of cotton
goods which pay the best profits, and the
further fact of being able to get power
at merely nominal sum per annum,

Same Maverick ct al. VS.. Julia A. Bur-
ney ct al, trespass to try title; from
Bexar county, Fourth district.
There were three parties plaintiff, and
the petition alleged that each owned an
undivided one-fourth interest in the prem
ises in controversy, but did not allege
the interests held by the defendants,
Two of the plaintiffs on the trial below
were adjudged to recover the shares OF
land claimed by them, and defendants
were adjudged to recover the remaining
one-half, the claim of one of the plaintiffs
being barred by limitation. More than
two DAVIS after the trial, but before the
court adjourned for the term, the de-
PENDANTS filed motion for new trial, IN
which it was alleged that defendant May
erick had, prior to the. institution of this
suit, conveyed to several different per-
sons several parcels of the land, and that
they had taken possession and placed
their deeds upon record. The names of
these grantees and the dates of their re-
spectiye cOnveyauces were given in the
motion. and the same was verified by
affidavit.
We are of the opinion that the court
should have granted the motion in order
that Mavericks grantees might be made
parties to the suit. The deed of tenant
in common to n specific parcel of land Is
good as between the parties in TINS
State: and is voidable only by the CO.
tenants of the grantor, and not by them
except insofar as it may affect Their
rights. 40 Tex, 527; 80 Tex, 243; 81
Tex, 1856. So Tex, %; 60 Tex, 447.)
1t is well settled in this court that
whenever, in the course of partition
suit it is disclosed that all who have an
interest in the property to be divided are
not parties, it is the duty of the court to
arrest the proceedings until they are made
parties, and this should be done at any
stage of the case.
The petition should show that the par
ties, plaintiff and defendant, are entitled
to the entire estate. The doubt which
arises upon the sufficiency of the petit
ton in this case in this particular may
be avoided by an amendment to the pc
ton on another trial.
Reversed and remanded. Opinion by
Gaines, G. j.
VIM. Davis ct al. VS.. II. b. Andrews ct
al; motion for a rehearing in a case from
Bexar county, Fourth district.
The opinion in this case has been
formerly reported. The court in its opin-
ion on the motion for a rehearing reaf-
firms its former opinion and overrules the
motion. The ground of the former opin-
ion is that the granting of an injunction
against the sale of land by trustee I'M
der trust deed will not excuse the cred
itor who holds notes representing the
same debt, from beginning his suit within
the time prescribed by the statute of linn
itation; and that a failure to sue within
four years after the maturity of the notes
will subject them to bar under the
statute of limitations.
Motion overruled. Opinion by Den
