A Cat with Two Wings.

An extraordinary creature is report
ed from Reach, Cambridgeshire. A
French or Persian cat, the property of
David Badcocl, publican, residing in
the village, has recently been found to
possess two wings, resembling those OF
a duckling. The phenomenon was not
suspected, owing to its long hair, until
being roughly handled it spread out its
wings. It Is about twelve months old.

he ate at restaurant and was tired of

dinner.

was amazed to find her mother and the
despised neighbor sitting opposite each
other, one vehemently complimenting
the dinner, and the other blushing and
protesting feebly. Mr. Throberty said
that Mrs. Leutz should be sent across
the street to take lessons.
He had tried the Leutzes' cooking,
and that's why he boarded at the res
taurant. Then he told of the objec-
tions he had to certain cheeses and
sausages sold in a delicatessen store,
and said he had ordered Leutz to move
out as soon as the lease was up
Mrs. Mackus had new opinion of the
neighbor after that day and could offer
no reasonable objection to his calls, es-
pecially as he was deeply interested in
Eleanor.
"If she was my girl" he said one
day, "she should have the finest educa-
ton that music-teachers could give
her."
When man begins to talk that way
he is undermining every resolv" OF
widowhoodl
Be it said to the credit of Mrs. Mack
us that not until the matter was all ar
ranged and the day set did she learn
that Saunders Throberty owned five
or six other houses In addition to the
Leutz place and drew royalties every
three months on patent steam nipper
or something of the sort. And in JUS
tice to Mr.. Throberty it may be said
that he did not know or care that the
widow had money in the bank. He
was ready to yet out of lonely bach
elorhood and it was the good cheer,
the singing and the cooking that
tempted him.
There was to be nothing revolution
ary. The repair shop was to remain in
the basement, Mrs. Mackus stock was
to 90 in the delicatessen room and the
apartments above were to be newly
furnished and Eleanor was to have a
piano.

They jump up one by ono,
And hop about and pop and prance

YAVApAI COUNTY.
There. Is no Smallpox in Pres
 colt.
A False Rumor in Circulation-A Chinaman Killed By Run-
 away Team.

From the Prescott Courier.
 Clarence Howell has just returned from the mining districts of Mohave county, where he says reports have been circulated that smallpox is prev alent in Prescott and that accommo- dations for visitors are very limited. The health of this section was never better and there is not solitary case of smallpox or other contagious disease within the boundaries of this county, which statement will be vouched for by every physician in the county. Every preparation possible is being made for the entertainment of the visitors.
 Yesterday morning Yee Jack Chong, a Chinaman aged about 50 years, was driving his span of horses hitched to @ heavy freight wagon on Granite street, when the horses ran away. Chong fell from the seat, the wagon wheels passing over his chest and abdomen inficting injuries of which he died in about an hour. He formerly ran ranch at Wal nut Grove, and for years peddled be. tween Prescott and Phoenix. He recently started store on Granite street. His funeral takes place today. As he was man of good standing with his na tionalitv, his funeral ceremonies will probably be replete with pagan pomp The wagon was run into tree and broken up somewhat.

 Col. 0. D. Poston yesterday filed in district court an interesting suit against Prof. Theo. Comstock, president of the territorial university, Fred Lunsford, foreman at the agricultural experiment tai station near Phoenix, and c. F.. Ainsworth. For some time past and until June IS. the plaintiff recites that he was in possession of the building and lands at the station. On that date. he charges that Lunsford, acting at the in- stigation of Dr. Comstock, caused the plaintiff to be arrested for pretended ofense, and during his absence at a magistrates court his belongings at the station were thrown out and he was thus dispossessed. The plaintiff also charges that while his personal prop erty was exposed it was "looJed by Lunsford and other persons unknown
 The object of the suit is to regain pcs. session of the building at the station and for such other relief as the court may order.

 Other Claims Near Goldfleld.
of THE REPUBLICAN.

Correspondence of THE REPUBLICAN.
 GoLDFIELD, Ariz., June 24.-P Progress is being made on the Stella W. claim under the direction of Mr. Jno. Mo- Farland, an experienced miner and one of the owners of the property. Quite 6 body of water has been encountered, but 30 far not in sufficient amount to seriously interfere with working the lower drifts. Development work will be pushed with energyas soon as the ore exposure will warrant it. Present working is forwarded with caution and the ground is being very carefully test ed as the work progresses.
 Pumping is being done regularly and continuously from the Bulldog shaft, a large amount having been accumulated since the work ceased and the mine closed down, there is sufficient water seaping into the mine to sup ply the ten stamps now being erected.
 All is life and hustle on the Bulldog now. The large storehouse is about completed and is very handsome structure presenting very imposing appearance. It is built of soft gray stone, quarried about two miles from the Bulldog camp, and is we'll laid up in mortar, the whole being done in a thoroughly workman-like manner.
 The erection of the stamp mill is be- ing pushed with all speed consistent with good work. The grading has been done with regard to furnishing the greatest amount of useful space and

HOW TO HIRE TEACHERS
A System of Competitive Examina-
 tions Suggested.

A System of Competitive Examina-
 tions Suggested.
 A communication in THE REPUBLICAN yesterday relating to the manner of filling subordinate places in the schools and recommending placing the matter in the hands of the superintendent was discussed by those interested in school affairs. The chief arguments in its favor were that the superintendent or principal would likely be more capa- ble judge of teachers qualifications than the average member of board of education. Then again being held re- sponsible for the work of the subordi- nate teachers. the principal should have a voice in the choosing of them.
 Against the proposition is the fact that the authority so placed in the hands of the principal is unusual and might be unwisely emr loved.
 A member of the board of education speaking of the subject yesterday said the board would gladly be relieved of the responsibility, but he suggested another method now employed in some places and which may be brought into use here, a competitive examination of teachers, employment given to those who rank highest, not alone in educa tion, but in all points which constitute the successful teacher. These exami- nations are held before regularly es- tablished and competent board, oi which the superintendent or principal is the head.

the terraces are placed so that the working of the mill can be most economically done. The beds, blocks, and mortars are all in position and so far the whole is No. l job, and if everything is completed as laid out, there will not exist anywhere hand. somer plant or more convenient one.
 Buildings are springing up all over the Bulldog camp and it is already a larger town than Goldfeld. Many are temporarily confined to tents and shacks, but there are quite number of fine buildings erected or in course of erection.
 MT. N. Ellis, the genial manager of the Bulldog properties, assisted by his foreman are systematically pushing the work with the view of placing the property on paying basis at the earliest possible time; and if progress is continuous in two weeks or less sui icient progress will have been made to warrant the resumption of operations in sinking on the ledge and working in the lower drifts.
 The Mammoth mine is working about as usual. The mill will be run on ores from the Superstition mine as well as their own, possibly all of the stamps may be started up.
 MT. Cosuer and MT. Wheeler are in town and will open the foater work ings probably with small force of men.

CAME TO LIGHT. Two Crimes Long Cov- cred Up in Court. Officials During CleVe- lands First Term Feather Their Nests With Pulp

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-Two sensa- tional cases which never had publicity, although they have been in United States circuit court three years, were brought to light today. They are suits against Wm. J. Bryan, who was post master here under President Cleve- lands first administration, and John c. Quinn, who was internal revenue collector under President Harrison.
 Both men, who are very prominent, are charged with being short in their accounts. It is alleged that Bryan embedded $9.399. and that Quinn em- bezzled $5, ,S31 during their respective terms of office. The bondsmen of each official are made defendants in the suits.
 The facts leaked out when the United States district attorney asked to have the estate of W. w. Stow substituted for W. w. Stow as bondsman. Bryan is charged with appropriating monies received for the sale of postage stamps and Quinn with embedding revenue monies.
