The Various Departments at the Pretty
Enclosure to be Sublet Dy the Manager

The Various Departments at the Pretty
Enclosure to be Sublet Dy the Manages
msnt.
The MANAGEMENT of Union Park has
decided to sublet everything within the
enclosure. excepting the stage amuse-
ments. The different departments have
been advertised and numerous inquiries
have been received by the management.
A Bridgeport. Conn, man has made the
best offer so far. and as he wants to con-
troll everything, excepting the stage, i is
possible his terms may be accepted. The
principal rights that will be sublet will be
the toboggan slide, dancing pavilion and
refreshment booths.
1t is the intention of the management 10
look solely after the gate and the stage
amusements. The costly band shell will
be so altered as to admit of high class
opera performances. It will be SO arranged
as to accommodate a set of scenery and
other accessories to frst-class theatrical
stage. The floor space dimensions after the
alterations are made will be 32x30 feet. 4
Negotiations are now pending for book
ing number OF high-class opera COM
panies, and it is the intention TO make a
veritable summer theatre out of Che park,
in addition to the other features. Amuse-
ments will be offered the public continu-
ally. if the necessary preliminary arrange
ments do not fail.
The walks will also be put in good shape
and everything will be more attractive than
ever. II was intended to build a covered
walk from the gate to Union street, but
that idea has been abandoned.
Great preparations are being made for
the grand opening on Memorial Day. May
Both, when an elaborate musical pro
gramme will be given. ,.
First-class street car accommodations
have been promised.

Discussion of Their Right to Meet Vessels
Mt Other Ports.


The committee on pilots and navigation
of the Board of Port Wardens of Philadel-
phia, met Monday for the second time to
adjust the dispute between thd ilots con-
corning the right Of pilots to 81 by rail to
neighboring ports to bring vel sels to this
port, and thus forestall the cruising pilot
boats. Protests against the 'parlor car
pilots as those are designated who travel
to other ports for vessels. were heard at a
previous meeting, and Monday the other
side of the question was presented by
Pennsylvania Pilots Clampitt and Long.
They submitted an extended remonstrance
against any change IN the service. claim
ing that the field should remain open to
all as it always has BEEN. They argued
that the same opportunities were offered
to every pilot, whether from Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware or New Jersey.
In answer to the argument that 1t would
be impossible to maintain the pilot boat
service if the practice OF Meeting vessels
at other ports should be allowed to con-
tinue, Messrs. Clampitt and Long sub
mitted this proposition ''All vessels hav-
ing Pennsylvania pilots board from neigh
boring and foreign ports to pay a full
third of the inward pilotage to the first
i Pennsylvania pilot boat speaking the iny
ward vessel. In event of vessel not
being spoken, a full third to be paid over
to the treasurer of the Pilots Society for
distressed pilots, their widows and their
children"
The matter was not settled Monday as
the committee will hear the views of the
Maritime Exchange before acting.

CAT NURSING 4 RAT.


MIDDLErowN, Nd, May 1%-Joshua
Slifer of Bolivar, the Middleton Valley.
Frederick county, has u cat which is at
present nursing young rat us carefully as
If IL was one of her own offspring.
The cat has two kittens, and one day
last week she killed an old rat and then
caught young one and carried it alive to
her nest, presumably for the kittens to
eat. Instead OF devouring It, however. the
kittens made friends with the stranger,
aud since then the old mother cat has
treated the rat as If it was one OF tue
family.
Strange to say, the rat refuses to leave
the kittens even when the old cat goes
away. The cat fondles and nurses the rat
in the most natural manner. A day or
two ago one kitten was seen at the rear
teat and the other at the front teat, while
the rat was in the middle, pulling away
for dear life, and the old cat as uncon-
cerned as if nothing unusual was going on.

1t is likely that the principal stores in

o'clock in the etening, except saturdays.
Last year the movement was pretty gen
eral and it proted success. The clerks
were very much benefited and appreciated
the generosity of their employers, and
they see no rebon why it should not be
equally successful this year. A canvass
has been made among number of the

there will be nothing lost and the plan
will be rather beneficial than otherwise.
