CHECKED ny A KITTEN.
A Rapid Transit Car which Was

From the Baltimore Sun.
One little kitchen, about five inches In
length. held in check Monday morning
the downtown traffic over the City and
Suburban railroad at the corner of Park
and North avenues.
A summer car on the John street branch
stopped there about $50 o'clock to take
on passengers, when the kitten, sitting
on the sidewalk leisurely inspecting the
car, suddenly determined on a personal
investigation of the inside workings Of
rapid transit.
She ran out into the street Immediately
underneath the heavy battery Of the car
and began clambering about the machin-
cry. The conductor and several of the
passengers saw her and an effort was
made to chase the kitten away. Canes
and umbrellas were thrust underneath the
car at her and many emphatic commands
to "shoow were given, but it was evident
she was too new in the world to under

Walter Wellman in Chicago Times Herald
Washington, June 21.-There is a story

his friend Gresham To tell II may seem

mourner, but the facts speak so eloqucnt-
ly of the tenderness and feeling of a man

with the remains OF the late Secretary
Gresham, Mr. Cleveland held very little
conversation with his associates. He pre-
ferred TO sit alone, busy with his thoughts.
At length he asked one of his cabinet
ministers to escort him forward to the
baggage car. where the coffin was car
ried, and, arriving there, indicated a
wish to be left alone. OF course, his inti-
nation vas Immediately respected, and
the President was left alone with the
dead. An hour or so later, the President
not returning to the stateroom set apart
for his use. two members of the cabinet
went forward to the funeral car They
feared the President might have been
overcome by the heat, or that some ac-
cident had happened to him. They found
President Cleveland on mis- knees by the
bier of the dead secretary, his arms rest
ing atfectionately upon the coffin, his
eyes full of tears. Apparently he had no
notion of the flight Of time He was as
sisted to rise to his feet and was then es-
corted back TO his stateroom. In this
apartment he remained during nearly
all the remainder of the journey, and a
servant, who went to take the Presi-
dents orders found him lying in his
Berth, his face buried in the pillows.

Perhaps one Of tho smallest checks
ever issued by the United States govern

received by any attorney was received
by Daniel j. O'Brien of Albany, who
received check from the United States

United States treasurer at New York,
for the sum of cents. This check has
story attached to it. During the war
of the rebellion Mr. O'Brien was an
officer ON cruiser Of the northern navy.
on which Richard w. Allen, also Of A.

At tho close Of the war the govern.
ment distributed among the seamen Of
the navy tho prize money made by sell
ing vessels captured during the war. In
the distribution Allen, who, with
O'Brien, left the navy at the end Of the
war, was omitted. O'Brien, acting ~
Aliens attorney, sent in claim for
prize money to the navy department in
1867, and since then, through the sue
ceeding 2S years, he pressed Aliens
claim ut intervals. To each demand
sent III tho navy department responded
that the matter was under consideration.
The other day the postmaster handed
Mr.. O'Brien letter from the navy de
partment. Mr.. O'Brien opened it, and
there lay the check he had been expect
ing for 20 years. He glanced hastily at
the figures OH the precious slip OF psper
