A CAT PARTY.
A baltimore Woman Gives a Most
Unique Entertninment.

A few days ago Mrs r. Dorsey Coale
sent out invitations for a Christmas
tree for cats" at her home. 500 Park ave-
nue..
Mrs Coale is a great lover Of cats. and
she determined that the cats of her house
hold and those of her friends should have
a unique entertainment for their especial
benefit. She did not include in her invita-
ton the felines of low degree which roam
the alleys and wall on back fences Of
nights TO the great disturbance of those
OF the human race who are wooing sIum-
Der. Only cats in the top set were in
vited.
As a rule the cats were escorted to the
house in white bags, with shirred-up
mouths, from which stuck the heads OF
the cats. One by one the queer-looking
bundles were carried through the doors
of Mrs. Coale's home. Then the cats
were let out of the begs.
After much smoothing down of rufied
fur and general ''primping." such. as
their mistresses might indulge In before
appearing In company, the cats COM
menced to get acquainted.
The especial host and hostesses were
Mrs Dorsey Coates Angora cats, Tiger
and Phoebe Ann, and Mrs. George b.
Coale's Tabitha. The last mentioned was
chaperoned by Miss Nellie Howison. Mrs.
Dorsey Coale's sister. who also loves cats.
AS a mark of honor TO the visitors, the
home cats wore big Elizabethan rufus OF
white paper tied with bows to blue and
of red ribbons.
The visitors wore ribbon bows to set
off their glossy fur coats They included
Mrs Frank Redwood's Maltese 'tO'Raf-
ferty" Gaeme Turnbulls Angora John
Murdoch Turnbull, and Hunt r. Mayo
Tbom's Rita
AS soon as the cats became a little ac-
quainted they We're shown a Christmas
tree which was brilliantly lighted for
their benefit The tree was hung with
imitation kittens and mice, for even cats
of high degree do not turn up their noses
al nice What interested the cats were
little jugs OF milk, which hung on the
tree, together with dainty baskets of raw
beef and boxes of catnip. These dainties
were distributed, and the cats commenced
their gustatory enjoyment. The visit
ors were a little shy over the beef, which
but all enjoyed the catnip.
After this treat the cats became play
full, and some were 50 familiar that they
quarreied with their friends and nearly
came 10 blows. They did exchange iit-
tie dabs al each other with fufled claws
and one was 80 imDolite as 10 spit" at
another.
All regretted the absence OF Mrs. VIII
Ham Reed B gray Thomas who sent his
regrets at not being able 70 join Ia the
festivities.
Like children az party the cats be-
came sleepy, and shortly curled them
selves into comfortable positions for maps
When this became general the cat family
Of the hostess was bundled on % bed.
the yisitort were returned 20 their BAGS
and carried on home, Aud 70 the cat
party ended.

AS soon as Sullivan finished his speech,
IhurstOn and Harrison, who had been
compelled TO laugh at its Oddity, stimuli
taneously extended to one another the
right hand. A hearty shake followed
now remained to be done but to have the
shooting match proposed by Sullivan. A
Deech about the size of a man was Sc
lected at sixty yards, and Thurston made
the hrst shot. The tree was hit on the
lett side, and Harrison acknowledged that
II he had been in its place he would have
had stitch IN the side. Harrison shot
next, and hit the tree in the center.
Thurston acknowledged that if he had
been there he most certainly would have
had a stomach ache. Breckenridge follow
ed and hit between the other two shots.
Last Of all, Sullivan shot and missed the
tree. A laugh followed at the expense of
Sullivan, but he said he shot thinking
the tree a man shooting at him, and sug
gested that if the others had shot at
men shooting at them their shots might
have been different.
The ball of Harrison having hit the
center 1t was decided that Thurston and
Breckenridge must pay for the liquor. off
all started in good humor for the grocery
store of Charles Nabb to get the whisky.
gallon was measured into a stone Jug
and after all had taken a friendly glass
the balance was voted to Sullivan for
his remarkable speech. Sullivan bore off
the jug in triumph, and Thurston and
Harrison were the same good friends in
after life that they had been before

"A RACE WITH DEATH" :"

Among the nameless heroes, none are more worthy of martydom than he who rode down the valley of the Conemaugh, warning the people ahead of the Johnstown flood Mounted on powerful horse, faster and faster went the rider, but the flood was swiftly gaining, until it caught the unlucky horseman and swept on grinding, crushing, annihilating both weak and strong.
 In the same way is disease lurking neari like unto the sword of Damocles, ready to fall without warning, on its victim, who allows his system to become clogged up, and his blood poisoned, and thereby his health endangered
 To eradicate all poisons from the system, no matter what their name or nature, and save yourself spell of malarial, typhoid or bilious fever, or eruptions, swellings, tu- mors and kindred Arrangements, keep the liver and kidneys healthy and vigorous, by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
 THE ONWARD MARCH of Consumption is stopped short by Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If you haven't waited beyond reason, there's com- plete recovery and cure.
 Although by many believed to be incur able, there is the evidence of hundreds and thousands of living witnesses to the fact that, in all its earlier stages, consumption is a curable disease.
 Not every case, but q large Pe,'centage of cases, and we believe,
 FULLY o8 PER CENT ARE CURED by Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-05-19

even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (including tubercu- lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme cancellation and weakness.
 Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by Golden Med ical Discovery were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis- representing them. and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of
 GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY, :" but who have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal nalady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey, and various preparations of the hypo- phosphites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
 The photographs of large number of those cured of Consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skil1fully reproduced in a book of I6o pages which will be mailed to you, on receipt of address and six cents in stamps. You can then write those cured and learn their ex- perience.

In the Harbor of VIadivostock- Japanese Divisions to Remain at Port Arthur.
 Will France Weaken?

London, May 1S-A dispatch from Yo- kohama says that General Komatzu, Japanese commander at Port Arthur. has started on his return to Japan. Two of the seven Japanese divisions, which have occupied Port Arthur, will remain in the occupation of that place while the present suspension of matters between Japan and Russia continues.
 Japanese newspapers, in their com ments upon Japan yielding to the de- mands of the protesting powers, state that the Russian consul has announced that torpedoes have been laid at the en- trance to the harbor of Vladivostock.

 II wish to say that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery saved my child's life. Our child had a cough from the time she was born until she was four years old, and she would cough until the blood would 'gush from her nose and mouth. She kept getting worse all the time until we got a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and commenced giving 1t. We gave nearly one bottle and it cured her. She is seven years old now, and she has never coughed any since. I will say here that there are others who cau testify to this on oath if you wish. It made f covery.'"
