Moodman,s Hurry.Up Resolution.

Washington, Dec. H. Representa-
tive Woodman, of Illinois, today in
troduced a joint resolution directing
the president to intervene in Cuban
affairs. The resolution, after recit-
ing Maceo's assassination and Spanish
cruelties in Cuba, says the president
having failed to carry out the wishes
of the people, the honor of the United
States is at stake, and history gives no
precedent Oh which to base a hope that
the Spaniards will consent to compli.
ance with civilized warfare.
The president is directed to express
severe condemnation Of Spanish meth
DDS of warfare, especially the murder
of Maceo; recognize the independence
of Cuba and demand of Spain the with
drawal of all troops from Cuban soil.
He is also directed to take proper steps
to see that this demand Is carried out.

Tr cling

A Los Angeles correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune furnishes a lively de-
scription of a wildcat hunt, as he says
the sport is followed in southern Cali
fOrnia. \ company of people, men and
women, with Il pack of eager dogs, have
chased Il cat till It has taken refuge in
Il sycamore tree. One after another
the hunters come up, on horseback, of
course, while the dogs sit in a circle
about the tree, making music. Now and
then one of the younger dogs makes
Il frantic attempt to climb the tree. The
cat, meantime, is sixty feet perhaps
above the ground, c%rouching on a big
limb, his eyes blazing green and yell
low, his ears twitching, and his short
tail moving back and forth.
"Now, ladies and gentlemen" says
the huntsman, form yourselves in a
circle about the tree and give the dogs
full play. and don't shoot. The hounds
have worked for the cat, and they de-
serve it. Again, it is the most humane
way of looking ut it.; the dogs will kill
the cat soOne than a bullet"
With this little speech delivered for
the benefit of the exc';able tenderfoots
in the hunt, the horses are arranged in
n big circle about the sycamore, and n
young man who wishes to beard the
lion in his den crawls slowly up.
AS he draws nearer, the cat looks
around in desperation. The tail
witches more ~nervously. CHANGING
down nj the open-mouthed dogs, then at
the approaching human enemy, the poor
animal is evidently considering the
chances. Nearer the climber comes,
until man and cat gaze into each others
eyes scarce three feet apart.
For a moment the puss h~esitates;
then, turning quickly, he steadies him
self, and with IA mighty spring is in the
air. Down he goes fifty feet, bounces
among the bush, n mass of springs,
steel and rubber, and Is away. He has
landed just beyond the circle. and a
horse has dashed aside TO let him pass,
followed by the pack in full cry. They
20 like a flash Of light. n roaring. crash
ing sound. A scream, and puss is again
visible, perched upon the limb of anoth-
er big sycamore.
The same thing is repeated again and
again, till the women repent, and cries
of Let him go!" Poor puss!" are heard
above the baying of the dogs that are
growing fairly mad with u%nappeased
f-erociousness.
Again the young man faces the cat.
this time fully sixty feet from the
ground. Surely If ever an animal had
won its liberty this one has. But the
game is up. The dogs are spreading,
and as out into the air the eat leaps in
magnificent form they collect.
Down he comes like a gigantic flying
squirrel, with legs spread far apart, the
soft, cushion-like pads ready for n re-
bound. Like a flash he cuts the air,
strikes the ground at the writer's feet,
and is enveloped in a whirlwind Of Zero.

The agony OF the cat is over in a sec.

To Petrify Human Bodies.

Chicago, Dec. lS.-Charles D. and
Frank Boydston, of this city, think
they have discovered a method of turn.
ing human bodies to stone and preserv.
ing them forever. In the basement
of their establishment there is the body
of a young woman who died July IS
last. This body since it was treated
by them has turned to stone, or to a sub.
stance resembling it, and appears to
be imperishable. In an upper room Of
the establishment is another body of a
woman who died August 20, which
appears also to have become petritied.
The brothers have been experiment.
ing for years, but the discovery Of a
process of petriticaiton was in some
respects an accident. Eight or ten
months ago they began to treat bodies
with a preparation which has petrify-
ing properties with such encouraging
results that they kept up their expert.
