ATTENTIVE TO CATS.

Two Paris Women Who Daily Feed Scores
of Them.
A lady who lives near the Jardin des
Plantes, or old Partisan zoo, is a provi-
dence to the stray cats OF her neighbor-
hood. She feeds daily hundred at the
Bercy wine market, where they are al
lowed to live In the cellars. This lady
believes In the transmigration of souls,
and says she feels as II she was form
erly incarnate in a woman who hated
animals. Her extreme sensibility u
their sufferings is, she also feels, the
punishment melted TO her. She has In
an clubhouse a number of mutilated and
sick cats that she rescued.
Another lady attends to the cats in
the Palais de Justice. the Central mar
kets, the prefecture of police and the
Sorbonne. There are 30 cats at the
Palais de Justice. They are in the habit
of being regularly fed. When anything
prevents their benefactress coming in
the nick of time they go out to meet
her, and follow her TO the court at the
west side of the palais. A number of po-
licemen witness her arrival, and help.
She is pleased to think that she has
awakened a spirit of humanity in the
police force. Policemen who know her
are 10th to destroy cats, or to pass them
on to vivisectors.

CITY AND COUNTRY CATS.
Many Curious Points of Difference Be-
tween the Furry Animals.


tween the Furry Animals.
An observer has noted that there ex-
list many points of difference between
country and city cats. The country
cats, he declares, are larger and heavier
than those of the city, no reference be-
ing made in this comparison to such
civic cats as might come under the
head of "pampered PETS" but only to
plain cats-the' cats of the back yard
and the housetop. This superior weight
of the country cat, the observer says,
is easily attributable to the diet of small
field animals and birds which it en-
joys. But there are other peculiarities
of difference, lie proceeds, which are not
so easily attributable to diet. For in
stance, the color of the country cat is
generally either gray or tortoise shell,
the commOner color being gray. On
the other hand, observes the cat expert,
the preponderating color among city
cats is black.
In the next place the color of the eyes
in city and country cats is found to be
very different, the latter leaning large
1y togray and green, while the city cats
eyes are mostly yellow and having far
more glittering in them than have their
country cousins. In the matter of
tails, too, there is difference, the city
cats tail being much longer and car
ried more nearly on a level with the
back than that of the country cat. The
country cats paws are much fatter,
broader and softer than the town cats
the pads of the former being like vel
vet, and those of the latter like rubber.
Altogether, between the big barreled
gray, hght-eyed, velvet-footed country
eat, slipping noiselessly through the
young wheat stalks, and the scrawny,
long-tailed, yellow-eyed city cat patter-
ing down an alleyway like o flying shad-
ow, there are such differences as will,
says the observer, result in time in the
formation of two distinct species-Felis
rusticus and Felis urbanis.-N. Y. Sun.

last night, which was attended by four Of
the six Senators, and six Of the eight rep
resentatives. The following statement was
given out as a result of the consultation:
"Purported interviews with peoples party
Senators and Congressman in the press 70
the effect that the peoples party might
support the nominee of one of the old par
ties for President are wholly untrue. No
such interviews have been given out or
will be given out. There seems to be an

part of the monopolisttc and gold press to
put the peoples party Senators and Con-

THE INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS.
Bill Passed by the Senate After n
Long Debate.

Dill f'QsseU ny the senate After n
Long Debate.
The Senate yesterday afternoon passed
the Indian appropriation bill, after a long
discussion. The debate on the Dawes COM
mission amendment was protracted. In the
| course of it Mr.. Vest spoke of the condi-
| tons in the Indian territory as constituting
| a national pest house and nuisance, a
| harbor of refuge for criminals, depreciating
| property in adjoining states one-third
Mr.. Jones spoke vehemently against the
| rule of crime and outrage in the Indian
| country, and appealed to the Senate to put
! an end to it by this reformatory amend
ment. Mr.. Bate, on the other hand spoke
of the "bummers, land grabbers and thieves
| seeking to rob the Indians, and who would
be given further powers by this amend
| ment."
Mr.. Plat, author of the amendment, de-
| ciared that nowhere in Russia, Armenia or
| Cuba, more brutal and savage conditions
! exist than in this Indian country Five
hundred white men, masquerading as In
dams, had seized the property and the gov
eminent OF the Indians, making the expert
ment of Indian self-government a failure
! The money appropriated for these Indians
was used In hiring lobbyists to send here
and prevent legislation. Mr.. Plat declar-
| ed that he had never during his Senatorial
service known of the use of SO much money
| on lobbies to defeat legislation. 1t was
| time Congress put an end to this foul blot
and disgrace on our national honor.
After further debate the presiding officer
ruled the entire amendment out on the
| point of order made by Mr.. Walthall, that
| 1t contemplated general legislation
Several minor amendments were made to
the BILL the most important being the in
sertion of the item Of $lGOO,OOO for paw
ment of the Cherokee outlet fund, when
| had been struck out by the committee. The
| Indian appropriation bill, as thus amended
was then passed.
A bill appropriating 100000 for a public
building at Nashua, N. f., was passed
The sundry civil appropriation bill was
| then taken up with the agreement that it
should not displace the bond resolution as
| the unfinished business.
Senators Pettigrew, Teller and Cockrell
We're named as conferees on the Indian bill
Bills were passed for an additional cir
cult judge in the sixth judicial circuit; an
propriating $4,000 to two daughters of the
| late Thomas A. Walter for his services as
architect of the Capitol extension; appro-
| priating 100000 for a public building at
| Salt Lake City, and S1SS,OOO for a public
building at Ogden, Utah; for the disposal
| of the abandoned Fort Shaw military reser-
| walton, Montana, under the homestead and
