GOT RID Of THE CATS. (

Clever Plan of a New York Landlord
to Rid His Premises of Serenaders.
The inhabitants of row of fine fat
houses in the Harlem district of New
York have for a long time past been
greatly annoyed by nocturnal cat Choir
uses, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. In
desperation plans of poisoning and
shooting were discussed, but the owner
of the flats, who resided in one of them,
and was law-abiding man, deter
mined to adopt better plan, and have
some sport at the same time. Placing
two traps on either side of the alley
ways adjoining his flats, he attached
wires to the traps, making wire con-
nection with an electric bell in his
cellar. When a frislSy feline took the
bait, he came quickly on the scene
and put the quarry into a bag. Cap
tives were turned over to the S. P. C.
A. and taken away in patches of from
three to ten every night. When about
70 of the unwelcome serenaders had
been transferred in this way, the strain
on the society proved too severe, and
the landlord was told to do his own
execution in future.
His first idea was to electrocute the
animals, but he found that the appara-
tus necessary was somewhat too elab-
crate. Finally he took the simpler way
of inserting in a barrel a tube con-
nected with gas jet. The cat was
dropped in, the lid was shut down,
the gas was turned on and the driver
of the dead wagon was told by tele-
phone to call.
The neighborhood is now cleared of
cats, and the slumbers of the sleepers
in the flats are no longer disturbed.

THE MOST POPULAR WOMAN.

Dolly Mndiscn's Frank, Cordial MAN.
ner, and Ingenious DemeanOr.
No woman is more closely or fondly
associated with the white house than
Dolly Madison, writes Clifford How
ard of ''When Dolly Madison saved the
Declaration of independence" in La
dies Home Journal. During the eight
years that her husband occupied the
position of secretary of state under
Jefferson's administration she was al
most as frequently called upon to do
the honors at the receptions and levees
at the presidents house as in her own
home, where she entertained in de-
lightful and sumptuous manner. She
was, therefore, fully prepared for the
duties that devolved upon her as mis-
tress of the white house upon the cleo
ton of Mr.. Madison to the presidency.
In the graceful and skillful perform
ance of her delicate task she gained
the admiration of everyone, and added
to the popularity she had already won
both for herself and her husband.
Through the potent influence of her
personal charms, to which were added
n frank and cordial manner, sweet,
ingenious demeanor, and the happy
faculty of adapting herself to the views
of those about her, she readily became
a general favorite. Before her reign
at the white house was concluded she
was the most popular woman in the
United States e.

Enect of EIectricitv on.seed.

Experiments recently made at the
Massachusetts, agricultural college tend
to prove that electricity exerts an ap-
preciaole influence on the termination
of seeds. When current of the proper
strength is applied it hastens the ger
mination and early growth of the
sprouts, but its influence diminishes
as the plant increases in size. Seeds
subjected to single application of cleo
tricity show the effect for only few
hours, but if the current is applied
hourly it acts constantly, except that as
the plants mature the beneficial effect
is gradually lost.-N. Y. Sun.

birds stranreIv ConcenIed.

Mr.. A. H. Thayer, an artist, believes
he has discovered that the light color
of the under parts of birds and small
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. At a recent meeting of
the American Ornithologists' union he
proved by experiments that an object
nearly of the color of the ground, like
a potato, is very conspicuous when
placed few inches above the soil and
viewed from little distance. But
when the under side is painted white
and gradually shaded into the color of
the upper part, the object disappears
by blending with the ground; the
whiteness beneath counteracts the eff
feet of the shadow of the body.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 6.-Passengers
on the Colorado express, westbound,
on the Santa Fe road, had trying ex-

O'Clock in the morning, at point ten
miles east of Dodge City, Kan, the
train stuck fast in deep cut that had
been filled with snow, and until noon
following not wheel was turned.
The passengers were warm and COM
Portable in the cars, and when, after
nearly ten hours imprisonment, they
began clamoring for something to eat,
the trainmen proved equal to the emer-
gency. In the express car the con-
ductor found several crates of eggs and
several pals Of fresh oysters. The ex-
pressman had some cornmeal and salt
and pepper, which he had been carry
ing for an emergency. The trainmen
then turned in with these articles and
prepared a Sunday dinner, that was
served to the hungry passengers on
pieces of pasteboard, shortly before
noon. Six tramps who had been rid

and partook Of the express messengers

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
Downing, Hopkins q Company's Review
OF Trade.

Downing, Hopkins Company's Review
OF Trade.
The wheat market has every indica-
ton of an upward tendency. 1t hard
ened steadily last week in the face OF
bank failures, and was only affected by
them temporarily. A good percentage
of the traders were afraid to go into
the market, owing to the unsettled con-
dition of finances in Chicago last week.
Local influences, however, are only OF
transient character, the market be-
ing governed more by foreign advices,
and also by the great strength OF the
domestic situation, which overshadows
almost everything in the way OF local
bearish factors. Had the market been
local one prices would have gone low
er, but the timely buying of foreigners
offset the bearish influences, and made
sentiment bullish, overriding every
thing bearish. English traders who
were sharp enough to foresee their
wants early in the fall, and took adj
vantage Of it by buying them from
three to four months in advance, al
most before the American spectators
were aware of it, have come in the
market within week and taken mil
lions Of bushels of both cash and fu-
lures for shipment during the next four
months, while local traders were as
rule afraid to take the buying side. 1t
is claimed by operators in position to
know that there is larger short inter-
est than at any time within sixty days.
The Northwest is short against it's cash
holdings there. Foreigners have alb
sorbed the surplus wheat that is afoat
in the pit. 1t is difficult to buy any
large lines without sending prices up
rapidly, if any Of the recognized lead
ers are credited with being at the back
Of the orders. This leaves the market
in a stronger position than ever, and
those who watch the pit operations
closely are confident that prices will
advance to 9Oc within the near future.
The visible stocks are IA, 900, 900 BUSH
els less than last year.
Foreigners Ire expected to lead the
buying again next week.
