Suit for $4,000 damages was brought
yesterday in the district court against
the city by Robert S. Nutting, as ad-
n2inistrator of the estate of Margaret
Connolly, for the death of the girl, who
was nearly seven years of age, which
occurred last April. She was drowned
in Phalen creek. The complaint sets
forth that the spring rains swell the
stream to dangerous limit, Over the
creek at Fifth street the city had built
a stone arch and wall over which
many people were accustomed to cross
daily. This wall is alleged to have
been left unguarded. While walking
over it the deceased child had slipped
and fallen into the creek. She was
washed down through the arch by the
swift current into a tunnel and thus
met her death. The child was a

great number of flower booths. The
of all love affairs.
1t does not take long for young Span
lard TO fall in love. He does not require
six months acquaintance with a young
lady to discover whether he loves her or not.
He may merely have caught a glimpse of
the fair one at mass; have followed her
home and, concealed near her latticed case
ment, have heard her sing of love, etc.,
to the accompanIment of a guitar.
He acts promptly, and, by the way
there is bat one affair in which young
Spaniard does act prom pity, and that is
in an affair of the heart. He obtains an
impassioned epistle from an escritorio
publico, or public writer, which is deity
concealed in a bunch of the fragrant mi
mosa, and with the eonnivance OF a flower
booth keeper it is soon in the hands of the
object of his devotion. The next time
they meet he is rewarded by futter of
her fan or significant look.
His troubles do not end here, however
The ancient custom of employing duennas
or governesses to keep e watchful eye
upon the unmarried females of family
still practically prevails Some mothers
even go so far upon occasions as to lock
their daughters in upper rooms. If the
attentions of the young man are not
looked upon favorably, a ladder is the
only way tc his love, and romantic fight
by night the last resource.
The fondness of the Spanish women for
dancing is proverbial, and an enthusiastic
writer says: "Who realizes so completely
inc f1I -,
sweep of their matchless forms all the
ideal perfection of Hogsrth's famous lire
of beauty as the Spanish woman"
The lace mantillas of song and story are
still largely worn by women of the lower
and middle classes. The gente fina or
gentlefolks, now very generally take their
fashions from Paris.
The Spanish court, however. has al
ways been noted for its Oriental glitter
and the state toilettes of Queen Regent
Maria Christiana and the maids of honor
are gorgeous beyond description, being of
every color in the rainb bow. and literally
studded with precious gems. Ordinarily
however, the Queen dresses in excellent
taste.
great hero in the eyes of the fair Cas-
hlIana is the bull-fghter. The fact that
the matadors are recruited from the lower
classes does not prevent them from hav-
ing many fair admirers, even among ladies
OF noble lineage. Not many wears ago a
famous matador was killed in the field by
AN Andalusian bull. His trunks, when
opened, we're found to be filled with locks
OF halr, ribbons faded bouquets and love
ietters-many OF the latter sealed with
coronets and signed by the proudest beau
ties in the land.
Inc tremendous excitement in the
higher circles of the court following this
discovery eliminated in the permanent
disappearance from the latter of certain
iaoles OF high degree, and the enforced re-
tlrement OF others to the convent.

stubble fields, in close pursuit of fright
ened rabbit which was fleeing for life.
The success of the chase is, however, al
ways apparent when the feline hunter
comes proudly home and lays his long
cared prey before his mistress.
The ancient Egyptians appreciated the
cat as household genius so highly that
they deified, or at least ''beatified," it in
their sacred calendar, and its mummy is
found entombed along with those of
Pharaohs and high priests.
The Aryan legend, The Cat of Knowl-
edge" which has come down to our times
and climes as "Puss in Boots,' is evidence
of the estimation in which the animal
was held on the Himalayan plateau,
whence our race descended to cover the
earth with knowledge. while in modern
times the well-known tale of "Whitting-
ton and His Cat" sust aims the reputation
for energy and dash that the feline race
has obtained wherever it has dwelt.
The good people of Rockland County
have much the same regard for Nimrod
that the ancient Egyptian had for his cat,
and any offer of sale would be declined
and regarded as nothing short of sacri-
lege. His exploits are looked upon as re-
flecting great credit upon the folk of the
countryside, and any serious mishap to
this most remarkable cat would be re-
garded as a most dire calamity.

In appearance he is big black animal

white spot on his body, that being on the

partridge in his mouth, while Sport car

They deposited their spoils at the feet of
Miss Cook, and Nimrod seemed quite put
out when the snake was not put into the
pot and boiled with the partridge. He
seemed, however, to realize that snakes
are not popular as an article either of COM
merce or diet, and since then has never
brought any more home.
Another peculiar feature of Nimrod' s
hunting is that the game be brings to his
mistress is of the very best. No maney
mink whose fur would not have market
value does he ever bring in to lay at his
m istress' feet; no unfeathered fowl will he
soil his jaws with. All must be clean,
wholesome and plump or puss will have
none of it, and in that prolific part of the
country, the "fere nature" being plentiful
as yet, Puss can afford to be particular and
difficult to please.

TITrERE is black cat with an actual
@4 hunting record which is unequaled
I%IA by any hunter in Rockland County,
Vermont.
Minks, woodchucks, rabbits and part
ridges are the game which he prefers. He
scorns with lofty disdain to hide behind a
brush or tree and pounce out upon some
tiny chipmunk or small bird. He is a true
hunter, with all the instincts of sports
man and for versatility is a modern "puss
in boots"
Nimrod is the very appropriate name of
this bunting cat, and he is owned by Miss
Nina Cook of Poultney, which is situated
on the shores of Lake st. Catherine, in the
Green Mountain State. This remarkable
feline is also addicted to the more gentle
art of angling as well as the excitement of
wood sports and the chase. And it is no
uncom mon thing for him to land perch,
pickerel or an occasional bass weighing
three or four pounds.
In addition to his prowess in the chase
this wonderful cat has social qualities that
make him an acquisition to any house
hold. He accompanies the families to the
neighbors' houses and behaves prettily as
a visitor, never scratching the children
nor quarreling with the dogs. He has
his special chair at the dinner table and
waits to be helped as the other guests,
asking a blessing with a contented purr
of thankfulness and then tapping his
milk or nibbling his chicken as daintily
as young lady at ball supper.

tact, she would not wonder if puss should
one day bring in a fox thrice as big as
himself, slung over his back. But minks,
squirrels and other game, whose fur is of
value, are never scattered about thus care
lessly, but are always carefully laid down
at the feet OF his owner, and the customary
word OF approval waited for and received
with soft purr of satisfaction.
Living as he does on the shores of Lake
st. Catherine, Nimrod has ample oppor-
tunity to practice the piscalorial art, his
favorite fishing ground being the trunk OF
fallen tree, whish overhangs a deep pool
in the lake.
Here, when there is no ice to interfere
with his work, Nimrod lies like a black
panther, extended at full length along the

down goes a sleek black paw and the
sharp claws are buried in the side of. tn e
fish. There is no escape for the "fnny
one," and cat takes his catch home in
triumph.
The hardest battle which Nimrod has
yet had was with a woodchuck, which
refused to be killed without a tough fight.
Nimrod was game, however, and after
receiving some severe bites and scratches
he managed to get good "backhoId" on
the woodchuck and by a quick turn to
break his neck.
The skins of the animals which Nimrod
has brought home have when sold added
not little TO the pin money" of his
mistress, while as a provider of "game in
season" for the table Nimrod has no equal
in all the country.
OF course puss is one of the lions of the
countryside. Every traveller is told of his
exploits and if possible brought to see the
hero OF them. Ali such visits are received
calmly and with dignity. Puss evidently
realizes his position as the champion
hunter OF the county and looks upon the
homage paid as merely public recognition
of a self-evident fact needing no COM
ment.
1t is now proposed by the hunters of the
county 10 present puss with silver cham
pion's belt or rather collar, which will no
doubt be worn with pride and repaid with
double exertion on the part of the CRATE
full rec cipient, for Nimrod Is no churl and
would scorn TO accept undeserved favors.
That the cat manages to catch such shy
birds as partridges and such feet footed
animals as rabbits is a matter of much
comment among those who are personally
familiar with its prowess in the field.
AS stalker Nimrod is a brilliant
success but he has been seen in the early

ments in the hunting field his fur is
always spotIessiy clean and his nails
deftly manicured, and no one would ever
imagine that they had ever been buried in
a rats vitals or had scratched the shiny
skin of snake.
His wniskers especially are trained like
those OF Partisan gentleman of fashion,
and while they can bristle fierceIy in a
fight, can also curl coquettishly when
greeting friends or welcoming good look
ing strangers whose appearance may
chance to please his tickle fancy.
HIS peculiar 'miaow' is mutiphonic
and would almost persuade the hearer
that the cat has a language of his own,
artlcuiar auu phonetic. In fact, the fam
lily has arrived at the understanding of Its
varied infections so as to comprehend
perfectly what the animal wants and
wishes, and the cat in return comprehends
every word that is spoken in his pres
ence, be it English or French, both OF
which tongues are of common use in the
household.
Nimrod apparently hunts and fishes for
two reasons. In the first place, he seems
to enjoy the exitement of the chase and
the battle to the death which Invariably
follows, with the cat a victor. In the Sec
ond place, he apparently feels that for
some reason he is expected TO make fire.
quent additions to the family larder, and
so far as is known he never attempts to
eat the game which he catches but in
variabIy brings it home to his mistress
and lays it at her feet.
When the game is prepared for the
table, he enjoys his portion of il with the
rest of the family. His hunting record
for the present season has been one of
which human hunter armed with the
most complete and modern sporting arms
might be more than proud.
He has caught, killed and brought
home, one woodchuck, one American
marten, one muskrat, five minks, several

ground squirrels, 173 rabbits, fifteen par

Nimrod himself got caught and came
limping home with his fore foot fast in
the cruel jaws OF a small steel trap.
The sharp steel had cut through the fur
and flesh to the bone, but the cat went at
once to his mistress and seemed to under
stand that release and the dressing of the
wound would be painful, for all through
