Quaint Old Inn to Be Found in the
Heart of London.
Along Fleet street ninetcenth-century
humanity rushes in throngs, feyerishly
intent on the main chance. But now and
again units from the mass fall out and
disappear into little doorway, so unob-
trusive in its character as to be easily
passed by strangers in search of it. A
small passagew bit of court, and one
enters the OLD Cheshire Cheese, treading
in the footsteps of generations OF wits
and philosophers. A wit the visitor may
not be, but he is certain to be the other in
one way or another, and his purpose i'll
coming here can have little in common
with the hurry burly he has but just left
out there on Fleet street.
The tide of affairs has left him stranded
on an oasis of peculiar charm-a low
ceilinged room, brown es an old meer-
schaum, heavily raftered and carrying to
the sensitive nostrils the scent CT ages,
the indescribab BILE aroma inse parable fro m
these haunts of geniality; wide windows,
white curtained on two sides, and smiling
upon the new conner; the merry glow of
he fire in the old CRATE, flirting tiny
flames upward that caress the steaming,
singing kettle hanging just above. The
old copper scuttle glints with the fitful
CLEANS upon it's FURNISHED, pudgy sides;
the floor spread abundantlv with sawIust
softens the sound of footballs. The white
la Bile cloths make the note OF tidiness, re-
lieving the prevailing low tone of the
room. Over against one wall hang two
cooked hats and a cane, Johnson's. The
silk hats and trousers OF modern London

coy quaintness of their environment, but

Wildcat Loose in an Expre.s-Car

There was plenty of excitement in the
train shed of the Union Central Depot this
evening. Some time before the arrival of
the Lexington express on the Kentucky
Central, at $40, a telegram was received
at the office of the Adams Express Com
pany saying that a wildcat was loose In
the express-car of that train, and asking
that arrangements pc made for its capture
when the train arrived. In the meantime
Express Messenger w. f. Garrett was
having very interesting time on his run.
Among his receipts at Berea, KY, was
cage consisting chiefly OF wire netting and
containing two large wildcats consigned
to party in Lexington. To the horror of
the messenger, one of the animals got out
OF the cage soon after leaving Berea. The
wildcat took up position on top of lot of
kegs When the train arrived here means
OF capturing the animal were discussed.
Three unsuccessful attempts were made
to throw blanket over the cat, but each
time it slid out of the folds. and the train
men beat a retreat. The fireman then
brought torch and struck the animal in
the face with it, binding and daziny the

Lives.
A Woman Jumps From an
\ Upper Story and Is Fa-
tally Injured.
Another, With Her Child, Is Pulled
From a Ladder and Both
Meet Death.

NEW YORK, n. Y. May 23.-In fire
in four-story lodging- house at 149 West
Twenty third street at O'Clock this morn
ing Mrs. Catherine Mossway and her four
year old daughter were killed and Mrs.
Carrie Bowles of Boston was fatally in
jured. There were many thrilling es-
capes. 1t is believed that one OF the
dodgers, coming home late, after lightin g
the gas threw lighted match into bar
rel under the stairs. One of the dodgers,
awakening early, found the hall mass of
flames. The inmates ran to the halls,
only to be forced back into their rooms by
flames and smoke.
Mrs. Minnie Curtis, the landlady,
jumped from bed and opened her door,
when great puff of flame and smoke en-
tered the room, nearly knocking her
down. She slammed the door shut, and
rousing her brother went to the front win
dow. Just below the window is a led &c
running to the next house, and attached
to the ledge was long sign. the whole
making sufficient pathway for person to
crawl along to a window of the next
house. Clad only in her nightgown, Mrs.
Curtis crawled out on the ledge and slowly
made her way toward the window of the
adjoining house.
She had got only half way when there
was scream and crash, followed by the
noise of heavy body striking the pave
ment, and the sign toppled down, almost
carrying her with it. Mrs. Bowles had
jun ped from the floor above to the ground,
where she was picked up and taken TO the
hospital, unconscious and badly INJURED.
Mrs. Mossway, who was the first perso n
on the fourth floor to be aroused, instead
OF saving herself and child, went around
awakening the other sleepers. There was
only one way of safety and that was
through the smoke and flames in the hall
up the scuttle ladder to the roof. There
was wild rush for this ladder. Miss Nc
Donald got half way up and was being
followed by Mrs. Mossway and her child,
when one OF the dodgers, whose name the
Others refused TO give, pulled them off the
ladder and rushed up himself. Miss Nc
Donald elm bed up after him.
Mrs Mossway became bewildered and
took her chila back to her room. She
went to a little rear window and other
dodgers saw her break the glass of the
window with her bare hands. Outside of
the window were stout iron bars four
inches apart. Mrs. Mossway tried to
force her baby through the bars, but
failed. Then she beat the bars with her
fists. Two men watched her helpless to
give aid and finally, overcome by the
smoke, she fell back. When tae ire was
over she was found on the floor. On the
bed lay her daughter dead. Mrs. Moss
way was taken to hospital, where she
died as O'clock.

HIS OWN DOCTOR

You will meet a man every
now and again who is his
own doctor. He will buy
shoes from shoemakers, meat
from butchers and soap from
chambers, but he must be
his own doctor. He thinkers
with himself, uses every
kind of tea or herb he can
find. This being your own
doctor is allvery good for the
motherly woman of big
family, whose experience,
actual contacts great
but the ordinary man can no
more be his own doctor than
can a goat read Latin, or a
mule study Greek. A man
who finds he is suffering
from a nervous disorder or
who discovers that he is suf-
fering from
