persons who Swill not beg. Its forma-
tion and the energy which it is display
ing have, however, had the effect OF
calling considerable attention to the
other category OF paupers who are not
above asking for private assistance as
we'll. There is queer talk today of va
rious address books drawn up for the
use Of the professional mendicant, which
can be consulted on payment Of GER
tain sum. Explanatory notes OF very
practical character figure in these
works. Thus. of one wealthy citizen 1t

The admirable sporting qualities even of
the London cat, should make him most
useful and amusing aid in sport, IL he
could be induced to cooperate with his
owner. There is only one piece Of evil
dence that in ancient times, the cat was
so trained-an Egyptian painting showing
cat bringing wild fowl to its master
from a papyrus bed-and very few in
stances are on record even of its being
trained to retrieve in our day.
A visitor to one of the monasteries on
Mount Carmel states that when several of
the monks went out, gun on shoulder to
shoot game for the pot, he saw their cats
marching out after them, to aid as re-
trievers, but he did not witness the sport.
There is no doubt that cats can be trained
to follow, like dogs. A worAingman in the
North Midlands recently owned small
cat, which followed him all day, and when
tired was carried in a large pocket in its
masters coat. So also a NAVY some years
ago owned a cat which had followed or ac-
companied him to work in most parts of
north and western England sometimes
following him on foot and sometimes car

THE BEGGARs OF PARIS.
From the London Telegraph.l

Everybody is or ought to be aware
that begging has been from time imme-
mortal a regular business with many.
1t has, however, been reserved to the
paupers of one of the Partisan wards to
elevate it to the rank of a veritable pro-
fession with a syndicate, no less, at its
head. These worthless have just been
holding a meeting to protest against
the action of the local mayor in return
ing the sum Of fifty thousand francs
saved during period Of several years,
TO the poor law board, when, as they
affirm, so many urgent, not to say des-
perate. cases need relief, and what Is
more. they clamor for a serious and
complete investigation into the manner
IN which money has been dealt out DUR
ing the last decade. AS will have been
noticed, these people are very mucn IN
earnest, and are determined not to be
done out Of what they claim as their
rights. II is true that this move mas

pauperism alone, and that the "Syndl-

Recently in large London engineering
works there was some regret that the
best foundry cat was dead. The sand
used for making casts in the foundry is
mixed with flour. Mice come to eat the
flour and spoil the ''mouads" 1t IS not de-
sirable that rats and mice should be about
in this loft, so cats are kept there The
cats have to be taught not to walk about
on the moulds or scratch them up, and
this best foundry cat' was absolutely
perfect in this respect In these works
most departments have a special cat
There is even one in the galvanizing shop,
which knows quite. well that the hot metal
spurts when plates are dipped in, and has
learned to get under cover at that juno
ture. 1t need scarcely be said that the
London cat is a worse enemy to Gagged
birds even than the country pussy as in
the daytime it lives more indoors. Wheth-
er it ever catches gold fish out Of bowl
we do not know; but there are no COM
plants of its robbing fshmongers' shops
TO crafty its taste in that line. On the
whole, we imagine that the cat is happy
in London, far happier, for instance. than
the dog. Even if lost he has far more
savoir faire than the latter. The stray
dog attaches himself to some one in the
street, who has at once the uncomforta-
bic feeling that the dog is trying to make

SUGAR AS A MUSCLE MAKER.
(From the Sugar Beet }


The German sugar manufacturers at
one Of their recent meetings have gone
very thoroughly into the important role
played by sugar on our physical or
ganisms. We have on several previous
occasions called attention to the ad-
vantages Of sugar for muscular devel-
opment, and cited practical experiments
relating to the same. Some professors
now go further and declare that sugar
is the only source of strength of man;
other substances such as fats, al
bumens, ETC., are transformed into
sugar before their assimilation Is pos
sible. Efforts are being made to have
the war minister look into the subject
and give special sugar allowances to the
soldiers. That there shall be no ex-
pense for the government in giving the
subject trial. it is proposed that the
German sugar manufacturers furnish
gratuitously sufficient sugar for the

When a wedding comes off, the beg

People who arrived from Maui ports
on the Mauna Loa yesterday afternoon
report very dry weather there. Mat
tiers have come to such pass that
much of the vegetation is burning.
Judge Kalua of the Second Circuit,
has returned to his home in Maui after
attending Court at Kailua in the place
of Judge Hitchcock, unable on account
of illness to attend to his duties.
Judge Kepoikai and his family will
be down from Maui on the Maui, Sun
day. This will bring him here in plen-
ty of time to take his seat in the Sen
ate on Monday morning. According
to statements made by various of the
passengers from Maui on the Mauna
Loa, the people there are very much
pleased with the election of Judge Ke-
poikai in the Senate.

To Our b|Qld Customers.

IT is our intention to pay a
little more attention to our
mail order business than
l. heretofore. We want you
to feel that you can order
from us through the mail
with as much safety as if
you were in the store.
Returned Goods. We are al
ways willing to exchange or
refund money on goods
bought of us which are not
entirely satisfactory, when
returned to us in good con-
dition within a reasonable
time after purchase, but with
the distinct understanding
that all such goods returned
will have all charges paid.
SullplGS. When sending for
samples, or for information,
write plainly your name and
postoffice. After receiving
samples. and they prove sat-
isfactory, order quickly, and
if possible make two or three
selections, marking them in
the order of your choice.
This will prevent the delay
required in sending new
samples which so often hap
pens when goods to match
the sample required are sold.
Substitution. 1t sometimes
unavoldably happens that
goods ordered are out of
stock, and in such cases we
take the liberty of SUBSTITUTE
ing what, in our judgment,
is equally desirable, both in
quality and price. If not sat-

return at our expense. In
our Grocery, Crockery and

that can be desired.

LIFE OF PRINCE BISMARCK.
London Newspapers Scathingly Re-
view the Work of Herr
MOritz Busch.

The leading newspapers In London
scathingly review Herr Moritz Busch S
Life of Prince Bismarck" which was
recently published. The general opin-
ion is that both the author and his idol
suffered greatly by the revelations
made. The British naturally chiefly re-
sent the late Prince Bismarck's express
sions of hostility to Great Britain and
to the queen and her daughter, the
former Empress Frederick of Germany,
with which the book teens.
The Daily Telegraph says that ii the
work reveals the real Bismarck, he low

GREASE AND TROUSERS.
Peculiar Cause of a Fight on n Troll
ley Car I'm the CityOf
Chicago.

Robert Collins, of Chicago, had new
pair of light trousers Sunday. They
had been delivered by his tailor late
Saturday night. The following day he
donned them and then started out "a
trolleying. The car on which he
climbed was crowded, and Collins was
compelled TO take a seat beside a man
who was busily engaged in devouring
a large ham sandwich.
Collins sat down and the man with
the lunch at once noticed the new
trousers. He apparently admired
their pattern, for he leaned over and
fixed his eyes upon them. incidentally
crumbs of bread and morsels of ham
dropped upon the admired garments.
Their owner saw the fate of his belong
ings and removed aside. The man with
the refreshments continued to drop
crumbs upon the natty trousers.
Collins got up, and in loud stentorian
tones announced that his pants were
no picnic ground for any old bum. -
But the man with the hunger and the
eye for the beautiful had friend who
resented such language in a forcible
manner. His name was Murphy, and
he and Collins clinched.

WHITE MAN TURNING BLACK.
New Yorker Goes 10 the Hospital Suf-
fering with Addison's
Disease.

Cases wherein black men have be-
come white are not rare, but New
York has a case that is the other way.
Frank Roberts is in the New York hos
pital and in two days has turned from
white TO the color of Zulu.
Roberts is IS years old. He is a
painter, whose home is at III West
Fifteenth street, and he came 20 this
country from Italy several years ago.
Two days ago Roberts was attacked by
strange malady. His skin rapidly be-
came bronze color and grew darker
each hour, so that when taken 10 the
hospital he was the color of a negro.
He was in a state of extreme debility
and semi-consciousness
Dr. Peterson, of the New York hos
pistal, at once recognized a case of
"Addison's disease" as the curious
malady is called. DR.. Peterson de-
clined to give any information on the
subject, but he admitted that Roberts
is suffering from a dangerous con-
tagious disease. and that he is in an ex-
tremely critical condition.
From another source il was learned
that the late DIR. Thomas Addison, for
merly a famous physician of Guys
hospital, London, discovered the
strange disease which bears his name
in 1885. "Addison's disease" more
popularity called "bronzed skin" is ex-
tremely rare. It is characterized by
progressive debility and emaciation,
with increased fermentation of the
skin. 1t arises from a diseased state
of the supra-renal capsules. II has
been proved that only one particular
form Of degeneration leads 10 this re-

NEW TERRIBLE TURK.
Wrestler who once Overcame Ill
Fnted Yousouf Lands In

A new terrible Turk" wrestler
of giant size and fantastic attire, ar
rived in New York city "a a steerage
passenger of the White Star steamship
Teutonic. Abdul Hall is his name.
He comes from Indianapolis, Turkey
and is accompanied by his trainer
Marco Poll, and his manager, Antonio
Pierre.
Pierre was formerly manager for
Yousouf that other terrible Turk"
who was drowned in the Bourgogne
disaster. He says that his new charge
is the only man who ever defeated
Yousouf and claims that in Bayrut
three years ago HALL in wrestling
bout that lasted four hours overcome
the great Yousouf.
HALL is apparently well suppIed
with money, and came by the steerage
as he was unable to obtain saloon ac-
commodations on the Teutonic, there
being no vacant staterooms when his
party applied for passage. His weight
is given as 800 pounds and his height
as six feet six inches.

FOUND A CHEST OF GOLD
Jew Jersey Farm Hand Digs Up q
Quantity Of Spanish
DOublO0ns.

Harold James, farm iaborer at Oak
Tree, n. j., reports having found
chest of Spanish doubloons in a hole
In the woods near his home. He was
hunting squirrels, and. following one
some distance into the woods, he fred
at it, The squirrel disappeared in a
hole at the foot of an old oak tree, and
James in his search for il found the
chest.
Only q corner of IL was visible II
crumbled at the touch and disclosed a
pumber of gold coins. James got a
spade and dug around the chest. He
found ii was about six feet long and
contained besides money the skeleton
of human being, which crumbled on
being moved. He concealed his dis
covery until he examined the place
thoroughly. Then he got sack and
began carrying the money home.
He has shown some of the money &c
his friends, and rumor says that be
found anywhere from $1,000 TO SO,
600. He exchanged some in New YorL
for currency and is overjoyed with hi:
good luck. He is industrious and of g
quiet disposition, and it was som,
days before he mentioned the incident
to anyone. James has sailed for Eu
rope, but says he is coming back tC
buy farm.
