CAUSED A SENSATION.

An armful OF fresh green catnip was
plucked from the golf grounds of the
Exmoor Club, at Highland Park, CHI
cago, to try the effects of the green
stuff on the feline members of the 30.
This herb, which does not grow, so far
as is known, in the haunts of the cou:-
ins Of the Cats, created great sensa-
Jon at the Z1o. The scent of the plant
filed the whole place, and as soon as it
aad reached the parrots corner, the
two gaudily-attired macaws set up a
noise that drowned thought, and made
for the side of the cage, pokipg their
beaks and claws through. When the
catnip was brought near they became
nearly frantic. They were given some
and devoured it, stem, leaf and blossom,
with an eviGity commensurate With
the noise of their voices.
The keeper and the catnip carrier
hen made tor the cage OF Billy, the
African leopard Now Billy, so far as
is known, had never before smelled or
seen Iesf OF the plant. b.. re the
front of the cage was reached ne had
bounded from tne shell, aud stood ex-
peclant. The man with TIE catulp
purposely waited few MINUTES before
he poked any of the green leaves ana
Yeiow ishwhite flowers OF the plant
,hrough TO The big cat.
Finally, ii double handful OF catnip
was pass, d through 10 the floor OF the
Zen. Never wss the prey OF this Atr
car dweler in mis- wild State pounceu
upon more rapidly or with more ahsC-
lutte savage enjoyment. First Billy
ate moulh'ul of the ca,nip, then he
lay fiat on his back aud wrigglei his
sinuuus length through the green mass
unul his bleckspotted yellow hide was
permsated with the odor of the plant.
Then Billy sat on bunch of the ca
nip, caught leaf-laden stem up in
-ither paw and rubbed his cheeks,
chin, nose, eyes and head. He ate an
additional mouthiul or two, and then
jumped back to the shelf, where he
lay, the very picture OF safety and
contentment.

young, but fuli.grown, animal, CAP
Jured within eighteen months in the
jungles of India. When the great sur
beast inhaled the first snih OF the
eatnip he began to NEW like kitten.
Prior to this the softest note of his
voice had been one which put the roar
Of the big-maned South African lion to
3hame.
That vicious tiger and his kindly. dis
ocsitioneG old mate fairly reveled in the
liberal allowance of the plant which
Aas thrust Into their cage. They roi'

New Submarine Torpedo.

r. Lee Fitzhugh, late Of Lexington,
KY, whose home is now in Baltimore,
has been in Lexington organizing stock
company for the manufacture of a sub
marine torpedo device for which he has
applied for patent. The plans and spe-
cihcations have been submitted to experts
and the machine has been pronounced n
wonder. Prof. Paul Anderson of the me-
chanical department of Kentucky State
College has examined it in the interest Of
the people who propose to invest IN the
machine, and says it is Of perfect mechan-
ism. 1t Is thirteen-foot torpedo, which
is 10 be sunk into the water and can be
sent distance of eight miles to whatever
object desired, being controlled by electri-
cal attachments. Its inventor also claims
that ii can be used to locate and destroy
mines in harbors and to transport mes

er. A practical demonstration has been
made. with a model one-fourth the propos-
ed size. Fitzhugh spent several years in

Reign of Terror in the City Controlled
Rla-co

Reign of Terror in the City Controlled
by General B1anco.
The most authentic and reliable news
yet obtained of the true condition of af-
fairs in Havana was furnished to a rep
resentative Of the Associated Press by n
British subject, who arrived at Key West.
He says a reign of terror exists at the
Cuban capital. Captain General Blanco
has issued proclamation announcing
that anyone daring to express an unfavor-
able opinion of, or suspected of being dis
satisfied with the present policy of the
Government, will be summarily shot with
out trial or investigation. This proclama-
ton, it appears, caused dissatisfaction
among members of the Orden Publico, or
police force, who threatened to revolt.
Some trouble was expected, as the Orden
Publico is n numerous and well-armed
body of men. The result is that the Orden
Publico patrols the city and its members
are themselves policed, Spanish infantry
and artillery soldiers mounting guard over
them at every corner. Famine, it seems,
is imminent, aud stories of the arrival Of
supplies at Havana by way of Batabano
are pronounced to he untrue. The inform
ant of the Associated Press thinks Ha-
vana cannot possibly hold out six weeks
longer. The city is pronounced to be
panic-stricken, Its inhabitants expecting
every moment to be bombarded by the
American fleet, as they realize that Cap
tain General Blanco's attitude releases
the United States from the obligation of
giving the customary bombardment no

Strange WnuId-he Suicide.

The case of Fred Lumpff of Peoria, H.,
the travelling salesman who tried TO COM
NIT suicide in the woods near Woodland
Hills, is one of the strangest ever known
IN Cleveland. 1t seems that some weeks
ago Lumpff was exposed to great heat in
the sun and complained that he felt as
though his brain were going back on him.
1t is supposed that he was sunstruck at
the time. However, he grew better and
went TO New York and transacted busi-
ness there. On the train coming toward
Buffalo from New York he read in pa
per that woman had poisoned her 4
months-old child and then taken her own
life. He either misread the article or as
sumed something was missing therefrom,
because he made up his mind it was his
wife and his child. He purposely got off
the train at Cleveland and went to the
woods and shot himself four times. He
was about to reload the revolver and try
again when he was rescued from him
self. His employer, Mr.. Fitzinger of
Peoria, went there and told him his wife
was alive and well. He refused TO believe
Fitzinger. The next day his wife went,
taking the 4-months-old child. Then
Lumpf wanted TO live, but he had not one
chance in a hundred.

concerns purchased represent the entire
distilling and distributing business of this
country not controlled by the American
Spirits Manufacturing Company. That
company and the new company will act
in entire harmony. The capitalization of
tLs new company is S24,OOO,000. The
purchase by the new company of the diff
ferent plants and business will, il is claim
ed by the new organization, work great
economies and consequent savings in the
conduct and operation of the business.
The fact that Levy Mayer, who is general
counsel of the American Spirits Manufac-
turing Company, has also been elected
general counsel of the new company, in
dicates that there will be no discord or
friction between the two concerns. The
makeup of the board of directors of the
new company shows its tremendously
strong financial backing. On the board
are represented the Standard Oil inter-
ests in the person of Mr.. Paget. Mr..
Whitney's son-in-law. Another director
Is Mr.. F. o. Matthiessen, who is the vice
president of the sugar trust and also of
