The Mill and Shop News says
the man who is too poor to make
his business known is too poor to
do business successfully, and the
longer he remains in business the
poorer he will become. The with
drawal of an advertisement is an
evidence of weakness and serves
the purpose of publishing it to the
world of trade, which is not slow
to notice it.

STARTLED THE CATS.

Agent Eben N. Perry of the Society FOR
the Protection of Animals, received a
complaint on Saturday that a gentleman
who has shop on Congress street was
torturing cats. Mr.. Perry investigated
the cats and found that the gentleman S
shop was next to an iron fence where the
felines in the neighborhood were won't to
assemble forltheir nocturnal chorus. The
man had strung wire along this fence
and covered it with tin. The wire was
connected with an electric battery of
great power and when the cats were as
sembled on the fence the man turned on
the current and the passersby were treated
to an exhibition of startling character.
The cats furnished amusement for this
man and his friends for some time until
some soft hearted person happened to
witness the performance and complained
to Agent Perry. Now the wire has been
removed from the fence and the cats sing
at night upon it as much as they please.
Mr. Perry says it was the most peculiar
case he has ever had occasion to investi-
gate.

Two Animals Bic Under Suspicious Cir

q There now seems to be general opin
ion among those who know anything
about the matter. that the two horses o.

lives at Hampshire street, were killed
by some person who thus sought to in
jure the owner.
The horsesL were apparently we'll Sun.
dav morning at s O'Clock, when Mr..
Feeney's father went to feed them, but,
when Mr.. Feeney himself went into the
stable. about 10 o'clock he found both
horses reekiug with sweat and suffering
greatly. He Immediately called DR..
Gage, the veterinary surgeon at.the oity
stables for number of years, who, upon
examination, found hole in each Of the
horses bowels, evidently made by a
sharp stick or some other pointed instru-
ment. He did everything possible to
relieve the poor beasts's sufferings, but
one of them died at onoe, and the other
had to be shot.
DR.. Gage said yesterday that he regard
ed it as almost certain that somebody had
killed the horses, but he wasn't at liber

norton examination was performed yes

not be learned last night. Agent Eben

deep as the larynx, just above the wind

ATTEMPT AT RESCUE DIDN'T

A man known as Capt. Green, who
lives on Oxford street, near the corner
of Franklin, got himself into trouble
last night. He has been constant com
plainant at the police station in regard to
the behavior of his wife and last night
was in the station presumably to make
another complaint when some of the
neighbors who had stood the noise in
Capt. Green's house as long as they
could, complained to the police and an
officer was sent to arrest the woman.
When she was brought into the station
she was fighting drunk and made much
resistance as possible. The officers were
taking her out into the cell room when
suddenly Capt. Green appeared on the
scene. He dashed into the guard room
and attempted to rescue the woman he
had come to complain of and grabbed an
officer by the coat collar. The attempted
rescue took the officers by surprise, but
they made short work of Capt. Green and
he passed the night in the station along

PORTLAND NAVAL RESERVES.
In Few Days More 1t 1t Expected They
VIII Mann the Montauk.

The members of the Portland naval
divisions will do well to begin making
their preparations for active service. 1t is
ments may commence for service on the
Montauk and by the first of next week it
is expected that the Portland naval re-
serves will be on board the historic old
craft and drilling for all they are worth
to get into shape for any work that may
be required of them.
The New Jersey boys who brought the
Montauk to Portland are many of them
very anxious to return home, and I'M
doubtedly some of them may be headed
that way by the last of this week. About
twenty-five of the New Jersey men will
remain on the Montauk, having elected
to stay on this ship and see service. This
is to be done that some of the men on the
ship may be experienced in ship life in
order to help the Portland men settle
down into the regular routine. Some of
the New Jersey Naval Militia officers will
also apply for leaves of absence from their
state and be mustered into the govern
ment service here with acting commits
sions This will be done to giFeethe ship
some experienced officers ono the start.
Some of the Portland naval reserve officers
will be commissioned for dutyIgCon the
Montauk and about sixty-fivse Portland
men will be enlisted to make up the ships
complement.
The Naval Reserve men, of Portland
should carefully watch the papers from
this time out, that they may be ready to
muster on call and pass their examina-
tions. At least five of the ships officers
will be Portland men and when the Port
land naval reserve crew is on board the
Montauk there will not be better naval
reserve crew in the service It will be a
relief to all to have this matter definitely
settled, and in a few more days the Port
land men will have a chance TO get into
service. 1t is expected that the call for
enlistment will be issued in few days
unless the orders are changed. The men
who will man the Montauk will be taken
equally from the two divisions and the
men best qualified will be selected. The
Ioorui1S Will Uo oquippou WIFI UHelr OuG-
fits as soon after their enlistment as pos
sible.
By orders Of Lieutenants Clifford and
Bigelow, the Portland Naval Reserve
divisions will assemble for enlistment on
the Montauk in the drill shed of the
armory at $50 90 lock on Wednesday
morning. All men who are anxious for
this detail and especially the seamen who
have enrolled themselves should be present
at this hour to be selected for the duty.
Members of the naval reserves will be
first chosen, and if there are not enough
of these to I'LL up the ships complement
any able bodied men between the ages OF
twenty -one and forty will be accepted,
preference being given to old men-of-
war s-men and sealnen.
1t is earnestly desired that all the naval
reserves should be present at this time.
The regular enlistment will probably be
made on Thursday or Friday.
