ut is reported here that Zanardelli. the Min

"The article constitutes so direct an attack on

powerful an appeal to the Revolutionary senti-

Squeezed for Fourteen Hours Between the
Clothes aud the Mattress.
The Carnegie Hall cat, whose adventures
have occasionally been chronicled in these col.
umns, met with a misadventure on Saturday
which nearly cost 1t its life.
The cat was missed by its owner soon after
she got up. When she opened her folding bed
at night she found the cat packed among the
clothes. AS is its custom, tho cat had passed
the previous night on the folding bed occupied
by its owner. 1t failed to get up when she did.
and was not noticed by her when she folded tho
bed up. Fortunately for the cat, the bed has a
very deep frame, 30 that the imprisoned beast
escaped being crushed. 1t was SO tightly packed.
however, between the blankets and the mat
trcss that the p!aintive cries to which II doubt
less gave utturIncc were stified.
All day long the owner wondered where her
cat was. She knew it had not gone out Of the
door or left the main room by the chdtiere cut
in one of tho windows overlooking a balcony,
so she searched all the corners and cubby holes
frequented ordinarily by the cat. The cats dis.
appearance became more and more mysterious
as the hours passed until the bod was opened.
when the cat jumped out. with a melancholy
meow and ran to the room where its food and
drink were Hcpt. 1t was 8 A. NJ. when it was
shut up in the folding bed: 1t was 10 p. NJ. be-
fore il was released. so that its Imprisonment
Ind lasted fourteen hours. 1t seemed none the
worse. although the torn condition of the sheets
testified to its enthusiastic efforts to get out.
