Bayonne was on her voyage to Sayonia,
Italy. twenty other steamers came in and
each was carefully inspected In turn by
the abandoned tabby. Strange to say,
a survey from distance seemed TO sat
isfy the cat. Ii was obvious that its
former home was not recognized.
At last the Bayonne returned. and
then was manifest an unparalleled exhi-
bltion Of animal instinct When the
oil ship WAS still far down the stream
pussy took her position on the end OF
the wharf. showing by thousand antics
that the on-coming craft was the one so
anxiously awaited for so many weeks.
Unnecessary to say perhaps. that the
recognition was mutual, from Capt. Won
Hugo on the bridge to the big black dog
barking on the poop deck. and there was
no need to decry the absence OF an enthu-
siastic welcome. To cap the climax when
the Bayonne was yet twelve feet from
the pier, the eats impatlence reached the
limit With one flying leap It cleared the
intervening space. and to the surprise of
the cheering crew. ran directly to the
place where her kittens were formerly
domiciled. The latter were still ON board.
and in a few moments the happy family
were again united.
Capt Won Hugo will now have a pic
ture painted of his celebrated pet. which
will ornament his private cabin. and on
his return home will have the strangest
of tales to relate 10 his family and
friends concerning the phenomenal In
stinct OF pussy. which has already be-
come well known at the home port.

Orders were given that none but at

Southern District of New York by Emma

missed. The proceedings involved the

A sAaAc1ous CAT.
Found It's Own Vessel Among Hun

From the Philadelphia Tim-s.)
An instance of remarkable sagacity cis-
n;ayad nv a cat in connection with the oil
tank steamer Bayonne, now loading at
| Point Breeze. is just now the prefaiiihs
topic of conversation among oHcials "i
the custom house and the employees OF
the Atlantic Refining Company. IL is
a true story and Is youehed ior oy 'he
crew of the Bayonne, the boarding onlcers
and all others having to do with the
vessel.
When the Bayonne came to Philadei-
min about seven weeks ago she had a
pet. an ordinary black and white pussy
whose birthplace was far of beyond the
Italian Alps The cat was present to
Capt. Won Hugo and had accompanied
him on several voyages. 1t is, moreover,
no ordinary tabby, as 1t is the proud pos
SCISSOR of q pedigree and appearance equal
ly remarkable. Italy Is not blessed with
many cats; in fact, they are almos, a
rarity. Therefore, to the great cat show
held last year at Florence there were
great crowds attracted. The mascot OF
the Bayonne was present and carried on
a big gold medal which Capt. Won Hugo
personally exhibits to visitors-a tribute
to the finest specimsb Of feline aris-
tocracy represented at the exhibition.
While the big oil tanker was loading
her cargo at Polnt Breeze on tHe Nisit

and the CONSERVATION of the steward.

animal disappeared the day after pre-
senttng to the ship four beautiful kittens.
Well-organized parties searched the tank
er from stem to stern and thoroughly ex-
! plored the streets and wharves around
the oil works, but all to no avail. Pussy
was gone, and with much regret Capt.
Won Hugo was obliged to make sail with
out his old companion.
Two days after the Bayonne left the
prodigal returned. Running down on the
wharf it cast anxious, glances at the

the pier formerly held by the Bayonne.
Visiting in succession every ship in the
vicinity, the instinct -of-th cat forbade
it boarding any of them and finally giving

reconciled to the fact that 1t must await

then to the side, loosening its hind feet

Last night in Stubener's road house Joe
Bateman celebrated his return to the To-

seven rounds. Dever's defeat was a sur

the third round il was offered at TO o.

rounds the fight was anybody's.
In the first round Bateman got a little
the best of 1t. Dever began to swing hard
with some success, but Bateman soon
measured him accurately and met his
leads.
Bateman's rushes repeatedly forced
Devcr to the ropes and IL was one of
these rushes that won the fight.
In the sixth round both men fouled.
In the last round Bateman was quite
severely punished before he made his final
rush, which forced Dever to the ropes.
Two swings. right and left, on the jaw
and terrific upper cut ended the fight.
In Bateman's corner were Tommy More.

A HIDDEN LEGACY.
In the Bottom of Box of Flowers
on a Grave.

(From the Philadelphia Item)
After the lapse of a quarter of a CEN
tury hidden legacy has been found in
Montrose Cemetery. In 1872 there lived
near Montrose an old German shoemaker
named Schmidt He was not rich. but al
ways had plenty of work. and, being of
a saving disposition. it was known that
he had accumulated little sum. The
only relative was brother who lived in
the village. and when the old shoemaker
was taken i'll he called the brother to the
bedside and gave into his keeping an old
wooden box, similar to those used for
house plants. The box was filed with
pegs, avis and other appliances of the
shoemaker's trade, but nothing else could
be found. A diligent search was made
of the premises and surrounding grounds
for the money 1t was known the dead
man possessed, but the effort was unre-
warded and at last the matter was for
gotten.
The brother at first thought he would
throw the box into rubbish heap, but
reconsidered the decision. as he hated to
part of his brothers property. and
placed it in his trunk, where it remained
for years. He married, and one day the
box was taken from the trunk and given
to his little girl to play with. She scat
tered the shoemaker's implements far and
wide leaving the box kicking about the
house. The father was taken i'll and
died, and the box was used to grow
house plants in during the winter Final
ly the widow decided to place it on her
husbands grave. and took it to the Mon
trose Cemetery. Here 1t remained through
several seasons, acting as a receptacle
for growing plants.
Last week she tried to move the box.
but the wood, rotten with years Of ex-
posure. fell apart. the bottom dropping
out. and gold and silver coin rolling in
all directions. Overcome with surprise.
the woman stood astounded, and then in
vestigated. She found the box had a
false bottom. and between the board the
shoemaker had slowed his small legacy.
On counting the money $135.50 In gold.
silver and bills was found. 1t is supposed
that the man died before he could ex-
plain the reason for his gift of the box.
