At meeting Of the veterans OF the 9Th New

by committee consisting OF Comrades Joseph f..

Whereas. We. OK members OF the 9TH Regiment

in special annual reunion assembled, do hereby
adopt the following resolutions.
Resolved. That We. veterans Of the war Of
1861 90, have taken deep interest In the with
Spain. which We feel was forced upon VS. in de
fence OF our National honor and In the cause Of
humanity and civilization. We desire TO express
our appreciation OF the wisdom. prudence and un-
fnching loyalty to our country and its flag and
humble trust in God which William Mckinley.
President Of the United States. has shown I'm his
administration OF the affairs Of this great Nation
and In bringing 10 successful termination this
Manila. Santiago and Porto Rico recognize
loyalty. valOr and courage which entitle our sol

Many persons start out on long rides in the

crowds and other unpleasant features or
bicycle riding, and IL is, to this class we
cater. Then, again, our places are for the
most part open and we had to employ
Waterman to guard the tables, chairs and
other articles which could not be stored
away each night, SO We concluded that 1t
would be simpler to keep couple of walt
ers and plenty of edibles on hand and
serve our customers all night. Another
thing is that many century runs are under
taken at night, when there can be no I'M
pleasant Interruptions, and we are always
called upon to serve the participants.
There is rothing more grateful in the
early morning to bicycle rider than a cup
of hot coffee and we make a speciality OF
that keeping 1t hot and strong all night
1t also serves to tone down the reveler
who has been out on his wheel all night
| celebrating and needs a tonic to brace up
on before going home. Yes must keep
open. and we shall continue to do so until
the snow falls and the bicycle is laid away
to rest and rust. 1t is an innovation this
year. but it will be lasting one. We have
a bicycle repair shop attached to this
place. which is also kept open all night,
and we have many calls for the services of
our mechanic to repair wheels. 1t saves
many a long walk trundling a wheel to
have a bike shop on the road ready to re-
pair wheels or stop up punctures. Chi

USES OF WOOD PULP

Ii almost looks as if the old saying, "Co.
ton is king" might be revised to apply to
wood pulp. Wood pulp has been used as a
subs ti.ute for iron, steel, WOOD, stone, glass,
ivory AID innumerabe kinds of snimal and
vegetable fiber. AS material for car
wheels the manufacturers have found 1t
to any kind of metal, being ABOUT
three times as durable as steel and much
more elastic. il has been found ava!ia BILE
as u material for paving bricks, drain til
ing and condui.s for electric cables. For
ivory, which Is becoming scarcer every
day. cellulose is the best substitute which
has yet been found.
When properly treated 1t is practically
proof against heat and moisture; hence il
has been found superior to timber as a
material for telegraph poles and screws.
Cannon, too, AMI bicycles are made out of
wood pulp In Germany and Chicago respec-
lively, while a Frenchman has succeeded
In producing a thread from the same sub
stance, which he declares can be worked
up into all kinds Of fabrics.
A Vienna inventor declares that his wood
pulp leather Is superior to animal ea,her
in lineness and durability. Among the
other articles made of wood pulp are boats.
canoes cuspidors, pals. flower pots, tables.
chairs, bureaus, barrels, wagons, horse
shoes and imitation porcelain ware. The
manufacture of silk from wood pulp Is now
an important industry In England and
France. And in wood pulp the resources of
Maine seem to lie almost 1imitless.-Lewis-

to Russia, while she owns over twice as
much of the earth as does the United
States, she has a less desirable world
property. Latitude is against much of it..

any available seaboard.

place in the matter Of the ownership of the

HABITS OF THE CAT
Its Actions Show It Is Solitary AMI
NAL by Nature

All the cats habits show it to be by ma
ture a solitary animal. Even in early life
when family ties bring out the instinct of
association, this is apparent. If you COM
pare the play of puppies with that of kit
tens you will find that In one case compan-
ionship of some kind Is an essential, for If
puppy has no playmate of is own species
he will try to make use OF the nearest BIZ
ped; whereas a cork or a bit of string Is
all that is necessary to satisfy the require
ments of the kitten. The way In which the
cat takes it's food is sure sign that In it's
natural state 1t is not in the habit of as
sociating with greedy companions.
When given something TO eat t. first
carefully smells the morscl. then takes 1t
in gingerly way and sits down to finish
II at leisure. There Is none of that inclin-
alton to snatch hastily at any food held
before It which we observe even in well
trained dogs. nor does a cat seem in any
hurry TO stow its goods in one place where
thieving rivals cannot interfere with them
indeed, no greater contrast In natural Ia
bic manners can be observed anywhere
than when we turn from the kennel or the
pigsty and watch The dainty way In which
n cat takes It's meals. That ca allows

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-(Special Core
spondence to The Herald) A white-winged
beauty is coming over once more to try to
wrest from the Americans the trophy that
is the prize of the fastest yacht that sails
the sea. The cup has many years been un
successfully sought by the crack yachts of
England. This time an Irish boat is COM

trophy that is regarded as the most COW

the less for the nationality of their OPP

moments notice. The Shamrock will have
an Irish owner, an Irish crew and will &C.
cupy the same position toward the Green
Isle as did the Thistle to Scotland and
Valkyrie to England.
1t is no wonder that the British long to
possess the cup once more, for they are a
pcrtinacious race. and the fact that they
have been trying to get 1t back ever since
1851, when 1t was captured by the old Amer
lea in a series Of races of the Isle Of
Wight, instead of discouraging them. makes
them only more determined to continue
their efforts. Since the victory of 1851 the
Magic, Columbia. Sappho, Madeline. Mis-
chief, Puritan, Mayflower Volunteer. Wig
liant and the great Defender have beaten
the British boats in a series of remarkable
races The retention of the cup first be-

Mr.. Ashbury Immediately upon his return
to England. ordered Ratsey to build a new
schooner yacht. which he named the
I.ivonia. She went back without the cup,
having been defeated by the Columbia and
the Sappho. There were five races.

Since that time it has been found to be

capture the cup, but the Vigilant disposed

OF roadhouses where edibles and drinka-

establishments are kept open that the early

fact, the man who investigated while maxi
