THE SEAGOING
 CATS OF WAR

From the Chicago Daily N.ws.
 When Major-General Merritt sailed from San Francisco he asked the government authorities for three cats to take to Manila. Probably the trio of American felines are now teaching Yankee habits to their mis- guided fellows oi the islands, for it was Major Merritt's intention to send them ashore when he landed. The cats came from the commissary depot in San Francisco, and their progenitor may be seen there any day busied among the barrels and boxes, or dozing lazily in some snug cor ner.
 It is not generally known that the gov ernment spends several thousands of dol- lars annually for the maintenance of cats, but the accounts of the United States de- pot commissaries prove it. In every store house there are from one to five of the ami mals, and their ratons are provided IS carefully and regularly as those of any Of the gallant soldiers.
 They are not fed on scraps, as are those of the enlisted men, but they are allotted many pounds of choice beef or any other delicacy their palates may desire or course, they may have as much game as they wish, and the storehouses seldom fail to furnish an unlimited supply of rats and mice. That the cats save many times their cost of support is well known, as such sup plies as crackers, cheese, bacon, -four and meal are much sought after by the TO- dents.
 That the army cats at San Francisco are well trained may be judged from the fact that while New York quotes cents per day per cat as the price of cat meat, Colo mel Baldwin, depot commissary here, finds ' cents as low as he can get the proper beef for the felines which protect his stores.
 Some time ago new attache of the ware house procured a terrier and installed him in tie territory of the colonel, which is the father of the animals Major-General Mer- ritt took with him. The next morning the scared, while Colonel guarded five with pride that spoke in the severe arch of his back and his loud meouws. The terrier was forthwith removed.
 All men-of-war carry cats. Their useful ness is never more apparent than on ship board. The writer was crossing from Ant Werp to New York on the steamship South wark when he was awakened by the sudden stopping of the ship, an occurrence which, happening in mid-ocean, generally means something serious. The passengers rushed on deck, half-clad, and were disgusted to learn that rat, having crawled into the cylinder, had caused the halt Such an event on man-of-war in time of action might be fearfully paid for, and an active cat Is the only preventive of such poss- bility.
 The Colonel has a host of admirers and in his many years in the army he has be- come the pet of many officers and clerks and the progentor of many other cats whose rating qualities have won them dis tinction,

Chicagoans Enthusiastic

Chicago, December 15-Veterans of the confederacy living in Chicago are very en- thusiastic over the suggestion of President Mckinley made in a speech at Atlanta that the national government should assist in caring for graves of the confederate dead. A telegram heartily thanking the president for the steps he has taken in that direc tion and endorsing his sentiments was sent to Atlanta today by Post s, United Con- federate Veterans.
 Major George Forester, who was with "Morgan's Raiders" said today: "HVe con- federate veterans think the president has sounded the keynote for permanent peace between the north and the south. Nearly 6000 confederate veterans are buried in Oakwood cemetery near Chicago. The plot of ground was given by the government but has always been taken care of by the Chicago confederate veterans. The ceme- tery contains monument erected by the Chicago Confederate association, but none of the graves have headstone.,

over again this little southern general tried to begin his speech and over and over again he was compelled to wait for the cheers to stop. Then the band played "Dixie,'' and once more the crowd broke into frantic cheer General Wheeler eulogized the president and expressed his great pleasure at the reception given to MT. Mckinley by Georgia Hobson responded to loud calls with an impassioned speech, in which he drew the attention of his hearers, not only to the bravery of the American soldiers and sailors, but the chivalry and bravery of the enemy, especially of Admiral Ger vera. Generals Shafter and Lawton scrace- ly more than bowed their acknowledgements to the plaudits and the meeting closed with a short speech from Governor Johnston or Alabama, in whieh he referred to his states 8 honor in possessing two such distinguished sons as Wheeler and Hobson.
 The presidential party then drove back to their hotel. On the way the carriages in which were Generals Shafter and Lawton was run into by a street car, and the two distinguished officers were thrown into the street. Neither was hurt and both were taken into carriage secured by Private Secretary Corteieu. A public reception at the governors mansion had to be postponed on account of the lateness of the auditorium affair.

The president of the United States is forced to content himself during his term of office with beggarly suite of living rooms which do not furnish the same home com forts, to say nothing of elegance, which would be found in any first-class eight room apartment. At the public receptions it is necessary to utilize windows as well as doors to admit and dispose of the peo- pie. The white house would do we'll enough for an executive office. the reception of public officials, and similar functions but is notoriously inadequate for social affairs, while the president is forced to live actual ly within sound of the typewriters used by his staff of clerks and secretaries Yet with all this there is strong disinclination to tear down or even to alter the historic building, which has been the scene of so many events connected with the life of the nation. Congressmen generally favor the building of an executive mansion where the president could seclude himself, but where official society could be received with dignity and proper magnificence, leav- ing the white house as an office only. Sug- gestions have been made that the close of the war with Spain, and the inauguration of a period of peace and commercial expan- sion could best be marked by the building of presidents house toward which all the states might be, asked to contribute ma terial. Hitherto the movements for a new executive mansion have been chiefly fathered by real estate speculators. but just now there appears to be a sentiment in congress that the next great public building should be presidents house out on the hills toward which Washington is gradually moving, which would be in every sense a peace monument. so that the white house would stand for the old policy of the early days while the splendid new home for the president might represent adequately the policy of expansion.

THE BoTKIN TRIAL.
Postal Clerk Testifies to the Transmits
 mission of the Package.

San Francisco, December 15.-At the trial of the Botkin poisoning case today Mrs. L. Simpson, who was proprietor of the Vic toria hotel when Mrs. Botkin resided there, told of the emotions of the woman when John P. Dunning went to New York to ac- cept an engagement as Cuban war core spondent. Mrs. Botkin. the witness stated. was very nervous for some time after Dun ning's departure as she feared he might be killed. Mrs. Simpson was positive that there was nothing to criticise in Mrs. Bot kin's conduct while she was a resident of the Victoria.
 B. N. Dunnigan, mail clerk at Station D, pos lively asserted that a package similar to the one sent to Mrs. Cunning passed through his hands early in August. He was positive because the name on the pack age was similar to his own that it at tracted special attention. It was ad- dressed to Dover, Del, but he was not cer tain whether it was designated for MT. or Mrs. Dunning, but was certain regarding the name.

DOWN TO WORK.
Baseball Magnates Meet and Transact
 Much Business.

New York, December 15. The delegates to the annual meeting of the National Base ball League settled down to business in earnest this afternoon. The report of the board of discipline and the consequent dis cussion occupied the greater part of the session. Every club was called upon to ex- press it's views on the success or failue of the Brush resolution and with the excep- ton of two clubs, the names of which were not made public, who were of the belief that the old methods were fully equal to the necessities, all were of the opinion that either this law or something akin to 1t was desirable and ought to be maintained. IL was the opinion of nearly all that so far as the public was concerned, the game had been relieved entirely from the evils this measure sought to remedy and that the result had proven to be successful. The re- port was not made public, but it was said brought before the board for action. The board made some suggestions as to what in its judgment the laws had been.
 The report of the board of discipline was accepted, and special committee appointed to consider recommendations as to what ac> tion should be taken thereon at the next scheduled meeting.
 A resolution was also passed commenting the players of the National league for their cooperation in the fulfilling of the require ments of the Brush rule.
 The meeting then adjourned and the a d of arbitration held brief session. A com- mittee of the Eastern league appeared be- fore the board and requos ed that the trans fer of the Buffalo club from the Eastern league to the Western league, together with It's franchise, players and territory, be ratl- fled. This request was granted.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and In-
 digestion.

Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and In-
 digestion.
 The national disease of Americans is indi- gestion, or, in its chrome form, dyspepsa, and for the very reason that 1t is so com mon many people neglect taking proper treatment for what they consider trfiing stomach trouble, when as a matter of fact, indigestion lays the foundation for many in- curable diseases. No person with vigor- ous, healthy stomach Will fall a victim to consumption. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from poor Indigestion; thin, nervous people are really so because their stoma\ S are out of gear; weary. languid, faded ouAwomen owe their condition to imperfect indigestion.
 When nearly every person you meet Is af- fiicted with weak digestion it is not sur prising that nearly every secret patent med icine on the market claims to be a cure for dyspepsia, as well as a score of other bles, when in fact, as Dr. Werthier says, there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe and reliable, and moreover, this remedy is not patent med icine but 1t is a scientific combination of pure pepsin (free from animal matter), veg etable essences, fruit salts and bismuth It is sold by druggists under name of Stucrt's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extrava- gant claims are made for them, but for in- digestion or any stomach trouble. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary, simply eat all the wholesome food you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results, because all the stomach needs Is rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by. doing the work of digestion.
 Druggists sell these tablets at 50 cents per package. Circulars and testimonials sent free by addressing P. A. Stuart Co.. Marshall, Mich.

SEHbS BROS.' GREAT SRLE

The advertisement of competitor which appears in yesterdays Age-Herald is so plainly directed at us-vicious in spirit and misleading in fact-that we deem it neces- sary to enlighten those who contemplate purchasing a plano.
 This manager says "if we were going out of business our customers paper would be sold to the highest bidder"
 Granting that would be true in his case, but in ours 1t will be different altogether.
 MT. William A. Thomas will represent us in this city, and in every capacity pertain ing to our unfinished business. He is an expert tuner and workman and gentle man of the highest integrity.
 If we had to realize spot cash for our pianos we would sell them at auction. We believe that would be better plan. Our customers paper will be treated as private and every courtesy extended that can be expected from the most honorable dealing.
 We once heard of a man in North Caro- lima who made fortune by attending to his own business. Others may go further  with less success. If there is "piano war" going on in this city we have not felt it's jar, but we suspect the low prices we are offering high-grade pianos to get rid of them quick and go out of business is dis turbing others no little.
