A Railroad Cat.

Thousands of people have heard of the railroad dog, which travels SO extensively over the country and really seems to know as much about trains and time tables as a railroad conductor does, but there Is a cat in Colorado which, although not as famous as the dog in question, Is certainly as remarkable iB its fond ness of railroad riding.
 It was the pet of the wife of the engineer of a freight locomotive, and now it accompanies the engI- neer on every trip that he makes. When the train has to make a long wait at a station. the cat goes of on a search for mice, always returning when the whistle sounds, and al some of the functions where numerous trains meet, 1t IS quite a pet.
 When the engine IS running, the cats sits in the cab on the coal, and as its fur is jet black its beauty is not greatly impaired by its grimy surroundings
 Pussy must have travelled many thousands of miles, for 1t has been doing duty for several years, and has never been know to miss a trip.

New York, Aug. 27.-"Cervera should have stayed in Santiago har- Dor forever, rather than come out the way he did" was the solemn re- mark of Captain Charles H. Clarke, lately of the battleship Oregon. |" The fleet was fortress. With his guns he could have driven the United States army away from the shore until such time as it could mount ten-inch guns to siHk his s,.ps. He was master Ol tue situation and he should have hung on till every last member of his crew died of absolute starvation. Then he could have been a real hero and eternal figure in history. Think of the chances in his favor. Yellow fever might have come and decimated the American ranks, a gale might have broken loose on the Caribbean sea that would have scattered our ships to the four winds of Heaven, after which Ceryera could have sailed away without opposition and re turned to his native land unde feated." Captain Clark is at the Marine hospital where he proposes to rest for a few days.

In spite Of the fact that the cam

that the result to the county and to
the bar will be most beneficial. Even

defeat.
In conversation with a representa-
tive Of Mr.. Stiles from the northern
part of the county it was learned that
gentleman in question. who desired
not to be quoted, remarked that in the
case of Mr.. Stiles and the delegates
pledged to him, the situation was well
understood His delegates were pIedg-
ed first and foremost to support Stiles

were as free as water to vote as they

Charles G. Bancroft, Of Clinton said
that he was satisfied with the decision
Of the convention and felt confident
that Mr. Hoar would bring to the Of
fee the result of three years of valua-
bic experience. He had no doubt that
he would uphold the high standard
maintained by his predecessors in the
Office.

that had he begun his course earlier,
the result might have been different.

gives as reason for the small show
ing for his candidate the universal
popularity Of Mr.. Hoar and the fact
that not enough time was given to
make a thorough canvass.
Soon after the decision of the con-
vention was announced, discussion was
heard regarding who would probably be
Mr.. Hoars assistant. Among the dele
gates at the convention and the mem
bers of the bar with whom a Spy re-
porter talked, the universal impress
sion seemed to be that the present as
slstant, George S. Taft, would continue
in the office Gen. Hoar left for Bos-
ton early in the afternoon, but close
friends of his were positive that nc
promises of the Office had been made
and had no statement to make in his

that Mr.. Taft will continue in the

THE CANDIDATE.
A Short Sketch of the Distinguished Son
of Distinguished Father.

OF Distinguished Father.
lockwood Hoar was born in this city
in August 1856. He was educated in the
public schools here and attended Har-
ward College, graduating in the class
of 10. He fitted for his profession in
the law department Of Harvard Col
lege, and was admitted to the Worces-
ter county bar in 1879. He at once be-
gan practice in his fathers Office Col.
A. George Bullock and the late Judge
Thomas L. Nelson being at that time
also in the office. He was even a close
student and rapidly advanced in his
profession. When Col. w. S. B. Hop
kins was elected to the office of dis
trict attorney he chose Mr.. Hoar as
his assistant and with such marked
degree of ability did he perform the
duties of the Office that at the expira-
ton of Col. Hopkins term his name
was prominently mentioned for the
place. Thus it will be seen that Mr..
Hoar has had a thorough schooling in
the duties he is about to be called upon
to perform
He has been honored by the people in
having been for two terms selected as
their representative In the common
council His ability while in this body
was early recognized ana uDop his re-
election he was chosen president.
BE was appointed by Governor Ames
member of his staff and re-
ceived the title of colonel and soon
after the election Of Governor Wolcott
was again given staff appointment,
this time as judge advocate general,
with the rank Of brigadier general. This
position which he now holds has not
been without its active duties. Soon
after the outbreak of the strife with
Spain, when the first call for troops
was made, an advisory board was
formed by the governor which had in
charge measures for providing state
troops for the United States service and
their equipment.
Mr.. Hoar married In 1898 the daugh-
ter Of William Z. Rice, president Of the
Washburn & Moen Manufacturing
Company, and two children have been
born to them.
He Is a member Of the Worcester and
Quinsigamond Boat clubs the Worces-
ter Fire Society, the American Anti
quarian Society and of the Union Club
of Boston. He is a director of the
Washburn & Moen Manufacturing
Company, and of the Central National
Bank of this city. For many years he
has been q trustee of the Worcester
lunatic hospital
He resides on Hammond street, next
the historic old DR.. Sargent mansion,
which formerly stood on Main street
opposite Park.
