A PRIZE CAT.
A Curious and Valuable Pet.


 Mrs. F. A. Brown, of New York, is | spending the summer at the home of Mrs. Charles S. Jones on Summer street. She has with her a very hand some cat. He is half Angora cat and half coon--a tabby--that is, dark gray and black in color, with a fine long, full and bushy tail, which, when spread out, measures sixteen inches across the widest part. Standing on his hind legs by a sugar barrel, the cats head reach
 es above the edge of the top hoop. His
 name is "Cosey," and he certainly
 looks cosey when curled up on his cush- ion for the night in his mistress room
 At the National Cat show in 1895 and 1896 Cosey was voted the handsomest cat out of five hundred others The | first year he won two solid silver med- als. with hand engraved raised cats | heads in the middle of each and the | date 1895, eighteen dollars and silver collar, on which is engraved National | Cat Show, 1895-Won by Cosey." The | second year he received the same hon. l orS.
 | He is very intelligent, and knows as | much as dog is splendid mouser, and | when hungry looks up into his mistress | face with his beautiful topaz yellow eyes and utters faint meow in a | softer voice than ordinary cats speak, and is very much pleased when he is given corn or peas for dinner. He has
 cute kittenish face, and is very play | full and full of life for a cat of five years of age and which weighs sixteen pounds.
 | Cosey is well-known cat having been written up" many times in the New York papers, and his picture has | appeared in Munsey's and Leslie's. l Mrs Brown has been told by the l judges at the cat show that Cosey's un-
 usually short ears, long whiskers, dark and glossy coat, showing not 8 white hair, add to his value.
 In disposition Cosey is kind and gen. | tie to his mistress and her friends, but the strange cats stalking around the yard beneath his window cause his hair | to rise and at times he grows most | fiercely.
 | The markings on each side of his | body are perfectly regular, and alto- gether he is a very beautiful specimen of the cat family.-7Stamford Advocate

SATISFACTORY TO AMERICA.
England Does usa Good Turn In Directing
Her Colonies to Declare Coal asst
C0ntraband Vt War.

WASHINGTON, April 49, In directing
her colonies to regard coal as contra.
band OF war In the event of hostilities
between the United States and Spain,
Great Britain has taken action, admin.
istration officials say, in line with the
wishes OF the president and naval au.
thorities Pressure will be exerted
upon France, Hayti and San Domingo
to accomplish the same result and
some attention is being given by the
state department to South American
countries with view TO securing from
them declaration OF the contra.
band character OF coal, as well Us an.
nounced determination on their part
not to sell either to Spanish or Ameri-
can men-of-war supply Of fuel great
or than that necessary to enable the
belligerent vessel to steam to the next
home port. With coal declared con-
traband Of war administration officials
and naval experts say it will be i'm.
possible for Spanish vessels to operate
in the West Indies or in the Pacific,
and, as a result, the chances Of success
for American arms will be immeasur-
ably enhanced.

THE CABINET MEETING.
President and His Advisers Awaiting Con.
gressional Action-vet0 Of Bill
Not Probable.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The cabinet
meeting yesterday was devoted to q
general discussion of the Cuban situa-
ton, but without anything Of impor-
lance resulting therefrom. The govern
uent has received no intimation Of the
Preparations Of any note on the part Of
the powers and members of the cabinet
do not think the effect so obviously
made by Spain to concentrate
the powers in her favor will
result in their agreeing on any
particular line Of action. The present
position Of the administration is that
Of awaiting congressional action with
out attempting to influence 1t or post
pone Its decision. The president, it
can be stated is not at all likely to
veto any resolution that congress may
adopt on the Cuban question. The ad-
ministration does not believe congress
will pass resolution for the recogni-
ton Of independence of the insur-
gents, but If it should a veto of it
would be very improbable.
