TRAITS OF THE CAT.
All Tend to Show 1t Is Naturally
Solitary Animal.

All the cats habits show 1t to De Dy
nature a solitary animal. says Louis
Robinson In "Wild Traits in Tame AM
mails" Even IN early life, when ram
lily ties bring out the instinct OF assn
citation. this is apparent. II you com.
pare the play of puppies with that ol
kittens you will find in one case that
companionship of some kind Is an es-
sential, for if a puppy has no playmate
OF his own species he will always Try
to make one of the nearest Dlped'
whereas a cork or bit of string Is all
that Is necessary to satisfy the require
ments of the kitten. The way in whlch
the cat takes its food is sure sign
that in its natural state 1t is not in Inc
habit of associatlng with greedy CON-
panions.
When given something to eat 1t care
fully smells the morsel, then takes IL
In deliberate and gingerly way, ana
sits down to finish it at leisure. There
Is none of that inclination to snatch
hastily at any food held before 1t when
we observed even in well trained dogs,
nor does cat seem in any hurry to
stow its goods in the one place where
thieving rivals cannot interfere with
them. Indeed, no greater contrast In
natural table manners can be observed
anywhere than when we turn from the
kennel or the pigsty and watch the
dainty way In which cat takes Its
meals. That a cat allows people to ap-
proach it while 1t is feeding without
showing jealousy proves that. 1t does
not attribute to human beings like
tastes with It's own.

And, his friend, Michael Durgen-at the
time on the ground
Was brought as witness, to Establish the

For the cask had been hidden away-in

Said the judge to Mike Durgen, "On oath,
you must tell
The truth to this court, and the whole
truth, as well.
Now, Mike, what was inside the cask that
you saw!
Remember, you're under the eyes Of the

Said Mike to his honor, "Now, thin, since
we ask,
It'll please me to tell all OF know Of the

One end was marked whisky as plain as

Brothers That He Is Inclined
I'd. IN HNtcSy


New York. Feb. 16.-Rev. DR.. Walter T..
Buchanan, moderator of the New York
P~resbytery. issued a statement today re-
gardinE the rumored likelihood of the
hercsy trial of Rev. DIR. Arthur Cushman
McGiffert, Washburn professor of church
history in the union theological seminary.
He said:
IT can only say that If DR.. McGlffert's
book contains the passage to which my
attention has been directed, or similar pas
sages, it seems to me clear beyond all dis
pute that he is out of touch with Presby-
terianism. as it exists despite all latter
day efforts to alter 1t. He is not in har-
mony with the standards of our church
and I cannot see what other course he can
properly take except to separate himself
from us. In the case of DR.. McGiffert / do
not see how this can be any question be-
tween conservatives and liberals; how
they can do otherwise than unite in n
condemnation of a teaching which would
destroy one of the most cherished be-
liefs of Christianity. OF course do not
wish to be understood as condemning DIR.

tianity in the Apostolic Age" denies the

Washington, Feb. 16.-The secretary
of the treasury has received the fol-
lowing telegram dated Seattle yester-
day from Captain futile commanding
the Bear, which left Seattle in Noyem-
Der with an expedition for the relief
Of the ice bound whalers in the Arctic:
1.-THE Bear arrived at Cnalaska at
aeon, December 9, coaled and watered
ship and sailed for the north at 1875 Il.
M, the 18th. Arrived off southeast
Cape Lawrence island at 2 p. m, 18th,
where ice was met. At GAO n. m.,, De-
rember IA, ice was breaking rapidly.
Cape Nome was ninety-six miles dis
tant. Concluded the vessel would be
frozen in long before the cape could be
reached, therefore turned md steamed
southwark for Cape Vancouver, which
was reached ut $3.50 p. m, 18th, too
late to make a landing. The relief
party, Lieutenants Jarvis and Ber-
tholf, DR.. Call and Mr.. Koltchoff, with
their outfits and mails for St. Michael
and the northwest, landed on the 10th
about five miles from the village of
Tannauli, Cape Vancouver.
Lieutenant jarvis made arrange
mcnts with the trader of the village to
guide and assist his party to St.
Michaels, which place the trader said
could be reached in ten days. On ac-
count of bad weather and running ice,
the Bear could not remain to see tho
party started overland. Sailed from
Cape Vancouver at $40 n. M, 18th.
Called at the Seal islands on the Goth
and 21st insts. All well there. Ar
rived at Unalasku December 90. AL
well. The branded seals are returning
to ST. Paul island.'
Captain Shoemaker, chief of the rev.
enue cutter service, says that owing to
the advancement of the season this
year the Bear landing the overland en-
pedition was effected Mt about the time

he feels that owing to the indomitable
courage OF the two officers who head
this expedition, Jarvis and Bertholf,
It's success is practically assured.

he said on December 20, n week there
after they probably reached Teller
reindeer station on the north shore of
Norton sound, and are now well on
their way to Point Hope by way of
Kotzebue sound on the Arctic shores
Of Alaska. From that point they will
take the coast line south to Point Bar
row, making such arrangements at

SUPPOSED LOSS OF ALASKA BOAT
Thought that the Clara Nevada Has.
Been Lost With All

on kSONfU
Victoria, B. c., Feb. 16.-The steam
er Islander brings news that the
steamer Clara Nevada of Seattle, was
burned in Lynn canal, and forty men
who were on board are supposed tc
have persisted.
The Nevada left Skaguay for Juneau
on February 5, and when the Islander
which arrived from Comox yesterday
reached Juneau, the Nevadn had not
arrived there. The day that she should
have reached juneau fire was seen on
the waters of the canal, and the opin-
ion is general that the flames were
from a burning steamer. Whether the
passengers and crew reached land or
whether they persisted is not Known.
1t is feared that they met with death,
as there has been u terrible wind and
a snowstorm in the north, and small
boats could hardly live. Captain Try
ing, of the Islander, reports that the
weather has been terrific.
Seattle, WASH, Feb. 15.-The Clara
Nevada is commanded by Captain c..
Is. Lewis and her crew consists Of 90
men. The officers are: Pilot, Ed KEEL
ly, first officer, Smith; Engineer, Dav-
id Reed; purser, Foster Beck; stew
ard, O'Connell; clerk, George Rogers.
I, The n of the vessel had no
news of the reported disaster.
1t cannot be ascertained how many
passengers the Clara Nevada had
aboard, us no report has been received
of the number who took passage at
Skaguay and other points. The Clara
Nevada was formerly the Hassler,
which was built at Camden, N. j., in
1872 for the United States service.

ARMOUR BORROWED FROM PEAvY
Gave Letter What He Secured and
Is Now Filling the Pcavy


Elevators in Return.
Chicago, Feb. 15.-The journal SAYS:
There is new light thrown on the bat
tie between Armour and Letter last
December and on the present move
ment of spring wheat to Minneapolis
which has puzzled the trade from Chi
cago to London.
1t is claimed that Mr.. Armour is
filling another contract, chiefly with
Mr.. Peavey of Minneapolis. The story
is this:
When the Armour forces were work.
ing as never before last December to
bring wheat to Chicago from Minnea-
polls and Duluth to fill short sales to
Joseph Letter, Mr.. Armour became a
borrower. He did not borrow at the
banks. He borrowed wheat. lie took
wheat already on hand at central mar
kets from Mr.. Peavey and others and
entered into a bond to replace the
wheat before a certain date.
1t is claimed that the guaranty for
the furnishing of the wheat at the time
specified was n check representing
about $4,000, 900. The never-ending
run of wheat to Minneapolis for six
long weeks after best judges in the
trade said the receipts were at an end
Is now explained by Armour's efforts
to fill his contract with Mr.. Peavey.
It is the draining of old wheat
from hiding places over n half dozen
great states. Country tributary to
Kansas City has been worked for the
Minneapolis market. Now it is known
why the receipts up there have not
been "on the market" The wheat is
dumped into the Peavey hopper to re-
place the borrowed line.

K1rp REFUSES TO GET OUT.
Mntter Will BE Brought Up In the
.. Supreme Court Today.


Pierre, Feb. 12.-In the Lce-Kipp
squabble over the insurance commits
.sionership Il formal demand was made
personally on Commissioner Kipp yes
terday to turn over the Office, which he
declined to do. The governor will go
into the supreme court this morning
to test his power to remove the COM
missioner without notice of such ne
ton on his part.
The situation for a part of yester-
day was rather amusing, as the gov
ernor, Mr.. Ayers, his new appointce,
their attorneys and the chief Of police
held down the governors Office, while
the insurance commissioner, his dep
uty, three attorneys and a deputy sher-
if held the insurance Office.
The legal fight which begins today
promises TO be a long drawn out one,
as both sides are determined and will
carry the matter to the last ditch be-
fore acknowledging defeat.
The general trend Of legal opinion
here is that the commissioner has the
best of it from a legal standpoint. The
party press over the state is vet hold
ing aloof from any part in the strug-
gle. While their action would have no
bearing on the case the political situa-
ton is likely to be very much affected
thereby.
