very extensive improvements in their

Of the company;
ssThere has been q line in Ei->Paso

which. This has been good town to

was strung.
1.-THE improvements which the COM

Paso service better than any in the
state except San Antonio, as that had
lust been refitted before the working
force came out here.
1--WE have erected in the last three
months upwards of five hundred as hne
telephone poles as were ever brouR BIT
to the state. These old poles which
have about seen their day will be taken
down and the new ones will be an or
nament TO the town. They are all OF
the same size and height. Most OF
them have only two cross arms on them
and they are only to carry the wires
from the subscribers, offices to the
nearest cable box; then they go into
the cable and then to the central Of

1--WE have put up FIVE OF these cables
and will put mp more. They are the
latest method OF carrying large num-

office to different parts OF the city.
There will be one to the corner oil
stanton and San Antonio, one down
FL Paso street to point about opposite
the opera house, one up North oregon
street above Main street, one to the
corner of FL Psso and San ANTONIO
streets, aud one to the corner OF oregon
aud San Antonio. In all, over 5,svu
feet of this cable was used in the work.
In each of the cables are one hundred
and fifty small wires"

The Points of a Cat.

A good cat-the l1ind you want to
have in the house, if ny-will have:
A round, stubby, pug nose; full, fat
cheeks and upper lip; well-devel-
oped bump on top of the head be-
tween the ears, betokening good ma
ture.
A sleepy cat that purs a good deal
is apt to be playful and good natured.
By all means to he avoided is a eat
with thin sharp nose, twitching
ears. It must be remembered also
that a good mouser is not necessa rily
a gentle or desira bic pet. Although
any good cat will catch mice if she
is not overfed, quick, full expressive
eyes generally bet oxen housing cat.
The greatest mistake, and probably
the most common one, in the care Of
domestic cats is overlooking, particu-
larry too much meat. In the wild life
the cat has exercise which enables
her to digest food. In the lazy house
life the same full fee ding leads TO
stomach troubles and to fits" The
best remedy for this trouble is no
food for twenty hours.

Father sherman,s Bravery.

A war correspondent of the Boston
Globe writing from Porto Rico has a
word of praise for Rev. Thomas E.
Sherman, S. J. After speaking of
the depredations of robber bands in
the vicinity of Arecibo, the CORE
spondent says:
Eater Sherman, son of General
Sherman, who has been guest of
the Sixth massachusetts, for nearly
a week and who left for Mayaguez
last Thursday, sat up all night with a
planter, Jose Blanco, eight miles from
here, to help him protect his prop
erty. Father Sherman, who resembles
his uncle, Hon. John Sherman, in a
marked degree, was armed with a six
shooter, which he carried while tour
ing the island.
Blanco was without arms, but the
plucky priest assured him that one
shot would be quite sufficient to scat
ter any band that might appear
Blanco had been notified by the Black
Hand that he might expect visit ON
the night of the 14th if he did not pay
over a certain sum of money to the
bearer of the warning note. Instead
of doing so he sent to Colonel Rice for
a guard. Two company L men were
Immediately hurried away. They ar
rived at the Blanco plantation at 2
a. m. and relieved Father Sherman,
who while on guard saw the flames
from three other houses fired by the
raiders.

England's Queen Demands Good Ser
vice, But Paws EMPLOYEES Literally.

The sound business capacity and
marvellous memory for details which
serve Queen Victoria so well in her
greater office as sovereign do not fail
to render her successful also in her
lesser one of housekeeper. She is the
mistress of palaces, castles and coun-
try houses, and, although the actual
daily housekeeping is, of course, done
by deputy, the royal head of the es-
Establishment remains ever in a very
real sense the mistress. She perceives
Immediately anything amiss, and per-
ceives also the remedy.
She is kind, but also an exacting
mistress, and as she pays well and
never fails to consider a reasonable
excuse, quite properly demands good
service and tolerates no Sinking. A
recent little volume upon her private
life relates several entertaining house

ways.
She has, it seems, a dislike for cold
meat, which she never eats, but ETH
quette demands that at luncheon a
side table shall stand ready, provided
with cold fowl and a cold joint, no
matter what daintier hot food the
dinner table may offer.
Like every good housekeeper the
queen knows and remembers her valu-
able household possessions, and is
fully aware of their individual merit
and the places where they ought to
be kept. She does not know them
all, for they number thousands; but
hundreds of them she does know and
