New Y rk contains more triangles than
any other modern city, this being due to
the peculiar intersection of so many streets
at an acute angle. The most valuable
triangle down town is the intersection of
Nassau street and Park Row, and is now
occupied by the New York Times, while
the most valuable one up town is the in
tersection of Broadway and Fifth avenue,
better known as the Emo triangle"
which has just brought $500, 600 at auc-
ton, being at the rate of Sl61 the square
foot or 1000, 600 the acre. Emo bought
it in 1857 for S32, 900, and this sale yields
the largest advance ever made in America

A Wonderful Cat.

[ will write you story OF wonderful cat,
The story is true, | am sure about that.
If you'll give cat stories a good thorough
wedding
You find one reliable, this one that you re
reading.
The cat was owned by neighbor of mine,
And il you like prose better than rhyme
He will tell you the story in prose any time,
1t was a fine large cat with fur soft as silk j,
After weeks of hard labor he was taught
how to milk.
Standing under the COW, he would sheath
his sharp claws,
And obtain fine dinner with his soft vel
vet paws.
Hundreds of people in sunshine OF storm
Would visit the cat to see him perform,
But of all his accomplishments, milking
cows with his paws
Always drew from the crowd the greatest
applause.
The cat that made this his tory was owned
by Wallace White, Newport, n. H., and
hundreds of people really did call to see
him. Of all his accomplishments the milk
ing OF the COW with his forepaws while
standing on his hind legs was considered
the brightest achievement, as it was also the
most difficult to teach him g. H. Lowell.

WILL BUILD A HOME.
The Sisters of Notre Dame Do Not n
tend to Build Normal School.

In an interview with the sister super
Tor of the Notre Dame order on Vernon
street, last evening, relative to the
property purchased by the order
through Monsignor Griffin, The Spy re-
porter received emphatic assurance that
the estate is not to be utilized for the
erection of normal school. Further
more, it was stated that the state nor
NAL school had at all times proven
eminently satisfactory as a training
school for the graduates of the Notre
Dame high school and that for this rea-
son, if for no other it was apart from
the intention of the order, when the
purchase was made, to erect normal
school; that at present no definite in
formation could be given as to the in
tended use of the property, although
there is a possibility of its serving as
summer home for the order in this
part of the state.
The sister superior took decided ex-
bceptions to the statement made by a
morning paper, not The Spy, to the eff
feet that postgraduate course at the
Worcester high school was necessary
for their graduates to pass successful
examinations for the normal school The
reporter was given to understand that
as great a per cent of the Notre Dame
graduates were successful in gaining
admittance to the state institution as
those from the Worcester high school,

HAPPY DE LEoNlTEs.
They Believe Their Convention Will
Be Reeoanlzed as Legal.

The socialists of the De Leonite stripe
are as happy as boys strutting around
in their first pair of trousers.
Although the anti-De Leonites held a
state convention in opposition to the
regularly set convention in Horticultu-
raj hall, 1t is evident from information
received in this city from the secretary
of state, that the De Leonite socialists
will be recognized as the official repre-
sentatives of the socialist-labor party
and that their nominations will appear
on the official ballot election day.
The socialist-labor party is now rec
ognized as a regular party organiza-
ton, having in the last state election
polled the necessary per centage OF
votes to secure such recognition. This
does away with the necessity Of getting
out nomination papers, as was done in
former years.
The socialists like the operations of the
Boston caucus act, which the demo
Gratis of Worcester have adopted, ano
it is understood that they will decide
to adopt it themselves.

Coach Morris Conner returned to
Worcester yesterday, and was out on
the Holy Cross gridiron directing prae-
tice of the Holy Cross college foot ball
squad during the noon races. He has
made no permanent changes in the first
team lineup as yet: but he and Capt.
Kenney had a conference after the
practice, and decided to either shift or
drop several players. Today these
changes will doubtless go into effect,
and several surprising alterations be
witnessed. Lnnehan will be out for
his old position at end. O'Reilley will
also be on the field and several other
stockily built men have specified their
intention of joining the squad. In yes

was given a day off, and the entire
time devoted to a game between the

had not been approached on the sub

When the story reached the ears of
the ex-congressman, he said: You may
say for me that know absolutely moth

The story caused considerable amuse-

pressed, however, that another citizens
candidate is back Of the move, and that
his presence will be made known at the
