MRS. SMITHS CAT.
He Got Very Tired of Answering That
DuestiOu.


The village photographer was known
about the town as Hop, the philoso-
pher." but he was more-he had one
hobby on Shakespeare and another on
cleanliness and n%eatness, says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. He had
also a bad habit of licking all photo
graphs in affixing them to the card
mounts instead of using the hand rub
Der Squeeze" which his unphiloso-
phic competitors used. On days when
he wasn't papering his gallery. paint
ing the floor or wasting crisp white
sheets of paper on the window panes,
he was licking photographs and read
ing Hamlet" or Richard Ill" When
he finished licking he went to paint
ing and reci.ed TO himself the sem
fences he h4d read. One day Mrs.
Mary Jane Smith brought her pet cat
to the gallery to be photographed.
Puss made a splendid negative and
when the prints were finished the phil
osopher licked an extra one and placed
1t in the front row of his prize collec-
ton in the office show case. 1t soon
happened that as son as Hop" was
well started IN the soliloquy Of the
prince of Denmark or the machina-
tons of RicharI III. some good woman
or inquisitive mar would interrupt
him to ask, Whose cat is that?" BY
and by he began to keep a record OF
the number of times the question was
asked. After eight months he tired OF
the game and the Interruptions and de-
cided to stop 1t at once. He printed a
small sign on a slip of paper: This is
Mrs. Smiths cat" He pasted it along
the bottom of the card and sat down
to await results. The door opened and
in walked a prospective customer. She
made directly for the showcase with
her eye on the cat. Hop" nodded and
smiled significantly. mo questions
this time" ha~4tA to himself, but the
woman inquire,oAndly: which Mrs.
Smith," That settled the career OF the
prize picture. 1t went into the waste
basket torn into shreds five minutes
later. But it wasn't the end OF the
affair as far as Hop" was concerned.
For the next six months nearly every
one who came In inquired where's
the picture of the Smith cat?" And
now he tells the story himself while
customers sit in front OF his camera,
so that they will look happy when he
snaps the shutter. That is how he
came by his present collection Of
smiling faces on exhibition in his
showcase.

NOW THE PULLMAN COMPANY.

Of the Pullman Palace Car company
and its rival, the Wagner Palace Car
company, for the purpose of expressing
approval of the action of the recent
meeting of the directors, in taking
steps looking toward the merging of
the two corporations. Nearly every
share Of stock in the Pullman company
was represented at the meeting, and
the action of the board of directors was
approved by a practically unanimous
vote. In approving the action of the
board, the stockholders voted to in
crease the capital stock of the Pullman
company from s54 ,OOO, 900 10 S74, 0OO, 900.
the increase to be for the purpose of

lowing directors were elected to the

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
IMPORTANT DEAL IN 40 SHARES
OF STOCK NOW BEING
CLOSED.
Vanderbilts Believed ito Be Behind the
D~eal-Stock Sold at $40 Per Share
Santa Fe Rapidly Nearing San
Francisco-Colorado Roads to
Fight Combination.

The San Francisco Call prints the
following special dispatch from New
York: The Huntington-Speyer syndi-
cate, which purchased the Croker and
Stanford holdings of Southern Pacific
stock, has closed another immense
deal. 1t comes to light that General
Thomas H. Hubbard, representing the
original Mark Hopkins interests, which
passed into the possession Of Edward
Searles, has sold to the syndicate 140,-
900 shares Of Southern Pacific company
stock at a price ap%proximating $40 per
share.
The negotiations were begun at the
time Mrs. Stanford sold her stock, but
the transaction was conducted with the
utmost secrecy. General Hubbard still
represents as many shares of stock as
he sold to the syndicate, and will not
relinquish his position as first vice.
president OF the Southern Pacific.
George Crocker will leave here in a
few days. He will go to San Francisco
via New Orleans, and on the journey
inspect the property Of the Pacific I'm
provement company.
The Call adds: The surprise of the
year in the railway world may be in
reserve. Operations Of the syndicate do
not point to actual buyers other than
Huntington and John w. Mackay, but
there are others, because from the be-
ginning the syndicate has been un-
derwriting. Despite denials, many
leading railroad men cling to the belief
that the Vanderbilts are in some way
concerned in this vast deal in South
ern Pacific company securities. Again,
it is surmised that the public will be
invited to purchase Southern Pacific as
an investment, and that the stock will
be on the market the same as the stock
Of other railroad corporations.

From the Providence Journal: Is II
lack OF money that keeps men from
marrying? This is the reason often
advanced. and 1t seems to be justified
by the recent episode at Chicago, where
nifty couples rushed to take advantage
Of a free performance Of the ceremony
how they were to live afterward evil
IDENTIFY being a less important matter.
Perhaps 1t Is only in the higher walks
of life that the blessed estate OF holy
matrimony is avoided on financial
grounds. Society demands more and
more Of those who belong to it, and
young men In moderate circumstances
dread the burden Of a wife and family,
preferring their " selfish pleasure.

cigar salesman from Richmond, and
after supper he amused us with some

three seconds it was a CHASTITY, hideous
