TWO BLACK CATS.
One Favors Mr.. E. F. c. Young
and the Other Mr.. Thomas
Gopsill.

1t is generally supposed that men are
in no wise partial to cats and perhaps
for this accepted superstition man him
self from his boyhood up is responsible,
for III is ever ready for a eat and dog
fight save when the cat is his prop
erty.
Such, however, is not the case in the
First National Bank Building. On the
contrary the building supports no less
than six cats and not a man of the hum
dreds who occupy the building would con-
sent to have one Of these feline pets in
jured. They run about from office to
office, often being the only outsider adj
mitted, and still more often the most
welcome of visitors.
Nearly every lawyer in town who ever
enters the bank building is acquainted
with Mig and Paddy two black cats
with glossy coats, that are usually to be
found upstairs, whereas the others re-
main in the basement. All the cats be-
long to the engineer, but Mig and Paddy
might be the property OF Mr.. Thomas
Gopsill and Mr.. z. F. C. Young. SO often
are they to be found in the private offices
and upon the desks of these business
men.
It is now about two years since Mig
nj Paddy became inmates of the
First National Bank. Both were kittens
at that time, and poor Mig covered
with sores, had been brought there to
die. The engineer, however, took such
good care of him that his recovery was
rapid, and just to keep him company
Paddy was brought into the building
from a n~eighboring saloon.
The two cats at present, however, seem
to care little for each others companion
ship and are almost human in their
Jealousy. If Paddy happens to meander
into Mr.. Gopsill's office and receives
notice from any of its inmates, Mig inn
mediately leaves and fails to return for
several days, while If Mig happens to
Paddy does the same, and as for Jacob,
a handsome big gray and white feline,
both the black cats leave their abodes if
he walks into the offices. Besides these
there are two Maltese kittens. too young
as yet to know jealousy, but giving
promise of as much favoritism among
the business men as Mig and Paddy.
Mig is jet black, as his name would
imply, while Paddy is black with white
feet and nothing green about him save
his eyes. Rats, according to the engi-
neer, are never seen in the building, and
Mr.. Young likes to have the cats about.
The namesakes of Africa and Ireland
have been presented with pretty little
silver collars, but Paddy was unfortunate
enough to either lose or allow his collar
to be stolen and is now awaiting another.

Farraeut,s ship In Service.

The Navy Department expects Farra-
CUTS old flagship, the Hartford, to be

firing four and six incl guns. She is to

Great Lakes. and determined to open re-
cruiting stations in the large cities of the
middle West and Southwest to ecure
about three hundred more Of that class.
AS soon as they are enlisted they will
be sent to San Francisco, and placed on

ship. and is able to carry a crew of LEO
trained men, with 800 green hands.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AvERTED
For Onoe the Motorman Was Not
to Blame,

What might have been a serious troll
ley accident was narrowly averted this
morning, and for once at least the mo-
torman was not at fault. Newark car
No. 1,022 was coming down Grand street
about nine o'clock this morning, and
when near Varick street the m%otornlan
slowed up his car as one of Peter Hauck's
big brewery wagons was in front danger
ously near the tracks. The motorman
rang his gong and the driver deliberately
turned his horses across the track direct
ly in front of the car.
The motorman applied his brakes
quickly n the car truck came to-
gether with no greater damage than a
dislocation of the fender. Had the troll
ley been running at a high rate of speed
some one would AVE undoubtedly been

the Sehocke three men team tournament
