BATTLE WITH WILD CATS.

Alfred Luca., of Clarence, Center
county, Pa, Was the hero OF thrilling
encounter with wildcat on Tuesday.
Lucas resides in a section of the Allie
gheny mountains where wildcats are
unusually numerous, so much so that in
one week recently be killed exactly
twenty one of the brutes. On Tues
day, accompanied by several dogs,
Lucas took trip to closely wooded
and deep gorge in one of the defi|es of
the mountains. The dogs routed
up an old shs cat aud her TWO hail.
grown kittens. The dogs soon had the
animals in close combat, the kittens
not being spry enough to evade them,
while the mother cat fought frantically
for her young. Lucas YVES afraid to
shoot lest he kill dog instead of cat,
but, with view to getting into position
where he might be able to dispatch the
old Cat, ne was creeping quietly closer
to the combatants when he was start
led by low growl behind him. Turn.
ing hastily, Lucas wa, horri6ed to
see, not dozen PAGES in the rear, an
o!d male cat, with fur erect and lashing
tail. Before Lucas could bring his gun
to his shoulder, the cat made leap at
Dlm, and the man saved himself from
the cats claws by jumping behind a
tree. Quickly bringing hls gun to shoul-
der, h. let fly both barrels, but in his
nervous haste, took poor aim, and in
stead of killing the cat only inflicted
severe flesh wounds. which rendered
the animal the more frantic. Recover
ing itself, the animal again sprang for
Lucas, who clung close to the tree, and
when the beast alighted clubbed it with
his gun. Two or three times the cats
claws tore the mans clothing and sank
into the flesh, but finally Lucas, with
his huge anife, stabbed it to the heart
Ia the meantime the dogs, though all
badly disabled, had succeeded in dispos.
ing of the old she.cat and both kittens,
and Lucas thus secured four more pelte
to add TO his collection.

SUGAR IN SPAIN.

Mr.. Mertens. in charge Of the United
States Consular Agency at Valencia,
under date of June 5, 1899, says:
Since the loss of her colonies Spain's
sugar factories, with a yearly production
of about $4,000 tons, are unable to satisfy
the public demand, which amoun in all
Spain to about 100 900 tons of sugar dur
ing the year. A high prohibitiVe duty Of
1924 per cent on foreign sugar protects
the home industry and stands in the way
of sugar dealers and consumers. For
this reason a union of tradespeople and
merchants of the different cities Of Spain
have petitioned the Spanish government
to reduce the import duty to so per cent,
which would afford a fair protection for
the refiner.es and at the same time per-
NIT the import of sufficient sugar to SUPP
ply the demand. While this petition
meets with great opposition from the re-
finers, still, in view of the need of sugar
and the small chance of increasing either
the numbe Of factories or their output in
the near future. the Spanish government
will probably educe the duty, more es-
p~ecially as this will add to the customs
income of the country and do away with
the incentive for smuggling. AS soon as
this reduction becomes a law our dealers
in refined sugar should be ready with
SAMPLES to secure contracts before the
competition with other countries becomes
too keen"
