In Naples there exists a race of cats
which live In the churches. They are
kept and fed by the authorities on pur-
pose to catch the mice which infest all
old buildings there. The animals may
often be seen walking about among
the congregation or sitting gravely be-
fore the altar during time of mass.
A quaint procedure followed 100
years ago is still observed at the court
of the manor at Frognal. Hampstead,

ordered to place him In the stocks. AS
1T happens, however, there are no

Of SOBER reason, must be regarded as

talk about Imperialism IS cant None

inferior to that in the republican plat

After more than a half century of
study and experiment success has
crowned the efforts Of American breed
ers. and a new rae of equine beauties,
rightly termed the Americo-Arab horse,
has been produced which will work
wonders on the stock farms OF the
United States within the next score OF
years.
The recent purchase OF a pair OF
coach and road horses for President
Mckinley OF the new A~merico-Arab
breed is justly regarded by horsemen
throughout the country as an official
recognition Of the new race and has
given It an added impetus, says the

THE OLD FIGHT OVER AGAIN.

THE OLD FIGHT OVER AGAIN.
A beaten candidate and a beaten is
sue are adopted by the Democratic
party for another trial. says the ST.
Louis Globe Democrat. Again is to
i is to be the battle cry, and an at
tempt to debase the currency theSissue
urged o the people. 1t is a fact
apparent to all that a majority Of dele
gates in the democratic convention
were opposed TO a distinct declaration
for the old ratio. But the grip upon
the party of Bryan and of populism is
too powerful to be relaxed. The con-s
Vention dared not dispute anything
that Bryan demanded. 1t dared not
break with him. 1t put into the plat
form every word that he wanted there
and some that it knew would lead to.
another crushing condemnation by the
people. But with merciless indiffer-
ence TO the existence of the demo
cratic party as a separate organization
Bryan bent it to his will. He held.
over it his nomination by another
party and his purpose to run in any
event on a platform of his own choos-.
ing. knowing its own weakness, the
democratic party shrank from an att
tempt to stand alone on it's merits.
Conquered by populistic principles in
1886 it goes down before them again,
and its fall is far more hnmiliating
than before.
1t is vain to pretend that there is
any issue in the platform Of the same
significance as 16 to i. That plank
alone kept the convention in a state Of.
high tension for two days and through
an all-night session of the committee
on resolutions. Hundreds of mes
sages went to Nebraska impioring the
master Of the party to yield on this
point. He refused, and so the plat
form demands ssthe immediate restora-
ton Of the free ant unlimited coinage

But for the prolonged agony " that
plank the convention would have
moved through its work without a Jar.
There was no other point of contest.
Bryan was asked for no other conces-
sion. But lie had the democratic
party. or such remnant Of it as re-
mains, at his feet, and he exacted from

political views and populist affiliations.
In all human probability every state

there are states that supported it be

WHALING SCHOONER HERE.
THIRTEEN MONTHS AT SEA AND
SHE HAS 60 BARRELS OF
SPERM OIL,

The whaling schooner Adelia Chase,
Captain Thompson, came into port this
morning, after thirteen months at sea.
She has aboard about 60 barrels of
sperm OIL and the past one Captain
Thompson accounts n hard luck cruise.
Oil is low, Captain Thompson says,
only about 80 cents a gallon, so the
thirteen months working and watch
ing and waiting brings but about q
couple hundred dollars.
The schooner will lie here awaiting
orders from her New Bedford owners,
and will. upon receipt OF these, go on
another quest which, like the last may
prove fruitless.
a smile crossed Captain Thompson's
face to-day when he told of the luck OF
the whaling schooner Pearl Nelson,
which, three cruises ago. found in the
body of whale she potted 100 pounds
of ambergris. which sold for Sl22, O0O
There is no telling said Captain
Thompson, but that 1 may strike such
luck as that.
The Chase touched at ST. Eustacla,
West Indies. and thence by easy stages
she came to the States"
The biggest whale taken on tins,
cruise was about forty feet long. amy
he gave up twentyfour barrels of oil.
