MINISTER HAS A QUEER CAT.
New York Pet That Can Tell an

be called Jim. That is not the real
name of this household pet, who would
probabIy Scorn so common a one as
jim. but there are reasons why he
should not be too closely identified.
Jim is no common cat. He krpws his
friends among the callers al the home
of the minister, and those TO whom he
does not take fancy are pretty apt to
find it out. He knows the lat home
day as well as any member of the fam

place on the divan, ready TO receive the
attentions of those of the callers whom
he numbers among his friends and purr

Next door to the old home of the
minister lived a woman who was very
fond of jim and who regretted the cir
cumstances that brought about a
change of residence. She wrote a letter
the other day and addressed it to
Jim" This letter was placed by a
maid on a hatrack in the hall, along
with the other letters delivered at the
same time. jim seemed to know this
letter was intended for him. because
when a member of the family came
downstairs that morning he was found
trying to tear open the envelope.
Strangely enough, he had never taken
such liberty with a letter before that
time and has not disturbed any letter
since.
Although jim has lived all his life
in the home of minister. he does not
always show that humility which
would naturally be expected. He likes

BUILT HIS OWN sEPULCHER.
An Eccentric Austrian in California
Makes Preparations for His
lnterment.

In a grave built under his own di-
rections the body of John Stivitch,
an eccentric Austrian, was laid to
rest at Jackson, Cal. Long before
death summoned Slivitch the latter
designed his own grave, or, more
properly speaking, tomb. He spent
many days cheerfully drawing up the
plans and with childish delight su-
perintended the construction of the
narrow mausoleum. When it was
completed he laid himself down to die
with sigh of content, says a San
Francisco exchange.
The grave is of ordinary length and
width and seven feet deep. Its walls
are of concrete and concrete a foot
thick lines the bottom. Twelve
inches from the bottom were placed
four iron bars, upon which rested the
coffin After the coffin had been
lowered iron bars were placed in like
manner and the same distance from
the top. and over them was placed a
heavy zinc cover, fitting perfectly
tight Over this will now be placed
"A LAYER of concrete of the same thick
ness as on the walls, and on top will
be the marble bearing the name, place
of birth. age and date of death
This manner of burial had been a
hobby with Stivitch for a long time
and when he made his will he set
aside $500 to cover the expense. the
same being on deposit in a bank of
Amador county, to be turned over to
the contractor on completion of the
work and its approval by nephew,
Andrew Perovich, who is named as
executor in the will. Stivitch was 10

many years and had many friends,
He leaves an estate of several thou

The old man had no special disease
but had been failing for months,

cuiar grave had progressed as far as
possible he remarked to Dr. Gall, his
physician:
doctor, if you let me die tonight
I will give you 500" But it was not
to be- He lived eight days longer.
during which time many citizens Wis

This name, by the way. has been
agreed upon by eminent medico-phil-

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 2. - Wapella,
about three hundred miles west, was the
scene Of a disastrous storm of wind, rain
and hail on Tuesday night. DaTk. low
rmmed clouds gathered in the west and
northwest Of the town. All was still ana
calm for a few minutes, then a hurricane
commenced. The wind blew a regular
cyclone for a short time. 1t was a ter
rible night for townspeople and settlers.
The public school, a stone structure, had
one part OF the roof completely destroyed.
Stables were demolished on every hand.
Considerable damage was done to stand
ing crops, while many farmers have to
rebuild.
But the saddest thing to chronicle is the
death Of Angus Mcdonald and family,
who were living on a farm, about two
miles from town. When the storm was
as its height they decided to seek refuge
in the cellar. The father took his daugh-
ter, a girl Of two, in his arms, while
the mother took charge Of the little boy,
aged six. Just as the father attempted
to lift the cellar trap. the wind had in
some way got under the house and blew
the trap door into his face. Seeing no
escape hat way, they decided to get out
side and attempted to catch the door,
but before being able to do so, the
cyclone lifted house, inmates and all, and
in a few minutes all was desolation. Hope
Il entertained that the mother will re-
cover. The others are dead.
The storm was severe in other localities
and when reports are all in it is feared
the loss will be greater than at present
imagined. 1t is the worst cyclone ex-
perienced in the history Of this country.
