Cat Outs Off Niagara's Power.

Lockport, N j., Nov. IA cat Was
the cause Of great deal Of trouble to
the International Traction Company
and the Niagara Falls Power Company
tuesday night. Puss climed a trolley
pole on the Buffalo aud Lockport cleo
,ric railway at Hoffman, a small hamlet
west IF this city, and tried to walk on q
feed wire, Her tail touched the psrellei
wire that carried the current back 10
Niagara Falls. There was fash that
could be seen for miles as the "a 600
volts Of electricity passed through her
body. Puss was burned to crisp. Her
charred body fell across both wires and
and didn't drop to the ground. This
short-circuited the current aud caused
fuse at the Niagara Falls power house
to be burned out. The power was i'm
mediately cut of from all the lines run
ming out of the power house. II ives
TWO hours before the cause oft trouble
was located and the charred remains OF
the cat removed from the wire. 10 the
meantime almost all the electric rail-
ways and street lighting plants 10
western New YORK were without

A. rgv ssss,on Of the Unitarian Coz

Ar THE session OF the Unitarian Con-
fareuoe of the Middle States and Can
ada In Philadelphia yesterday, Rev
Charles Graves. OF Trenton, n. j., SAID
that the church's religion 10 slowly but
surely losing it's hold on the people
This has been apparent to many OBJ
servant people for some time, and there
ara causes for 1t which should be as
cer,ained, that the things remaining
NAV be strengthened. Many are run
ming to and fro and knowledge Is being
increased, but with multiplied churches
throughout Christendom, their many
s;de.sbows in the shape of societies OF
all sorts ADD the annual expenditure OF
millions of dollars, the fact Is sadly ap-
parent that the church is In its Laodi-
oean sge, which is to be the last 10 lis

contentious OF the last eighteen centu-
rles. the faith, esrnestness unostents'
tiousness and simple surroundings
which characterized the infant church
have never been improved on-in
a sniritusl sense. The little bands
which gathered in upper rooms, stone
ouArries or oataoombs had apparently
more of the spirit OF the Founder than
the millions who now fill cathedrsls,
while those who met in fields under the
CANOPY of heaven, while not always
hearing the angelic choir rendering
"Peace on earth, good will to men"
experienced its.blessing. 1t is believed
BY many that the reason the church
fails to appeal to the masses is its
modern righteousness and the expense
necessarily incurred by people OF mod
crate incomes 10 order to keep in the
procession. With more simple sur
roundiugs and at minimum cost, the
gospel net would enclose many who

The STRUGGLE which Is now going
on before a committee OF the
State constitutional convention over
the liquor question has brought out
many opinions pro aud con on this sub
j act which has been argued from every
standpoint sincs the days OF Noah and
his unfortunate experience. A letter
written by the late Jefferson Davis In
1887, when this vsxed question Was
dstrscting the Texas constitutional
convention, has been reproduced. As
was the case with nearly everything
else on which that distinguished man
was called upon to give an opinion, bis
letter abounded In conservatism and
good sense. He argured that prohibl.
ton would be an offense sgsinst the
free institutions Of the country, although
none could gsinsay nor resist the fact
that much misery and trouble was
brought into the world by the intern
perate use OF stimulants. he called st.
taution to the fact that there had been
a marked decrease 10 drunkenness dur.
ing the score Of years proceeding the
date of his letter, and that II christian
ity and civilization we're not hsmpered
by legislation the good work would
continue to 90 on. He made the true
observation 10 his letter, to the effect
that the world is governed too much
and concluding his letter by saying
ITO destroy individual liberty and
moral responsibility would be to ersdi
cate one evil by the substitution Of
another, which it Is submitted would
be more fatal than that for which 1t Il
offered as a remedy. The abuse and
not the use Of stimulants, 1t must b,
confessed, Is the evil TO be remedied.'

THE JUDGE5HIP.

The appointment Of Henry Clay Nc
Doyell to be United States district
Judge OF the western district OF Virgin
ia, which was agreed upon last Tues
day, has been formally announced. 10
speaking OF the appointment the Rlch-
mond News says:
Disappointment over the failure OF
President Roosevelt 10 appoint Judge
Lewis to the jndGeship OF the western
district appears TO be universal, and
various reasons are assigned for the APP
parently sudden change 10 the mind OF
tue President, who had decided lean
ings towards Judge Lewis.
A prominent oficeholder said todsy
that the President changed his mind
becsuse OF the interference of John &.
Wise. of New York. "Wise went to
the President" be said, land black
guarded Agnew and Bowden, the ma
chine, and all the officeholders OF this
State, aud then put 10 bis endorsement
of Judge Lewis. Then, too, Judge Lewis
would not declare himself candidate,
and that fact hurt him considerably.
have Just come from Washington and
know from the statements OF the
o her candidates that bad Judge Lewis
declared that be wanted the appoint
ment every other man would have
withdrawn at once"
Tine nti-officeholders faction Of the
republican party in this city lays the
protest filed with the President by Ag-
new and Bowden against the appoint
ment OF any one except man from the
western district. These take some
comfort from the fact that the machine
was hoist with lite own petsrd, and de-
clare that the machines action was d.
rectly due to their desire to secure the
appointment for Hose, but that the
appointment OF Mcdowell gives the
Office 10 the mao VINO owes the ma
chine 20 allegiance, and who will dIs
lurb their Calculations by turning ouI
