A Good Story.

Prof. William B. SCOTT, Of Prince.
ton, who presided as POSTMASTER at
the dinner of the American Philosoph-
ical Society Of Philadelphia recently,
announced to the hundred or more ia
nous men who sat around the tables
that he occupied his post unwillingly,
and then to prove his point and show
how little he relished the position in
which he was standing, he told this
story:
"Tim and Clancy were walking
through the wilds of New Jersey,
bound for New York, when Tim spied
wildcat crouched in the branches of
tree near the road. Clutching his
companion by the arm, and pointing
excitedly to the beast, he said:
CLANCY, do yez see thot foine NAL
tese cat? Olive frind in Vasey street
as wud give $40 fur ut. Stand yez un-
der, now, an Oi'll go up an shake her
dune. All yez'l have to dois to howld
her.
CLANCY did as he was told, and Tim
went up and shook and shook till the
cat did actually tumble. CLANCY
grabbed her. When there came mo-
ment's lull in the cyclone Of fur and
CLANCY and dust and grass, the won
dering Tim, looking on from above,
called down:
"'Shall Oi come dune, CLANCY, an
help howld her?'
"'Come dune? Come dune' gasped
CLANCY. Come dune, an help let her
gop"

which these words were spoken made
them ring through the banquet hall.
AS soon as they had been uttered, ey-
cry man in the room rose to HE feet,
cheered loudly and waved his napkin
IN the air. The demonstration lasted
Tor several minutes, and the beaming
smiles upon the presidents face
betokened the genuine pleasure
vhich the spontaneous tribute afforded
him.

Cats" said the officer, "have been
important members Of the army for
many years. Though theif names are
not carried upon the muster rolls, this
advertisement shows that they are COM

Government would certainly have TO
establish feline farm. AS tits they
are simply kidnaped-or catnaped-
and forced into service by shanghi

ohloroformed and carried aboard ships
for foreign service"
At the St. Louis storehouses in
custody of Colonel Smith OF the Sub.
sistence Department, and Colonel
Barnett, Ass;stan: Quartezmaster Of
the army, and even at the drug depot
on Vine street, where Major NJ. w.
Wood of the medical corps is in COM
mand, there are squads, companies and
battalions of cats on duty, and It IS to
feed these trusty defenders that the
bids for cat meat are advertised.
One Of the Government storekeepers
delivered himself of dissertation
upon the subject of his feline COM
rades:
ga large hunk of meat is a sufficient
inducement," said he,>"to get Tom or

"Once in while," he continued,

A discussion of the cat family was

bid for "cat meat" being the cause.

The DATE IS FIXED
AND RACE is OPEN.
Committee Has Called the
Primary,
CONFINED TO DEMOCRATS ONLY
Executive Committee Met Yesterday
and Ordered the Primary For Nov.
25th.-Mayor, Three Aldermen and
Clerk to Be Elected.

The date of the city primary election
for mayor, three members of council
and city clerk has been fixed by the
City Executive Committee, and the
dark horses that have been champing
the bit in the bushes can now take to
the track for the race of :heir lives.
November 25th., one month from to-
morrow, is the eventful day.
This date was fixed at a meeting of
the executive committee Yesterday,
and all rules governing the primary
were likewise laid down.
Messrs. A @. Bivins, j. T. Stallings,
H. L. Mize and J. A. Davenport were
the four members present, Mr.. W. L..
Childers being the only absentee. A
strictly white primary was readily
agreed upon, all white democrats who
have paid taxes for last year being en-
titled to vote.
The business of the committee was
thus quickly completed.
The election is yet month off, ana
the dozen or more aspirants for the
offices, several of whom have been
waiting for the committee to act, can
now come into the race.
And it is going to be one OF the most
spirited that Americus has Witnessed
In many years.
Already there are three announce
ments for the office of city clerk !;
Messrs. e. J. McMath, John S. Nc
Garrah and T. n. Hawkes., but there
may be others, even, for this Office,
the salary of which was fixed at 5000
for this year.
The term OF otlca OF Mayor Eel
der, Aldermen Fort, Glover and John
r Hudson expire shortly, as does that
of City Clerk McGarrah, who is filing
an unexpired term, Quite likely sew
eral of these gentlemen will again Of
fer, though there is but one announce
ment thus far.
Amerlcus Is on the up grade now,
and it behooves the people to elect
good and conservative business men
who will advance her interests to the
best of their ability.
