Story of n French Cnt.

This cat story comes from Pont Ste.
MaXence (Oise), and for such small
place it is an extremely tall tale, says
the Paris Messenger. 1t would appear
that a resident in the place, who is an
enthusiastic angler, used to keep live
bait in a small tank on his premises
The angler also had a cat who natu-
rally was fond of fish, raw or cooked
This being so. his owner covered his
tank with wire netting to keep pussy
out of temptation.
But the cat knew trick or two and
went to the nearest refuse heap for
some fowl giblets which were prOvi-
dentially lying there. These she took
to the tank, let them hang into the wa
ter from the netting and began fishing
on her own account When the fish
nlbbled at the bait. puss would catch it
with a nimble claw! The angler, no
ticing the trick, threw the bait away,
but half an hour later puss was at it
again.
We hardly know which to admire
most, the cats ingenuity or that Of the
concOcter of the story.

A certain Dr. Casten, wishing to
study the effect of massage upon dis

Or Majendie," relates DR.. Elliston,
lin one of his barbarous experiments
which. l am ashamed to say, l wit
messed, began by cutting out a large
round piece from the back of beauti-
full little puppy"
Majendie may have been by nature a
brutal man, but even he would hardly
have done that when he was young in
vivisectiOn. In this country we
are not quite so cruel as the French or
Italians, but we are more cruel than
the English, more cruel perhaps than
the Germans.
A medical man in Jersey City pub
lished an account of some experiments
which he made upon dogs-I will not
shock the reader by describing them
and of this publication the British
Medical Journal of Nov. 10, 1891, said,
1T is record of the most wantOn and
the stupidest cruelty we have ever
seen chronicled under the guise of sci

Giftr Enr The Mnnrnera

Some deliver into the musty old rec
ords of Harvard has brought to light
an amusing provision with which one
of the colleges eighteenth century
friends coupled what was for his time
very generous bequest to the Cam
bridge university.
Mr.. Thomas Brattle was the tesla
tors name. and his interest in Harvard
evidently extended TO the individual
members of its undergraduate body,
for after leaving G2OO. then the equiv
alent Of about $4,000. to the college
for its general uses his will gives half
crown to every student belonging to
it who should attend his funeral
Unfortunately no account of Mr.
Brattle's obsequies is extant but there
can be little doubt that the occasion
was made solemn by the presence of a
large number of "chief mOurners" and
that good wishes for the deceased were
generally and feelingly expressed.

OBERLE STOCK COMPANY
: The Lost Paradise at Doris The
 ater October 18th.

Thomas Coerle returned home yester- day from San Francisco, where he se- cured the necessary talent to complete the dramatic organization to be known hereafter as the Oberle Stock company. Phoenix and for that matter nearly every town in the territory has at one time or another had its local dramatic company aided and abetted by profes sional people, but the Oberle Stock com pany will be the first company of pro- fessiOnal artists to organize in Arizona.
 They will open in this city on October 18th for a weeks engagement at the Doris theatre, and expect during the season to tour Arizona, New Mexico and other sections of the southwest. Their opening bill will be 'The Lost Paradise" by Henry c. de Mile. which will be played with the permission of the owner, who is personal friend of MT. ODerle, who first produced it in London. There will be change of pro- gramme during the week.
 Mr. Oberle is well known all over Arizona and he has been assured that he can make a success of this enter prise if he can only deliver the goods He is satisfied that he has the "mer-
 
 list of artists.
 It is to he practically an all-star company. Each member will have his speciality and the repertoire will be ar ranged to give each one an opportunity to display his talent. only standard pieces being played, such pieces as the Frohmans risk their regulations on.
 Mir. Oberle. needs no introduction to Phoenix people. as he has often been seen on the local stage helping just for fun. His professional career includes eight years with the Frohmans and four years with Nat Goodwin. That means that he is an actor. Associated with him in this enterprise are F. M Norris and Walter BelascO. MT. Norris is an actor of experience having trav- eled with GTiffith's Faust company and other large aggregations. He appeared here last winter as Mephisto in a local caste. Walter Bclasco is a well-known actor from notable family of actors. For the last four years he has been the leading support of Leslie Carter in "The Heart of Maryland" " "Zaza" and "Dewberry" leaving her every summer to fill his enSa cement with the AlcaZar Stock company. Another artist se- cured is George Bosworth. nephew of Hobart BoswOrth, for years Q leading man with Daly. MT. and Mrs. Belmore of the Alcazar Stock company are also engaged. Mrs. Belmore has been among the cleverest character artists on the stage for many years, and her husband is well-known character comedian and stage manager. Among the ladies who will add strength to the company are Miss Alice c. Croft. daughter of the postmaster of Los An Gclcs and lately a member of the Nell company. She is a young actress of great promise. Miss Della Buckley. also from the Neill company. has been en-

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the GUS tachian tube. When this tube gets in famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

BILLY MOONS ROUGH RIDE
He Was Nearly Crushed to Death or
 the Mountain Side.

Billy Moore, a former deputy sheriff of this county, was closely called by a painful death the other day He got off with his life, but not without a great deal of pain and severe injuries which will incapacitate him for a long time and from which he may not who'll ly recover.
 Accompanied by his wife he was on his way to Phoenix from his cattle range in the Mount Reno country. He was driving four-horse team over a rough mountain road. At one point where the road was exceedingly rough there was a sharp descent and MT. Moore momentarily lost control of the horses. Thinking that they would get away he sprang from the wagon. in- tending to hold them back by the reins until he could reach the heads of the leaders.
 In jumping from the wagon he was thrown against a bank and back under the wagon. The wheels were locked or else he would have been crushed under them. As it was he was relied up like a ball. At one time his head was on the ground and pushed along over the rough stones. He managed to extricate 4-Iii't4A II O4iA l4All ltl aiDNtS pCSlAlOiis finally get out from under the wagon. Then he reached the heads of the horses and finally got them stopped.
 He did not realize how badly he was hurt for some time. In fact, he felt no pain at all for some minutes, but soon after he got into the wagon he began to get sick. The accident hap pened about three miles from Otero's ranch. By the time MT. Moore reached the ranch he was helpless and was un- able to be moved for two days.
 At the end of that time he was brought over the mountains and to Phoenix, a distance of fifty-five miles. He is still suffering a great deal Though he can be on his feet and has been able to come down town he is un- able to lie on his back for the pain in his chest.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.

Chamberlain Cough Remedy has q remarkable record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet LIring all this time no case has ever been reported to the manu- lecturers in which it failed to effect cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the crOupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. It con- tains no opium or other harmful sub stance and may be given as confidently Co a baby as to an adult. For sale by Elvey & Hulett, druggists

It is great affliction for woman to have her face distigureil by pimples or any form of eruptive disease. It makes her morbid and sensitive, and robs her Of social enjoyment. Dishguring erup- tious are caused by impure blood, and are entirely cured by the great blood purifying medicine Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. 1t removes from the blood the poisonous impurities which cause disease. It perfectly and perrnan- ently. cures scrofulous sores, eczema, letter, boils, piniples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by the blood's impurity It increases the action of the blood-making glands and thus in- creases the supply of pure rich blood.
