Vienna, June 20.-Maj, Pomiankow-
ski, the military attache of the Aus
trian-Hungarian legation at Belgrade,
was the last person outside of King
Alexander's household who saw him
alive On the afternoon of the day pre-
ceding the tragedy Maj Pomiankow-
ski, had long private audience with
King Alexander which was interrupted
by the Kings adjutant, Lazar Petro-
vics, who entered the room and made
a communication to the King which
seemed to agitatc the latter. King AL
exander told the attache that the au-
dience must be continued at some flu
ture time. Maj. Pomiankowski there

On entering the ante room the at
tache found four officers standing in
a group reading an anonymous letter,
purporting TO have been written by a
friend of the King, warning him that
he would be killed the same night.
King Alexander was much disturbed
by the letter but was treasured by
NJ. Petrovics who rioiculed the warn
ing and told the King that in order to
prove his disbelief in it he would, con-
Jrary TO usual habit, occupy his lodg-
ings in tae konak that night.

were exposed. All interest centered
naturally on the challenger. and those
who came TO look at her included E. D.
Morgan, managing owner of Columbia,
on whose lines. speaking broadly, the
challenger is said to be modelled. with
additions and alterations by Fife; w.
Butler Duncan, one of the most ia
nous of Corinthian sailors; w. Ster-
ling Burgess, who knows a heap about
hull models; N. D. Thorpe, Irving Cox,
H. C. Leeds, Robert Bacon, Newberry
D. Lawton and Commodore P Nichol-
son Kane of the Regatta Committee.
The two Shamrocks were floated
into the dock at o'clock yesterday
morning, after it had been certain that
the keel blocks and braces had been
adjusted properly, so there would be
no possibility of accident as suggested
on Wednesday. when the docking was
halted. AS soon as the water was out,
staging was put up, and the painters
and polishers went to work sCraping
the hulls and applying a coat of white
lead mixed with dryer. A fine pow
der was used in polishing the concave
surface of both hulls, and at o'clock
In the afternoon. the midship sections,
about six fet below the rails, were
shining like mirrors.
Another coat will be applied to-day
and then will come the final furnishing
and the making of a smooth uniform
surface, that Will shine like silk, and
be smooth and hard. An emerald band
will be painted the entire length of the
hulls on the water line, but it is not
likely that the freeboard will be other
than pure white. That is a detail
however, yet to be determined.
1t is expected the poiishers will get
through their work on the two visitors
by tomorrow night, so the yachts will
be ready for floating on Monday. Then
the racing masts will be stepped, and
by the time Sir Thomas Upton gets
here next Wednesday everything will
be in readiness for the trip down to
the Horseshoe and the trial spins off
Sandy Hook, which will begin imme-
diately thereafter.
Mr.. Hyslop's brief statement tells
about all there is to be told as to the
appearance of the challenger as she
lies in dry dock. The difference be-
tween her model and the model of
Shamrock l is marked, even to the eye
of one not accustomed to measuring
differences. The new yachts beam
certainly is more than twenty-five feet,
despite what the English papers have
said. The beam of Shamrock I is "a
feet Ga inches. Old yachtsmen said
she was the prettiest and daintest piece
of marine architecture ever sent across
the Atlantic to try for the cup. Thou

CANDY AS A FRIEND

Draws the Children and They Are
often Family Buyers.
From the New York Commercial.
One of the most effective attractions
for trade in a retail grocery is a sup
ply of confectionery. 1t need not be
large, but ought to consist of the varie-
ties most sought by children. The bulk
of the trade comes from them and
while it may appear like small bust
worth of candy, when it is considered
that the penny received is one-half
profit, the temptation to increase the
sales grows.
Formerly nearly all the confection-
cry sold in towns and country villages
was handled in the grocery stores. Who
does not remember the old fashioned
glass jars filled with candy, which re-
tailed for lie a stick? There was usual
ly a small show case, with number of
different varieties, including the ia
miliar wintergreen lozenge, the latter
wrapped in paper, and the peppermint
drop. The stick candy assortment was
limited to hoarhound, Glove, cream and
molasses. These four varieties consti-
tuted the stock assortment in the aver
age retail grocery. Later came the
chocolate cream, the old sugar loaf
shaped sort but they were not so pop-
ular because the quantity which could
be bought with penny was small, and
the superiority of product did not ap-
peal to the average buyer. Quantity
was the thing which generally deter
mined the sale of such goods.
An experienced merchant said that n
would be good thing, in his opinion,
II every retailer in city or country, with
the possible exception of the largest
stores, would put in quantity of con-
rectlonery of which they could give a
large quantity for a penny. wise re-
tailers," said he, make a point to at

many instances children are the buyers
of the family. They are handed the
money and told to get certain goods.
The parents frequently do not know
and do not care where they buy. hut

CATS TO KILL PRAIRIE DOGS.
Montana Rnncbers Discover a New
Way to Fight n Pest.


Way to Fight n Pest.
From the Butte Inter Mountain.
Minnesota cats by the hundreds
have been imported into this state by
two sheepmen in an endeavor to exter-
inmate the prairie dogs, which have
become a great pest. Nelson & Rice
are the owners of the ranch where
the cat experiment is being tried. The
cats are of all colors and varieties and
were brought from st. Paul and Min
neapolis. The ranch is in the foothills,
in the sheep country, and for the last
two years the owners have been al
most driven out by the prairie dogs,
which have multiplied so rapidly that
they are destroying vegetation and
grain.
Poison was tried without effect, and
then an attempt was made to shoot
the little dogs, but this was found a
useless waste of money, as the animals
simply laughed at the hunters. Final
ly Rice made up his mind to try the
cats. Going to Minnesota he went
among his friends and from them Sc
cured a lot of the felines, the bigger
and more savage they were the better.
The cats were shipped to the ranch
in lots of two dozen at a time. They
were at first bewildered by their sur
roundings, and some of the younger
animals promptly deserted and are
now wandering in the foothills.
Those that remained started in on
their work in a way that delighted the
ranchmen. and in less than a week il
was determined TO import all the cats
that could be obtained. There are
now on the ranch, which is nearly 200
miles east of this city, about 275 cats,
each one guaranteed to kill no fewer
than two prairie dogs every day
From city OF several thousand

hounds.
From the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can.
In one of the numerous versions of
Uncle Toms Cabin" that have been
played at different times the fugitive
slaves sought a house for safety
against the pursuing dogs. When the
bloodhounds came in and shifted and
barked and tore at their place of con-
cealment the realistic acting of the
ferocious brutes almost caused strong
men to faint. They nearly broke the
framework down with their furious
rushes and leaps to get inside.
How they could be trained to such
a pitch of naturalism caused great
wonder. Yet the secret was simple
Inc dogs had been chained up and I'M
fed for hours before the play. Inside
the door stage hand had a big piece
of beef, of course unseen by the audi
ence, which he allowed the dogs to
sniff and then moved from side to side.
Hence their impressive acting.
Those who remember James A.
Herne's Hearts of Oak will recall
that in one of the earlier scenes at a
certain cue cat came on the stage,
walked across to the fireplace, stretch
ed herself and then lay down In front
of the blazing hearth. Real fire in a
gas log was burned in order to make
the scene more realistic and natural
The cat did her part SO easily and
naturally that she frequently got a
round of applause, and it always hap
pened that most popular topic of
conversation with those who saw the
play was How did they ever train that
cat to come on the stage, stretch her
self and lie down in front of the fire?"
Night after night the cat took her
cue and went through her little act,
to the wonder and delight of all be-
holders. 1t really seemed like a re-
markable performance on her part. but
after all her education was very sim
pie matter.
