CATs AND RATs ON SIMS.

Der rodents had deserted, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph This being
known, it will surprise landsmen and
landswomen when they are told that
there are vessels which carry cats, for
every soul knows that Tabby is the

day when the big finer beforehand
came into port after a record run Of
seven hours and fifteen minutes from
the Delaware Breakwater, the re-
porter who was assigned to do" her
arrival almost stumbled over the
brightest kind of tiger" cat in the
saloon. Even he maryeled at the
presence of pussy. He reminded the
captain of the old superstition, by n
skipper only smiled and saidne hi
cats aboard ships were more colanFeta
than any one knows. Rats are safe
from their attacks, incredible though
it may seem, pussy seeming to take
pride in observing ancient traditions.
Apropos of this, however, only a
few days ago a vessel lay at her dock
in the Delaware River Suddenly a
rat left the ship, followed by another
and another, until whole colony had
evacuated. The crew noticed the
rodents exit, and to a man followed
the rats. Nothing would induce the
seamen to return. me ship was

DEATH OF DERBY MAN IN HOS-
 PETAL HERE,

Oscar Perthes of Seymour avenue, Derby, died at Dr. Cheney's sanitarium in this city, about o'clock yesterday morning of cancer. after being ill for fourteen weeks. He was brought to the santarium about five weeks ago and after an examination it was found that there were very slight chances of his recovery.
 He was operated upon shortly after being brought to this city, and after the operation it was learned that it would be impossible for him to live, the disease having made such inroads as to prevent a cure.
 MT. Perthes' fine physical condition enabled him to make long fight for life, but each day he grew little weak .er, until the end. His passing away was as if he had fallen asleep, so peace- full that those in the room with him thought he had only sunk into sumber.
 He was in his twenty ninth year and lived in Seymour before going to Derby, where his family survive him. He was married about three years ago to Miss Nellie Munroe of Shelton. MT. Perthes was we'll known in Derby and Ansonia, and in Seymour. He was painter by trade, and being thorough workman was successful. He had a fine business in Seymour which had to be given up when he was taken i'll. His death is deeply regretted by a large circle of | friends.
