EPIDEMIC OF CATS.
They Receive Far More Consideration
Than Dogs

ct don't know whether you've noticed It
or not" said the man with the twitching
eyelids. but Washington has been afflicted
this summer with pest of cats. I'll bet
the sassiest sassafras stogie that ever came
out of Smoketown-on- Allegheny that
there are eighteen billion more cats loose
in Washington this year than there ever
were before since Tom Moore looked the
town over when it was in its hanky pank
stage and called it a thinly inhabited
morass. / am butting into cats in battal-

and much reflection upon this evil consum-
nation incites me to grope toward the CEN
ter of the stage and submit this question:
why doesn't the commissionality OF
Washington have busy minute with itself
and proceed TO do something with cats?
Washington has been after the dogs with
wire nets and war clubs ever since the days
of wooden paving blocks If l want to own

wrung increment, to stake the mutt to a
little piece of brass junk to wear on his
collar to prevent him from being snas1ed
by the mlrthful and hooking mnions of
the poandmaster. I've got to see to II that
he behaves himself and keeps out of the
parks and puts a reef in his rubbering pro-
pensites, and If a dinge-faced youth hap

tag. then the dogs liable to be swished to

This is the kind of game that Is
stacked up on us in connection with our
dogs, in spite of the fact that nine dogs

business and skate through life with a
whole lot of character and dignity.

Future Of the Trolley.
ON the Philadelphia Inquirer


Under this head the Lancaster New Era
sketches vision of the immediate future.
when trolley lines shall stretch for hun
dreds OF miles without break. and when
they shall not only carry freight, but be
equipped with buffet cars and even sleepers.
Why not? This would seem to be the logi-
cal development of this new system of
travelling, and the only opposition to 1t that
would amount to anything would probably
come from the railroads with whose bust
ness 1t might be supposed to interfere. But
the railroads are already changing their
Views on the subject They now regard the
trolley rather as feeder than a rival 1t
brings them patrons for long-distance
travel while relieving them from much Of
the local patronage which interferes so
seriously with their train movements in the
vicinity of large cities Trains and troll
leys should help each other. There Is room
for both. and the public demands the fullest
accommodation on both.
