a line or made a speech for nothing.
Each Of the many articles which
from time to time appeared in the
magazines from his pen brought him

least In which he received 500 from
New York newspaper for an inter.

DOWNFALL Of the I'd.
IRE Minister'S PET Cat

The family of Brooklyn minister
are mourning the moral downfall Of
their pet cat. Once II was a cat to
be admired and trusted, cat which
set an example to the neighboring
Toms and Tables of the ways which
q righteous cat should follow. Now II
has all the faults of ordinary cathood
and more, too-as II striving to make
up for lost time. And It was the death
OF her promising family of kittens
which led to this regrettable change
In the pet cats spiritual nature.
Formerly one OF the most admired
characteristics Of the pet cat was her
regular attendance at family prayers,
which were held just after the family's
evening meal, at the appointed time
the good cat would march into the
room, take her position on a cushion
provided for her, and give respectful
attention during prayer time. The
children Of the family insisted that
N'-N ""NaotNOu All lHhl WAS Shlu.
While this would perhaps be an exag.
geration, It is certain that the cat
maintained respectful and attentive
demeanor which would have been q
lesson to many frivolous boys and
girls. No matter how hungry she
might be. the pet cat would not touch
the food set aside for her until the
family prayers had been duly conclud
ed.
"A short time ago the cat became
the mother OF several plump and prom
ising kittens. She was inordinately
proud Of them. Such kittens, TO her
mind, had never before been born in
Brooklyn or elsewhere. But the fam
lily did not share her enthusiasm
They considered that one cat in the
house was enough. The result was
that the kittens painlessly went the
way of supC rfuous kittens.
AT first the pet cat simply mourn

His Eyes Opened

When Natalie Hall married Clarke
Dexter the people who prophesled that
she would not be happy were so
very much in the minority that no one
paid heed to them.
"Dexters opinion of himself will
have to be whitfield down several
inches before he'll make any woman's
life what II ought to be-" one man had
said.
But every one knew that the
speaker would gladly have stood in
Dexter's shoes, so he did not count.
Nevertheless, not many months had
passed before a vague uncertainty be.

mitted to himself that woman Of

torney at law, might have proved
more congenial companion.
It was a warm day In early summer
After a lard Ave hours in court Dex'
ter assembled the steps Of the pretty
suburban villa which he called home
somewhat before his usual time. With
the jangle Of the day still on his
nerves he dropped into low chair on
the piazza.
Presently his own name reached him
as through haze. Dexter opened his
eyes lazily, realizing that for a mo-
ment he had been blessedly uncon.

But surely, dear, you and Clarke
are very happy"
The repeated question, coming
through an open window where the
air softly stirred some light draperies,

been to her as a mother, was visiting
them. Dexter recognized her voice.
He found himself listening intently
for the reply. It came gradually.

But, my dear, that is different from

1T Is different from the married life

Dexter sat up, too annoyed to realize
that he was listening to a CONVERSE
ton not meant for his ears.

paused.

bereaved animal mothers. Then she
sat down and did hard thinking act.
The results reached in her mind were
evident. The family she had trusted.
the family she had attended prayers
with so long, had deprived her OF her
beloved kittens. And the old cat
plainly made up her mind that she
would no longer have spiritual inter-
course with a family guilty Of such
misdeed.
That evening when the time came
for family prayers the good cat was
missing. After a search she was found,
brought into the room, and placed on
her accustomed cushion. But no
prayers for her. She simply looked
around the family circle in a scornful
manner, and then, with erect tail and
indignant mlen. walked out OF the
room. Since then neither brides nor
persuasion has availed to make her
attend the family prayers.
But II is not only in the matter Of
prayer attendance that the once
worthy cat shows signs Of moral de-
generacy. Formerly the most peace
full and well.behaved OF cats, she is
now ready to fight any dog that comes
within sight of the house. She is
ayerse to petting and when caught
submits TO It with evident reluctance,
all the time watching a chance to run
of. Once she was most select in her
choice Of cat companions; now she
nirts with every disreputahle Tom for
blocks around. In her every action
she displays the characteristics Of a
cat who has turned tail on the True,
the Good, and the Beautiful of cat
aesthetics.
Its too bad, sighed the ministers
little girl. whose especial pet the cat
used to be. She was such a good cat.
Always ON hand for prayers, always
ready to be petted And now she acts
like a regular heather cat, that don t
care for anything or anybody.

although II is generally believed that
the whirling eddies hereabouts are re-
sponsible; some, however, argue that
such is not the case, since each one
of these crescents has an opening
toward the northeast. At any rate,
the inner circle is an almost perpen.
dicular wall, of the finest purewhite
sand, and from the upper edges the
crescents slope gradually away on the
outside. They average about twenty
feet In height, the inner circle having
a diameter of some fifty-feet, although

half in diameter, which was, however,
not much higher than the average.
These crescents move, 1t is estimated,
at the rate of three inches every TWEEN
ty'four hours; and when, on the slow
journey, one comes near the railroad,
1t becomes necessary to shovel the
sand across the tracks, after which it
travels on, forming new crescents or
mingling with some Of the Others"

ing, are better all.around workmen
than American. Very likely, but why
should we spend years acquiring
knowledge and skill which are rem.
dered superhuous by our machinery?
Probably there Is not single AIner-
can workman in one Of our great
watch factories who could make q
complete watch by hand, as a Swiss
workman can. But why should he,
when he has machinery which enables
him to turn out about four times as
many watches in year as his Swiss
competitor can make by hand.
Again, It is claimed that American
machinery will not wear so long as
English But in this particular also
the American practice is more eco
nomlcal. With us the progress of in.

life of machinery is short and the old
is quickly supplanted by the new. An

The most surprising fact brought
to light by the last census was the
enormous increase Of machinery en-
ployed in manufactures in the United
States. The total horse power so EN-.
ployed in 1890 was 5,954,655. Ten
years later 1t had risen to 11,300,0S1
an increase of nearly 80 per cent.
AS one horse power Is equal to ten
men, we had machinery at work for
us at the beginning of the century
which was equivalent to the muscles
of liz, 100000 men.
Compared with this enormous force,
how insignificant was the number Of
employees engaged In all our factories,
viz, 5,316,S02, counting men, women
and children! That is, more than nine
teen,twentleths OF the work was done
by iron and steel men, who never tired
and never got drunk, and we're always
on hand Monday morning and every
other morning, were never lazy, nor
shirked behind the back Of the su.
perintendent and never struck for
higher wages.
When we remember that So, $50 900
such employees were added to our fac.
tory force between 1890 and 1900, we
need not wonder that our manufac.
lures went forward with a bound.
It Is the opinion Of our visitors that

NOT A PUBLIC HIGHWAY.
Decision Affecting Street in Center
lexington Subdivision.

Arthur II. O'Connor. assistant corporation
counsel has rendered an opinion to the
Commissioners as to the status of U street
east of 5th street in the subdivision of Cen
ter lexington 1t is stated that the south
erly line of the subdivision mentioned be-
tween 4th and 9th streets northeast runs
diagonally through what would be U street
if extended on the line of the present u
street On the original plat of Center Eek
ington on file in the surveyors office the
portion of U street between the streets
mentioned. which is embraced within the
boundary lines of the subdivision, was deS-
ignated as a street The plat of that SUBJ
division was made and recorded December
10, 1891.
Mr. O'Connor says the plat was not ex-
eCuted strictly in accordance with the reg
uIations relating to the subdivision of land
in the county, and some time after the sub
division became matter of record the
question was raised to the status of 9th
street and w street within the boundaries
of this subdivision. In an opinion rendered
by the attorney for the District at that time
9th street and one or more of the other
streets of the subdivision were held to be
public streets by virtue of lots having been
sold according to the plat of subdivision
with reference to such streets.
Thereafter a portion of the streets within
the subdivision was dedicated by the pro-
prietors of the subdivision. which dedica-
ton was accepted by the Commissioners
and the streets included in the dedication
thereby became public highways. A por-
ton of u street embraced within this SUBJ
division has a different status. The subdi-
vision south of the southerly line of Center
lexington has been subdivided so as to in
clude all land up to that limit within the
latter subdivision. including that portion
which would be within u street If extended
This latter subdivision having been ap-
proved by the Commissioners and recorded
goes to prove that the Commissioners have
not regarded the land in the line of
street If extended to this point as a public
street. and this position is further mani
tested by the omission of u street at this
point on the plan OF the permanent system
of highways.
II am therefore of the opinion" says Mr.
O'Connor. that the portion of the subdivi-
sion of Center lexington designated as u
street is not a public highway"
The opinion was given at the request of
the District surveyor. who stated that ex-
tensive building operations were in prog
ress In the subdivision. and 1t was vitality
important mat his office should be Informed
as TO the status of the street in question
III U street Is to be extended through the
subdivision now. ii will be necessary that
the land should be secured by the District
either through dedication on the part of
the proprietors of the subdivision or by
condemnation proceedings.
