JUDGE PARKER
Returns From Visit to
New York.

Rosemount, Esopus, N. T., Sept. 49,
Accompanied by Private Secretary Nc
Causland and G. s. Hamlin, of Massa-
chusetts, Alton B. Parker reached ESQ
pus upon the return from his Journey
to New York at twenty minutes past
nine o'clock tonight. He came aboard
West Shore train which was nearly
half an hour late because 1t was held
at the Weehawken station while n
buffet car was run over from Jersey
City. The presidential candidate was
hungry, having been too busy all day
to eat in New York and when the rail-
road officials heard of it they hastened
to attach a dining car.
At Rosemount tonight the candidate
refused to discuss the events of his
two days stay in New York. 1t is
stated upon high authority however,
that final selection of gubernatorial
candidate to run against Frank Way
land Higgins in this state has not yet
been made in spite of the fact that that
subject bore the brunt of majority of
all the conferences held with the nomi
nee while he was in the metropolis.

UNKNOWN MAN
Attempted to Halt Woman on Her
Way Home.

a call was received at police head
quarters stating that some unknown
man had attempted to obstruct wom-
an who was walking to her home: that
the woman had ned from him and
that he pursued her a short distance
from the DeLaschmant residence on
Cedar street.
The woman would not give her
name to Officer Rifle who answered
the call which was sent from the De-
Laschmant home. The unknown's
description was furnished the officer,
however. Rifle maze search through
the swamps nearby but no trace coule

So BUSY
WITH POLITICIANS HE HAD
NO DINNER.
CONSTANT CONFERENCE
From Early Morn Till
Late at Night.

New York, Sept. 16.-Judge Park
er's second day at the Hotel Astor was
even buster than his first. He saw
twice as many visitors as on Thursday
and spent so much tlme in conferences
that he had not a bite to eat from
breakfast at a. m. until he went away
tonight. William +. Sheehan, Sena-
tor Arthur Pue German, Charles +.
Murphy of Tammany Hall and David
b. Hill were the most exhaustive of the
consultants.
Other visitors were Bourke Cochran,
John B. Mcdonald the contractor,
State Senator Victor Dowling, of New
York city, Representative VIM. Sulzer,
also of New York and Urey Woodson,
secretary of the National committee
who piloted a large part of the dele
gates to the National Bankers conven-
tion into the presence of the nominee.
Probably Charles +. Murphy's visit
was the most interesting of all. He
came twice, eschewing the secret pas
sages that guarded most Of the other
callers from public view. After he had
gone away 1t was said that he told
Judge Parker Tammany trusted the
presidential nominee SO fully that 1t
would assent to any nominee for the
governorship Of New York state he
might approve except one possibility
who Is believed to be District Attor-
ney Jerome. Tammany would respect
fully suggest, however, that George NJ.
Palmer the Democratic leader of the
assembly, is strong man Of clean
character about whom all Democrats in
the commonwealth would gladly rally.
Failing Mr.. Palmer, Tammany would
turn out for Edward NJ. Shepard or
even for John b. Stanchfield who is
David b. Hill's choice but of the two,
much preferred the former
Senator Hills visit undoubtedly con-
cerned the same subject from differ
ent point of view Nothing about it
could be learned tonight. Senator
German and Mr.. Sheehan called to talk
over details of the national canvass in
which the former is to be actively in
terested from this time forth. For the
rest, some were callers on business and
others dropped in merely to shake
hands. In all more than fifty visitors
saw the nominee today.
1t is announced tonight, all contrary
rumors Notwithstanding, that Judge
Parker has not consented to make 4
speaking tour and that he will be heard
upon the issues of the campaign only
by delegations that may visit him at
Rosemount.

The Pope's Old Watch.

The story of the watch which Pope
Plus carries is well worth telling. One
of the cardinals was at the vatican re-
Gently, and while talking with the
pope Plus took his watch from his
pocket to see what time 1t was. The
cardinal noticed that the timepiece was
a cheap nickel affair with am old shoe
string attached to it in place Of a
chain. The cardinal drew his cwn
costly chronometer from his pocket
and asked the pope to take 1T as a gift,
and his face lit up with ONE Of the
smiles which, If one has been fortunate
enough to see, can never lie forgotten,
and said that the old watch was quite
good enough for him. He added that
1t was given to him when a lad by his
mother, who saved up her hard earned
coppers until she could buy it, but
there was no money left for chain.
One of his sisters gave him the shoe
string for that, and he was so pleased
with his gift that he promised his
mother he would carry it as long as
it kept time. The pope has never had
another watch, and says that he nev-
er will have.-Springfeld Republican.

CRIPPLE CREEK
HAS ANONHER AND DIFFER.
EMIT SENSATION.
CHALLENGE TO A DUEL
Issued by a Former
Congressman

Cripple Creek, Coz, Sept 16.-For-
mer Congressman John NJ. Glover Of
Missouri, who has figured conspicu-
ously in print here Tor several years,
delivered tonight in person to former
Sheriff James T. Stewart, a written
challenge TO fight a duel at Mount Pis-
gah cemetery by daylight the date to
be named by Stewart.
Last Friday Glover abused Stewart
and Stewart struck MIN, knocking him
down and giving him a black eye.
The challenge was the result.
The trouble between Stewart and
Glover grows out OF the letter which
Glover wrote in 1901, characteri2ing
Stewards deputies as thieves and
thugs. Glover, two years ago in No
vember fought Stewart for the nomi-
nation for sheriff and succeeded in de-
feating him. Now, that Stewart is \
candidate for the same Office, Glover Is
again fighting him. Stewart will play
no attention to Glover's challenge

FAIRBANKS
Boom For 1908 Is A.
ready Sprouted.

New Cumberland, W. Va, Sept. 1G
Senator Fairbanks reached here this
afternoon accompanied by United
States Senator Scott of West Vir-
gnia and Representative Dayton. He
was introduced to about 1000 people
by Senator Scott who said he would
be the standard bearer in 1908.
Senator Fairbanks said: 1--WE don't
come as an invading army, but as in
vading friends"
He ridiculed the Democratic anti
militiarism idea. He said the Repub-
lican party stood for the policies
which William Mckinley fostered and
he asked impressively if any one re-
gretted his vote for Mckinley.

POLITE HUNGARIAN
Arrested Upon Stark Electric Car, But
Released.

Arrested Upon Stark Electric Car, But
Released.
Louisville Herald:-A strange Hun
garian boarded an east bound Stark car
at Canton last evening and took n
seat A lady came in little later
and the man politely gave her his
place. He by accident caught hold Of
the strap which is used to register fares
and gave it jerk, ringing up one fare
against the conductor. This enraged
the conductor, whose name is Joseph
Rich, and he and the Hungarian en-
gagged in some pretty strong talk. The
conductor placed the Hungarian un-
der arrest and when the car reached
Louisville gave the man over to Mar
shal Guittard. When the true story
regarding the matter was learned the
Hungarian was released.

TIGER HARD TO POISON.
Lion Usually Falls an Easy Victim, as
He Eats VoracousIy.

Wolves, tigers, leopaTds and other
carnivora are difficult to poison be-
cause of the power which they have
of rapidly getting rid of the drug
Lions, ON the other hand, are very
frequently poisoned, as they eat vo-
raciously and quickly, more like a dog
than the other large felidae. 1t is
said that a good many lion skins, es-
pecially those brought back by for
eign counts and others from Somali-
land before the regrettable misunder-
standings between whites and blacks
had begun in that region famous for
large game, were obtained by the un-
sportsmanlike method of poisoning
carcasses and leaving them for the
lions to dGvour
Cattle, which have no less than four
stomachs, are hopelessly poisoned if
once they have swallowed a dose,
whether in a toxic plant or otherwise.
II is this curious arrangement of their
interiors which makes it such difficult
matter to give cattle medicine at all.
In common with human beings. ami
mails seem to be affected by poison in
certain forms when in a particular
condition of health. At other times
they can eat the same plant or shrub
with impunity. In certain states Of
health man can eat pork, Holsters
cookies, scaliops and other somewhat
risky foods without bad effects. At
other times the samo edibles would
produce on him the effect of ptomain
poisoning. Two persons may eat of
the same food at the same time and
while one is perfectly we'll afterward
the other may become violently i'll.
The curious cases of yew poisoning
among cattle or horses seem to be
somewhat analogous. They will some
times browse on shoots of yew and take
no harm whatever. At other times
they are obviously made very i'll or
die from eating the leaves. They have
even been found dead with the yew
fresh and undigested in their stom-
achs.
Where poisonous plants are present
in any great numbers in herbage it
seems quite impossible to prevent cat
tie from eating them.
Birds seem to have no discrimina-
ton whatever in regard to poisons
probably because they have almost
no sense Of smell and swallow their
food without masticating it. Such in
telligent birds as rocks will pick up
and eat poisoned grain, and crows and
ravens readily eat poisoned eggs or
meat.
Chickens will eat the poisonous seeds
of the laburnum and die from the eff
fects Whether birds such as tits and
greenflnches ever do so does not
seem to be known. But wild birds are
frequently foud lying in gardens
though apparently they have been in
good health a few hours before, and
their death may probably be due to
the consumption of poisonous seeds.

Her Money Always New.

One of the tellers OF g. prominent
savings bank was discussing some pc
culiarities of his business. I'VE get
money over the counter in every i'm
aginable condition." he remarked.
Most of the time notes are handed to us
in dirty, crumpled state that makes
difficult handling, but there is one de-
positor who always brings bills in an
immaculate condition. This is an old
German woman. The bank notes she
hands in are as crisp as if they had
just left the treasury. 1t used to puz-
zle me to account for the crispness of
the old notes she brought along
notes that by appearance had been in
use long enough to make them as limp
as rags. So one day l remarked about
it, and found to my surprise, that the
old lady carefully ironed all her bank
notes. She explained that she liked to
have new money, and pressing with a
hot iron made all the old bills like
new. l thought her fad somewhat
foolish at first, but later it occurred to
me that 1t would be a good thing if
people everywhere ironed their bank
notes. 1t would kill any germs."-

POWER OF CATNIP.
Man Scattered the Herb and Three
Hundred FeIines Went Crazy.

Hundreds of cats which had hitherto
led sober lives reeled home yesterday
morning with breaths redolent of fe-
line intoXicants. Many were suffering
from slurred features, nearly all were
drenched to the skin, and some bore
the marks of night sticks and thick
soled shoes. One prolonged case of
katzenjammer pervaded Avenue B,
where Flora led the revels, and there
are now heart burnings and lamenta-
tions. Scores of Maltese roisterers
were seen following the ice wagon yes
terday morning with all the ardor
which had marked their pursuit of one
Joseph Weiss, who boasted that he
could weave about all cats a hypnotic
spell.
Weiss says that he merely wished to
show a friend who was watching from
a window that catnip would captivate
one cat.
His demonstration was successful
He lives at No PSI East Third street,
and he purchased a supply of the
dried and pressed plant at a drug
store near his home. The youth be-
gan operations in the neighborhood
of Avenue B and Fifth street on Sun
day evening, crushing the leaves in his
hand and sitting them over the side
walk as he walked toward Houston
street
From beneath an iron stoop came
a tortoise-shell blur; flash of gray
emerged from a delicatessen store, and
a white form, showing side lights of
green and red, scudded from an under
takers shop. The call of the herb
filled all that avenue. Cats which were
doing peacefully upon counters and
under tables, feline outcasts lurking
in back yards and Railways, warrior
cats and singing cats, cats whose lives
were given to midnight prowling,
caught a scent to them as sweet as
gales from Araby the blest. All cats
within a radius of 10 blocks ran to-
ward that enticing strip of pavement
where Weiss bestowed his botanical
largess.
lIItt uuuuItu CdlS were dSStH-
blcd within five minutes, and up the
street could be heard the mad rush of
the feline reserves. There was not
catnip enough for all and the faith
ers and sons and mothers and daugh-
ters and cousins and aunts, forgetting
the ties Of kin, fell upon one another
tooth and claw. The air was cloud
ed with dust and variegated hair.
Kissing, growing, shrieking, the cats
rolled over one another, using their
claws in every direction and shrieldng
with anger and pain.
Grimalkins who obtained their fill
of the maddening herb rolled over and
over on the sidewalk, and many were
found in the cutters in helpless
state of herbal intoxication. Cats who
for a dozen years had given no signs
of frivolity patted kittens on the side
of the head and went frisking and
! skipping over the asphalt, to the
great horror of their owners and the
shame Of the community.
Weiss, when arraigned yesterday
morning in the Essex Market Court
said he did not know anything of eth
er the virtues or vices of catnip, and
threw himself on the mercy of the
Court.
You know we'll enough" remarked
the magistrate, land the next time you
collect a stack of cats and cause trouble
in the street III fine you the limit
