THE BoWsER CAT.
MIR. BoNser Gets Up Conspiracy of
One Against Him.

On several occasions during the last
year Mr.. Bowser has shown the fam
lily cat that he was no true friend of
his, and that. did chance offer to do
it safely he would do him a mortal
injury. Particularly has this been the
case when he has had an argument
with Mrs. Bowser and got the worst
of it and the cat has plainly rejoiced
over the fact.
1t was only few weeks since, as
Mr.. Bowser sat on his doorstep alone
in the cleaning, that athe cat, who
had just been licked in the back yard
i ma fight with a bob-tailed heavy
weight, came through the house to eX-
hibft an injured optic and three or
four spots where the fur had been
raked off his body. Having put UP the
best scrap he could, and not having
quit until the referee pronounced him
knocked out, he naturally expected
sympathy, but was promptly and sad
Look here, you old reprobate!"
said Mr.. Bowser. as the cat rubbed
against his leg, you've been in
fight and had seven bells knocked
out of You, and IN be hanged if 1
amt glad of it! Durn you old yal-
Ter orbs. but you are no prize package
or trading stamp around here, and you
want to know it. If it wasn't for
Mrs. Bowser I'd hustle you out of this
house like a rabbit running for life
The cat understood and retreated,
but had his revenge two evenings
later when Mr.. Bowser declared that
Jonah instead of Daniel was cast into
the lions den, and had to take it
back on the family Bible. There
was a suspicion in the mind of the
cat that something would be doing,
and he kept his eye out for squalls,
and until the other evening he lodged
all dangers. Then Mr.. Bowser came
home to announce that he was going
a-fishing next day, and after dinner
he got out a tangle of hooks and lines
and sat down at the dining room win
dow to straighten them out. While
he was at work. Mrs. Bowser ran into
the home of a neighbor, and the cat
stretched out under the table to dream
of mice on toast and cream fresh from
the country. He was realizing that
life was worth living when he heard
Mr.. Bowser saying to himself:

is deducted from the pay of the mu-
sicians. The band players at the Leon
cavalio breakfast sent him a special
request to the effect that he renounce
his royalty rights for that particular
occasion Leoncavallo gave a signed
assurance to that effect, and the con-
cert proceeded forthwith, and success
fully. a glance over the schedule of
the Composers Protective society
shows that the musicians saved just
40 cents-a saving of less than 1 cent
per player, as there were forty-two
of them. Thus does true thrift -four

have not been able to obtain employ
ment since the fire. Companies burn
ed out removed their offices to smaller
quarters and reduced the number Of

deprived of work have ever since been
seeking it in vain. But they have re-
fused to become subjects of charity.
Small tradesmen, who were deprived
of their assets in the fire. have been
supplied with new tools and outfits.

when a magnificent long brilliant neck

The cat heard everything, but he
did not bolt for the back yard. He
realized that this was a conflict be-
tween himself and Mr.. Bowser and
that he must toe the scratch and win
if he could. He therefore made not
the slightest objection to being rough

the beginning and the end of the war
with Spain, and the ride of four blocks

him. The boy had to stop for an
other order, and he was long time
getting ready to go on, SO long that
the cat finally concluded that the
time was ripe to show his hand.
OF a sudden, as the boy threw the
last box in over the tail-board, some

Something also dropped into box

Something came through between
the pickets of the front fence. The
window was up, and Mr.. Bowser had
the tangle of lines on his lap and his
spectacles on his nose, and he was
fianked on each side by two or three
flower pots. OF a sudden something
struck him full in the breast, and
the force of the blow and the fright
sent him off his chair. At the same
instant three of the pots struck the
floor with a crash to scatter dirt to
the far end of the room, and three
of the fshhooks sought out tender
and juicy spots in Mr.. Bowser's
anatomy.
For Heavens sake, but what was
that?" he yelled, as he scram bIed up
and danced around just as Mrs. Bow

MUSICAL NOTES.

In the July issue of the London
Musical Times a rowing correspondent
praises very highly the Lower Rhine
Musical Festival at Cologne. One
paragraph in his letter is very inter-
esting: 'Dr. Richard Strauss Tail
lefer,' a ballad for solo, chorus and
orchestra, was the great attraction of
the third concert. 1t is laid out on
would-be popular lines. The voice
parts are comparatively straightfor-
ward and diatonic, but in the dramatic
situations the orchestra writing is as
complex as ever. The music bounds
along with the strepitouS swing of
Don Juan and 'Heldenieben' toward
the climax, for which the poem was
evidently chosen by a composer who
loves to work in the Ercles vein. This
is the scene of the Battle of Hast
ings.' 1 will not try to describe it,
but content myself with the remark

The music is said to be original and

Tolstoy's new novel Resurrection"
has been arranged as an opera, text
to which the young italian composer
AIfano has written the music. Re-
cordi of Milan is the publisher, and
the work will probably be performed
at the Scala next season.
The first performance of Max Schil-
lng's "Orestie'' took place recently at
Bonn, under the composers direction.
AS the City of Bonn has no regular
orchestra the military band of the
One Hundred and Sixtieth infantry
regiment played the orchestral parts
in a satisfactory manner. The Ger
man text of this work was trans
lated from the Greek by Williamowitz,
who is considered by experts to be
the greatest Greek scholar in the
world.
In Berlin Leoncavallo was recently
invited to breakfast at the Geological
Garden, and military band was en-
gagged to enliven the meal with selec-
lions from the composers "Pagliacci'

The cat sat up and saw that the
way through the kitchen to the back
door was clear. but as Mr.. Bowser
began to swear at the fishlines, he
presently concluded that it was a false
alarm. and lay down again. Five
minutes later the grocer's wagon drove
up with a late order and as the cook
had gone upstairs, Mr.. Bowser met
the boy and said:

complacently looking down on him
was the cat.

peared at the back window and said:

The Rebuilding of Baltimore.

Baltimore is recovering slowly but
firmly from its disaster of five months
ago. The burned area as it now ap-
pears is a vast field covered with heaps
of brick. The gaunt, charred shells
of the largest shyscrapers remain. but
all of the half demolished buildings
and .crumbling, ruined walls which
remained when the flame had passed
were RACED to the ground for the pub

of the burned district near the

rather disposed to ask why the lists

this query. AT this matinee twenty
