appeals to every visitor, and with good
reason. and that Is The Pike" The
fair management do not wish To appeal
to the public with a s~lde-show, They
built an exposition which should stand

THERE, PUSSY, HERE!"

this suggestion didn't meet with favor. Somebody else suggested that the pole be chopped down, another declared that the fire department ought to be called out to dislodge the cat with good, heavy stream from 8 hose. An elderly woman wanted to phone to the s. P. c. A. Matters were in this strait when Miss Ethel Stbler, pretty young girl of AT Woodlawn avenue, arrived.
 Why, what's the trouble?", she asked in a surprised voice. Pussy up a telegraph po1e? We'll, I'll get him."
 She began to scramble up the pole while the crowd looked on in amaze ment. Straight toward the top she went.
 "Here, pussy, pussy, here, puss," she said in soothing voice, as she reached the frightened animal. The young woman kept up her gentle pur- ring, and the cat stopped trembling. AS she reached the top of the pole the cat made spring and landed on Miss Sibler's shoulder. Then the young woman slowly descended while the crowd looked on. When she reached the ground the cat sprung from her shoulder and scurried off. And the crowd that had been watching for nearly an hour walked foolishly away.

NEW JERSEY HoLDUP.
Treasurer O'RourKe Company Rob-
 bed Near Cedar Grove.

CEDAR GROVE, x. J., Aug. 25.- On a wild road in the Orange noun tains William White, a paymaster fol the O'Rourke Engineering Construc' tiOn company, which has offices in West Thirty fourth street, New York, was held up and robbed of nearly $lO,- 900 by four masked men. When the buggy in which he was riding with two compan:ons, c. E. Eldrich and H. s. Taft, was in heavily wooded section midway between Great Notch station, on the Greenwood lake branch of the Erie railroad, and this place, it was halted by the men, who sprang out of the underbrush at the roadside, and the horse was shot.
 The horse was going at a walk when the men rushed out from the thick un- dergrowth of the woods. One of the four, an American, who was complete ly masked, leveled a revolver at the men in the buggy and called upon them to halt. The other three, Italians, who wore blue goggles, also trained their weapons on the paymaster and the guards.
 Before the driver could stop the horse the American shot the animal in the head and 1t fell dead. Acting as spokes- man for the robbers, he warned White and the other occupants of the buggy that if they made any suspicious move they would be shot. While the Italians covered them with their revolvers the American went to the buggy, took the bags of money one by one and tossed them into the road.
 He then stepped back and one of the Italians came up and gathered up the bags which he put into a small gunny sack. Telling the Italian who had the booty to hurry on ahead, the American, with the other two Italians, remained in the middle of the road until their companion got out of sight.
 Then, walking slowly backward, the trio kept the men in the buggy covered until they were out of pistol range They then dashed into the thick woods and disappeared. White and the other two men, as soon as the highwaymen were gone, ran to the reservoir and told of the bold holdup. Brody telephoned at once 10 L1rtIc Falls, StaClOn twenty one miles out from Jersey City and two miles farther out than Great Notch.
 At the offices of the O'Rourke com. pany MT. Miller, the superintendent said that he had been informed of the holdup, but had learned little concern ing it. When asked if it was true that White had $10,O0O he replied:
 "He had large amount of money"
 He said that he did not know the ex- act amount, but that it was not less than 5000. The police of Paterson Montclair, Newark, Bloomfield, Jersey City and other New Jersey towns have been notified and are keeping a close watch on all roads, trolley lines and railroads.
