COOKING A CAT.
Northern Italy Would Rather Have
Puss Roasted Than Boiled.


Puss Roasted Than Boiled.
In northern Italy the cat Is 8 fa-
Vorite and growing article Of food. In
Azeglio, in Venice, in Verona, butchers
sell cats and call them rabbits, for
the state forbids the eating Of cats,
but the poor people who have become
the chief buyers Of the inferior kinds
OF cats are not deceived by their cheap
rabbits.
The proper way to cook a cat is to
toast it In an oven until brown, with
onions, garlic, parsley, bay leaf, red
wine and some herbs peculiar to Italy.
When boiled, it is not so satisfac-
tory. Just before Christmas it is COM
mon for a group Of young men in
northern Italy to kill some cats, skin
them and soak them in water for two
OF three days. They are then cooked
with great care on Christmas day and
served up hot about 1:30 p. N. after
mass.
Italy cultiyates the cat for hoce con-
sumption, as English people raise rab-
bits. It is to be done on the quiet,
however, for in spite Of the profit In
the business aud the demand for the
delicacy the law has to be looked out
for, and the Society For the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Cats is vigilant. Ofenses
against the law are visited with i'm
nrjsonmcnt. Cats are raised for the
market none the less. Fatten2d on
the finest of milk. choice specimen

Why He Had q Crying Fit When No
One Was Even Hurt.
Eyes, indeed, we have some queer lit
tie incidents happen to us" said the fat
engineer. Queer things happened to
me about !. year ago. You'd think 1t
queer for a rough man like me to cry
for ten minutes, and nobody hurt ef-
ther, wouldn't you? Well, did, and I
can cry almost every time think Of it.
'.I was running along one afternoon
pretty lively when I approached lit
tie village where the track cuts through
the streets. I Stacked up little, but
vas still making good speed, when sud-
denly, about twenty rods ahead Of me,
a little girl not more than three years
old toddled on to the track. You can't
even imagine my feelings. There was
no way to save her. 1t was impossible
to stop or even slack much at that dis
tance as the train was heavy and the
grade descending. In ten seconds it
would have been all over, and after re-
versing and applying the brake shut
my eyes. I didn't want to see any
more.
GAS we slowed down my fireman
stuck bis head out Of the cab window
to see what I'd stopped for, when he
laughed and shouted at me, Jim, look
herev I looked, and there was q big

tie girl in his mouth, leisurely walking
toward the house where she evident

 nied-"Phli'' winters Case Con ntinued
 -HearIng on Bennett wmi Case
 Lion Brewery Case
 A decision was handed down late yes terday afternoon by Judge Thayer in the superior court in the case of Emma N. Ruickholdt vs. F. Arthur Ruick- holdt. Judge Thayer renders a verdict in favor of the defendant thus deny ing the divorce. and. of course, the ali- mony.
 The trial of the case occupied the at- tention of the court for humber of days recently and was of especial in- terest from the fact that the defendant, Dr. Ruiekholdt, has been divorced three times before. The action was brought on the ground of intolerable cruelty and most of the evidence was unfit to print.
 It was stated during the trial that the doctor was worth about $S0,0OO, and if this is. so, and had the divorce been granted, it was expected that his wife would have been allowed about $1O,O0O, or one-third of the whole amount. Un- der Judge Thayer's decision Mrs. Ruickholdt gets no satisfaction what ever.

BOARD OF RELIEF PETIr1oNED
By the National Wire Corporation for
 Lower Rates. S.

By the National Wire Corporation for
 Lower Rates. Everett B. Webster, treasurer, and H. Sanborn Smith, secretary and vice pres ident of the National Wire corporation, whose works are located on Fairmount avenue in Fair Haven, appeared before the board of relief in city hall yester- day and protested strongly against the assessment for taxes that had been Iladi on them by the board of assessors.
 It was stated that the company a few years ago received the impression that their taxes for some years would be kept down to nominal sum. c. T. Driscoll was then mayor and the off, cials of the wire company said that the mayor intimated to them that it was not the policy of the city to tax the tools of new corporation locating here. Therefore, the corporation officials told the board of relief that they believed their machinery should be exempt from taxation. As for their buildings and land they said they thought the city should reduce the taxation on them one half.
 TEe concern is taxed on S600,000. It is plant that has grown rapidly and will be extended considerably within a few years, and it's taxes will necessar- fly increase.
 The board of relief gave no decision on the matter and decided to have a joint session with the board of asses sors.

 New York, Feb. 25, 1904. George B. Bunnell, Manager Hyperion Theater, New Haven Conn:
 Dear MT. Bunnell-Now that it is def- initely arranged that Miss Maude Ad- ans will be able to appear in New Ha- ven on March and 8, want to say for her, as well as myself, how much pleas ure it gives us to keep this engagement after the disappointment her illness caused in your city.
 Miss Adams has so many friends and admirers in New Haven that her fail- ure to appear there some weeks ago was as much disappointment to her as it was to you and those who antici- pated seeing her in her new play, The Pretty Sister of Jose"
 She looks forward to her appearance there with renewed interest, and will visit your city with more pleasant an ticipations than before, because of the fact that she is able to fill the dates that her illness unfortunately caused to be cancelled.
 Yours very truly,

TRANSFERS GEr sTAY.

A stay of execution of sentence was granted yesterday afternoon in the criminal side of the superior court by Judge Shumway to the nine teamsters convicted of conspiracy and sentenced to three months in the county jail. This announcement came as pleasing news to the defending lawyers and the nine men. all of whom were there. State Attorney Williams raised no objection, and within five minutes after court had begun the session an adjournment was taken.
 The next move in the case will be the filing of findings with the judge and the supreme court and motion for new trial. The supreme court convenes in Bridgeport on the first Tuesday in April and will pass on the question of new trial.
 All of the accused teamsters are out on the five-hundred-dollar bond fixed two weeks ago.

BENNETT WILL CASE.

The trial of the Bennett will case, which may be either the. Bryan appeal or the Bennett appeal from probate by agreement bet ween Judge Stoddard and Attorney Henry G. Newton, which was accepted by Judge Gager, will com mence in the superior court before the jury on March 22.
 The matter came up before Judge Gager yesterday morning, and Judge Stoddard and Attorney Newton had a clashsas to which of the cases should be tried first
 MT. Newton contended that as the Bennett appeal would settle all ques- tions involved it should be tried first, or both cases should be tried together. He further stated that there was de- murrer to the answer to the reason of appeal in the Bryan case which would be filed. The demurrer protests against Judge Stoddard claim in his answer that Mir. Bryan's position as executor and appellant conflicts.
 Judge Stoddard stated that the Ben nett appeal had been brought as pro- tection to his clients to preserve certain rights. He said that he expected that the matter could be settled upon a question of law, and that he did not desire to bring in the question of undue influence, as that would entail addi- tional and unnecessary expense. He added that it was unnecessary, inas- much as the Bryan appeal, which does not involve the undue influence ques- tion, is capable of determining all the points at issue.
 Judge Gager ruled that the demurrer was not before him at this time, and that he would not pass upon the ques- tion as which Of the cases should be tried first, but would assign for trial Bryan's appeal, the first for Tuesday, March P, and the Bennett appeal for the second case.
