STRANGE FRIEND OF DOG.

.Negro's Humble Canine Made Up With a Wildcat and Used to Share Meals with It. ''The strangest bit of sentiment-if, .indeed,( one may call 1t such-that I ever saw expressed in the dumb brute creation was the affection of a big, shagy coated dog, of doubtful breed. manifested toward wildcat, and I have always wondered by what queer freak nature allowed those two born and natural enecies to get, along to- gether in such peaceful harmony" During a recess in one of the sec- tions of the Criminal District Court, Edward Bloch, the young attorney at
 law, felt the anecdote mood upon him, and q little group gathered around to hear the finish of the strangely begun yarn ''
 Tt was in Opelousas, or, I should say, the country near there, quite a few years ago that the friendship of the dog and cat came under my ob- servation." MT. Bloch went on, and then, as everybody sat at attention, he
 completed the story about as follows:
 An old negro, one. of the good, hoary headed ante-bellum darkies
 owned the dog, and as for the cat well, nobody owned him; he was his own master, and made his home, that is, until he met Romey, the mongrel,
 somewhere out in the thick woods.
 "Ronaey was a friendly beast, a great big docile, foolish looking dog, with hair hanging about his eyes, and a tail that always had the inclination to
 Wag on the slightest provication. He
 wasn't good for much, but as ie took such pains to be sociable, people in
 general liked him, and he got many a pot and few kicks or harsh words. 1 '
 "Old Jake, that was the ancient
 darky, thought Romey very peer among dogs and nothing was too good for the four-footed loafer. He always
 saw to it that Romey received a big
 share of the larder's good things, and would often go out and shoot a mess
 of rabbits or squirrels, just that Roniey might have Luculian feast all by himself.
 ~"While Romey had his good traits he also his his shortcomings, and, giver to wandering, he would often cause his

ished with his bone he arose fo his launches and piayfully tapped his canine companions on the head. Romey was pleased with this, and parked Tn delight.
 Jake raised his aim and drew a bead on the cat, but before his finger press ed the trigger he paused, and lowered. the weapon. In the first place he fear ed some of the shot might strike the dog. and again. he argued that Romey's friends were his friends, and it wouldn't do to hurt the cat, any way.
 'The snap of twig under Jake's heavy boot alarmed the cat, and the 1.-the creature, with bound, was gone off into the dark timber Romey tried to follow but couldn't keep pace, land that evening he returned discon- 1 solately home.
 Months rolled by and Romey made his daily trips to the woods, carrying meat with him always. and Jake re- conciled himself to the hard condition 1 his pet had forced upon him. One | morning Jake heard his dog barking l in the back yard, and, going to the kitchen door, he was just in time to | get view of the cat scampering away ] "The strange friendship, to the best [ of my recollection, lasted for a year or
 more, and only ended when Romey took a severe cold and died. His mas
 ter buried him near the little cabin
 door, and the cat, his shaggy friend
 sought his own kind, and was seen no
 more. '
 Recess was over, the judge ascended the bench, and story telling was put
 aside for the calls of business-N New

London Newspapers Indulge in All
 Kinds of Speculation.
 London, July 24.-The London news papers this morning note with inquie- tude the sudden resolve of Emperor Nicholas to visit Emperor William, and all kinds of speculations are indulged in as to the possible motives for and the results of such momentous interview at a time when so many difficult prob- len1s are facing European diplomacy. The Moroccan and Scandinavian ques- tions are regarded as possible objects of discussion, and it is also supposed that the reactionary party in Russia may have succeeded in persuading the emperor of the impolicy of permitting M Witte to conclude a peace on basis acceptable to France and Great Brit ain. All the correspondents agree that the interview was of Emperor Williams seeking, and the result Is awaited with the greatest anxiety.
 A curious story is published in Brus- sels in connection with King Leopold's appeal the other day to the Belgian chamber to pass the bill providing for the fertilization of Antwerp. The Petit Bleu asserts. that a few weeks >ago when q Franco German war over the Moroccan difficulty seemed not improb- able, Great Britain called Belgium's at tention to the fact that Belgium was exposed to becoming the chief battle field. Thereupon bill extending the Notifications of Antwerp was introduc- cd, but,itsmet with such opposition that King Leopold felt it necessary to inter- Vene to secure it's passage.

EZRA KENDALL.

The title of Ezra Kendall's play. or rather the play which Liebler X Co had Herbert Hall WinslOw write for Ezra Kendall, and which is to he pre- sented at Poli's Tuesday night is "The Vinegar Buyer" and is an odd and amusing one. but 1t imperfectly de- scribes the Joe Miller of the play. the character which MT Kendall impersou- ates, for Joe Miller does lots of things in the play which is vastly more inter esting than his vocation as a vinegar buyer. The Vinegar Buyer is. in fact an attractive human story of real life in a western state. and into which is woven a collection Of interesting characters. bright and witty dialogue and impressive situations, all of which in the hands of a superb cast, support ing the brightest comedian on the American stage. the inimitable Ezra Kendall. should prove one Of the most delightful entertainments imaginable.

 The man with the scared face leaned over the table.
 Well You've heard of the Aepy- ornis?" said he.
 Rather" answered They've got a thigh bone, it seems, nearly yard long. Monster the thing must have been!"
 "It was monster. Sinbad's roc vas just legend of 'em. But when did they find these bones?"
 Three or four years ago. Why?"
 Why? Because found em-lts nearly 20 years ago!"
 He paused. T suppose it's the same place. A kind of swamp about 90 miles north of Antananarivo, on the east coast of Madagascar And, some how, there's something in the water that keeps things from decaying. Di1 they get any more eggs? Some of the eggs I found were a foot and a half long. We went for eggs, me and native chap, and found the bones at the same time. It's funny work. You go probing into the mud with iron rods, you know. Usually the egg gets smashed
 'I wonder how long 1t is since these Aepyornises really lived? The mis- sionaries say the natives have legends about when they were alive, but never heard any such stories myself. But certainly those eggs we got wers as fresh as if they had heen new laid
