Brooklyn, in competition with all the blueblooded
and tendely reared cats at the annual show of the
Atlantic Club. which closed at Madison Square
Garden on Friday night. Mrs. Hale who cares for
sll the friendless cats which come to her because
she loves them, IS proud of her pets Each one
Of her nine entries won ribbon, and four captured
two decorations each

C Hughes the practical joker. shaved a cat and 1t
won a prize as marvellous species OF hairless fe-
line He also received the judges at horse show by
entering an old car horse, TO which they awarded
a prize. But Mrs Hale says there was no decep-
ton about her entries at the cat show. Ihey were
all labelled pedigree unknown, and won ripoohs
on their merits. The cats were entered IN order
that good homes might be obtained for them
Four of the nine entries had been sold yesterday

SAY THEY'VE FOUND GOLD
Prospectors Near atlantic City Start
erase for 1t.

Atlantic City n. J.. Jan. especaD.-The startling
report that gold in paying quantities had been dis
covered in the vicinity of Mckee City. a short
distance from this city has started host of pros
pectors to that locality. and the gold fever has
spread with great rapdity throughout this section
OF the State. The alleged discovery was first made
by Samuel T. Jeffries, weIl known contractor
who in company with Charles Smith. a conductor
on the Atlantic-ave. trolley line was cunning near
Mckee City a few days ago. While stopping at
a small stream that runs through the woods az
that place Mr.. Jeffriess attention attracted
by the appearance of dirt, distinctly colored yellow
that lay along the edge Of the bank. Both men
made a careful examination of the same and We're
convinced that their find contained gold The men
took quite large amount Of this pay dirt" TO a
local chemist for analysis and were delighted TO
receive word from him that the same contained
gold in paying quantities.
Mr. Jeffries at once entered into negotiations for
a large tract OF the land along the stream where
he first discovered the geld. and it was then the
secret of his mission became known. This is not
the first time that gold has been discovered in this
section OF the State. Al K. Winder resident Of
Pleasantvile, three miles from this city, says he
discovered several places in Atlantic County where
there is every indication of gold deposits.
