The Way Ocean Liners Are Rid of
Rats and Reaches. :,
RAT anu dcn
er docks and on ocean liners is one of
the queer ways men have of making a
living. And a good living they make
at it, too-sometimes as much as &c..
600 a year. The men who do it never
advertise, because the business does not
sound as well as it pays, and a man
whose house Is built out of dead rats
and cockroaches would just as soon not
have his neighbors know it,,
'FOnce asyear docks and piers are turn
ed over to the rat catcher for a night.
The man who has made a fortune at
the business in New York still works
with his men, for the secret of the bust
ness Is his and he trusts it to no one.
Rats run everywhere, but reaches have
a special liking for rope lockers, and
here they swarm by tens Of thousands
unless the pier owners have a contract
with the rat and roach catcher. Who,
after a thorough ovcrtlauling, guaran-
tees freedom from the pests for a year.
Whenever an OCEAN liner reaches port,
whether on this side OF the other, it is
turned over for a night to this same
man. Cats do much toward keeping
ships clear of rats, but, of course, have
no effect Oh reaches. On this side Of
the Atlantic roach catching is the more
important branch of the business, while
on the other side wharfs are almost
| as full OF rat catchers as the ships a.e
Of rats.
These once worked with %ferrcts, but
now they use chemicals. Large cage
like traps are used. in which lettuce
leaves are placed after being sprink.el
with a liquid-only the catcher knows
what.
Whatever it is, it is as irresistible to
rats as the weird piping Of the pied
piper was to the rats Of Hame!in town.
No matter how choice the food in the
lockers and in the hold, the rats leave
it instantly when they smell the mys-
FERROUS liquid on the lettuce leaves. 1t
does not kill the rats, ana herein lies
another secret of the profits of the bust
ness. Live rats are worth money In
England, where they are used FOR train
Ing terriers. Dead rats are worth mon
ey, too, as their skins are. used for
gloves. At S or 6 cents apiece, forty or
fifty rats mean something, and this Is
quite a usual catch.
For reaches a powder is used, but
what puzzles all old sailors who used
to have the job Of clearing ships Of
reaches is that there are never any
dead ones lying around next morning.
The favorite way of the sailors when
they had to catch reaches was to put
q "cob' Of bread on top of a coil of
rope. Very quickly it would be covered
with hungry brown bugs, and these
they knocked into q well creased bis
cult pan. The grease kept the reaches
from crawling up the sides, and it was
q poor roach catcher who would not

CHURCH ENTERS ON
 NEW EPOCH THIS YEAR
PreIates' Names Are Not on List for the Reception of the President
 of France.

Paris, December 30-With the new year the Catholic church in France enters a new epoch. The first sign of the change is the list for the presidents reception which does not contain the names of any prelates.
 The great question now is what action the bishops will take at the meeting of cardinals Thursday which is the first to he held in a century. It is looked upon by the bishops as an attempt on the part of the cardinals to assume a sort of cabi- netship of the church.
 At meetings of bishops held for other purposes up to the present time it has been seen that the majority of them fa- vor peaceable acceptance of the principle of separation of church and state. The principal opponents to this are Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris Cardinal Perraud, archbishop of Autun; Cardinal Coulle, archbishop of Lyons; the Arch bishop of Cambrai. and the bishop of Arras and Quimpera and most of the Breton bishops, forming the conserva- tive element of the church. These hold that the law is a schismatic one and that the associations Will accomplish the objects of the framers of it by withdraw ing so far as possible the parish gov ernment from the hands of the clergy and the diocesean government from the hands of the bishops The concihation party, led by Cardinal Lecot, archbishop of Bordeaux and Cardinal Laboure, arch bishop of Rennes, maintains that resist ance will entail a religious war which would be the worst of evils in view of the indifference of the greater number of Catholics and in addition to which the population would not understand the ob- jects of the war. It is thought in the event of the two parties not agreeing that the French church will be formed on lines similar to the free church of Scotland by the dssidents.

DID NOT EXPLODE.
Steamship Laden With Dynamite
 Crashes Into Schooner.

Wilmington. Del, December 30.- Laden with dynamite, the steamship Pennsylvania, from New York for San Francisco via Philadelphia, crashed into the schooner Prescott Palmer to- day while the schooner was aground on Cherry Island Flats, in the Della ware river. The sharp prov of the steamer cut into the schooner's stern for thirty feet. That the Pennsyl- vania's cargo of dynamite did not ex- plode is regarded as little short of mir aculous. The damage to the schooner is estimated at $3000.
 Captain Carlisle of the schooner has filed libel against the owners of the steamer and the latter has been seized by United States Marshal Flynn.
