Cat That Ate cueumber8.

A cat that ate cucumbers and
squashes has just been dispatched
in the town of Wells and, so far as
known, there is not another like 1t
in York county.
The animal had been living on
Elm Farm, which is owned by Mrs
vesta E. Hammond, and for some time
the people living near the place have
been troubled by some animal eating
into the cucumbers that were left and
the squashes were faring about as
badly.
It was a long time before 1t was
discovered what was doing the mis-
chief. The cucumbers and squashes
were harvested and 1t was thought
that they would be all right in the
barn.
One day Charles Graves, the hired
man, went into the barn rather
quickly and there found the cat eat
ing away on a ripe cucumber. 1t had
already put one of the squashes out
of business so far as It's ever being
made into pies was concentrations

Cat Amuses the Baby.

A cat in the household Of William
Jamison shows unusual attention to
the baby Of the family and faithfully
lays at the child's feet every mouse
she catches.
The other day she captured a rat.
which she did not kill before she
brought it to the child, and allowed
the rodent to scamper away several
times, recapturing 1t each time as
though to impress the baby with her
skill. Members of the family in the
adjoining room heard the sounds of
the baby's glee and Investigated, dis
covering what was going on.-Indian-

for the gray kitten and said she in
tended to ask to be allowed to keep
1t.
The next day when mother cat
came for her bits only one kitten ac-
companied her, but she took away
some choice morsels for the one left
at home. This continued several days,
when the woman who had at first ex-
pressed intention to get the kitten
which the cat was feeding remarked
that she had given up wholly the
idea Of securing the gray kitten. All
three felines appeared at the next
meal and have done so since.-Bos-

LIKELY TO CHOOSE
ANOTHER SPEAKER
Democrats Object to Firth on Ac-
count of His RecOrd-NeW
Caucus Talked Of.

NEWARK, Dec. 15:-Although Jo-
| seph H. Firth, the Warren county
. assemblyman, has been named by
the democratic caucus for speaker
of the next house, it is more than
possible that he will not WELD the
gayel.
1t is said, on good authority, that
steps have already been taken to re-
quest Abram Klenert, of Passaic,
who was chosen leader of the major
ity, TO call another caucus. If he
does not comply with the request, 1t
is asserted that sixteen of the thirty
one democrats will issue a call. In
the menatime Firth will be asked to
withdraw.
At least three men from Essex,
said to be Daniel j. Brady, Edgar
Z. %Lethbridge and Edward H. Wright,
Jr., are said to be ready to pjoin with
Hudson's twelve men and Powelski,
of Passaic, to overthrow the action
taken at the caucus in Trenton last
Tuesday.
Since it was called to mind that
Firth had pleaded guilty to an in
dietment charging him with having
kept a disorderly house, and had paid
a fine of $500, sentiment that had
been strong for him was turn
ed decidedly against his selection.
Even some of the Essex assembly
men who were whipped into line for
Firth by former Senator James
Smith, Jr., and his chief lieutenant,
James r. Nugent, have declared since
the caucus that they would not have
supported Firth had they been aware
of his record.
A conference of the twelve from
Hudson was held last night in Jersey
City, and it is asserted thai Alexand-
der leads a fight to get his colleagues
to bolt Firth. Alexander is not with
out supporters, and the feeling is, SO
intense that something may come of
the meeting.
The upshot of the situation will
probably be that another caucus will
be held and a new candidate for
speaker chosen.

PITNEY TO RETIRE

NEWARK, Dec. SIT was said in
Newark yesterday that Vice Chan
cellor Henry G. Pitney, who will be

spring. The bench and bar are ar
ranging a dinner in honor of the ven
cradle jurist, to take place on the
evening of his birthday in the Wal
dorf-Astoria in New York,
Mr.. Pitney's prospective resigna.
ton will lend added interest to the
dinner, which, while it had its in
ception in Newark, will be under the
auspices of the bench and bar of the
state.
Mr.. Pitney is now serving his third
term as vice chancellor. He was APP
pointed in 1889 by Chancellor Nc.

cellor Magic to succeed himself, and

ART EXHIBIT ENDS.
Affair in Presbyterian Chapel Was
a Great Success. /,

The art and loan exhibit attracted
another large crowd last night and
until late in. the evening the Pres
byterian chapel was crowded with
people. AS last night was the close
of the exhibit the doors were opened
earlier than usual to accommodate
the patrons. The rare and beautiful
works of art and the numerous curios
excited much admiration. AS yet the
result financially is unknown, but
the amount, it is thought, will be con-
siderable. Today the curios and pic
lures are being removed from the
chapel. The committees in charge
have announced that they extend
their warmest thanks to all who aided
in making the exhibit a success, also
to all those who SO generously loaned
articles.
