CATS MAY BE MUzzLED.
Some of Them Arc Contracting the
 Rabies at WilIimantic.


 Willimantic. Feb. 14.-A disease that resembles rabies in dogs has been dtscovered in several of the cats In this city. The disease affects the cats In the same manner as 1t does dogs. They go about on wild run With eyes wild and roaming, jaws hanging down, and apparently have the same desire for water as some dogs that have recently been killed here, having what was thought to be dumb rabies. An opportunity for a comparison of the disease in dogs and cats has been given J. c. Lincoln.
 some time ago valuable English setter dog of his came down with what physicians claimed to have been dumb rabies. The dogs lower jaw and tongue were paralyzed and he had desire to drink water. To put the animal out of it's misery 1t was chloroformed. Yesterday a female cat of MT Lincoln's household was seen to be acting in a strange man ner as If sick. Its eyes looked wild, It's lower jaw appeared to hang low and 1t had desire for water, and symptoms were so much like those of the dog that was killed that MT Lincoln decided to put the cat out of the way and 1t was killed. It is not known how the disease was con- tracted.

QUEER PLACE FOR A T0oTl.
Surgeon Removes Ono from Maa's
 Nose.

Hartford, Feb 14-A singular sur. gical operation was performed tho other day, the occasion for which waa discovered by the merest accident. \ citizen whose name is not necessnry to give interest to the story had beon ailing with light attack of the grip, and as 1t not an unusual circum- stance where that trouble prevaiIs. his hearing had been deadened almost to deafness. He called his doctor who gave him remedies for the grip but advised him to consult q specialist whom he named for the ear trouble, This doctor succeeded in "blowing' one ear out, the hearing becoming nor nal at once. The other was more persistent and was left temporarily while he attended to slight stop page in the left nostril. There seemed to be hard substance and the doctor worked about 1t several seconds-a month the patient thought from the pain he experienced. Finally forceps were brought into play and good sized tooth was pulled out! It must in some way have been turned from it's regular course years ago and pene- trated the nasal organ.

SPECTACLE CROOKS
Take Big Bunch of Money Away
 From Bristol.

DHS DuucH OI WOuey away
 From Bristol.
 Bristol, Feb 14.-About once in so often during the past ten years a gang of what the police call .specta- Gle crooks" operate in town and sue ceed in swindling number of peo- pie. Two of the fellows landed in town the other day and hired sleigh at Hubbell & Williams's livery stable, ostensibly for some business trip. Then they went to the village three miles north of the center called Edgewood and from all that can be learned carried away bunch of money Chief Belden was notified yesterday of a resident of that sec ton of the town who was swindled out of $9, and how many more there are he does not know. The way the swindlers work the game is unusual ly brazen. In one case the pair, for there were two of them, went into the back door of woman's house and walking up to the woman took on her spectacles and started to show her how they were not right. The woman finally drove the man from the house, but later he tried the same operation on another woman and this time succeeded talking her into the idea that she ought to have new pair of glasses, instead of the good ones she had and left her $3 poorer than when they landed.

GRIP CLOSES COLLEGE.
Epidemic in the Seminary of St John
 the Baptist in Brooklyn.

New York, Feb 14.-Bishop Me- Donnell of the Brooklyn Catholic dio- cese has closed temporarily the Semi- nary of St John the Baptist, at Lewis avenue and Hart street, because of an epidemic of grip and stomach ail- ments among the forty seminarians and teachers and 1t will not be re- opened until February "A. The epi- demic mad laid up more than half of the inmates.
 The Rev John w. Moore, president of the seminary, was removed to St Mary's hospital suffering from an acute attack of dysentery. The semi- narians have all been sent to their homes. A student, Lawrence P. Doyle, died on Sunday at his nome, 362 Union street, after five days illness.
 Father Burns, a member of the faculty. said: "So many students have been i'll with the grip that 1t was thought best to close the college for short time. We have no hos pital accommodations in the college and 1t was thought best to have the students so to their homes."

Miss Adler of New Haven Wins With
 HOmebred.
 New York, Feb 14.-Connecticut dogs were to the fore again yester- day at the show in Madison Square garden and Dr Knox of Danbury made as clean sweep with his blood hounds as the Valley Farm kennels did with Russian wolfhounds on the opening day. There was a splendid attendance to see the bloodhounds yesterday morning, which were judged by Colonel Roger D. Williams. Dr Knox's Koran won the blue rib- bon in the class for puppies, dogs and bitches, P. Carter of Meriden won reserve with Gretchen. In the limit for dogs, Dr Knox's Magician was first, beating Manning Cleye- lands Black Prince, which attracted considerable attention at the Hartford show. Magician also won first in the open class for dogs and was first in the class for winners. Tn the novice for bitches, KnOx's Koran was first and Gretchen was second.
 In the limit class for bitches, knox's Krestrel. by Prince Leo and Betsey Bobbit, got a blue and Knox's Koran was in the open class for bitches, Dr Knox swept the boards with Knox's klik0, Lady Knapp and Knox's Koran. Knox's Kliko was the first in the winners class for bitches. Magician and Knox's Kliko won in the brace class and in the team class the winners were Magician, Knox's KlikO, Kn0x's Koran and Knox's Kestrel.
 J. Blackburn Miller judged the Great Danes.( c. F. Eggert of New York and the DalmOre kennels of Port Alleghany, Pa, were the principal winners. There were not as many St Bernards of the rough variety as us- ual owing to the death of Miss Anna Marks of Sount Beach, Conn. There was considerable criticism of the judging in the bulldog classes. Miss de Grott's Mahomet won first. Rich ard CrOker, jr,s Broadway was given second prize. Mrs George J. Gould's Heath Baronet, which cost 5000 in England and which defeated Broad way at Danbury, was overlooked. Ma homet won in the winners class and Broadway was the reserve. In the junior class for hOmebred dogs in- cluding Canada, Miss Alma B. Alder of New Haven won with Elm City Wrinkles.
 The Old English sheepdogs, the bobtnils, from the estate of the late James A. Garland, were as success full here as they were at the Hartford show. They won in winners for dogs with Ringlow's Sutton and in the same class for bitches with Champion Dolly Gray. Both were in grand coat and could not have been brought lnte the ring in more perfect fettle.

Chicken Worth More Than Child.

New Britain, Feb 14.-In this state a chickens life is worth moro than child's in the eyes of law made by the legislators. The claims committee of the council gave hear ing last night to Thomas Clerkin on the claim for damages against tho city on account of the death of his child which was bitten by a dog. Corporation Counsel Hungerford read the law to MT Clerkin. showing that he had no claim against the city. If a chicken, sheep, or calf. is slaughtered by dogs, the farmers get a bounty for their dogs, but if a man loses child. his only recourse is to the owner of the dog. The commit. tee voted to give him leave to with- draw.
