Kittens Are TaiIIess.

From the New York Herald.
 All the residents of Seventeenth ave nue, in the neighborhood of Sixty-ninth street, Bath Beach, are talking of the two tailless kittens that were born on Wednesday night to Fudge, Maltese cat owned by Mrs. M. F. Shoemaker of No. 6gl6 Seventeenth avenue. All Thursday and yesterday persons living in the block, as well as many from a distance, called at Mrs. Sehoemaker's home to look at the kittens.
 Fudge. the mother, is almost tailless herself She was one of litter of four. The other kittens all had tails of nor maj lengths, but Fudge had little stump that grew to be only an inch in length
 About a year ago Fudge became mother for the first time, but all the kittens had long tails. The father of the two born Wedne stay, it is known, is tailless, so Mrs. Shoemaker was not surprised that the kittens are without tails.
 Both kittens are pure Maltese and will look like their mother when they grow up, with the exception that while she can boast of a tail one inch long they will have none at all.
 Aside from a family of tailless cats, Mrs. Shoemaker also has a eat that has one eye, a deep blue, while the other is a bright yellow. This cat is Snowball. so called because of her white fur When Snowball gave birth to three kittens recently everybody in the neighborhood waited anNious!y un- til their eyes were opened to see if the kittens took after their mother. It was found that two of the kittens mad yellow eyes. while the third had blue eyes. There was no difference in the shade of the eyes of any kitten.
 While Mrs. Shoemaker is not desir- ous of having large family of cats, she does not intend to part with either of Fudges offspring, although she has received numerous requests for one of the kittens.

Mental Medicine.

From the New York Times.
 A somewhat eccentric physician who recently died would order patients to take walks, say, daily, on the left side of the street, returning by the other side; another he would order to arise each morning at a certain hour and eat cheese with ginger beer another to take supper precisely at midnight, and eat only applcs; Jr he would instruct the patient to put just so many grains of salt on the egg he was to eat, and part his hair in a different way each day. His object was to get the mind of the patient on something else than symptoms, and this scheme worked well in many cases, especially when the patient was suffering from melan- chOlin

 "rhe governor considers the result a victory.
 "First the righteousness of the cause, the determination of the people through their officers no longer to submit to the oppression of the railroads or the inter- ference of the federal courts.

Officials of the c. G.. & l.. are max
ing preparations TO reduce the run
ming schedule between Cincinnati and
Chicago on through trains to eight
hours, and it is thought this Will be
done when the next change in time
tables is made. The improvements on
the north end of the line, which con-
sist mainly of ballasting the new road
bed, will be rushed to completion in
order that the new schedule may be
installed. 1t is not known definitely,
but it is hoped by G. G. & l.. employees
that more day trains both north and
south will be installed. 1t is said that
if the C.. C. & l.. wishes to compete
with the Pennsylvania, the road will
have to arrange its schedule of local
trains so that more will be run during
the day. The morning and evening
trains are all that are provided for
Richmond travellers at present.
Agents all along the G. G. & l.. line,
and particularly those north of Rich

road has picked up wonderfully since

The conductors. ticket agents and all

getting their duties systematized to a
good degree of accuracy. The conduc-
tors still have their troubles, however,
and particularly is this true in the
cash paid half-fare business. The
commuters of the new ticket rates I'M
der the law probably did not take into
consideration the fact that half fares
would continue TO be granted at the
same old stand and as the result when
a cash half fare is paid on the trains
the conductors have to do quite good
deal of figuring before they can ascer-
tain the proper amounts to be charged
including the proper excess. 1t is prob

WANT MORE LENIENCY.

Owing to the fact that the Interstate
Commerce Commission is rigidly en-
forcing the safety appliance law in
regard to freight cars, many of the
railroads of the country, 1t is said. will
ask the commission to not be so
strict. at least until the roads can get
the great amount of freight through

use, particularly on the western
