THE WAR OFFICE CAT.

A matter of momentous concern has just come before the army council the future existence of the black cat of the War Office.
 It appears that the great transfer of the War Office staff from Pal Mail to Whitehall has caused anxiety as to the fate of the several cats which have made their home at this govern ment office. The black eat is the most famous of these, having had the en- tree to the secretary of states room on more than one occasion.
 Recently the manageress of home for lost and straying cats wrote a formal letter to the council offering to harbor the black cat and promis- ing to send special van to Pail Mall to convey it to the home.
 The council, however, after due de- liberation decided to keep the black cat on the War Office strength and tc transfer the animal to the new build ings in Whitehall-London Mail.

sso, 900 AUCTION HELD.
Tools and Machinery of W. s. Burns
 Company Sell Rapidly.


 The tools and machinery belonging to the W. s. Burns Manufacturing company on Blatchley avenue were sold at public auction yesterday by or der of the trustees and the trustees agent, ex-Alderman Felix Chilling worth. The auction was attended by not less than 300 persons, who came from Baltimore, Maine, New England and New York. The articles sold brought f1rst-class prices, number of the machines beinf sold at premium, because the dema4d for first-class ma chimes in the market is more than can be supplied, and many of the machines sold could not be duplicated by mant- facturers in less than six months time. The competition was therefore sharp and good prices obtained.
 J. E. Conant, of Lowell, Mass, the auctioneer, sold 575 lots of tools and machinery in five and one-half hours, an unprecedented amount for so short a time Everything was sold by S:SO o'clock. The aggregate amount Of the sales was between $2O,O0O and $30,OOO.
 The Burns Manufacturing company moved here about two years ago from New Jersey and began the manutact- ure of brass metal goods in the old Housatonic plant on Cedar Hill. About six months ago work at the factory was suspended, as the concern was not paying, and on November 2 Governor Woodruff was appointed trustee of it's affairs by the superior court of this county

 The appointment of MT. James Bryce to the embassy of Great Britain has led to much writing and talking; but there is more than one issue arising out of it which may deserve further consideration.

TO BREAK INTO SOCIETY,".
One Must Be Able to Contribute to
the General Gayety.

Some one has said that to get into
London society you must feed people.
amuse people or shock people. In
New York, according to Good House
keeping, you must at least attract
their attention.
Having once attracted their atten.
ton you must make It evident, IL you
are an outsider, that you have some
thing to bring: Beauty, If 1t is con-
spicuous enough; brains, II they are
coined into the small change of so-
cial intercourse; money, II you know
how to use 1t. .
It is not enough to be well born,
well bred, well OF, well dressed, well
educated. Not a block of the resi-
Dental parts Of New York but is
filled with people who arc all of these!
There is another requirement in or:
der to be desirable socially, namely,
to have something to contribute to
the general gayety. Men have
grasped this fact in business. A man
does not go and ask another for a
job on the ground that there is moth
ing against him. But women seem
to feel that al absence of any dis
qualification should set them in So
ciety at once. 0

the hat pins and and dragged the hat

with their feet. This act, however.
was too late to ave her from the in.

e%nveloped her face and head with his
