THE PADucAH WILL NOT COME

ABOVE CAIRO ON THE OHIO.

The coming Of the gunboat Padu.
cab to this port, or near here Is still
a question. The BOAT will come up
the Mississippi ami also the Ohio if
the trip can be made, but this is
yet to be settled. The stages of the
rivers and the ability of the boat
to pass under the Cairo bridge will
control the movements of the vessel.
Commander Griffin, OF the gunboat. is
now advising himself on these points.
In speaking of the boats intended

LEGACIES TO PETS
A STAFFORsHIRE CAT WHICH IN.
HERITED 10000.
A Chicago Sailor Made u VIII Lcav-
Ing His Dog $1,7OO--An Eccentric
Spinster OF Aberdeen Left Legacy
Of $4,000 for Dinners.

| A very wealthy lady residing In
fashionable suburb OF London,
after willing generous legacies to a
number OF charitable institutions,
set apart the sum OF eco a year for
the support OF handsome gray
pony, and an additional sum OF IS
year for the keeping OF grey
hound.
I A Chicago sailor, aged 10. has
made a will leaving his dog $l,7O0.
The money has been deposited with
trustees, who nave undertaken to ex-
ecute the peculiar provisions OF the
Will. He stipulates that II the dog
dies before he does the money, on
his death. will go to his sister in
England; but II he dies first the
money Is to be used for the support
OF the dog. The man gives as his
reason for making this will that
once while living in Chicago ne had
serious illness. and that his dog
proved the most faithful nurse.
An old maiden lady who died In
Staffordshire left her favorite nep-
hew and niece each cat and or
dered in her will the whole OF her
fortune, amounting to $4,000.
should be given to the che whose cat
survived the longest. 1t Is probable
that no cats were ever so carefully
tended as these. They were the OBJ
jects of the most constant solicitude.
But while the niece was out shop
ping one day her valuable pet stray
ed into the street and was worried
TO death by dog, SO the immense
fortune went to the nephew.
An eccentric old lady, a spinster
of Aberdeen, left legacy OF $4,000
to nephew, providing that ne have
q cat to dinner with him every New
Years Day" This had been a Gus
tom of the old lady herself for a
long period and she devoutly believ-
ed that 1t insured her good luck. AS
may be supposed the fortunate nep-
hew most readily accepted the eccen-
trio stipulation and the $4,000.
Romeo and Juliette are two OF
the most interesting personages In
Paris. Juliette Is the only daughter
and Romeo the favorite dog of an &c
centric but very wealthy widow lady
who died couple years ago. BY
her will Nine. Clery left her for
tune TO be invested in Government
bonds. the income derived therefrom
to be divided equally between her
little daughter and her bull terrier
Romeo. Romeo and Juliette, for
tunately are the greatest friends, the
dog Invariably taking his meals at
bis little mistress's table.
One lady left s200 year for the
comfort Of her parrot. Far more
extraordinary was the bequest OF an
Ohio gentleman who left money for
a cat inflrmary or sanatorium, which
was to have rat holes for sport and
ample grounds for exercise. The
same testator, wishing to give some
consolation to the feline race. whom
be supposed to supply the material
named catgut. left directions for his
intestnes to be made into fiddle
strings, and these to be sold. the pro-
ceeds to be used for the purchase of
an accordion, which one of the
nurses at this at infirmary was to
play continually for the delectation
of the cats.-Tit Bits.
