In Defense of Cats.

Is it a fact that the cat Is an enc
my of birds and other animals to
such an extent that we could be bet
ter OFF without the cat than without
the creatures he destroys? without
census it is impossible to decide
this question. but we have no doubt
that il put TO vote all the rats and
mice in the world would vote that the
cats should so. II seems that here
Is another case where 1t Is not pru-
dent TO indulge in too wide generali-
cations. There are cats and cats.
Some people, and we do not refer to
the female sex unmarried only. be-
stow an amount of affection on cats
which if worthily bestowed on some
human being of the opposite sex
would greatly add to the JOY of the
world. Some people do not like cats
in general or particular, but in this
country the principle OF the greatest
good to the greatest number applies.
and on vote by human beings the
cat would probably win.-The Phila.

September. Naturally, the question
of sanatoria Is among the first that
challenges consideration. Following
the lead of the German authorities
the tendency in many sections OF this
country has been to erect and equip
sanatorla for the treatment of incip-
lent and hopeful cases. and the claims
of the advanced, cases have fallen
most often on ears that were deaf

ties; so 1t comes as q matter of course
that one of the large prizes, a cash
prize OF $1,000. is offered for the best
exhibit of sanatorium for advanced
pulmonary cases. while another thou
sand dollar prize will be awarded to
the best exhibit. of an existing sana-
forum for the treatment of incipient
cases. A third thousand dollars will
be given to the dispensary, or kindred
institution for the tuberculosis poor,
which makes the best showing.
In the list of prizes the attention
is about equally divided between mea

ers from the white Plague" and
those concerned primarily with the
prevention of the disease. 1t has
taken n long time. for civilized peoples

the hands OF Edward f. Baker, the
dead mans brother.
This letter was picked up by a Bos-
ton man while aboard n train bound
for New York ON the day Baker was
buried. How the letter came to be
In the car is n mystery. but It is be-
lieved that 1t was accidentally lost.
The missive purports to have been
written by Baker few days before
his death. 1t Is addressed to a woman
and practically charges her with Civ
ing him dose of poison or some other
injurious substance while lie was sit
ting at table with her. Baker says
that while his head was turned to
observe two women who were pass
ing she put the dose in his glass.
The evident intention Of the writer
was merely to inform the woman that
he md detected her attempt. He also
expresses his intention in the letter
OF cutting loose from his old associ-
ates and of returning to his brother
in Boston. having become tired, as he
expresses 1t. OF having "his leg pulled"
by those who pretended 10 be- his
friends
This intention of Baker to leave
New York and his gay friends there.
and return to Boston Is corroborated
by New York attorney, Victor Hum
gerford. A few days before his i'll
ness he met Hungerford in New York.
and told him that his brother had
been importuning him to cut loose
from his friends. He told Hunger
ford he was going back TO Boston the
following week, saying that ne had
been too easy with his money for the
pleasure of others.
