MEANING OF THE VOTE.

Rather than face an extraordinary
tax levy this year. the taxpayers of
Salt Lake have voted for bond issue
of 100000 TO be used for public i'm
provements now in course of construc-
ton or in contemplation. The effort to
make 1t a political issue failed, as il
should have failed, and the result was
decided solely on the business consid-
erations involved. In no sense was the
decision vote # confidence in the city
administration, since great many
who have no confidence in the council

in the mayor. but they have had no oc-

GREAT MEN AND THEIR CATS.

The cat. although the target for mis-
chievous boys and hooligans, has been a
general favorite from time immemorial.
In Egyptian writings 1000 years ago il
is mentioned. Famous men in all ages
have had their cats. Montague. Richie
lieu. DR.. Johnson with Hodge" who
used to cause Boswell a certain amount
of uneasiness when visiting the doctor in
Colt court. and the late Robert Stephen
Hawker, the poet vicar of Morwenstow,
all had and loved the cat.
Francois Coppee. who died recently had
at one time legion of cats and kittens.
but. as he grew older he declined to
replace those who died. and at his dean
he possessed but Isabelle and her daugh-
tiers. Both have been famous hunters OF
sparrows in their home, but Isabelle is
now past sport.
The family of COppee has made provis-
ion for his two feline friends, and they
have been sent to the cottage of an old
servant, where, we learn. the poet
nephew occasionally visits them and, with
Isabelle, watches the younger cat exer-
cising her prOwess with the sparrows.

AT the Players club in New York a
prompter said of the late Peter Daley:

his enlisted men and associate Of
ficers, are cited as the cause of the
displeasure of the war department off,
cials and of the president toward Col.
Stewart.
The officials do not disguise their wish
to get him out of the army, yet they
admit that the end could not be at
tained through court-martial So
they have adopted the plan assigning
him to duty where there is no duty
and in the most unpleasant surround
ings to be found.
Col. Stewart is determined to serve
his full time in the active service, of
which he has three years remaining.
He, therefore, has avoided commit
ting any breach of regulations. When
ordered to the abandoned post at Fort
Grant, Ariz., he obeyed and immolat-
ed himself in the desert.
When ordered to the other aban-
doned post at St. Augustine, Fla,
thither he went. He was then ordered
back to Fort Grant.
Senator Rayner has looked up the
precedents and finds that the case
presents violations of American. law
unparalleled in time of peace.
