GETS CAT
HIGH UP IN, TREE
AsGR0WD CHEERS
When Woman, Owner of the
Feline, Fails the Lad Turns
the Trick.

A white cat in the top of a tree in
front of the home of Cyrus c. Corby, in
Orange road. Montclair, yesterday
afternoon, was the cause of great con-
.sternation to some and a matter of
great amusement to others. The cat
was high up In The tree, being at least
fifty feet above the sidewalk.
Two women who owned the cat had
used every means at their command to
induce the cat to get down off the tree.
Their efforts. however, seemed to drive
the feline higher Up. Mr.. Corby was
called upon for assistance, and he pro-
cured a ladder and placed it against the
tree. He climbed to the top of the
ladder, and from that vantage ground
tried his persuasive powers on puss,
but without avail. Mr.. Corby retired
from the chase and went into his house.
One of the women owners of the cat.
in despair, climbed UP the ladder and
into the tree, but the farther up she
climbed the tree the higher up went the
cat. BY this time a crowd of about
three hundred men. women and chill
dren had collected, and the young
woman in the tree was given con-
siderable advice from the onlookers, all
of which she refused to put In prac-
Use.
Come down out of de tree and I'll
get the cat" aid a small voice. The
woman came down. and Willie Thomp-
son, the owner of the voice. climbed the
ladder, h the tree, and finally reach
ed the high branches where puss had
sat for nearly an hour surveying the
scene. When Willie reached out for the
cat the latter stepped out onto a
! smaller limb. out of Willie's reach.
"Shake her down." came from voices
on the street, but above the din could
be heard the shrill voices of the two
| women to ''let the cat alone"
Willie. knowing where his fees were
| coming from for the job, took h latter
| advice. He then sat down between the
| fork of two branches. pulled his spin
ming top out of his pocket and. taking
| off the %''snover," commenced to shake
the string. Puss gradually came OVER
to play with it, and Willie caught her
| Then the crowd cheered. Climbing
down to the ground. he placed the

mistress. One of the women handed
| Willie a silver coin and both women
kissed him.

DOGS MUSTNOT BOW WOW, CATSMEOW
OR COCKS CROW FROM 10 Pm. TO6A. M.

w ILLAGE TRL TEE ROWLAND
" D. PERRINE. who has been
dubbed 1.-The crank reformer
of South Oraf Sc" by his col
leagues, would have his home village
in total quietness at night if he had his
way. His latest ordinance, which was
introduced at a meeting last night, but
laid over, provides that between 10
p. IN. and 6 a. m. it is a violation of
law for property-owners or residents to
allow their dogs to bark, cocks to crow,
or even tolerate with the walls of
proving cats.
Previous to the meeting of the board
a caucus was held, and it is said that
an even more drastic MEASURE was to
have been presented by Mr.. Perrine at
the meeting, which would provide for
prohibiting the ringing of church bells
between those hours of slumber. This,
it is said, caused a dispute between
Perrrine and Randolph Rodman, an
other trustee, and, it is said, the latter
told Perrine that he ought to go
over the Orange Mountains ten miles
and live where nothing or no one would
be but himself.
Mr.. Perrine has introduced several
new ideas with much originality into
South Orange since he became a trus-
tee two years ago, and his retirement
from the village board May / will be
missed for that reason.

of the marriage of Miss Helen @.

known among the young people Of that
city and Newark.
The ceremony was performed five
months ago in the rectory of st.
Peters Protestant Episcopal Church,

Stephen G. Roach. At that time the
brides mother was very i'll, suffering
from nervous prostration, and the
couple deemed 1t wise to keep their
wedding secret until such time as Mrs.
Hampson was strong enough to meet
the surprise.
She was told the latter part of last
week and received the news in the
calmest sort of manner, saying that
while she had not exactly looked for
a wedding announcement she had been
able to see that there was more than
friendship between the young people.
