BERLIN, November 25.-The dressed
and prepared skins OF about fifty cats
were laid out for Identification by their
former owners in the Darmstadt court
the othsr day. The case was one in which
the noted sportsman, Count Solms-Lau-
bach, figured as defendant on charge of
causing the untimely end of the domestic
pets OF the neighborhood.
Count Solms-Laubach kept several
tanned vtIltures and other birds of prey
IN his home. and was in the habit of re-
leasing them from their cages and al
lowing them the free run OF his garden.
Finding, however, that frequent conflicts
ensued between his pets and the cats of
the neighborhood, he swore vengeance,
and, in addition to shooting any cat at
sight, laid spring traps and other pitfalls
for unwary pussies.

Il am in favor of any good man who

Champ Clark or Oscar w. Underwood

responsible for the highly cred;table and
successful work of the democrats in

done more to establish the party in the
good opinion of the public than any
other thing has done or could have done.
These gentlemen have shown great de-
votion to the public interest, great con-
scientiousness and sincerity in adher-
ence to democratic progressive prin-
ciples. great Judgment and moderation
in recommendation and action.
