PLAN TO STOP CATS
MIDNIGHT OPERA
Commissioners Issue Edict Ordering
All Felines Running at Large
Be Impounded.

The species Of cat that takes delight
in ensconcing itself upon the back fence
at undesirable hours and serenading
would-be sIsepers Is doomed. The
habitue Of the alley has incurred the
dispIeasure OF the Commissioners, and
as all other offenders who arouse the ire
OF the District officials, his punishment
will be swift and terrible.
An edict issued at the District Build
ing yesterday provides that all stray
cats hereafter found roaming at. large
will be impounded and put to death. The
unfortunate feline must in the future
be confined to the premises OF its owner,
or, should its mistress deem II neces-
sary to take it for an airing, 1t must be
held in leash. The law for the impound-
ing OF dogs provides that the animal
may be recovered upon payment by the
owner Of s., but no such leniency is ex-
tended to the cat.
Nine cats have been impounded since
July l last year, the Commissioners say,
and each Of the pets is accused OF
being afflicted with rabies. They also
were accused of biting eleven persons
1t is to prevent a spread Of the dread
disease, the officials declare, that the
amendment to the police regulations is
made.
The term running at large" is held
by the authorities TO have the same
meaning as in the proclamation relating
to the muzzling Of dogs.
This is not the first proposition to
place a tax on cats. Such a measure
was under consideration by the Board
OF Commissioners several years ago, but
1t met with serious opposition by the
Washington Cat Club, Of which Mrs.
Henry l. West, wife Of former Com
missioner West. was president. No ac-
tion was taken at that time.

HAS CURIOUS EXISTENCE.
FeebIe-minded Millionaire Lives
Life of Twenty-Five Years Ago.

New York. June l3.-Lving in the past
oblivious to all that pertains to the pres
ent. not knowing that he is a millionaire
and that $1,000 of the income from his
money is being spent on him monthly.
Samuel B. Haslett. the Brooklyn re-
cluse. seventy-eight years old, is spend
ing an old age that is a marvel to Sc
renity.
Three months ago Mr.. Hsslett was
found lying Ill amid sqUalor in his REM
sen Street mansion, with half a dozen
lawyers fighting for control of his
wealth. The shattering of a romance in
days gone had left him an outcast,
though a millionaire, mentally dead. The
courts took charge Of his affairs. straight
ened them out and ordered 81 900 a month
spent on his maintenance.
Why he should now be so happy was
a mystery until this week, when it was
discovered that he has lost all con-
sciousness Of the sordid chapter Of his
life, and that he imagines himself a man
OF fifty, a man OF leisure OF twenty-five
years ago. He spends practically all his
time among his old books and knows
no friends but those OF twenty-five years
ago. He never reads newspapers and
knows nothing OF modern topics. Efforts

For the woman who does not care
for the combination garments the chem
ise with fitted back should prove sat
isfactory. The garment Is cut with a
small inverted plat just below the
waist line, which makes 1t ft snugly
about the waist.
Very dainty, II not quite practicable,
are the night gowns Of white pink or
blue crepe de chine, trimmed with Nor
mandy val about the Jokes and sleeves.
Cotton crepe Is gaining In favor for
lingerie, and especially for gowns, be-
cause Of the ease with which 1t may be
Numbered.
A clever way to make the popular
combination garments, 80 that the com
bination may be severed II one desires,
is to finish the top Of the drawers and
the bottom Of the corset cover with
separate bands Of beading One rib
bon may be run through them both, so
that either garment may be changed
very easily.
There is little change In the corsets

very supple, very long and medium low
in the bust
To be perfectly corseted these days
one must appear TO be as guiltless OF
stays as q school girl. The ugly hip
line OF the old models has been elimi-
mated by snug, smooth skirts Of the
fabric, and the bust line may now be
concealed by the almost Indispensable
brassitre.
A style Of corset that Is steadily
gaining IN favor IS what is called the
topless corset, which extends only two
inches to three inches above the waist
This model IS particularly desirable for
the woman Of 1lender build, or for one
who IS athletlcally inclined, and when
worn with a we'll fitted brassiere gives
great freedom Of movement

A novel negligee seen In one Of the
shops owed its original style to the
very wide, pointed revers that turned
back from the opening at the throat on
one side only, and extended below the
waist, where the narrow point was fin
ished with long tassel The left edge
OF the garment was simply stitched, as
was the bottom Of the sleeves and the
skirt, and was brought over to the side
to fasten with two large buttons, just
beneath the tasseled end Of the revers.
Undersleeves Of material matching this
rever completed the attractive little
