different routes leading from the bridge
toward the top Of Mckee's hill, which
were to be submitted to the owners,
Colonel George A. Elliott and Alfred l..
DUPONT, and one Of the routes was to be
selected for the bridge abuttment and
approach. So far however. Alr. Wilson
has not heard from Mr.. Mack on this
matter.
The Levy Court cannot improve the
bridge, It was stated, until they know
which way the road is to be built. as
they must first know where the ap.
proach will lead before it can be built

cord crossing, over the b. Il @. bridge,
Is progressing rapidly The railroad

Mother CAT KIDNAPS
FOR LOVE OF KITTENS
Four FelineS Once, Eleven
Now, and More May Be

LOVES STABLE A
FELINE NURSERY

Did you ever hear of a cat attempt
ing TO raise family of eleven kit
tens? G. j. Lowe, a clerk in the Of
nces of the Delaware Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. has such an
animal, and the worst part about it
IS that every morning Mr. Lowe finds
there has been another addition to
his family of rat catchers. He has
offered to give cats to all his friends
and one day last week succeeded in
disposing of one OF the felines. The
next morning he found two more
Kittens In its place and has given up
the job in despair
Mr.. Lowe acquired the mother Of
some Of the kittens sometime ago
upon the advice that she was a cham
pion rat catcher. He made a bed for
the cat in his stable in the vicinity
of Thirteenth and Orange streets, fed
her with milk every morning and
otherwise tried to make the cats stay
as pleasant as possible. About a
week and half ago when he went
to give pussy" her milk, Mr.. Lowe
was surprised to find a family Of four
kittens crying pitifully to be fed. With
visions of having a rat proof stable
In few more weeks, Mr. Lowe pro-
cured more milk. The next morning
when he went to feed the kittens he
found FIVE Of them He thought he
had made a mistake in counting, but
when he discovered six the next
morning he was decidedly puzzled by
the condition The next morning he
found seven kittens and so the family
has been growing day by day. There
were black kittens, yellow kittens,
spotted kittens and one of the mall
tese variety. He wondered where
the cats We're coming from but final
~ saw the mother come through the
yard one evening with a little yellow
kitten in her mouth. Evidently she
had been stealing the children Of her
best friends and was so pleased with
her four little ones that she wanted
more.
Last night one of the mothers who
evidently had her kitten kidnapped
aseended to the loft of the stable. A
sharp battle must have ensued, for
Mr.. Lowe was awakened by sounds Of
a terrific scratching coming from his
stable. Howls of rage and pain con-
tinued for almost half an hour and,
unable to sleep, Mr. Lowe looked out
of his window just in time to see a
black streak pass over his yard and
vanish into the darkness. He had
hopes that 1t was his rat catcher but
this morning he found his cat in the
stable loft in a badly scratched con-
dition but with another kitten.

HIGHER INTEREST
OBTAINED ABROAD
BY The United Press.


NEW YORK, June 2O.-The crest
of the greatest gold movement in re-
cent years was believed to have been
reached today when gold exports
from the United States to Europe
since January reached an approx
innate total of S75,OOO,00O. The last
Of an unprecedented government con
signment Of S43,OO0OO0 In gold was
placed today in the New York sub
treasury New York bankers were
notified that beginning Monday s5,-
100000 Of this s43,O00,O00 will be
available daily
The shipment OF $4,000 900 in gold
abroad has been in the shape of bars
or bricks the standard size of which
Is about the size Of a building brick.
Stacked end to end these bricks
Of pure gold would make two piles,
each as high as the 750-foot Wool
worth Building, with enough bricks
remaining to make a third pile 250
feet high
Several reasons are given for the
vast shipment of gold to Europe, ac-
cording to Wall street fnanciers.
They say money has been cheap" in
America, so they sent It abroad where
they could get a higher rate Of inter
est. Much of the gold Is sent abroad,
it is said, to pay the difference be-
tween the exports and imports, the
latter being larger than the exports.
No small percentage is being sent
abroad to honor checks of Americans
who are spending the summer on the
other side, and another portion goes
to buy back American securities pur-
chased abroad.
The flood of government gold which
was poured into the local sub-treas-
ury, and the lowering of the rate Of
exchange abroad, it was believed
here today, would end the golden
flow toward Europe.
OF the s43,000,000, which the gov
ernment sent here this week, one
consignment alone amounted to $685.
100000.
This came from the sub-treasury at
Denver and set a high record for a
single shipment. The next largest sim
gle consignment of government gold was
from San Francisco in 1854, when
S2O,000,000 was shipped by mail train.
BY an arrangement negotiated with
the United States Express Company in
1904, that organization was in charge
Of the S43,000,0O0 consignment For
moving the gold here the United States

S5OO00.
