SHIP'S CAT REFUSES TO SAIL Heuben, a Monater Yellow Tom. Deaerta Vessel and Crow la Superstitious. Bangor.—Something new In sen auperutltion is juat now engaging the attention of the Giand Banka Hah ermen who sail from Bucksport and Bangor. The facts are plain as day. but whether they mean good luck or hart no one baa as yet been able to decide. The sum and substance of It all is that Reuben, the monster white andyellow tomcat of the Bangor Grand Banker Lizzie Griffin has deserted — mutinied, in fact. He was born of a seafaring mother on board the schooner four years ago, and has sailed on her every season Mnce, Including herring trips to , oundland. But till:' spring, alter a visit at the warehouse of the vessel's owners in Bangor, he manifested a strong aversion to the sea and declined to go to Bucksport Hi join the vessel. Captain Anderson hud no idea of losing his pet and mascot, and so Reuben was put into a covered market basket and taken to Bucksport a prisoner. Once on Injard the vessel, however. 1 ■ glared savagely about, alow and aloft, and then made a flying leap to •*>e plot. Again and again was Reunett brought back on board, fifteen •' "r in all. but every time he man i to escape and get back to the p-'r. Finally they put him in a box r.nd fastened the cover securely, as they thought. Then the schooner's jtern lines were cast off and she t-wur;? out into the stream, but the l ov. hawser way still out. and before it.cO"'d be cast off Reuben managed in some mysterious way to get out of his prison box and in an instant v:,s over the bows, treadin* the hawaer like a tight rope performer and reaching the pier safely. So they had to let him go. and now he is back in Banger, at the .Tones fish house where he spends the nights in char inp wharf fats and gossiping with <!'■: (pitted Toms and Tabs e! Broad street. Now, when rats desert ft vessel, the crew a-l'l want to quit, for that is a sign of bad luck. To bring a black ce.t on board is also bad hick. The question is, “What sort of h*cM follows desertion and wiu-ti-ny by a white and yeltew eat—a regular sailer ca that e®n go aloft as quickly as any man’” —X [pair are born same i 3. W. Garrotl, Jr., of Connecticut-, and Miss Wilmwen of Pennsylvania, Entered War-Id- at Same Tim'e.

The engagement, which was reeenty announced with- a big party at the home of Miss Wilmsen’s parents.

CHOPS OFF HER FINGERS Step-Father Maims Gtrl Who Supports Him Because She Intended to Wed. New York. —Salvator Spino was content to let his step-daughter sit up nights over shirtwaists brought home from the sweatshop, so long as the money she earned with her nimble fingers went to him. Recently she brought a young man home with her, and told him they were going to wed. The girl's fiance, who had picked a home for Antoim ette, told Spino that he had better get a job, as in the future he would not live from a woman’s earnings. "You’ll never sew for a worthless husband?’ cried the enraged man. and ’. e struck her hand with a hatchet, flopping off all her fingers. He is held without bail for felonious assault. Fish Interests Scientists. Berkeley, Cal. —The garpike, a predatory fish of the Mississippi valley, one ot the most remarkable creatures known to science for various reasons, has been discovered to possess another element of the unusual in a strange gjmd in the head, w'hich exists in no other organism of the animal king dora and which has no known use. It. is something like the vermiform appendix in human beings. Not so much in structure is this so. but in Hist it is apparently a vestige of evolution. The garpike is one of the few remnants of a class of which were nhiculant in prehistoric ages

H 3 HIS SENSES’ Man Lost Memory by Accident Strode Restores It. * -teburgher, Cenicloas of Identity Q r« Seven Years, Recovers It nrcugh Attack of Paralysis— A:member» Old Friends, Pittsburg, Pa.—Changed by un ac ■ cidcnt so greatly that he could not i rc<. •gnize family or friends or recall * I events of the 50 years of his life . Samuel Edleman has now, after seven ■ I ytars of the new mental existence, ' been switched back to the first by a paralytic stroke, and the seven year period is us greatly a blunk as had . been his first 50 years. He has resumed at fifty-seven th< 1 ! trend of events as he knew them at i fifty, and keeps his family busy telling ' him what manner of man he was dur itig the intervening years. Edleman ; was a blacksmith’s helper, when a piece of steel flew from under a ham ! mer and penetrated his brain, destroy ing his memory. As many fever pa ' tients are obliged to learn to walk ' sr.fw leaving hospitals, Edie- ! i.; u was compelled to learn to use 1 . I ruin a second time. ; dlcman after the accident did not | r-■ jgr.ize his wife, his half grown c! ildren or his friends. He knew i nothing of the blacksmith trade and i nolhing cf the city in which he was i l ean. But his mind was easily ' ti iued a second time, and his physi' ' < ci’lciency aided. He was set up ' 1 shoe repairing busl-nesa, earned ' ! sums, became a motorman. and i < ing the last census was one of the < ’.imerators. He made new friends. I i... them those who had known him before his injury, but he could ; not place their Identities except as I part of his new existence. It was »b---i solutely impossible for him to realise ! that the woman and children who served him so devotedly were hte Wife and ch-lldTen. Then came a slight stroke et paralyste. He was in bed only a few days. I't was warm weather. Edie ! man. who had been hurt seven years before in the winter time, sat up suddenly and demanded to know what had caused the change from such extreme cold to the beautiful spring d‘ay. , ’‘And, Mary, how fat you are," h« e-x-clai-med. Mrs. Edleman bad grown very stout during the seven years. Then Edleman’s oldest daughter cmm I®. St was a young woman and fa* did not recognize her at first. Soon friends of Ms blacksmith dayscame I®, summoned by Mrs. Edlem-a®, and he recognized tV-em instantly, but when a man with w-hom he had worked for two. years for the street railroad entered Edleman did nop know him. Edleman inquired for his brother, and although he had attended the brother’s funeral three years ago he refused to believe that brother was dead. Finally he began to wondet how he had conducted himself during the seven years. His wife as sured him he had been upright and honest, and had made more monej than ever before in his life. That phase of the second existence ap pealed to Edleman, and he conceived the idea of undergoing an operation in an endeavor to restore himself tc j that condition, but physicians convinced him of its Impossibility. INJURED WHALE TOWS SHIF Five Bombs Are Necessary to End the Life of a Mammal That Makes a Hard Struggle. Hoquiam, Wash. —Bringing in a j large cow. whale, which put up one of | the toughest fights ever experienced i by whalers out of this port, the steam ship Paierson arrived from a cruise down the coast. After the big mam mal was.harpooned she fought for five hours, several times threatening dis- i aster to the whaling vessel, which got numerous hard bumps. It was finally | necessary to Are five bombs before \ the whale was killed. During the earl?- slages of the battle the whale, with a harpoon firmly imbedded in her flesh, dashed away northward with the whaling steamship in tow at a rate of 20 miles an hour. While off the Columbia river, the crew of the Paterson witnessed' a school of cod, pursued by fur seals and porpoises, almost filling the waler with a solid mass of fish. Fully a thousand porpoise# were in evidence, dashing about and often leaping ten or twelve feet from the water. The fur seal are on their way north to the rookeries of the Alaska penincula The whale brought In by the Paterson is the tenth killed in thirty days. One other whale was shot on the cruise. The bomb killed the animal, but the harpoon failed to enter the flesh and the carcass sank. The 1 whalers Paterson and Moran, now operating out of here, soon will be joined by the first of three new steam whalers being built at Failing Window Hangs Boy. Charlottestown, P. E. I. — Harry Arblng, an 11-year-old boy, was killed here by a strange accident. He went to hiß school to light the fire, and, not having a key. stood a board against, the side of the building and climbed to the window. The board slipped and the window came down on i hie neck, leaving him suspended there ' A neighbor noticed the boy hang ] ing from the window and hastened tc his rescue but found he was dead. I
