1(1 GREAT DEIv Prowling Jack Steals Every Feline Which He Sees Lurking on Streets. 'WORTH 6 CENTS EACH 5kins Used as Imitations for Fine Furs Established a Large Business. London. Jan. 7. Another Jack ! prowling around London. There have already been Jack the Inkman and Jack the Fur Snipper. The new enemy of aoclety may be called Jack the Cat Stealer. Numerous west end residents have recently lost their cats those with the prettiest fur are the first to dlsappear and advertising for them U, In most cases fruitless. Where do the rats go? What Is the reason for their mysterious disappearante? . gome startling facts were obtained from furriers In the poor quarters of London, which practically solve the mystery. What is that nice, soft fur which lines the Inside of motor coats; also the fur of cheap stoles and mantles sold In certain districts of London? 7.300 Skins in One Day It is the fur of the ordinary English domestic cat. Sometimes it is dyed to resemble the fur of some other animal: in other cases it Is allowed to remain Its original color. A Goswell road furrier supplied some Interesting facts as to the sale of cat skins In London. "One day recently 7,300 cat skins were sold at the College Hill salesrooms, Cheapslde," he said. "These skins were classed as 'house cats.' which is quite a different skin to those of the wild civet or other kind of cat. "While the majority of the skins come from abroad a number are from the English household cat. "How or where the English cat skins were obtained I can not say. The fur Is largely used to line the Inside of motor coats. It Is also used for mantles, collars, etc." Dyad as Skunk Skins "We have dyed a considerable nunwl ber of cat skins this year," said a member of a fur skin dyers In Mackintosh road. Momerton. "A short time ago we dyed between four hundred and five hundred cat skins for one firm. They were dyed a dark brown color, with black tips, in Imitation of skunk skins." Miss Cording, foundress and manageress of the Isllngtpn lost cat shelter, Trinity street. Liverpool street, N. was next seen. "I have recently had numbers of letters from west end. people asking me if I have found their cats, which have mysteriously disappeared," she said. "The lost animals aro rarely found In such rases, I am sure there must be some cat stealing done. Prices Offered for Skins. "Two firms have written me asking me to sell them the skins of the cats which have been put In the lethal chamber. Of course I refused." The price for cat skins offered to Mist Cording were as follows: Good skins. 6 cents each; extra good skins, 8 rents each. "It would have paid me handsomely to have sold the skins," continued Miss Cording, "as during rertain times of the year some sixteen hundred cats arrive here In a month. But I do not believe In wearing that kind of fur." That "Jack the Cat Stealer" is becoming a great pest to rat lovers there can be no doubt. When a man ran get eight cents for a good akin he will not mind stealing a cat to obtain It. The present dearness of fura Is also stated to have contributed to the Increased demand for cat skins. At Local Theaters To Close Engagement The Powell and Cohan Musical Comedy Company aro closing their Richmond engagement tonight In The Daughter of America and a most unusual thing about It Is the fact that this Is by far the best bill of their entire repertoire.

eccentric comedy than any other part she has had here. Hut the feature of the entire bill is the wonderful performance given by Mr. Leo Waddell. He disguises as his twin sister and the makeup is so perfect in every detail that his first entrance Is not greeted by the audience immediately for the reason that they do not at once recognize the fact that it is a man. Presenting not the slightest degree of burlesque, his make up Is as truly remarkable a one as has ever been seen in Richmond. Why Carle Wears Glasses Richard Carle recently recalled the first play he had ever seen. This was 'Dreams." or "Fun In a Photograph Gallery." "That was away back In 1883, when I was 12 years old," declared the comedian of "Jumping Jupiter," which comes to the Gennett on Monday. "My father and mother," he continued, "took me over to Hoston from Somervllle, a suburb where 1 was born and where we always lived. That was the first time, too, that I really knew that I was short sighted. I could see the persons on the stage, but I could not make out their expressions clearly. "Willie Eduoin. the famous Knglish actor, was the star of the show, and James T. Powers and Jacques Kruger were members of the cast. I thought the funniest thing in the show was Jimmy Powers sliding down stairs. .Anyhow, that made the greatest im pression on me. I laughed till my I sides ached. "By ono of those strange theatrical coincidences, James T. Powers was the star of "A Mad Bargain." the first play In which I ever appeared on the stage. And two years ago Jacques Kruger was the leading comedian in one of my musical comedies. "After that night I began to wear glasses, and I have worn them' ever since." At the Murray. Wilhelml and his Imperial Yacht band of German musicians occupies the headline position at the Murray this week. WilhelmTs impersonations of the famous composers are indeed finished and artistic, and the accompanlng orchestral selections from each comoser are equally jdellghtful. Late motion pictures open and conclude the bill with Leonard Hro.'s as equilibrists, the Sloane Duo adding to the bill. Henry Hobker presents one of the neatest and most refined acts of the season. He styles himself the "Boy Behind the Suit Case." Appearing tho stage with a large suit case, he introduces himself, and then in full view of the audience he makes up his face, changes his clothing and gives impersonations, which are all exceptionally good and the audiences last night fully appreciated the young man.

GOT HER PACKAGE. 8he Really Had to Have It Because It Hold Perishable Stuff. With her piquant little face pressed close against the glass she rattled the door of the express office. "Is there a package here for Mrs. Jack Brown?" she asked the clerk who hastened to let her in. The man hesitated. "I'll see if there is anything here," he said, "but we're not allowed to deliver on Sunday." "I know," she said sweetly as she followed him to the back of the office. "I Just want to be sure it's come. My husband wrote he had sent it." The clerk looked through the pile of packages until he came to a large pasteboard box. "Is this the one?" he asked, laying it on the counter. "That's it," she said as she looked at the address. Now that she actually had it in her bands she wasn't going home without It. "Can't you let me have it?" she begged. "I'll never tell." lie was n faithful employee, but a pair of big, innocent looking gray eyes were having its effect on him. "Is it perishable?" be asked, weakening. She saw her cue and took it. "Yes," he said. "It is." "Then I'll have to let you keep it," he said, glad of a good excuse. As she was walking triumphantly out of the office with the box under her arm she stepped and laughed. "It was so kind of you to let me have it," she said. "I'll have to tell you. It's a far Coat. But it Is perishable," she added. "If a moth should get Into that coat tonight it would be ruined before tomorrow morning." National Monthly. Moral Courage.

DOCTOR'S MEDICIIIE Obtained Great Wealth Treating Old Women in This Manner. by Cleveland. O., Jan. 7. When Dr. Jonathan F. Black went a-kissing he did it with some purpose.

The doctor declared In the past few years in which he had known Mrs. Lord he had kissed her and written her letters almost daiiy. He said he sent her gifts of flowers, fruits, candy, and at one time he sent her a pet fox terrier. Seven years ago, he said, he gave up a good practice in Cambridge, Mass., and came here. "I lived at Mrs. Lord's home but didn't pay my board, as I did work around the house." he said. "I carried the coal down stairs and cleaned out the ashes."

Of Things That Mutt Be Dons Tackle the Hardest First. I know a very successful man who early In life resolved that no matter how hard anything might be or how seemingly Impossible for him to do he would do it if the doing would prove of value to him. says Orison Swett Marden In Success Maga-iue. He made this the test and would never allow his moods or feelings to stand in the way of his Judgment. lie forced himself in the habit of promptly doing everything, no matter how disagreeable, if It would further his advancement People who consult their moods, their preferences or their ease never make a great success in life. It is the man who gets a firm grip on himself and forces himself to de the thing' that will ultimately be best for him who succeeds. The man who goes through life picking out the flowers and avoiding the t boras In his occupation, always doing the easy thing first and delaying or putting off altogether if possible the hard thing, does not develop the strength that would enable him to do hard things when necessity forces them upon him. It is pitiable to see young men and women remaining far below the place where their ability ought to have carried them just because they dislike to do disagreeable things until compelled to. The best way always is to tackle the hardest things first Sore Throat Don'ts. When the children' have sore throat, don't blister their necks with lamp oil. Don't torture them with a foul smelling Biece of fat meat, wrapped about the neck, on't imagine there is medical virtue in an old sock or piece of red flannel. Don't believe in antiquated superstitions. A sore throat is a serious matter and is not to be healed by such make-believe remedies.
