Mrs. O'Dell, of raw raw, Mloh., built a rousing tiro In tho range the other day and closod tho oven door without noticing that the cat was tuklnga nap therein. Sho then turned her attention to other duties, and when next she opened the oven door aho discovered the cat baked to a crisp. The lawyers of Monroe County. Mich., were so pleased with tho vlgoroua way tn which Judge Joalyn, of the Circuit Court, cleared his docket that they decided to present him with a gold beaded cane. The Judge refused to receive the gift, saying that a man ought not to have a reward for aolng hta duty, and advised them to sell tho cane and give the proceeds to the poor. A boy who was out rabbit hunting neir Eldora, In Marlon County, W. Va., recently dlsoovored under a ledge of rocks an extensive oavo which contained the skeletons of five or six human be ings. It li supposed that the remains are those of an ancient tribe of lndlsnt, but some people be lieve that the cave was ooco a robbers' den, and that tho bones are tho bones of their victims.

Committees of Cntholio sociotles are meet ing ilnilv to mako arrangements for worthily colobrnting tho Ooldcn Jubllco of tho Pnpo. Tho delegates to tho Young Men's Diocesan Union especially show enthusiasm on tbo subjoct. Delegates to tbo last mooting from Now Jersoy ami Brooklyn had bcon Instructed to iudorsa any movement looking towards n worthy coli'bratlou of tho event. Lnst night a World roportor obtained from Father Lnvollo, of tho Cathedral, koiiio in teresting information in regard to plans already formed. ArrangcmontH nxo not yot perfected," Father Lavollu mid, but I may htato that thcro will bo somo fitting demonstration on tbo part of tbo young men of tbu DioceMin Union to commemorate this great event in tho lifo of tho reigning Pont iff. It Mill come off about tho ICtli of January and will take plnco in Chlckering Hall. This is tho young men's movement. Tho laity in general v ill testify their devotion to tho Popo by assisting nt tbo exercises which will tnko placo in all tho city churches on Now Year's Day. That is tho dny, you know, on which tho Holy Father will! celebrate this Jubilee anniversary. "Hero at tho Cathedral wo will havo n grand To Doum, sung by both choirs, and His Oraco tho Archbishop will deliver a dis course appropriate to tho occasion. Tho AmcricarCNatioual Union of Young Catholic Moil is mado up of tho diocesan unions. It is constructed on n plun very similar to tbo constitution of tliu United States. In our Diocesan Union tboro aro about twolvo hundred young men who aro members. Tho Catholio Club, another 'organization for young men, formerly known as Xuvior Union, intends, I beliovo, to do something to testify to tho dignity of' this ovoitintho Popo's lifo. Until I know clearly what their programuio is and when they will conduct their exorcises, I do not wish our Diocesan Union to determine on its own too definitely. Both organizations aro largaly of u social character und tho Catholic Club is tbo older body. It numbers several hundred iiioni bnrs. Father Doaloy, tho well-known JcMiit prioBt at St. Francis Xnvivr'H College, has charge of tbo club. Tho celebration will tnko tho form of addresses and musical and literary numbers. I havo no doubt it will bo of n cbaractor to rolloct credit on tbo nbllity, energy und dovo. tiou to tbo Holy Father of tho younger Cath olic portion of our community. Whon tho proL'rummo is moro dofiuitoly docidod on I shall comuiuuicato it to The Would with pleasure." Tho roporter nlso bad an intorviow with tho President of St. Frauds Xnyicr's Collego, Fathor John J. Murphy, who is also roctor of tho imposing Jesuit Church on Sixteenth street. I must bo briof with yon. You seo that he said with a smilo, tukiug up a Bhcut of paper from the titblo. I bogun on this in thu morning and havo douo what you soo, I am called away constantly." The amount of completed work would not occupy quarter of an hour. Tlio Pupal Jubileo Well, our exercises on Now Year's Day will bo directed to honor ing this momentous ocoasion in tho lifo of tbo reigning Pontiff. Tho main featuro will bo tho chanting of a beautiful To Dcuni. If you aro familiar with tho musical work nt our church you will know that it will bo worthy of tho Jubileo Tho sermon will also bo on a thenio referring to tho Papacy." Mr. Eugene Kolly, tho bankor, was visited by tho reportor to seo if tho laity wero en gugod in any special movement. Ah ono of tho most prominent Catholio laymen of tho city Mr. Kolly would not bo wanting in any such movement. I havo heard that somo celebration was intended," Mr. Kelly said, but as yot it has only reached my cars as a rumor, so I am not ublo to state anything dellnito in regard to it." Fathor McMillan, of tho Community of St. Paul, Ninth avouuo and Sixtieth strcot, is very much interested in tho endeavor to secure somo fitting celebration of tlio Jubilee and will do all he can to promote its success.

Sho hod amassed tho formid able hum of $70, which sho carried about with her in her pocketbook, after tbo manner of her kind. Miss Croly plays a diminutivo part at tho Lyceum Theotro, and on reaching that bouse on Wednesday, sho discovered to ber horror that hor poikotbook was gono. Miss Croly is very young to the profession, uh she might have Known that lost pocket books are occasionally oxtremely useful to actresses, nnd next to lost diamonds arc most desired for advertising purposes. Mibs CrqlywHS wild with voxation. Sho bud told every member of tho company strictly in confidence and after begging each not to tell the other of tho enormous sum shn bnd saved.

How did you know it was miuo?" asked Miss Crolv, ecstatically, looking as though hbo would like to testify her grntitudo to tho policeman by fervently unbracing him. Tbo guardian of the pence opened tho pocket-book and pulli d out a enrd on which was written: "Tho Wife. Call for changes in Act I. at 11 A. M. Thursday." "You seo, miss," he said, chuckling with satisfaction ut his own acumen, "I'm somo thin' of u theatrical fellow myself, or may bo I wouldn't bnvo understood them words.

Tho Guion steamer Wisconsin, which loft Liverpool Deo. 10, arrived only this morning. Sho was moro than forty-eight hours behind. Pcoplo hav ing friends aboard became npprchensivo lest somo lnisbap had occurred to her. Cnpt. Bontloy reports that during all of tho voyago ho met with most boiBtorous weathor. From the vory start it was nothing but n series of strong wosterly gulos, with vory high head sens. On Tuesday, Dec. 13, n very strong galo was encountered, with high and confused seas, at times swoeping tho steamor from stum to stern. Again on Friday a vory strong galo swept tho ocean, during which tho Wis consin could steam only a littlo moro than ono hundred and sixty miles. Sho sustained no injuries. Hor steerago passengers folt greatly ro lioved this morning when thqywcro safo on shoro, for dnriug tho twelvo days of the stormy voyopo they wero tho greater part of tho timo onligod to remain in tho steerage.

Tbo schooner PIkudo, which arrived this morning from Moyaguez, went through a boavy galo north of Hatteras on Deo. 17. which continued for moro than forty-eight bours.

His attention was called by tbo roportor to tho cablo message in this morning's World. .which stated that both Kilrain nnd Smith had agreed that thoir recont battle should stand a draw. Yes, I'm surprised at that," said Mr. Fox. "It's ngainBt my ordors, but I supposo it couldn't be bellied, There's another matter that I wish yon'd sneak of," ho continued, and that is about tho impression which oxists in tho minds of somo that I'm merely n supporter of pugil ism. That's not true. I support und do my best to furthorovcry kind of sport, and tlnring tho past ton years I have siient over $100,000 in trophies con tested for with oars, on bloyclCB, in tho ball Hold, tho ring and on tho track, and, more, ovor, I havo nover bet or gambled cent in my life." When Mr. Fox was nskod his opinion of the respective merits of Kilrain and Sullivan ho unhesitatingly answered: "Sullivan is, without doubt, thobcBt man in tho world with gloves, but ho has no chnnce with Kilrain undor tho London prlzo ring rules, with bare fists." m An Annunl llutlnemi or 800,000,000.

Tho Lorillards, Pierro, Georgo and Louis, Courtlandt Palmer and most other clubmen of any ambition hove Bpent their money for tuition in tholfoscinat ing social gamo. Col. Bob Ingersoll is an expert at tho gamo. Ex-Scnator William B. Woodin, of step-ladder famo, nnd mostothermon of note nnd brains enjoy pounding tho littlo balls over tho green cloth. Mrs. Longtry enjoys tho relaxation from hor usual cores in playinp; billiards. Thoro nro many ladies' clubs in tbo city which employ tutors who initiato tbom into tho mysteries of tho gamo. Prof. John Decry, who wos a beardless youth in 1R08, but took part that year in tho famous Billiard Congress at Irving Hall, has a num ber of classes of ladies. If Shakcspearo was not guilty of an an achronism, Cleopatra was familiar with billiards, nnd certainly tho fair half of crea tion could find much less rational amuse ment, for it is estimated that an averogo player walks ono niilo whilo ploying a game of twonty-fivo points with throo balls or thirty four points with four bolls on a toblo 5 by 10 feet in dimension. In making; tho various shots tho player must necessarily bring at times each and ovory uiubcIo of his body into piny, whilo the intricacies of tho gamo force brain activity, nnd tho player with tbe best brain and nervo usually wins. It is difficult to say nrbitrarily how many lessons make a player," said John Decry. It all depends on tho player. Most pupils at first play before and after tbo lesson until thoy aro tired out. The lesson is usually ouo hour, and ten constitute n course. Very few pupils finish tho courso. simply because they get tired of playing with tho sumo person. Wotooch as rapidly as possiblo all the points' of tho gamo, tho side stroke,' 'draw, 'follow,' 'rail nursing,' 'masse,' kiss shots,' and so on. Most pcrsonB desire only to learn to play as a social accomplish ment, and with no idea of becoming experts. It's difficult to hay how much it costs to learn, but it is safo to say that any player who is materially better than tho average has spent a small fortuno in becoming bo." Gentlomen affect a hougbty disdain for "marbles," as thoy term the declining craze, fifteen-ball pool, although the older of tho "old boys "hove cot up quito a revival of iiockot billiards, which thirty years ago was mown as tho American gamo," in contra distinction to "French caroms," which wos then making its bow in Yankee laud. But America, with its baseball, Bhould make no effort to steal away tho honor of popular izing billiards, for it is of tho French Freuohy. RAN OFF WITII A SPLENDID LADY." A Queer but Touching- Talo Told by Two Illen nt Follco llenduuartersu Two mon, ono of whom had tarriod at tho wino-cup boyond his ability to bear its bur dens, visited Polico Headquarters- Into on Thursday night to mako inquiries for an ab. sent friond, who had jilted bis affianced nnd loft hor a cold noto romlnding hor that they could only bo friends, as ho hod run away with a splendid lady. Tho men exhibited a photograph of a bouncing brunette of rotund form and heavy weight as a truo picturo of tho splendid lady." Thoy doclinod to.givo their names or ad drosses or the name's of the truant lovor and his deserted sweetheart, at tho same timo ad mitting that they wcro not related to eitber truant or victim. Tho polico tuko littlo stock in tho story and believe it to bo tbo outgrowth of a sprco. No alarm was sent out. Craihed Into a Htrcet-t'ar.

V liRJ7B A QDEER STATE OF THINGS. Knlghti of Labor (.Ire Employment to m. Cnt-Itate Oovernment Ilnnd. In its report on 'the military and nnvnl bands a special comraitteo of tho Musical Mutual Protective Union gives some very funny and interesting facts regarding tho outsido engagements mado by tho bands stationed at tho West Point Military Acud omy. tho Brooklyn Navy-Yard,; Fort Hamil ton, David's Island and tho Naval Academy at Annapolis. Tho Musical Union is taking steps to abolish this interference with its members' legitimate business by tbe soldier nnd Bailor musiclaus wbo rcccivo pay from tho Govern ment and fulfil outsido engagements at rates fur below those which tho citizen musician requires in order to obtain a decent liveli hood. In a list of tho engagements of theso Gov ernment hands lost summer it appears thnt tbo local assembly of tho Knights of Labor formed by tho Hamilton nvenue street-car men employed tho baud of tho Fifth Artil lory, composed' of ten men, and paid them $30 for music furnished at a parade and pic nic. Tho roto of a bund of tho samo nunibor of civil musicians for tho sumo music would havo boon ,CC. Tbo Musical Union looks upon an engage ment liko that as rather inconsistent on tlio part of a labor organization which is attached to tho great order of tbo Knights of Labor. Numerous othor iubtunces aro montioned in the committee's report vhoro tho military and naval bunds furnished music last summer at ono-third or one-half less than tho rates of civio bauds. Threo mon of tho United States bteoniorNevv Hampshire at Newport, wero engaged to ploy at the Gladstone Hotel at Narrogansett Pier for 10 for an evening. The report also tells how nrmy and navy musicians aro engaged. Leaders of sucli bands rank as sergeants in tho army, and two of tbom aro known to bo members of tbo Musical Union of this city. Members of a Government bond aro en listed as privato soldiers with tho under standing that they will bo enabled to add to thoir regular pay by performing at resorts and balls, picnics, parades and parties. Tho adjutant of n regiment outranks a military band leader when it comes to a question of tho stylo of muBio to bo played, and that autocratio individual often assumes his superior authority and lays out tho pro gramuio for his subordinates of tho regi mental band. Ton per cent, of tho outsido earnings of a military band goes into a regi mental fund. Tho committco finds that tho United Statos Army regulations forbid tho enlisted bonds performing outside of Government reserva tions, the same as army tailors, bakors, shoe makers and othor tradesmen aro forbidden from plying their vocations outsido of the corps that they aro attached to. Army sur geons aro not nllowed to practiso among civilians oxcept in cases of emergency, Tho Marino Band at Washington controls noarly all tho outsido ongagomonts for music in that city, and it is undor tho patronago of tho Government. HUNTING DOWN THE FORaERS. More llTldonco Needed Asnlnst tho Cuttom Iloute Hvvlndlern. Williams, O'Brion and Roborts, tho threo mon under arrest for tho forgory of puclio store orders and tho theft of voluablo goods from tho Appraiser's Department of tho Now York Custom-House, passed a dismal night in tho colls in tho basement of Police Head quarters. Thoy awoke early this morning and nto a hearty breakfast of steak, eggs, fried pota toes, coffee, and warm rolls, and woro left in their chilling loneliness to await Justico Duffy's pleasure at 2.30 p. m. Thus far tho detectives havo failed to se curo any tangiblo evidence to faston guilt upon "Handy Andy" Itobcrts, although they aro fully convincod that tho professional forger is tho head and front of tbo conspir acy. O'Brien, who could furnish the ovi denco to sccuro tho conviction of ltoberts, positively refused to tnlk and is willing to boar his shoro of imprisonment rather than squeal noon a partnor in distross. Collector Magono during a long conferenco with Inspector Byrnes said: "Tno ends of justice demand that tho thioves shall bo drought to grief but it is equally important that tho cloud of suspicion over tho heads of innocent clerks in tho Government employ should bo lifted. If there is a guilty part nor in tho Appraiser's dopartmont ho should bo npprehended at onco, so that others wbo are guiltless shall no longer bo under suspi cion. I cannot praiso too highly your splen did work, and I feel confident that you will got at all the bottom factB." Maurice J. Houlihan, Chiof of the Customs Servico, spends a great deal of his timo with Inspector Byrnes, and is laboring to securo evidence that will send all tho guilty personB to State Prison. 1 Sw HAVE NO FEAR, INSPECTOR STEERS. Tho Doys Will Hny Nothing nt All About Your Christmas Charity. Jack O'Conner is a bright littlo follow who appears at Polico Headquarters regularly ovory afternoon and dispenses the nows to tho officials thcro through tho medium ot tho newspapers. Ho is a newsboy, but that does not prevent bis teeth from chattering when tho thermometer is flirting with zero, and oven though ho did win n big bcok as a prizo for his exalted scholarship ot St. Patrick's School, in Mulborry stroot, yesterday, the warmth of success did not prevent nasty littlo shivers from creeping up his back. This morning Jack wandered about head quarters looking vory cold. He unexpectedly ran up against Inspector Steers, who said Why, Jack, whore is your overcoat Ain't got nono, sir,1' was tho reply. But you aro cold, aren't you?" Y-y-ir." "Say, Harley," said tho big-hearted In spector to Sorgt. Harley, "just writo an order for an overcoat for this boy, and I'll sign it." Tho order was written and given to Jack, who went to a Broadway olotbior's with it ns fast as his littlo legs could carry him. Soon ho reappeared at Polico Headquarters, ro splendent in a new overcoat with a big fur capo on it. Tho Inspector said to tbo re porters: "Bars, I wouldn't say anything about this." m m Clubbed at the Dnnce.

J Tho present management of the Standard Theatre aro not taking any risks of slips daring the HI first representation of Paul Kanvar to-morrow MM night. Tho company not only rehearse during the fll day, but are now giving performances each even. MM ing to wear off those rough edges which lrritato a nl first-night audience. The posters which announce Wl the production of "Faul Kanvar, or Anarchy," 1 are glaringly red. H Tbo present Casino Company in its entirety will Hj soon leave for Chicago, where it will present m "The Marquis." The "Ermlnle" Company la jH coming back to tho Casino. It Is hard work for I even the Casino to secure an attraction that comes j anywhere near "Ermlnio" in popularity. Iln- dolph Aronson Is now on tbe ocean with tho Inten. tlon of searching Europe with tbls end in view. Prof. Hermann's schemo to possess a Broadway theatre seems to have vanished as If by the maglo efforts of which ho is so fond.

The professional actors wbo are to assist the students of the New York School of Acting in tho special matlnoo which will bo given at tho Lyceum Theatre this afternoon do not seem to bo happy. ft Said one of them: "I am considerably cut up H about a mutilation of A Winter's Talo by the Q directors of the play, Mr. Belasco and Mr. Bar- H gent, by which the professional gentleman who N havo by request volunteered their services aro II' made to appear to great disadvantage. It Is rather 1 1 anlnju.tlco tout." Tho matineo promises to be jl very Interesting. Besldoa Act IV. of "A Win- ter'sTale," Mre. C. A.

It Is said that tho Idea ot theso extra H roatlndes was entertained by Mr. Abbey with ihe H view of keeping Mr. Bellow busy, as that Baccha. rlno young man will be thrown on Mr. Abbey's BJ hands on April 1, when Mrs. Potter's engagement H with Mr. Miner terminates. It Is now probable H that Mrs. Potter will be with Mr. Abboy through. out the next season.
