tat i& !: r , law lff One Million Stray YEQW Ovv) n : TAST CHICAGO. There nro 1,000,000 homeless cats In Chicago. IIim lis a problem that seen must bo given serious consideration, Jin the opinion of Hugo Krauso, secre tary of the Anti-Cruelty society. As Constantinople collected all its stray doga and placed them upon an ,lsland in the Mediterranean, thoro to (starve to death, so Chicago must de vise some plan of ridding itself of (the half-starved felines that infest vory alloy and practically every jbulldlng in the older portions of the city and are found in hundreds in the J)aaement8 of loop buildings. I Tho Anti-Cruelty society haa no means with which thoroughly to por orm tho task. Officials of the dog pound nro said to have refused to un dertake it because of the old super stition that tho exterminator of a jbiacn. cat will ever after be unlucky. !And many of the homeless cats are black, I "Something must bo done immedi ately, cither to provide ( homos for these stray cats or to exterminate thom," said Mr. Krause the other day. ''Their half-stnrved condition, for they feed chiefly at the alley garbage pails, iw n ji y AAMAAAAAMkMWMMWWWWVWVWVWW' Eight Women Lunch With Eight Dogs MEW YOnK. A history-making so JLi clal ovent took place the other aft ernoon at tho Vandorbilt ,hotcl. ) As the Chlneso clock in the Chinese Toom struck two, there sat down to luncheon eight Chlneso doggies and eight American women. Yes; to gether a lady and a dog, a lady and a dog, alternately, all round the table. It took some effort on the part qf Mrs. Arthur L. Holland, who gave tho party for her Pekinese, Vl-Sln of Al .dorbourne. to persuade the manager to close the Chinese room lo the public for the afternoon and insure seclusion for her aristocratic gathering. Pink, red nnd yellow carnations dec orated the oblong table, and between each toakwood chair was placed a teakwood tabouret inlaid with pearl nnd cushioned with satin, upon which a well-combed doggie sat. r Mrs. Holland denied that sho was the hostess. Tho luncheon, she de clarefl, was being given by Vi-Sin of Alderbourne to his friends from Pe king, who were allowed to bring their beautiful mistresses to share tho ban quet. Besides Vi-9in, there was Toto, Mmc. Wu, Wu Ting Pang, Pin-Kee, Ti-Tu .Ehr-sin and Fan-Sin, who accom panied respectively Mrs. William Shannon, Mrs. William E. Belding, AAAAMAAAMAAVtVWWWWMM Woman Routs Two CLEVELAND, O. When Mrs. Tim othy Clancy, 7713 Superior avenue, returned to her home early the other morning from a call upon friends in -the neighborhood she found the front door jammed so she could not unlock It. Glancing through tho dining-room (Window she saw two burglars at work. She didn't scream or run. Sho calm ly proceeded to raise the dining-ioom window and just as calmly proceeded to climb in. The burglars fled, al though Mrs. Clancy Is slight and woighs no more than 100 pounds. Tho burglars chose a rear door for Iheir exit, brushing by Mrs, Clancy's mother, Mrs. Catherine Carpenter. and her sister, Mrs. Arthur Dowe, who had run around to the back when Mrs. Clancy started to climb Into the window. The burglars kept right on going, however, and disappeared over tho alley fence. They took ?CC5 worth M loot with'them. The apartments of Mrs. Clancy are AMAAMAAAAAAAAAWMMWW Little Indiana Tots in Elopement J N'DIANAPOLIS. Elopement! There II was no other construction the offl .cers at headquarters could put on It. And they remarked laughingly that tho leap-year spirit is geting some pretty young recruits, when they had seen to it that Miss Opal Johnson, threo years old, and J. P. Grady, four years old, had been sent homo, wind ing up a runaway that had been sug gested by MIbs Opal. After the youngsters had been taken to headquarters by Patrolman Thomas O'Brien, who found them, Matron Whitman administered a diminutive and much-moderated "third degree." She found Anally that Miss Opal was the granddaughter of Kalo Johnson, and that J. P. was the son of Jack Jrady, who was called. Miss Opal admitted, under Are, that sho and J. P. "wuz sent by J. P.'s mamma to dot some buttamllt to dink." And then sho waxed moro confiden tial: "J. P. buyed some apples 'n we ot Preserving tho Beaver. Tho efforts to prevent tho extermi nation of tho beaver In the Adlron dacks have 'eon so successful that there aro now more than twenty largo beaver colonies on the Raquetto river alone, and there is fear of serious damage to poplar timber through the activities of the busy llttlo fellows. fifr Cats in Chicago demands that some action bo taken This alono, regardless of tho fact that they aro a menace to health, is suf ficient reason." Over in North Halsted Rtreet thoro is one building, recently vacated by a laundry, where more than a dozen cats sleep during tho day and at night wan der through tho alloys looking for food. At a small storo at 617 Wells street, a large wild tramp feline makes Its hem? in th flooring, coming out only at night. It has defied all efforts at capture. Only a few days ago a largo down town restaurant was renovated. In tho cellars nearly two score of stray) cats were found. Thirty-ftvo of them were sent to the Humano society which maintains a large cattery, sorts out tho best of the felines and finds homes for them and chloroforms the remainder. According to statistics ono femalo stray cat will bring from ten to fifty kittens Into tho world each year. Throughout the entire city tho cat pop ulation is increasing rapidly and even in the newer districts owners of pet cats, in giving kittens to their friends, aro laying the foundation for a future pest of homeless felines. New York city Is solving the prob lem by giving all Its dog license money to tho Humane society and this de frays the expense of caring for or ex terminating the strays. Somo such plan as this will be urgod by Mr. Krauso at a conference ho will ask for with city aldermen. Mrs. A. Radcllffe Dugmc-o, wlfo of the celebrated African explorer; Mrs. Carl E. Ackley, who accompanied her husband on a two-year African hunt ing expedition and personally shot the largest elephant ever killed; Mrs. Edward Woodward, Miss Hattle Wood nnd Miss Doonja de Mltkiewlcz-Hol-land, a daughter by Mrs. Holland's former marriage to a Russian noble man, tho Count de Mitklewlcz. Vi-SIn's costume consisted of a knot of pink roses at his collar, matching in tint Mrs. Holland's gown. Th place-cards were small dull-flnlsbei. photographs of the host, himself, taken in a variety of poses. Tho entire menu was Chinese, evolvc'd from the brain of a Chinese caterer and prepared by the hands of a Chinese chcr. The musical pro-' gram was dispensed with, owing to a lack of harmony between the samo sens and tho vocal ranges of Vl-Sln! and his chums. Burglars in Home located on the first floor of a four suite terrace. Mrs. Dowe occupies tho suite opposite the one occupied by Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs. Clancy. Tho three women had been out together. When Mrs. Clancy attempted to open tho front door sho was surprised to find that tl" key would not turn. Sho next obcoi ed that tho lights within tho apartment wcro all burn ing, though sho had turned them off when cleaving. Mrs. Clancy borrowed a chair from a neighbor and climbed to the dlnlngJ room. As she raised tho window sho' saw tho two men inside. "I was not a bit frightened," said tho bravo lit tle woman. "I am sorry now that I made so much noise in opening the window, because I might have got in and grabbed ono of them. I know I could have held onto him until the neighbors cajno to my assistance." The apartments had been most thoroughly searched. Rugs jind mat tresses wcro turned over. Drawers' were pulled out and their contents scattered about. Clothing was re moved from tho closets and palnB were taken to turn tho pockets inside out. The thlevB "Hirid uwny nix rings set with diamonds, two gold mesh bags and other articles valued at $500. They also found $165 In cash. cm, 'n den I say, J. P., let's wun away. An wo wunncd away 'n et some moro apples that a big man gived us. An' den wo have lots of fun lookln' at do funny men 'n ladies.

P. sat by gravely ami listened whllo his entlcer told her story, which ho corroborated by saying: "I dot an order," producing a slip of papor on which was written a request to "give J. P. some buttermilk." The youngsters wcro "balled out" ' later by J, P.'s father. Help for a General.

J ROUT THUGS BY ELECTRICITY Nothing Has Done More'to Lessen. Crime and Depravlvy In New York Than Lighting of 8treets. A glowing trlbuto to cloctriclty nu "tho best policeman" and "tho sworn foe of crooks" appealed, editorially, in the New York EvenLtg World, as fol lows: "Ghosts havo fled before tho olec trlo light, according to a physician lecturer. Ghosts hivo disappeared Just in proportion (.a our means or Hunting have increased," said tho doc .or, and went on to tiolnt out that un til 1825 people "Used; mainly candles, which, bo far from lighting up, ranks shadows and dark corners all the blacker. Moreover in tho old days of dxaughty corridor and creaking stair cases peoplo lay in bed In tho dark, listening to nolsns and imnglnlng spir its. Now wo turtf on the electric light and that is the end of thom. "We owe much to tho electric light It has cleared up tho alums of our ell. let.

Thjs dovlco could also bo used for grooming horses or cattle. Ventilating fans, household equip ment, cooking devices and tho sup planting of tho old oll-drlpplng lan tern by electrlo lamps or an electric torch completed this uniquo exhibit. In practically every place whoro muscular onorgy has hitherto been expended on tho farm, electricity is taking its placo.

Many young ladlos who have learn ed tho economical tricks of beauty buy theatrical make-up boxes for tho holding of the cnsmotlca nnd soft llt tlo rags that they will need, tho gtrls gottlng theso empty nnd fitting thom up as thoy soo fit. Ono will buy charming llttlo celluloid boxes tho sort called "Parisian Ivory," for pow der, rouge, nail pasto, forehoad plas ters, and so on, putting tho liquids sho will rcqulro into bottlos as dainty. Another will mako uso of any small cardboard boxos in convenient sizes sho hns on hand, employing ordlnury vlnla, old or now, for tho liquids. For tho innko-up rags, which are lndlspon slblo, tops of old whlto stockings nro' used, finb old handkerchiefs, bits ot silk undervosts, etc., and tho maid who understands traveling will novor fall to fasten nil tho topB of tho boxes on with n rubber band. Now traveling by land nnd noa havo differing consequences, but both moth ods of transportation threaten enough hurt for tho complexion to make a complexion cream nnd a skin wash most valuable things to havo In tho vanity box. Thon as many young women nro unaware of the fact that the soap supplied travelers Is novor of tho best sort, nnd that sometimes thero Is none at all, I would ndvlso in cluding a cake of somo familiar sort Grease paint Ib bettor, too, for travel ing uso thnn tho dry sort, this hurting tho skin less and keeping on bettor, nnd for powder I would suggost n llt tlo scentod talcum, which could bo sowed up for convonlonco into a llttlo cheesecloth bag. Dust is lnovltablo with travel by train, nnd as It is not nlwnj'B possible to obtain tho means of a face bath, and If loft on long the dust will seri ously hurt tho skin, the faco should bo cloansed at least twlco a day with cold cream and a llttlo of the wash carried along. For tho last benzoin will be found excellent, a tcaspoonful ot this in half a cup of wator supply ing quite a good faco bath. Pour the diluted benzoin on n soft bit of rag and go ovor all tho faco with wiping movomonts, doing this nftor tho skin hna been flrst clennnod with cold cream. -After tho face has dried, pow dor ys usual. In placo of tho benzoin it is possi ble to employ ornnge-flower wnter or alcohol or any good cologne or toilet wntor for taking off tho gronso after tit" cream cleansing, or oven for tho soil itself, but It Is never wlso to uso too much of any of these things, as they all scorch tho skin after a whllo. Upon arrival anywhore tho faco should bo washed immediately with warm wator nnd a bland soap, and Blnco ono cannot count always on soft water a small box of borax would bo nnothor precious adjunct for tho van ity box. Dust, by tho way, is curious ly destructive to tho .dollcncy of the skin, Inflaming It nnd somctlmos set tling sp deeply into tho pores that blackheads ensuo. Tho hygienic soaps of Fronch manufacture aro nil good, theso being healing as well as cleans ing to tho Bkln. Old castllo Is an other good soap itiaru uuully procur able, as It can be found In every drug store nnd In mnny llttlo country groceries. Tho Injuries of tho sea trip como through tho1 Influences of salt air and wind, many complexions taking on sudden i options or tanning badly.

Tako one of these every night as long as Is necessary, and holp tho good work along by taking n warm soa liath every day. If your eyes are used to glasses keep them on, for you will bo 'moro suscoptlblo tfi seasickness if you lsve tlro niT, , For promoting tho skin from wind burn, prepare It beforo putting on tho powder with cold cream, rubbing this well down Into the pores nnd wiping off the surplus. Wear a rod-brown veil on tho ship's deck, or when tak ing tho llttlo boat salt, as this rnlor Is about tho only ono thnt will roslst tho tanning agents of Dame Nature but If you can go without the veil without serious Injury to your skin, do so, ns nlr, just air Itself, Is ono of tho body's most Importnnt beautiflers. Hints on Health and Beauty. Camphor water Is an aBtrlngont 5ond for an oily skin.
