A MUSICAL CAT THAI' SINGS SEVERAL

From ttao Washington Tost.
There is a young lady on Capital
Hill who has a. mnsiVal rat Aftr
nearly a year of hard work on the fe
line musician, she says it can sing the
best portion of two well known sours,
"Home, Sweet Home" and "Au!d
Lang byne, but without the usual
variations. When this vnunn l.i.'v
wants puesy to sititf she puts her on a
velvet footstool and commands : "Puss
sing 'Home, Sweet Home,'" at the
same time humming the air. Pussv
always responds, sinninn the desired
tune in a rather high falsetto voice, a
mite oroken, but sufficiently well to
be recognized bv the hearers. Some
times when this cat is out on a moon
light expedition her voice can be
heard above those of her companions
in the feline-out-door hack-fence con
cert, ringing out "Auld Lapg Syne" or
iiome, sweet Home. I lie young

I have" been troubled with catarrh

I purchased a bottle of Ely's Cream

liable preparation for catarrh and

On a clear night a red light can be

Would you rather buy lamp

accident breaks it ?
Comn'on glass may break or
not the minute you liiht your
l.nmnr if not. the first draft mav
break it; it' not, it may break
from a mere whim.
Tough glass chimneys, Mac
beta's " Pearl-top" or "Pearl
glass," almost never break from
heat, not one in a hundred.
Where can you get it? and
what does it cost?
Your dealer knows where and
how much. It costs more than
common glass; and may be, he
thinks tough glass isn't good for
his business.

WHILE RUNNING AWAY.

Arr.iMiliiateil A New Utory About mi
Historic Trnfjedy.
Villlam Withers, Jr., is tho qniet
man who leails the'ochesfra at the t'ali
foriiia theater, and when not murlm1.
int? his mn.'ieinna is writin;? innric in
his room ut tl.o Eroo'.rlyn hotel. lie is
fi retiring that few can claim to know
him well, lilllioiiK'h Iiih inupieal genius
h:is for tliirty-fivo years given him Rtrtiid
in' iimoiifr tho composers and leaders of
tli" country.
Jlr. Wither is fifty-five years old now,
yet look.t to L-3 not inoro tlian fori v. and
wouhl appear even younger cxeejit for
an iipisodo that occurred on the eveuinjr
of April 4, ls.'j.-,, nt Ford's theater in
Washington. Th.-it evening Withers al
ltio! t hud the tnii)ns;'r.t 'li.'linetion of
beintf inurJeifil by Wilkes Loot'u after
tho latter had fired the f.if;d bhot at
President Lincoln and was rushing mad
ly from the stiifro to an eutraw e wLtro
u confederate ha 1 a hor-o in wiitiaj.
Mr. Withrrs' mott valued treasure is
a dress cont, now in part destroyed by
the moth that corrupts all wool, but oa
tho back of tho coat can be plainly eeeu
two clean cut Flits, made withasliarv
edge. One, hih up, as though a stroke
for the wearer's neck, had missed it by
a littlo and descended upon the gar
ment. The other cut, nearly over the
center of tho space nnder which the
wearer's- right shoulder blade would be,
is longer but equally well defined, end
made with the same shnrpV-teel.
Wilkes Booth made both these slits,
and the wonder is that his victim was
not fatally slashed, instead of ljeiug only
nicked through tho upper cut.
The coat was new when Mr. Withers
put it on to lead the orchestra on the oc
casion of Abraham Lincoln's visit to the
play, but the coat has never been worn
since, so great was the sentimental de
votion of the musician to the great man
who won for friends all who came to
know him.
Every one knows the story of Lin
coln's assassination while sitting iu an
upper box of Ford's theater enjoying
"Our American Cousin," bnt few have
learned what occurred just after Booth
had fired the cowardly shot, because
William Withers is the only man whov
can tell the story, and be does not often
do it.
"When the fatal shot was fired," he
says, "I thought some property man had
fired a pistol. Just then I heard a heavy
fall on the stage and the people began
to yell: 'Hang him P 'Lynch him!' 'Stop
him!' and I saw a man running across
the stage toward me. When he got
near I saw his eyes were almost starting
from his head and there was the most
fearful expression on his face I ever saw.
"I recognized Wilkes Booth and at
that instant he put down his head awl
came rushing on, saying: 'Let me pass!
let me pass?
"I was standing where I could not
move much, the passage was so narrow.
He came on and when he got near struck
me with a bowie knife and kept saying.
'Let me pass" I felt the cut and turned
a little. Then he struck the knife into
me arrain near tho back of my neck and
I fell. When I was down he rushed to
the stage door, grasped the knob with
both hands and dragged the door on.
I saw 'Peanut' John standing outside
holding a bay horse. Then Booth pulled
tho door shut.
"Very soon Detective Stewart ran
over me and out of the door after Booth.
The crowd came upon the stage and
grabbed mo and wanted to han;,' me
right there, but some who knew me
shouted that I was not the man. I was
arrested, however, and taken to j;fll,
whr-u Mayor Wallaek examined me.
"I though I was severely cut, but
when I took off my clothes I fonnd that
tho knud had ouly pierced my clothing
and cut the skin a little, Tho cuts were
as clean as though a razor had made
them, and I havo never understood Ijow
I escaped. The knife was found in front
of tho latent oQiee, where Booth had
dropped it as he rode away after tho
murder.
"1 h..d seen Booth before tho show
standing near the Tenth street entrance
to the thyater, and al ter the performance
began faw Lira r.gaia tand:ng n gainst
tho roar wall 01 tne parquet circle, and '
then noted that he had gone into the
balcony. After President Lincoln came
in Booth stolo down the balcony mi; :1 he
tonld look through a hole tinti hud been
bored i:i tho bo.t door and locate the
president exactly. Then Ipj hud opened
the door a little, taken careful aim and
fired the fatal shot. IIo burst through
the box aud jumped fourteen fec-t Ut the m
stage.
"It was such an experience as I never '
wish to have again. It made me sick
f,-.r wicks, and I get excited now when I
think of it. I t.ut.;ht little 'Tad' Lincoln
to play the drum, and was always kindly
treated by the preMdet.t. The whole
shooting and eseapo were done in a few
seconds and unexpectedly. Boo 11 had
evidently made his plan carefully, uiid
was prepared to resort to any means to
avoid lit re-1. I keep that old coat now,
and value it morn than everythi:.. else
I have." (ran Francisco Examiner.
