Wheelmen's club rooms last evening.
In tho absence of the president, lion.
John II. Fellows, the former president,
Charles 15. Daniels, culled the meeting
to order and presided.
A report was made to the effect that
work on tho West Lackawanna avenue
viaduct will lint bo commenced until
next spring, owing to the high price
of cement, and the scarcity of building
materials.
Mr. Daniels reported that a nominal
assessment of $100 a year In taxes on
the now silk mill has been fixed by
councils for a period of ten years, and
that work on the plant Is being pushed
rapidly. Mr. Ashley Is anxious to
have tho mill finished nssoon as pos
sible In order to meet tho' demands for
his product.

ported and the secretary was Instruct
ed to call tho attention of the street

burn street from the end of the pave
ment to Grant avenue, and ask that
It bo given Immediate attention.
The condition of Price street, be
tween Sumner and Lincoln avenue,

there, which causes surface water to

THE WICHITA TWINS.
Thought Alike, Talked Alike and
Suffered Alike in Kansas.
From the Kansas City Journal.
The Wichita (Kan.) EagIo tells a re
markable story of the current of sym
pathetic lullucneu which llowed between
two brothers. They are John Stites and
AVllbur Stites, twins, and they have
lived In Wichita, for many years. About
a week ago John wns taken to a local
hospital, suffering from cancer of the
stomach. On AVednesdny night Wilbur
went from the bedside of his brother to
his home. At the moment when Wil
bur left there was no appearance of
immediate danger In the condition of
John. Yet on entering tho house, a few
minutes later, Wilbur throw up his
hands and ejaculated, "John Is dead!"
And bo it developed. John had died at
tho hospital at the exact moment when
the thought came to .Wilbur.
In 1S73 Juhn nnd Wilbur were mar
ried to Alice und Carrie Worth, In Clay
county, Mo., and these brides worn
twins. Furthermore, an elder brother
of the Stites twins married an elder
sister of llui Worth twins, and the two
families were thus connected in a man
ner seldom found.
Both John und AVllbur were well
known and respected citizens of AVIch
Ita, and for years it has been noticed
by their friends that they thought alike
on every Htibject. Often, us a test, they
wero questioned separately, and each
gavo the same reply, differing, perhaps,
only a little In their forms of expres
sion, Their business partner, J, S,
Alexander, has. been with them thirty
years. He knew them apart, but ho
could not tell how ho knew, "I have,"
he said, "made tho most mlnutu ex
amination of their faces mid forms, of
their eyes, and expression of their
voices and tlielr laughter, of their
habits and manners, and, for tho life of
me, I can't tell why I knew them sep
arately, AVo who have known them for
a quarter of a century have noticed
that they cut tlielr tobacco in exactly

CAT AND SNAKE EIGHT.
How Pussy Vanquishes the Most
Poisonous Reptile.
From tho Scotsman.
The fer-de-lance is one of the most
deadly poisonous snakes in the world.
It is common in Brazil and some of tbu
AVest Indian islands, nnd was particu
larly so in the forests of Martinique,
now destroyed by tho volcano. The
head Is Hat and triangular, the length
five to seven feet, a horny spike on the
end of tho tall that rasped against hard
objects. Tlio bite is almost instantly
fatal, and even when Immediate deatli
Is averted, serious, and eventually fatal,
troubles may set In.
The creature which fears the monster
least Is the brave cat. Seeing a snnkce,
she at once carries her kittens to a
place of safety, then boldly advances to
tho encounter. She will walk to the
very limit of tho serpent's striking
range and begin to feint, teasing him,
startling him, trying to draw his blow.
A moment more and the triangular
head, hissing from tho coil, flushes
swift as if moved by wings. But
swifter still the stroke of the armed
paw that dashes the horror uslde,
flinging it mangled In the dust.
Nevertheless, pussy does not yet d.ire
to spring; the enemy, still active, has
almost instantly reformed his coll; but
she Is again In front of him, watching,
vertical pupil against vertical pupil.
Again the lashing stroke; again the
beautiful countering; again the living
death is hurled aside, and now the
sealed skin is deeply torn, one eye
socket has ceased to llame. Once more
tho stroke of the serpent; once nioro
tho light, quick, cutting blow, But the
trlgonocephalus is blind, Is Htupelled;
before ho can attempt to coll pussy has
leaped upon him, nailing the horrible
Hat head to the ground with her two
sinewy pawa. Now let him lash, writhe,
twine, strive to strangle her. In vain!
He will never lift his head: an instant
nnjro and ho lies still; tho keen white
teeth of the cat have severed the ver
tebra, Just behind tho triangular skull.
Little Chance for Him.
Thoy tel this story on a Western tele
graph operator;
Jlo was trying to call up a small town,
whero tho oillco was In cliargo of a
young woman, and for some reason ho
couldn't raise her, Ho was about to give
up n despair when another operator
broke in with tho inquiry, "What do you
want?"
"I want Miss Brown, of AVcllsburg,"
was tho reply. "I'vo been trying to gut
her for tho last half hour."
"That'H nothing," roturned tho inter
rupting operator. 'Ther's a young fel
low clerking In a dry goods store there
who's been trying to get her for tho last
two years, and ho hasn't succeeded yet."
