CAT AND PARROT. A Suggestion of the Monkey and Parrot Yarn. A friend of Theophile Gautier's who was going away for a short time asked him during his absence to take charge of a favorite green parrot. To this the amiable Theo. readily assented, but he was unable lo inform the then reigning cat of the expected addition to the household.

Consequently, when, after the parrot's arrival, the cat came as usual into den, it was not a little surprised to find the parrot established then on Its perch at the top of a pole. Surprise, says Gautler, who saw the whole scene, presently gave way to other emotions, since the cat plainly said to itself: "Why, this is a green fowl! This Is a delicacy I have never with before. This is most interesting, ana, doubtless, will be most delicious!" Gau tier, ready to come to the rescue if necessary, still observed, while the cat watched the parrot with eager eyes and the parrot watched the cat with a very uneasy expression. Presently the cat made up Its mind definitely, crouched, made a spring, and alighted actually on the parrot's perch. The green fowl, however, was equal to the occasion.

It turned on the cat, saying in a deep bass voice: "Jacquet, have you had breakfast?" The cat jumped backward as If a pistol had been fired past Its ear. All its ideas as to the bird part of creation were upset. The parrot continued: "What dirt, you have? Why. the king's roast." On this the cat clearly said to itself. "I have made a mistake.

This is not a bird at all. It is a gentleman. Only hear him talk!" The parrot, seeing his advantage, proceeded to sing a couplet at the top of his voice. This was the iast blow. The cat cast a despairing look at Theo, and then hid itself for the rest of the day under a bed.

"Those." says Gau tier, "who have not lived in Intimacy with animals may think that the interpretation ot the feelings of the cat and the parrot Is an effort of my Imagination." Well, I for one am sure that he read the signs exactly aright. The great French author adds 'that the cat tried once again, with exactly the same result as before, and then gave It up. accepting It as fact that the parrot was really a human being. London Mail.

BRADBURY. Salesrooms, 500 FULTON ST Factory, 774 76 78 Fulton St HENRY SHAGKLEFORD DAVIS II Held on a Charge of Obtaining Money on a Worthless Check. IS WELL KNOWN IN BROOKLYN And Was at One Time an Assistant Dis trict Attorney in This County. London, October 4 Henry "Shackleford Davis, an American lawyer, was remanded in a police court here to day on the charge of obtaining money by means a worth less check. Davis, who said he had just arrived from South Africa, asserted that he cashed the check in order to get home to America.

Only this morning he had received a letter from a banker notifying him that $125 had been cabled to his credit by relatives In America, and he asked that he be allowed to pay the claim and take the first steamer home. The magistrate, remarking that the check was taken from a stolen checkbook, although he was not aware who stole it, remanded the prisoner. Henry Shackleford Davis lives in Brooklyn His home is with his mother. Mrs. Shirley Shackleford.

at Remseu street. Several years ago Davis, then a young lawyer, was an assistant district attorney in office of Colonel Fellowes, the District Attorney of Aciv York City. At thai time he was consid ered a bright young member of the legal profession, bu'. semen hat erratic. Davis was also a member of the District Attorney's staff in Kings County in 1SB7 while Foster L.

Backus was in office. This is not the first time that Davis has been featured in the newspapers, however He was married last Spring and against his mother's wishes. Davis fell deeply in love with a young woman who lives in the Bed ford section of Brooklyn. Hearing that his mother was opposed to the match, Davis and his fiancee were quietly wedded and were away on their honeymoon Mrs. Shackleford learned of it.

With character istic promptness Davis' mother, who is a lawyer, began an action to annul the mar riage on the groundof incapacity. This suit, Mrs. Shackleford says, is still pending. Shortly after this marriage the young cou pie separated and Davis went to South Af rica. While there he was taken seriously ill, and' upon, recovery immediately set out for home by way of London.

Mrs. Shackleford. Davis' mother, was seen at her home last night by an Eagle reDOrter. She was greatly shocked to hear of her son's plight In London, as she understood by his re cent letters that he was to be on. the ocean bound for New York by thi: time.

"I am loth to believe it is true," she said, for I received a letter from him today and he wrote that he would get here as scon as the letter did. I can say nothing about his being arrested for it is a great sur prise and a great shock to me. Mrs. Shackleford said that she knew little of her son's movements in South Africa ex cept as contained in his letters home, but she knew that he had money in London. PASTIME A.

C. GAMES FURNISH GOOD SPORT. M. J. Sheridan of the Pastime Athletic Club was the hero at the annual fall games.

The games were to have taken place on September 21, hut were postponed, and in spite of the dreariness of the weather, a large numbe rof spectators gathered to see the contests, which were all exciting and most of which ended in' close finishes. The games were started in a drizzling rain, which came down at intervals during the afternoon. A strong wind was blowing.

The three mile run was expected to be the feature of the came, hut it laelrod in terest on account of the failure of "Jerry" Pierce, the Indian runner, to appear. With Pierce out, John Joyce of the Pastime, was expected to carry off first honors, but the best he could do was to come in second.

(Spclal to the Eagle.) Goshen, N. October 4 The eighth an nual exhibition of the Orange County Horse Show began under unfavorable circum stances. Rain fell during part of the morn ing, and continued until 2 o'clock, but the exhibition was carried out as planned and with little discomfort. The weather, however, kept Sown the at tendance, only about half of the eight thousand spectators expected venturing out. Considering the day, this number was not regarded as small.

The exhibition was held at the Goshen Driving Park, which Is situated in the heart of the village, surrounded by churches and court buildings on one side and hills on the other. In It is the "historic half mile track," where for many years a long series ot famous races have been run. The field to day was covered with dinlne and reception tents, and. in spite of the gloomy weather, was a pretty scene. One of the features of the day was the dinner given to tne larmers over whoso property hunts with hounds are run by the orange uounty nunc uiuo.

The notable parts of the show were the exhibitions of Grattan Boy and John R. Gentry, whose appearance was greeted with hearty applause, and the spirited mile trotting race in the special speed competition class between Charles C. Loyd's Malzour and Elsie owned by the Arden Farms. Among tnose wno were prize winners were the Misses Harriman and the De Cernea Stables, of New York City. PRIZE BABIES At FAIR.

Well Known People Brave the Bain lor Close of Westchester Horse Sho w. In a downpour of rain yesterday a large number of well known people went early to the Fair Grounds at White Plains for the closing of the tenth annual exhibition of the Westchester Horse Show Association. Coaching parties, well protected by gossamers, braved the bad weather, and by noon the parking spaces and the stands in front of the exhibition ring were filled. Coaching parties ate their luncheons and ipped their wine on the top of coaches, from Improvised tables, in the rain. While class 3B, In which several misses exhibited their favorite ponies, was on the rain came down in torrents, drenching the children to the kin and marring the appearance of the dainty costumes and picture hata which they ore.

The managers pronounce the exhibi tion the most successful ever held by the association. The closing feature of the fair was the an nual baby show, which brought together more than one hundred crying, kicking and laughing infants from nearly every town in the county. Before tne gates were thrown open there were mothers, with Infants in their arms, clamoring for admission. There were American, German, Italian and Hebrew babies. Superintendent Edward B.

TRICA RETURNED TO SICILY. Vachris Has Not Given TJp Hope of Bringing the Murderer to Justice. The police have not as yet given up hope of solving the mystery of the murder of Giuseppe Catania, the grocer of 167 Columbia street, whose body with the head almost severed, was found In a bag on the shore road at fort Hamilton in July last, and it is ex pected oefore the week end there will be interesting developments In the case. Detective Sergeant Antonio Vachris. who worked on the case from the beginning, has been in communication with the police of Palermo concerning the life or Catania in bis home in Sicily and the supposition that his death was due to the thirst, for vengeance that is an instinct with all Sicilians against informers Is growing stronger the more the police Investigate the case.

The story was told at the time of 'the murder that Catania had given information something over twenty years ago which had resulted in sending some of his townsmen to jail for twenty years. It was believed and is still believed, that his mysterious murder was committed either by these men or their agents who came to Brooklyn from Sicily for the purpose. The police have found that Vincenzo Trica, who was arrested at the time of the murder as a suspect, soon afterward returned to 1 alermo, from whence he came. There was nothing against Trica, really, but Mb arrest was the outcome of tho investigation by the police. The fact that be had had trouble with the murdered man uj.

me ounnay betore his final disappearance was regarded as a suspicious circumstance and then the additional fact was learned that Trica had made up with him on the day preceding his disappearance. The members of the family of Catania had a notion that maybe Trica was In some wav Involved In the murder. It is known that his present movements In Sicily are the subject of some investigation by members of Catania's family who are still in Sicily. But there is no one here rash enough to say that Trica had anything to do with the murder. It is believed that others were concerned in It and that If they did not immediately return to Sicily they managed to get back to their homes there.

The local police have given the public prosecutor of Palermo all the facts in the case, and it is known that the officials there are earnestly trying to get some information for the police concerning certain suspects that may reauu witnin a very short time in a number of arrests. There seems to be a popular movement on foot just now In Palermo against the Mafia and there is a strong suggestion In this case that some mafiosa accomplished the death In far away Brooklyn of Grocer Catania. It Is only a comparatively short time since there was a conviction in Palermo against an official who was regarded as one of the head centers of the Mafia. This was Slgnor Palizzolo, who was convicted of the murder of Signor Notor bartolo in Palermo. The result of the casi was a blow to the Mafia which is purely a Sicilian Institution.

The Brooklyn police believe that now the excitement following the Palizzolo trial has subsided some time will be given by the police of Palermo ir. following up certain Information which has been sent to them about the Catania case from Brooklyn. The local police are convinced from recent developments that the murder of the grocer was the work of the Mafia, an organization which, as the Pall Mall Gazette recently declared, permeates every branch of activity oicny. tne members of the Mafia are to be found in every rank of society, although It has no regular organization, no recognized leaders and no fixed code of laws. Its chief principle is that no honest man should ever give any information to the authorities which may lead to the arrest ot a criminal.

If a man has sustained an injury from another, according to the laws of the Mafia he must do his own justice. If the crime does not affect him he must shield the criminal from the authorities. No offense, according to the mafliosi, is more disgraceful than taking the part of an informer and that, according to the local police, is what Catania did and that is why he was so cruelly murdered. There are two grades of mafiosi in Palermo, the ricottari and the mafiosi proper. The ricottari belong to the lower orders and It Is among them that the nollee exnect to find the men who murdered the unfortunate crooKiyn grocery man.

The police are reticent about the matter just now and are unwilling to give out all the facts in their possession. But it Is understood that they are hopeful of some degree of success in the case, and that within a very few days there will be some Interesting information. A PRAYING BOG. Learned a Lesson His Owner Had Forgotten. "Down in a rum shop in the old quarter the other evening I came acrosss a praying dog," said an observant man, "and he was not a dog one would have picked out as being at all pious, for he was rather a tough looking member.

He was a bull dog, rather mangy looking, with big, red, hairless splotches on his head and body, and he was really a cheap, low down piece of dog flesh so far as appearances went. His master was a long, lean, lank, dissipated looking man, with a wild, reckless cast of countenance, just the kind of fellow, in fine, that one would be inclined to dodge in a barroom; but the dog seemed to like him, the man seemed to suit him, and when the poor dog was not carrying out the instructions of his master he was rubbing his head against his master's leg, and otherwise giving evidence of his devotion. The dog was well trained. He had learned to do a great many little things that would amuse men who are In the habit of whjling away their time In barrooms. The fact was, the dog's owner took a peculiar delight in showing even strangers what his dog could do, how he had trained hint to perform, and all that sort of thing.

"After he had carried the dog through the course pretty well he yelled out to htm I Say your prayers. The dog looked at him for a second as if he wanted to be excused, and it was a long, pleading, patjiatic look, but the master did not heed it. 'Say your he said again, sternly. The dog throw his paws up on an old empty beer keg, burled his red, rough looking face as nearly as he could between his mangy fore I feet, and then began a low, murmuring growl, as if repeating something he had been taught to say. 'Say said the man with the dissipated look, and the dog raised his voice to a higher key and, as nearly as he could, said Then he pulled his paws off the beer keg.

put them on the floor again and looked wistfully at his master. "It was a pathetic sort of thing, and I was just wondoring if the man hadn't learned his log a which he, with a superior rclnJ. had forgot." New Orleans Tlmes Demccra THE CHICAGO DAY DINNER.

Four cars were stalled on the switch and all the windows in them were broken. The trouble was precipitated by the calling of a mass meeting by the Federation of Labor. This brought out an ennrmnna crowd.

No attempt is being made to run the cars, and. it being evident the police were unable to cope with the situation, the sheriff was appealed to and he asked aid of the milltln. It. was thought several more strikers would go back to work Monday, but this demonstration may make a change. One of the non union employes named Curler of Brooklyn, left his car as the stones were coming too thick for him.

Th it ob seized him. and he is In a serious condition, under the care of a physician. SCANDINAVIAN NEWS.

Coler. ONE BIG PICTURE DISPLAYED.

The Whole State Ticket Indorsed by Resolution Prospects in Various Districts. With considerable enthusiasm and a few digs at the Republican party the Democrats of Kings County iast night placed William E. Melody, ex commissioner of jurors and leader of the Fifth Assembly District, in nomination for the office of sheriff. The popularity of the candidate was attested by cheers and a long roll of applause whenever his name was mentioned and the delegates appeared to think that whatever happens to the rest of the ticket he will be elected by a big majority. Behind Chairman Balribrldge at the rear of the stage in Jefferson Hall, there was a picture of the Democratic candidate for Governor.

Bird S. Coler. This picture was remarkable chiefly for its size, being about 9x12 feet. It was lithographed, along with many thousands of other pictures of the candidate of various shanes and sizes, be fore the Saratoga convention had made Mr. Coler the Democratic candidate.

Another of the big lithographs will be on ex William E. Melody. The Democratic Candidate for Sheriff. hibition at the Y. M.

C. A. meeting this afternoon, where Mr. Coler is to speak with Evangelist C. H.

Yatman. Other pictures flank the stage on either side. The delegates gazed at them without remark, while the routine business of the convention went on. The gubernatorial candidate's name was mentioned three times by speakers. The first time it was applauded a good deal, the second a little, the third not at all.

Until just before adjournment it looked as If the convention, was going to for get to indorse the state ticket and platform But Denis Winter, leader of the Twentieth who took a Parker delegate to Saratoga, re membered the duty of the Democracy In time and handed up this resolution which was adopted without dissent: "Resolved, By this county convention, representing the United Democracy of the County of Kings, that we unanimously ratify and Indorse the platform adopted by the Democratic state convention at Saratoga, on October .1, 1902, and that we further unanimously ratify and indorae the nominees of the said convention, beaded, by our own fellow citizen and fellow worker in the ranks of Democracy, the Hon. Bird S. Coler, Its nominee for governor: The zeal, cour age and ability with which our candidate for governor discharged the onerous dutiea of controller of the City of New York in a try ing time is the best guarantee that could he given that his execution of the office of gov ernor of the great State of New York would extend his fame as an honest and fearless public official. "Resolved, That we pledge our undivided support to the other nominees of the convention, as follows: for Lieutenant Governor Charles N. Bulger, of Oswego; Secretary of oiate, rranK Mott, of Chautauaua: Control ler, Charles M.

Preston, of Ulster; Attorney General, John Cununeen, of Erie; State En gineer and surveyor. Richard W. Sherman of Oneida; State Treasurer. George B. Finch, oi warren, ana tor Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals, John C.

Gray, of New that we will give to them, as to i.ue tduumaie tor governor, all our energies until the close of the polls to, the end that cl.f. Ji hi.icl tuny ue iiiumpaantiy elected un ine iourtn or jNovember next." Chairman Balnbridge of the countv mittee made a short Bpeech in opening the in men ne saia tnat the chosen leader and candidate for" Governor, Bird 8 Coler, was a guide and pattern to be followed In making the county nominations. Sanders Shanks was then elected permanent chairman. Mr. Shanks made a hit when he said that he was sure of one thing: The next Demo cratic uovernor wouia not nave to remove the nominee of the convention when he was elected snerin.

W. Harvey Sefton was elected secretary mu uuoiiaauuns tor snerin were immediate called for. Henry Riegelman made the nominating speecn ior mr. meioay. tie said mat the candidate public services and high charac ter made him a strong candidate, and that he would be elected by a big majority.

"No body," said Mr. Riegelman, "need ask how people will vote when combinations of capitalists are dally closing up the avenues ot competition and the coal barons have their grasp on nature resources. "Gambling and vice," said Mr. Riegelman, "are more rampant now than ever before In the history of this city. John Doe Is still large.

By accusing the last Democratic administration, a motley horde of political backs got control of the city. The people have found that they got a gold brick. The Republican party of this county played into our hands when It made Guden sheriff. The Republican machine governor would never have removed him if he had a chance to save him. He removed him in the fear of public sentiment." Adjournment was taken after the appointment by Chairman Shanks of the following committee to nil any vacancy on the ticket that may occur: Nineteenth District, Bernard Ruoff Sev enth, George Vanderveer; Third; Gottlieb Haussler; Tenth, Daniel M.

Kelley; Twenty first, Theodore Eppit. Talk among the delegates after the ad journment showed that Bird S. Color's in terests are being caretuuy consulted In the Willoughby street Assembly nominations, they have been' In the' Congressional and Senatorial nominations, according to the selections noted in yesterday's Eagle. So far as possible the leaders have aimed to renominate present incumbents in these offices. who had strength enough to win In the disappointing elections of 1900 and 1901.

Lindsay. Wilson ana Fitzgerald have been chosen again for Congress under this rule, and Cullen, McCabe, McCarren and Wagner the Senate. Their candidacies will fortify the Democratic vote in' their districts and nominations or equal popularity In the Assembly districts are expected to give local enthusiasm to the state ticket. James Kane has announced that Assemblyman James J. Mclnerney will be renominated the Third iThe Third has lo3t none of its antipathy to Candidate Coler, which was so forcibly exhibited at Saratoga, the leaders there are saying nothing about it.

Mclnerney may be expected, It is said, to make it as Interesting for Governor Coler if it comes to that in the next Legislature as ex Commissioner Kane can wish. there will no open break with Coler before election in the Third, according to the guess of the leaders. For the Assembly either Edward B. Chapman or Isaac Tuck will probably be nom at a of of EDUCATIONAL GOSSIP. Incidents and Happenings Which Furnish Material for Comment.

Interest just now centers about the discussion of the advisability of a paid president for the Board of Education. So many have been the complaints regarding one of tne departments or another and such was the failure of the repairs for local schools that many of the members of the board believe that the time has come when there should be a pald? head to look after the business affairs of the department as well as a paid superintendent of instruction. Tha discussion has not been confined to the members of the Board of Education, but has met with approval from Controller Grout, who unhesitatingly declares that there must be a paid head, who shall take care of the business end. A1? present this duty devolves upon the superintendents of the departments of supplies and buildings and the auditor. Deputy Superintendent Ross of the Build ing Department for the Borough of Brooklyn stated yesterday afternoon that the repairs In all of the school buildings, with the possible exception of No.

90, would be completed on Monday morning next and the scholars would be able to study and recite without being annoyed by the presence of workmen. Public School No. 90 will be ready about the middle of the week. Superintendent Simmons of the department of supplies has laid in a supply of wood as a precaution against a short cold snap. His idea Is that a good fire can be started so as to take the chill oft the building and at the same time save burning coal.

Coal is being delivered regularly under contract in Manhattan and the Bronx, but at any moment the department expects to receive word that the cotractor will be unable to supply any more. Brooklyn is getting no coal at all and the local schools will have to get along with what they have got. In order, however, that none of the local schools will have to close coal will be transported from Manhattan. If worst comes to worst, all of the schools will be closed and not only a few in the different parts of the city. An examination for licenses to teach in the high schools will be held on Monday and Tuesday, October 13 and 14, on the fourth floor ot the Hall of Education on Park avenue and Fifty ninth street.

The examination on October 13 will be upon the science of education while the examination on the following day will be upon the several subjects, in one of which each applicant will be examined. The subjects are: English, history, economics, Latin, Greek, French, German. Spanish, mathematics, physiology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography and physiography, mental sciences, drawing, music, physical training, commercial subjects and stenography and typewriting. The examination Is only open to applicants for the following licenses: Clerical assistant, library assistant, junior teacher and assist ant teacher. Dr.

Maxwell has assured the various principals in the city schools that they may retain their old visitors' books, but must use the new books hereafter. Dr. Maxwell says: "It is not the Intention of the Board of Superintendents to withdraw from the schools the old visitors' books. The old ones may be retained, but hereafter the new book must be The Board of Superintendents has not as yet taken up for discussion the. matter of the nomination of a new district superintendent.

There has been considerable gossip about the nomination by members of the board, but as they have no say as to who will be nominated such gossip is only idle talk. Whomsoever Dr. Maxwell sees fit to recommend for the place will be nominated and at the present time the indications are the nominee will be Dr. Stltt of Manhattan. In view of the antagonism in the Board of Superintendents to women superintendents, the effort to secure the place for a woman seems doomed to failure.
