THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. TUESDAY, SEPT. 1 New York News Letter NEW YORK, October 31. There will soon be mounted in one of New , York's famous museums alongside the statue of Sysonby, the country's greatest race horse, the body of the most famous cat which this city has ever known. The honor which is to be accorded to the feline is due not only to the fact that she lived through a number of accidents, any one of which should have proven fatal, but because she demonstrated actually and for (he first time that a cat has nine lives. In comparison to her the cat that did various things in the house that Jack built will be no where, and under her stuffed body Trill be a sign "the first cat to die nine authentic deaths." So far as fame has to do with this cat her career began recently when she was observed chas ing a rat along one of the city streets. She was likewise being chased by a crowd of boys one of whom threw a paving stone which hitting her on the lead killed hec. She arose from the first death, however, and true to her Instincts pursued the rat. The latter ran up a flight of stairs leading to the elevated railroad tripping up a corpu lent woman who fell on the cat quashing her and killing her for a second time. The cat arose again, however, and continued the chase. When the elevated platform was rea ched the cat was knocked cold by a kick intended for the rat and then placed in a garbage can. From this third death she revived, and the rat laving remained immovable through terror pursued him on to the elevated tracks. At this point Tabby was shot hy a policeman and killed for the fourth time, but again arose and fi nally grabbed the rat. In the strug gle she fell on the third rail, carrying a current -which has killed many men, thus acounting for her fifth death. The shock knocked her through the rails to the street below accounting for her sixth death, where her seventh took place through being run over by a street car in front of which she fell. Her eighth life was given up to a dog which grabbed her in his mouth and last to the bullet of a policeman who tied to shoot the dog. All her adven tures will be tabulated beneath her stuffed body in the museum where she will represent the first actual proof of the right of a cat to nine lives. Tonsorial artists, otherwise the bar Bers of the state of New York, in sol emn conclave assembled, have not onlX prescribed the fashion in whiskers for the coming year but have taken a cen sus of various hirsute adornments and declared war on various kinds of creepers. The only proper face adorn ment for the coming season, if the ton sorial mandates are correct, will be a Kaiser Wilhelm mustache with a very - small chin 'beard resembling the Hughes adornment will be considerel correct. In the research line the most important discovery was that of the asparagus beard, which it is asserted, nourishes on Long Island. This dec-; eration takes the form of a thin and sstraggling appendage to chin and is declared to be extremely bad form ev en in rural communities. A sustained effort is to be made in favor of clean shaven faces, and war is declared on the safety razor. The latter is asser ted to be an instrument the use of which requires neither skill nor fin esse. It is regarded by professionals as an abomination and it is rumored that an attempt will be made to re strict its use for exceeding the razor Emit, just as it is proposed to prose cute all persons wearing the asparagus beard for exceeding the whisker limit. As a matter of statistics however the tonsorial trade is advancing by leaps and bounds. Twenty years ago sev en men out of ten had their faces cov ered with whiskers. Today only two out of ten do so, and it is freely pre dicted that in ten years more a man in New York who is not clean-shaven will be a curiosity, not to say a mon strosity. New York's most famoiis confidence man, popularly known as Hungry Joe, who died six years ago has again re turned to Broadway.. He is now nei ther a ghost nor a swindler, but one of the most celebrated cases with which the central office has ever had to deal. As a reader of his own ob ituaries he has already joined the class of Mark Twain and Admiral Rojest vensky. Hungry Joe is really a rel ic of ante-bellum days since he be gan his occupation as a confidence, man in 1861. He has swindled such famous men as Oscar Wilde, Judge Noah Davis, General John A. Logan, Charles Francis Adams, and many oth ers. He has also gone under almost as many aliases as the number of his victims, and by many 'he is regarded as the original gold brick man of New York. His re'al name is Joseph Ab aca aad be is probably the only man 1 who ever fooled the.. New .York .po lice into believing him dead when he was not. He has served several terms in prison the last of which was in the Maryland State Penitentiary from which he was released in 1S98. Shor tly afterward notice of his death ap peared in all the prominent papers in the country and after due investigation Ins photograph was withdrawn from the Rogues Gallery which it had adorned for nearly a third of a century. His recent appear ance on Broadway however brought to light one of the most famous crimi nal hoaxes in history. "Hungry Joe" did not die in 1898 and the notices in various papers were inserted by friends to cover ip his future. Now "Huncrv Joe has reformed and is leading a model life. Curiously enough his discovery on Broadway after he had been held dead for a decade was due to his peculiar and habitual unwil lingness to walk near to the building line, lie never passes the mouth of an alley or near a building and it was this peculiarity which lead to his dis covery. Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold. A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana,' writes: "Last year I su tiered tor three months with a summer cold so distressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symp toms of hay fever, and a doctor's prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed to only aggravate my case. Fortunately 1 insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar in the yellow package, and it quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley s Honey and Tar with the same success." T. F.
