It's a very common thing to see a cat perambulalng along a backyard fence in the mellow light of the moon, but it's rarely you see the feline walking a taut wire- before the footlights. Luella Mon tague has a cat which walks a tight rope at the Baker Theater this week, and she has other cats which do things quite as , remarkable as the tight rope Walker. There Is the 'brave little fellow who Jumps through a hoop of Are and Foxy Quiller, the clown, who wins many a hearty laugh by his comical antics. "A funny thing about my cats,' said Mlsst Montague yesterday, "Is the fact that, not Infrequently they do things they have never been taught to do and the audience takes it for granted that the act was part of -the regular bill. "For Instance, one night while Pudge, the big brown Persian who walks the tight rope, resolutely stepping over the tempting white, mice which are placed in his path, was' about to perform his act, one of the mice fell off the rope. Quick as a flash Pudge bounded off, the rope In pursuit of the runaway mouse. He caught il and made a quick meal of It.. Then he calmly resumed his place on the rope and went on with the act as If nothing had happened." HE WON THE. GOVERNOR. Here Is a brand new story' about' the bluff and "hearty ex -Governor Hogg of Texas. - The' ex-governor Is one of the new millionaires of the Beaumont ' oil fiei Ha made early investments jthare and has reaped a rich harvest. He has been at Beaumont lately looking after his interests. At the hotel at Beaumont his particular waiter , Was one George, a aabI4-skinned gentleman of numerous ac- 1 compllshments. George is a model waiter. The governor valued htm highly. Each tJay at dinner George received from the i governor his tip; . George irevled In wealth. H was J the envied of' all "the other waiters. He was the happy posses sor of a. "good things The etnar day when the Governor en- tared the aining room t strange darkey stood : behind . his chair. "Where's George?"' asked the governor brusquely. The new waiter bowed low. "Iee-rouh waiter, now,, sah," he 'said softly. "But Where's , George." again asked the gov ernor. Again -his new retainer assured him: 1se yonih walwhjnow." The .gov ernor looked-"up from his newspaper sharply,. He was somewhat mystified and with Increased " emphasis demanded to know where Gedrge was, anyhow: , "Welf,-'0 -see, sah," said the new comer with some hesitation; "Gawge and 1 was out las' night playln' craps. Gawge went, broke; .1 won bis pile. Then" here his voice dropped lower and hts manner vu confidential-''!! put you up agin three dollah and I won.

Criminals to be successful are now forced to adopt many novel schemes. Edward St. Clair, .now an Inmate at the county Jail. Is the latest to attempt a new pusale for the local police. Being without work or money, he looked around for something to steal. Seeing nothing on the streets which seemed easy, he looked for some business building " in which he could make a 'touch." He knew to be found prowling about without any excuse would be bad, so .he hit upon a novel plan. Selecting the building in which the Marsh Printing Company is located, he drew up the following piece of "copy"! "High-Class Artist In Every Respect. "Haxel Von, serlo comic, makes special ty of soubrette work. All business com munications should be addressed to Ed ward St. Clair, manager." "On the road 190..." With this In hand he boldly ascended the stairs and approaching Manager Grubbs made an agreement for the print ing of a certain number of letter heads containing the announcement. He want ed to "see a friend" before the work was commenced, .however, and would retrun shortly and pay for the work In advance He then disappeared. So did Mr. Grubbs' wheel. The wheel was recovered and St. Clair Is now dojng 30 days In the prison. MARIE ANTOINETTE'S ,BATH. Today there is a different bath as a panacea for almost every 111. If a woman la overwrought and tired, she has a bath prepared in such a way .that It soothes the nerves. Another bath acts as an in vlgoratlng tonic; or there la a bath to make her thin, to make her fat, and the one whose sole purpose Is to beautify To soothe the nerves and renew life try an aromatic or Marie Antoinette bath thus named because It was prescribed for the queen by her physician. She took It cold In summer and tepid In winter. This Is the recipe: Take a pound of thyme, sweet marjoram, hyssop, mint. sage, rosemary, borage, crushed rice. crushed barley: boil In two quarts of wa ter, adding a handful of salt. Strain and add the liquid to the bath, . Lait virginal la a preparation for the bath, which is also restorative and buoying. It requires rose water, two ounces; tincture of myrrh, two ounces; tincture benzoin, two ounces; essence of citron, two dr&hms. this being the proportion for two quarts of water. When the Persian takes an aromatic bath the tub Is lined with a linen sheet gored so as to fit the tub. The bath bag. containing many aromatic Ingredients, herbs, spices and perfumes. Is thrown In, and the tub being filled almost to the edge, the bather gets In and stays there until she is perfumed through and through. A cologne bath acts as an In vigorating tonic; so does a lavender bath only In a lesser degree. The lavender Is crushed and left for three dffys in white wine vinegar, then strained and bottled and 'used ' as' needed. Verbena leaves, plucked and thrown Into an earthenware Jar of distilled water, left for two days and then strained and added to a little alcohol In which rose leaves have been steeped. Is also a refreshing preparation. .St. Louis Republic. . CORONATION CANARD. ; A number of silly stories have been published about the dresses and regalia ordered for the coronation by certain peeresses tof American birth who have married English noblemen, says the Tat ler. According to one journal circulating among the masses in America the Duchess of Marlborough has ordered a coronet which is to cost 250,000 pounds and to rival fn splendor the crown worn by the Empress Josephine. The absur dlty of thltf fiction 19' apparent to every body on th)s side of the . herring pond. seeing that the earl marshals' relations explicitly state that coronets are to be niadS of s!1ver-gtlt without jewels or precious stones.

Oft February 1 they notified the em ployers that they must bava 10 hours nay for nine hours' labor; that they must b recognised as k unlonr that no non union men' should be permitted' to work about the mills, and that certain other minor, cenoesslons should be granted them. The employers were, given until May 1 to. comply with ths terms. As yet the union has received no official reply ffom the mill owners as to what they In tend to do about It; but the matter is not being allowed to rest here: - The members of the Amalgamated Woodworkers' Union are . strengthening their ranks almost every day and pre paring to make a determined and vic torious btruggle. At their meeting Wed nesday night 13 new members were Ini tiated; making now considerably over 200 men who belong to the union. A planing mill employe said today: "By May 1 we will have In our union nearly every woodworker In the city, and therefore, we cannot help but win. We and gaining strength every day, and the proprietors' will certainly be obliged to come' t our terms, which are not un rcasnnable. One of the principal ' things they r object to Is the recognition of the union. Then they Also state that of they grant the nine-hour day that they will be unable to compete with the various sawmills whose employes are required to work 10 hours a day. They will be able lo compete with them because they gave um an illustration of the fact about threa years age. At that time we worked but 10 hours, while the sawmill men put in 11 hours a day, and the planing mill em ployers did a flourishing business. They can do so again.

The No-Shave Neck Club held Its weekly tegytta at No. , North Third street Saturday night. The secrttary read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were approved. He read a communication signed by Halroll Benton. Shampoo Peterson, atro pine Maglnnis and several others pur porting to represent the Barbers' Union. These gentlemen worked themselves Into qujte a h.ther. They protested against (he No-Shave ffeck Club as a useless 8ik1 uncalled-for organization. As the secretary finished reading, the president, Whiskers McCarty, asked: "What is the pleasure of the meeting?" "I move," said Pompadour Olson, "that Ihe communication be returned to the writers with the request that the same be mnde more definite and certain. This was seconded and unanimously carried. At this juncture something happened. The Inner Guurd dragged the struggling forni of Pomatum Jackson, a non-Union harber, up to the front. It was ascer tained that he had been caught evesdrop ping at the keyhole. His Identification was complete, for In his hip pocket was found a pair of clippers together with a bunch of cards on which was printed a confidential Invitation to patrons.'' Mr. Jackson, In short, extended the Invitation thereon to lils. friends to come and get their necks shaved at his joint for 2 cents "each. This was a hard undercut on the union schedule. The club decided that It. , had no Juris diction In the matter and so allowed Jack son to go, after confiscating a bottle of bay rum and one of witch haxel, which he had carelessly left In his overcoat pocket in the ante room. There being no further business before the meeting, adjournment was taken for one week, after which the members de voted themselves to 'social Intercourse. All felt perfectly at home. With' de lightful abandon, coats and vests and col lars and neckties were removed and each one present examined with much pleasure the neck of his neighbor. It was 'the unanimous opinion of all that their spinach and sprouts were doing finely and that in time each one would have a mane that would rival that of a Hon. After anointing each other on the neck with a liberal dose of vaseline, according to the beautiful provisions of the ritual, the membersto,f the club, tweaking each other by the beard or mustache.

Every morning he tukes a spin on the road for five or six miles, and on returning goes at the punch ing bag for a brief spell. Should he sign to fight any one, and he is open to the world at 112 pounds, he will only need a few finishing touches to show up In as good condition as he was ever In.

The match between Broad and Yanger will be fought either at Appleton, Wis., or at Louisville, with the chances of Its being pulled off at "the former place. Neither town has been definitely decided upon yet. Every boxer in one Chicago club, even to the cheapest preliminary man, will be required to put up a substantial cash for relt, so that the Incessant excuses ot "hurt my hand'' and "not feeling well" will cost the pleaders something.

The Coroner held an Inquest Satur day afternoon, but the Jury, In the lace of the three .attorneys present, were rather timid In their delibera tions and refused to fix the blame, either on the County of Multnomah or the company operating the cara which killed Bonaccl. The street car company, had the most witnesses on hand to testify, but little not hereto fore published was developed. It was shown that the rails connect ing the stationary portion of the bridge with the draw were out of alignment, and when car 34 went on the draw its. trailer jumped the tracks and crashed into car No. 43, upon the nlatform of which Bonaccl was stand ing. Ills legs were crushed and he lied later from hemorrhage and the attendant shock. Engineers on railway trains In go ing into "yards" or passing points wherrseveral tracks meet; always go slow and are very careful to see that fhe switches are rightly placed. In the future the motormen of the Port land City & Oregon Railway Com pany may take the pains to see whether thev run onto an open draw or keep on their own rails. WHAT N&fT.

' Many of the most dignified gentlemen of society were attired as girl babies, and Iti6tlly wielded bottles of champagne In stead of milk. There was baby talk and baby walk, and1 all sorts of Infantile amusements, but the feature of the even ing was the cotillion danced by 20 couples.
