The Santo Domingans seem to have no more use for a cash book than a Tam- many treasurer has. THE FOO PERIL, Experts in waterside meteorology assert that the fog fwhich has obstructed harbor traffic during the past two days had an exceptionally dense and cohesive character. In this respect it seems to have resembled the tra- + ditional London fog, which is rendered more obnoxious @nd dangerous by the admixture of that fine soot which 4s the chief product of soft coal consumption, 4 As New York is almost entirely surrounded by water sit is more dependent on its water traffic than any other * HAsult of using eoft coal the harbor should be Infested great city, It would be a severe blow to the city if asa With fogs of the London description, wi It is not at all likely, however, that the possibility sot this injury to the city will have the slightest effect eam inducing the Coal Trust barons to come to terms with | | | their men, Auction Buryains.—A Brooklyn boarding-house keeper ¥ sold at auction for $400| her tl luck until she became insane and a suicide.

MeIntyre drew in the plank and annexed her, although she wrote monograms on him with her claws. There was a Family Gathering in the Flat Across the ‘shaft that evening, The MoIntyres could hear subdued merriment, which later was mingled with anxious calls for “Kitty.” But Kitty obeyed not. She was being metamor- phosed into something new and strange. About 10 o'clock McIntyre cautiously replaced the plank. Under his arm he held a struggling Apparition, It had once been a Cat, Now it was a Horror. The groundwork of its fur was a brilliant pink that glowed and flushed like a $4,% oll-painted sunset. Bars of vivid blue and of pale chorus- girl gold alternated with irregular patches of the original color. The head was peroxide blond, with scarlot ears and green whiskers. Each paw was a different hue and the tail was phosphorescont. 'The cat was atirredi up to fury and yearned for home. She crossed that plank like @ troop of horse.
