New York, July 27.—When a cat be comes too defunct for further useful ness to whom does It belong? This question Is agitating three departments of the city of New York. The cat li becoming more and mope defunct ev ery minute and a certain fashionable apartment house In West Fifty-fifth street Is threatened with an exodus. The health department declares that any apartment bouse with fewer than ten families In It Is outside Its juris diction in the matter of removing such Has-been' cats. The tenement house department declares that the board of health must take charge of the case, and both departments put It up to the building department to decide. In the meantime,the janitor of the apartment hotel does not dare remove the cause of all this mlx-up because another law provides serious penalties and pains for such careless dlstribu lion of barren Island perquisites. The police department referred the matter to the building commissioner to decide. The building departments said that It has nothing to do with any tenement house after the brick, stone and steel are put together. NO OPPOSITION TO DR. F. M.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JESUS DINES WITH A PHARISEE )• By DR. G. A. BEATTIE LUKE xlv: 1-14 Golden Text—He that humblath him salf shall be exalted.—Luke 14: 11. The Incident recorded In this lesson occurred during the Perean ministry of (?hri»t, near the close of Hie life. One Sabbath n prominent Pharisee Invited Him to dine with him. Why he did so can only be conjectured, may be safely assumed that It was not to give Him social recognition or receive Instruction, or like Simon, th© leper, by this act egpresa hla gratitude, but for the sole purpose of entrapping Him. At this distance It looks like a plot had been laid. When the people make a dinner party It la customary to Invite those who are congenial and only those who are friends of the prin cipal guest. On this occasion the friends and followers of Jesus are not Invited, but those whorare His most relentless and bitter enemies, who, we are told, watched Hla every word and act. To eat bread on the Sabbath, as a guest, was a common thing. The only rule observed was that every thing was served cold, having been cooked on the previous day. As far as the record goes, Jesus never refused on Invitation to a meal anil once at least, In the case of Zaccheus, Invited himself. He embraced even - oppor tunity to reach and teach the people. He did so at the risk of being called a glutton. No matter whether He feasted or fasted, whether He spoke ■ ''ept silent, they found fault with B m. Among those present on this ore. Ion was a man who had the dropsy, not an Invited guest, but In the freedom of the Kaatem home, had come In through curiosity, or It may tie with desire to be healed. Or It may be bath day to keep It holy.” We need It for the physical rest and spiritual refreshment God designed It should give and we do no violence to Its spirit when we perform deeds mercy. Advice to tho Guests. Having silenced the Pharisees, Jesus would give some wholesome advice to tho guests. In our day when the king or the president of the .United States, with others who have been Invited, meet at a feaet, much care Is taken In' selecting the seats of the guests. Every one must be seated according to hla rank or position. But then seems there was a scramble for 'the highest seats. We are told the con ceit of rhe Jewish doctors of the law was Intolerable. Farrar quotes from the Talmud how. at a banquet of King Alexander Jnnneus, the rnbbl. Simon ben Shetarh, In spite of the presence of some great Persian satraps, had thrust himself at a table between the king and queen, *nnd when re buked for hla Intrusion, quoted In his defense Eccl. ir>:5, “Wisdom shall make thee alt among prlnres.” He tells them when they are at wedding not to select for themselves the highest seats, lest afterward they should be requested to take a lower seat and thus be humiliated, but to take a lower seat and afterward be In vlteil to go up higher. He that humlileth himself shall be exalted. These words express the eon tral truth of Christ's parable. Jlow of, ten It haa been llluetrated In the his. tory of the world In every department of life. The ambitious self-seeker has been turned down, while the modest, unselfish, humble man has been called up higher. The greatest men have that he was Induced by the friends been noted for their humility. Hu- of the Pharleee to make a test case, mlllty Is best for earth, nnd It Is the Jesus read their thoughts and silenced "passport to promotion Into the klng- them by asking them the question, 'Is dom of God,” because It Is the spirit It lawful to heal on the Hnbbath day?" * And when He had healed him, He silenced them ngnln by asking. "Which of you shall have an ass (better trans lation. son), or an ox nnd he fall In a pit will not straightway pull him out -on the Sabbath day?" This was not the first time their Sabbatharisnlsm had courted a controversy which always ended In their discomfiture. The others of that kingdom. This truth Is especially applicable to those who belong to that kingdom. Christ often applied It to His own dis ciples. He had told them that who ever would be greatest must be the servant of all. He llluetrated It by waahlng His disciples' feet. "Ile.eame not to be ministered unto but to min were: Th«t healing at Betheada. John S:10. The scene In the corn Held, Mark 22. Tlie healing of the withered hand, Matt. 12:10. _, The blind man at Blloam. John 9:14 | and of the paralytic • woman, Luke , later.” In the kingdom of God, the at mosphere Is one of love and unselfish ness and those who have most of this spirit are moat like Christ and reach the highest place.

She was not I Injured, but was terribly frightened, and was on the verge of a nervous col lapse when she reached the attorney's office. Mrs. Hartje left the court room In company with her constant friend and companion, Mrs. Alexander W. Slo cum. a neighbor, who haa seldom left her aide since her troubles began. Out side the.court-house there was a crowd I of probably a thousand curious people. most of them gathered just to get a look at the womnn who haa suffered so much notoriety. Just as s)ie reached the corner of the court-house a big fellow, who looked like an Iron worker, reached out from the crowd, and, catching Mrs. Hartjs by the arm, dragged her across the linvement, at the same time calling out loudly: "Come with me, Mary." With a acrenm of terror, Mrs. Hartje broke away from her aaaallant and started to run down the street to her attorney’s office, a block away. The crowd was an paralysed at the sudden and unexpected attack that not a hand was raised to Intercapt the man as he dodged tnrough and got away. Mrs. Slocum called for a policeman, and when one came running up she pointed out the wrong man. Tha man waa promptly arrested and taken to Mr. Freeman's office, where Mrs. Hart je had him set at liberty at one* by declaring he was not the man. During the walk to the attorney's offlea the crowd gathered about the omrer and his prisoner and wanted to beat the man. As soon as released, the man. Who waa terribly frightened, disap peared.
