"Oldest Cat in Brooklyn" Back- Driver xcith Aspirations. Jerry has returned, much to the- delight of his tnany friends, who thought he was dead. Je/Ty is said to be the oldest cat In Brooklyn, and has a wide acquaintance among the politicians and busi cess men In the vicinity of the Borough Hall. There are many who are willing to take affidavit that they knew Jerry twenty-five years ago. when he- was a kitten. Among them is Dr. Michael Connors, a dentist, who tells many stories about the life of the old tiger cat. In his youth Jerry's tome was In Hopper's undertaking establishment, at Ccurt and Joralemon .at*, far a whi?e ho reigned supreme, but flnjJiy a big black cat be came a member of the household, and. rather than taka a back seat. Jerry transferred his headquar ters to a cafe next door. There he made many friends. Nine years ago. when the place was given up, Jerry refused to leave It. A week later, when 3". F. Fox, the present proprietor of the cafe, took possession, he found Jerry almost starved to death. Careful nursing and a diet of hot milk soon restored the cat to his old self, and since that time Jerry has been one of the chief attractions of the cafe. The friends of Mr. Fox have been his friends and be has had the widest acquaintance Bjnonc public men in Brooklyn of any cat In the borough. It has been his habit in the warm weath er to visit the various public buildings in the vicin ity. Frequently h» paid visits to Hugh McLaugh lia. the old lKmoerat'.o leader, when the latter used to play dominos in the basement of the Borough Hall in the evening. Jerry is a most dis criminating cat and has a violent "dislike for per- Eons whom, bis master classes as undesirable patrons. Although be is oid and feeble, no dog can stay In the cafe when Jerry is around. Several have bad occasion to remember unpleasantly their experience with him He seems to.be able to read the time, and promptly at 1 o'clock every morning (except Sunday and Monday mornings), which is the time for closing. Jerry begins to make his rounds to see that everything is all right. Re cently Jerry disappeared, and was away for three weeks. It was thought he was dead. But he has returned, and in good condition, showing- that Borne one must have given him kind treatment. For pyre, unadulterated nerve a certain "genius" Bow attached to the Street Cleaning Bureau in this borough takes the palm, in the opinion of the Office staff. He ranks as a driver, and rode on a cart until a brilliant idea struck him. One day be appeared In the office with a letter from an official "higher up" saying that the driver had aspirations to be a lawyer, and asking that some work In the office be given to him which would enable him to peruse his law books. So he was transferred to office duty, presumably as a mes senger, but with little actual work. Next day when he reported for duty he had a package of books. Instead cf law books, the package con tained a primer, an arithmetic and ten dime novels. From another parcel the would-be lawyer pro- fluced an old pair of carpet slippers. Removing Xl bis shoes and putting on the ■Uppers, the "stu pf Cent" cocked his feet upon the table and started Jigging out legal lore from one of the dime novels. Despairing of getting any work oat of him in the SfSoe, the superintendent one day assigned him at a timekeeper on one of th« tugs hired by the Department. it was carefully explained to him that the city paid $5 an hour for the tugs when tctually In use, so that it was of great importance to know the exact period of their service. That eight, when he came back, the superintendent leked him hoy.- Jong the tug to which he had been kssijrned had worked. •Well," be replied, "I don't know when they started, but when they stopped It wss 3:40 o'clock by the captain's watch." In the morning mail several day 3 after ten Sriv-fcrs had been dismissed for abandoning their horses in the er.ow was an envelope addressed with rtfl Ink in a scrawly hand to '"The Snow Office of the Street Cleaning Department." Inside was a Kjuare piece of newspaper, upon which had been pasted the representation of a human hand. The sar.d had been cut from fine white paper, and had been colored black with ink. There was 1 0 writing 6n the lnHopure. it had H sinister look, and the Sift impulse was to fhnx it over to the police hut tn more careful consideration it was decided that It could not have occn the work ot an uneducated person, and was probably meant "for a practical joke by an acquaintance- of some one 5n the oflice who had heard cf the threats of the dismissal Irivers. - - - As en example of the queer characters in the leiicrtrnent an Incident that occurred yesterday nay be related. A sweeper who had been called town to the office for sortie dereliction of duty narchtd into Superintendent Clarke's office on his •ray out and |iavely said: "Please. 6ir. give me 10 cents." "What? 11 gapped the astonished sup^rlgtendent. "I must have M cent*." was the reply "What for?' asked .Mr. Clarke. "I want to buy a palm leaf ran." eaid the sweep »r In all seriousness. The superintendent thought it not best to tilfl rlth a man with that fort of a delusion, and rang Jor his cltrks and ln^truclvd them to t«.ke the nretj>er out of th« bui'.dlnc Reports of the dinners In honor of th» annl rersary of Lincoln's Birthday last week called at tention to the fact that two of the three cipher llspatch operators who v.ef% fietaJ!ed at the White House In the Civil War live in Brooklyn. All three rere In that borough on Monday night— one at the Union League Club dinner and two at the Lincoln Club dinner. No one had a better insight into »very move of the war than these men. Few be tame acquainted with Abraham Lincoln more in amately and saw him in all the many sides of his »haracter. At the Union league Club A. B. Chandler, and at the Lincoln Club D. Homer Bates, rave some personal reminiscences of the great President which were deeply Interesting in spite ft all that has been written and paid about Lin coln. The other member of the trio Is Charles A. tinker, who was at th»» Lincoln Club dinner. He ia 1 former president of the club, and lives in Lofferts lace.
