Chicago, Feb. 2—R. Sayre, a realtor, has announced that Philadelphia will be a catless city in the near future. Mr. Sayre just lives to destroy cats. He not only lives to destroy cats, but lives to induce all other persons to kill cats.
He holds cats up as the enemy of the human race, explaining this in a pamphlet he has written. When he talks cats he goes on high and speeds.
He is offering a bounty on the scalps of cats, but has not yet paid out much in this direction yet.
He names all the sins medical men blame on cats and then adds a score more. They are a menace to children as disease-bearers and have killed off half the songbirds in Michigan. He hopes a catastrophe will hit the next cat show. Mr. Sayre does not differentiate between the cat aristocrat and the alley cat. They are all just cats to him. He is carrying on a wide campaign by mail.
