Mr.. Morrison, how docs Illinois stand toward
Mcdonald for Presidentp The young men IN the De-
mOcraey of Illinois have entertained very kindly feeling
of recent years toward the Indiana Democratic leaders,
They gave Hendricks good support whenever he came
up for President. The class is again very well
disposed toward Mcdonald. There Is older class Of
Illinois Democrats which has since the Douglas
days looked favorably upon the Indiana leaders. You
see the Wabash Valley makes good deal Of Illinois
common country with Indiana, and induces neighborly
feeling There Mcdonald is well thought OF and often
to practise law at Springfield and Chcago and he
is good fair lawyer, tor. Ny idea Isl said Mr. Morr-
sou, that the Eastern element, which has been around
Tden and Randall, will TO Mcdonald II they get
what they want and cannot have of their own men
from the East. / refer to such men as Barnum OF
Connecticut think. very likely, If they cannot produce
a man to order in the East they will take favorable
view Of Mcdonald. The trading element among West
ern Democrats has generally been found in Ohio There
has been intriguing In Illinois, and hardly any west
of IT. You that Ohio IS already getting into q
squabble for the next Presidency There Is Judge
Payne, OF Cleveland coming forward with his tariff
speech. Fourteen the contest between Hen
bricks and Pendeton began the feeling by which the
party has long been the loser"

Injured BY An Angry Iioness.

Peter Marvin, an animal trainer, |
was severely injured by Ioness be-
longing to ]. B. Doris Inter- ocean
circus, in the winter quarters of the
show, at Frankford. The animals of
the show occupy several buildings
in Harrison street. The tropical
animals are kept in q room by them.
selves. The room is fifty feet square,
and along three Of the walls are heavy
oak and iron cages in three tiers, one
above the other. The lions, tigers,
leopards, panthers and hyenas are i'm
prisoned in the lower dens. Juno is
the largest lioness Of the collection,
and is five years old. Until o few
months ago she was regarded as one
of the best disposed brutes of her
species. Last summer she assumed
protectorate over two motherless
cubs in the show, and since then has
shown a great rage whenever her pro-
teges were approached. Just before
dark last evening Mr.. Marvin gave
tho cubs their share of the liver and
pauseda moment to fondle them. This
angered Juno, and as he advanced
toward her cage topacify her he STUN
bled and fell against the bars. In an
instant Juno seized his right arm
above the elbow. Marvin grasped the
bottom of the cage with his left hand.
Juno held his right arm with one paw
and struck through the bars at his
head with the other. A lad named
Donohue seized an iron bar and tried
to make Juno drop Marvin, but only
increased her rage. All the animals
became wildly excited, and theirroars
and cries could be heard blocks away.
Donohue ran out shrieking for help,
and number of men started to go to
Marvin's assistance. In the mean
time Juno had torn the flesh from
Marvin's wrist, struck him several ter
rible blows on the shoulder, and then
allowed him to drop to the ground
and crawl away.
Just as the rescuers reached the
doors they heard the sound of crush
ing timber, accompanied by the
angry beasts roars, Juno had thrown
herself against the bars and broken
through. The interior of the build
ing was dark, and no one dared VEN
ture in. They heard Juno charging
about the place, and hesitated. They
supposed Marvin was dead. He had
reached the rack in which the heavy
iron bars used to clean the cages were
kept, and, Selling one, boldly ad-
vanced on Juno. who was crouching
in the corner. The men outside,
treasured by hearing, above the din
the animals were making, the voice OF
Marvin ordering the ioness back to
her cage, entered, and the beast was
subdued. After Juno was Gagged it
was noticed that one of a pair of
blauw boks, for which Doris. paid
$1,000, was trembling like leaf, and
tears ran down the frightened animal S
face. Two minutes laterit was dead.
Marvin, though seriously injured, will
recover, and may regain the use of
| his arm.
