One of the lessons is, that goods should be
bought where they can be had cheapest.

LACERATED BY A LION.

The Brute Closes His Jaws on a Fe-
male Tanners Head.
LONDON, Feb. AT the conclusion of
the performance at Lowry's Music Hall in
Dublin last night, Mile. Senedi, one of the
performers, placed her head in a lions
mouth for the purpose of having her photo
graph taken in that position. Suddenly a
flash of light caused the beast to close his
jaws, and he retired growing to the cor
ner of his cage, dragging his helpless
victim with him. Then he shook
the girl violently, tearing her bare
breast with his claws. The attendants at
once sprang toward the cage and attacked
the lion with irons, and finally succeeded in
beating him off Mile. Senedi was removed
to her lodgings and medical aid summoned.
Her neck, shoulders and breast are terribly
lacerated but she is still alive.

LEFT IN THE LURCH.
Printers Walk Out in an Attempt to
Install the Union.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4-The compositors
employed on the Item went on a strike to-
day because the proprietors refused to make
the establishment union office, and pay
the wages required by the union. There
are about thirty-five compositors concerned
in the strike. When the manager
Of the paper refused to accede to
the demands of the men, which were
made before beginning the days work, they
walked out of the office, taking with them
the proof readers and galley-boys. The
foreman, with about ten composltors, ro-
fused to go out, and with the aid of Col.
Fitzgerald and his sons, proprietors of the
paper, who are practical printers, succeeded
in publishing this afternoons issue. Col.
Fitzgerald claims that the strike will not
hinder the regular issue of the paper. No
intimation of the strike was given, and the
whole transaction was a complete surprise
to the proprietors. The Item has been q
non-union office for about seven years.
