A DUKE AND A TIGER.
A Narrow Escape in a. Jungle of
Northern India.


The Duke of Orleans and his cousin,
Prince Henry, of the same family, have
been tiger-hunting in India, and with the
usual narrow escape from the brute claws.
Mounted upon elephants they were in the
lead of the hunt, when tigress which had
been fired upon attacked the dukes Gle
plant, and, leaping upon its side, chung to
one OF the steps of the howdah, or elephant
saddle, in which the duke was riding
From this point the ani..al began to climb
and for one terrible moment it seemed as if
she would leap into the howdah and seize
the duke
The rider tried in vain TO fire at the tiger;
the elephant bounded and plunged so VIC
lently that it was impossible to get shot
All at once the elephant ran under a tree and
the dukes gun was caught in the branches
and broken in two.
1t was terrible moment. Prince Henry,
from his elephant, tried TO get a shot at the
tiger, but the tiger was now so near the
duke that he did not dare TO fire for fear Of
killing his cousin.
Just at this moment the step of the how
dab broke under the weight of the tiger,
which fell to the ground, and then quickly
took to fight. She was followed and killed

The Argentine Deeply in Debt.

Some alarm is beginning to be felt in f.
nancial circles abroad over the extent of the
borrowing that has been INDUCED in by
Argentine Republic enterprises this year.
The London Financial News prints list of
loans placed by Argentine companies dur
ing the year in Europe, which shows an
enormous total of over SlS5 CO.,, 900 for pop
ulation Of less than 3,500,00a, or sum more
than three times greater than the estimated
revenue for this year. It exceeds also the
entire internal, foreign, and floating debt Of
that country year ago. Such an expan-
sion Of credits can have no solid basis. A
with bad results.

began their contest. Hull urged his

recovered and fairly lifting Hull in the

Round six was similar to the fifth
and ended in like manner, Hull
being thrown after a fine struggle.
This ended the exciting contest and the
