Terrible Scenes in a Menagerfe.

LONDON, Sept. Is. = Advices from
Kimberly, South Africa, tell of an awful
occurrence there at midnight on the LIST
of June. Some person evidently bearing
i'll feeling towards the proprietor OF Tillis'
m%enagerie opened the doors of the cages
combining the wild animals and set them
all free, Most terrible scenes followed.
-Four attendants sleeping on the premises
~endeavored to round up the beasts but
were manRled beyond recognition, being
actually torn limb from limb. The entire
population within the radius of a mile
were aroused by the roaring of the lions,
trumpetIng OF the elephants and the
groans and shrieks OF other wild beasts.
Having tasted blood in their struggle with
the employees, the brutes regained all
their natural terocity and sprang at every
living thing in their way. -Four per-
forming Hungarian horses were killed
almost instantly and a number Of
ponies devoured. An enormous
elephant burst through the heavy iron
gate n rushed into the street, followed
by nearly every animal in the menagerie.
A little child of James Gringley, in a
rear room opening on the garden was
p~ounced upon by L chetah and dragged
into the open AIR, where the agoniZed
mother saw it torn to pieces and devoured
before help could reach it. Other har-
rowing incidents are reported, among
them the killing of five women, who were
feartullv mangled. When the mails left
four hons. two lionesses, two tigers, three
bears. two wolves, one hyena, "
chctahs, one u 'nhant, one camel and
sew ntern bah u,, were still at large. The
police have b. IL organized into hunting
parties and the people are keeping In

Illinois proudly comes to the front for
a high place in the world of invention.
Its inventor is Mr.. Funk. II farmer at
Heyworth. This invention is a rabbit
trap. Mr.. Funk is a competitor for the
prize of SI25. GO offered by the Austria
Ian government for a device that will
rid Australia of the terrible rabbit pest
which threatens to destroy its ~agricult-
ure. Various things have been tried
without success. The NJ. Pasteur plan
OF i~noCulating the rabbits with a deadly
disease was the most promising of these.
but this was also Il failure. Funk's trap
dumps the rabbits into Il pit by means of
a platform swung on pivots below a bait
suspended above it. He has just been
informed that the parliamentary com
mittee ON rabbits regards it with favor,
and has been asked u come to Australia
to look after it Exchange.

CHICAGO. SEPT. ls.-The first session
of the worlds iaIr commission this
morning resolved to vote for the selection
of a director general tomorrow morning.
Mercer of Wyoming presented a
resolution calling ON the worlds fair
directors to furnish a single site. After
much discussion it was laid on the table
till the report of the committee on titles
was received.
From to-day's action of the national
worlds fair commissioners, and from a
canvass of the commission it can be stated
that n majority of that body is finally and
Irrevocably opposed to a double site for
the worlu!s fair, and that on Saturday
next a resolution will be offered and
adopted requesting the Chicago directory
to tender Washington park, or what is
generally known as South park, as a site.
In case this is refused the
commission will report to Wash.
Dg,on that no adequate site
has been offered. There are
also Indications of a change Of senti-
ment in regard to the director generalshIp,
aud from Indications tonight the local
directory will select one man as director
Reneral-probably Geo. r. Davis-while
it is tholght the national commission will
elect a man OF their own, with the title
of Commissioner general" and place
him in charge of all foreign and inter
state exhibits in connection with the fair.
This will, of course, curtail the overs of
the director general.

but Koch drew a revolver from his pocket
and shot himself IN the head. dying in

seemed to be the echo of his shot from
the direction of the window towards which
he had looked, aud in a few minutes a
messenger came running, saying a woman
had shot herself at lao Canal street. An
Investigation revealed the fact that Emile
Ross, an actress, aged l9, lay a corpse in
the bed In her room with a bullet in her
heart. She was attired in a nightrobe,
with a bunch of heliotrope pinned to her
bosom. 1t was evident that she had
barred her bosom for the fatal shot, for
the garment was unscorched.
There was nothing to show
the cause Of death except
a little red spot over the heart with a hole
in the middle, for not a drop of blood
flowed from the wound. Death was evil

Kock. 1t was evidently prearranged that
they should take themselves out of the
world together. The girl had evidently
made every preparation for the event.
On a chair by the window lay her cloth

been writing and the table was covered
with small sheets OF paper filed with her

the Mckinley bill by incorporating into it
some provision looking toward more init
mate commercial relations with the sister

America, which the Democratic conven-
ton demanded in 1888, and we regret the
failure OF this attempt. We condemn
the unwillingness Of Republican senators

gard for New England interests in FRAN
ing the tariff bill and for their ayowed
readiness to sacrifice its prosperity to the
exigencies of party politics. Adjourned.

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapless in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow.selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people. however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
