AFRICAN LIONS,
characteristics of the Carnivorous An
imal Known As King of Beasts


The African lion, which is the largest
and most majestic looking OF all lie flesh
eating animals. is well known to every one
who has the privilege Of visiting any
geological garden. or even a travelling
menagerie, so many of these noble looking
animals having been brought TO this coun-
try, where some of them have lived for
many years, apparently suffering little
from their close confinement The lion is
easily tamsd, at least when taken young,
and if a5undantly supplied with food it is
good natured and docile, and can be taught
10 perform many clever feats to the great
admiration OF OH lockers
This dociiity of the lion must have been
known to the ancierts, for we read that
these animals were made TO contribute to
the barbarous sports OF the Romans, many
of them being imported into Rome for the
supply Of the amphitheater.

LION MOURNING OVER MS DEAD MATE
The parental instinct seems to be strong
botb in the lion AMI mis- mate, as they both
watch over and attend to their cubs. which
are always hidden IN some secluded retreat
and remain in company OF the parents for
u longer time than is usual with the other
carnivora
a pair OF these animals always remain
constant to each other during the Whole
period Of their joint lives, and their attach
ment to one another is very great II any
accident happens TO either of them the
survivor seems for a time iuconsolabie.
On this respect, it is said, that the lion ex-
hibIts the greatest melancholy and the
Ho1ess the greatest fury. in our cut is
shown lion mourning over his dead mate.

TEACHERS WANT AN INCREASE.
The Primary Instructors of the ub-D.strict
Schools Meet.

The primary teachers of the city sub
district schools held a meeting at the South
sub-district school building last evening to
get up petition asking for an increase in
their salaries, which is to be presented to
the Committee on Salaries of the Central
Board of Education. They held a closed
meeting, and after almost every one present
had taken a hand in discussing the matter
they decided unanimously that they were
doing no more than right by asking for an
increase if the principals, assistant prin-
cipals and grammar teachers were to be ad-
vanced. They also decided that large
number of primary teachers did the work of
grammar teachers and should receive the
same salaries. Teachers of step il receive
primary teachers wages in eight schools in
the city. ..-.- .--.
Misses Shelter, Diehl and Hoyle were
appointed a committee to get the petition
ready, and Misses Chessbro, Mcguire, De-
monte, Paisley, MILAN, Evans, Davis,
White and Peasewell a committee to wait
upon the Salary Committee of the Central
Board of Education.
The increase asked for will make the
salary of a teacher with less than one years S
experience, S400 per year instead of $500;
for one years experience, $3.50 per year in
stead of $500; for two years experience,
$500 per wear instead of $3.50; for three
wears experience, $3.50 per year instead of
S4O0; for four wears experience, 5000 per
wear instead of $50; for five years expert
ence and more, $3.50.
Miss e. E Coyle was Chairman of the
meeting and Miss NJ. Johnston, Secretary.

MANY MORE CLAIMS MADE
Afidavits by Dozens From the Ex-Election
Supervisors for Back Pay.

Affidavits by Dozens From the Ex-Election
Supervisors for Back Pay
The ex-supervisors of the Congressional
elections of 1882, 's4. SO and 'Ss are coming
forward rapidly with their claims for time
they think they are entitled to, but were
not paid for. Already about 200 aftdavlts
have been filed for sums ranging from S5 to
S45. As stated in THE DISPATCH some
time ago, a firm of attorneys in Newark, n.
j., and Washington, D. c., have recovered
for e1-supervisors in other cities claims
from the Government of similar character,
the claims being based on the fact that the
men were only paid for from one to three
days work at S. per day, but as they were
sworn in from 10 to 60 days before the cleo
tions are entitled to pay for every day
they were employed. 1t was supposed
that some supervisors would file claims for
the entire 60, 40 or 80 days they were sworn
in, but the statement of United States Com
missioner Gamble in which he quoted the
law to show that more than 1C days pay
would not be allowed, has had an effect on
the claimants and none have made affidavit
to more than 10 days, less the number they
have already been paid for. Some only
claim pay for the days they actually per-
formed work
For instance, Patrick Gallagher, of the
Twenty-fourth ward. claims $40 due from
1888, in which he worked 4 days and was
only paid tor J. For 1886 he was paid for
3 DAYS and claims another. j. G. Relnhardt,
Ninth ward, claims $40, having been paid
for only 2 days, but worked 10. Michael
GillIgan, Thirteenth ward, was paid for 2
days in 1883, but claims there is s45 yet due.
Louis Celia claims $40 due him from 1884,
and q number of others claim the same
amount for the various years.
The total number entitled to claims in the
