Mrs. Harri.on,. summer Plans.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Mrs. Harri-
son has been giving much of her time
lately to settling upon the plans OF the
decoration and various other changes
which will be made in the White house
during the summer. The decoration
of the vestibule and corridor. the green
parlor and the state diningroom are
what the public will see the most Of
but the necessary changes and repairs
in the plumbing and other work of
that character is giving her as much
concern. Ii the weather is favorable
for the change she now expects to go
to Cape May Point about June 10 and
spend the entire summer there.

NOTHING worthy is accomplished

AN American army officer lecturing
on the modern changes in war meth
DDS, rather belittles our system of cav
airy training, and says that every con-

discredited mounted infantry. Lord
Wolsely, on the other hand, considers
that the more important military les
sons to be drawn from the American
civil war are those OF the cavalry SER
vice, and he predicts that mounted
infantry will find favor again in Eu-

quence to us anyhow.

Arrest Of n Malt Robber Clears Up
Mystery.


BILLINGS, Mont. June 5.-Through
the Madden McDermott feud in the
Big Horn basin of Wyoming, a mys-
terry OF long standing here has been
cleared up and the suspicion that has
for three years hung over the name OF
George Swift OF that place has been
removed. McDermott according to
the story told by Madden. frequently
robbed the mails. and one instance
was given where he secured 81 20 from
registered letter sent from Billings.
George Swift was the man who sent
the money to Cassel George, and when
the envelope which should have con-
tanned 1t reached its destination empty,
the Billings man was accused of ap-
propriating the money to his own use.
MIR. Swift though protesting his inno-
cence, was induced to make good to
Cassel George the amount of money
missing, and has continued from that
time to this in position Of trust with
Babcock d Miles. But the unfortunate
occurrence has never been forgotten
by him nor the United States govern
ment and all these years the secret
service arm of the government has
been exerted to clear up the mystery.
Mr.. Swift, with no premonition of tho
storm about to burst, and with the
confidence of conscious integrity, en-
closed the money, registered the letter
and sent 1t on its way without taking
the precaution OF enclosing the bills in
the presence OF witnesses. He had no
proof that he had enclosed the money,
and the consignee receiving an empty
envelope, duly stamped and registered,
naturally refused to accept the word
of the cashier that the money had
been inclosed. The work was finely
done by the mail robber and it seemed
hopeless task for Mr.. Swift to ever
substantiate his claims and clear his
record of its only blot. His integrity
Is now fully established and in due
course of time his money will be re-
funded,

Terrible Battle with n Beast to save
a Boys Life.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 5.--Superin.
tendent John L. Mostler at Grant park
had terrible battle with Molly, the
Mexican lionees. He was fighting for
the life OF 1nman Bell the eight-year.
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. L. H. Bell,
and nephew of John H. Inman oil
New York. The little fellow and the
superintendent were injured seriously.
But for the GOODNESS of Mostler the boy
would have been horribly mangled by
the sharp claws OF the beast. As il
was the little fellow was badly
scratched and bitten. Mr.. Mostler had
his right hand severely lacerated. The
fight for life was witnessed by several
people, among them the mother of the
injured boy, and while the battle was
being fought the most intense excite
ment was created among the specta-
tors. Molly. the lioness is usually
quiet and peaceable, this being the first
time she has ever shown such a bad
disposition. Her attack was entirely
unlocked for.
1t seems that Mrs. Bell. accompanied
by lnman, was standing at the railing
near the animals cage when Mr.. Most
Ter came by on the inside of the rail-
ing. Mrs. Bell asked if the baby lions
could be seen, saying that her boy was
nearly crazy to see them. The super
intendent said that he could not show
them, and started to pass on. In
speaking Of it afterwards he said the
little follow was so nice and looked sd
disappointed that he determined I'd
give him peep through the cracksA
Picking him up he walked to the cage
and let him look through. The little
fellow was all delight at getting i
glimpse at the baby lions, and Mr..
Mostler started To move around to the
other side to give a better view.
Being inside the railing he had to pass
within Two or three feet of Molly's
cage, which was next to the one con-
tanning the cubs.
Suddenly the lioness stretched out a
paw between the oars and made a
strike at the boy. The blow fell short
but caught in his clothing. At the
same time she attempted to drag him
to her. and then for the first time Mr..
Mostler saw the danger. Before he
could move the little fellow had been
pulled up to the enraged beast and
with snap she seized one of his
hands in her mouth. With one foot
she braced herself and with the other
she was just about to make blow di-
rect for the child's face. Mr.. Mostler
still held to the child and was pulling
with all his might to get him from the
animal. He threw one hand against
the cage. This act probably saved the
child's life. The attention OF Molly
was diverted and she savagely clawed
the mans hand. All this occurred in
Il few seconds and the Mortified spec
tators had not had time to help in the
battle. The mother was well-nigh
crazed by the sight Of her son in the
clutches OF the beast. The boys hand
was between the animals teeth and
his face was within an inch or two OF
the half open mouth when Molly
turned to strike Mostler The spec
tators then rushed to the cage, and
with walking sticks, umbrellas and
rocks beat upon the sides and head OF
the lioness. With growl she released
her hold of the child and turned to
meet her enemies.
