A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Lion Attacks His Tanner Ia the
Cage.

CONEY ISLAND, n. Y, June TO-
Mile. Beatrice, q lion tanner at the Lon.
don show, which is giving Tild animal
show on tns old iron pier at West
Brighton, had narrow escape from be-
Ing mangled to death tonight by lion.
1t was Just 10 O'Clock and the enclosure
on the pier where the auama!s are On
exhibition was crowded with people.
The las. performance Of the day was
being gwen end Beatrice appeared in
the hall, climbed up the ladder leading
to the wild lions cage and entered.
There are two big Asiatic lions in the
cage, g male aud female. Bella is the
females name and Brutus the malice.
The latter is great pet OF the lion
tanner, and she plays with him for III
teen minutes at every performance, Her
act with the wild beast IS closed By
opening bis mouth and kissing him. She
always succeeded IN kissing the brute
until tonight. While she was making
her bold attempt 10 smack the lips Of
Brutus the man who feeds the lions
made his appearance near the cage with
a box ofraw beef. Brutus caught sight
CT the beef, and in moment he IN,
fastened Bsatrice's hold upon him and
sprang upon her.
Both had lively tussie which finally
resulted in the lion tamer's falling to the
floor and the lions grabbing the left side
tf her face in his mouth. The women
and children iu the audience screamed
and the men rushed around the ball
looking for clubs and sticks with which
to beat the lion away from the woman.
In few moments Manager Farrar and
Trainers Bruce and OrdwaY rushed in
with pitch forks. After plunglag the
forks several times in the head and body
of the lion they managed to make him
loosen his hold and got the girl out OF
the cage. She was unconscious aud
blood was pooring from her face as she
was carried into the Office. DR.. Hill
vas summoned and the woman was put
to bed. When the doctor arrived the
woman was delirious and opiates had to
be given to quiet her. Upon examlna-
ton Dr.. Hill found that the lion had
succeeded in sticking three OF his big
teeth through the Woman's left jaw.
Other parts Of her face were also chew
ed. It took some time to stop the flow
OF blood. Dr.. Hill said tonight that it
was the worst case Of animal bite he
ever saw. The woman was delrIous
at midnight and Dc. Hill says she is in
a precarious condition. Mile. Beatrice Is
20 years old. Her father was lloc
tanner ana she went into the business
when 1S. She came from London with
the show three weeks ago.

Gov TtIlmxn Quoted.

The Jacksonville Times Union which
has no use for Governor Tillman po-
litically, in a recent issue gives the Gov
ernor credit for saying two things at
the immigration convention at Angus
ia, that every community in the South
should think about and act upon. The
Times Union says "the Governor is
quoted by the Associated Press dis
patches as saying that it was well
enough to invite people and capital
from the outside, and all that cam e
would be welcome; but for every dollar
of outside capital the Southern people
must expend ten Of their own, if they
were in earnest about desiring to build
up the South. That the future of this
section depends on the efforts of our
own people. and what the Southern
farmer needs most is an immigration
of ideas and intelligent agricultural
methods. That Southern farmers would
never prosper as long as they spend
six months in killing grass in their
fields and the next six in buying hay
from Maine and Northern States. Like
many other speakers Governor Tillman
exaggerated for the sake of giving en-
phasis to his ideas. It is not necesssr
for the Southern people to spend ten
dollars of their own money to obtain
one Of foreign capital for Southern
investment but it is necessary that they
should invest some of their own money
in any undertaking for which they hope
to get outside support. An undertak-
ing that does not show enough home
confidence to secure reasonable back
ing from the men in whose midst it is
to be established will not be likely to
command much foreign support. On
this line the South should take this ai-
vice from Gov. Tillman. If you wish
to do thin 9 commence it yourselves,
and don't ask for outside help until
you show you are in earnest. AS to
the farmers Of the South many of them
have already learned the lesson that
Governor Tillman recommended for
their study. They are already rapidly
making the South the home Of diversi.
fed agriculture, and their success shows
that the advice is good. The other
lesson from Governor Tillman we COM
mend, especially to the people of Jack
sonville. He declared that he had no
plan of his own, but that he had come
to the congress to put his shoulder OF
any wheel that started in the right di-
rection, and to do all in his power to
check anything starting wrong. He
had no pet scheme of his own, but was
ready to cooperate earnestly in any
that promised to accomplish the OBJ
iects of the immigration movement.
What a city we could make Of Jack
sonville if all of our leading men would
put a shoulder to any wheel that start
ed in the right tdireetion-that is if they
would put their shoulders on the right
side Of the wheel. The trouble is, we
have too many men who put their
shoulders to the wheel to push back.
ward movement. Governor Tillman's
suggestions were good, and the people
Of Jacksonville would do well to profit
by them, without stopping to inquire
where thew came from"

Heterocepeous Democracy.

The Columbia State is thoroughly dis.
gusted with the action of the State
Democratic Executive Committee in
receiving the Weaverites back into the
party. "As the Democratic party of
South Carolina stands today all white
men, whether Democrats Republicans
or PoDulists, have equal rights in it,
it says: In answer 10 which the Green
vile News truly says: "Why, that has
been the case in South Carolina since
1876. Every white man has been
virtually counted as a Democrat. We
have had high tariff and low tariff
men, paper money and gold basis men,
people of all kinds and varieties of po'
litical belief. The men who voted for
McLane, the greeGback candidate for
Governor, in 1883 were admitted back
into the party with out word of pro-
test. In Greenville county, We know,
and probably in other counties men
who are Republicans in all their pOllti-
cal principles have called themselves
Dc nocrats and have been sctive in
local party affairs as Democrats; while
others who were declared Repn nblicans
have been voting, regularly in the De-
mocratic primaries. It Is a bold at
tempt to ignore patent conditions and
past history to contend that the white
men OF the State cannot divide up on
enconomical policies and national is
sues and come together again Oh the
great oyershadoWing issue in the State. y

The Rev. Andrew Jackson Potter
has announced himself candidate for
sheriff and tax collector Of Tom Green
County, Texas. He will be remembered
as the gentleman who created consid.
erable excitement several years ago by
rising in his pulpit in Uvalde, T3xas,
with two big six shooters in his hands
and informed the audience, mostly
composed of the toughest of toughs
and who had run many other ministers
out of the town, that ii there was any
body In the audience who had the au-
dacity to assume that he could put
him out of the pulpit to step forth ard
take his medicine, and wound up by
saying that with the help Of God and
those two forty fVes he proposed to
preach to the people that day.

COLUMBIA, >. w., Juuo 1o.-Aue
following circular has been sent 10 the
captains OF the various newly organized
military companies:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
OFFICE OE THE
Adult. AND INsPEC. GENERAL.
COLUMBIA, s. c., June llta, 1894.
Sir: am instructed by the Comman-
der-in. Chief to issue the following circu.
lar for the information of the newly Or
ganized military companies. After the
Darlington riot every announcement
was given by the Governor to the organ
jzation of new companies TO all such
a promise was made that they would be
armed and equipped as soon as possible.
Owing to the policy pursued by the Ad-
iutant Generals during the last ten years
the State has very few first class arms
and there were none in stock. so that in
arming new companies only those were
available tbatIwere taken from the COM
panies who refused to obey the Cover
nor's orders, and these have alrady been
distributed. The rule adopted 10 the
distribution was to arm companies in the
counties where none previously existed,
I'd. To leave the arms alread in
county where they were giving Them to
the new companies taking the place OF
toe old onse. Sd. To arm those COM
raules which came to Columbia during
the riot. Upwards Of 100 companies
have been organized and the officers
commissioned, while the Adjutant Gen
eral has only taken arms from about
eighteen companies, thus leaving over
eighty still unarmed. The annual ap-
preparation for the maintenance of the
militia is not available for the purchase
of arms, but must be distributed prorata
among the companies already in exist
ence, which meet the requirements OF
the law. There is, s,therefore, no money at
present with which to buy arms, but 10
July the appropriation from Congress
will be available for the purchase Of arms
and when the Legislature meets the
Governor will advise an additional ap.
preparation for the purchase OF arms.
The Commander-in- Chief takes this op'
portunity of urging the companies to
perfect themselves in drilling and to
purchase cheap shirt or blouse to be
used as a uniform. He will exert him
self 10 the utmost to arm all the cou'
panies he mas commissioned ns soon as
possible.
By order of the Commander in.Chiet:
Il. L. FARLEY,
Adjutant and Inspector General.

BE Thy BROTHER
Has he fallen, deeply fallen,

Has he fallen, deeply fallen,
From the path OF truth and light?
Is he cropping, blindly cropping,
In the blackneSs Of sins night?
Is ne straying, sadly straying,
From the tender Shepherd'r fold?
Is he staying, idly staying,
On the mountain, bleak and cold?
If he's fallen, still remember,
Thine own steps may one day slide,
For while Virtues path is narrow,
Errors way is broad and wide.
Or, If from the fold he's wandered,
Lured by pleasures voice away,
Remember from His loving care,
Thine own feet are prone to stray.
Turn not from a fellow creature
Haughtily, with scornful eyes,
But from sin and shameful FAILURES.
Lend hand and help him rise.
If on his brow there rests a marking,
Like the bitter curse Of Cain,
BY gentle words and kindly actions
Belp erase the deadly stain.
Tell him of Gods pardonlng goodness
And you'll do the Masters will,
For it matters not how fallen,
Know he is thy brother still.
