Now and then, for no reason that any
one can find, lion on tiger that has
been doing his dnty regularly and well
grows suddenly reielIicuB. He viii no
longer balance on the big bal, no Ion
ger stand unprotestingly on the seesaw
board, no longer ride the horse or Jump
the hurdles. He comes out instead with
q plain, pointed, leonine mo- for the
whole programme and proceeds to get
square with the game by tearing the
life ont Of some trainer or groom. Ap-
parently his pride and hate and revenge
are all stirred up together against all
surrounding conditions, and the people
TO whom he has been most obedieut are
the very ones he now desires most to
kill When tanners meet a violent death,
it is often under one Of these unforeseen
and ineTplioable Outbursts Of madness.
But there is another and perhaps
slIhtler source Of danger 10 tanners.
Everything goes well for two or three
years and the tanner, proud Of mis- sue
cess and swelling bank account, becomes
nverconfident One day he gets nip
from a beast Or assratch from a tigers
claw. This will happen inevitably, un-
less the greatest Vyatchfulness is EN-.
ployed, and without any vicious inten-
tion on tine part of the wild beast. But
tine wound fingers On hand or arm, for
wounds from q wild beasts claws On
fangs however trifiing, are long IL
healing and very painful. The member
swells to donble its normal size. The
wound tears open again and again, and
months pass before the man is healed.
The moral effect Of such an experience
is bad. Perhaps another bite or scratch
is incurred before the old one is quit
well, and after nnmber of such mis-
haps the tanner, though he will not ad
init it, perhaps even to himself, is apt
to become afraid Of his animals. The1
he has recourse to stimulants TO ''steady
his nerves" before going into the ring.
Bnt by this treatment his nerves are NO
steadied; rather they are the mort
shaken And the more he drinks thu
more unfit he is TO face the danger anC
the likelier to take some reckless steI
4 which will result in his serious injury
or death, for it is undoubtedly fac
that tanners are not infrequently manned
for life, and even killed. Such a cas-
was that Of the tanner Heigenreich, WHO
was torn to pieces some years ago while
giving sn exhibition in Russia. A largt
lion sprang upon him and literally tore
his life ont before the eyes Of the spec.
tat0rs. Nothing could be done TO save
the 1nan. Nothing can ever be done il
such a case
Perhaps the best safeguard against
these dreadful accidents Safeguard
better than hot irons or revoiyers-is {
ready line Of hose, with strong pressure
Of water, which can be turned on at
moments notice. 1t has been found tina
a lion struck by powerful stream o
water will drop his bleeding victim
when prodding with iron hooks Or SINH
lar measures will only make him hold o.
the tighter
Thus it is absolutely fatal to th,
tanner to fall into any fear. As soon a
he gets the idea that he is going to b
killed he had better give mp the worl
at once, or the chances are that he will
be killed.--Cleveland Moffett in Nc
Ciure'B Magazine.

In every one Of these countries, it will
be seen, the expenditures far exceed the
revenues, although the greatest efforts
have been made to secure additional
revenue and new taxes. 1t is now Tecog,
nized that higher taxation is ont of ques,
ton, vet we are told that any greater
economy is impossible.
In comparison with the increase in the
rate Of taxation, it is startling to hear
fpem Mr.. Aiulhall that the average ia
crease inEthe net earnings Of the people
during this period is not ene-sixth that
Of the increased taxation, SO that their
condition is growing steadily worse.
The cause of all this is apparent. The
remedy, of course, is disarmament aud
economy, bnt it is diftieult to convince
the European powers that disarmament
does not mean attack end destruction by
their enemies.

citation Entertainment.

Young Women's Friendly Asso.
citation Entertainment.
The entertainment last night by Miss
Mayhew's physical training class of the
Young Women's Friendly association
at their rooms, corner of Seventh and
Jackson streets, was success from
every point of view. The girls show
the work that is sur prising, considering
that many joined the classes only this
year.
The Swedish exercises, dumb-bell
drill, and club swinging were all good,
but the part of the work in which the
young women excel is the fancy march
ing.
Miss Mayhem herself gave an exhibit
ton i'll club swinging that was superb.
The young women of class from the
Young Women's Christian association
of Minneapolis. which is another of
Miss Mayhew's physical training class
es, were the guests of the young women
here and were invited to give the "Pizi-
catti chorus" with dumb bells. The
Minneapolis girls evidently had had
much more training in this
line of the work than the
young women here, and acquitted
themselves creditably. They have not
had the hail space in which to practice
fancy marches, as have the young
women of the association here, so they
naturally turned their attention more
to this style of exercise.
The programme was interspersed with
musical numbers, all given by the Misses
Mccoy, of the Mandolin orchestra. MIR.
and Mrs. Litchenburger and the young
women served light refreshments to
their guests after the programme

To Stand by Reciprocity-Iteso

The board of directors of the chamber
OF commerce at It's weekly meeting YES

presSIVe of its views of the proposed
ahrogation by the Wilson tariff bill of
the reciprocity treaties. The commercial
committee. composed of e. z. Moves,
William Faulkner. John +. Broderica
and Thomas B. Scott. reported the
measures. The board, as an outcome
OF tile discussion following the report,
adopted the following memorial to the
senators and representatives Of Mime
SUta in congress:
believing that the abrogation of the
reciprocity treaties contemplated in the
Wilson tariff bill now before congress
Will be disastrous to the best interests

The resolutions Of Gen. Andrews de
nouncng the CoXey movement, SUBJ
mitted week ago, were adopted, with
the addition OF the following reSolu-
ton:
That 1t is the duty of all peace Off
GERS. and all officers charged with the
execution OF the laws, state and nation
al. TO so enforce the laws that these I'M
fortunate classes may be restrained and
prevented from adding vagrancy and
crime to the unfortunate condition OF

from making their condition worse than
it now is, and that it is the duty of all
good citizens to pledge their moral sup
port to all officers charged with the exc
cution of the laws in this behalf"
Col. Clough, vice president of the
| Great Northern railway, cited instances
| in which the Burlington and other
| railroads had tried to hire men from the
| CoKey contingent, but without success.
| The speaker said the CoXey movement
| was not i'll the interests OF men seeking
employment, but of men who couldn't

T.. V. Smalley cited instances that
came under his observation during his
recent Western trip in which railroads
on the coast tried to hire men from the
| ranks of the CoXeyites, but We're re-
fused by the men.

vest SIQerS want Stryker Ave.
& nue. Line Extended at Once.
Z A number of residents of the central
portion of the Sixth ward met last night
at 3sS South Waoasha street to discuss
the extension of the street car line out
L on Stryker avenue. The meeting was
; called by Aid. Quehl. who desired
= to- hear the expressions of the citizens
on this important question, as it is IN
derstood that the city railway company
will appear before the meeting of the
council tonight for the express purpose
. of asking another extension of time
wherein to comply with the provisions
of tie charter.
The Stryker avenue line is one of the
lines specified in the original charter as
granted to the company, and four ex-
tensions have already been asked and
granted. At the present time the COM
pany thinks that owing to the strin-
gency of money matters another season
of relief should be given. 1t was the
intention of the council to leave the
matter to the incoming administration,
but as the railway company is going to
present the matter Oh its own accord,
the alderman from the Sixth desires to
be posted.
The opinions of those present seemed
to be unanimous on the point of having
the line built at once. They assert that
with the line in operation Stryker ave-
nue. would become the central thorough
fare of the Sixth ward. Some who were
present said that they had built their
homes in that neighborhood relying on
the fact that car line was to be estab-
lished on the avenue, and its nom
existence is source Of disappointment
to them.
Some of the residents on the old Wa
basha line. however. believe that the
construction of the new line would in
terfere with the operation of the old
one. and are not very anxious to see it
built at once.
Owing to the RAIN. the meeting was
not. largely attended, and Aid.
Quehl desires to have the announce
ment made that any one wishing to be
heard on the matter should be present
at tonight's council meeting.

gpiained That He Had Acted

The aldcrmanic committee on claims
! hrlh session yesterday afternoon. and
for two hours tue claims against the
city growing out of the recent smallpox
epidemic were discussed. Aid. Zim-
norman and Montgomery were much
opposed to the allowance of the bills for
, services OF the nurses and other people
who were locked up in quarantine at
the Park hotel for a couple Of weeks.
Add. Warren. the other member of the
committee present. took the ground
that DR.. Hoyt, the health commissioner.
had done the best he could under the
circumstances for the city. and, as the
disease had been confined to the Uni
versity avenue hotel, where it started.
and one other case, the expenditures
made or ordered by the health commits
sioner should be paid.
DR.. HOyt. in explanation, said that all
the expense made necessary in order to
stamp out the disease had been dis.
cussed by the mayor before the orders
were given. and that that official had
directed him to take such action as was
deemed best regardless of expense.
Some FAULT was found by Aid. Mont
gomery and Zimmerman because the
man in charge of the pesthouse charged
patients while there $1,000 per week for
board. The same gentlemen also OBJ
jected to the bills for $500 which were
incurred in fitting out the ten persons
who had been Quarantined and their
clothing destroyed with new clothes.
After some discussion. however. the
following claims were allowed:
