RAJAH AND TIGER.
Hunting Big Game in the
Jungles.
Colonel Hicks Tells OF Encounters
With the Fiercest of Indian
Beasts in the Punjaub.

Colonel Charles H. Hicks. who has been with
Harmstrom's circus in the Orient for the past
year ana veteran Snowman for more than
three decades, arrived on yesterdays steamer
and is at the Russ. He tells some interesting
stories Of tiger hunting in the Sudan jungles.
81 was on one liger-capturing expedition in
the Punjaub, 200 miles north Of Calcutta" said
Colonel Hicks. 81 + II in with a native Raiah
and went hunting tigers in the vast Jungle
where they abound. Pits were dug fourteen
feet IN depth and little straw placed In the
bottom. Fresh meat was thrown in and q live
sheep placed i'll each pit. The tigers would
scent the FOOD and gather about the pits, which
were loosely covered over with brush. They
would walk around cautiously for time.
Finally one would be bold enough TO make the
jump and attack the sheep.
"It Is usually supposed that the female OF
animals is more cautious than The male, but in
every instance IL was the female which first
sprang into the pit. When the male heard his
mate Ieasting on the sheep he would take the
plunge into the pit and II the pair had young
this would come tumbling in afterward.
1--WE captured quite a number OF tiger in this
way. We would leave them IN th- pits without
food or water until they were nearly dead fl ON
hunger and thirst. One size OF the pit was
made to slope little. A box would be lowered
and the famished animals cOaxed into IL with a
little meat After the tiger was thus secured a
trench would be dug and the box ana the cap
tive removed"
Colonel Hicks tells of another tiger-huptipe
adventure 800 miles north OF Calcutta, when
he went out on elephants with the Rajah of
Paoilla. a big tiger was wounded by one OF
the party. who raised his rife to shoot again.
The Rajah signaled him not to do so, and, dis-
mounting from the elephant, walked TO within
a few feet OF the animal.
The tigrr was not badly wounded" said
Colonel Hicks, land as the Rajah approached
he crouched like big cat, his tail swaying from
side to side. just ready TO make Il spring. just
at the moment when he was about to leap the
Rajah fired. His bullet went through the liger's
brain and he fell dead. / call that an example
of courage. II the Rajahs aim had swerved a
hairs breadth or two he would have been torn
to pieces in the next moment by the enraged
animal.v

SLAMS KING ILL.
Chulalongkorn Made So by DiSsipa
tiOu

Chulalongkorn Made So by DiSsipa-
tion.
Confirmation of the report that King Cnua-
longkoln had become addicted to the immod-
crate use OF chloral and other drugs, and that
he now lakes no active part in the government
OF the country, comes with the arrival of the
Belgic. Among the passengers on board that
steamer were E. Il. Mcfarland and his sister,
who are regist tered at The Occidental from
Bangkok, the capital of Siam.
81 do not think any credence should be placed
In the report OF the death of the King" said
Mr. Nc Farland. II left Bangkok on the 9th of
July. All sorts of reports have been sent out
regarding King ChulalOngkorn, but 1 am salts
fed that he is alive, and / think he will last
several years yet.
'Since France secured the ascendancy In
Farther India and Siam WIS forced TO yield to
the demands Of the French the King mas gone
from bad 10 worse. He takes no Interest In the
Government, and the administration of the
affairs OF the kingdom is left to the care of his
relatives. his half brothers Tor the most part.
"ChulalOngkorn has become very dissi-
pated," continued Mr.. Mcfarland. "He is ad-
dicted TO the use of chloral and other drugs,
and affairs are IN very unsatisfactory condi-
tion. DevawOngSe, the Prime Minister ana the
half brother of The King, IS at the head Of The
State, and the Official business necessary TO be
conducted is transacted by the various minis
ters Of The State. Times are dull. Trade and
exchange are in bad way. The French have
the upper hand in everything. None of the
other nations interfere, and poor weak Siam
has TO obey the mandate of the French repre-
Sentatives."
Mr.. Mcfarland, whose home is In Pittsburg,
Pa, has spent i've years in the land of the
white elephant. For three years be was Secre-
tary OF the Minister OF Education. He came
hOm e for a visit OF year. and on returning to
Siam found that his position had not been kept
for him. He then engaged III the drug bust
ness. He declares that it is his intention now
10 remain in America, and that he is very glad
10 leave the kingdom aud be once more under
the protection of the stars and stripes.

ANCIENT SAMARIA.
An Insurance Society Is in Hard
Luck.


Luck.
The Ancient Order of Samaria of the World
Is the title of an insurance organization which
at present is giving rise to no little comment
here and elsewhere.
The idea OF the novel policy issued by the
order was conceived by DIR. George J. Crane,
who, with sufficient support, undertook TO or
ganize and formally incorporate the society
under the laws OF the State.
DR.. Cranes ability as an organizer was proved
beyond doubt within a comparatively short
time. The list Of policy holders had so increased
that he decided TO take one step further and send
agents throughout the country.
o. V. Wagner IS one OF those who were unfOr-
tunately engaged. He had formerly been In the
employ of fire insurance company, which
made him appear a desirable worker in the
eyes OF Dr. Crane.
Wagner was given the Mission district as a
field and the way he went at work was most
encouraging TO his employer who acknowledged
the receipt or no less than half dozen policies
at the close of the day.
1t was noticed that as a rule Wagners
premiums for the first quarter were paid hall
In cash. the remain der been guaranteed by a
note payable IN ninety days.
The cash was turned into the treasury while
Wagner insisted on keeping the notes in his
possession for collection, which was granted
him.
1t now appears that the fellow went among
the friends Of those against whom be held
notes, and narrating tale to suit his game
managed 10 borrow in each case at least two
thirds OF the full amount due on paper.
Inrhis manner he reaped quite a lucrative
harvest and at present. as victim OF his un-
scrupulOus practice remarked yesterday, 'he
Is out OF sight,"
1t appears hat applicants in the Mission who
were thus duped were under the impression
that the order was simply a ruse for obtaining
money under false pretenses.
The fact Is, however, that when the dis
closure of Wagners game came to light DIR.
Crane was imm diately dropped from the man
agement, and is now travelling In the East or
ganiZing subordinate connclsJ
DIR. A. ID. Cushing. the supreme recorder,
who has been placed 10 charge OF the manage
ment, admitted yesterday that the affairs of the
Grand Council had been grossly msmanaged,
although the directors fortunately checked any
further lax procedure by dropping DR.. Crane
and his stan.
He said that an effort would be made to CON-
promise with the people of the Mission and
elsewhere who had fallen victims to unscrupu-
lOus agents, In order to clear the order Of any
chance tor reproach as TO lis methods.
