THEY MET A MAD PANTHER
Two Young Men Have an Experience in
Florida
A Maternal Beast Crouched In . Tree and
Sprang Upon the Destroyers
Of Her Young

Juno, Fla, March 11.-William Curry
and John Crawford, young men who have
been spending the winter here hunting,
were attacked by panther yesterday
evening. Curry received wounds which
are thought to be fatal, while Crawford
will lose an eye. The young men were
out hunting and their dog treed young
panther which they shot, and, not sus-
pecting the presence of the mother PAN
ther, the young men laid down their guns
and began work at skinning the animal.
They had hardly begun work when the
mother panther, which was crouching in
the limb, OF tree overhead, sprang upon
them. The hunters were crushed to the
ground and for few minutes were at the
enraged beasts mercy. The animal
planted its claws in the left side of Curry s
face and tore it open. The unfortunate
man rolled over, only to receive another
blow from the razor-like claws. In the
the panther struck him in the right eye,
almost tearing it from the socket; Craw-
ford although in agony and half blinded,
began to strike the beast with his hunting
knife. He dealt it blow after blow, the
fight taking place over Curry's body. :.
Finally the knife found the panther's
heart, and it dropped dead on the uncon-
scious Curry. Crawford was 80 exhausted
that he could not go for assistance, and
the mangled men lay there until night
fall, when they were rescued by another
party of hunters. Curry was found to be
frightfully wounded, and the physicians
say that the stroke which the panther
dealt him across the abdomen will likely
prove fatal. Crawford's principal injury
is the right eye, which will have to be re-
moved. Curry came here from Illinois
and Crawford is from Pennsylvania. The
panther is the largest ever killed on Lake
Worth

INTERVIEW WITH THE POPE
General George Bachelor Tells Long
Story
His Holiness Had No Criticism to Take on the
American School
System

Albany, N. Y, March lin q letter
written to state official, Gen. George s.
Bachelor, formerly minister to Portu-
gal, details noteworthy interview with
the Pope. The Pope expressed regret that
certain newspapers and public men in
America objected to his sending a dele
gate to Washington, or sending out an
encyclical, as tending to meddle with the
affairs of a foreign government.
''This is an error" said the Pope II
do not ask to meddle with the affairs of
governments except to admonish my peo-
pie to obey the civic law and to conform
to the authority of the land in which they
dwell. l sent legate to America in order
that I might be better informed as to the
character of American institutions and
peculiarities of its national and state gov
hct, if there should be any, between the
government OF my church and the gov
ernment of the land
General Batchellor writes: His Holi-
ness had no criticism to make on our
school SYSTEM" He said: II am in
formed the liberal party controlling the
state of New York chose one Of our
priests as regent of the university, and
am told two senators of that great land
represent two creeds-one Protestant and
one Catholic. How then can l complain
of the institutions of America? The more 1

frain from strikes, never to resort to vio-
lence to redress grievance, but appeal to

a system which allows those who pay
nothing to tax their fellow citizens. One
evil step will lead to another, as one
vice follows another, until bye and bye
we will have revolution, then anarchy,
then tyrant to rule us as the revolving
changes go around"
Justice Harlan asked Mr.. Edmunds If
he had formulated a definition of the
difference between a direct and indirect
tax, and he replied he had. He thetre-
upon proceeded to give it, saying direct
tax was a tax on any kind of property
and upon persons, not in respect OF prop
erty existence, acquired or to be ac-
CURED, not on a calling, on the importa-
ton OF goods, but in respect to the things
which belong to the existence OF property,
while an indirect tax included all the
rest, as referred to in the constitution
under the head of duties imports and
excises, which would be heavy or light on
each person deepening upon his will.
Do you not" asked Justice Brown,
regard a tax that is paid by a person as
a direct tax?" and Mr.. Edmunds assented.
Asked by Justice Shi as to give dehni-
ton of excise, he quoted Jacobs and
Johnson. where the latter says it is a
hateful hateful! task, - collected by "wTetches.m >.
would fit his (Mr. EdmundsQ idea of the
income tax, to which Mr.. Edmunds re-
piled that it did in part.
Mr.. Edmunds closed with plea for
equality in action. He had known it to
be the mission OF the Supreme Court, the
tribunal of last resort, to correct such mis-
takes, and made last appeal for return
to the principles of equality and uni
form justice even if in doing SO it became
necessary for it to reverse a former de-
cision.
Mr.. Edmunds closed at 80 O'Clock and
the court adjourned until tomorrow, as
Attorney-General Olney, who is to speak
next stated that the hour left was not
sufficient for him. Mr.. Olney said, in re-
ply to a question from the court, that he
should not require more than an hour
more of the time, while Mr.. Carter, who
is to follow, said he should desire to speak
for about two hours, and Mr.. Choate,
who is to close, said he would probably
ask for more time than two hours. 1t is
probable, therefore, the argument will
consume all day tomorrow and large
part of Wednesday.

HE WAS TIRED OF LIFE
How an ex.Indian Scout Made Surcease
of Trouble
Suicide Of an Aged Man Who Had Done Great
Service for His Country in
Indian Wars

San Francisco, March 11.-Alphonse
Lazar, an ex-Indian trader and ex-scout,
aged sixty-four, shot himself through the
forehead at the French hospital and died
in few minutes. Lazar had suffered for
years from an incurable malady. Lazar
leaves fortune of $4,000 behim him.
He was not mourned. Henry Lazar, a
clerk in drug store, was his nephew and
his nearest relative in this country. De-
ceased was an Alsatian by birth. He came
to this country thirty-five years ago and
settled in Arizona when that territory was
entitled to its wild and woolly" reputa-
ton. In the old days when the Apaches
wandered over the country carrying death
and destruction before them, when set
tiers were cut down in cold blood, Lazar
was in the service as scout. He was a
fluent linguist, speaking French, Spanish,
German and all the Indian tongues and
Mexican patois with ease. Thus he was
enabled to trade with the natives, and
soon he became known through Arizona
and adjoining territories and down into
New Mexico. In this manner he built up
quite handsome fortune which will go
to the Public Administrator until it is
divided by the court among the lawful
heirs.

Business Hanager flakes Some
Sweeping Reductions

San Francisco, March 1.-THE wave Of
economy has struck the medical and
surgical department of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Company.
John F. Foster, who has been superin-
tendent and secretary, with an Office in
the company's headquarters building,
has been dismissed, and DR.. M. Gardner,
who has taken charge of the department,
is making a general reduction in the
number of physicians who draw Southern
Pacific money as salary. The force in
this city has been reduced from three to
one besides DIR. Gardner, and similar re-
ductio have been ordered at all points
between here and Portland and Ogden
and Ell Paso. Division surgeons are to
be retained at central points along the
various lines, and surgeons are to be re-
tained at the various small towns along
the lines: but under the new rules the
surgeons will render only temporary
services when summoned, and will not be
permitted to perform any surgical opera
ton until the arrival of the division sur
geon, except where it may be necessary
to save life.

San Francisco, March 11.-Fritz Theo-
dore Brochner, an accomplished young
man from Copenhagen, who led strange
dual life in San Francisco for nearly a
year until ten days ago, has gone astray
at San Diego, where he is now in Jail for
stealing diamond ring worth $125 from a
lady at the Trenouth House. Brochner
first appeared in San Francisco about a
year ago, and made his headquarters at
the Young Mems Christian Association
hail. where he made many professions OF
piety. He had no money, no friends and
no employment, but he soon became well
enough acquainted with young minister
to induce the latter to take great interest
in his welfare. He finally secured Brooch
ner situation as waiter in q cheap cafe
on Kearney street and bought him an
apron and jacket.
He was given charge Of the table for
ladies, and his linguistic accomplish
ments enabled him to address the patrons
of the cafe in half dozen tongues. His
duties usually ended about 6 p. M, after
which time he invariably went to his
lodgings and changed his clothing. He
usually wore silk hat and gloves. ar
Boy" and carried fashionable cane.
He walked like an aristocrat, had dis
tinguished foreign air and was figure
to attract attention. Brochner made
friends with distinguished travellers at
the leading hotels, to do which he some
times registered at the Palace, where he
would chat in French or Italian for hours.
He told his casual acquaintances that
he was count, and the people he met at
the Palace were never likely to run across
him at the cheap restaurant where he was
employed. Hence he was able to live his
envied as distinguished visitor at vari-
Gus clubs in the city. A few weeks ago
ne grew weary Of a salary of "a week and
board, so he told his friends he was going
to Chicago, where he exected to secure a
better situation. He said he had wealthy
uncle at Copenhagen, and that his uncle
had agreed to send him some money.
About ten days Brochner told his en-
ployer that the draft from Copenhagen
had arrived. He secured the money and
went away the next day. He stated that
he was going to Chicago, but he went to
San Diego instead.

Der of victims. They were in San Jose
only week.
During that time they had big signs

LIABILITY OF CARRIERS
Important Decision Handed Down by thu
United States Court

Important Decision Handed Down by the
United States Court
Washington, March lin the United
States Supreme Court today, was heard
the case of James Henderson ct al, own
ers OF the steamer Caledonia, against
Mayer Goldsmith, involving the question
of liability of a carrier tor loss by delay in
the shipment of merchandise. The case was
appealed by the owners of the vessel from
the decision of the Circuit Court for the
Massachusetts district which held them
responsible for loss caused by delay in
the shipment of cattle. The defense
in the original case was that
the delay was occasioned by the
breaking of the vessels shaft. The court
held, however, that the exception was not
sufficiently specific and sustained the de-
cision of the court below. A vessel, said
Chief Justice Fuller, in delivering the
opinion, must be really seaworthy; it was
not sufficient that its owners should think
it was seaworthy. Justices Brown, Har-
Ian and Brewer dissented. The court an
nounced that the Interstate Commerce
cases, one of which involves the long and
short haul, and another Of which is
known as the 'Social Circle case has
been restored to the docket for re-argu-
ment at the next term.
The court also announced recess until
Monday, the 25th inst, after disposing of
cases now on hearing.
