BURGLAR OR PAINTER.
The Bridgeport Pet Lion Isn't Particula,
 Which He Eats.

BRIDGEPoRT, Conn.,, June 1S.-Frank c. Callahan's young pet lion Claude who tried to eat up burglar that broko into the house last week, has changed his dict ary ideas and attempted to dcvour paint CT. When MT. Callahan saw the burglars blood on his carpet the other night he sighed and remarked that no lion that has definitely discarded n vegetarian mode of life for something better will willingly return to carrots and green peas.
 The burglar that the lion tried to cat smashed the window frame in his anxiety to get out. A carpenter put in a new frame, and the painter came to color tho new woodwork. Edward Lewis Is his name. He is an appetizing looking dish for a hungry lion, being fat and tender. He knew all about tho lion, as does every one else in Bridgeport, but he had no idea that it was loose. He didn't see any one around when he came Ut as he know the family well he walk right into the lion room, took off his coat and began his work whistling softly the air of Ben Bolt"
 Claude, who is rapidly learning to dis semble, for lions get their food as much by strategy as by strength, was hiding under the lounge waiting for burglar or painter to happen along. Then he crept stealthily out, sprang on MT. Lewis back and began to gnaw at him.
 Never having devoured man before, the beast didn't know how to begin, and so he commenced chewing his coat Tho painter tried to shake him off, but the lion wouldn't shake. Mad with fright, the painter ran round and round the room ut tcring strange cries. The lion seemed to enjoy this at first like small boy on a merry go-rOund. His delighted roars chim- cd in with the painters terrified screams.
 But presently the lion got frightened and jumped off. Lewis then attacked him with his paint brush, stripping him dark blue, Then the painter hOppcd out of the window and went home.
 Mir Callahan now has a blue and yellow man eating lion on his hands that is in need of meal. His window frame is half painted, and all the paint that did not get on the window and the lion is on his new carpet.

IDE IN TROUBLE.
Relieved of His Command on Complaint of
 Rear Admiral Meade.

WASHINGTuN, June lS.-COmmandCr GcnrEr ldr uf the Alcyt, now at Panama, has hgCn relieved of his command by q cnh!cd order. He will be succeeded by Commander Franklin Hanford. at pres Cnt on duty at the New York navy yard, who will take the steamer on July 30 for the iSthmuS. Commander Idc, however will be relieved immediately, not being allowed to retain his command until his successor reaches his ship.
 The reason for this summary action Is found in charges preferred by Rear Ad- miral Meade that the commander had treated him with disrcSpcct. The exact nature of these charges was not made public at the navy department, but it is known that the incident occurred at Pan anna last spring.
 The department acted deliberately in the matter, making n careful invcstiga tion of the case and finally sending copies of the charges by mail to Commander Ide to afford him an opportunity to defend himself Apparently his answer was not satisfactory, us his removal from his com mand followed. Commander Idc will go on waiting orders for an indefinite period of time.
