L.ASSOED \ SEA LION.

The Animal Then Dragged Him Into
the Water.
C F. Monroe. q resident of Fresno County,
who has been spending some weeks in this
vicinity hunting and fishing, principally on
the coast, met with an experience which
nearly cost him his life. says Il correspond
ent of the San Francisco Examiner.
Monroe. who had been camping in the
red-woods near Csal, discovered, while
riding on the beach some miles south of Bar
Harbor, a group of sea lions summing them
selves. He determined to get shot at
one. Accordingly, dismounting, he de-
scribed a wide circle and came upon them
unawares. Watching them for some mo-
ments, he finally took aim and fired, but
his aim was untrue, and. though wOunding
a lion severely, the animal was still able
TO founder about, and was making all
possible haste to Ogetback to the " ater again.
Being an expert with his lasso, Monroe
undertook to capture the creature, and,
mounting his horse, he unlOosed his rope
and threw it over the lion head and behind
one of its flippers, then, taking a turn with
the rope around the pummel of his saddle
Notwithstanding the wounded condition of
the lion, it still struggled toward the water.
1t was not long before all were flounderinS
in the surf.
Monroe finally succeeded in looscning the
rope from the pummel Of his saddle, when
he found he had forgotten to unfasten it
from the horses neck. Being in the surf
it was too dangerous to now try and cut it,
and, to save himself, he cast adrift his
faithful animal and struggled for the shore,

Bishop Turner DecIa res 1t Is the Para-
disc of the Negro.

An address was last evening delivered
by Bishop Henry NJ. Turner, of the A. NJ.
E. Church, at the Metropolitan Church, be-
fore a large audience.
In the course of his remarks Bishop
Turner said that there is no future for
the negro in the United States. He be-
lieves matters will grow worse instead
of better. The Supreme Court. he said,
had decided that he had no civil rights.
Mississippi and South Carolina had dis
franchised him. and throughout the South
he was subjected to unparalleled maltreat-
ment.
The bishop said he had recently re-
turned from a visit to Africa, and pro-
nounced Liberia the paradise of the ne
gro, its soil being rich and fertile and its
future promising. There he believed the
American negro might develop great
nation which would command the respect
OF the civilized world.

action in which Mr.. Warde excels in this
play than in the "Mountebank," SO that
the verdict was more unanimous Is to the
measure of success of last nights play
Mr.. Warde's action at .he close of the
