"You IDIOT" he yelled at Bernard; Il
believe you would crawl right into that
den. That cat was ready TO spring
down on you"
Bernard stood and stared at him, but
failed to make any apologies for his
rashness.
"Wish I'd caught a focus on him." he
said ruefully, when the two had slid
and scrambled back to level ground.
Niardot saw that it was useless TO
demonstrate with him; so he agreed to
go with him next morning and en-
deavor to first photograph and then
shoot the lion or lions from the opposite
cliff. This was n favorable point for
such an operation, and was compara-
lively safe.
The next morning they started at
daylight, but although they watched for
hours they failed to catch a glimpse of
the wild beasts. The third morning they
again made the trip in vain, and the
fourth, and fifth. Not sign of the game
did they see.
Niardot wanted to give up the chase,
but the Photographic instinct was too
strong in his companion.
'I'll get 'em if don't do anything else
this summer" he said doggedly; and
Viardot succumbed to fate.
The sixth morning they reached their
lofty perch on time and waited, with
eyes glued on the entrance of the den
across the chasm.
Bernard arranged his camera, care
fully screwed up the exact focus on the
cavern's mouth, and sat down with
the bulb of the instantaneous shutter
in his palm, ready to squeeze it at an
instant's notice.
Niardot took his station ten feet
away, resting his rifle barrel on a ledge
of granite in front of him, and training
the muzzle on the den. AS it would not
do to make an audible signal, he tied
a long cord to Bernard's ankle and
drawing it taut, held the other end in
his hand.
A half hour later Bernard's heart al
most jumped out of his mouth when
he saw a tawny head polled out of the
cave. At the same instant he felt a
sharp tug on the cord, assuring him
that Viardot had made the same discov-
cry.
Both men held their breath. War
dots finger was on the trigger-guard
His rifle was cooked and his eye
glanced along the steel barrel. Ber-
nard's eyes flashed fire. 1t was mo-
ment of intense eXcitement-an expert
ence seldom met in IA lifetime.
The graceful tan-colored figure OF
the lion came fully into view, perfectly
lined in the strong morning light
against the dark background of the
cave.
'Shall 1 give it to him?" asked Ber-
nard of himself just then he caught
sight of another pair of ears-a head
pair of shoulders-and a second lion

Don't sleep with eyes facing the light
is a caution given by all oculists. A
test by closing the eyes when facing the
light quickly shows that the strain is
only lessened, not removed, and the in
terposition of an adequate shP1e is as
grateful to the shut eyes as when they
are open. 1t is sometimes necessary in
a small room to have the bed face the

good one.

WHO is MR.. HOBART?
\ Little Light Shed Upon the Republican

From the New York. journal.
THE coal trust conspiracy" local
anti-Bryan newspaper informs its read
ers. lis criminal at common law even
if there were no statutes against it. y
And in high vein of righteous wrath
it inquiries, "What is the attorney gen
erals occasion for Sparing lawbreak-
ers whose lawlessness cripples industry
and impoverishcs the people? What is
he afraid of? What is the occult reason
for his inactiyity?'
Perhaps the attorney general is aware
that one of the chief parties to the
criminal conspiracy known as the coal
trust is the New York, Susquehanna
and Western Railroad Company, and
that Garrct A. Hobart, the Republican
nominee for vice president of the United
States. is director of that company,
and therefore one of the responsible
organizers of the trust More than
that, as general counsel for the corpora
tion, he took an active part in formulat-
inc the agreement which now enables Il
few men to rob consumers of coal on one
hand and its miners on the other,
Attorney General Hancock, being
wcll-informed man, is doubtless cogni-
zant of these facts. Being partisan

Cold Figures and Facts.


According to the United States treas
ury report, dated August 81, 1896, the
debt of the government is. 1,22l, s43, $50
Add to this:

Counties debt bt............ l45,0iS. 0i5
Municipalities debt...... 724, ,4G3, ,OGO
Total public debt....... 2,3l0, ,352, 05i

Der, 1895, gave the private and quasi
public debt Of the United States to

Add the public debt...... 2,3lO, 1852, ,05i
Total (public and private) 40, ,O79, 4o1 $40
TO pay this enormous debt, almost
fifty billions of dollars, there is, accord
ing to the treasury report of July, 1896,
the following amount of legal tender
money in the United States:
Gold .................... 1881. s23

Treasury notes ........... 129, 1858 POS
Total Observation-Disclosures. 1,494, $50, ,l73
Ratio of cuwency-S1 to S32 of debt.
However, all legal tender money, cX-
cept gold, is rcdeemable in gold, as ad-
mtted by Secretary Carlisle last week,
which makes the following alteration:
Ratio of currency-Sl to $50 of debt.
If it were possible that all the gold in
the world could be brought to the
United States, and coined into American
money, the people Of this country would
still be unable to pay their debts. Mr..
Carisle's estimate of the amount Of this
metal in the world is SO, 72T, ,Ols, 500.
Ratio Of currency-Sl to S13 Of debt,
If it were possible that all the gold
and silver in the world could be brought
to the United States, and coined into
American money, the people of this
country would still be unable to pay
their debts Mr.. Carlislc's estimate Of
the amount Of silver in the world is
S3,s2O, BAG, which. added to the
known gold, makes total Of S1.547,-
5sO,2lj
Ratio Of currcncy-Sl to $3.50 Of debt.
Summed up briefly, it is seen that the
people Of the United States owe s3a for
each 81 of money in tho country, but,
since the greater part Of our currency is
only token money, they really owe $50
for each 81 they own. If we had all the
gold in the world we would still owe Sl3
for each 81 owned, and, with all the
gold and silver in the world, Sc 80 would
be owed for each 81 owned.
These figures are taken from govern
mont documents, and are therefore, Off
cial We present them to our readers.
without comment, for their earnest con-
sidcration, especially to such as are en-
gagged in business and know what a
scarcity of money means, We will
cheerfully give space to the opinion Of
any man who can find in these official
figures any argument why the primary
money Of the country should he confined

EOR CONTAGIOUS DTSEASES.
Board of Health Committee Appointed to
 Select q Site.

At the meeting of the board of health yesterday afternoon committee con- sisting of Drs. Fleschner and Town send and Commissioner Stannard was appointed to select site and to get es- inmates on plan for a contagious dis ease hospital in accordance with the order passed in the court of common council. The committee will begin it's work immediately and will make a re- port to the board.
 Other committees to look after de- tail of construction and equipment, etc., will be appointed.
 It is understood that several loca- tions have been suggested to the board. With the appointment of the committee the plans for the establish ment of the hospital have assumed a definite status, and it looks as if New Haven is at last to have an institu- ton where contagious diseases may be cared for.
 The alleged nuisance caused by the overflow of water on vacant lots in the vicinity of State and Mechanic streets was made the special order of the next meeting. All the parties in interest will be cited in at the meeting and Corporation Counsel Ely will be re- quested to be in attendance upon the meeting.
 The usual number of nuisances were ordered abolished by the board.

YdLE,S WORK 1T HENLEY.


. Practising Starts and Short Spurts With Trinity falI-In Minute and n Half Dash Yale Led tho Trinity Hall Second
 Crew by hree-quarters of a Length.
 Henley, June 3O.-The Yale crew was out on the river as usual this morning and practiced starts with Trinity Halls second crew.
 Tn a minute and half dash Yale led the Trinity Hall boat by three-quarters of a length
 Trinity Hall rowed from the start to Fawley Court boat house in S:39 at a thirty-six stroke.
 The Yale men did not row against time, though they made some short stretches at a high stroke. The New College and Leander crews, like Yale, did not row against time.
 The Yale crew afterward picked up the Trinity Hall second and Dublin university crews for half a mile, at the finish of which Yale had a good lead.
 Included in the list of invitations to the garden party which the Yale men will give on Thursday are all or the crews which are entered in the race TOT the Grand Challenge cup and the DuKe and Duchess of Marlborough, to whom invitations were sent this morning. A number of prominent Americans are also invited. The guests will be enter tained with music and recitations.
 The Yale men criticise the new Eng fish oars unreservedly, declaring that they are heavy and that they SUCK in the water. Bob Cook. however, says that the crew will probably use them in the race.
 Dr. Mcdowell of Chicago, who is en- tered in the race for the Dlaiiloiu U Souls. is still regarded as or douptlui quality.
 The Yale men this afternoon prac- ticed with pair oars for two hours pe- fore rowing over the full course. Ihey covered the full course in 7:26 ana the half in 3:35, rowing 37 and 36 strokes to the minute. The New College crew made the last half of the course m 5.5o. The Emanuel college grew roWed over the course in 7:30. They were plcked up on the last half by the Trinity Hal boat. Their slow time is owing to their poor condition, but they made halt the course in 3:33.
 Clark coxswain of the Yale crew, who has been suffering from an attack of tonsilitis is much improved and will occupy his place in the boat in to-mor- rows practice. Longacre, No. in the Yale boat; who suffered for some days from neuralgia, has entirely recovered. The stretchers in Yale's boat have been adjusted to fit the changed slides.
