Chillicothie, O., Aug. Tn Thomas
Hurd's animal show, which is part of
Hagenback's menagerie, and is now
showing at the fair grounds, is large
lion which was chained near the en-
trance to the tent as a catching adver-
tisement. 1t was a young beast and
the proprietor prided himself on its
docility. Eddie Hurd, 10 months old,
son of the proprietor, was playing near
the animal. A negro servant left the
child near the lion while she went for
a bucket of water. Some one appraised
the mother of the fact, but she said
there was no danger, as the lion would
not hurt anything. The child crawled
within reach and the animal seized
the infant by the head and shook it as
a dog would rat. The mother, reck-
less of danger, rushed to the rescue of
her babe, and might have been torn to
pieces but for the quick presence Of
mind of the father, who struck the
lion with whip. The lion let 60 of
the child, but was a corpse, its head
being crushed out of all semblance to
anything human. The affair caused a
panic in the crowded grounds and soon

England's Naval Bulwark Is Not I'M
pregnable.
London, Aug. 4.-The result of the
naval maneuvers just concluded have
given shock to Englishmen, who i'm
agined that Great Britain's naval bull
wark was impregnable. The idea OF
the maneuvers was that the foreign
feet was trying to reach Loughswilly,
and that q British feet, which was
much stronger and faster, had to pre-
vent it. The foreign feet met off Tor
bay and the British feet was spread
from Lands End to Lap cape, close by,
but the foreiebn feet did not try to
pass up the Irish sea. 1t went around
the west coast of Ireland and succeeded
in reaching Loughswilly unmolested.
This was complete reversal Of what
was generally expected, and is held to
prove that the landing of an invading
force in Great Britain is quite possible,
even though greatly superior naval
force will be trying to bar the way.
