MARRIED IN A LIONS DEN.
Attraction That Drew Thousands to
Chutes Park Yesterday.

Denver, Aug. 11.-With lions as a bri-
DIAL party and their hungry roars for a
wedding march, Miss Jennie Allen OF
1902 West Twenty-third avenue and
Charles Roger the proprietor of a Lar
inner street book store, were made one
in the den of lions at Chutes park yes
terday afternoon before 5000 people
The ceremony was performed by JUS
tice Hunt, who discreetly remained on
the outside of the cage.
The occasion was touched with no lit
tie excitement and when the hungry
beasts began to roar the people wit
Messing the ceremony went wild, while
the contracting parties remained mo-
tionless but very nervous and pale.
The wedding was advertised for
O'Clock The beasts had not been Civ
en- their supper and were, some of them
in a surly mood, snarling and growing
all the while. Nine. Pianka entered
the cage boldly and whipped them
around with her rawhide whip for a few
minutes and then followed her usual
method of convincing them that she
was their mistress by firing pistol into
their faces.
Then, when all the lions were huddled
into one corner. she stood between
elect entered the den first. She was
nervous, but, beyond a scared express
sion and a pale face, did not betray it.
She took up her stand nearest the lions,
while the groom entered and stood be-
side her.
Hurry up, they are hungry and
mean this evening-haven't had supper
yet" she cried. The justice proceeded
to act, but in the nervousness forgot
his lines once, and at two or three
points was interrupted by the thunder
ing roar of a lion or two. When the
lions roared women and children
screamed and the ceremony stopped,
but in few minutes the justice pro-
nounced the couple one.
Then came the most dangerous part
of the ceremOny-getting out of the
cage Nine. Pinaka guarded with her
1awhide and pistol until the pair made
a hasty exit, after which the lions
broke away from their place in the cor
ner and sprang against the iron bars in
a rage. They roared and snarled, at
tempting to snap those closest to the
stage

PROBE POLICE SCANDALS.
Berry Inquisition Likely to Resume
at Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Berry committee,
unless all signs fail, is getting ready to
play a return engagement in Chicago and
dip into alleged police department corrup-
ton and evasion of the civil service law
Senator Berry promised when the com
mittee finished its work last spring to
come back here during the summer or fall
unless, as he put it. those Chicago city
officials brace up and behave themselves"
1.-The Berry committee will be back in
town before the fail election is a rumor
that has been going around among pOliti-
clans for a couple of weeks.
Senator Berry himself chairman of the
sions of last spring, has been much in
town for about ten days and moving in
mysterious ways. He has acted a s if do
ing little investigating on his own hook
He has been in conference with politicians
of his party. with members of the organ
ization of former policemen who did a lot
of work for the Berry committee last
spring. and with z. r. Bliss, who appear
ed at the sessions of the committee as at
torney for the former policemen.

A PEACE FETE.
Chicago Tosses Overheard Her Old
Carnival For Something Grander.


Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE peace jubilee
has swallowed the Commercial associa-
tons Chicago carnival at a gulp. The
process of digestion and assimilation
will be completed this afternoon, when
the plans for the celebration will be dis
cussed and mapped out at the yelling
ton hotel by a committee of six. The
conference at the Union leage at
o'clock yesterday afternoon lost no time
in tossing the gaudy program that had
been prepared into the limbo of forget
fulness.
1t was first determined that there
should be a peace celebration, and then
as a consequence Of this it was felt that
the occasion demanded something bet
ter than sea serpents breathing coIored
fire and Roman candles. The confer
ence came to no conclusion as to the de-
tails Of plans, but it was the general
idea that local coloring could properly
be given to a portion of the program,
so that probably one week will be de-
voted to the national peace jubilee
The movement for the erection of a
permanent peace arch found favor with
nearly everybody present. One of the
suggestions offered by B. ]. ROsenthaI
of the National Business league was
that President Mckinley be invited to
dedicate the site for the arch. The
another celebration similar to that
held when the Logan monument was
unveiled.
The Commercial associations COM
mittee, the committee of the Business
league and the Citizens committee, ap-
pointed by Mr.. Selfridge as chairman
Of the Great Northern hotel meeting,
were present, and Ferdinand w. Peck,
who had been invited to attend the
conference, called up by long distance
telephone from Oconomowoc, being I'M
able to reach the city in time to join
the discussion.
After luncheon. during which the
matter was informally discussed, the
conference took uD the matter of a
meme for the celebration. It was
quickly evident that the advocates of
a carnival on old time lines were in the
minority. Only Secretary Smith of the
Commercial association spoke in favor
of that proposition. John w. Ella made
an earnest plea for a patriotic celebra-
ton on a national scale. He said Chi
cagO was capable of producing a fete
that would attract the foremost men
of the country. If this city set to work
with it's customary VigOr to arrange a
peace jubilee in the light of the splend-
id traditions of the Worlds Fair he
said the heart of the nation would throb
here next fall.
c. F. Quincy was also a. spokesman
for the peace jubilee idea. Everyone
present made some suggestion and the
overwhelming sentiment was in favor
of dropping not only the name but the
notion of a carnival
Efforts will be made to secure the
presence of the president and his cabi-
net. governors of states and their staffs
and the commanders of fleets and ar
mics, and to have the streets filled with
the veterans of the war of 1898. Sug-
gestiOns that typical scenes from the
history of Chicago might fitting1y form
the peace de resistance of the local part
of the celebration were received with
favor.
