a deafening roar. They little knew that
q tragedy was being enacted, and
thought it was part of the business"
when a beautiful head dropped down,
and the blood spurted from the white,
unclothed arms.
What passed just then in the mind or
the wretched creature who stood watch
ing the horrible sight? Was he con-

with pity at the sight of so much youth
and beauty being ruthlessly torn to
pieces? Did he wish to undo what he
had done?
No one can tell, but just as the bear

seized the brute with his muscular
arms With a mighty effort he pulled
the bear off his victim and flung him to
the ground.
The passion which famine and excite

him to turn with furious force on his
master. AS they rolled over together
in the sawdust the bear caught the
dwarf in terrible embrace. There was
a cracking of bones, and before the
people belonging to the circus had time
to run to his aid the infuriated beast
had planted his fangs into his neck.
And the crowd, little suspecting that
a grim tragedy had taken place before

Chicago Boy, Insane from a Blow
Made Sane-Asks, "Why Did
You Hit Me P"

Chicago, Feb. 7.-Twelye years ago
Charles Burren was struck on the head
with a brick Since then, until today, he
has been insane, and for a number of
years he was an inmate of the Eastern H.
1inois Insane asylum at Kankakee. Yes
terday DR.. w. G. Stearns, at the asylum,
aided by the X-ray, operated on BurrelP s
skull. Today the. cloud, which, had So
long obscured the light of Burrelrs mind,
had passed away and he began life where
he left off twelve years ago
When but boy Burren had a quarrel
with playmate, who threw brick at
him. He was dazed by the blow. and
never recovered from it's effects until the
operation of yesterday. DR.. Stearns put
the young man in chair. With the X-ray
a skiagraph of the skull was taken. This
showed a thickening of the bone near the
top of the skull on the left side. This
was removed in the usual manner, the for
eign matter excised, and the patient was
put to bed.
He awoke today entirely rational and
his first words were :''Why did you hit
me?''
Burren had been treated in a Wiscon-
sin asylum and his case was PRONOUNCED
incurable. He had been in the Kankakee
institution since 1896

Atlantic City, N. J., Feb. 7.-Colored
men and women of the more exclusive
class in their own race will have an
opportunity in the coming summer to
stay in a large, modern hotel, fronting
on the boardwalk, in this place, and will
have section of the beach in front Of
the hotel where they may battle in the
surf or romp on the sand at will with
out being interfered with by white folk.
The facts became known today. AL
though the hotel which has been rent
ed for their accommodation is in the
most popular part of the ocean front,
and heretofore has been managed and
patronized exclusively by white folk,
nothing has been heard as yet in the
form of objection from the owners of
adjacent property.
The Grand Pacific hotel is the one
which will be used by the colored per-
sons. 1t faces the boardwalk between
Georgia and Florida avenues, and will
accommodate about 200 guests. Thos.
c. Murray and Thomas Hewitt, colored,
are the lessees. They Will open the house
about May 1 and will employ colOred
servants only. Many repairs and al
teratiOnS will be made in the building,
it will be furnished in modern style and
the new leSseeS say, only refined, ,cultur-
ed colored persons will be permitted to
stay in the house. An average rate of
So a day will be charged.
The question as to how much of the
beach the colOred folk will have a right
to use has already been raised. White
persons staying here in past seasons, no
matter in which hotel, have wandered
up and down the beach at will, bathing
in the surf at any point that best suit
ed their fancy, and whether the colored
folk will take the same privilege is the
point most under discussion now.
