In the Associated Press o OF

that the game wss played under pro

scented in the game" Section 4s OF the

the case. Failure TO furnish to = per

the forfeiture Of a game for failure to

The orense is insignificant and ths

OF the game are treated shabbily on the

Not more than one in fifty of the H.

han-Eating Lions Devour the Advswos
Guard of Civilization

Guard of Civilization
Some further facts have been re-
ceived about the man-eating lions
which made such a panic among 1000
indian coolies working on the Uganda
railroad a few months ago. It appears
that the first time the laborers knew
anything about lions that make a bust
ness Of killing men to eat was one day
when one Of the brutes, in broad day
light, as the laborers were strung along
the line with shoyels in hand, sudden
~ sprang in among them, crushed one
poor fellows skull with a terrible blow
OF his paw and manned another 50
badly that he could not get away. OF
course all the Mortified workmen tool
to their heels and raised the alarm at
the camp a mile away. The district
engineer and his assistant at once went
10 the spot, but the lion had disap-
peared, leaving all OF the two bodies he
could not eat at one meal. After that
an armed guard was kept along the
line OF work, but it made little differ
ence to the animals that were deter
mined to have men to eat. They would
spring like a fash out of the jungle,
sieze a man and bear him off beyond
pursuit. Two days after the first man
was killed another man was taken, and
the next day another disappeared. and
within a fortnight eleven men had been
siezed. all from one camp. The third
week brought the list OF victims VI to
fifteen. The sixteenth victim was one
Of the coolie oyerseers, a huge man,
standing oyeT six feet and weighing
more than 200 pounds. He was the
first mar to reach the work line in the
morning, and just as he was giving
some instructions a lion sprang upon
him and dealt him a terrible blow on
the head. crushing the skull. Then ne
coolly began to eat his prey. while the
shiyering Indians stood about 300 feet
away feeling that they were safe now
that the lion had got his man. Some
how it didn't occur to them to shoot
till the brute had finished his meal,
and then they blazed away in a terrific
volley and ended the animals career
then and there. 1t was o till TWEEN
ty-eight coolies had been killed that
the large force of workmen went on
strike. They declined to do another
bit of work till all the maneaters had
been cleared u of the surrounding
country. Work was suspended till a
party OF hunters had laid low the last
OF these formidable foes of man, and
since then no further casualties of the
sort have been reported.

MRS. vANDERBILT's DOUBLE.
She Has Been Having a Great Deal of
Fun.

Fun.
Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., has
a double in Newport who. on account
of her resemblance to the mistress Of
Belvoir. has been receiving attention
that she thoroughly enjoyed for a long
time without knowing the reason for
it, says a correspondent of the Denver
Post. She could attribute it only to a
sudden and u-naccountable streak OF
politeness on the part of the storekeep-
ers Of Newport. The young lady is
Miss Bertha Eddy, a pretty little bru-
nette of Newport. an almost exact
counterpart of Mrs. Vanderbilt in form
and feature. II was shortly after the
marriage of Miss Virginia Fair to Will
liam X. Vanderbilt. Jr.. and her arrival
in this city that Miss Eddy noticed a
marked change in the attitude of the
storekeepers of Newport toward her
when she had occasion to visit their
establishments. The treatment Of her
was so obseQuious that Miss Eddy
could not accoun for it. n it was i n
such striking contrast TO that which
a native Newporter is in the habit of
receiving that she could not fail to
notice ii. After one or two experiences
of this kind Miss Eddy began to won
der and was at a loss how to account
for it. The mystery was explained
one afternoon on a visit TO a florists
establishment. when she was adj
dressed as Mrs. Vanderbilt. The sit
uation dawned upon the pretty little
brunette like a flash, and in a spirit
of fun she concluded not to enlighten
the florist as to his mistake. The nov
city. too, of the courteous treatment
she had received was rather too pleas
ant to dispel. Miss Eddy's simple
purchases did not seem to attract the
attention of the storekeepers from the
fact, perhaps, that Mrs. Vanderbilt has
already acquired the reputation Of be-
ing a thrifty housewife. For nearly
three months this had been kept up
and now that Mrs. Vanderbilt has be.
come a familiar figure here and i.
known to every one in Newport, Miss
Eddy tinds that on visiting a store she
is now treated with less distinguished
courtesy. The situation is all the
more humorous to the young lady. a:

carry out the deception. the storekeep,
ers having deluded themselves.

THE WIFE n THE
STRANGE WOMAN.

Arthur Sanger was head clerk in a
dry goods store. Clara Heartily worked
In a tailor's shop. She had a pretty
face. winning ways, and a loving,
trusting little heart; SO, when after
a few weeks acquaintance, Arthur
Sanger asked her TO be his wife, she
smiled and blushed charmingly, and
soon after she became Mrs. Sanger.
The first bit Of sorrow Clara expe-
rienced after her marriage was one
morning when Arthur tenderly inform
ed her that he should be Obliged TO go
to New York on business for the firm,
and would be absent three whole days.
1t was a sad. gloomy tine 10 poor
Clara. but the three miserable days
came to an end at last, and with a
light heart she arrayed herself TO go
to the depot to meet her husband. He
would not expect her.
The train came putting In. Clara was
a few steps from the edge Of the plat
form, when she saw Arthur alight and
hold out his hand to assist a beautiful,
dark-eyed lady down the steps, and
"H0h ndS Lei uloLHdgf do SAt pIc1Scu
her way through the crowd to greet
him, to see him draw the lady's hand
through his arm and hear him say in
a low voice:
Pull down your veil, Alice. and
walk deliberately through the depot"
For a moment objects swan before
Clara's eyes, but, lowering her own
veil, she followed the couple out. She
managed to keep them in sight until
they entered the Sweeney hotel.
Then, with a heart she thought was
breaking, she goes home, how, she
hardly knew. 1t was half an hour be-
fore Arthur came; and Clara had
thought it all over, and resolved not
to say one word about her being at
the depot. and see if he would make
any explanation. He returned her
warm greeting in an affectionate, but
absent way. not even noticing her pale
cheeks and eyes red with weeping.
The next morning, after Arthur had
eaten his breakfast, mechanically kiss
ed her abstractedly, and gone to the
store. Clara went up to her chamber
threw herself upon a lounge, and wish

die, for II her husband was really IN

NO, indade; he said Miss Sanger,

Wondering vaguely who 1t could be,
she bathed her eyes, smoothed her hair
and went down. AS she entered the
parlor a manly form rose and held
out his arms toward her. One glance

Clara hesitsted a moment, then,
dropping her head on her brothers

wretched story.

Charles asked, m~usingly, after she had

Food for Thought.

There is no denying the fact that this
has been a disastrous year for minor
leagues. Every one OF them has met
with more or less trouble. Some OF
them have gone under. while Others
are apparently struggling in their
death throes. First the Southern
League disbsRded, to be soon followed
by the Texas League. Some time aso
the Western Association collapsed.
People who knew correctly OF its make

But the difficulties that have beset the
path of the Atlantic League have been
such as to astonish the patrons of the

that he had reached first base on an
average OF twice vi OF every three
