Maybrick, the American woman confin-
ed for many years in an English prison
Tor the alleged murder of her husband

city and the plan is to have them sign
petitions to kink Edward. asking the
release of Maybrick. The strong asso-
citation of Cleveland Canadians is TO be
used 10 get thousands more Canadian
signatures 10 the petitions.
The movement is expected to have
much more weight With the king than
previous attempts made by Americans
because of the abuse heaped on the
English crown by citizens of the United
States interested in the case, as well as
because Of the kings anxiety to be pop
nlar with his Canadian subjects.

not less than do small boys and round
eyed children listen with pleasure to
| the tales of some venerable uncle OF
grandfather, who relates the story Of
the wolves that used to howl about his
cabin or visit his sheep-fold when first
he settled in the country.
In this land of America, as many
know there are no such things as dam
gerous animals, though there are crea-
lures which may be made dangerous.
The wolf, the bear and the cougar are
far more anxious to get away from
man than man is to get away from
them If given the opportunity they
will always slip away and run, and if
they fight it is because they believe
that they have been cut off from every
avenue of escape. Where an animal
has been wounded it is q different mat
ter. Then, often, considerations of
prudence are forgotten and the animal
acts on impulse, instead of doing what
it knows to be wise; but even so there
is much more danger from wounded
deer than from wounded panther and
vastly more from wounded moose.
But for the average man who is trav-
cling through new country where wild
animals may be plenty, who stops
when he has made a days march and
Is at home where night finds hif, there
is not now. nor ever was, more danger
from the wild animals of the country
than from the lightnings which blaze
in the summer sky. Many more people
have been killed by lightning than have
been run over by stampeding buffalo
herds, or killed by unwounded grizzly
bears, or by all the other animals of the
prairie put together. One might al
most say that more people have been
struck by falling meteorites than have
been killed by panthers or wolves. And
yet from day to day the newspapers
continue to print bear stories, cata-
mount stories ana wolf stories, and
probably they will do so until long af
ter the last bear, catamount and wolf
shall have disappeared fromth land.

A SAD BEREAVEMENT.
Death of Mrs. Charles l.. Wright, Of

Death of Mrs. Charles l.. Wright, of
Fair Haven, Last Evening.
A large circle of friends will deeply
regret to learn of the death of Mrs.
Sarah e. Whitney, beloved wife Of
Charles L. Wright, of No. 81 Wolcott
street She passed away last evening
after brief illness. Her death will be
greatly lamented, as she was much en-
deared to her many friends by her beau
tiful traits of character. She leaves,
besides her husband, who is the pro-
prietor Of the Nonpareil Laundry on
Blatchley avenue, married daughter,
Mrs. Eta Rogers, wife of George Rog-
ers, of Blatchley avenue. She leaves
also a son, who is captain of the sloop
Kestrel, Fair Haven vessel.
Mr. Wright, father of Captain Wright,
received letter yesterday from his son
announcing the loss of the latter's YES
sci on Hog Island Inlet, in Virginia.
The vessel went ashore on a bar, and
wreckers were at work trying to save
her.
The arrangements for the funeral of
Mrs. Wright have not yet been COM
pleted.

MANS FEAR OF WILD ANIMALS.

Has Little Basis in This Country.
OF all questions asked by people who
have never been much out of doors,
none seems so simple to the old-timers
as that which concerns the dangers to
which the camper may be exposed from
tba attacks of wild beasts. 1t is chiefly
women and children who ask such
questions, but it is evident that in the
brains of many inexperienced persons
is firmly established q belief that wild
animals are dangerous-that wolves
panthers and bears prowl about, seek
ing whom they may devour. This be-
lief is in all probability survival In
part of earlier days, when the most
civilized men dwelt largely in the east,
where might be encountered lions who
would attack them, or hyenas ready to
snap UP the stray child wandering
away from the camp, or bears Of the
type encountered by the irreverent in
fants who apostrophized Elisha; and
also in part of that time when the
weapons of primitive man were so fee
BILE and of so little avail against the
wild beasts that these were justly to be
feared.
This feeling, already existing, is en-
couraged and strengthened by a GER
tain amount of the writing of the day.
