STRANGE PLACE FOR BAPTISM
The Daring Fent Performed By n Lion
Tanner in Cape Town. South.
Africa.

An extraordinary ceremony VIVA
performed in Cape Town a few weeks
ago. a lion tanner had been giving ON
exhibition for several days. and one
evening he informed the audience
that he had just become n father and
he intended To hnptize the infant on
the following day in the lions cage.
Those who heard him thought he was
joking, hut when they reached the ex-
hibition hall the next evening they
found that he was in dead earnest.
In the cage he stood. surrounded by
his assistants. and near him were
seated three womcn--his wife, one Of
her friends and the godmother OF tho
infant. To the left Of them stood the
clergyman, holding the baby in his
arms. and behind him was q gigantic
African named Leo. who was to net ms
godfather ON the occasion. Facing
this fearless group were two huge
lions. whose every action showed thnt
they were immehsurably surprised at
the intrusion of so many strangers
into their dnmicile. Moreover, their
surprise was the greater since, in
honor OF the event, their cage was
wrcathcd with flowers and splcndidly
Illuminated with electric lights.
The ceremony was duly performed,
and while Il lasted the lions behaved
with 'pcrtcct propriety." much to
the satisfaction and surprise OF the
Immense crowd which thronged the
hall.

Amend Interstate Law.
In 1887 n measure was enacted for
the regulation OF interstate rail-
ways. commonly known as the in
terstate commerce act. The cardinal
provisions OF that act were that
railway rates should be just and
reasonable and that all shippers, To-
calitieS and commodities ahould be
accorded equal treatment. A COM
mission was created and endowed
with what were supposed TO be the
necessary powers 20 execute the pro-
visions Of this act
That law was largely an experi-
ment. Experience has shown the
wisdom OF us purposes, but has also
shown, possibly that some OF It's re-
quirements are wrong. certainly that
the means devised for the enforce
ment OF Its provisions are defective,
Those who complain OF the manage
ment OF the railways allege that cs-
tahlishod rates are not maintained;
that rebates and similar devices are
habitually resorted to. that these
preferences are usually ia favor OF
the large shipper; that they drive
out OF business the smaller compe-
utori That while many rates are
too low many others are excessive:
