TWENTY-FoUR NAMES STAND
Real Estate Exchange Committee
Finds Itself Unable TO AEree
on -Four.

According to reports from the meeting
Of the Real Estate exchange committee,
that organization is much in doubt as to
the four men who would suit the majority
over all other as members of the Board
Of Fire and Police Commissioners The
committee held a meeting yesterday for the
purpose Of reducing the list Of names pub
lished in The Bee to four. This is the way
the attempt resulted, according to a member
OF the committee:
when we mes every man had his list
reduced to four. These lists we're then
submitted for the consideration OF the COM
mittee. These twenty-four names were
then read and the result Of interviews with
prominent party leaders and business men
relative to the merits Of each was made
known by persons securing the interviews.
A vote was then taken to secure a reduction
and every man voted for the list he sub
mitted. Two or three other votes were
taken and we then decided to submit to
the governor all the tventy-four names and
to tell him that any four upon the list
would be as satisfactory as any other. IL
was further decided not TO make public the
t~wenty-four names from the list, but there
are no MEMBERS Of the Real Estate ex-
change upon It."
AT L CLOCK II was h'
whether the governor would come to
Omaha or not. J. w. Thomas said that he
had had no word that he would come. j.
H. Van Dusen and a number of politicians
insisted that he would. The Real Estate
exchange committee had no Information
upon the subject and one or W members
went out to CORTLAND beach. where the ex-
change picnic was being concluded. 1t was
later learned that the governor could moi
come to Omaha as he had intended.

still there are REVEALS Of the bright,
sharp sayings Of Richard Mansfield, and
the foremost actor continues in print,
even out Of season, through the courtesy
Of his friends and his friends friends.
A story recently told by a former man
ager OF the actor relates a trip made
through Ohio som years ago. The eAi-
gencies Of the route making made 1t nee
essary that Mansfield should appear on
successive evenings in three ~one-night
stands In that state. When he reached the
town in question he remembered 1t as a
place where he had appeared to a very
small audience two seasons earlier. When
s o'clock came he appeared on the stage
dressed for his role, and peeped through
the hole in the curtain to size up the
gathering. Evidently he was not pleased.
for he returned to his dressing room with
a scowl on his face. Ten minutes later
he reappeared. told the stage manager TO
get ready to ring up" and took another
look through the peep-hole!
"Forty-six persons--forty-sixi" he NUT
tered. l ountsd emf" Then he found
himself face to face with the janitor Of the
theater, who was on the stage, in the
hope Of picking up a tip or two by helping
the actors dress.
"Forty-six peoplel" repeated Mansfield.
"Say-did you ever have a good house
in this town.

but 1t burned down about seven years

AT a signal from Colonel Boone the
trap door leading from the lions
compartment to the larger cage was
sprung. The king of beasts seemed
reluctant to commence the attack.
But finally. after being prodded and
goaded for that purpose, he sprung
with a mighty leap and terrific roar
at bruins throat. The latter stood
erect and received him in his arms,
evidently with surprise rather than
anger at the onslaught. as he made no
immediate effort at attack or defense.
simultaneously with the impact the
lion locked his huge jaws on the
fieshy side Of the grizzly's head. They
stood erect, swaying to and fro In a
mighty struggle for nineteen minutes
by actual count. The lion during this
time was using his claws with terrible
effect. He ripped and tore deep CASH
es In the hide Of his enemy and seemed
bent on carpeting the cage with fur.
Old bruin finally caught the idea that
he was being dealt too much grief and
that something must be done in self
defense at least. Evidently acting on
this thought he reached out with his
powerful arms and enfolded his an

the standpoint Of force, and an oppor-

repugnance against such a spectacle

outcome. On my arrival at the city I
learned the full particulars. Flaming
posters everywhere announced that

following day in which old Parnell, an
African lion weighing $50 pounds.
would be pitted against a $50 pound
grizzly bear. The lion, it was stated.

a performance on the Midway at San

II learned the history of both con-
posed Of two trainers, as was bulletine1,
had also killed three 2-year-old steers
for practice. The bear. on the other
hand, had never killed anything, and
didn't know his own strength. So, al
though having the advantage in
weight, he was comparatively inoffen-
sive. This inequality was a great
handicap to bruin.
Three o'clock the next afternoon
found me at the bull ring looking down
upon a large circular iron cage in
which bruin was already confined. The
