finally succeeded by means of rope

his cage in an attempt to train him, and
was torn to pieces.
Since then three other trainers have
perished beneath his mighty paws. II
Is said he killed four men before he was
brought to this country. He Is. with

Yesterday was an "off day for nearly
all of the contestants in The Tribune's
Educational Contest. Leroy Stanton, of
Scranton, was the only one to score OF
the entire thirty-three in the main
table as published yesterday morning.
Eddie Morris, of South Scranton. re-
turned enough points to give him IL
place in the published table this morn
ing. He is now in thirty-third place.
held for the last week or more by
Emanuel Bucci, of Hyde Park, but
whose name is withdrawn as a conse-
quence of his now being thirty-fourth.
Miss Mary Yeager, of Green Ridge,
made her first return yesterday. AS yet
her score is not sufficiently large to
give her a place among the first thirty
three contestants.
1t seems probable that number of
the contestants are withholding points
until the last day in June in order to
have a big batch of them to turn in at
the last minute and thereby stand
better opportunity to win one of the
two prizes offered for the contestants
who score the greatest number OF
points. There are two reasons why this
should not be done. The first and most
important is that it is in direct vio-
lation of one of the rules of the con-
test, which says: "All subscriptions
must be handed in at The Tri-
bune office within the week in which
they are secured. so that papers may
be sent to the subscribers at once"
The Tribune has always acted fairly
with the contestants and they should
act fairly with each other.
Reason No why holding back points
should not be indulged in has a COM
nonsense argument. If each of the
active workers reserves his show of
strength until the last day all are work.

the others are doing and. besides, each
contestants friends are apt to have the
impression that their champion has lost
interest in the struggle if his name APP
pears day after day without Il change
in standing. One big change Il month
does not amount to much as II demon
stratiOn of earnestness, not nearly rs
much as Il daily or frequent gain. Es-
pecially is this true when all are de-
pending upon the same manoeuver to
win an advantage.
Contestants mast bear in mind the
closing hour of the contest for the spe-
cial prizes for June. 1t will be o'clock
on Monday afternoon. No points will
be counted in the June competition that
are received after that hour, either
from contestants residing i'm this city

provides for a tax of 3.15 mills on all
iirst-class property, of 25 mills on prop
erty of the second class, and of 1875

amount to about $i24 900. which is So, 900

AIRY committee, presented his report,
recommending that the city solicitor be
directed to settle the ST. 900 claim against
the city of Muldoon & Bowie for extra

Select Councilmen T.. Fl. Clemons and

When the select council resolution di-
recting that the city purchase fifty
nine copies of the laws passed by the
last legislature for the councilmen
came up Mr.. Keller objected to it as a
needless expenditure of money. Mr..
Partridge referred to it as a TON fool"
bit of legislation. Mr.. Keller moved
that the resolution be laid on the table
and this was done. He held that one
copy of the laws in the city clerks
office, where it could be referred to.
would answer all purposes.
Among the select council resolutions
concurred in were the following: Di-
! recting the director of public safety to
having free vaccination; limiting the
speed of automobiles; directing the d-
rector of public safety to place the tele-
phone number of the nearest fire appar-
atus placed on each private telephone
in the city.

adopted: To compel the laying of side

Death Of Insane Husband
Will Not Change Wife's Plans

Mrs. Jack Gardner. These two social
leaders have led opposing factions for
years, and have striven earnestly and
seriously to outdo each other in ambi.
tious efforts to prevent Boston society
from becoming afflicted with ennui.
Mrs. Sprague was Miss Anna Pratt,
Of Brookline n granddaughter of the
famous William f. Weld. Size inheri-
ted a fortune of S20,000,000, Il part of
the Weld estate, whose growth was
due to the development of Bostons
commerce.
Mr.. Sprague was a man of great
wealth, and his fortune, joined to that
of his wife, made him the richest man
in the House of Representatives.
In Washington, the Spragues occu-
pied the fine house of Prof.A Graham
Bell, and entertained magnitcently.
Mrs. Sprague was regarded as most
charming hostess, being still young. n
beautiful blonde, slight and graceful
in figure. Her portrait, painted by .Iu-
liam Story, was the feature of the Bos-
ton Portrait exhibition. She sailed for
Europe with her children two weeks
ago.
Mrs. Spragues latest act in rivalry
of Mrs. Jack Gardner was her most
sensational one. Piqued by Mrs. Gard
ner's purchase of an old Italian palace
and its transportation to and erection
in Boston, Mrs. Sprague also bought
an Italian palace. 1t was the hand
somest she could find in Venice. She
bought it AZ it stood, furnishings ana
fittings, from cellar flags to roofing
tiles, had 1t transported, piece by piece,
to this country, ana rebuilt in Brook
line. Every bit of wood. marble, tapes
try, furniture and rugs of the new
mousse were part OF tne Olu venetian
palace, and as it stands it is bit of
Venice in America.
This building has not been completed
but enough of 1t has been pleced to-
gcther to give a fair idea of what the
interior will be like when Mrs. Sprague
is ready to open it for inspection. A
firm of Boston architects are in charge
of the work, and are pushing it along
as rapidly as possible. 1t was intended
that the completion of this work should
be marked by a grand ball in the pala-
tlal ball room which forms part Of
the building, but these plans will prob.
ably be changed by the death of Mr..
Spraguc.
The ball room is the principal fea-
ture of the structure, and takes up two
stories.
Mrs, Sprague's $2OOOO,0O is hers in
her own right, 80 her princely sway in
society will not he in any fashion af-
fected by her husbands death.
