One of the greatest present anxieties
of the peeresses is how to keep the
corouet on the head. 1t cannot be too
firmly fixed. for it has to be quickly

A serious point is how the peeresses
are to carry their costly coronets when
the service commands that they be I'M

arrangement of crossed bands of narrow,

THE.LIBERAL DEMOCRATS.
call!HillIrraitOr and Namei Edgar l. Ryder
as Governor.
(By the Associated Press.)


New York. June IA State CONVEX ton
o: the Liberal Democratic party, which
endorses the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms, was held here today to nomi-
nate a State ticket. The nominations will
secure place on the official ballot by pc
tition, as the party had no ticket in the
field IT the last election. Rev. Dr. Liv-
ingstOn. of Gouvarneur, n. Y, mentioned
the name of the late John p. Altgeld in
his speech and the name was applauded.
The permanent chairman, Judge Samuel
Seabury, said the Republican party had
been the chief factor in encouraging mo-
nopoly and that the Democratic party
should be the chief factor in providing
remedy. The Democracy, the speaker
asserted, must stand for free speech a
free press, right to jury trial, right to
publicly assemble and fer the same free
trade between nations of the world as
now exists between the States of the
American Union.
Jay W. Forrest, of Albany, devoted
much of his speech to David B. Hill.
Among other things he said:
at is time for real Democrats to raise
their voices when we can read in all
the newspapers, from one end of the
State TO the other. that the reorgania-
ton Of the Democratic forces in the
State has been placed in the hands of the
men who in 1896 had not a word to say
for the greatest banner-bearer the
Democratic party has had for forty
years. Democracy never needed reor-
ganization until David B. Hill came into
it -
The platform reaffirms the Kansas
City platform and condemns David b.
Hill as & traitor

attorney, was nominated for Governor.

TORN BY MAD BEASTS
Three Animal Trainers
FrighttuIIy Lacerated
Furious Attacks BY Lion, Leopard and Bear.
Woman's Arm Severed. A Mans
Abdon en- Ripped Open.

Cleveland, Ohio, une Three trainers
attached to an animal show had thrill
ing experiences here today with their
savage pets and as result one man,
the lion trainer. Joseph McPhee, is fatal
y injured with great holes in his abdo-
men made by the lion. The other in
jured are Joseph Wedder and Madame
Morelli.
The animals had travelled from Boston
to this city and were surly and ugly.
Weddcr entered the cage of a big bear
which received him with sweep of his
immense paw, knocking him to the floor
where the bear bounced upon him and fas-
tened his teeth into his right leg. tear
ing off so large a chunk as to make
necessary SO surgeons say, the amputa-
tion of the injured limb.
A leopard Ieaped upon Nine. Morelli's
shoulders and she had her right arm
severed Nine. Morelli was lying on the
floor when the attendants came to her
assistance and with difficulty drove the
beast Off.
Lion Tanner McPhee was watching the
transfer of the lions from the car to
their cage and because they refused to
move promptly he entered the cage. He
had hardly entered before a great beast
leaped upon him, pinning him to the
floor. The lion placed his great paws
upon the fallen mans breast and tore
his right leg in a fearful manner, the
tendons being pulled from the bone. The
efforts of the attendants to run the lion
off with pixies had no effect and only in
furiated him the more, for he quickly
pushed his big jaws and sharp teeth into
McPhee's abdomen and when he released
his hold the trainers abdomen was torn
so badly that ais entrails were in sight.
The lion was finally driven of and Nc
Phee removed from the cage.
