People Stood Aghast.

Frank Hall does not. understand
the name Of fear. This afternoon
he whipped the largest lion in cap
tivity until it foamed at the mouth,
and when his attendant opened the
door of the cage and Hall sprang in
the people stood aghast. The lions
roars were terrifying, and Hall fired
a revolver off twice and drove the
lion to the n of the cage. If Hall
had been tori to pieces there would
not have been any regret, as it is a
very foolish act. The performance
will be repeated again tonight. Hall
is an Englishman and has been fight
ing lions for fifteen years.

about and advertised Norris &
Rowe's big shows arrived by a
special train this morning. There
was quite a large crowd OF men,
women and children on hand at
an early hourto see the hundreds
of animals unloaded from the
train. A still greater crowd
gathered at the show grounds to
watch the erection of the big
tents and when the street parade
appeared the entire populace
seemed to be on the streets. The
pagent surpassed in neatness
and splendor any circus parade
before given here. There were
countless animals OF various
sizes and kinds from elephants
to monkeys. There were IDLY a
hundred shetland ponies in the
procession, most OF them draw
ing chariots. cages and other
vehicles An immense crowd I'LL

YANGER VS.. CLIFFORD.
A Ten Round Bout With Gloves at
Davenport Iowa.


Chicago, Oct. 16.-Boxing being
under the ban in Chicago at the
present time. the eyes of the local
ring followers are turned toward
Davenport, Iowa, whittier a consid-
cradle delegation will go tonight to
witness a boxing show slated to be
pulled off in that city. The magnet
that will serve to attract the sport
ing fraternity is a ten round bout be-
tween Benny Yanger of Chicago and
Jack Clifford. The latter comes
from the west with a record of hav-
ing achieved much success in the
fighting game in Montana, Utah and
other sections Whereabouts. Among
the Chicago fraternity he is compar-
atively an unknown quantity and
they are looking forward with con-
siderable interest to see what kind
of a showing he can make against
such a clever and hard-hitting fight
err as Yanger.

The Winslow Damaged.

Yesterday the torpedo boat "Win-
slow, " which recently was at the
Naval Academy, was damaged by a
collision with the ferry boat "Ameri-
ca of the Brooklyn Ferry Boat Com
pany, New York. The "Winslow" /"
was in midstream in the East river.
There were sixty passengers ON the
ferry boat at the time of the accident.
When the torpedo boat succeeded
in backing out from under the ferry
boats bow it was seen that she was
badly damaged. The feet of her bow
were crumbled and twisted sideways
and several of her bow plates were
torn off. Water was pouring in at the
bow and she was getting badly down
at the head. The tug Robert L..
Strong" steamed up to the wins
low" and made fast to her, believing
she was about to sink. 1t was soon
seen, however, that the damage to
the vessel did not etxend aft of the
forward compartment, and though this
was flooded the rest of the boat re-
mained all right below decks.

CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Closed Today For The Christ
mas Holidays-Re-open
January 4.

The city public schools in all the
departments of kindergarten, prim-
airy, grammar and high school closed
today for the Christmas holidays and
will reopen ON Monday, January 4.
There were no recitations today
and the closing exercises were charac-
teristio of Christmas and the holiday
season All of the school rooms were
attractively decorated in berried hol-
ly, running cedar, spruce pine,
wreaths and plants. A beautiful
Christmas tree was the feature of the
kindergarten department and it was
dressed in garlands, chains, woven
paper baskets and pretty things, all
the handiwork of the children.
On many of the blackboards were
drawings by the pupils, each repre-
senting the Yuletide season. Some
had the typical chimney with Santa
Claus about to descend with his pack
on his back. Others had Christmas
trees, the Star in the East, branches
of holly, &c. All the drawings were
artistic and showed talent of the
children. A simple program was car
ried out and Christmas carols were
sung. The teachers were remembered
by some of their pupils and happy
Christmas greetings were exchanged
when farewells were said to school
days for the next week, when work
will be resumed.
