HUNTER WINS BY STRATEGY.
Confronted by Four Full-GrOwn
Lions Fr1ghtens Them Away
with His Field GLASS;

Few people, even among hunters of
game, have met with an adventure so
exciting as befell a British ships off,
Ger, who, fortunately, has survived, and
now relates the story in the Field.
When on a shooting trip in the in
terror Of East Africa, accompanied only
by native boy, he suddenly came to a
standstill. Immediately facing us
scarcely rs PAGES distant" he says.
standing quite still, their heads and
shoulders showing above the long grass,
their ears cooked forward, their eyes
fixed straight on US, were four fullgrown
lions"
1t was thrilling moment. He was at
once face to face with problem as
complex as 1t was weighted with i'm
portant issues. There was no cover,
and II he attempted to retreat all the
animals might spring upon him. If he
fred he could make sure of killing one
OF them; he might even kill second,
but what Of the survivors.
The hunters brain worked rapidly,
and when one of the lions showed signs
Of restlessness he had decided that #
would be madness to fire. christening
his case of fieldglasses, he caught it by
the strap, and, rushing forward with a
loud yell, hurled it at the enemy
The ieldglasses won the day, and all
four lions turned tail and bolted, yelp-
ing as they went. THUS ended" he
says, my first, last, and only chance of
bagging lion."

EGGS HELP DIVORCE.
Too Many Of Them Are Eaten by
the Fair Sex.
Mrs. Rorer, of Cook Book Fame, De-
clares They Make Women Lazy
When Eaten for Breakfast and
Lawyers Do the Rest.

Divorces are Matched out of eggs, &C
cording to Mrs. Sarah Rorer, of cook
book fame. The eggs themselves are
innocent, she explains; the trouble be-
ing that too many women eat them for
breakfast. Then, because eggs, as food,
are heavy and bring on feelings of lassi-
Hude, housewives neglect their duties
and husbands become angry. The law
ysrs do the rest.
II fewer women ate eggs for break
fast there would be fewer cases of d.
yorce," says Mrs. Rorer. 1--WE would
not hear so much about wives neglecting
their work in the morning TO lounge in
easy chairs and read the daily papers.
Homes would be kept more tidy; hus-
bands would be better satisfied with
their helpneets, and the quarrels that
disrupt families would be recited less
frequently in the courts of the land.
Il do not mean that any woman eats
too many eggs at time. That is not
the point. II one woman should eat
one egg for breakfast each morning, it
would be too many. The morning meal
should be varied. And few women real
iEe this They change the style of cook
ing the egg. but they stick to eggs.
"One day it is boiled, the next fried,
with the sunny side up On the third
day 1t is shirred, and then, with an oc-
casional omelet, the order is repeated.
Fresh eggs. no matter in what style they
are cooked, If they are we'll cooked, are
delicious. But too frequent recourse
to them is dangerous.
"Yes. society women eat too many
eggs also. By society women l mean
those lilies Of the feminine world who
neither toll nor spin. They do not have
housework to do, and one might jump to
the conclusion that they could eat eggs
with tmpunity.
But here again the divorce court
faces women who yield to the fatal ap-
petite. Eggs are heavy, even when
taken with sherry. The social leader
who overtndulges loses her brightness
OF eye, her piquancy and charm. Her
husband notices the change and loses
interest. Trouble follows and then come
the lawyers"

SPEECH WITHOUT WORDS.
Death of William Briggs, Nj. p, Re-
calls Notable Incident In the
House of Commons.

With the death of William Briggs
Billy Briggs" as he was affectionate-
ly called in the British house of COM
mons-has passed away perhaps the
only man who ever made a speech il
the house by dumb show only.
Briggs had the distinction, when
only 20 years old, of capturing the seat
which John Morley lost, and early in
his career took an energetic stand on
the side of what were called the OBJ
structionists. On one occasion, after a
firing nights debate, he rose at six
o'clock in the morning to keep up the
debate, but he had lost his voice, and
not word was he able to utter. His
head wagged, and all the characteristic,
graphic picturesqueness of rhetorical
energy were there. His lips moved
with unwonted rapidity, but not a
sound came from them.
At first the house was startled. Then
the humor Of the situation manifested
itself. Members of both sides entered
into the fun and boisterous laughter
swept through the building. At every
point made by fingers or by the sweep
of the arm, volleys of cheers were sent
up, as though the enraptured audience
was drinking in eloquence of the rarest
kind. 1t was one of the funniest scenes
ever enacted in the house of commons.
Briggs was afterwards congratulated
for the novelty and success of his meth
cd OF being obstructive without too
much of strain on his physical
strength.

PennsyIvania Work Train Run Into
by Gravel Train Near WASH
ington's Crossing, PA.
SCORES OF MEN MANGLEI
FIFTEEN CRUSHED TO DEATH AND
FORTY INJURED.
Six Men Hurled Through the Air by a
Rush of Natural Gas-Other
Casualties.

TRENTON, y. j., Oct. 17.-Fifteen persons
were killed and about forty more injured in
collision which occurred to-day on the
Belvidere division OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, near Washington's
Crossing. The persons killed and injured
were Iaborers who were on a work train,
and were on their way 10 work at Washing
tons Crossing to repair wash-outs along the
road. Fourteen bodies have been taken from
the wreck and one more body is known TO be
under the debris. Only two or three of those
who are injured will be permanently
MANNED.
AS soon as the collision occurred a special
train was sent from Trenton with a corps
Of physicians and the dead and injured
were brought to this city. The injured were
taken to st. Francis Hospital. The dead
men, with one or two exceptions, are italian
laborers, who resided in this city, the others
being coIored men. Their bodies were taken
to the morgue for Identification.
The train bearing the men who were killed
and injured was made up of four cars, two
coaches in which the men were riding and
two fat cars in the rear. The train stopped
near Washington's Crossing to receive or
ders respecting the passing Of the regular
passenger train. While the train was stand
ing on the track it was run into from the
rear by a gravel train. The two fiat cars
telescoped the two coaches. There were
about $50 men in the two cars. As soon as
the accident happened the Italians became
frantic and made an attempt to do bodily
harm to the crew of the gravel train. Word
was sent to Trenton for police assistance.
hut the men were finally quieted by the fore
man.
The railroad authorities here are reticent
as TO how the accident occurred, but it is
believed that the gravel train either failed
TO see any adverse signal. or that the flag
man of the first train failed to go back a
sufficient distance.

TOWED BY A BIG WHALE
STRANGE STORY TOLD BY THE

Marine Monster 10 Feet Long Pulled

Twenty-Five Hours.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE whaling
steamer Humber has arrived here, says a
st. Johns, n. F., dispatch, for repairs from
damages received in a naval battle off
Cape Spear, n. F., with monster whale,
asserted by the crew to have been 10 feet
long. The fight lasted twenty-nine hours.
When the monster was harpooned. it
started towing the vessel at the rate of
seven miles an hour. though the engines
were reversed full speed, which, under
ordinary conditions would have meant q
retrograde speed of eight miles an hour.
This continued for hours, the ship, as the
whale flew off in zigzag courses, being
almost towed under the water, the sea
washing the decks. Several times the cap
tain was on the point of cutting the cable.
but the windlass held and the whale finally
gave up the struggle
