Lions Eat LabOrers.

According to st. George Whitehouse,
the manager and chief engineer of the
Uganda railway, with the exception of
a few hnimportant temporary bridges
which will have to be replaced by steel
structures, all being within 80 miles of
the lake terminus, the line from Nom
hasa to Port Florence is completed.
Trains now run through without
change of carriage from the sea to the
heart of Africa, a distance of 584 miles.
The same gentleman, discussing the diff
iculties which have to be surmounted,
says: Not the least of these has been
caused by the wild animals along the
line. Lions very seriously interfered
with the work of construction and at
mile 1872 nee nearly brought work to
a ~standstill. No fewer than 81 railway
employees have been carried off by lions,
and probably there are more of whom
there is no record.

Tells you of Kidney ills.
Doan's Kidney pills will cure you.
Here is convincing testimony to prove

Mrs. ID. Harvey, dealing in furniture at
No. 447-H Main St.. Paterson, N. j.
says: 81 was troubled with my kidneys
for a long time and though I tried many
remedies their use met with indifferent
success until l vas about discouraged.
The pain in the small of my back kept
growing worse until they became so bad
that l had to get out of bed and turn over.
Abont the time | saw in the papers that
Ooan's were curing others, and | went to
a drug store and procured them. They
began to help me right from the start
and in a short time the pains left me en-
tirely. l have told many of my friends
about this valuable remedy and am glad
to endorse Doan's Kidney Pills at all

WRESTLING GOSSIP.

The suggestion made by Sam Fitz-
patrick to form a league or association
to protect the wrestling game, has
already met with a hearty response
FROM promoters all over the country.
Ever since Fitzpatrick's scheme was
made known he has been deluged with
letters from wrestlers asking to be
allowed to join. Fitzpatrick, how
ever, is not ready as yet to act upon
the candidates for membership until a
president and a committee have been
appointed. In a talk about the matter
he said: eff those desiring to join
the league will write me, car of the
Hoffman House, New York, they will
hear something to their advantage.
But all candidates must agree to stand
a rigid investigation as to their past
records. If any of them are or have
been under q cloud they cannot join.
The idea of the league is to prevent
fakirs and frauds injuring sport by
appearing in different towns under
different names and engaging IN fake
bouts. The public must be protected,
and I am going to try my level best
to bring about the required reform. 1
expect. to hold a meeting Wednesday
afternoon. Billy Roche, manager of
Jenkins, is in favor of the league, and
is willing to help me all he can"
Eddie Conley and Billy Kurfeat,
two Cleveland featherweights, have
signed articles of agreement to meet
best two in three falls, at Cleveland,
the latter part of this month.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Aobertson, the former Fordham
lge player, who pitched against
gMarions last year. snow playing
base for Orange replacing Nc
nald.
Bustamente, the crack short stop of
Ie All Cubans, nd been doing great
Prk for his team IN tour. He will
with the All Gu ans on Saturday.
Next Sunday the All Cubans play at
Eoboken, the deciding game of a
bries of three games. Hoboken won
he first and was defeated in the Sec
md game 9 to 4.
Pete Herman has been doing some
line work with the stick lately. In
pc last six games he has averaged
Vo hits a game and his record for the
bason has now passed the 300 mark.
He is also getting the runs across the
Elate. In the game with the Equit-
ables he scored three runs and on
Saturday he also scored three of the
four runs made by the home team.
McPhillips still continues to use the
stick effectively and his average is
lowering around five hundred. Be-
sides his batting and good work IN
: the box Matty possesses two other ex-
cellent qualities that are apparent in
itearly every game he pitches. One is
the ability he displays Unfolding his
POSITION and the other is his headwork
during the progress of a game. He
never allows himself to be ratified
when he goes after a ball whether it
is a line drive or a slow bant, it is
safe betting hat it will be fielded to
first in time to nab the runner
The next two games to BIZ played by
the Marions will show the calibre of
the home team. The All Cubans, who
come on Saturday, are undoubtedly a
strong aggregation of players-the
best in Cuba, Manager Lamar says
and there is no need of telling how
Orange can play-that's an old story
to the fans.
Ths st. Aloysius Cadets are still
waiting to hear from Manager Birden
Golden, of the Starlets. The Cadets
would like a game for Saturday after
noon, to be played on Boyer's field at
2 O'Clock.
Because of the rain last night the
Raritan Copper Works baseball team
will not play ball today. The dia.
mond is in too bad a state and it will
be inn possible to get it in order in
time.
The Kings of the Diamonds will
not Alay baseball Saturday afternoon
of this week. They have some vacant
dateA left for Saturday afternoon
GANGS. Albert Mcdonald, Smith
STREET, is the manager.

RETAINS ONLY4 WIVES.

London, March Mail advices
received here from Kabul, say the
Amer of Afghanistan has divorced
all but four of his wives. The
divorced women are allowed to
remarry at their pleasure and the
Ameer has promised lifelong sup
port to those who do not marry
again. He has also decreed by beat
of drum that none of his subjects
shall hereafter have more than four
wives and that all in excess of this
number must be divorced.
The Amer is also suppressing
evil-doers with an iron hand. In
recent proclamation he ordered
that any one convicted of haunting
another on account of his religion
shall be blown from a lannon's
mouth. This punishment has al
ready been inflicted. Robbers are
placed in cages, which are hung
prominently in the thoroughfares
as a warning to others.
Another proclamation OF the
Ameer, evidently aimed against
those who attempt to corner grain

grain in excess of what is absO.

his family for four months shall
sell it; if he fails to do so, the
supply shall be taken by force.
