Painful Injuries Received by
Deputy Sheriff LydOn's Son
He Got Too Near the Animal Gage
and Was Severely Clawed
and Bitten.
RESCUED BY HIS COMPANIONS

Master Mark Lydon, the 10 year
old son of Deputy Sheriff Will Lydon,
narrowly missed having his left arm
chewed off by one of the carnival lions
this morning about $3.50 O'Clock at
Seventh and Broadway, where the
lion cages had been temporarily
placed, and was saved from further
injury by the prompt and heroic &C.
ton OF two companions, Masters
James and George Cochran, sons of
Mr.. W. Z. Cochran, the shoe dealer.
Young Lydon was riding his BIZ
cycle. and boy-like had been making n
tour of the show wagons. When he
came to the lion cage he could not see
what was within and crawled up on
his wheel to look 10 from the top Of
the cage.
The lion saw the boys arm clutch
ing one OF the bars and made vicious
lunge for it, The claws sank into the
flesh and made several deep decorations
in the arm before the animal used its
teeth, and 1t was here that the terri
fed and helpless boys companions re-
allied his danger and pulled him
away. He was carried to DR.. J. G..
Brooks Office and an examination
made. One deep wound several inches
long was made in the arm Just below
and elbow and another equally as ugly
made on the top of the hand. The
bite the lion made nearly took of the
forefinger. The wounds are painful
but not serious. The youth was badly
scared at first and oould hardly tell
how the accident happened.

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

Washington. May 9-There have
been no new developments in the case
of Rural Carrier Allgood, the negro
carrier at Gallstin, Tenn, who has
been told that unless he resigns he
will be summarily dealt with. 1t is
understood that band OF "a white
men has formed to keep all negroes
out of the service, aud that they will
not permit any negro to carry the
mail. 1t is feared that unless such
conduct is stopped the service will be
withdrawn, or soldiers will be sent TO
protect the carriers.

THAT TURKISH TROUBLE.

A correspondent Of the News per-
sonally acquainted with Consul w.
Ross Davis of Alexandrettn, the gem
tleman who Is said to have had trouble
with the Turkish officers at that place
says that he is very able representa-
tive Of this country, though at the time
he was seen by the correspondent, he
was hardly in touch with the customs
and manners OF Turkey. He relied
chiefly on his secretary, an Armenian,
for information and advice, and as this
Armenian, though an able gentleman,
like so many Of the race was full OF
prejudices toward the Turks, his advice
and suggestions might not always be
prompted by wisdom.
The district comprises. besides Alex
andretta, Aleppo, Alntab and Marash,
and contains quite a percentage of Ar
menians. The Turks are always on the
alert for "risings" among them, The
trouble this time, however does not
seem to have been serious. In all prob
ability the Armenian was arrested in
the hope that ne would pay the officer
something. This IL by no means an
uncommon occurrence in Asia Minor.

on RELIGIOUS TOPICS.
Christian REGISTER,

a world religion Is not yet in sight,
and no man Is wise enough to tell what
form II VIII take when II comes : All
the Biblical religions those that have
sacred books used like our Hebrew and
Christian Scriptures, are growing, The
number Of their adherents Is increas-
ing and the contents of faith are be-
coming more reasonable, more humane
and more inspiring. The most inteli-
gent and spiritually minded members
Of these various religions find them
selves approaching each other. A jew,
Christian, a Mohammedan, Parsee,
Buddhist, and a Confucian having
received a university education, might
each hold to his birthright creed, and
yet they all might meet on a common
level OF Intelligent sympathy and CO.
operation. They represent elements
of the universal religion, and yet, taken
together or separately, they do not rep
resent a world religion, nor can any
one predict whether among the faiths
thus represented this one shall fail and
that one prosper, this one survive and
that one perish, or whether they shall
all alike grow up into living temple,
a church of the living God, where each
shall find its place.

WHAT ALL KNEW.

Those who want to know whether
our government had guilty knowledge
beforehand of the Panama revolution,
ignore the fact that, thanks to the re-
personalities Of the press all the world
knew that the sentiment Of the Pana-
mans was for secession, in case the
canal treaty should fan How could
our government be ignorant Of n fact
known to all the world? 1t was known

men to conquer the rebels, These were

Notwithstanding the presence Of these
troops at Colon, and without any out
side aid, The commander Of the Coz
lombian troops thought he could carry
on military operations along the rail-
road line, the neutrality Of which Is
guaranteed by the United States. This,
he was told he could not do, and then
he withdrew to Cartagena, perhaps be-
cause he was in sympathy with the
Panamans leaving the newly estab-
llshed government in charge. This
appears to be the long and the short
of the Panama story.

have not opposed any union on earth
except when It interfered with the lib-
erty of labor or the lawful rights OF in

We oppose tyranny OF every kind, We
recognize the growing form Of the mon

The press Of the capital and liberal

the constitution which guarantees relg-

replied, however, that anyone would
have right to burn Bibles when there
were no authorities with the right to
hinder from destroying. as It appeared
to him, worthless papers.
The incident Is noticeable, because 1t
