TREATING A LIONS EYE.
A New York Park Animal May Be
Operated Upon.

New York. Aug. 1I.--leo. the big
lion IN the Central park merageric
roared with pain Sunday when the
keepers tried TO treat the cataract In
his right eye. which has been growing
for three years.
Leo is - years old and has been in
the park five years. He is a fine speci-
men of the king beast, with his big
head and magnificent name, that many
artists have used him as model His
keepers say he now knows an artist
at sight, and when one approaches he
assumes his best pose and maintains
It until the artist finishes.
Recently Leo became totally blind
lin that eye. Director Smith called
DIR. Marsh. the police surgeon.
That's cataract, sure. The whole
pupil is obliterated," said DR.. Marsh
What's to be done to save the
beast"' asked the director
The eye must be operated on
think you would better have an eye
specialist who will be amle to cut out
the cataract and restore the sight"
said the surgeon.
He suggested that medical treatment
might be tried before the specialist was
called in, and prescribed several reme-
dies for Leo. The director got the medi-
cine in powder form, and Billy Snyder.
the elephantkeeper, got a long. slender
tin tube. and, putting the powder into
it, approached the cage The lion, see
ing an old acquaintance, did not move.
Snyder put the tube to his mouth and
blew the powder into the blind eye.
The lion gave roar and jumped to
his feet. He paved at his eye in an eff
fort to remove the powder and roared
louder and louder. The other lions
joined In the roaring, and Miss Murphy,
the hippo, became alarmed for her ba-
by and beloved.
When Snyder tried to repeat the dose
yesterday morning the animal spied
him with his good eye and retreated to
the back of the cage. Snyder watched
for an opportunity, but Leo watched
Snyder's movements and kept out OF
his way.
Then Herrick. the keeper of the lion
house. was ordered to blow the powder.
Leo trusted in the friendship of his
keeper. so Herrick was able to send the
powder into the eye. When Herrick
tried to give another dose in the after
noon the lion had classed him among
his enemies and kept out of reach.
After this Director Smith decided to
abandon the medical treatment, as 1t
was evident it could not be carried out.
He has decided that he will call an ocu-
list to operate on the eye.

DEFENDS NEGROES

Stuyvesant Fish, Of the Illinois Central,
Says Railroads Should be Allowed
to Consolidate in the Interests Of
Economy.
New York, Aug. 17.-Regarding the
DEVELOPMENTS of recent years in the
railroad world Stuyvesant Fish, presi-
dent of the Illinois Central, has given
out a statement in which he commends
business consolida tions as helpful to the
general prosperity of the country.
CONSULTATIONS and mergers will con-
tinue right along" he says, but rail-
roads will never be controlled by one
man; neither will the government take
control of them. These consultations
are aimed to secure greater economy
and should bring about lower rates. You
can no more prevent consultations in
the interests of economy than you car
make water run up hill. The right way
to do is to let railroads consolidate or
merge all they want to. Then let the
people look after tariff rates and taxa
ton. 1t is the ineXorable logic of
events and the tendency of the times"

Superintendent Frankel, Of the West

the fact that a certain number of opera

duction in force, some for insubordina-
ton, and other causes They contend-

KANSAS CORN YIELD IMMENSE.
Reports Indicate Much Greater Crop
Than Was Expected.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 1T.-Reports from
Kansas counties as to the condition of
corn indicate a remarkable situation.
The yield will be greater than any one
estimated a month ago. Some of the
counties, notably Butler, Stafford.
Chase. Harvey and Wilson. say they
will have much more corn than last
year. From fifty to sixty bushels an
acre is the estimated yield in those
places. In some counties the elements
won against the farmers. but in every
instance a better crop was raised than
the farmers expected. All kinds of for
age crops are fine. Late heavy rains
have made a great hay crop and late
pasture will he excellent.
