Syracuse, N. Yo May 11.-Mrs. Thomas B. Leonard is at her home in precarious condition as the result of an attack made upon her by two ferocious dogs Mrs. Leonard tried to separate the dogs which were fighting on the piazza of her house when she was knocked down and almost chewed to pieces by the animals. The dogs attacked her simultaneously, one burying his teeth in her throat and the other seizing her by her left arm. They bore her to the steps and gashed her with their teeth disfguring her face and arms in a terrible manner. She probably will carry the marks for life
 A colored man went to her assistance and dragged both animals away Mrs. Leonard bore twenty marks from the teeth of the dogs. A large piece of flesh was torn from her lower lip, part of the right cheek Is torn away, her left arm is torn and mangled and her right arm almost completely covered with prints Of the dogs teeth.

Ever Get Drunk on Rread2

From the New York American.
 ''You could get drunk on fresh bread if you eat enough of 1t at one time" said the chemist to the woman with a white ribbon in her buttonhole.
 q don't believe it," answered the wo- man.
 And yet 1t is fact" the chemist pur- sued. 'It used to be thought that the alcohol which bread in it's fermenting generated all passed out in the baking, but a distinguished scientist has proved that bread, after 1t is ready for eating still contains alcohol. I myself analysed the other day twelve loaves of fresh bread. and found that they contained on the average alcohol In the proportion of .314 per cent. When, therefore, you have eaten 100 pounds of bread you have con stunned five ounces of alcohol. That Is quite as much alcohol as you get in pint of whisky.
 You, madam, eat, I fancy, about $50 pounds of bread a year. That is 3,500 pounds in ten years. In those S,50O pounds there are 175 ounces of alcohol, which is the same as seventeen quarts of whisky. Think of 1t! Every ten years you con- sume seventeen quarts of whisky with your bread"
 q don't believe it," saf4 the woman with the white ribbon.

WANT RECEIVER
 F0R COTTON FIRM
Companies Ask That Smith & CoughIan be Declared Bankrupt
CREDITORS WANT MONEY
Claim That couehIan Paid $5ooo to First National Bank and That This Was Antecedent
 Indebtedness.

A petition was filed in the United States court yesterday praying that the firm of Smith & Coughlan be placed in involun- tary bankruptcy and also that a receiver be appointed The petition was filed by attorneys representing Pferdmenges, Preyer 6 Co. of Liverpool, and Knopp, Freirchs & Co. of Manchester, England, in which the Baron Freirchs is interest," ed; L. Hardy & Co. or savannah and Charles A. shearson.
 The attorneys filing the petition are N. L. Miller, Lee c. Bradley and Cabaniss & Weakley.
 Col. ". H. Denson, whe represents the cotton concern, said yesterday that he had no statement to make at this time in regard to the matter.
 It is claimed by the creditors that John H. Coughlan committed an act of bank ruptcy in that he transferred s5O0O to the First National bank when he was sol- vent, and that this was an antecedent in- debtedness and that the intention was to prefer this creditor over the other cred itors.
 The following claims are made by the petitioners:
 Pferdmenges, Preyer & Co.,, s3O64; Le Hardy & Co.,. $2175.42; Knopp, Frerichs & Co.,, $626939 Charles A. Shearson makes allegations to the effect that $SS5O is due him in addition to interest on two promisory notes bearing rare or April ?, 1903, one for $10OO, alleged to be due ten days after date, and the other for $2S5O, thirty days after date, each note to bear interest after maturity It is alleged that the notes were given by Coughlan to set tie certain claims on cotton shipped to Shearson by Coughlan.
 The Liverpool and other firms make practically the same allegations, except as to figures, the Liverpool firm men, toning the amount alleged to be due 1t and asking for the payment of interest from April 30, 1903, alleging indebtedness as follows:
 For loss in weight and difference in value on 200 bales of cotton purchased by them from Coughlan this amount ($6o6D, it is alleged, having been paid Coughlan under mistake of fact on the part of said | Pferhmenges & Co.,, and being that much in excess of what was really due by them to the said Coughlan.'

The Ideal Man.

From the New York Tribune.
 At a dinner of Federated Women in St. Paul, one of the gentle sex responded, as is not unusual on such occasions, to the toast, "The Ideal Man." a feminine equivalent to the hearty masculine "The Ladies; God Bless Emp' not so generous and universal, but the women seem to prefer to keep within the limits of their individual experiences and not to toast the whole sex This speaker wished to honor man. She said so and uttered these compliments: Man is too capable. He Is the paragon of animals. On his own ground he surpasses the lion in magnanimity, the fox in acumen, the par rot in repartee, the monkey in versatility. the ant in thrift the fish in self control, the spider in all that goes to make up a valued member of society. L dare say that if all the facts were known man Is more of an absolute success than the mulew Did the lady think there was a kick coming? l. is not clear whether the allusion was to the mules firmness of mind or heel.

BURGLAR CHOKES

 Gets VaIuableS
FLED THROUGH A WINDOW
Miss BargalnIer Slept With Pistol Un- der Her Pillow, But Before She Secured 1t Hands Grabbed
 Her Throat.

A burglar entered the home of Mrs. Saran B. Bargainier at 5o6 South Twen- tieth street last night and secured SIS in money and gold watch. He choked two women while they were in bed, and then made his escape.
 The women were so badly frightened that they could not say whether the in- truder was a white man or negro.
 About 1 o'clock this morning Miss Let tie Bargainier, who was sleeping with her mother, suddenly awoke and saw a man in the room. Before she could reach for a pistol that was under her pillow the burglar grabbed her by the throat. Mrs. Bargainier was awakened and the burglar freeing one hand from the young ladys throat put it over the mouth of Mrs Bargainier.
 The women attempted to scream. The seuffle aroused Will Bargainier, who was sleeping in an adjoining room. The bur glar heard him spring out of bed and he started on a run for the kitchen, jumping out of a window and making good his escape.
 Investigation showed that SIS and valuable gold watch had been taken.
 It is thought the burglar had remained hidden in the room for some time, evil dently thinking that only the two women were at home.
 MT. Willows lives next door to the house that was burglarized. He heard the screams of the women, and securing his pistol. made an investigation. A tele- phone message was sent to the police station. There is no clue to the identity of the burglar.
 Mrs. Bargainier is a widow. Her son is a conductor on the street railway

are few that can call to their assistance the grace and ease of action which she has. She is graceful and there is rhythm in all her movements. She adds to this an ability to wear gowns becomingly, a pretty face and trim figure Her work would rank with that of Lulu Glazer. If nothing else In the entire show were good her way of kissing would be a les son worth sitting through three acts to learn.
 There are a number of pretty girls in the chorus and some ugly ones. There are several comedians, and Bessie Tan nehill Is eommedienne always ready and able to provide a laugh. Her song with the chorus was a feature. Charles Giblyn, a French spy. and the working mate of Miss Deyo, is also very grace full. He Is clever, too. F. H. B.

Washington, May 11.-Overcrowding at naval training stations along the Allan tic coast Is causing cocern to the navy department.

The BiIou.
 The Giffen Musical Comedy company made a decided hit last night at the Bijou theatre in the old favorite, "The Girl from Paris" Striking features of the troupe are the number of excellent voices which it contains, and the remark ably fine work of Miss Deyo as Mile Julie Bon Bon, the girl from Paris. There were at least seven very fine voices among the men and women, and each performer had good opportunity to display ability.
 The voice of Miss Dora de Philippe, the leading woman, Is one of great power and many of her notes were much sweet CT than one would expect in a musical comedy star.
 Miss Hattie Martz also has a very sweet voice and her notes are clear and sonorous.
 Harry Davies has a good voice. His song, If I But Knew" was well rem dered and with sufficient sentiment to make 1t take well with the audience. John Young had several telling songs, among them some parodies on recent popular airs. Arthur Barry is not far behind in the quality of his voice.
 All the leading people were clever, but the honors easily belonged to Miss Deyo. As a little French woman she is exceed ingly captivating, and as a dancer there
