.'While fin New York" says a Wash inGton writer q visited the financial
 district to ascertain if possible what effect the testimony brought out by the Armstrong committee, pursuing the
 life insurance inquiry. was having on the prospects of the companies in. volved and life insurance in general
 The further I pursued my inquiries the more I was struck with the force of the proposition that Wall street re gards the tendency of the counsel for the committee, Mir Hughes, to probe into the dealings between the insur- ance companies and bond dealers, with great displeasure, not because there is anything to conceal. but because the manner in which the questions are put and the publicity given the inquiry is likely to create the impression that great houses such as J. P. Morgan < Co. Kuhn, Loeb & Co and. others have been engaged in disreputable practices with the insurance companies. Men like Jacob H. Schiff and George w.
 Perkins, 1t was claimed, were invited to become directors of the insurance companies, not for their personal bene- fit but because in this capacity their intimate knowledge of financial condi- tions and the opportunity afforded them through their connections with the great banking houses. to correctly judge the value of an investment, would be of service to the company and to it's policy holders Instead of any of the banking houses so far mentioned undertaking to force their securities on the life insurance companies the shoe has apparently been on the other foot. Confined almost exclusively to investments in bonds and mortgages the insurance companies sought expert advice from bondholders just as they employed the most active and most capable solicitors, and to that end sO- licited such men as MT Schiff to act as directors. For similar reasons the value of the services of Mir Perkins to the New York Life greatly increased when he became associated with the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.,"

 country and man makes the town" But man has something to do with
 keeping the great handiwork of the Creator in condition to give happiness to the sojOurner therein. Just why

TANNING THE BUFFALoEs.

they showed their dislike for the road. by making dash for the fields, and it required constant watchfulness to pre- vent a runaway. Finally we broke them of this habit, by having my assis- tant walk alongside and head them off every time we came to gap.
 All went well till we passed a field in which number of cattle were graz ing. Among the lot were two big red steers, which have @ bad reputation hereabouts. These two at once became interested in the calves, and started for the fence at a gallop, The fence itself was 8 rather fiimsy affair, and I knew that if the big fellow broke through it and got into the road with the buffalo calves, there might be most disagree able mix-up. So started to urge the calves a little, but as they had already become Somewhat nervous at the demonstration of the steers they broke into a run and away we all went fo1 more than a quarter of a mile before ] thought it wise to swing the team round as I had done before. This time instead of turning neatly about, thes got their feet over the ropes, and be. coming frightened, tore off down the road again, in spite of all I could do The ropes were so tangled up that could hardly tell which, so I decided tc let the calves have their heads and TUT themselves out. Holding the ropes jus clear of the ground therefore, I jumped

PRECIOUS LIONESS.
Mile. Adgle Does Not Fear Animal
 RattIes With It in Cage.

As the close of the engagement of Mile. Adgie and her remarkable group of trained limos draws near. greater crowds than ever are Hooking to the White City to see the wonderful per- formance. Mile. Adgie says she does not fear the bereaved mother ioness' who has grown quite terocious since the death of her five months old cub on Wednesday. She says this is not unusual and she has had the same ex- ,perience before. She says the lioness will continue to grow in ferocity for a month or more, but after that, by keeping her persistently under control, she W1rl gradually work back to a calmer state of mind. Mile. Adgie wishes to assure the ladies that there is no danger despite the ruff1ed temper of the lioness. .---
 The act, however, is certainly more startling than ever and it is notice able that M. Jack, Mile: Adgie's right hand man is more on the alert for an emergency and stands with his great iron prong nearer the cage than usual, The scratch which Mile. Adgie got on her leg from the ,bereaved lioness the other day is healing up nicely.
 The feeding of the lions takes place at 1O:45 every evening. This is one of the most sensational scenes imagin- able and gives a vivid idea of what the beasts might do to their mistress l if they ever got started. They eat at l one meal forty pounds of choice chuck 1 steak, with every bit of fat and gristle removed, but with some bone There is 8 fight almost every night when they are fed.

WANTS TO RERoRM SCHOOLS.

 Mrs. Hahn F. Hahn, 8 wealthy wo- man, has announced that she is candidate for election as member of the Stamford school board. Mrs. Hahn believes there is too little industrial and too much fancy education" in the public schools of America.
 She says that the great mass of un- employed are college bred and that they are the backbone of the socialis- tic movement. She believes higher education should be limited, that girls should be taught sewing and boys the use of the plane and rule If the mass of unemployed is to be diminished. She wants chance to put her theories into practice.
 Mrs. Hahn went to Stamford from Newark four years ago. Her husband was practicing physician there. She owns an interest in an eighty mile Angora ranch in Texas. In Newark she was president of the Woman's S Civic club and Of the Clio club. She belongs to number of women's clubs in New York. Some time ago she wrote to a New York paper to the eff feet that the country was suffering for men to do manual labor. She was swamped by applications for work. She says five hundred men applied and about all were incompetent to do farm work, although large percent. age could doe problems in geometry and could read Virgil and Homer.

ASSAULT ON MRS. KEEFE
AssAILANT DASHED UPON HER
 FROM DESERTED HOUSE.

New Haven Woman at Waterbury HOs-
 pital Seriously Injured-Private De-
 tecfive at Work on the Case-WOmen
 Residents of SOuthbury TerrOrized.
 Waterbury, July 2S.-The little vil- lage of Southford, in the town of Southbury, is all stirred up on account of a brutal assault committed on Mrs, Beda Keete, a comedy 2O-year-old Swedish woman, employed in the household of Attorney A. ~. Wheeler of New Haven. who has a summer home in Southford. Many of the sum lner residents of the place are New York people, and since tie assault, which occurred on Tuesday night, young women members of these fam lilies have made it a point to be with in safe distance of their homes after nighfall.
 Mrs. Keefe was brought from New Haven to take {. position in Mr. Wheelers home only C few weeks ago. About S:30 o'clock Tuesday night she started from the Wheeler homestead for the railroad station, about quar- ter of a mile distant. Midway be- tween the station and the Wheeler house is an old deserted house, sur rounded on all sides, but the roadside by dense woodland. When just in front of this house, according to the story the woman told after the affair a man dashed out, grabbed her by the throat and, stifing her cries, dragged her into the bushes.
 She is certain that he picked up 6 stone and knocked her OF the head with it a number of times. Severa gashes on her head and face make this story seem plausible. She wa. rendered unconscious and failed to re. cover until some minutes after hel assailant had made his escape. Sht made her way with difficulty back tt the Wheeler house, where, after tell ing her story, she collapsed. Her fac, and head were covered with blood and her clothing was torn to shreds, Dr. Green of southbury was called at once. He succeeded in revivin, Mrs. Keefe. A message was sent t, Deputy Sheriff Theodore Wheeler, wh, | organized a posse, to SCOUT the coun l try for the woman's assailant. Thougl the party searched high and low unti midnight not clew as to his identit. was obtained. Mrs. Keefe remainet in southford until yesterday afternoon when it was deemed advisable to re move her to the Waterbury hospital where she could receive. proper treat ment, Since then she has been unde the care ot Dr. A. A. Crane Owin
 to the darkness Mrs. Keefe is unabl to give a detailed description of he | assailant.
 | Mir. Wheeler is determined to fin
 out if possible. the pernetrator of th
 assault. To that end he has retaine

 Cries Were Merely Uttered in Pooling
 Incident Occurred in Darkness.
 While coming up the harbor with his wife and a friend named John Speh in his naphtha launch Ethel H. at about nine o'clock last evening Captain Charles E. Hall heard cries for help off in the direction of the palisades in Fort Hale park, on the east shore of the har- bor. MT. Hall thought that the party were out in boat and were fooling, so he was going to pay no attention to the voices. But Mrs. Hall insisted that the party were in real distress and that the cries were in earnest. At her solic- itation Captain Hall steered In the di- rection of the cries.
 Near the Fort Hale cliffs he came upon an auxiliary yacht which had struck upon a reef and was unable to get off. There were about a score or more occupants in the boat. mostly women and children. There was about two feet of water in the boat, despite the attempts which had been made to lower it by baling. The women and children were thoroughly frightened by their danger.
 Captain Hall and Mir. Speh took off the women and children, leaving on the boat only few men to take care of the vessel, which, when frightened of it's burden, was fioated off. The rescued party were landed at the dock of the Volunteer Boat club at the foot of Brewery street.
