BILL BRADY IN THE LIONS DEN
New York Theatrical Manager Creates
a Sensation at Brighton
Beach.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Nerve goes
a great way, sometimes with men,
sometimes with animals. William A.
Brady, a noted theatrical manager,
showed his nerve in a way that as
tonished beholders at Brighton Beach
the other night He entered a cage
ed there at least two minutes, while
the animals-said by their keeper to
and crawled almost to his feet. More
than one hundred persons saw the
feat. Bob Mcpherson, the trainer
for Feraras animal show, knows Bra
dy. The latter strolled around the
watching the lionesses. Mcpherson
said to him:
such a bad temper
Brady at once said he would enter
the cage. Mcpherson thought he was
joking; but Brady laughed, took the
trainers revolver and keys, and then
opened the door of the cage. He stood
still for a while. then opened the Sec
ond door, which leads directly into the
apartment occupied by the lionesses.
Brady fired his revolver several
times and stood looking nOnchalently
at the animals. They crOuched, snarled
and growled but made no attempt to
spring.
Mcpherson still wonders why the
animals did not deprive the New York
ers of a theatrical manager.

Warren Co. Offers To Lay Asphalt
For SITS Square Yard
SAME OLD PRICE FOR bIIuHTH|c
BIDS HIGHER THAN SUBMITTED
At BOISE A WEEK
AGO.

Bids for paving North Third, Col
vile, First. Rose and East Main
streets, new paving districts created
by the council some months ago, were
opened at last nights meeting, but
aside from glancing over the bids and
ordering the street committee to have
toward awarding any contracts, nor
will there be until property owners are
which to file any objections against
the proposed improvements.
The specifications were changed
somewhat from those of other paving
districts already improved and bids
were received on the wearing surface
and foundations separately except
where asphalt was bid on.
The Warren Construction company
had in a bid for Warren's bitulithic
surface, including surface finishing
course of $1.67 per square yard. Their
bid on bituminous foundation was $3.50
per cubic yard, which brings the cost
of finished pavement, approximately
up to $217 a square yard.
Higher Than Boise Bid.
At Boise City a week ago the COM
pany put in a bid of $50 for the wear
ing surface as compared with $1.67
last nights bid, and $3.50 for the BIZ
luminous foundation as compared with
$3.50 bid on the Walla Walla jobs. In
view of the fact that Boise City has
! higher freight rates than any other
! city of a similar size in the northwest,
the bid of the company last night is
relatively much higher than the price
accorded Boise City. The Warren Con-
| struction company put in an extreme
ly low bid of s1.75 for asphalt with
concrete base on the Third street con-
tract, and it is said the property own
ers of that district are inclined to IA
vor the asphalt at the price bid, pro-
vided the company guarantees pave
ment equal in quality to that laid by
the Barber Asphalt company.
The Barber Asphalt company made
straight bids on asphalt and bitumi-
nous macadam pavement with con-
crete base The company had in low
bid of $160 for bituminous macadam
pavement which the company claims
is a duplicate Of Warrens bitulithic.

Terre Haute's mayor was ousted by
council by vote of 6 to 8. The name
of the mayor Is Bidaman and he is
something of a corker from all news
paper accounts. He is given to pictur-
esque figures of speech and when in
formed that council had pulled the
executive chair from beneath his
portly frame, he rose up in meeting,
walked into the council chamber and
in effect said that he would stay
there until Hades froze. Owing to the
fact that his term expires two months
hence Mayor Bidaman will not see
Hades become CONCEALED, but 1t seems
likely that he will retain his seat I'M
til the term ends. The mayor is al
legged to have winked at law breakers,
or at least has declined to rigidly en-
force the laws and council kicked him
out. 1t develops, however, that the
Terre Haute council has never before
stood pat on the law enforcement
proposition and the charge is made
that II was not so much in behalf of
civic purity that the action was taken
as 1t was to get even with Bidaman
for some of his alleged acts which
did not please the body.

Bunko methods, nothing less, seem
to have been employed by the Ameri-
can Mutual Life Insurance Company
of Elkhart which has Just been put
out of business by the order of the
Auditor of State. Many alluring prom.
Uses were held out to prospective pol
icy holders in the literature they
We're privileged to peruse, but the
manner in which the resources of the
company were handled indicated to
the State officers that unless a policy
holder died pretty quick his estate
would not profit thereby. Few of the
policy holders wanted to die just to
get their money out of the company,
so the State Auditor put on the
clamps. Some of the officers of the
company are now under indictment
for making what are alleged to be
false reports to the auditor of State.

DEAD MEMS SHOES.
Peculiar Beliefs About Them That
Exist In the Old World.

dead mems shoes" is a common ex-
preston, but means much in many
parts of the old world, where the boots
of the dead are accorded much i'm
portan,e.
In Scotland, In the northern parts Of
England, in Scandinavia, as well as in
Hungary, Croatia and Roumania, the
utmost care is taken among the lower
classes that each corpse is provided
with pair of good shoes before being
laid into the ground. If the dead per-
son happens to be tramp and to have
been found dead barefooted there will
always be some charitable soul to fur
nish a pair of good boots for interment
along with the corpse.
An inspector of police in Scotland has
been known to purchase of his own ac-
cord a new pair of boots and to place
them in the grave, reopened for the
purpose, of n murdered stranger who
had been inadvertently inferred bare
footed the day before.
This practice, which likewise prevails
among the Tsiganes as well as in many
parts of Asia, is attributable to the be-
lief that unless the dead are well shod
when buried their ghosts come back to
haunt the locality where they breathed
their last In search Of pair of boots.
The shoes are popularity supposed to
be needed to pass in comfort and
safety the broad plains which the de-
parted soul must traverse before it
can reach paradise. Among some ma
tions these plains are declared to be
covered with furzes, thorns and mo-
rass, while other races say that they
consist Of burning sands. These plains
Of suffering are popularity credited with
forming a sort OF antechamber to hell.
1t Is for this reason that the boots of
the dead are called hell shoes" in Nor
way, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.
