LET'S LIONS EAT HIM UP.

High Brazilian society is talk
ing eXCitedly of the greatest SEN
sation it has had in many years
and which calls to mind the DAYS
OF ancient Rome, when Nero's
we'll worn favorites were wont to
invent some idea for relieving that
hckle emperor of their presence.
Several days ago one of the
picturesque noblemen of the old
empire, Viscount Almeida, who
faced disgrace because OF debts
and whose conquests of society
women were certain to bring
about Ostracism, gave 4 sumptu-
GUS banquet. The elect of the
capital were invited. and every
seat was filled because the host
had promised startling surprise.
After the feast the host led his
guests to large hall, where they
saw a cage of lions. which had
been hired from a menagerie.
On the qui vive for the sensation
the guests were soon strick-
en- with horror to see the viscount
open the door of the cage and en-
ter and draw the bars.
The lions bounced upon the
gayly dressed host, who still was
smiling, and III a twinkling he
was being torn and bitten by the
savage beasts.
The guests could not under
stand the foolhardy feat, but sub
sequent developments indicated
that Almeida deliberately chose
this method of suicide to avoid
dIsgrace.-American Press.

HOSPITAL INVESTIGATION.

That the action of the General
Hospital Board came as Il great
shock and surprise to the people
.-nf- Mathews is but a mild state
ment. 1t was great disappoint-
ment to the people among whom
: ri. Foster was born and raised
and irr whose midst he passed
many years in the successful large
aud increasing practice of his pro-
iesSIon. These people had OBJ
served his energy and his ability,
! and knew his high character and
the enthusiasm with which he
took hold of everything with
0nich he was connected. They
had carefully followed the in
NestigatiOn at Williamsburg and
" ere delighted that not one sim
gle transaction at that institu-
ton reflected upon DIR. Fosters
watchfulness. efficiency, integrity
or ability. Those of them who
we're at all familiar with cOndi-
tons in the last Legislature at
Richmond knew that Messrs.
Sadier and Ould, the avowed
associates, friends and supporters
Of L. II. Cloves, sought appoint
Tnent upon the committee for the
purpOseof indicating Cloves and
did NOT expect either a fair or an
unpregudiced report from them.
The report Of the majority Of
that committee has a complete
vindication of the character. abil-
ity and administration of DR.. Eos.
ter. and justified the judgment
and faith of his friends.
The action of the majority of
the General Hospital Board, in
face of the facts and against the
strong endorsement of the man.
agement of the hospital given by
the Legislature Committee is I'M
precedented in the history of
Virginia. They had never read
the report Of the proceeding, nor
Trad any member of the Board
done so, they had taken only a
few hours to consider the whole
matter and they acted with such
haste incOnsiderateness as to sug-
gest that the action had been dc
termined before the Legislature
committee had made its report,
and that they had determined to
blackcn the reputation of honor
able Citizens upon evidence which
they had not heard, read or con-
sidered, and in the face Of vindi
cation. strong, clear and unques-
toned, given by those who heard
the evidence.
The action Of the General Hos
pital Board in this matter casts
grave reflection upon themselves
III that they four years ago re-
elected DR.. Foster, when nearly
every alleged offense of which
they now complain has been
committed-and their action, too,
in finding as they have done,
will prove Banquo's ghost to the
Democratic party.

MINORITY REPORT OF HOSPITAL
BOARD.

OF the General Hospital Board
in regard to the Eastern State
Hospital.
1t Is a spicy paper and and a
general and specific denial of the
allegation on which DR.. Foster
and his assistant were removed.
The language is plain and en-
phatiC and the report Of the spe-
cial committee is taken up sec
ton by sections and disposed of.
The report concludes:
We are advised and believe
that that committee never met
after its organization until Mon
day night last the night before
the meeting of this board: that
one of the committee had taken
d portion of the evidence, another
another portion, and the third
another portion; and that the
whole committee never did read
the whole evidence, and that the
other gentlemen OF the board have
never had an opportunity to read
the evidence at any time, the
evidence having only been hand.
ed TO them since we have met
here. On that knowledge of the
facts you have framed the fore
going indictment and asked us to
sustain it. We must respectful
ly decline to perform public duties
after such fashion. or be parties
to blaCkening of reputation and
the destruction of character of
three honorable citizens of this
Commonwealth. two of whom
have been in its service for nearly
eight years in the most trying pos
itions assumed by persons who
serve the State and whose work
upon visit to the hospital at
Williamsburg where the comfort
and good health OF the patient
or the kindly care of them in
sickness is a sufficient denial of
Carelessness. indifference, lack of
ttention or of professional skill.
We believe that this hospital
has been as we'll and as decently
managed as the circumstances
would permit. and if there was
lack of anything tending to lessen
its usefulness. that lack came no
more from the physicians dis
charged from its service than
from the actions. prior to this in
vestigation. yOn have been as 81
lent as the tomb.
You, gentlemen, seem to over
look or forget the fact that this
hospital is not governed alone by
the superintendent and hia as
slstant physicians, but that in adj
dition there is a general board,
and that if thee was a lack of
harmony. or anything tending to
impair its usefulness known to
the special board prior to this in
vestigaiton, you should have CAL
ed the offenders to account. There
is much evidence in the record
touching the subject Of that spe-
cial board, but you have in sub
stance not noticed it in your re-
port.
We cannot be put in a position
OF playing to the grandstand, fol-
lowing a popular wave. or. which
is still worse, Of finding persons
guilty of grave offenses upon evil
dence which we have not cad nor
upon such evidence reported to
us by others, when they them
selves have read the whole of it.
In considering the above re-
port, you find that charge made
by your committee against DR..
Foster. that he was in the main
responsible for the condition OF
the Montague building was I'm
ust. and you were forced 10 strike
t out.

President and Cabinet to Prosecute
 Standard oil Monopolists.


 WASHINGTON. June 22.-President Roosevelt has decided to strike again at the Standard oil company and to strike as hard as he can At the meet ing of five members of the cabinet which he called at the White House it is understood definite determination was arrived at to begin criminal prose- cutions against the Standard oil off cials and those railroads that have been giving the great oil monopoly rebates.
 The cabinet meeting was composed of all the lawyer members who were in the city. Messrs. Root, Taft. Moody and Bonaparte and Postmaster Gen eral Cortelyou, who is always present whenever the president decides on an important policy. Under the Elkins law the person who receives rebate is equally guilty with the party giving It.
 A prominent official of the govern ment said more than two weeks ago that the department of justice was in possession Of sufficient evidence to con vict the Standard Oil company not only under the anti-rebate law, but un- der the Sherman antitrust law. for maintaining a monopoly in restraint of trade.

LUCKY co BETWEEN
Suburban Furnished Great Sport at Sheepshead Bay.
DANDELION BEATEN BY SHORT HEAD
Colonial Girl Dropped Into Third Place From Noyvhere-Time One- fifth Slower Than the
 Record.

NEW YORK, June 9. . Alexander Shields fve-year-old Meddler-Indigo gelding, Go Between. carrying 116 pounds and third choice in the betting at to 1, won the S20,O00 Suburban handicap before one of the greatest crowds that ever witnessed the event at the Sheepshead Bay course of the .Coney Island Jockey club.
 Go Between was but short head in front of F. R. Hitchcock's four-year- old Hamburg colt Dandelion, which was equal favorite in the betting with Cairngorm at 8 to l. Colonial Girl, backed down from 20 to 1 to fifteens, was third, three lengths behind the first two horses and the same distance in front of the nine others in what was conceded to be probably the worst field that ever started ill the turf classic.
 The finish of the race was terrific drive, Go Between catching Dandelion at the sixteenth pole in the stretch and fighting it out head and head to the wire. Shaw, on the winner, put up masterly ride, while Miller on Dande- lion got every ounce of strength out of his mount. AS the two leaders rushed to the judges stand. both jockeys lash ing the ribs of their horses into great foaming welts. the 30.OO0 or more rac- ing enthusiasts at the course rose to their feet and wildly shouted encour- agement to jockeys and horses alike
 As the race started the lightweighted Cederstrome and the three-year-old As tronomer rushed away into the lead. with aDandelion third, Miller placing the horse nicely. @a'acg '
 Coming out of the back stretch, Ce- derstrome had begun to tire. and the entire field had closed up to such an extent that seven or eight lengths GOV cred the distance from leader to last horse. Sweeping into the stretch. Dandelion was in front. leading by a length. The thousands who had play ed the favorite were shouting with the surety of victory. Cederstrome was rapidly falling out of the race. but Cairngorm, Dolly Spanker and Toka- lon, the latter the winner of the Brook lyn handicap, were yet to be reckoned with.
 And behind these was Go Between. with Shaw sitting still in the saddle The gelding's renowned stretch run ming qualities were well known to the race goers. Once the horses had strengthened out for the finish Shaw let his mount have his head. and great cry vent up from the specta. tors. In a few jumps Go Between had passed every horse in the field but the fast flying Dandelion. Then the red and black jacket of Shaw showed be- side the Hitchcock green on Miller and the shout, Co Between wins" was taken up from one end of the crowded stands to the other. The drive between the two was a furious one. but Go Between. running straight and true. was going away at the end.
 Colonial Girl dropped into third place from nowhere The others finished in the following order: Agile. Tokalon. Proper, Dolly Spanker. Kuroki. Cairn- eorm. Astronomer. Cederstrome and Oxford.
 The time of the race was 2sn5 1-5. The record for the race is POS, made by Hernis in 1904.
