AAwAIIAns SAW SHIP zoo.
Many Had Never Seen a Lion, Tiger
or a Leopard Before.

A curious throng visited the Ameri.
ca Maru yesterday to see the menag.
erie attached to the Hindoo Circus,
says the Honolulu Advertiser. Prob
ably three-Quarters OF the visitors had
never seen a lion, tiger or leopard be-
fore. but even these magnificent crea.
lures psled before the superior at
fractions Of two small trick elephants.
During the forenoon Manager Chatre
Of the circus ascertained from San
Francisco that he could not land hts
attraction in Honolulu for q lay-over
However, he was in a small way COM
pensated for this loss. as hundreds Of
people. old and young. and Of every
nationality in the city, came to see tho
animals. The admission fee of ten
cents each was charged, the money
being taken at the head of the gang
way by a Hindoo dwarf. The two ele
plants were subjected to all manner
of criticism. both being wonders to
the natives in particular. The tiger.
said to be one Of the largest in cap.
tivity, was magnificent creature, but
he was not in the best of humor, and
Hindoo had to warn people from ap-
proaching too near his cage. A little
girl yesterday forenoon approached
too close to the leopard's cage. and
quick as q flash his paw shot out
between the bars and the flesh upon
one of her legs was lacerated. A
lady's maid aboard the, vessel felt his
claws sink deep into one Of her legs
early in the voyage, although she was
not much hurt.

DEMOCRATS TALK OF DARK HORSE
Neither smith Nor Dahlman IL salts
factory to Party at Large.

The report that a dark horse is being
put in condition 10 make the democratic
race for the mayoralty nomination is being
bruited around with considerably more
vigor than last week. One well known
democrat. who has had a hand in every
important local campaign for the last ten
years. says:
Il don't mind saying that / am not COM
mitted either to Smith or Dahlman, feeling
that neither can produce the strength
necessary TO elect. A few of US who feel
al do have got together and picked upon
democrat whom we regard better
mayoralty timber than either. He has
been consulted and has agreed to become
a candidate if certain conditions result
from the fight between Dahlman and
Smith. His name will be kept secret until
that time 1t is not G. NJ. Hitchcock for
he still wants to go to congress again, nor
James p English. who has like designs
on the county attorneyship which he was
forced to relinquish to Slabaugh. But 1t
looks very much though this dark
horse will be brought out in time to make
a good campaign for the nomins ton.
There is no longer any question but
that the fight between Dahlman and
Smith will be one OF the bitterest the local
democracy has ever known. r. L. Met
calfe who might be thought out OF Omaha

one OF the pushers behind the Dahlman
candidacy. He has an old grudge against
Ed p. Smith because the latter several
years ago blocked Metcalfe's hopes of a
| congressional nomination by threatening TO
come out against him il Metcalfe made a
bid for the place. Metcalfe sometime ago
declared that If Smith were a candidate he
