the intention Of the trustees he represented to
say nothing, because anything they might saw

that they raise their voice against some of the
reform measures. He declared that the election
provision invaded the charter rights Of the four
mutual companies in the state while the bill was
silent as to other companies. He praised the

A sensational performance took place
recently at the Stoke HippOdrome in
London, where two local billiard play
ers arranged to play match of TWEEN
tv-flve ND in the center of a lions cage.
The lions, which were under the con-
troll of q lady trainer, sat around the
cage on pedestals. Shortly after the
game had begun one of the animals
gave a loud roar, which so frightened
one of the players that he dropped his
cue. AS the game proceeded the lions
grew excited at the presence of the
strangers and dashed around the cage
In an alarming manner. The match
lasted some ten minutes, and the play
ers were loudly cheered as they LEFT

IN SURF WHEN
EARTHQUAKE CAME
San Francisco Swimmer Thought He
Had Been Struck by
Lightning.

Clarence E. JudsOn, a mechanic with
the United railroads, living at Forty
second avenue and street, is probably
the only man who was swimming in
the ocean at the moment of the earth
quake, says the San Francisco ChrOni-
Gle. His novel experience, given in his
own words, is as follows:
Tuesday morning l got up to take
my usual o'clock dip in the surf, my
daily custom for two years past. The
breakers were not so very large, but
they came in crOsswise and in broken
lines, with vicious, snappy sort of
rip and tear fashion. However, got
in up to my armpits almost, and a
breaker larger than usual came in and
shot away up on the beach, probably
seventy-five feet, end l started to go
out and instantly there came such a
shock / was thrown to my knees. l
got up and was down again. was
dazed and stunned and beiHg tossed
about by the breakers, my eyes full of
salt water and about a gallon In my
stomach. ! was thrown down three
times, and only by desperate fighting
did 1 get out at all. 1t was a close
call.
Il tried to run to where my shoes,
hat and bathrobe lay, but l guess l
must have described all kinds of hg-
ures in the sand thought was para
lyzed. Then l thought of lightning, as
the beach was full of phosphorus.
Every step l took left a brilliant In
candescent streak. l jumped on my
bathrobe to save me. l began to
think the world was coming to an end.
/ reached for my shoes and landed
with both feet on my hat twice. l
finally got dressed, after being thrown
to the ground a few more times. l
reeled and staggered like drunken
man. l thought of my wife and ba-
bies. l had left them asleep. l re-
allied we had just had terrible earth
quake. When l got to the new road
I'D on the sand dunes | saw the road
was badly cracked, houses were out OF
plumb, men, women and children were
coming out In the streets, dogs were
barking and chickens cackling. l ran
and ran at top speed and finally ar
rived at my home, to find the wife
frantic with fright, trying to manage
the babies, boy of two and twin baby
girls.
1T seemed everything was fiat on
the floor. After getting all hands
dressed and outdoors l got the house
Strengthened up. and then l constructed
a makeshift tent in a vacant space,
where we slept for two nights"

that "Bromonia'' is of such ire

If you have consumption or some
