tion, the manager, musical director
and myself; there was a rather long
line and all looking for positions in
the chorus, and nearly every voice
was below the standard, which was
very disappointing. and the manager
got to be very. irritable as we got to
the last Of the applicants, who was
very melancholy looking man. As
he came to the piano he attempted
TO make some remark. but was
promptly cut short by the manager.
who said:
You will omit all preliminary re-
marks and get down to businessl Try
him.. he added, turning 10 the d.
rector.
The latter began the accompani-
ment to popular song. which. with
some hesitaney, the applicant for .
Job attempted with what voice he
had. His effort was about as bad as
Il could have been.
Look herel' cut in the MANAGER.

QUIET KING OF BEASTS.
Beautiful Animal Seen by Young Eng

That the lion Is not always the roar
Ing. tearing beast Of legendary de-
Bcriptlon may be seen in the following
extract from the diary of a young
Englishman who is at present serving
his country In northern Nigeria:
Il had just topped long incline and
was walking my pony. whom on com
ing around n corner OF the road, hid
den by some trees, saw, 10 yards in
front Of me, basking in the sun on an
open ratch OF burning grass. = mag
nifscent fullgrown lion. The sun was
not strong. and he was very laxiiy
Aicking his tail from side 10 side. He
had a short mano, and his eyes were =
lovely amber red in the weak sxn-
hight.
MY first sensation was one OF
Astonishment, profound amazement
and delight at seeing such fine beast
He was a beauty, and 1t seemed impos-
sible to realize that he was really wild
as he lay on his side looking at me
with his head raised as a dog does
when he hears his masters footstep.
He was fat as butter. sleek coated and
glossy.
MY pony. as the breeze was coming
from the other direction, did not wind
him ana went steadily on without so
much as pricking up his ears. My
dog was walking on in front, about
Ten yards, and luckily did not notice
him. II was not until was actually
passing him that | realized that II
the lion took it into his head to fancy
bit OF white man | should be unable
to dispute his right.
After | had proceeded some 150
yards the lion got up leisurely and fol-
lowed along the road behind me, but
after going about 100 yards, he turned
into the bush at the side of the road"

to secure money with which to build
a house for Mrs. White and daughter
TO live in. their home having been
burned by the firebug. Word has since
been received from Mrs. Whites son
that he is financially able to provide

ance. He appreciates the interest we
have taken and is grateful for it, He
expects to send his mother and sister
to California in the near future. In
asmuch as the house is not to be built
we expect to return the money, except
to those who wish their subscriptions
given to Mrs. White for her personal
use. A few made cash donation
without giving their names and we
cannot return the money to them un-
less we receive their names and the
amount given. In lieu Of not receiving
this notice the amount thus given will
be turned over to Mrs. White.

FREIGHT IS BEING
 KEPT 0N THE ROAD Company Says That the Expected Tie Up In Yards Will Not
 Take Place.
WAITING FOR FITZPATRICK
Sixty New Men Put To Work To-day-There Will Be No
 Sympathy Strikes.

New Haven, Aug 10.-There is little change in the strike of the switchmen of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, except that freight is being handled better than at any time since the strike went into effect, three days ago. It Is said that the expected tie-up in the yards of the railroad company will not materialize as the road has enough men to keep its cars moving, though not enough to fill the places of the strikers.
 Valentine Fitzpatrick. the vice. grand master of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, is expected here to-day and 1t is thought that his visit will be the means of bringing about a settlement of the difficulty. AS far as could be learned to-day there will be no sympathetic strike of switch men at other places along the rail- road, especially as that in Bridgeport yesterday lasted only few hours, the men being ordered back to work by George J. Henry, of the general grievance committee of the brother hood, as soon as he heard of 1t.
 The railroad has filled the places of sixty of the strikers with men from other points. More men will re- port tonight and it is believed likely that the freight trains will begin moving tomorrow morning.
