Nine Emma Schell, a professional

her beauty as for her daring. stopped
to wave greeting to her cheering au-
dience before she put her head within
the jaws of lioness at an animal
show in New York city, and that sec

Nine. Schell entered the cage with
nothing but short whip to protect
her As she opened the door the fe-
male sprang at her, but she cowed the
brute with whip lashes, closed the
gate and began to put the lions through
their PAGES.
Though both growled and roared at
times, they obeyed the commands Of
the menacing whip. and Nine. Scheli
set her audience into whirlwind of
applause when she made both beasts,
in single file walk over her PROSTATE
body, then leap back again to the cor
ner of the cage, where they obediently
stood upon their hind legs.
The climax comes in the finale, when
the lion tanner drives the lioness into
the center Of the stage, opens its jaws
with her hands and thrusts her un-
protected head inside.
1t took minutes of prodding by her
assistant outside the den to force the
angry lioness from her corner. Then
she sprang out with great leap and
would have felled her mistress with a
blow of her massive paw IL stinging
blow of the whip had not subdued her.
But even as she raised herself sulkily
upon her rear legs she snapped savage
ly at her tanner and the whip had to be
used unsparingly before she was again
brought into submission.
Then Nine. Schell opened the huge
mouth with her hands, ran her fingers

the menacing jaws.
She stopped to bow smilingly at the
audience and wave her hand, as all
performers do before attempting a
hazardous feat.
The bow and the smile saved her
life, for at that instant the lioness,
with fearful roar, thrust her paws
down upon her shoulders and buried
her teeth in her left cheek.
The woman shrieked and staggered
back. The beast lunged, with open
jaws, at her head again and tore her
other cheek.
Then as 1t was about to spring upon
her third time she threw up her

TO REMEDY SITUATION
President Discussing Legislation
for Financial Troubles.
PROMPT ACTION IMPOSSIBLE
Some Time Must EIapse Before Con.
Gress Will Be Able to Select the
Most Practicable Method From the
Many Solutions Recommended.

Washington, Nov. 5.-From an au.
the president is consulting with the
individual members of his cabinet who
have had special experience in large
financial questions respecting the leg
islation to be recommended to con-
gcess at Its approaching session relat-
ing to currency reform. Of course,
the secretary Of the treasury has taken
the leading part in these conferences,
but it is also true that the president
is not declining advice from any other
promising quarter and he has spent
many hours recently in discussing this
important subject
The discussion so far has served to
bring about the conviction that it will
be difficult to get any beneficial legis-
lation Of this character through con-
gress quickly. That was one Of the
reasons why the president did not
agree with the great interests which
recently appealed to him to call an
extra session of congress Immediately
to deal with the finances Of the coun-
try. Notwithstanding the present
great stress to which the existing ma
tional bank system, as we'll as the
correlative systems, are being sub.
jected by the currency stringency it.
is feared that some time must elapse
before the divers views entertained
by many people-bankers, merchants,
lawyers and college professors-can
be fused into one practicable and ef-
fective measure of relief. It was felt
that so great ~as the task that little
substantial gain would be afforded by
gathering congress in special session
a fortnight before the beginning Of
the regular session.

Fully 15O,0OO,OOG bushels of grain
are now ready to he marketed in the
two Dakotas and Minnesota and there
is no money with which to do it. The
necessities of the Northwest are,
therefore. much greater than in any
other section Of the country, demand
ing the fullest consideration at the
hands Of the treasury department.
''Ten million dollars placed in Twin
City banks would raise the embargo
and start grain shipments to Europe.
This would relieve the financial stress
In the East much quicker than de-
post Of treasury funds in New York.
Treasury relief operations should
have been begun here, where the con-
gestion is greatest. Our people are
not losing their heads. They have no
fear of panic, but in this crop NOV
ing season our business men should
have special consideration.

Paris, Nov 5.-The present indica-

benefit Of a 20 per cent reduction in
wines in return for preferential rates

Guiding shoes, tools, machinery, etc.,
have thus far been barren of results
and the action of the French govern
ment Saturday in virtually promising
not to conclude any further CONNER
cial arrangements until parliament
passes upon the proposed revision Of
the tariff of 1892 seems to preclude
any chance Of agreement. It is true
that last week, before the government
made its promise, a reluctant assent
was given to an extension of the de-
cree granting the minimum rates to
Porto Rican coffee until Dec. 1. While
the extension nominally keeps the
issue open for another month it is
practically certain that nothing will
be accomplished unless the United
States radically changes it's attitude.

Ever since the deposition was Sc.
cured from Mrs. Chadwick, while a
prisoner in the Ohio penitentiary at
Columbus, it has been the subject of
bitter controversy and many sensa-
tional reports of It's contents have
been circulated. The belief that start
ling admissions were contained in the
deposition gained currency through
the efforts OF counsel for NIoffstot and
Friend to have the document sealed
as ordered by the lower court In
making the document public Chief
Justice Mitchell said:
"When this case was on trial the
court below, for reasons no doubt
sufficient at the time, ordered a Ger.
tain deposition to be sealed and we
are now asked to continue the rider.
We have therefore examined the depo.
sition and find it of so little impor-
lance as to cause surprise that any
question was ever made about it. The
appellants counsel expressly states
that the deposition is not material to
any point in his case and it is plain
that the opposing counsel in their mo-
ton are guided by their clients over
constituencies rather than by their
own good judgment. The whole mat
ter is so insignificant we see no rea-
son to depart from the usual course of
practice The motion to continue the
sealing is therefore denied

various times loaned Mrs Chadwick

bored for the past ten days James R.

his brain. He was dead when his

Intimate friends Of the dead man
say that he labored under high nerv-
GUS strain for several days and feared
that a run would be made on his bank
and that there would not be enough
money to weather the storm. Boyd's
suicide caused a sensation in financial
circles, but an examination of his
books proved them to be all right.
Boyd was president Of the Huntsville

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Death Of Wealthy Boston Man Will Be
Investigated.

New York, Nov. 5.-Relatives and
close friends of Walter H. Baker, the
wealthy Boston man who died a week
ago Saturday night at the home of a
friend at Bogota, N. j., a few hours
after he had declared in a Broadway
chophouse that he had been poisoned,
think that he may indeed have been
the victim of foul play. They have
heard that scheming persons obtained
control Of large part of his fortune,
estimated at from $4,000 to 100000,
few weeks prior to his death and
they cannot find a will which Baker
Is said to have made two months ago
or learn to whom he conveyed his
money as reported. That Baker was
poisoned is doubted by lawyers in
charge of the investigation, but they
are having the viscera examined by
chemists, who are expected to report
in day or two. Bakers lawyers can
not account for his whereabouts dur
ing the two hours preceding his ap-
pearance at the chophouse, nor can
they find out who his companions

TO PROTECT GOLD RESERVE
Bank of England Again Increases Dis.
count Rate.

count Rate.
London, Nov. 5.-The persistent de-
mands from America for gold, in spite
of the recently increased discount rate
of the Bank of England and in face of
the continued rise in the cable trans
fer rate, has caused the Bank Of Eng
land to raise it's rate from 51a to 6
per cent. Although an increase to
ills rate next Thursday would not
have surprised the market the an
nouncement of the rise at this time
occasioned somewhat Of furry To-
cally. 1t is considered, however, in
financial circles to be the natural out
come of the unfavOrable New York
bank statement. When the Bank of
England's rate was raised to 51s per
cent Oct. 81 it was thought that the
situation in the United States was
clearing satisfactorily, but the contin-
ued engagements of gold at a loss of 2
to 3 per cent on the exchange rates
caused a recrudescence of nervousness
in the discount market and rates were
put up from 5B to per cent in en-
deavors to assist the bank to protect
its reserve, but the futility of the ef-
forts is shown by the fact that since
Thursday the United States has drawn
daily from the bank substantial sums,
already aggregating s5,OO0,O00. Egypt
has also commenced withdrawing gold.
Financial circles here now incline to
the belief that the 6 per cent rate will
suffice and that no further advance
will be necessary, particularly if the
Bank Of France renders it's promised
aid All depends, however, On the alb
sence of demands of alarming proper
tiOns from America.
