Barnum G. Bailey.

The visitor of the district school
may have been somewhat puzzled by a
school child's definition of the equator
as "a menagerie lion running around
the world through Africa" but the an
swer comprehensively indicates the
common association OF the lion with
that continent. whereas lions were,
and still are, common in what was
once Assyria. and in other parts of
the far-away east. But the most of
the lions brought to Europe and this
country really do come from Africa,
and are bigger better looking, of bet
ter condition and more decided traits
of character than the lions of other
parts of the world. Some of the
African specimens in the Barnum and
Bailey menagerie are of the highest
type yet publicly exhibited.
1t is an error TO suppose these mag
nificent creatures are ferocious. even
in their free state. They are wise and
never wantonly cruel. Agents of the
Barnum and Bailey shows who pene-
trate the wilds to find the rare or per-
feet animals confirm the amateur
hunters of big game in saying chat no
lion will attack man unless 1t Is
made desperate by hunger, or hurt by
bad shot. A wild lion will usually

BURNETT LAW Is
CONSIDERED GOOD

Under the new Burnett law it is
unlawful for gypsies to camp in a
tent or wagon or to build a fire on
any public highway of the state with
out first obtaining the consent of the
property owner whose land abuts on
the highway where the proposed stop
is to be made. Several valuable farm
properties have been destroyed in the
past few years as a direct result of
fires built along the public highway
by tramps and mendicant peddlers,
and the law seeks to put stop to fur
ther loss from this source by check,
ing the practice. The state fire mar,
shall believes the law is a good one
and means to see that it is properly
enforced.

QUEER SUICIDE
Man Hands Watch to Fellow Passen-
ger Then Leaps from Liner
Into Sea.

New York, June 25.-vWhile the
Cunarder Etrusia was entering port
this afternoon from Liverpool and
Queenstown, steerage passenger
jumped on the after rail of the steer
age deck, after handing a gold watch
to a fellow immigrant, and leaped far
out from the liner. The passengers
who were near the man cried in sew
eral languages that there was a man
overheard. The alarm quickly spread
all over the ship and nearly every cab
in passenger was soon peering into
the placid water of the lower bay, just
below the narrows, off the west bank
light, for some sign of the man. Cap
tain Potter stopped the ship within a
few lengths, as she was proceeding
slowly and a boats crew lowered a
lifeboat.
The bay was searched for more
than mile and did not give up until
after nearly two hours of search, but
no trace of the suicide was found.
The mans baggage will be examined
to find something about him 90 it may
be turned over to his relatives if he
has any.

ELABORATE
System of Spies Main
tanned by Frank Gould
and His Wife
EACH WATCHES OTHER

New York, June 25.-That Frank J.
Gould, half crazed by jealousy of his
beautiful young wife, had for years
kept her surrounded by private detec-
tives In the guise of servants, while
Mrs. Gould. in her turn, had filled his
yacht with a-crew of gumshoe men in
her employ, were some of the revela-
tions made in connection with New
Yorks latest millionaire divorce scan
day.
Following the serving of a summons
yesterday on Mr.. Gould in suit for
absolute divorce, there came the an
nouncement today that Mrs. Gould
will seek her freedom on statutory
grounds. The most sensational feat
ure in the action has to do with an
episode on Mr.. GOuld's yacht, the
Helentina, in which a beautiful young
singer, whose name has not been di-
vulged, played the leading part. 1t
will be alleged, according to report,
that Mr.. Gould has for several years
been training this woman's voice for
the grand opera stage under the best
masters in Europe, and that she ac-
companied him on long cruises in his
yacht The specific act of misconduct
with the young woman will be alleged,
it was learned today. to have taken
place some three or four years ago
off Sidney, Nova Scotia. There will
be such testimony from former mem-
1p bic
is said is only one of number of
acts of misconduct to be urged by
his wife against the muiti-millionaire
son Of old Jay Gould.
What evidence Mr.. Gould will offer
in rebuttal is not known. He has
however, had his wife shadowed for
a long time past, though it was not
till her old butler, Paul, found one of
the jealous husbands paid agents
peeking through a keyhole that even
the servants themselves suspected
that the house was filed with pri-
vate detectives. Paul made known
his discovery to Mrs. Gould, who put
the man through the third degree and
after he had given up the names of
his confederates, turned the whole
gang out of the house.
When she had rid herself for the
time being of her husbands spies,
Mrs. Gould set about getting evidence
against Frank in retaliation. Through
clever work on the part of her own
detectives, she succeeded in getting
| \. I,IA
tina's former crews. and from these
men obtained part of the information
on which she renews her action for
divorce. At the present time, acquaint-
| ances of the Goulds say Mrs. Gould
has spies in her husbands establish
ment and the husband has spies in
his wife's. Neither can undertake the
least act of the daily routine without
its being known to the other.

Pres. ROOSEVELT
Will Attend Cleveland Funeral At
tended by Mrs. Roosevelt
and Sec. Loeb.

Oyster Bay, June 25.-President
Roosevelt leaves Sycamore Hill to-
morrow afternoon for Princeton where
he will attend the funeral of Grover
Cleveland. The president will reach
Princeton at 4:44 and will start back
for Oyster Bay Immediately after the
funeral services reaching here about
$3.50. The president will be accom-
panied by Secretary Loeb and his US
ual secret service guard. Mrs. Roose-
welt it is expected will accompany
her husband.
Out of respect for the memory of
Mr.. Cleveland, the president remain
ed quietly at home at Sycamore Hill
today and received no visitors except
Secretary Loeb who made his regular
trip with the official mail. There is
no flag on the executive Office here
so the presidents order to place the
flags at half mast on all department
buildings could not be obeyed, but the
flag on the tall staff in front of the
town hall was placed at half mast and
this observance was followed general
ly by the people of the village.

MASS|LLON
Citizens in Many In
stances Dissatisfied
With Report of Char
tiles Board Probe
WAS NOT UNEXPECTED

Massillon, June 25--A dispatch from
Columbus announces that the report
of the investigating committee of the
state board of charities, upon the
result of the probe into conditions at
the Massillon State hospital is being
prepared for submittal to Governor
Harris. It Is staf5d that in the report,
the exoneration of the hospital author
titles and employees will be complete,
and that no one will be held in any
way responsible for the mysterious
death of John Q. Adams at the insti-
tuition on May 16.
The nature of the report while 1t
occasions little or no surprise, among
the thousands of interested persons
of this community, has nevertheless
raised much Indignation among those
citizens who feel that the probe OF
the investigating committee was
farce in the truest sense of the word.
From the very first, the general
opinion about this city was that the
investigation would end much in the
manner it did, but it was not common
the hospital would be as complete as
the dispatch reports 1t will. Several
times since the existence of the state
hospital, charges of cruelty and crimes
by the attendants have been brought
out, and half hearted attempts were
made to investigate them. One OF
these instances occurred about year
and a half ago, when Benjamin F..
Holl, of Wooster, died, 1t is said, with
his skull caved in, and with ribs brok-
en-. Holl was a man of some artistic
toTlity and some of his pictures still
andrn the walls of the hospital. He

Bydenever violent. A coroner's in
man ! was held in this case but the
Athens was quickly hushed. This with
vacatA other instances, gave founda-
gtAor the belief that the charity
III would not make any great at
-pt to prove the charges.
citing Coroner Boutwell,, in his re-
=t, charged the death of Adams to
the hospital attendants, and furnish
ed considerable evidence to substanti-
ate the charge. BY a careful consid-
Grafton of all the facts CLEANED in the
inuuest he narrowed the number of
possible assailants Of Adams down to
three While the Adams case from
beginning to end was very puzzling,
it is felt by many that the committee
did not do its duty in probing the
affair.
= Tie work of the committee UP to
the time it adjourned was but half
completed. All of the members seem
ed anxious to be done with the mat
ter and wound up the investigation
before 1t had been much more than
fairly started Acting Coroner Both
well had number of witnesses whose
word could rot have been doubted,
who were ready to appear before the
committee and testify to instances of
cruelty to patients. These were COM
pletely ignored by the probers. With
out any difficulty at least half dozen
former employees of the Massillon hos
pital, now living in Massillon, could
have been persuaded to go upon the
witness stand and tell startling tales
of cruelty. No effort was made to Sc
cure these.
Indignation scarcely expresses the
feeling of the Massillon people. What
can they do? Nothing. The word of
the committee is final.

can institution OF importance that has made any
move against coeducation, does not find the change
satisfactory. Professor John Graham Brooks. in
public address given last June in Brookline, Massa-
chusetts, said
with the University of Chicago who had been active
in bringing about the segregation of the women
students in the freshman and sophomore years. He
said to me, We made stupid mistake. The stu

young men, especially, are not reused by emulation
to keep up with the young women in their studies

women applying, We feared the university would
become too much woman's institution, and
decided to segregate them during the two years.
But we made great mistake, and we have found

Dr. Halls reactionary views the ques-
ton in general and women education in particular
have caused his judgment to be seriously discounted
by prominent educators, especially those who have
had much experience in teaching girls. President
Thomas of Bryn Mawr College. in her address at
the recent quarercentennial of the Association of
Collegiate Alumn9 in Boston, told how in her girl
hood she read book on Woman" by once famous
French writer, and distressed and disguised by
his coarse and contemptuous view of women. She
continued:
Although during the next thirty years l read
every book women that l could obtain. in any
language, never CHANGED again upon book that
seemed to me to degrade in my womanhood
as President Stanley Halls chapters and

again from every pseudoscentiic page. But how
