NO FIGHTING FOR HIM.
Walter Freeman Prefe-s to Live the SIM
pie Life in Barre.

Walter Freeman, the Barre midget
and probably the smallest man in the
state, mas decided not to accept the chal-
lenge of Edmond Francoer OF Manehes-
ter, n. H., the boy athlete, to box or
wrestle. Walter thinks that he could
easily defeat the New Hampshire prod
ICY, but the latter has posted no for
felt; and another reason for calling the
bout off is that Walters father objects
to his entering the pugilistie profession.
It is not known that any considerable
amount OF lucre had been posted on the
mill, but, if so, all bets are hereby called
oil, and the sporting fraternity will be
unable to see the match between the
81 year-old man and the tive-year-old
boy wonder.

TWO BIG LEOPARDS
ESCAPED FROM CAGE.

Two big East India lcOpards leap
ed out of u cage into the audience mt
the hoo, a permanent circus in North
avenue Baltimore, Saturday night,
causing wild stampede for the
doors.
Nine. Loi had six Ieopar,ls doing
tricks in a steel cage. The bars rise
to n considerable height and then
turn inward, the cage having no roof.
The Ieopards were posing in dif-
ferent attitudes, when one of them
refused to do his trick. Mhe. Loi
prodded the beast and it leaped from
the platform to a height of 10 feet.
1t cleared the top of the bars and
kept on toward the edge of the gal
lery.
The beast landed on the head of
Louis Sloan. 13 years old. tearing
the flesh off one side of his face to
the bone.
A second leopard made the leap
upward and dropped into the crowd.
Pandemonium reigned at once and
there was a wild rush for the doors.
Before many could escape Police
Sergeant Barringer locked the doors
leading out of the gallery to mar
row stairway, thus preventing a loss
of life,.
Men. women and children were
soon shouting and crying and wo-
men became hysterical. They beat
against the doors with their fists, but
to no avail.
During the height of the excite
ment the two leopards were moving
in and out among the people. The
leopards worked their way through
the shrieking crowd into dressing

shut, after which cages were brought

FORTUNATE IN HIS i.
ENEMIES. i.
Observation-Disclosures;

An eastern paper had Mr.. Bryar
interviewed about his income, and
shaped its questions with the evil
dent purpose of showing that the
Nebraskan is making an enormous
fortune from his speeches. In the
same line Harper's Weekly had a
cartoon not long ago intended to
impress its readers with the notion
that Mr.. Bryan's political activity is
inspired by the money-making value
it gives his name. The purpose of
both interview and cartoon was to
make people believe money is the
primary motive in all of Mr.. Bryan's
plans, and that the success of his
party is only incidental to the mer-
cenary object.
So long as Mr. Bryan earns his
money honorablv it is nobody's busi-
ness how much he gets or what he
does with it. The people who pay to
hear him speak get full value or he
wouldn't have such great drawing
ability, and it is no reflection on him
that he devotes his talents to plat
form and editorial duties in pref
erence to accepting retainers from
corporations. Senator Knox of
Pennsylvania got more in one fee
than Mr.. Bryan will earn in a decade
but no one has thought to accuse
Senator Knox of improper motives
or to criticise him for being in poll
tics as well as in law practice. Mr..
Harvey, the editor of Harper's
Weekly, is probably worth ten times
as much as Bryan may ever hope to
own, yet no one criticises Mr.. Har-
vey for attempting to name presi-
Dental candidates in both parties
ing the Denver convention.
Moreover, it is true, as Mr. Bryan
said, that he speaks oftener without
pay than for it. and an instance in
point will illustrate how he does it.
The Y. NJ. C. A. of Evansville, Ind.
needed money, and got Mr.. Bryan
to appear for a Sunday lecture. He
would have no admission charge. be-
cause he did not want to bar poor
men from hearing him, but collec-
ton was taken up at the close of his
talk. Although he had spoken with
out pay. the Nebraskan led the col
lection list with a cash contribution
to show his interest in the Y. nj. c.
A. work and to start the contribu-
tions right. To do this he lost
twenty-four hours of valuable time,
Travelled at night and paid his own
expenses. Possibly Mr.. Harvey
would say Bryan's purpose was po-
litical, but If it was this country
needs more men who will seek poll
tical popularity in the same way.
Mr.. Bryan may count himself for
tunate in the enemies he has made
and in their stupidity. for attacks of
that puerile kind can only serve to
increase his popularity by calling
attention to the great good he is do
ing entirely apart from his campaign
for the education of the public con-
science against wrongdoing in high
places-Salt Lake Herald.

Americans who each year come to
Europe-to see how they eat in the

they prefer, how the food is served
