one of his legs which it had torn

Mrs. Chris Brown beheld when she
entered the family tent, four miles
from the Hotel Delmar, after short
walk.
When the mother realized what had
taken place she screamed and almost
threw herself on the lion, which
growled savagely and hacked slowly
out of the rear of the tent, carrying
a mouthful of flesh in its teeth, and
disappeared. The Browns arrived
from Delaware two weeks ago.

TOO MUCH POLITICS."

We commend to some of the Dem
Ocratic politicians who are finding
fault with the position of The News
on city politics an editorial under
the above title in Saturdays issue of
the Lexington Herald, the leading
Democratic paper of the Blue Grass.
The editorial is particularly timely
when it Is remembered that Lexington
Is the only second-class city in the
State with a Democratic administra-
ton and that the Herald supported
that ticket and still supports the ad-
ministration. The part to which we
particularly invite the attention of
our political friends is as follows:
eve do have too much politics in
Lexington and the editor Of The
Leader is not the only one who is
responsible for that condition. Poll
hes enters too largely into. too many
relations of life and it would be bet
ter for the community if it were elm
mated except during election times.
theoretically there ought not to be
any politics" in the sense of nation
al or State politics in the government
OF city. Whether man believes
IN a high protective tariff or in free
trade; whether he is in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
or believes In the gold standard;
whether he believes in the retention
of the Philippines and the acquisition
OF Cuba, or that sea level would be
better than a lock and dam canal
across the Isthmus of Panama, does
not in the least affect his capacity to
be Mayor, auditor, policeman or fire
man.
We ourselves would like to see, and
have earnestly advocated, the com
plete elimination of the police and fire
departments from all political con-
nection. The time is coming when
these departments will be under Civil
Service rule and mans political af-
citations will have nothing to do with
his appointment to a position under
the city government or his retention
in an office.
In fact the time is coming in the
not distant future when what is
known as "the Galveston system"
will be adopted by a majority of the
cities OF America, practically elimin-
ating political divisions in the gov
eminent of cities. When any man of
real force, of high purpose, of lofty
courage, of rugged honesty, with dis
interested desire to serve the public.
with the capacity of leadership, be-
comes sufficiently interested in the
affairs of Lexington. to lead such a |
movement it will be brought about
here.
1t will come more rapidly if our
friends in control of the city govern
ment do not avil themselves to the
uttermost limit of the disinterested
desire of citizens, both men and wo-

SCOUT SCHEME OF
TALK WITH MARS

M. Bal1aud, director of the Paris OBJ

proposal.
M. Camille Flammarion, however,

the bounds of possibility.
Every condition points to the prob
ability that Mars is inhabited by ami

Inhabitants Old in Civilization.
"All genealogical studies go to show
that Mars is older and has attained a
greater development than the earth
The Martians are probably infinitely
superior intellectually to us, who have
not.yet learned to conduct the simplest
affairs, and spend three-quarters of our
resources in maintaining engines of de-
struction.
"Martians were probably trying to
communicate with the earth millions of
years ag0 before our mammoth and
cave ma period. Never having receiv
ed a reply, they possibly concluded that
the earth was not inhabited by crea-
lures of intelligence. In my opinion
communication will not be established
in our time, but perhaps will be at a
far distant day"

lesssninq Railroad Accidents.

NEW YORK, April 26.-Every five
minutes a railway casualty occurs in
the United States This carnage
shocks foreign nations and causes
them to question our standards of
civiliZation-for the slaughter excites
little protest here. The problem OF
how to save life and limb on our rail-
roads is worthy of graver concern.
That it is receiving it in certain quar-
tiers is signified in an announcement
that the Southern Pacific has adopted
a policy of giving full publicity of in
vestigations into all accidents. This
was described, not quite correctly, as
"a new era" for all railroad men

GERMAN CHILDREN
BECOMING MAYNARD.
Alarming Statistics of Growth of Crime
and immortality Among Boys
and Girls.

BERLIN, April 26-The demoralza-
ton of the youth of the Fatherland,
according to pastors and schoolmasters
is the present threat of the German
empire.
At a recent conference of the North
German states held at Hamburg, the
speakers despaired of doing to stem
the tide Of depravity which seems to
be sweeping over the children of the
country. Alarming statistics of the in
crease of theft and assault, were Of
fered, the reformatories for the young
were shown to be overlooking and the
moral status of the lower classes es-
pecially, was the subject of the gravest
concern.
The cases of girls who were mothers
of thirteen and boys fathers of fourteen
are too numerous to be more than
momentary sensation. Schoolchildren
get access to vile books and pictures,
and there is a pronounced absence of
both sexes from the Sunday school.

PROFESSOR SAYS
1T is NOT FEASIBLE WITH
PRESENT APPARATUS.
Camille FIammarion Says Plan of Com
munication Is Entirely Within
the Bounds of Reason.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20
(SpeciaD-The project to flash signals
to the supposed inhabitants of the
planet Mars, as proposed by Prof. Will
liam Henry Pickering of Harvard, is
not regarded seriously by Rev. DR..
John Hedrick, director of the observa-
tory of the Georgetown university.
Prof Pickering estimates that it
would cost about $10,OO0,000 to build a
signal plant The essential features
would be a mirrornabout a quarter of
mile square and series of gigantic
refectors by which sunlight signals
could be sent from earth to the distant
planet.
1t has been suggested that the COM
ing summer would be the bsst time for
the experiment, as Mars would then be
only about 35,00O,O0O miles from the
earth, which is 100000 miles nearer
than the planet usually approaches.
Views of Dir. Hedrck.
DR.. Hedrick said he did not regard
the scheme seriously. 1t is doubtful,
he says, whether even such plant
would convey noticeable flashes that
distance. There is no real assurance,
he points out, that there are highly
intelligent inhabitants of Mars, though
that is of course possible. And there
is no common basis of communication
so that even if the flashes were sent,
seen and answered, there would be no
means of either side determining what
the other side was trying to commune
cate.
When the subject of communicating
with Mars was preached to him Prof
Eichelberger of the naval observatory
said it was a story that bobbed up
periodically. He had seen nothing of
the particular project preached by
Prof. Pickering. but preferred to say
nothing for quotation on the subject.
FIammarion Discusses Project.
PARIS. April 26.-Prof. William
Henry chickering's idea of communicate
ing with Mars with signals flashed by
a million dollar set of mirrors is
treated with amused skepticism by the
general body of astronomers now in
Paris attending the international con-
gress to map the heavens.
The Harvard observer believes that
such signals are possible when the
nlanet shall approach within 35,000,-
coo miles of the earth or 100000 miles
rearor than ever before.

CHURCH
SECURES A RECTOR
After Being fer Many Months Without
Services of Minister, Episcopalian
CONGREGATION Has Obtained
Leader.

After being several months without
the services of minister, the parish
toner's of ST. Paurs church of this city
are elated at the prospect of soon hav-
ing very able man occupy their pull
pit and the vestrymen feel that they
have been fortunate in securing the
Rev. William Carson Shaw to act In
this capacity. The Rev. Mr. Shaw was
at one time the popular canon of All
Saints cathedral in Spokane and for
the past three years has been pastor OF
Trinity Episcopal church, Carbon
dale, Pa.
Mr.. Shaw's resignation was placed
in the hands of the vestry Of Trinity
church last night and came as a COM
plete surprise and caused an instan-
taneous protest and request for re-
consideration, says the Scranton Re-
publican The vestry will take final
action on the resignation the coming
week. AS the resignation is irrevoc-
able, its acceptance will be regretfully
ordered by the vestry, who would like
very much to have Mr.. Shaw recon
slider
1t can be said by the Republican,
however that Mr.. Shaw has definitely
determined to leave. Walla Walla is
a community of 10000 population and
st. PauPs church one. of the most
fourishing in the west 1t affords a
splendid opportunity and one that Mr..
Shaw can not well refuse. His train
ing was in the west and ST. PauPs
rectorship will take him back to a
field which is to him familiar and
congenial Another circumstance that
influenced his decision is the fact that
the family of Mrs. Shaw, as well as his
own, are of that section. The prin
cipal reason. however, is the fact that
it affords wider and more important
field for his activities. His work in
Carbonate has been congenial and
fraught with good results, but to Mr..
Shaw the west is home
