She Hated Garrick.

Mrs. Give was eminent as an actress on the London stage before Garrick appeared, and as his blaze of excel fence threw all others into compara- tive insignificance she never forgave him and took every opportunity of venting her spleen. She was coarse, rude and violent in her temper and spared nobody.
 One night as Garrick was perform ing King Lear" she stood behind the scenes to observe him and, in spite of the roughness of her nature, was so deeply affected that she sobbed one minute and abused him the next. and at length, overcome by his pathetic touches, she hurried from the place with the following extraordinary trib- ute to the universality of his powers: Hang him! I believe he could act a gridiron."-T P.'s Weekly.

A Bedouin's Idea of a Locomotive.

J A Bedouin's Idea of Locomotive.
 It is interesting to know that the railroad between Jaffa and Jerusalem was made possible by locomotives from Philadelphia They were orig tnally made, writes Professor Fl. w. Dunning in Today In Palestine" for road in Central America which un- fortunately could not pay for them when they were ready for delivery. They happened to be just right for the Jaffa-Jerusa1em line and were at once purchased and shipped.
 I happened to be in Jerusalem, he writes, the day the first locomotive ar rived there, Aug. 20, 1892 Not only the people from the city, but many from the villages, came to see the new wonder. Among them was a Bedouin from beyond Jordan. He carried back the report to the tribe:
 'It Is like q big iron woman. It gives one screech and then runs away"
 This ingenious description spread rapidly through the ancient land of Moab.

The Lion and the Child.

The strange spectacle of lion play ing with child is reported to have been witnessed at Vryheid. A Dutch farmer, accompanied by his wife and little boy, was out shooting game. Suddenly the attention of the parents was drawn to the child, who had tod dled a short distance away to gather wild flowers. Growing with delight, the little fellow was pulling the hair of a full grown lion, and the animal appeared to be enjoying the operation. Spellbound, the farmer and his wife stood gazing at the scene. The farmer, even If his gun had contained shot, could not have fired because of the child. The lion skipped sportiveiy round the boy until, startled by loud shouts from the parents, it walked quietly away, followed by a noness, which up to then had lain concealed in the long grass. A hunt was afterward organized, but the lions had disappear ed into the thick bush.-E East Rand Express.

who were discussing the situation.
The democrats thought they had
lulled Schaaf to sleep with their com
pliments. They played the old demo
cratic trick of sending a few repub-
leans, whom they could influence, to
Schaaf with the tip to stay out of the
race. That he was needed for bigger
and better things.
They had even nourished an oppos-
ing boom in the hope that Schaaf would
hesitate to make a fight in the primar-
les for the nomination. But all Of
their honeyed words and their political
foXyiness awaited them nothing and
Schaaf announced his candidacy IN THE
TIMES last evening
schaaf's candidacy is the first of
which the republican party in Ham
mond, through its official organ, has
taken cognizance. SO far he is the only
candidate in the field
All Are Pleased
1t was a joyous lot of republicans
who read Schaafs announcement in THE
TIMES last evening. They gathered to-
gether in scores of groups about the
city to talk the matter over. "Hurrah
for Schaaf' was heard on all sides.
Many democrats who are tired of the
dictatorial policy of the Becker admin
istration were visibly pleased with the
turn affairs have taken.
Where there had been political mac
ton in both parties before there fol-
lowed a most marvellous activity on
both sides of the fence. The democrats
who thought they were going to win
the coming election by default were
visibly perturbed. There were many
secret conferences and hushed CONVEX
sations.
The republicans were elated If
Schaaf had appeared on the streets the
probability is that he would have been
given an ovation. There was as com
plete unanimity and harmony as could
possibly be imagined. and the prospects
are for an overwhelming victory this
fall.

past FIVE years, especially during the
republican standard.
While Ripley has not yet decided to
make the race his friends are bringing
great pressure to bear upon him, and
his friends in the Young Mems Repub-
lican club of last year say they will
fight for him to the last ditch.

Aldermen Coming Out.
Even the aIdermanic field is being
filed with prospective and actual can
didates for positions on the republican
ticket The announcement of A. Nj.
Dickson. who will be a candidate for
the office of alderman in the Sixth
ward, appears in THE TINES today. and
was made only because Schaaf has con-
scented to head the ticket Mr. Dickson
was prominent in this district during
the last election, and believes that he
can win from John Papp in walk.
Colonel Bill Newman will be can
didate for denomination as alderman
at-large and expects to make the dem
ocratic brtheren trump to the queens
taste ere long.
The friends of Carl r Smiley are
urging him to come out for the nom
nation for alderman in the Second
precinct of the Ninth ward. and it is
understood that j. S. Blackburn is be-
ing urged to make the race in the First
precinct in this ward Both of these
would strengthen the ticket considera-
bly,.
To sum up the situation, the repub-
lican party will have a stronger ticket
in the field than ever before in its his
tory. The members of the party are
focking to the Schaaf standard in
droves and the success of the ticket
is prophesied on every hand
