LONG COACHING TRIP.

How NJ e. Hewlett Expects to Cross
the Continent in Ninety Days.
Morris L. Hewlett, the professional
four-in-han whip. it was said the
other day, will about the middle OF
June probably make the attempt TO
drive the road coach Magnet from San
Francisco to New York, hitherto I'M
ATTEMPTED feat in road coach driving.
The present intention is to start from
the Palace Hotel, in San Francisco,
and finish at the Holland House, Fifth
avenue and Thirtieth street, New York
City.
The Magnet will be sent to San
Francisco by rail. Mr.. Howlett's plan
is to follow the old overland route
used by the forty-niners between the
Pacific Coast and the Missouri River
and then proceed through Iowa and
Illinois into Chicago and from Chicago
follow the lines of the New York Cen
trail and Lake Shore Railroads into Al
bany. from which city an attempt will
be made to drive to the Holland House,
in New York, In one day.
The distance by road will be nearly
1000 miles, which is about 700 miles
greater than the shortest railroad dis
lance between New York and San Fran
cisco. From San Francisco to Albany
only green horses hired en- route Will
be used, and the calculation is that
about LOO animals will be required.
Mr.. Hewlett will drive his own horses
from Albany.
Ninety days is the time limit in
which Mr. Hewlett hopes to make the
journey. 1t will be by nearly 1000
miles the longest coach trip ever made.
the longest smaller American journey
being from the Missouri River to San
Francisco.

Horrible Fate of Intrepid Hunter
Win Fell Asleep.

Who Fell Asleep.
Near Tsavo station. 1873 miles from
Mombassa. during the construction OF
the line, twenty-nine Indian coolies
were killed and eaten by lions. writer
on "ROosevelt's Hunting Grounds III
the National Magazine says. Natural
ly there was a panic; the men could
not work, and three young men, Messrs-
Hubner, Parent and Ryal, took car
down to the dangerous locality TO STAY
the slayers of men. The car was lett
on the side track at the site or a Ior-
mer station long since discontinued,
where a few days before lion had
actually sprung upon man on an
open railway truck as the train slowed
down at the station platform and
carried him, vainly shrieking, for help
into the jungle.
The men knew they must keep watch
against these man-eating beasts which
had lost all fear of man and would
exert their utmost subtlety ana
strength to feed their consuming de-
sire for human flesh. 1t was arranged
that a sentinel should be always on
guard. and Ryal held the midnight
watch. sitting, rife in hand, where he
could command the doors and win
dows. Parent made a sleeping place
for himself on the floor, Hubner oc-
cupied an upper berth, and all three
anticipated successful hunt next
morning.
About . O'Clock, in the murky gloom
of the tropical night, overcome by
WEAKNESS a-ad the enervating heat,
Ryal dropped asleep. a pair Of lam
bent eyes sought him out from the half
open door, a noiseless, powerful form
crept by or over Parent as he lay
asleep, and seizing him in his power
full laws the man-eater or Isayo
sprung out through the glass and sash
of the nearest window into the cover
of the Jungle, where Rya's whitened
bones were found later.
This tragedy caused the assembling
of a great hunting party which swept
the country about Tsavo, and among
the lions killed was one great old lion
which had imbedded in his SCARED
and lately healed hide several frag-
ments of window glass, which undoubt-
edIy identified him as the slayer OF
