A LION HUNT.

Usually q Case In Which Hunters
0oad the Game into Combat.
There is a distinction in Africa be-
tween ordinary lions and "man eat
ers," says T. R. MacMechen in Nc
Clure's Magazine. The ordinary lion
does not willfully attack man. The
presence Of lions roaming at night on
the veldt Is not disturbing to any ma
tive nor to whites who have come to
understand the beast. Persons return
ing to their camps after nightfall do
not notice the roaring Of lions or the
cries Of leopards or hyenas.
1t IL seldom that people bent upon
domestic errands carry weapons IN the
darkness, although at night the veldt
Of British East Africa Is alive with
roaming beasts. which may be heard
from the verandas Of the houses.
Lions give the passing man q wide
berth. day or night. when 1t IL appar-
ent that he means no mischief. An

will try fight before fight. When its
escape is disputed 1t will. especially II
wounded. try TO maui its enemy with
teeth and claws
A lion hunt Is usually chase in
which the hunters goad the game into
combat. Once lion has tasted human
blood. however. it is no more afraid of
man. but learns that be IL the weak

meat. Such q lion Is known AZ q man

His Final Assertion.
Mr.. Wettig's last assertion was that
the people were standing near" the
sidewalk, but in their own yard, be-
hind the fence. DR.. Bond then ex-
planned that this was perfectly per-
missable as there was no law which
could prevent it.
The ordinance was passed on a sus-
pension of the rules. 1t was shown
that the appropriation Of $500 made
last fall for the health department.
this year, had been expended with the
exception Of SLOT. 1t is probable that
there are outstanding bills, amount
ing to about $500, against the city.
The expenditures have been so heavy,
because nearly all Of the contagious
cases have been among the very poor
est citizens. DR.. Bond announced
last evening that the worst of the con-
tagion was over, according to his be-
lief.
