LIONS ARE TAME
Old, Wornout Animals in Africa-Story

And now comes man who would
discredit Roosevelt. The story is told
from Boston, but it is unbelievable
Think of it: Even polar bear has been

Roosevelt and his African party, &C
cording 10 Giovanni Locatelli, an animal
trainer of repute. who arrived at this
port on the Romantic today, and told
some remarkable stories concerning a
firm in whose employ he was recently
engaged.
Locatel1i says that the two largest
animal dealers on the Continent have
been buying animals from the menag-
cries and ZOOS all over Europe for the
last year and have been shipping them
by devious routes to British East Africa.
He declares that dozens of old and
dying animals have been turned loose
in the forests where Colonel Roosevelt
is hunting. Locatelli says that he was
discharged from the employ of an ami
NAL firm in Naples because polar bear,
through some mistake which was laid
to him, was shipped from Malta to Port
Melindi, small station on the coast
near Mombasa.
Several keepers were sent after the
white bear as soon as the mistake was
discovered. but they were unable to To-
cate the animal, and the poor fellow is
supposed to be at this time trying to
find companion polars of tropical breed.
According to Locatelli, aged lions,
decrepit hippopotami, feeble leopards,
which had been in captivity so long that
they would feed out Of their owners
hands, and several gnus, all obtained
from the animal shows of Europe in
exchange for better specimens, were
sent off to Africa.
In support of Locatelli's claims, he
cites the unusual number of wild ami
mails in the neighborhood of Mombasa,

DISEASE IN THE SCHOOLS.

More than 100000 children of school
age are annually laid PROSTATE by the
three preventable diseases, diphtheria,
tuberculosis and scarlet fever. and 10000
of these illnesses terminate fatally. In
diphtheria and scarlet fever the infec-
ton generally passes from pupil to pupil
in the early stage of the disease, which
only medical inspection can detect.
How widespread may be the infection
resulting from the presence of one
source of contagion is forcibly demon
strated by an occurrence in school at
Millgrove, Ohio, where boy with in
-eipient measles infected every member
of the school, including the teacher, so
that they all fell sick with nten days.
If discovered early, the sick are not
only prevented from injecting as well,
but are, in most cases, easily cured. In
one year about zoo pupils with diph-
iberia, scarlet fever and tuberculosis
were found attending the schools of

that the early discovery of these all

excluded for various transmissible all

PEOPLE AROUSED
Repeated Attacks by Negroes on White
Women Stir Northern Kentucky.

Lexington, KY, May 23.-Northerfi
Kentucky in the vicinity of Granger
and other towns along the Cincinnati
New Orleans and Texas Pacific road be-
tween Lexington and Cincinnati, is thor
oughly aroused over series of rob-
berries and attempted assaults committed
by a band of negroes during the past
week, and practically every woman in
the section of the country is heavily
armed during the day to protect them
selves against the attacks. The negroes
have grown SO bold as to even invade
the homes of the residents while the
men are known to be at work.
Saturday an attempt was made to
assault Mrs. Mary McGurk, who was at
work in her garden. 1t was only three
days previous that she was attacked by
two negroes near her home, and was
saved by the screams of her daughter,
and when the attempted assault was
made on Saturday she called to the
same child to~bring her gun and the
negro beat retreat.
One of the supposed negroes was
captured two miles from Granger Sat
urday, but made his escape from his
lone captor before mob of Infatuated
whites could reach him. Others were
taken into custody and hurried to Jail
before being mobbed, but if they are
identified by any of the women quick
work will likely be made of them.

THE COTTON CROP
Progress Is Favorable Although Late
in Some Sections

New Orleans Picayune:: The weather
during the past week has shown a de-
|cided Improvement. There has been a
more liberal distribution of rainfall in
the western portoni Of the cotton belt,
and although there have been some
heavy rains in the central and eastern
sections, there has not as rule been an
excess of moisture. Temperature has
also been more. seasonable, and as re-
suit the cotton crop has made more fav-
orable progress, although considered as
still late in most portions of the South.
The breaking of the Texas drouth
has actually been the most important
development of the week. Rain has now
fallen in good quantities all over the
State of Texas, even the extreme south
western and western portions which
have continued dry longer than other
sections of the State, have now been WIS.,
tied by good rains While this tardy adj
vent of moisture has not made up for.
the absence Of the customary winter
moisture, and the crop is undoubtedly
late, there has nevertheless been con-.
siderable improvement, and ultimate re-
suits will depend more largely on the
weather from now on than on the abb
sence Of winter rains What seems to
be established as a certainty, however,
IS that there will not be the usual liberal
