SAILS THE WHIRLPOOL IN BARREL
Bobby Leach Makes PerilOus Trip al
Niagara.

Niagara Falls, n. II, Sept. 90. Bobby
Leach Of Niagara. Falls, Ont, made a
trip through the whirlpool rapids in a
barrel Saturday, starting from the old
Maid Of the Mist landing, near the canti-
lever bridge.
Except for few scratches and bruises,
Leach, who claimed to have made the
trip several times before, was unhurt.
Leach started at 1855. being towed out
into the middle of the stream by row
boat. He entered the rapids at 1867,
and three minutes later was in the
whirlpool
The barrel went through the rapids,
holding 10 the middle, and riding the
tremendous waves smoothly. The Great
Wave caught it and hurled it clear of
the water, but il righted itself nicely
and went on to the whirlpool without
mishap.
Five times the barrel circIed the
whirlpool keeping to the outer edge,
away from the worthless. At the south
end OF the pool it was caught in an in
shore eddy and foated in close enough
to be caught with a pole at sos.
The only one of the barrel nayigators
to be killed in the trip to the whirlpool
was Maud Willard. who snffocated IN her
barrel on Sept. 7. 1901. She was in the
whirlpool five hours.

Announcement OF Discovery
Of Case
BELIEF IT IS NOT FIRST
Mayor at an Interview with the Premier
Urged the Necessity OF Proclaim
ing the True Situa-
tion.

Rome, Sept 20-0aicial announce
ment was made last night that one cas-,
Of Asiatic cholera had been found ii
Naples. The foreign Office has notified
the government, adhering to the sani-
tary convention signed in Paris.
II is also announced that the patient
and an who were exposed to the disease
have been isolated and that further
measures are being taken.
The sanitary STAFF at Naples has been
reinforced and all cases Of CASTRO en-.
teritis have been isolated.
The mayor has had a long interview
with Premier Luzzatti, who urged the
necessity Of proclaiming the truth con.
corning the situation, although the fact
that the cholera has been present for
some time past at Naples had not been
officially announced up to yesterday.
Il was generally believed that the an.
thorities were keeping back the truth
concerning the disease.
Brief report was made to the effect
that meteorological Investigations had
disclosed the disease as castro enteritis,
No mention was made Of cholera, but
castro enteritis is one OF the results of
the disease.
The number Of cases reported in the
last four DAYS has mounted into the
hundreds and Saturday report showed
one hundred new cases and eighty
deaths.
Corriere DTtalia says several foreign
have called the attention
OF the Italian government to the stu
alton at Naples and have offered the
aid Of psychologists and instruments to
determine the real nature OF the cpl
demic.
The Giornale DTtalia says that the
situation has caused great loss at this
port, ships refusing to take passengers
and freight, as the consuls win not give
a bin OF health During the past "a
hours, two new eases and one death
from cholera have been reported in the
southeastern districts.

Alone, blueberrying on Spreekland

Fearing thaat the bear would attack
her any moment, the brave little woman
did some quick thinking. She remem
bered that bears cannot run fast down

was below ner. she waited until the
bear turned its head, attracted by
noise further up the mountain, and
then she ran for her life.
She planned it we'll Bruin angrily
pursued her, but Mrs. Adams had a
good start and because Of It's lumber

sent bullet into the oueoming bear

headlong. and before it could rise,
