LION LOOSE ABOARD
 VESSEL
KILLED 4 SAILOR AND CHASED SHIPS OFFICERS INTO THE
 RIGGING PElL-MElL.

NEW YORK. Dec. [. - The crew of Lascars on the German freight. steamer Birkenfels will never ship again on q steamer carrying jungle beasts. for a ferociOus lion, part of he vessels cargo, escaped from its cage during he height of a gale killing one of their number and right ming the others almost into 5pasms.
 The horror of the hour at sea when the lion broke loose from its age, killed sailor, and remained n possession of the decks until Iriven into the sea by a fusilade of shots, was told today by Second Officer Harry Petker
 The lion E'th it's mate. in a leavy oaken cage. was taken aboard at Bombay. Two weeks ago, when zoo miles south and west of Der muda, the vessel encountered a storm. Captain Friedrich was on the bridge roaring orders to the cren 0f Lascars, when the sailors gave
 ne wild shriek and fled below Of ;iCer Petker ran aft as the last man disappeared into the hold and saw l sight that shook all his seaman's courage. At the break of the poop, his body quivering with snarls, stood he great lion above the body of a sailor he had killed.
 Just then Henry Matthess, the wireless operator, slipped out on deck, but warning cry sent him pack to his cabin. Petker and the first and third officers dashed below and secured revolyers. They craWled aft, leaving Captain Fried rich and a single quartermaster un- armed on the bridge. The three officers hld behind boats and bull Warks and began firing. Only one struck the lion. It took off one of his toes, With an angry roar he lien leaped up on to the deck from which the officers were firing and they took to the rigging, fir ing as fast as they could reload heir pistols. Several shots struck the beast. With a great leap il reached the poop-and leaped blindly into the sea.
 The ships carpenter, with great courage, then crawled back along the deck, and nailed up the broken cage before the other lion could escape.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26. - Hageland Barcelow, commuter from Richmond, appeared in Police Judge Conlans court, charged with having disturbed the peace. Be. caused he unused too long on Satur- day night he missed his boat by a minute. Determined to correct this on Monday, he arrived at the Ferry building one hour too soon. He was drowsy and decided to lie upon a seat in the waiting rooom and take a little nap.
 His head sank into something soft, and so he sighed and fell asleep. Now, he did not know that the cushion OH which his head reposed was the lap of a be-spectacled old lady, who was reading the after noon paper. Her little dog was curled up at her feet fast asleep, and she, evidently believing that the little animal had jumped up in her lap, began to stroke as she supposed his shaggy coat. She did not know that she was stroking the luXuriant hair of Hageland Barce- low, a commuter.
 The gentle caress disturbed Bar celoW's Slumber. He turned his head from side to side and said, Don't" Instantly the old lady screamed and pushed the heavy head Of Barcelow to the floor The rest of Barcelow followed his head and then he jumped up in rage
 Policeman McNamara arrived at this juncture and found that Barce- low wanted to thrash him. He sub- dued the commuter and arrested him.
 T thought I was home," said Bar celow.

is conducted quietly and without
publicity or embarrassment to those
helped. The good women of the
city who devote themselves to the
work receive no reward other than
the comfort and satisfaction of per-
forming a duty towards the less for
tunate. Throughout the year they
apply themselves unselfshly that
ings akin TO poverty. You are ask
ed merely to join with your fellow
citizens in supplying the financial
assistance At that il is but a small
part that you are playing in the la
Dor that is so willingly assumed by
these humane women.

the labor leaders Samuel Gompers,
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison
shall go to Jail to serve the sentences
pronounced against them two years
ago for contempt of court in the boy
colt Of the Bucks Stove and Range

aroused worldwide interest.
