A native ayah (nurse) recently took
out two little children for a mornings
promenade The younger child broke
away from the nurse and ran on to the
railway line just as an express train came
in sight. The ayah ran after the child

Bio Game Hunter Gives Inter-
esting Description of
Northeastern Rh0deSia.


LONDON. October 1. 1911.
An interesting account of northeastern
Rhodesfa and its native tribes has been
given to a representative of the Daily
Chronicle by DR.. characterization, who
has recently returned to England after
spending some years in that country as
district medical officer. DR.. Dunbar
Brunton is we'll known as big game
hunter
There is something strange said DR..
Dunbar Brunton, 'in the encounter or wild
beasts In q country which has the charm
and beauty of some parts of England,
for northeastern Rhodesia has not the
savage character Of tropical scenery. In
the center of the country there Is
high plateau rising to 5000 feet. richly
wooded from top to bottom and extending
for 40 by 800 miles. With. a temperate
climate, 1t has the sylvan beauty OF the
Tyrol and the trees rise up clean anu
free from jungle or tropical underground
little rivers like the trout streams OF
Scotland run down the hillsides, and In
the valleys and plains there are districts
like the park lands of ENGLAND.
'It is curiously disconcerting. therefore,,
to see the ugly old head of hippopota-
mus poking through the PUSHES on the
bank of a river or an alligator lying
asIeen there or herds of wild buck
through a vista of trees. It is still more
curious to run up against lions, as l.
came suddenly upon two OF them one day
crouching in the bush. One Is inclined TO
ask where are the keepers.
Natives Run Risks.
.sThe lions which roam the country
stretching southwark from Lake Mweru
do not always avoid the presence Of hui
man beings Indeed, from time imme-
mortal they have been man eaters. With
in a recent period fifty-three men have
been killed by lions in district where
the sleeping sickness has accounted for
only four deaths. The natives are unable
to protect themselves from this constant
peril because they have no guns. More
over they run additional risks owing TO
their own carelessness. Being OF lazy
disposition, they do not move far from
their huts to cultivate their tobacco and
other crops. Their gardens and cultivated
patches are made In the lanes between
the trees. and as the villages are closely
bounded by the forests the lions are able
to steal unperceived upon the natives to
the very doors Of their huts.
at happens not seldom that two or
three men sitting in the open telling the
old folk lore stories will be pounced upon
by man-eating lion and killed before
they can turn their heads. Many man
STOPPING over his tobacco plants has
been seized and carried OF by a lion
which has made its way stealthily
through the outskirts Of the village. One
man had his face bitten of at the door
of his hut and walks about as q living

TWO EXAMPLES OF
MUSCULAR CHRISTIANITY
Priest BraveIy Stops Runa-

Gang of Burglars.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
PARIS, October 2 1911.
Two fine examples of muscular Chris
tfantty are reported.
There was a fair at Rodez the other
day. Startled by the music of a merry
go-round, horse took fright. In the
little dogcart behind 1t were a woman and
two children. The frightened horse. with
the dogcart, dashed away from the mer-
ry-go-round and through the streets of
the town, scattering the pedestrians. The
woman in the .dogcart lost all control of
the horse and was shrieking for help.
Suddenly man i'm the dress of priest
dashed out of side street, threw him.
self at the runaway horses head and
chung there. He was dragged along for
some yards and the crowd shouted and
cheered, for the priest was well known to
them all. He was Mgr. de Ligonnes,
Bishop of Rodez
The bishop. who Is a man over fifty, is
tall and well built. His hat rolled off
and his silvery hair was dabbled with
red as the horse dragged him along, for
his head had been bumped several times
against the stones of the street. But he
had the horse by the bride and held 1T
firm.
Weight Told in Struggle.
At last his weight told and great
cheer went up as the horse was stopped.
The women and children were uninjured.
The bishop is very little the worse for
his act of courage and refused to allow
a doctor to attend him.
At Lille five masked burglars broke into
the vicarage attached to the Roncq
Church at 1 o'clock in the morning. The
house is large one, and the priest. Able
Boulanger, lived in 1T with his mother,
who is eighty-siX years old, and Mile.
Lennon, a housekeeper.
The burglars entered the housekeeper's
room first and standing over her with
drawn revolvers, said that she would be
killed unless she quietly took them to the
place where the priest kept his money.
Mile. Lennon tainted from fright and
the burglars were ranSacking the house
unaided when the Able Boulanger, hear
| ing a noise downstairs and thinking one
| of his parishioners had need of him, put
on his cassock and ran into the dining
room.
There he was suddenly faced by the
| barrels of five revolvers.
"I will give you what you need" said
| the Able Boulanger, and he suddenly
struck out, flooring two of the burglars
with the ease of hero in me- odraml.
| The three others fired, and the able
| was wounded by two bullets in the head

| to knock the other three men down be-

Gave Them Constitutions.

The kaiser swept away their disabili-
ties by promulgating a constitution for
both provinces. granting them their own
state legislatures, together with repre-
sentation in the federal council Of the
empire, but this act OF political Justice
which reflects credit on the Judgment
and good sense of the emperor, was high
ly d:spleasing to the reactionary Prus-
sian conservatives.
Alsace and Lorraine, according to the
conservative version, are so close to the
French frontier and peopled so largely
by population of French descent that
possession of full constitutional rights in
volved a grave danger to Germany mas
much as they will probably exploit their
newly gained political power not to con-
troll their own local affairs efficiently, but
to promote the reconquest of the two
provinces by France. The emperor, on
the other hand. acted on the belief that
the bestowal of full political rights would
tend to make them happy and contented
citizens of the German empire, and thus
remove precisely that danger which the
conservatives see in the new order of
things.
Another cause of complaint by the con-
servatives is found in the action of I'm
perial Secretary of State for the Interior
Herr Delbruck. in seeking the co-opera-
ton of the socialist party in the reichstag

ROME. September 80, 1911.
The tragedy of Verbicaro has had the
effect of definitely lifting the veil OF 81
lence that has been drawn over the SUBJ
ject Of the cholera in Italy throughout
the year. But 1t has done more than
that. 1t has drawn more attention during
the last few weeks to the conditions OF life
in a great part of southern Italy than
has been done by all the articles written
on the subject during the last ten years
1t has been well known that the 'brut-
to male (cholera) has been in existence on
the main land and in Sicily for at least
three months. but Italians have been con-
tent to follow the lead Of their govern
ment and say nothing about 1t, hoping
that it would be soon stamped out and
fearing that a public acknowledgment
of the truth would Jeopardize the success
of the exhibition. Romans did not COM
plain even when excursion trains at
cheap fares were run to the capital from
Naples, where they were well aware
that cases had occurred. 1t Is only lately
when the spread of the disease has been
too evident to be denied, that they nave
expressed openly their doubts as to the
wisdom of the policy of silence on the
mart of the government.

Exhibition Financial Failure.

1t is a question If this unwillingness to
confess the truth has not defeated It's
own object. The exhibition, in spite OF
its artistic excellence. is acknowledged to
have resulted UP to the present time IN
financial failure. The official Journal Of
Public Works has confessed to deficit
of million francs. a figure which has
been received generally with an express
sive shrug of the shoulders. And the hope
of converting the deficit into favorable
balance, which rests on an expected Dig
influx of Italians and foreigners into
Rome during the autumn and winter and
the ensuing spring, has been discounted
by the supineness Of the authorities.
This is the more to be regretted, mas
much as public acknowledgment, coupled
with vigorous restrictive measures. even
such as were taken last fall, could have
stamped out the evil when 1t first appear
ed in the early summer. And even now.
after the close of the most dangerous
period. 1t can be brought without diff
Guilty under complete control. But on ac-
count of the distrust engendered that
may be too late as far as the success OF
the exhibition Is concerned.

Hold Important Posts.

The ruling caste is predominantly con-
sentative, and conservatives hold the
most important administrative posts in
the government service, so that their in
fiuence is enormous. AS a rule, they
make a great parade of their loyalty to
the kaiser, and of their devotion to the
crown. but just now they are bitterly dis
contented with the trend of affairs, and
are venting their displeasure on the en-
peror.
An innovation introduced by the i'm
perial government has incurred their hos
tile criticism. The recent beStowal of
constitutional government on the prov
inces OF Alsace and Lorraine, which were
conquered from France in the great war
of 1870 and 1871, and which, since their
acquisition by Germany. have been ad-
ministed as crown lands. meaning that
they have had no voice in the control of
their own affairs, is what started all the
trouble.
The emperor appointed a viceroy, and
that official, together with a complete
staff of subordinates, placed throughout
the country, ruled the two provinces. The
Inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine had
no representation, and were thus de-
prived of the elementary rights of citi-
zenship. although they were compelled to
fulfill all its duties, especially in regard
to taxation.

One of the features of the past summer
In Germany has been a series of more or
less yelled attacks on the emperor, not
by the socialists or other democratic ele-
ments. but by the extreme reactionary
conservatives, who represent in politics
the interests of the great Prussian land
owners.
The conservatives in Gerr my are not
merely opposed to every kind of political
and social progress, but they are actually
retrograde in their tendencies, inasmuch
as 1t is their desire to abolish manhood
suffrage, whereby the deputies of the
imperial legislature are now elected. and
to sweep away such slight traces of con-
stitutional government as already exist.
They hold about seventy seats in the
reichstag, out of a total of 397, but their
numerical strength does not adequately
represent their real power in the coun-
try.
