Tiger Runs Amuck.

Seamen of the British freighter ko-
rama; which arrived at Philadelphia
yesterday from the far east, told the
story of how Bengal tiger, loosed
from it's cage on the ships deck dur
ing heavy storm in the Indian ocean,
drove the members Of the crew to the
rigging and below the matches and
kept them prisoners for more than
four hours.
The tiger was shipped at Calcutta
on July "a. On the night Of August
20, while the Koranna was driving be-
fore q terrific gale, the animal ate Its
way through the bars OF its cage. The
crew on deck scrambled to the rigging,
and those below barred the doors and
the matches.
Chief Officer Smith and Second Off
Ger Warren held the bridge, one navi-
eating the ship and the other keeping
the tiger at bay, until sudden lurch
of the vessel sent the tiger rolling
into the sea. Greved by the loss OF
his pet, Abdul Harechi, the Malay
keeper of the tiger leaped overheard.
His attempt at suicide was blocked
when the ships lifeboat picked him

Rulers.

Belfast, Sept. 119.-From early last
evening until nearly daylight today
the iercest rioting ragged throughout
Belfast. A free fight between home
rulers and anti-home rulers began the
outbreak. Following it members OF
various unionist clubs, supported by
mob of hoodlums ragged through the
streets, smashing the windows of Cath
olics homes in the residence quar-
ters and looting their shops in the
business district. The police were
stoned in the most brutal manner. Re-
peated charges by the officers, with
drawn clubs, failed to quell the rot

were badly hurt.

MANY Return to Old Methods.

Paris. Sept. 19.-Tremendous in
terest was expressed in French mill
tary circles today at the news that the
English army manoeuvers have been
called off because the completeness
of reports made by rival aviator
scouts to their respective command
ers made it so easy for the opposing
forces to counter one another'S moves
that no progress was made.
The same thing happened at the
Frenc hmanoeuvers. In Germany,su-
periority of the aerial scouting by the
army of theoretical invaders was the
main reason for the invaders victory
over the defeiding forces. Dispatch
es say aviators' reports at the recent
manoeuvers in New England rendered
one another's moves an open book to
the opposing commanders. Finally, 1t
is principally to aerial scouting that
the ease of Italy's victories over the
Turks in Tripoli is attributed.
French experts believe that the up
shot will be the abandonment OF tao
tics in the near future and return
to hand to hand fighting.

Aldermanic Probe.

New York, Sept. l9.-Satisfied that
the foundation had been laid for COM
plete disclosures regarding the pay
ment of money for promotions IN the
police department, the aldermanlc IN
vestigating committee was prepared
today to fully investigate that side OF
the scandal before continuing further
its probe of the appointment OF unhC
men. Chief Counsel Buckner and his
assistants conferred today and pre-
pared to subpoena men whose names
have been freely banded about as
graft and promotion money collectors
ever since the present scandal was pre-
cipitated by Rosenthal's inItla! attack
on Lieutenant Becker.
1t was made certain today that the
Aldermanic Probers will have to wo"k
carefully unless they intend to en-
barrass the John Doe probe which JUS
tice Goff is to manage. Although eV-
erv witness, with the exception OF the
mavor and Commissioner Waldo, have
been compelled to file written notice OF
waiver of any immunity that might
accrue from testimony they might give
MANY of the best lawyers IN the city
are skeptical over whether this waiver
would hold in criminal proceeding.
It was urged that immunity was some
thing that could not be automatically
waived and that if criminal proceed
ings were brought as the result OF any
be determined by the trial court thaV
indictments would not hold. Because
Of this fact Buckner and his assist
ants were proceeding cautiously.
A report that influences had DeeA

anthal. widow of the murdered garnh-
ler and that she was about to leave
town to prevent being called as vii

Women as Car Conductors.

Traction Company employees in
Philadelphia are much wrought up
over the alleged trial on Monday of
two girl cashiers from the Elevated
as conductors on the new pay-as-you
enter cars. Although the employ
ment of the women in this capacity Is
denied by company officials the men
are unit in declaring the report TO he
true. and this is further substantlated
by some of the Elevated employees,
From all accounts the experimental
trips of the girls were made on the
Darby and Twelfth and Sixteenth
street lines, but the women were with
drawn after couple of round trips
had been made.
1t is stated by the men that should q
favorable report on the work OF the
girls be made, it is only a question OF
time before they will supplant the
men on the new cars. Other cities
are watching with interest the eXper-
iment which is being tested in PhlIa-
delphia.

Guarding Cardinal Gibbons.

Wichita, Kans., Sept. 19.-The po-
lice today took extra precautions 70
guard Cardinal Gibbons from cranks
following the arrest last night of Mrs.
Myra McCheney, street preaching
suffragette, who threatened to slap
the prelate if she could get close
enough to him. The woman obtained
a position where the churchman would
have to pass close to her to reach his
automobile.

she said to persons in the crowd, land
If can reach Cardinal Gibbons, | will

The police took her in custody be-
fore the cardinal came from the new
St. Mary's Cathedral which he is here
to help dedicate.

Disorder in Budapest.

Budapest, Sept 19.-Eighty persons
are under arrest today for partici-
pating in last nights riots here. Two
or three hundred are suffering from
injuries sustained in the police charg
es. Twenty-four of them are seri-
ously hurt and there may be deaths
among them.
The authorities are greatly alarm
ed at the boldness with which the
universal suffrage agitators defied the
police prohibition of their demonstra-
ton last night and the order for the
closing of all houses at 8 p. m. The
situation has assumed Amos: revo-
lutionary aspect. In resisting the po-
lice last night the crowd behaved
with the utmost determination. They
met the mounted officers charges
with showers of stones and broken
bottles and there was pretty brisk
revolver fire. The authorities Will not
reveal the extent of the police casu-
alties but it is certain that a number
of them were badly wounded.
Several anti-universal suffrage
newspapers were unable to appear to
dav as a result Of damage done to
their plants by mob attacks. Due to
the overturning of trolley poles and
the ripping up of the rails in some
places the street car service is COM
pletely disorganized. In one quarter
the city will be in darkness at night
probably for week while the gas
lamps upset by the rioters are re-
placed.

Strange Freaks of Pain.

A cotemporary says pain sometimes
behaves in a curious fashion. There
was a soldier in London, after the
Boer war, who complained of excru-
ciating neuralgia pains in his right
foot This very much amused his
friends, for he had lost his right leg.
The explanation was that the pain hap
pened to be in the trunks of those
nerves, which had sent branches 70
the foot.
Sometimes patient comes to doc
tor complaining of pair in the knee,
and he is greatly surprised when the
doctor tells him that the site of the
affection is not the knee, but the hip.
We are all familiar with the pain un-
der the shoulder blade which comes
from an affected liver.
The stomach, too, can produce pain
in many parts of the body. A dlsor-
dered stomach will give us pain as far
away as the head, and when one gets
cramp in his toe, it is often due to
acidity of the stomach. Swallow A
pinch of soda and the cramp will dis
appear. An aching tooth will produce
neuralgia pains in the face, and very
often violent pain at the back of the
head is due to the faraway kidneys,
which themselves may suffer no pain
~ the time.
