HISTORIC OLD TOWN!
Port of Southampton Has Pic
turesque Attractions.
NO Place on South Coast Of England
Situated so Beautifully as This
Ancient city-Wool House on
Quay One Of the Sights.

London. - The fifty-third annual
church congress, which opened on
September 80, had for its place of
meeting the historic town and port of
southampton; still, in spite of the
vast developments Of docks and ship
ping which render it rival even of
Liverpool, town of much pictures
que attraction. There is no place on
the south coast of England situated SO
beautifully as this ancient port: and
the voyage from it down SOUTHAMPTON
water, displaying scenes of quiet
woodlands, pastures and sunlit fair
way, adds another pang of regret to
the Englishman's departure from
home, just as the passage past the
Needles and Calshot Castle, between
the Wight and the mainland, and up
to Southampton heatens the wander
er's return from overseas.
This way came the Romans voyag-
ing to and from their port of Clausen-
tum, identified now with Bitterne,
some two miles higher up the estuary
of the Itchen, a spot where the coins
of the Caesars and the potsherds of
dead and gone civilization are yet
plentifully found. The Saxons, follow
ing their usual custom, established
themselves on a new site when they
came here, and left the ruined and
deserted Clausentum to the spirits OF
the dead and the evil things which
they ardently believed inhabited the
deserted homes of men. Thus South
ampton arose where we now find it.
We do not nowadays trace any Saxon
remains here, although in those days
this was a place of Importance, and
the building called Kings Canute's
Palace" is later than his time. It was
here-as that monkish chronicier
Henry of Huntingdon, would have us
believe-that Canute, the immediate
successor of the Saxon monarchs, put
the gross fiattery of mis- courtiers to
the test. They had told him his pow.

LIONS LOOSE IN A CROWD
Two of Beasts Hold Leipsic Hotel All
Night, While Guests Barricade
Their Rooms.

Leipsic.-When street car collided
with a circus wagon at midnight it
liberated one tiger and eight lions,
and Leipsic was in an uproar until
daylight.
The appearance of the wild ami
mails in the center of the city created
panic among the thousands here to
attend the celebration of the centen-
NAL of the Battle of Nations"
The woman trainer of the animals
recaptured the tiger, but the lions
had a merry time until the police
killed six and roped two. One lion
leaped to the drivers seat of mo-
tor bus and dispossessed the chauf-
feur, to the discontinue of the pas
sengers. A policeman shot the beast
from his perch. Five other lions were
shot down in the streets. Two more
leaped through the plateglass front of
the Butcher hotel and held high car
nival in the corridors all night. The
hotel was crowded with guests who
had attended the military celebration.
The guests, screaming with terror,
barricaded themselves in their rooms
and distracted clerks with calls for
help. Some were for escaping through
windows, but quickly crawled back
when they saw the turmoil in the
streets below.
The police reserves, the fire depart
ment and the troops quartered with
out the town were called on to capture
the lions and restore order. A thick
fog added to the terror of the night
and the whole city was in panic.
