in Hattiesburg, Monday,
Oct. goth, there are several hundred
wild animals, most of which we're cap
tured in the forest and jungles of their
native country.
There is no more ticklish or danger
Gus task than tracking lions in the vast
Nubian deserts. The scorching sun
pours down with such force that few
men can stand it. The effect on the
eyes is binding. There is little or no
shade. The wariest and most careful
hunter may be tracking an animal. and
at the same time be tracked by the
animal he is seeking. who may spring
on him at any moment.
For capturing full-grown lions large
traps of various forms are used. One
trap is square, one of the sides lifting
upon a spring like the old-fashioned
mouse trap. This trap is bated with a
piece of fresh meat, and as soon as
the lion has entered the trap the door
shuts down and he is prisoner. More
than a score of lions with the Hagen
beck-Wallace circus were captured in
| this manner.
Elephants are generally caught ii
noCses. A number of men surround
the elephant after they have previous
" formed a circle of fire about the
beast. The fire gets closer and close
to the elephant and finally a noos'

1t was originally planned to have a
wedding breakfast of three hundred
covers in the banquetting hall of the
palace, but this has been abandoned,
and in its stead Prince Arthur and
the bride will hold an informal re-
ception there to the guests, before
taking their departure.
After the reception the young couple
will be escorted to their carriage by
the King and Prince of Wales. An
escort of the Scots Greys, Prince Ar
thurs regiment, will be drawn up out
side the palace, and will ascort the
carriage to Portsman Square. That
is the only military display connected
with the wedding. The couple leave
later in the afternoon for their honey
moon, but will motor from town and
their destination is a secret.
The trousseau of the bride will be
British made and of British materials,
so far as possible. The gifts include
some very valuable and rare Irish lace
some of the family heirlooms. Much
fine embroidery has been done in
Scotland and some of the gowns will
be of silk from Spital1elds. The
Duchess of Fife is devoted to sport
and number of homespun gowns
coats and shirts are being made from
materials woven by the peasants o
her home district. Pearls have beel

Queenstown, May 2e.-The America II
line steamer Haverford went ashore
today in a dense fog in the vicinity OF
Daunt Rock, which she is supposed to
have struck.
She is taking water forward and has
requested tugs to disembark her pas
sengers.
She is believed to have about 1000
passengers. of whom $50 are second
class and the remainder steerage.
The Haverford took a large number
of passengers on board at Liverpool
for Philadelphia.
The sea is smooth, out the shore
along this coast is very rocky. The fog
continues dense.
Daunt Rock is a pinnacle shaped
submerged rock about five and a half
miles southwest of the entrance of
water and rises from a rocky bed OF
considerable size.
Several tugs have been sent out to
the Haverford's assistance. The liner
was said to have struck the rocks
during a dense fog. She is command
ed by Captain Evans.
